Because I travel so much I bring my workout clothes and shoes wherever I go. That way I can always do some exercise.
I'm probably the least flexible athlete you'll find. When it comes to yoga I can't get in the positions and I can't hold them. You have to be pretty flexible to do it. Once you get certain positions you have to have the core strength to hold those positions. It's a pretty good workout.
Tennis takes care of everything. It requires agility and quickness to get to the ball core strength to get power into your shorts and stamina to last for an entire match. In addition to toning your arms and shoulders it's a total body workout for your legs and abs and works your heart and core unlike any other sport.
My workouts include aerobic exercise for a healthy cardiovascular system strength training to maintain muscle tone and bone density core strength exercise for a stable mid-section and stretching to maintain mobility.
I do a dance-based cardio workout infused with circuit training and emphasizing strength and alignment.
All the sudden high-impact stress can really take a toll on your body. So if you still want to be active and get in a good workout go to a yoga class or pilates class or get in some strength and conditioning.
I'm an English boy. I played a lot of sports growing up but I never had any kind of workout regimen.
My workout regimen at the moment is nonexistent. I wake up in the morning and brush my teeth. My toothbrush and deodorant are my only dumbbells. That's about it.
I need to eat before a workout. If I exercise in the morning I'll have a little oatmeal cereal or a hard-boiled egg with toast. If I go in the afternoon I'll eat a turkey sandwich with cheese for lunch.
I get up in the morning and do a seven-minute yoga workout. I know the most likely time I'm going to do something is when I first get up and I make it short because like you I don't really want to do that first thing in the morning.
My New Year's resolution is to stick to a good workout plan that will keep me healthy and happy.
At least for soccer players it comes down to a blend of two types of fitness - your base endurance which comes from longer distance running and your speed which comes from sprint-based workouts.
For a good workout I go to At One Fitness in North Hollywood where my trainer Jon Allsop puts me through it all. I like it because it's a small gym and I've known the people for a long time. Jon will have me do cross-training where I'll lift weights jump rope throw around a medicine ball and I never get to stop.
I do a one-hour workout called Drenched a cardio-boxing fitness routine Monday through Friday. There are usually between twenty-five and fifty people there - everyone from stay-at-home moms and professional martial artists to teenagers and seniors. They play great dance music. When I can I take two classes back-to-back.
With both kids I started working out again at 16 days postpartum but I treated myself with kindness doing mild workouts because my fitness level was lower.
It's very important to have the right clothing to exercise in. If you throw on an old T-shirt or sweats it's not inspiring for your workout.
By learning about my body and making small subtle changes I find out what I enjoy and what is effective. I'm always finessing: adjusting my diet and my workouts. You have to figure out which exercises are fun and interesting and stimulate your brain - or else you'll never keep at them.
I'm terrible with my workout regime and following it strictly. I'm terrible with a healthy diet and following it strictly. I'm terrible on the weekends about getting up at reasonable hours and all of those things. But when it comes to my work and the discipline it takes to get to work on time - I hate unprofessionalism.
Hiking is the best workout!... You can hike for three hours and not even realize you're working out. And hiking alone lets me have some time to myself.
I feel so good after a workout. Any time you can be alone with yourself is really important.
