Spring Cleaning Your fitness

It’s Spring Time

One of our favorite times of the year.

Time to clean house, clean closet, cleanse your body, and prepare for summer.

Does this include your workout? You bet it does!

This is a great time to evaluate your workout and fitness.

Are you still in the gym with the same old routine?

If so, you are missing out on an opportunity to make a change, turn up your calorie furnace and energize your attitude and results.

I recommend making changes to your workout monthly for the most effective results for fat loss, toning, and strength.

As you may know, changing your workout periodically keeps your body in tip top shape.

The same old workout will result in less calories burned, over use of the same muscles, and what we truly don’t like…boredom.

- Here are a few tips for “spring cleaning” your workout.

1) If you are doing the same cardio program, change.

Move to bike, treadmill, elliptical, jogging… something different. This will accelerate your calorie burn and work new muscles.

Try an interval workout of one minute at medium intensity (60%), and 30 seconds of high intensity (90% not able to have a conversation), repeat as able.

2) If you are on a weight training program, change to intervals.

Perform a set of squats, then upper body, then cardio, and repeat with minimal rest. This will increase your heart rate and improve your conditioning.

3) Review your diet.

By diet I mean the food you consume. Are you eating 4-5 smaller meals per day? Are you including protein at every meal? Are you including veggies at every meal? One small change can make a difference.

As always, call or email me for assistance to help you get dialed in for spring and summer.

Yours in good health
