What the gym doesn't tell you...GOOGLE IT..

It's amazing how people that go to the gym depend on fitness trainers/personal trainers/aerobics instructors to tell them what to do. Just like any other structure, gyms are built for profit making.Everyone wants something out of you, so you end up paying for a gym membership that you hardly use or do 2 sessions a week..Is it really worth it to pay that much money and you hardly use the services?




At some point in your life you will

need to gym for one reason or the other: either the doctor's orders;the need to  get fit and healthy,or just to look good. With the internet at your disposal you can get any information you need on how to be healthy, what to eat, how to train e.t.c. You will need to use your own discretion as to what information to process as there are many fads out there..

How funny is it when I see people advertising on Facebook or some social media :How Beyonce lost 100 pounds after her baby?? 
The only way or the only time I will look at such ads will be NEVER,.First question I ask would be is this person Beyonce's publicist or trainer?? If yes why is she/he  targeting this kind of readership? Shouldn't Beyonce be writing a book about how she lost weight after her baby and get royalties for that? Seriously who would fall for such advertising. People open your eyes, no one will help you lose weight unless you get to it and get serious about finding proper information on how to.

PSST: Now this is what the gym doesn't tell you. You do not need to spend hours huffing and puffing in the gym. You need to train smart and eat healthy. Have you ever heard about interval training? If no, do yourself a favour and Google it. All you need is 20 mins in the gym. You can do this type of training on the treadmill, on the bike, on the stepper or in the aerobics studio. This kind of training needs focus and timing. On this post I will mainly focus on doing this workout at home or using an aerobic studio. The only gym apparatus you will need here is a step. If you do not have one use any type of elevation in your house, i.e a staircase or something like that. 

You will need to warm up for three minutes. Running /jumping jacks/punches/straddling or whatever you want. Just make sure you do a full 3 minute warm-up.Then at your top speed run up and down the step/one step on the staircase..this will be 30 seconds. After that to keep your heart racing do scissors jacks on the step for 30 seconds. Jumping jacks for 30 seconds. The next one will be a jump squat where you jump on the step onto a squat and do 2 squats then jump back down onto the floor with 2 more squats,this is done with legs wide apart, then to cool off march for 30 seconds. This is called a set. You will need to do 10 sets with 30 seconds for each exercise to get optimum results. (FULL WORKOUT)

NB: Remember its called interval training for you to take intervals at a given point. This workout works with your heart rate so a need to concentrate on that is imperative. You need to push your heart rate for the first 2 exercises which will be 30 seconds each and then as you do the last 2 exercises which are a bit slower,this will drop your heart rate. Also remember to rest if this gets too much for you.  I am so amped up to read about what the results are as you guys embark on this  fitness journey, remember what you don't know you can always GOOGLE it...

I will post a conditioning INTERVAL WORK OUT soon. Happy working out and please go rant and rave about your newly found way to cheat the gym with optimum results.
