My workout routine

People, exercise is good for your health. Period.

I like to workout. Often working out is a hated business, but I do enjoy it. Call me a masochist, but am I the only one who loves how my muscles hurt the morning after?

I am not telling you that you have to workout until you drop, but 20 minutes a day is a fantastic way to start. Any exercise is good exercise. When you are active you feel good about yourself and you keep your body healthy. Back in February I shared a post with tips on how to stick to your workout, today I am sharing my exercise routine.

One of the things I hate the most is doing the same workout routine over and over. I get bored quickly, so I often make a variation or two, every other week. I also like to divide my workouts. For example, I always include cardio, plank and abs in every workout, then I add 4 different exercises of legs, arms or back in the routine depending on the day. When I have less time I just stick to cardio.

My cardio varies a lot. I love to run, I fast-walk, I walk with incline, elliptical machine, bicycle, etc. I normally have a goal regarding time. Some days I feel really good and extend my cardio and other days I just finish my goal and continue the workout. The same happens with my ab routine.

Please remember to ALWAYS stretch. I cannot emphasize this enough. We don’t want injuries.
