No Gym? No Problem! #21 Strength Training Guide for Women

LauraJoli LookingJoliGoodLeave a comment

Cardio is cool, but I love to workout with weights! Building muscle increases your metabolic rate which burns more calories while you are at rest.

I like to use  10 lb weights, but 3 lbs, 5 lb, or 8 lbs weights are great as well!   You can always push the up button by increasing the weight you are lifting.

Start with one set of each move. As you get stronger, try to do the circuit two or three times. After six weeks you can expect to see improvements in strength, muscle tone, and endurance. You will be shocked at just how strong you are!

As always…No excuses! Just do it!

No Gym? No Problem! #13 Leslie Sansone’s 1 Mile Happy Walk at Home

About 10 years ago, I had just had my first baby and I was a happy couch potato.  I ate whatever I wanted and never ever even thought about exercise!  One day, I was out shopping, pushing my baby in the stroller, when I caught a glimpse of my reflection in the store’s window.  I was literally appalled by what I saw! 😱

Having never consistently exercised in my life, I didn’t know what to do or where to start; I just knew that I needed to start something! The next day I began my health and fitness journey with a one-mile walk at home exercise DVD by Leslie Sansone.

I slowly but surely got stronger and grew to love exercising!  It all started with a one-mile Leslie Sansone workout.  The rest is history!

Leslie Sansone will always have a special place in my heart!
