Workout tips...

Workout Tips
On a bike, in the water or in your office!
  • "A bicycle is one of the most important things you can ever own to stay healthy. Instead of driving everywhere, try biking. When you start, warm up for 5 minutes and once you get your heart rate up, keep it there for at least 20. When you're finished, go in a slow steady pace for another 5 minutes. It's effective and something you'll never forget, just like riding a bike."
  • "Working out in the water is perfect for people with bad joints or certain ailments. Here are some things you can do; start by doing jumping jacks for 30 seconds then tread water for 30 seconds. Alternate this for 10 minutes to start, increasing your time with each workout."
  • "If you have a job that requires you to sit in an office 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, chances are your body isn't burning the calories that it should be. Here some tips on how to get a workout in while at work. Leave a resistance band at your job. They're great for bicep curls or tricep textentions, Instead of using a desk chair, try a stability ball. You'll constantly be working out your core muscles. Get to work!"
