Spring has sprung and you’re wondering where to begin? Well, if you are like many other women that are deciding to hit the gym first; this article is for you! While thumbing through my April issue of Fitness I came across a great article about “Walking your way slim!” As a former distance runner looking for health and fitness alternatives I was impressed with the workout. I have looked to Fitness Magazine for years when it comes to getting fit, recipes, and references that are true that provide real results!
Walking for 45 minutes 3-4 days a week and doing low impact exercise can burn up to 1300 calories per week! If exercise isn’t your thing and you would rather shy away from anything longer than 5-10 minutes then I suggest the 10 Minute Trainer! This series of videos kick butt! After my first 2 minutes I was ready to through in the towel. Not only was I sweating, but I felt the burn! Now for those ladies that need a riveting challenge there is always P90X and P90XPlus! I personally wouldn’t be able to do it based on my schedule…”yes, I’m making up excuses!” I have one word for P90Xers: “Why?”
When you’ve decided what works best for you, gather all the necessary tools: new fitness sneaks, your DVD player, towel, 32 ounce water bottle, heart monitor watch, yoga mat and any other necessary items. Always remember to have fun! It’s important to keep a light heart while achieving your fitness and personal goals. By setting small challenges/goals you are more likely to reach your overall goals! The working out to get fit, and working out to loose weight or fit in a new pair of jeans works differently with different individuals. Choose wisely how you shape up for Spring!
Once you’ve reached your goal(s) reward yourself! A new outfit, donate money saved on eating in, girl’s night out, or something you really wanted but held out on! Enjoy! You deserve it!
