Everyone knows that regular exercise is an important part of a healthy lifestyle, but it can often feel like a chore. This is especially prone to happen if your routine doesn’t change much from day to day. Perhaps you only run or walk, and take the same routes every day. Maybe you only lift weights, and do the same reps or moves on a rotation. Whatever your exercise routine, variety is the key to both enjoying and sticking with your commitment to fitness. Here are a few of the best reasons to add a little variety into your exercise plan. Variety breaks monotony and boosts motivation, preventing burnout.   If you ask most people why they stopped working out, they’ll probably say they lost motivation and interest. Committing to an exercise plan is hard enough, so if it’s also monotonous and boring, you’ll have an even harder time sticking with it, long-term. Something as simple as changing up your walking or running route, trying a workout DVD, going for a hike, or doing a different...

Great abs are the ultimate sign of fitness on both male and female physiques. With countless fitness experts out there, you’d think getting great abs would be down to a science at this point. Instead, competing voices and conflicting information can be confusing to the person who just wants to rock a 6-pack. Beyond genetic factors you can’t control, the keys to getting phenomenal abdominals are the same as they always were: simple, and within your reach. Key #1: Work All Your Abs Crunches and sit ups are probably the two most over-used ab exercises. These moves work the upper portion of the ‘rectus abdominis’ (6-pack abdominals), but don’t do much for the obliques or transverse (deep) abdominals. Some people also find crunches and sit ups very uncomfortable, especially for the lower back. Does that mean you should never do a sit-up again? Certainly not. But just like any other muscle group, the abs need to be worked both jointly and separately from different angles to achieve balance i...

Some people prefer to workout alone, and don’t need much outside motivation to commit to getting fitter. Many others, especially those who are joining a fitness center for the first time, can have a hard time sticking with a routine once the initial enthusiasm wears off. Finding a friend to workout with can provide the perfect solution if you need help with motivation and prefer social activity. The benefits of a good workout buddy include: Motivation to workout consistently. It’s much easier not to hit snooze when the alarm goes off if you know someone will be meeting you. Longer, harder workouts without even thinking about it. As you focus not on your pain, but your friend’s company, workouts will seem easier and fly by faster. Fun and a little competition. It’s just plain more fun to workout with a partner, and if either of you is remotely competitive, it can benefit your fitness to have a friendly rival. Finding a workout partner might seem simple, but it can actually prove diffic...

Medicine balls are a common accessory at most fitness clubs, but if you look closely, you’ll start noticing a slightly different type of exercise ball that packs a heavier workout punch: the slam ball. So what makes a slam ball any different than a medicine ball? Like medicine balls, slam balls are designed for adding weight to traditional calisthenics, but they’re also heavier. Although medicine balls can be bounced, they aren’t designed to take the same beating as slam balls –much heavier versions of those cruel gym-class dodge balls you may have encountered in elementary school. Adding weight to an explosive throw, slam balls draw on and increases muscle strength, power, and coordination. Because they bounce, you’ll be able to repeat reps faster than with a dumbbell or kettle bell for an integrated, intense cardio/strength training combination. Retrieving and throwing the slam ball engages the shoulders triceps, abdominals, quads, glutes, calves, and back — a dynamic, full-body work...

If you’re new to ‘doing’ fitness, it can be hard to know where to start. Showing up at the fitness gym is the first step, but then what? Without hiring a personal trainer to accompany your workout sessions at the health club, how else can you know where to start? Here are some basics to planning and implementing your own fitness routine. The ultimate goal of a personal fitness routine is a balance that includes the three basic aspects of physical fitness: cardiorespiratory endurance, muscular strength and endurance, and flexibility. Doing all cardio and no strength training may lead to muscle imbalances, injuries, and lack of muscle tone. On the other hand, strength training all the time might leave you buff, but panting after going up a flight of stairs. Neither of these are useful if you are unable to flex and move your body through its full range of motion. Cardio-respiratory Endurance The ACSM recommends the following minimum level of cardio-respiratory exercise: At least 150 minu...

For newbie fitness club members, some pieces of gym equipment are more difficult to master than others. Treadmills and elliptical trainers are fairly self-explanatory, but when it comes to the rowing machine, proper technique doesn’t come naturally. Nonetheless, it’s vital to avoiding injury and getting the most out of your workout. This introduction to the indoor row machine will give you a better understanding of proper technique so you can start rowing like a ‘pro.’ The indoor row machine, otherwise referred to as an ergometer (ERG), gets its nickname from the device that tracks the amount of energy expended during activity. And, in this case, it’s a lot of energy – up to 800 calories an hour! Check out these other reasons to love the rower: It provides a near-total body workout — quads, hamstrings, back, abs, arms, shoulders, and calves. It’s low-impact. Depending on how it’s used, it increases aerobic fitness, strengthens muscles, and builds explosive power. It’s a popular option ...

The beginning of the year is a good time to set new goals for fitness – the more specific, the better. One specific goal many people find motivating (and fun) is a walk/run event. Signing up for a tangible event that is the culmination of weeks of training not only provides motivation through the daily grind of workouts at the fitness center, but offers a reward for following through on your commitment. Regardless of your perceived fitness level, walk/run events are challenging, and require preparation. Choosing an event in the spring or early summer will give you plenty of time to train from 4-9 weeks, depending on your current fitness level. For your first event, make it something especially fun, perhaps one that benefits a favorite charity or cause. Find an event that offers plenty of support, motivation, and –most of all– some sweet swag such as a medal or customized t-shirt you’ll be able to commemorate it with. The following are a few guidelines for the best experience as you pre...
