Super Simple Fitness

I’m over those fitness magazine layouts with “12 Moves for a Better Butt” or “6 Exercises for Toned Thighs.”  Okay, those are great instructions and worth your while, but I’m busy, impatient and really all I want is a short list of what to do real quick in between laundry and breastfeeding.  I’m more likely to get the routine done if it’s short and sweet, and if I can do it without driving anywhere.

Two a Day Workouts for Runners

At Home Workouts For Runners was super successful so we are bringing you more goodness! Two A Day Workouts For Runners. Although pretty rare now, I used to be able to pull off two a day workouts and it was no easy feat. 

Contrary to popular belief–you CAN workout twice in a day! It doesn’t have to be crazy long or even super exhausting but honestly if you have a 15 minute pocket in the morning and another in the evening why not take that time to take care of your body? The benefits are the same as a full gym session!

My take on the two a day workout can be done at home and doesn’t take very long to complete.

Get a Dancer's Body with these 8 Moves

For dancers, it’s all about stability. Stabilization comes from the core; and while that can help with a dancer’s craft, a tight core can help you look and feel good. Whenever doing any of these moves, always remember to keep your posture up and your abs in nice and tight, not only for a better workout, but also because it prevents you from injuring yourself. Not only is your core important, but what catches your eye about a dancer is their strong, lean legs. 

Calf raises: Get those legs tight from ankle up with this move. You can do this move on flat ground or take it to the next level by doing it on the stairs or with dumbbells. This is a great move to do anytime of the day standing in line, waiting for the microwave to beep or brushing your teeth! Click here to see the move.

22 Easy Ways you can Get Fit in College.

It seems that everyone is on a diet but isn’t dieting ‘right.’ I understand that figuring out how to get fit in college is hard because you are stressed, you are busy, and ordering a pizza is so much easier that cooking.

HOW NOT TO GET FIT IN COLLEGE.

• Calorie restriction – nothing infuriates me more than seeing magazines or other blogs advertising ‘low calorie meals’ or ‘how to eat less calories.’ Calories are not the problem when it comes to maintaining weight, it’s eating good calories and making sure to get your body moving to burn a few calories, too. (More on that later!)
• Calorie - deficiency is scary! We are talking hair loss, infertility, moodiness, insomnia, and other unideal symptoms. Even if starving yourself were the best answer to weight loss it would hardly be worth it!
• Fad diets – I probably don’t need to go far into this because by now most everyone knows the dangers of fad dieting. If you’re really focused on changing your health for the better and are hoping to see long term results, then you need to commit to a sustainable diet – not something that you have to suffer through every day.
• Hiding from carbs – like calories, carbs take a lot of heat in the media and in magazines directed at women. Carbs don’t make you fat, they give you energy and make you happy.

The Only 7 Gym Machines Worth Using

Despite the fact that kettlebells and bodyweight workouts might win the gym popularity contest right now, fitness pros agree: Not only are exercise machines totally fine to use, they might be especially helpful if you’re new to working out.

“It’s true that if you’re using free weights you have to recruit so many stabilizing muscles,” says Shannon Fable, certified trainer and programming director for Anytime Fitness. “But when you’re getting started, using selectorized equipment (the machines with weighted plates) and just learning the movement pattern is OK.”
