Are you feeling a little overwhelmed about the amount of time your friends and colleagues seem to spend in the gym? Are you turned off by the idea of a tennis game that entails not only the hour-long match but also getting to the tennis club, changing into a tennis outfit and then showering afterwards?
You think, “That’s almost 3 hours; three hours that I could have devoted to nurturing my clients and expanding my sales territory.” Well, the bad news is being penny wised and pound foolish, which does not work in any circumstance; especially where fitness and your health are concerned.Ask yourself; are those three hours worth skipping during a given week when you know that years of optimum health can be yours if you had a positive attitude and a reasonable dose of discipline?
Here is A Simple Exercise Program for Everyone!
Instead of ignoring exercise altogether, here’s a suggestion for integrating it into your busy schedule. Think of exercise like you think of a major task in the office; break it up into small components.
Instead of spending two hours in the gym or on the tennis court like some of your friends, ask your trainer to divide your workout program. You may want to also incorporate some kettle bell training into your program to really shake things up a bit!
Suggestion A
30 minutes four times a week; for example; 20 minutes of cardio, 10 minutes intense weight training (1-muscle group; for example legs)
Suggestion B
30 minutes three times a week
Monday: 20 minutes cardio + 10 minutes stretching
Tuesday: 20 minutes weights (2-muscle group; for example back & abs + 10 minutes of cardio
Wednesday: 20 minutes of cardio + 10 minutes of intense weights (2-muscle groups; for example triceps & chest or biceps and shoulders)
Suggestion C
20 minutes five days a week
Week 1: All cardio
Week 2: Weights
Week 3: Cardio on Mon/Wed/Fri
Week 4: Weights Tues/Thurs
Repeat the entire cycle when you get to month 2
Live Fit Live Strong!!
