Mix it up!

    Fitness returns slowly after a layoff. My layoff was due to sickness and it lasted from mid September to late October. I still did some stuff but, nothing felt good. I am trying to get in good shape before the holiday food onslaught. I am going to mix it up a little more.
      The first part is strength work that is geared towards explosive moves versus endurance. Think jumping on benches, lunges, quick movement with weights. This should help develop more muscle and burn some calories.
    The second part will be short but, intense running or biking. Try starting a run or bike and when you are warmed up go hard for 30 seconds, easy for 60 seconds and keep repeating this your whole workout. This should help shake the sluggish body.
    The third part is the endurance workout. These are workouts that last over an hour. Low intensity but, necessary to develop your cardio and burn large amounts of calories.
  The last part is nutrition. Try each day to eat well for that day. Repeat the next day. Eliminate the stress eating!

Get out there and use your body to its maximum.
