This Month's Workout Series

This month I've decided to adopt the GNC summer workout series. In my last post I talked about making healthy changes and breaking bad habits. Well, here's a healthy change! It's March, which means spring Is just around the corner!! Longer, warmer days are near and I couldn't be more excited. But, that also means shorts, sleeveless shirts, and dresses are also in our near future and I want you to be able to flaunt those toned arms and legs with confidence!

This series consists of cardio 4-5 days a week and a target area (legs, butt, arms, and abs):

Advanced Series
45 minutes - 1 hour of cardio (M, Tu, W, F, Sa)
Lean Legs (M, W, F)
Toned Arms (Tu, Th, Sa) - 4 sets of 10 reps each, only rest between sets for 30"-1'
Butt Blaster (M, W, F)
Bikini Abs (M, W, F)

Beginner Series
30-45 minutes of cardio (M, T, Th, F)
Lean Legs (M, F)
Toned Arms (Tu, Th)
Butt Blaster (W)
Bikini Abs (Tu, Th)

Don't attempt to work this into your schedule. Make it part of your schedule! Make it a priority! Each target workout takes about 8 minutes.

Cardio Choices
- Sprints
- Jog
- Walk briskly (15-16 minute per mile minimum pace)
Bike
- Elliptical
- Any fitness class at the gym that gets your heart pumping
- Any activity that gets your heart pumping
* Include your spouse, kids, significant other, best friend, mom/dad - ANYONE! Motivate each other and keep each other accountable. :) It's a recipe for success.
