Get up and get moving!

Working out at least 3-5 days a week is the surest way to loose and maintain weight. Cardio and strength training plays a big part all together. Yes, even women should lift weights. Not to bulk up, but train each muscle group and it burns more calories than cardio alone. Joining a gym is a good idea but let’s face it, a lot of us don’t have time or the money to do so.  There are several options to choose from such as fitness DVD’s where you can get a nice workout in the comfort of your own home or get out and walk a mile or two on a nice day. Also, there are all sorts of equipment you can use such as dumbbells, resistance bands, and medicine balls. Even on the go you can make choices to fit workouts in. For example, Instead of taking the elevators use the steps. Park farther than you normally would and walk the extra distance.  Every movement counts. Having a workout partner is a great way to stay motivated and hold each other accountable while at the same time having fun. So, GET UP, AND GET MOVING!
