Balance Your Workouts


Total-body exercise burns more calories and also causes a greater release of muscle-building hormones. A well balanced schedule of workouts will result in better overall health!

Focus on a good cardio workout during one session. Then do strength training in another, and flexibility in a third. Continue mixing up your workouts - giving your muscles a variety. As a plus - you'll be less likely to get get bored with your routine.

Variation is vital to keeping you from getting bored and always working the same muscles. Many fitness lovers enjoy cross training to help keep boredom at bay and achieve better whole body workouts!

Strength training is a great way to sculpt a slimmer and more muscular physique. Many fitness enthusiasts have discovered another way to be sleek and strong. They've learned Pilates and love it. Many fitness experts believe that this workout can help you develop long, strong muscles, a flat stomach, a strong back, and improved posture. And like working out with weights, Pilates can strengthen those crucial connective tissues ( your tendons and ligaments).

Vary your workouts occasionally by trying different exercises or sports. Enjoy playing a variety of different sports! Choose different exercise routines and gradually build upon your exercise time and intensity. Give your body a variety of challenging thrills and make it fun! Your fitness efforts will seem much easier if you’re having fun. Enjoy your journey to better health and fitness!
