Resistance training is such an important part of any exercise routine because it is the one thing that allows you to build lean muscle. Why do we like lean muscle, you ask. Well, for me its two fold; one-muscle is metabolically active so your metabolism gets a boost and helps you burn fat (yippee!) and two-muscles help keep you strong for all your daily functional activities. It’s like we say, HEALTHY LIFE, HAPPY LIFE! Total body workouts are always a winner for me because I am hitting all my major muscle groups in one workout. You throw in strength/resistance training with some cardio and abs and you have hit the trifecta!
Read MoreI did this workout on a day I was short on time, but needed a good booty workout. By combining lower strength exercises with lower explosive exercises you really challenge your glutes, inner thighs and quads while also burning fat. This is now my "go to" lower workout when I need an effective and efficient workout that will leave my buttocks and inner thighs feeling the burn!
Read MoreWith 3 daughters heading off to college this Fall, I wanted to put together a workout series that they could easily incorporate into their collegeate routine. Finding time to exercise can not only help you fight the college weight gain, but it can improve your focus and concentration as well as improve your mood and reduce anxiety and stress. There are 4 workouts in this Back to School Workout Series. If you are working out 3 days a week, I would suggest doing the upper body workout, lower body workout and cardio core workout. If you are wanting to make fitness part of your daily routine, I would suggest doing upper body, cardio/core, full body, cardio/core, lower body. So colleatates...start your year off not only nourishing your mind, but also nourishing your body. Healthy life, happy life!
