Some surprising facts from the Colonel
Eight week advanced fitness plan
The focus of this plan is variety. We all know that cross-training is the key to a successful workout as it keeps your muscles from becoming adapted to one form of exercise. Although your body will benefit from say 5 gym sessions a week, it will benefit even more from just 2 gym sessions, a combat aerobic class and another cardio session as well as a stretching class such as yoga or pilates. Enjoyment is one of the most important factors in making exercise apart of your life in the long-term. Remember you can always swap an aerobics class for an indoor cycling class. Do a studio weight lifting class instead of a session in the gym. Try aqua aerobics instead of a legs bums and tums class. Find an activity you look forward to that gives you results and before you know it, the `looking fantastic' comments will be flowing in.
Remember that it is still important to pace yourself throughout the next eight weeks and if there's one day you really can't face working out - listen to your body and miss that day and resume the next without the guilt. If it's a case laziness and it's motivation that you need - visit the Shaping Up for inspirational advice and support.
