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

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!

Ok, so this is not my typical workout at all, but I did this one the other day and it was just too fun not to share.  With 34 million views, it has got to be a good one right 😉  I am not coordinated at all when it comes to dancing, so I can only imagine what I looked like doing these Bollywood inspired moves. I love her accent!  Have fun!

If you are someone that gets bored easily while working out this is a great workout for you.  Although, if you are a person that needs music to workout with, you will need to add your own soundtrack because this workout doesn’t have any background music with it.  Get ready to squat and sweat!  (and of course, burpees, because what is a HIIT workout without burpees, right?!)

Daniel and Kelli at FitnessBlender have a great YouTub Channel with lots of great free workouts.

No Gym? No Problem! #8

Remember a few weeks ago I mentioned that I have been teaching an exercise class at my church?!  Here is one of the workouts that we did together.

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 :-))

Here is the 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 cool down (level 3) with 5 min stretches.
30 min total

Take 15-30 minutes and improve your day! Your heath 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.
