Since today I am lacking in a information and health updates, I’ve decided to share some of my own secrets. Exercises and cardio routines that may benefit others.

 
First, for my fuel before the gym, I eat an apple, or half a banana. This keeps me going through my whole workout and after my shower. Then I go eat again. Usually another piece of fruit. 

Cardio-

• 10 minute job to warm up. Then interval for 20 minutes. 2 minutes at a fast past with one minute slow pace. This can be slow like a walk to a jog. Finish with 5-10 minute cool down. 
• 5 minute warm up, 10 minute run, 5 minute cool down. Weight training. Repeat the cardio section.
• Running intervals with exersice sets. Example, run for 2 minutes, slow down the pace for one minute, then do squats. Run for 2 minutes, slow for one, then do push ups…
• You could also do big mash ups like 15-20 minute run. 10 minutes of running intervals. 15 minute walk. 
• Running/walking for 30 minutes then the elliptical for 15-30 minutes.
• How about run/walk for 30 followed by 30 minutes of the cycling bike.
• walk at 4.0mph @ 4% incline for 3 minutes, 1 minute at 5.0 @ 5% incline, 1 minute at 6mph @ 6% incline and 1 minute at 7mph @ 7% incline. Repeat 3-5 times. It will kick your ass.

Exercises

• Planks 30 – 60 seconds. Planks with weights. so you hold a plank position then lift a weight to work triceps
• jumping jacks
• jump roping
• mountain climbers
• sit ups
• squats and lunges (do with weights)
• worm down into a push up, do the push up, inch worm back up to standing
• biceps with a squat
• shoulder presses
• rowing machine
• curl and press with squat
• high knees and butt kicks
• saxon side bends
• learn yoga poses to stretch and cool down

I hope you enjoy some little tidbits.
