I’ve been spending a lot of time obsessing over whether I’m too much of this and not enough of that or how I have to do this because I couldn’t do that. And this morning I could NOT stop wondering if God is up there thinking “do you know how much you can do? How far you can run? How much weight you can move? How much you can learn?” Far too much work has gone into crafting our bodies and designing our abilities for us to dwell on perceived flaws and limitations and I think I’ll start living life like I believe that truth. So here’s me with the smallest barbell I could find at the rec trying to put some of those abilities into action 🤙🏻 (at WCU Campus Recreation) https://www.instagram.com/p/BojfhWqAsR3O2uM5yBFMPa4JQjcFMdDO9jx2zg0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=yegt7f8g415u

WARNING THIS IS NOT THE SAME AS CATCALLING OR SAYING “HEY SEXY”, ETC.

THAT MAKES YOU A DBAG

Better your best!

Take It To The Gym! The Slim Workout

This is a 6 week cardio plan that you can take to the gym (or do anywhere). All you need is a stopwatch (or timer).

The beauty of this plan is that it leaves you TONS of flexibility: you can follow the intervals with any cardio machine you like (treadmill, elliptical, rower, bike) OR take it outside and run, jog, hike etc. Simply boost or lower the effort you put in to the right level for YOU.

If you’re using a heart rate monitor, find your maximum (220-your age for men, and 226-your age for women), and simply add a percentage point to each of the suggested intensities. (2-3 becomes 20-30% of your maximum heart rate. 5-6 becomes 50-60% of your maximum heart rate, and 7-8 becomes 70-80% of your maximum heart rate).

If you don’t have a monitor, use the ‘talk test’ & the guidelines below and check your breathing. It’s YOUR workout, so while you should push yourself, you can dial things back if need be.

2-3: Easy. You should be able to talk normally, and notice a small boost in heart rate.

5-6: Moderate. You’ll start breathing a little more frequently, and can speak in short sentences. You’ll feel like you’re working, but know that you can push harder.

7: Hard. You’re heart rate is up and you’re pushing yourself. You can speak a few words at a time, but your breathing should be more labored. You won’t want to be speaking very much.

8: Really hard. This is an intensity you only reach and keep up in short intervals. Give it your all (it’s not long). Speaking is very difficult, and breathing is fast. Your heartrate should be WAY up.

Add 2-3 cardio interval workouts like these to your routine each week for 6 weeks, in addition to your resistance workouts. Each workout is only a half hour, and you’ll work up to tougher intensities as you go.

Save a copy of this for your phone/timer! Switch up the machines/exercise you’re using from week to week (or willy nilly) for best results.
