HEALTH & FITNESS | GET FIT FAST

A speedy workout you can do anywhere!


 
Forget trendy classes at the gym. The latest buzz in fitness news is the fab benefits of calisthenics, aka, workouts you can do with your own body weight. The New York Times recently posted an article highlighted how much you can do, without stepping foot into a gym.

The article reported that with calisthenics you’re able to have a quick and effective workout wherever you are, and all you need is…yourself! A lot of the time, simple fitness moves like jumping jacks, push-ups and squats are overlooked. In reality, these moves will tone your entire body. Jumping jacks may seem simplistic and sooo elementary school gym class, but they will help you get toned. Pay attention to your form when you’re performing them and you’ll get your heart rate up.

The best part? These moves are totally portable, and only take a few minutes. If you’re on vacation and there isn’t a treadmill in sight, these quick pick-me-ups are a great workout (plus they won’t cut too much into your beach time).  As you get more advanced at these moves, try doing more reps with less rest. This will bring your heart rate up and keep it there for the entire time, making this a super effective workout!

Hey girl. The best way to lose weight is to see your doctor. You need to be careful about any weight loss plan at such a young age. Here are some GL approved workouts:

Is there an easy way to get thinner thighs? I think my thighs right now are fatFrownHElp!!




Hey girl, we're all insecure about one part or another of our bodies. I would say your thighs are fine and are part of what makes you beautiful and uniquely you. I'd focus instead on finding things you love about yourself and just taking care of your bod as it grows: eat healthy and exercise regularly. That's the key to looking your best and feeling it too!

For correct jumping jacks form, make sure that your get your hands way over the top of your head so that the back sides of your hands almost touch, palms facing out. This will help with your form. Don't push your arms too much, just try to bring above head level and possibly more if you can Smile it really helps and you will feel the difference in the workout and stretch that jumping jacks now give you! Good luck! Laughing

For a better night’s sleep, try doing some yoga stretches before bed to help relax your body and release any built up stress from the day.
