Three most important elements of your workout

Mixing up your workouts is a sure way to get optimal results with your weight loss and fitness regimen.  But there are three basic elements that each workout should consist of.

If you make sure that you include some of each of the following elements in every workout then you know you have a well rounded and balanced workout that
will give you the best results possible.

1) Cardio

Cardio vascular exercise

Cardio vascular exercise

The first element is Cardio, also known as aerobic exercise.  The aerobic element in your exercise routine can be something traditional like walking, running, cycling, stair-climbing or elliptical machines just to mention a few.  But you can also get adequate cardio vascular exercise by increasing the speed and intensity of your body weight exercises or resistance exercises.

You are directly increasing the rate in which your body burns calories by improving your cardiovascular fitness level.

2) Resistance Training

Weights or resistance bands

Weights or resistance bands

The second is the anaerobic element.  These exercises require that you work the muscles of your body against some sort of resistance.  To provide this kind of resistance you can make use of hand weights, machines, weighted balls or bars, elastic resistance bands or even your own body weight.

Working the muscle against resistance causes it to break down so it can rebuild stronger and leaner every time.

3) Stretching

Stretching exercises

Stretching exercises

Flexibility training helps you to perform your cardio and resistance exercises better and with less chance of injury. Most people aren’t really aware of the importance of a good stretching routine as part of the scheme of things.  Staying flexible keeps you looking younger and more mobile – don’t skip this important part of your workout.

With the Hot Burning Body I made it really easy for you because you get all these elements in one.  I have made sure that each exercise has a good balance between all three these very essential elements.  You won’t even have to think about it but at the same time you can be sure that you will be getting everything you need.

The Hot Burning Body workout is a well balanced system that allows you to get the most benefit in the shortest time possible.  In thirty to forty five minutes you will get a kick-butt workout that will leave you feeling energetic and that will help you reach your fitness and weight loss goals.

Also have a look at the most effective and latest craze in the fitness world… Kettlebell training. I have two amazing Kettlebell workout DVD’s available for you. One for beginners and on for more seasoned kettlebell enthusiasts. It is the best way to burn calories and get your strength training and cardio-training all in one.

But no matter what method you might choose to work out, always remember – a well balanced workout is just as important as a well balanced meal!

Kind regards
