Aerobic Progression - How a Beginner Can Go From Walking to Running!

Everybody talks about starting up a workout and exercise program, but most beginners don't even know where to start? If you absolutely have no clue the easiest thing to remember is that doing something is always better than doing nothing!

In all of my years of training people I have come to discover that many of them kickoff their exercise programs much in the same way. A lot of people that just start out end up taking a nice stroll around the block or at the local park. This is a great way to begin. However, the question of where to go next is always the following concern for many. For the sake of this article I'm not going to discuss the resistance training element, but the same questions arise there also. So if you decide to take a nice evening walk and can only make it halfway around the block today this can be your measuring stick.

In other words, today you made it half the distance so next week shoot for completing the whole distance. Eventually walking 2 or 3 times around the block might get a bit time consuming so the next step to progression is to ease into a light jog. You may not be able to complete the same distance that you walk when progressing into the run because you have intensified your work. Intensifying your workout is always the next step. If you are walking then jogging should be the next logical step. If you are jogging then running should be the next logical step. You understand where I am going.

The point is that you get yourself going doing something. The physical benefits of exercise all seed positive results from using your body. No matter your program always ask yourself how you can intensify it and move on from there.

Interval Training - An Intense Way to Build Serious Fitness and Top-Notch Endurance!

You are probably wondering how in the world you can squeeze a butt-kicking workout in on your lunch hour and still have enough time to inhale that sandwich before returning to the office. Well this article will cover the concept of interval training which will give you a plan that will combine both aspects of cardiovascular conditioning and resistance training in one BIG BODY BLASTING workout!

To start, the concept of interval training is something that is generally used by runners. The definition of interval training is to engage in high intensity exercise immediately followed by a lower-intensity type of activity (or actual interval). Even though this particular model of activity has been generally associated with runners, I'm going to refer to it so you can modify it to fit into your resistance training program. There are many ways that you can structure this model to fit into your personal program. You can alternate your resistance training exercise with each interval that you do. For instance, you can do a set of push-ups and then engage in 2 minutes of jump-rope. You can also alter it again to get all of your sets of push-ups completed and then do your 2 minute intervals of jump-rope. Another way is to super-set a couple of resistance training movements an then do the interval. All of these variations work and produce tremendous results.

Remember that the bottom line is to intensify what you are doing since there is a sacrifice in your time. You want to be able to hit a great workout and shovel down your lunch before running the risk of getting back to work late to find out that the boss has shoveled your job!
