Please check yesterday's post, my message to readers!
I always enjoy finding articles about with insight from trainers. Usually I find that I prefer my workout routine to their suggestions, but sometimes I pick up some interesting tips. Also, it saves the money you might have otherwise wasted on hiring a trainer for a few hours.
So when Women’s Health Magazine came out with the top 10 tips from trainers, I couldn’t resist taking a look to see if any of them had come out with a breakthrough technique that beats the traditional exercises and healthy diet we all know and love. Here’s the best tips I found-
Increase flexibility-
One trainer boasts a resume of studying with several Pilates greats. She says that extended flexibility mimics motions you use in other activities, making those easier for you when you increase your range of motion.
Strengthen your core-
For anything and everything you have ever wondered about your core, check the last 3 posts. No wonder trainers are trying to get you to strengthen your mid section!
Connecting mind and body-
Focus on other areas of your life besides just your physical workout. If you’re stressed, tired or mentally not fit, you won’t be able to get the physique you’re after either.
Mix it up-
Try different classes, expand what you know. Including martial art moves, yoga, stretching, and other aspects into your workout helps keep you interested and increases what you’re able to do.
Work your total body-
You may not think you need to work on certain areas of your body, but you could spend considerably less time in the gym if you focused your exercises on targeting multiple muscle groups of your body at once. (Think about weights on an incline or the balance of a stability ball.)
Improve you agility-
Keep yourself moving with fun and exciting workouts. Things like jumping rope as fast as you can or completing tasks that challenge your endurance and agility are fun ways to compete with yourself day after day to see progress. Think about joining high energy classes, the atmosphere will keep you motivated.
