Hump Day Exercise!!!!

Fitness Personality No. 3: The Weight Lifter Fitness is a weighty matter for you. by Tiffany Owens for MSN Health & Fitness The inner key to your fitness personality is expending extra energy. You like to take charge and enjoy a challenge, so your workout will be most effective if you set goals. When exercising, you want to mentally be a million miles away from your daily routine, using this time to concentrate on strengthening the physical body you depend on. Going to the gym is a much-needed rush for you. Feeling the "burn" of exercise and seeing quick and measured results to your fitness efforts is what drives you to work hard in achieving your goals. You prefer to have a steady workout partner so you can chart your progress and cheer each other along. Your personality is most likely to have both a gym membership and workout equipment at home, to cater to your every "instant gratification" workout whim. Expanding your fitness horizons is another key to helping you stay motivated and stick with an exercise program. Your weekly routine should also incorporate cardiovascular training for a healthy heart and stretching/strengthening exercises to fortify abs and prevent injury. To add a few new activities into your regular fitness mix, try investing in one (or several) personal training sessions to get acquainted with new techniques and move beyond your current plateau. Other activities to try: Aerobics Cardio Fusion Exercises Handball Jogging Jump Rope Kickboxing Medicine Ball Exercises Pilates Raquetball Resistance Bands Sit-Ups Speed Walking Spinning Stomach Crunches Tae-Bo Tai-Chi Yoga So what have you done today?
