Many of us start a workout with a goal in mind – “I just need to burn 600 calories” or “I’m going for 45 minutes”. What should you do if you are behind in that goal mid workout and you know you won’t make it? Keep trying AND add another goal – like finishing your water bottle or doing a few deep stretches. Turns out, these second goals can be more important to your overall health than the first one!
What is the most effective workout? I get this question a lot. The answer is the one that prevents injury! If running causes you tendinitis, you might want to consider cycling. Spinners and cyclists tend to have fewer endurance related injuries. A great calorie burn goal is getting the WATTS/minute on your bike at or over your body weight.
Did you know when we exercise your blood goes through your kidneys more than the average 180 times per day? This keeps your endocrine system working strong!
