Weight a minute Wednesday: Fun ways to stay fit
I am excited that Spring is here, but the moment I felt the first warm breeze, I got a little nervous, because I knew that meant two things. Open toes and bathing suits. I’m not shy about my feet, so it was the latter that got me to thinking about hitting up a gym. I am really lazy when it comes to my work out regimen. I get bored easy and running on a treadmill or elliptical isn’t fun to me. Maybe if I could master the art of reading on one of those machines it would be more appealing.
Since I’m pretty sure that shopping doesn’t burn as many calories as it does cash, I need to get up off my butt if I don’t want to be the only girl on the beach in a sweatsuit. To get me interested, whatever activity I choose, needs to be fun and not feel like work. I don’t really like being outside, but I don’t mind getting in a good sweat (makes me feel like I’m doing something). Can’t swim because I don’t like to get my hair wet. I’m not athletic, or good at any sports, sooooo – my activity of choice is some type of dance class or maybe kickboxing. Since I can’t even pretend to be an expert on this subject, I have no problem telling you I spent quite a bit of time on google searching for these fun ways to get fit.

Do you have any ideas on how to bring the sexy back this Spring? I am open to all suggestions
Most women that I train tend to stay interested in their training as well as seeing the fastest results when I use escalating density training (EDT) in their workouts. The quick down and dirty of it is that you do a free weight exercise that is around 40% of your 1 rep max and plan for sets between 3-5 reps. The best exercises to choose are compound whole body movements like squats. After doing the 3-5 reps (wise to start with 3) you will rest 30 seconds and then repeat the exercise for another 3 reps. Keep this going for 15 minutes. If it’s easy, increase the weight next time or lower the rest interval. Pick another exercise like Olympic lifts (like the snatch or push jerk) and continue for 15 minutes. You can burn an enormous amount of calories if you do this consistently.
