Missing your workouts

Missing your workouts

The next time you think about missing your workouts think about that friend or relative who is too ill to get out of bed. There is a purpose for what you do.

Remember that exercising isn’t just about looking and feeling good in the short term. The benefits of exercise are truly long term. Whatever you do now impacts your future so stay dedicated as tough as it may be.

Missing your workouts may not seem like such a big deal but it all adds up over time. Keep it up and give yourself the best chance for a long, healthy and happy life.

Stop weight gain during the holidays

Stop Weight Gain

Stop Weight Gain via ppurgedschneider

In order to stop weight gain during the Christmas holidays we need to focus on a few things. The holidays tend to be a time when we are busier and tend to eat more food than normal. This means we workout less and eat more calories. This of course is a bad combination as we have two things working against us.

To stop weight gain during the holidays we suggest scheduling your workouts during your day like you would schedule other meetings or appointments. This will ensure you stick to your workouts. Also since most of you have less time to work out we suggest you try interval training during your workouts. Interval training involves short bursts of intense exercise and this will burn more calories than steady exercise.This means you don’t have to work out as long as normal to burn the same number of calories.

We also suggest you keep track of your eating so you know how many extra calories you are eating. Remember that one pound is 3500 calories so for every 3500 extra calories you eat above and beyond your norm you can expect to gain a pound of weight. This is not very difficult to do especially given the high calories most Christmas goodies have in them.

Our Cardio Blast Ultimate Athletic Meal Plan and Cardio Blast Fitness Tracker give you great meal ideas and help you stay on track with your food consumption. For more information please visit www.blog.cardioblast.com.

Stay in Shape rather than Getting Back into Shape

Stay in Shape

Stay in Shape

If you think it’s a lot of work to stay in shape try getting back into shape. We realize it’s a grind sometimes to force yourself to workout even though you don’t want to. You may be tired, sore or just plain lazy that day. Just remember no matter how hard it is to get your workout in day in and day out to stay in shape, the other side of the coin is much tougher. We all have family and friends who have been on that workout roller coaster where they workout for a few days, weeks or months. Then they fall off the wagon and go back at it again a few months later. Trying to get back into shape is twice as tough and takes a lot of work. Often you get sore and the workouts become much tougher when you are trying to get back in shape. Let’s face it. Staying in shape requires a great deal of motivation and willpower. However, the long term benefits to your overall health and the ease to maintain this far outweigh the short term perceived benefits of having a break from your exercise routine.

What does a Cardio Blast Workout look like

A Cardio Blast workout is something unique and different that people need to experience. Recently, Alex K took 6 of his participants and invited them out for a Cardio Blast workout training session. He took the drills from one workout of Cardio Blast and put these girls through the ringer. There was no slacking off here. They had to do all of the drills to their full effort with the extra benefit of having Alex motivating and pushing them throughout the workout.
