Full Body Workout with Weights

Posted on December 4, 2013 by admin

Hey everyone! The holidays are fast approaching and during this time of year there is an abundance of food and goodies to tempt you so to help you stay on track and keep your metabolism revved up, I have a Full Body Workout with Weights for you to try for the Home Workout of the Week!

For this workout you will need a stability ball and some dumbbells. If you don’t have either then you can use some objects around the house that provide resistance like water bottles or soup cans. A stability ball and a couple of weights are fairly inexpensive though and I definitely recommend picking some up to have at home so you can get a workout in anytime.

Lower Body/Core Circuit Workout

Posted on November 7, 2013 by admin

Hey there! I hope you’ve been working hard with these Home Workouts of the Week. I have a new one for you this week and this time you are going to be doing a Lower Body/Core Circuit Workout!

Legs are always challenging and the least favorite for most people to work on. The reason for this is because the legs consist of some of the biggest muscles in your body and thus require more oxygen and blood to be pumped to them while exercising. This means a higher heart rate and more rapid breathing. So basically working your legs is going to really tire you out. That being said, the benefits far outweigh the temporary discomfort. Working your legs will increase your metabolism, burn more calories, excrete more growth hormone in the body helping them to recover as well as helping the rest of your muscles to grow, and also give you shapely toned legs over time.

So work your legs hard and enjoy the benefits! Let me know how you do with the workout or if you have any questions.

Happy leg training!

Remember, if you have trouble remembering what the exercises are you can click on the name of the exercise and you will be taken to a page with a video demonstration of the exercise.
