What does it mean to be in shape? Many people think if your "skinny" or slender you are in shape. WRONG!!!!! As a trainer and an instructor I see many different fitness levels. Don't assume someone is in shape just because theey look it.
I do not like to run on a treadmill, do the elliptical or spin class. I get way too bored, but at times its nice to use the elliptical or do a spin class because its a change in pace. I like to run outside and ride my bike around the bike trails. I usually don't workout an hour a day. I usually do a 30-40 minute HIIT (high intensity interval training), 3 times a week with 2 days of cardio. I love muscle, so I like to life heavy. Here is what one of my workouts might look like. I set a interval timer for 30 sec of work and 15 sec of rest, which is usually transition time. I put together 3 exercises and I do 3 sets for one round. But I always start with a warm up. It's usually 8 cylces of 30 sec jump roping with 15 sec rest. Understand I don't do this every week. I might take a recovery week, which is less intensity.
A circuit might look like this:
Overhead lunges using a 25lb weight plate
squats with 25lb dumbells
sprints
***that would be a leg circuit***
I do about 4 different circuits and some leg toning and abs at the end.
My point is I like to lift weights. Some like to run or just do cardio.
If you can go to the gym and workout for an hour and not sweat...you are not working hard enough. If you don't have the motivation to push yourself I suggest you hire a personal trainer. Ladies, don't be afraid of the weights. Muscle takes us less space than FAT!!!
Get motivated to be your best and Take Charge of your LIFE!!! TODAY!!!
