Ready for a Jump Start?



I had the pleasure of having to jump start my car this morning - but after it was running and I was on my way to work, I thought about how it's a necessity to "jump start" different areas of our lives every now and then. From relationships, to financial messes - being able to jump start and mix things up can really save us from falling into a routine. However, one of the biggest routines that many people get involved in is with their workout routine!

There are women in the gym who have their workout routine down to a TEE. They come in, grab an elliptical, do that for 40 minutes- stretch, do a couple of resistance machines, and they are done. After months and months of this, they have yet to see any results. As I walk around the gym and introduce myself to all the potential clients, I try to make it a point to let them know that it is essential that they switch up their workouts every now and then.

Jump start your workout routine TODAY by doing the following:

♥ Researching & Implementing HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training) into your workout

♥ On your daily run - incorporate sprints into a normal jog

♥ Sign up for a Bootcamp or Group Fitness session that will be different then your regular daily workout routine. In LA? Visit Body Synergy OR In St. Pete, FL? Visit Combat Fitness

♥ Invest in a Personal Trainer to get top notch results faster. Sports Specific in St. Pete, FL? Visit Ryan Magin Are you a Bride-to-Be in Detroit, Michigan? Visit Jenny at MadeFitTV, OR Strength Training in Edison, NJ? Visit Zach at Underground Strength

♥ Focus on keeping your heart rate UP - spend less time on 'resting'

♥ Embrace the jump rope! (or jumping in general) See: Plyometrics

♥ Utilize your weekends for Activity-Based Events - go kayaking, rock climbing, cycling along a trail, hiking, play a game of football with your friends, etc!
