Work Out At Home

7 01 2010

With the weather the way it is, I thought I’d post a ‘back to basic’ home workout for everyone to try.

As you will see, it is short, simple, effective and don’t need any equipment to do it.

Give it a go and feel free to let me know what you think.

Remember to perform an appropriate warm up before getting stuck in.

Perform 10 reps of each of the following exercises in sequence, aim to complete 3 to 5 rounds with minimum or no rest between exercises. (Click on exercise for demo)

For the beginner: Perform press ups with knees on the floor and perform the V-Sits with your knees bent if needed.

For the more experienced: try increasing the reps to 15 and performing the burpees with a jump when you get up.

This New Year really can be the year that you create the new you…
Here’s my 5 step plan on how to make it happen starting this week:
Step 1
Pick an actual date. Not Monday, not today, but an actual date like
January 9th as the day when you will have everything in place to
start creating the “new you.”
Step 2
If you start before you have all your pieces in place then you’ll
be more likely to get tripped up along the way and cheat on your
nutrition and exercise plan. That’s why I believe the planning
process and the start date are key. Take 3-7 days to get all your
exercise and eating plans in place so that you can hit the ground
running and never look back.
Step 3
Seek advice and choose an exercise plan that is structured to your individual needs.
Don’t just hop on a treadmill or go out and buy a shiny new piece
of exercise equipment. I’ll let you in on a little insider’s
secret… no piece of equipment helps you lose weight. YOU lose the
weight as a result of actually exercising!
Step 4
When it comes time to pick a “diet plan” look for one that can be
maintained for life. Unless you plan on microwaving your frozen
meals or counting calories for life, I recommend you choose a more
sensible nutritional plan that allows you to understand why you
will lose weight by eliminating certain foods and eating more of
the nutritious kind.
Step 5
It’s been shown that if you enlist the social support of a friend
or family member you’ll be far more likely to succeed. Ideally,
you’ll have a program or person who keeps you accountable and
moving forward even when you want to quit.
The road to transforming your body is never easy, but then again
anything worth achieving never is… I’ve found that my clients who
have made it a priority in their life end up attaining the greatest
results.
We all have busy schedules and commitments that drag us in dozens
of different directions, but that can’t be used as an excuse.
Happy New Year and I hope to be of help to you soon!
