Weekend Workout
If you’re looking for a way to push yourself this weekend it’s not too late to try the latest…
I really can’t stand “I can’t workout” excuses, because technology has made it sooooo easy to get a workout in. You don’t even have to leave your home. I just found a full Jillian Michaels workout on YouTube. It’s killer.
The “Banish Fat Boost Metabolism Complete Workout” is 55-minutes long, combines plyometric moves with boxing, resistance training and toning. In short, it will kick your butt and help you get your cardio, strength training and flexibility on in ONE workout. Do it and let me know how it goes.
Curious about what type of moves are in the Nike Training Club App? Watch and move, Fitblrs! Watch and move!
Happy Sunday Everyone!
Did you workout this weekend? No? Fear not! Keep reading
@amcenergyfitness This is my second time posting this after noticing I tagged the wrong person… Dude this was no joke!!! Slow reps with concentration is a must. Got 8 reps of 4 sets done before going back to regular style pushups. Abs were firing too! Get some folks!!! #pushups #abs #sweat #workout #work #focus

Last year you couldn’t pay me to go into the weight room.
I loathed it.
It’s funny what can change in a year. Now I’m in there, with or without my boyfriend, lifting my weights, building muscle and training like a boss.
I’m not a heavy lifter, but that’s beside the point. The point is I went out of my comfort zone and I liked it.
What positive changes have you made this year?

So you finally made the decision to do cardio and strength train! Good. You need both. But which do you do first? It’s the million dollar question.

Or this?[/caption]
According to a recent article in The Huffington Post, the answer all depends on your goal. If you’re looking to drop lbs, get to running. Or swimming, or kickboxing, or whatever is your cardio of choice. If muscle building is your desire, go for the weight baring moves. When you’re looking to lean out cardio needs to be your bff. Everyone’s body has glycogen, the stored glucose in muscle cells. It’s the main component in the body’s energy storage. When you run, hike, bike, whatever, your glycogen levels begin to lower, forcing the body to tap into it’s energy reserves. In plain English, your body needs fuel and will begin to take the excess fat your body has been holding onto.

Playing Volley Ball = Cardio!!![/caption]
But what if you’re trying to tone it up? Experts suggest lifting weights first. Cardio uses a lot of energy. If you perform it pre-lifting session, you may be too tired to perform sets properly or for as long. If you want the best of both worlds, try interval training. 10 minutes of intense cardio on one machine, followed by 3 sets of a strength training move, then back to cardio for 10 minutes. Before you know it an hour has past and you’ve done a full body workout!
Still need some help on what to do? Take a page from my personal workout book: 50 Hanging leg lifts
Weighted side twist on rotary machine or using medicine ball (3 sets of 20)
Cardio for 35 minutes
Walking lunges for 2 minutes with/without weight Arm raises (3 sets of 20)
Sumo Squats
Back extensions (3 sets of 20)
Cardio for 15 minutes Tricep dips till exhaustion
Crunches till exhaustion
