I get bored with my workout routine if I do the same thing everyday, and frankly, so do our muscles. It is actually better for you to change things up, do different routines and shock your muscles. Here is a great circuit workout that combines cardio, arm, leg, and ab exercises. Warm up by marching or slowly jogging in place for 2-3 minutes to loosen up your muscles. Do three rounds of the exercises listed, 30 sec water break in between rounds. End the routine with 5 minutes of stretching.
As always, please consult a physician before beginning a new exercise routine. Take breaks as you need and listen to your body. This is not a race, and in fact, it is better for you to do the weight bearing exercises at a slower pace (rule of thumb on weight lifting: 2 or 3 counts up, 2 or 3 counts down). If you have knee or joint problems, adjust the workout as needed to make it low-impact. Contact me if you need or want more information on this. Now go get moving!
Happy Fitness!
