New Years Resolution: Get Fit
How to do it . . . Web MD

 

For the average person, a good fitness program consists of exercises that work out the whole body. A cardio workout improves the function and health of the heart, lungs, and blood vessels. Weight-bearing exercises enhance the function and health of the bones, muscles, joints, and connective tissues.  read more on how to do it right!

Exercise Intervention Tips
You can do it! 
  1. Workout with a buddy. You may find that having a friend around really helps with exercise adherence and you may be able to encourage each other to try out new activities. Or hire a personal trainer. They will add variety, safety, fun and keep you accountable to ensure you experience great results. And that will motivate you to keep working out!
  2. Try a live or virtual group exercise class 
  3. Get out your IPOD and workout to your favorite play-list. Music always makes a workout more enjoyable.
  4. Knowledge is Power. Make it a goal to learn about your body. Attend lectures, purchase exercise, nutrition or motivational books or consult with a personal trainer. The more you know, the easier it is to convince yourself to stick to your program.
  5. Do something new. Next workout, try a brand new exercise you've never done before. If you always do tricep pressdowns to work your triceps, next workout try a tricep dip. If you always jump onto the treadmill for your cardio training, try jump roping, the moving stairs, cycling, or Jacob's ladder.
  6. Vary your pace. If you always do level 3 on the elliptical for 30 minutes, next workout go for level 4 for only 20 minutes. If you always run for 40 minutes, next workout run for only 20 minutes and incorporate some high-intensity intervals. If you always do the same number of reps, go for a change of pace. For example, if you always do 15 reps of any exercise, next workout increase the resistance a bit and do only 10 reps. This will keep you mentally and physically stimulated!
  7. Change the sequence of your workouts. If you always do your cardio exercise first, next workout do a brief warm-up, then do your muscle conditioning exercises and then finish with your cardio. If you always do your leg exercises before your upper body exercises, reverse this next workout.
  8. Mix up the indoors and outdoors. Do you find yourself always working out indoors? Once a week, go outside for a power walk, run, hike, inline skate or cycle - climb a set of stairs outside instead of the machine-version. If you're always outside, go indoors for one workout a week. Start a resistance training program or indoor rockclimbing. The change of scenery may be something your body needs.
  9. Go for a rush; a high. Every few months, set a new, challenging goal. Train for fun runs, triathlons, half marathons, marathons, extreme hiking adventures,and cycling treks.
