No gym no problem | lookingjoligood.blogIf you have been reading Looking Joli Good for any amount of time you know that I always enjoy workouts from Fitness Blender! There is nothing like a good sweat to improve not only your circulation but also your mood! This 37 minute Fat Burning Cardio Workout will be just the thing you need to get your blood flowing and your mood improving.

As always with Fitness Blender workouts, if you need music to help get yourself motivated during your workout, you’ll need to add your own music playlist to this video.

I especially like the slow burpees, just kidding I absolutely hate burpees!!!

No Gym? No Problem! Week #7 High-Intensity Interval Training

I love HIIT workouts!  HIIT stands for High-Intensity Interval Training. A HIIT workout consists of alternating levels of high and low-intensity activities.  Your level of intensity is based on your own physical fitness level.  Listen to your body!

Here is a breakdown of how to measure your own personal level of intensity:

1- resting in bed, sitting reading a book, watching TV
3- slow movements, body starts to warm up a bit, can easily carry on a conversation
5-body is warm, heart rate is slightly elevated, can still carry on a conversation, yet slightly out of breath
8-heart rate is elevated, cannot comfortably carry on a conversation
10-all out as hard as you can go, heart rate is at max level, if you push it any harder you may puke, pass out or die. (let’s not push it past a 10 :-))

HIIT workout: a 3:1 ratio of low intensity (level 5) for 90 seconds and high intensity (level 7-8) for 30 sec:

5 min warm up of slower smaller versions of the exercises to be done during the HIIT workout. (level 3)

low intensity (level 5) for 90 seconds/ high intensity (level 7-8) for 30 sec.

1. Hot Feet
2. Jump rope
3. High Knees
4. Skaters
5. Jumping Jacks
6. Single Leg Vertical Jumps
7. Alternating Double Knee Strikes
8. Punches
9. Mummy Kicks

4 min cooldown (level 3) with 5 min stretches.
30 min total

Take 15-30 minutes and improve your day! Your health and wellness are worth it!

Remember to keep proper form, Chest up, shoulders down, abs tight, knees above the ankles, behind the toes. Warm up before, and stretch after you exercise to prevent injury.

You don’t need a bunch of gym equipment to get yourself into shape.  You don’t even need hand weights, all you need is your own body weight.  I love to use my own body weight for strength training!  I can tell you from personal experience that these 8 moves will help to build your strength!

Body weight exercises | lookingjoligood.wordpress.com

Michele Olson, Ph.D., professor of exercise science at Auburn University Montgomery designed this simple 8 move program.  She suggests that if it is done 4 times a week for 6 weeks, you will see an increase in your overall strength.  If you would like, you can check out the original article for yourself at http://www.realsimple.com/health/fitness-exercise/workouts/body-weight-exercises

Be sure to use good form when performing these moves!  (Besides the lunges, I love all of these moves! I still HATE lunges! ) 

Keep moving!  With these simple 8 moves there are no excuses!

I always like to start out the new year with a great stretching workout!

You may not realize it, but flexibility is just as important for you as strength training and cardio!  Sometimes I am so sore from a previous intense workout that I need to rest my muscle for a few days and focus on flexibility and stretching.  This is a quick 5-minute flexibility workout by Bowflex is such a great all over body stretch.  Sometimes I do this quick routine on days that I don’t have time for a full workout but want to stretch out my muscles anyway.

Remember to keep proper form and warm up before and stretch after you exercise!
