The Three "F's" of Fitness
|
This past week I was inspired by a nurse
named Beth who revealed her greatest fitness secret: Doing her job.
We all know that nurses work hard; they're on their feet for long periods
of time, often doing physically and emotionally draining tasks. But
Beth's rule is simple: She doesn't like to go to the gym, so she uses a
pedometer to count her steps while she's on duty. She starts early, so by 1pm, if she's not on track to meet her daily quota, she takes the stairs instead of the elevator, or offers to make extra trips down the hall for her co-workers. (Looking for a way to crank up your own walking routine? You can get started with my Walking For Fitness Kit - complete with light hand weights, an
Indoor Walking DVD, and your very own pedometer.)
Beth is a classic example of the
"functional" version of fitness. As you've heard me say before, exercise can be categorized as 3 F's:
- Fun - dancing, hoola-hooping,
or playing a sport.
- Formal - specific cardio and strength training
routines.
- Functional - everyday activities like walking, carrying
groceries, climbing stairs, etc.
Beth's story was a great reminder that
when it comes to weight loss, every little step counts, and you don't have to
be at the gym to increase your calorie burn.

| Run, Jump, Dance |
When it comes to the Fun stuff,
summer is a great time to explore new types of movement. My daughter Kate
called me from San Francisco to announce her new passion: Ultimate
Frisbee!  While running has always been her competitive
sport of choice, she was looking for something new, and decided on a whim to
join a friend for a huge Ultimate Frisbee competition in the park. Since
she's a pretty hardcore athlete, she wasn't expecting much of a challenge, but
she was amazed that, after an hour of playing, she got what she dubbed
"the workout of a lifetime." If you're in a rut, you'll be
amazed at the results when you try a new type of movement.
 So this
summer, jump into your own game of Ultimate Frisbee, head to the tennis courts
with a friend, or consider adding a few new new dance moves to your weekly routine. My "Dance Off The Pounds" DVD is a great way to shake things up with 6 easy-to-follow
routines including sizzling Latin Rhythm and even Belly-Dancing!

Mix It Up to Keep Up the Burn

Then, of course, there's the Formal.
While this might not seem as enjoyable (or even practical) as the other
stuff, make no mistake: jazzing up your regimen can transform your workouts
from a tired chore to a ton of fun. So call up a friend and start a buddy
system to meet for workouts - you'll exchange tips, ideas, and keep each other
motivated. Jump into a new step or sculpting class you've never tried.
Make an awesome workout play list on your iPod that inspires you to push
it to the next level. Or try working with a personal trainer: many clubs
offer one complimentary session, and it's a g reat way to learn new techniques
and jumpstart your routine. And, of course, you don't have to leave the
comfort of your home. Try mixing up your formal workouts with
my Rejuvenation Total Fit & Firm Kit and Cardio Fat Burning DVD, having the right tools on hand is your key to success!
