The Workout Manual

It's time to fine tune your workouts. Here are 3 tips to get better results from your workouts. Changing your routine every two weeks will definitely give you the best results.


Get the most from your cardio workout. I would recommend one form of cardio daily, even if it is a brief run.


Still having trouble getting motivated to go to the gym or exercise? Perhaps you should develop these habits.


You need to get at least 120 minutes of exercise a week to reap a lifetime of benefits. The key to exercise is movement. Strive for 10000 steps a day at the very least.


We all have been in an exercise rut from time to time. The important thing is to climb out of that rut and get back into an exercise routine.


Pressed for time? Workout in 15 minutes.


There comes a time to categorize your workouts. Let me explain what I am talking about. Are you targeting weight loss, muscle building, endurance, strength, etc.? At my age it is all about maintenance. I've arrived as far as I'll go. I'm at maintaining what I got. My routine is mostly strength and core strength.


If you want to lose weight quickly, try these exercises, that can also work the strength, endurance and core.

Health Week Tips-Day 6

It might come as a shock to some, but organic foods may be misleading. If given a choice, Don't Eat Out! There is no real healthy foods out there, even if they are healthy foods. Get a sort of idea on how to make healthy choices in restaurants. It can't be done. Even when I went to this nutrition calculator the choices I made were always high in sodium.

Another shocker is that those who eat at McDonald's couldn't care less about nutrition.

The sweet potato is a super food that supplies antioxidants and energy, and is no light weight when it comes to benefits. Not a real potato, the sweet potato is related to the morning glory family.

Feeling tired and fatigued? It might be a Vitamin B12 deficiency.

Start maximizing your cardio to burn calories. Here are some cardio exercises. Here are more.

Start climbing! Hills, stairs and inclines build stamina and give a heck of an aerobic exercise.

A basic home gym necessity is a dumbbell. Learn how to get a total full body workout!
