Speaking of spoiled...look at what my Valentine sent to my office...ROSES!
It's something about flowers that just make the world go-round, no? Thanks Babs :) Did you receive anything special from your Valentine? Exercise Update On behalf of few different reader requests, I decided I am going to start posting more of my workouts. Here is a brief overview of my current weekly workout schedule: Mon: 60 minute Yoga Sculpt Tues: 2 mile interval run + Upper Body Lift Wed: 4-5 Mile Run Thurs: Off Fri: 2 mile interval run + Lower Body Lift Sat: 60 minute Yoga Sculpt Sun: Long Run (usually between 5-6 miles) As you can see, I have upped my strength training from 2-3 days a week to 4. Just an fyi, Yoga Sculpt is a full body strength workout. With that said, I have been doing some sort of strength training at least 4 days/week. I decided to increase my lifting because I want to tone up a little bit before my trip to Mexico (with my family) over Easter. I am by no means an exercise expert or a certified personal trainer, but I have done a fair amount of research on many different types of exercise. What I have concluded is that strength training is the way to go! I used to be a cardio queen, however I never really saw results. It definitely helps me maintain my weight, but it really hasn't ever done the "fat-burning" trick. An article I recently read on JillFIT inspired me to start lifting heavier weights with a lower repetition as opposed to lighter weights with higher reps. It has only been about 2-3 weeks of lifting more and heavier, and I can already tell a difference! Any strength training recommendations?! If you had to chose between cardio and strength training, what would it be? Enlighten me with your exercise knowledge... |
