Resistance Bands
In order to use up all this empty space in my apartment I’ve started working out more at home. I dusted off my resistance bands and realized how much I like them. They are light (much easier to store at home then weights) and pack a powerful resistance. They are very versatile. All you have to do is youtube resistance bands and you can see how many different exercises you can do with them. And they are cheap!

If I’m On My Feet All Day, That’s A Cardio Workout, Right?
I’m on my feet all of my 8 hour shift, and my legs were feeling it the first week of my new job. So I thought that because I was on my feet and walking all day that that was enough of a workout. Then I picked up the Women’s Health Training Guide and this question was in it:
Q: I’m on my feet all day. Do I really need to hit the gym, too?
A: If you’re walking from 9 to 5 and the numbers on the scale are stagnant or heading in the wrong direction, then yes, a more intense workout may be in order. Even walking nonstop, you wouldn’t burn much more than 500 calories in a typical workday. Aim for 20 to 30 minutes of strength training followed by 20 minutes of intense cardio, such as intervals, three times a week. You’ll get a metabolism boost and burn extra calories.
Here is the Women’s Health guide I picked up at the local bookstore/grocery store.

Push Up Variations
Sorry I’ve been MIA but I moved and started a new job. I have lots of space in my new place so I’ve been doing more home workouts. I’ve always liked the push-up so I’ve done some research on variations I can add to my home or gym workout.
Check out this link here. This guy shows 10 variations of the normal push-up, and the last one, the Aztec I’ve never seen before! Watch the video because he’s kinda cute to :-).
