My work out tips

I love working out. My workout routine helps me stay fit. Here are some tips I have when it comes to working out:

• Cardio helps burn calories, and lifting helps tone. The combination gets great results. Both are important. 
• Althought I keep my cardio and lifting separate, you can combine them. Do a little cardio everyday, and lift a little everyday. Working out different muscle groups everyday. Ex: one day lift arms, next day legs, then back and chest, and so on. 
• Don't get discouraged if you initially gain weight when you first start working out. Muscle weighs more than fat. Muscle weight is good weight. In fact don't worry about the scale. Measure your success by how good you feel and how good you look. 
• Consistency is key when it comes to working out. Even if your feeling lazy one day or don't have much time to work out. Go to the gym anyways and have a short work out. A short work out is better than no workout

My workout routine

My workout routine is simple. I run 3 times a week and I lift 2 time a week. I like to keep my running days separate from my lifting days. I run anywhere from 3-10 miles, depending on the weather and my mood. I love running and its a very enjoyable activity for me.

In the last couple of years I have gotten into lifting. Running alone I get too skinny. Adding lifting a couple times a week helps tone me. I like looking muscular and being strong.

I'm interested in looking fit, not skinny.
