  Fitting in Fitness      
 
With the busy lifestyles we Americans lead, it's often hard to fit everything into our day. But exercise increases our health and improves our quality of life--the very things that are drained away with our constant rushing here and there. When you begin to feel how beneficial exercise is to your well-being, you will make it a priority in your life.

 
 
Remember that exercise doesn't have to last 60 minutes to be effective; thirty minutes doing the right kind of workout will yield the same or even better results. How does a workout that's half as long yield equal results?  
   
 
Total-body exercises (such as lunges, thrusters and dead lifts) increase your heart rate as well as your strength and provide an excellent, efficient workout. Do a computer search for "body-weight exercises" where you'll find numerous examples and how-to's.

Continuous movement is key here: when you're done performing one set of an exercise, move right to the next exercise. If you feel like you must rest, do an "active rest"--crunches, planks, stretching, etc.


 
 
If you'd like a professional to help you with efficient exercises, meet with one of our Personal Trainers who can design a workout plan that is customized to you. Becoming efficient in the gym means you don't have to sacrifice health and well-being because you "don't have time."
