Spring Break Update....Never Too Late


We are on the verge of spring break. Hopefully all of you have taken a few of my tips and tried them out to get in a little bit better shape before you hit the beach. Even if you started late with the "spring break lifters," hopefully you found at least a few of my tips helpful.

If you haven't had a chance to get a regular routine established yet, don't be afraid, it is never too late to start. You can easily get into a steady exercise regimen after the break. My advice is to start out slow and condition your muscles by going about 3 times per week. After two weeks, increase the amount of training days to 4 times per week, allowing a day’s rest in-between workouts. If you are just starting, you will be sore for the first couple weeks. It is important to get good amounts of rest at night to let your body rebuild in time for the next workout. Surpassing the first month of training is the hardest part to establishing a consistent routine. I hope you attempt to establish a routine and make it past the rough stages of being sore. If you can commit yourself to a new lifestyle, you should be well on your way to overcoming the exercising hurdle that most people can't overcome.
