Hi, I wanted to post to see if anyone needed help putting together an exercise routine. I am a Former Marine and used to train people to get in shape and would love to share any advice I can with anyone. I am here because I have had two kids and needed something that I could use for the long haul in keeping healthy. And atkins is the best choice. I have always exercised but lets face it...childbearing will get ya lol. Weightloss is 90% diet and 10% exercise. It doesnt matter how hard you workout if you aren't eating right. So we are all in the right place.
Here is 1 treadmill workout some of you might want to try:
3.0 MPH, 0 INCLINE, 5 MINUTES FOR WARM UP
3.5 MPH, 5 INCLINE, 5 MINUTES LETS GET BLOOD PUMPING! AND THE MUSCLES WORKING
(FOR THE LADIES: THE INCLINE IS ALMOST LIKE RESISTANCE AND HELPS GET THOSE SEXY LEGS TONED)
ALTERNATING SPRINTS AND WALKING
6.0 MPH, 0 INCLINE, SPRINT FOR 1 MINUTE
3.5 MPH, 0 INCLINE, WALK FOR 1 MINUTE
6.0 MPH, 0 INLINCE, SPRINT FOR 1 MINUTE
3.5 MPH, 0 INCLINE, WALK FOR 1 MINUTE
6.0 MPH, 0 INCLINE, SPRINT FOR 1 MINUTE
4.0 MPH, 0 INCLINE, 5 mintes WALK QUICKLY KEEP THE HEARTRATE UP BUT NOT AS HIGH AS SPRINTS. You dont want to all of a sudden just stop. Just slow it down a bit to 4.0 which is still a challenge.
4.5 MPH, 0 INCLINE, 5 MINUTES THIS IS GOING TO BE A BIT FASTER. YOU GOING TO HAVE THE URGE TO RUN BUT DON'T. Control your movements and body. Focus on your breathing and keep that heart rate up and working. Its almost sprint time again. Work hard but keep control of your breathing. Your gonna need it for the last bit of sprints.
6.0 MPH, 0 INCLINE, SPRINT FOR 1 MINUTE
3.5 MPH, 0 INCLINE, WALK FOR 1 MINUTE
6.0 MPH, 0 INLINCE, SPRINT FOR 1 MINUTE
3.5 MPH, 0 INCLINE, WALK FOR 1 MINUTE
6.0 MPH, 0 INCLINE, SPRINT FOR 1 MINUTE
3.0 MPH, 0 INCLINE, WALK FOR 5 MINUTES FOR A NICE COOL DOWN.
Stretch your arms and relax for your cool down. This workout it more toward the people who have already been working out a little but OR for someone who wants to kick their butt into cardiovascular shape.
BUT PLEASE DO NOT FOLLOW ANY EXERCISE OR DIET ROUTINE UNLESS IT HAS BEEN CLEARED BY A DOCTOR THAT YOU CAN ENGAGE IN THIS KIND OF PHYSICAL ACTIVITY OR WAY OF EATING.
Please feel free to contact me about any questions

but if you feel light headed or dizzy you should definately stop. Like I said DO NOT OVER EXERT YOURSELF. BUT PUSH YOURSELF. That the only way to push yourself up through different fitness levels. I will continue doing this workout 5 days a week. So basically all this week. Next week I will change it a bit and re post.
