BODY EXERCISES

And so you can write it down, here is
the write up for the exercise routine. 20 body weight squats 10 push ups 20 walking lunges 10 dumbbell rows (using a gallon milk jug) 15 second plank 30 Jumping Jacks After you’ve completed your workout, make sure you stretch. All of your muscles have been contracted
from lifting and need to be stretched
back out and rebuilt. For either the body weight squats or lunges, if you can’t do them properly yet, it’s okay to put your hand on a support to keep your
balance. For the body weight squats, think of it like sitting back into a chair. If you can sit down onto a chair, and then
stand immediately right back up
without having to lean forward, you
are in balance. For the lunges, keep your eyes ahead and your upper body completely vertical. I had a slight bend at times in the video due to
trying to exercise and explain at the
same time. I used a milk jug for my dumbbell, but you can use whatever is heavy enough for you. Find something that is challenging to lift 10 times in a row. Do this routine 2-3 times a week, but never on consecutive days . You don’t build muscle when you’re
exercising, you build muscle when
you’re resting. Generally I follow a
pattern of strength training on one
day, then 20 minutes of interval training on the next, then strength training, then interval training, and so
on. You never want to do a strength
routine two days straight (of the same
muscle groups), as your muscles
haven’t had time to recover. Along with this routine, you need to make sure you’re eating properly! A good workout and crappy diet will
not get you anywhere. Lots of real
foods (fruits, vegetables, lean meat,
nuts, etc.). Eat natural, whole foods
whenever possible, and leave the
soda, candy, and junk food out of your system. Your diet is at least 80%
of your success or failure.
