Best workout?

I have had a lot of questions regarding different workouts and training programs, and what is the "best" one...  my answer is- it depends!  It depends on you- your goals, your time, your lifestyle, and your preferences!  I don't think that there is one specific type of exercise or training that is right for everyone.  Different people have different goals and different needs.  

Look at your current lifestyle and see what changes need to be made.  Try out different exercise classes and activities- there are so many options in the Ozarks!  I personally love my bootcamp classes- you guys are some amazing clients!  The great exercise combined with lots of laughter :) makes for a great morning!  I also love to run/hike/bike on the local trails.  Try to incorporate strength training (check out this great article on lifting weights & strength training )as well as some type of aerobic exercise (think: dancing, running, biking, etc.) and be diligent about your diet.  No, I'm not saying to try some crazy fad diet- we all know how I feel about those! (I'm not for them in case you didn't know!) Eat healthy, make good choices, lower your intake of bad fats/caffeine/sugar/bad carb choices and replace them with smart choices!  Avoid fast food & soda!  

There are many wonderful blogs and articles about clean eating and being healthy...  just remember, when you feel healthy you will have the energy & will-power to push yourself harder with your workout program- it's a wonderful cycle!  Trust me, when you start eating healthy & then 'fall off the wagon', you will notice it in your next workout...  been there - done that - and it's no fun!

Have a great Wednesday!
