adminAlthough we celebrate this day in different ways, the best in my own perspective is to have time for praising and worshipping. And lest we forget that Jesus came to save us, so likewise let’s save one another in any way we can. Whenever there is joy, there is an equal chance of sadness as well. Let’s control our excitement, don’t drink too much and become a danger to yourself and other people around you. Let’s exercise extreme caution on our roads. Don’t allow beer to drive you to your death. Don’t drink and drive.
Eat enough to enjoy every moment, over-eating can be a simple case to other calamities. Plan your eating, remain active and stay in shape. Christmas is only one day, although we tend to celebrate it way before and long after the actual day. Nothing wrong though about it, but that’s why I have come up with this short, quick and effective workout, so that those who are keen will keep up their fitness and maintain their body shape.
It’s a fact, most of us won’t be really interested in committing themselves to anything besides their holiday. But don’t forget, there is still life after the holidays. And I don’t want to lie to you, it still involves some exercises and commitment, no short-cuts, to maintain your fitness, staying in shape and feel hot during and after holiday. Don’t make it too boring by doing nothing all day long. So just shake it up a bit by doing some of these cardio exercises.
Cardio exercise is the reason why most athletes look so fabulous. Swimmers have always got those nicely cut shoulders, cyclists with those nicely toned legs and runners always maintain a lean physique. So you can also do it. Combine these three events known as triathlon training and you will definitely get the results. Just do it in a fun way and freshen up, you don’t have to go hardcore. This will spice up your holiday.
These cardio exercises will only take about 30 minutes of your day.
Choose any of these three combinations depending on where you are and what equipment is available around you. Team up with your friends, partner and children and do the same exercise at a time.
First Combination
1.Triple action — this is for fast results
Pedal bike at a moderate pace, not too fast, working hard enough, but can still carry on a conversation. Ride for 10 minutes. Next run either outside or on a trampoline or treadmill for another 10 minutes at a reasonable pace. Last, head on to the swimming pool or a rowing machine and put in another 10 minutes at the same pace throughout. Stretch for five minutes and you will be done.
2. Strength moves and cardio exercises — this will give a maximum fat-
blasting
Skip for one minute without stopping and rest for 30 seconds and do six sets. Then perform two sets of those five minute bodyweight workouts in a circuit form i.e. squats, press-ups, box step-ups, dips on the box and crunches. Seek advice if you don’t know how to correctly do them. Do as many repetitions as you can on each exercise for one minute, moving to the next without resting. End with a medium pace 10 minute jog.
3. Cardiovascular Endurance Combination — for muscular and cardio endurance improvement
Choose any three cardio machines, i.e. bike, treadmill and a Trojan fat burner and do one after the other. Jump on the first machine for 10 minutes or an average resistance.
Move immediately to the next machine and increase more resistance than the first machine. Go hard that you should barely be able to say out words, go for another 10 minutes. Finally, switch onto the last machine and do another 10 minutes at half the resistance from the second one. Stretch and cool down for five minutes.
NB: Also take these five eating plan and stay in shape:-
i. Eat about six small meals; don’t starve, you will end up prone to illness. Eat more alkaline foods and less acidic ones.
ii. Take a bit of carbohydrates; your body needs them to burn fat.
iii. Cut out starchy food at night; have green vegetables instead of potatoes and bread
iv. Do snack an hour before exercise
v. Do not over-exercise or starve yourself; your body will eventually sense famine and stop burning fat.
Enjoy your holiday guys and Merry Christmas. I wish you the best of 2012. Take care. Shingi can be contacted on [email protected]
