There are far too many choices when it comes to choosing what exercises, cardiovascular workouts to do. I highly recommend choosing 3-4 to start with, mixing them up throughout the week.
That's what I've decided to do for these next 4 months, as I train for a fun Triathlon. Here is a little insight of how I'll keep my own workouts fresh and fun:
1. I have a goal - training for my upcoming Triathlon (biking, running, swimming race).
2. Having been an avid 5K, 10K, 1/2 Marathon, Marathon, Triathlon participant throughout my life helps, no doubt.
3. I love having a training program, which includes a lot of cross-training workouts (mixing it up). These workouts are a mixture of the triathlon events I will be competing in AND workouts that I love to do.
4. Here are the workouts I will be doing these next 4 months as I train: running, biking, swimming, Zumba dance, yoga, weight lifting, spinning group exercise classes, core work.
5. My Cross-Training routines will keep my workouts fresh and fun; that is the goal- to enjoy it!
I'll be updating you on how my first week of cross-training goes, which workouts I enjoyed the most and why.
Let's all get moving! I encourage you to set a goal, participate in a race, do it with your spouse, children, family, friends. You can do it!
