Optimize your workout

Save Tip

Sometimes we get so busy, just fitting regular exercise into our schedules is a major accomplishment. But there really is a "best" time to workout - and a best place as well. I try to follow these guidelines whenever possible.

1. Exercise in the Morning
A Recent Study showed that after one year, 75% of the morning exercisers stayed with their fitness and health program. Compared to only 25% of those that worked out in the evening. Exercising early gets you moving and energized as well not allowing yourself to find 1,000 excuses at the end of the day on why you can't work out.. "I am TOO Tired"... "I am TOO Busy"... "I am TOO far from the gym"... You know!

2. Exercise at Home
A Recent study by the University of Florida in Gainsville found that those that worked out at home lost more weight than those that trained at a gym. The reason? You are less likely to skip workouts when you do not have to travel to a place to workout. There are NO EXCUSES when the gym is at home.

3. Exercise Outdoors
Anything you do outside brings the elements, wind, hills, and other variables, into play... Plus changing scenery prevents boredom. Staring at the same 4 walls or even watching tv on a treadmill just isn't the same as experiencing the great outdoors. If you do train inside, I recommend changing machines frequently if possible to keep things FRESH.
