There is so much information out there, it can be
overwhelming and confusing. "What workouts should I do and how
often?"
Moms who are most successful with getting in shape are those who
see the bigger picture. From better sleep to regulated blood sugar
levels, more energy, and a better sex life. Who doesn't want
that?
Your health is the foundation to any change you want to make in
your life. If you look good and feel good about yourself, your
confidence will spill over into all aspects of your life!
Make a commitment to "You" and make time for fitness that works -
no excuses. Check out this video for my personal story.

Optimal
Fitness
Optimal fitness is defined as a condition that
results from a lifestyle that leads to cardio endurance, muscular
strength and flexability as well as achieving ideal body
weight.
For optimal fitness and impact you need:
2 days of Cardio workouts that get your heart rate up.
1-3 days of Flexability and Core exercises like yoga and
abdominal exercises.
2 -3 days of Resistance Training for muscle strength and the
endurance.
Frequency- 5 days a week for change. Make it
part of your routine.
Intensity-You need to 'bring it' and challenge
yourself daily.
Variety- mix it up with cardio, flexability
and resistance training.
Time- 5 minutes is not enough and more then 1
hour is probably wasting your time.
STOP Making Excuses - Take
Control
Strength is the foundation of nearly all physical goals. When
you're strong, you more easily lose fat, run faster, and will want
to play longer with the kids.
Muscle Burns Fat: So add resistance training
to your routine.
Keep it simple: 30 minutes to 1 hour a day
with a good program is plenty for results.
Maintain a log: Write down your workouts on a
calendar. Keep track so that you can create a daily routine and
feel successful.
Don't overdo it: Try to stick to five workouts
per week. . Keeping your workouts short yet consistent can give you
results and save you time. You should rotate your routine
daily.
Take to the hills: Cardio is a must if you
want to be lean and healthy. To get stronger while getting leaner,
do cardio in short, intense bursts. Go to a moderately steep hill
and sprint to the top, then walk back down.
