Workouts for Women
There are always Lifetime movie to watch, closets to clean out – there will always be a million things easier to do than exercise. You feel completely rejuvenated when you actually do it?
Seek balance in your regimen. Carrying on an exercise relationship with the elliptical trainer seven days a week in life brings on one type of healthy food – it’s good for you, but you don’t get any variety and you risk hurting yourself. We all need to do a combination of aerobic activity, weight bearing exercise and stretching. Indulge yourself in different types of exercises every other day to be fit and fine. So swim today, lift some weights tomorrow and repeat, this practice of alternating different kinds of exercise is called cross-training and it gives the total body a workout.
Exercising has cross-over effects. For instance, building muscle through lifting heavy weights helps you swim faster.
Questing for a workout partner or class will help you to stay motivated towards exercise. Keep your workouts short enough so that they don’t rule your life. If you spend two hours at the gym, working out to the point of exhaustion, you’re less likely to ever want to go back. Let the exercise be something you fit into your life; it shouldn’t become your life.
