Don’t Let Science De-Rail Your Exercise Efforts
Don’t let science de-rail your exercise efforts. There are so many rules and opinions on what needs to happen for you to get fit. Actually, there are a lot of ways to achieve fitness. Here are some options –
Interval training – If you decide that you enjoy running or biking or walking – ad intervals of "harder efforts" interspersed with a steady, somewhat challenging pace. Those intervals help to condition your heart.
Total body sports like swimming, walking with poles, rowing, cross country skiing all help with total body workout approach.
Weight training and combining upper and lower body exercises like lunges with bicep curls, squats and shoulder press, plie squats and shoulder shrugs mean that you workout large and small muscle groups at the same time. It can add an aerobic quality to your weighted workout.
Being active all day which means walking every chance you get, using the stairs, carrying packages and walking can keep you fit as well.
