I hope everyone has had a great weekend, I know I sure have. This week has been extremely busy for me, at one point I even thought I wasn't going to make it to the gym. My normal fitness routines are around an hour, this particular day I only had about 40 minutes, so instead of skipping the gym, I performed intervals.
I know you've probably heard the term interval. Basically, an interval is when you alternate high to low intensity. An example would be if you were on the treadmill you would jog for a minute and the next minute run/sprint at a high intensity. By doing intervals you burn calories quicker so you don't have to stay on the machine for a long period of time.
All of my clients perform intervals, it is a great way to strengthen your heart, burn calories, and give your workout some variety. The next time you find yourself in a time crunch at the gym, try interval training.
Thank you for reading and no matter what shape and size you are, always love yourself!!!

TIP OF THE DAY:
If you are on a mission to drop pounds take a photo of yourself and every 5-10 pounds you lose keep taking a photo. If you physically see the improvements it will motivate you to keep going.

TIME
Hi, sorry about my hiatus. I have been so busy, it's funny I'm writing about time today, and because of that I'm taking my own advice. I'm going to try in 2012 to make my blog posts a little more consistent. I will try posting two times a week on Mon, Weds, or Fri. I will be a bit more structured and make the time....just like you need to with your fitness goals.
It's a brand new year. This is the time we all make our goals and set resolutions and really feel like we can accomplish them. The BIGGEST excuse as a fitness professional that I hear over and over is that my clients don't have time. That is so absurd to me. Think about it, Time is the one universal thing that we are all given, every single person on this planet should make time to take care of their health.
It doesn't matter how much money you have, your background, your physical abilities.....every day we are all given the same 24 hours. The difference is what you do with it. I really am begging you today to take a look at your calendar and make the time for exercise and get yourself healthy in 2012. If you can't make the time for your health then really what are you living for? Make it a major priority and promise yourself that you will in fact do it!
Thank you for reading and no matter what shape and size you are, always love yourself!!!
