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!

No Gym? No Problem! #1 Five-Minute Full Body Stretch by Bowflex

LauraJoli LookingJoliGoodLeave a comment

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!

There is no music with these workouts, so if you are like me and need music while you workout, you’ll have to provide your own tunes.

As I mention all the time, I love Jessica Smith, she is so encouraging!  This workout, in particular, is one of my favorites!  I know that I have shared it before, but it is such a great all over body workout that I just had to share it again.  You will definitely be sweating as you feel the burn after doing this 35-minute strength circuit workout! While Jessica uses a step, you don’t need to have one in order to do this workout, you will, however, need two sets of weights one lite one heavy.

Take 35 minutes and improve your day! Your health and wellness are worth it!  Remember to keep good proper form, warm up before, and stretch after you exercise!

Having strong abs not only helps you to look better but it will also improve your posture as well as decrease back pain. This 15-minute workout uses cardio to target the belly fat and tone your abs.

Ok, so I am so sorry that I have missed a few weeks of posting No Gym No Problem, so I am going to post two “sister”  workouts for this week.

While I never watch “The Real Housewives of…” I absolutely am a real housewife. 😉  These two workouts are simple yet effective.  I love the way John Spencer Ellis gives guided breathing instructions.

When is a good time to start exercising?  Right NOW! Do you have 20 minutes to improve your health and wellness? Yes, You Do! No Excuses, Just do it!
