HEALTH & FITNESS | WORKOUTS

Gearin' up to chase some rainbows? Prep with this interval workout!

 
Whether or not you’re running in your town’s St. Patty’s Day race, or actually plan on chasing around mischievous Irish mischief-makers in search of a pot of gold this weekend, it’s time to boost up your cardio.
 
Interval training is a mixture of fast, high-intensity activity and slower, low intensity recovery times that are sure to get your heart pumping. It burns tons of calories and has been proven to improve your endurance even more than just straight out running. Not to mention you only need half the time as you would if you were just planning on jogging. And we could all use a little extra time to, I don’t know, study, hang out with friends, sleep? So bring your watch next time you go for a run and try out this basic interval workout:
 

1 minute walk

1 minute hard sprint

2 minute light jog

Repeat 4 times
 

Don’t be afraid to alter the time to fit your body. As it gets easier, increase the time of the fast sprint and reduce the time for the recovery time (walk) for a tougher workout.

My crush has beautiful abs and I would love to get them like he has but my friends have told be I wont no matter how much I work out because we dont have as lean of muscles as guys have. Is that true? I would love to get where we are comparing abs with each other and working out together. That just seems romantic to me.

Hey girlie,

Your body is different from your crush's, so I wouldn't compare your body to his since guys and girls are different. But if you want to work out together, that could be great motivation to stay healthy and exercise and both build muscle!

Most days during the week I work out for 30-45 minutes in the morning (mostly toning) and I go to swim practice in the evening. I get really sweaty after working out in the morning so I want to take a shower then, but after swim practice I want to take chlorine off my hair and skin so I also need to take a shower in the evening. Is it a complete crime to shower twice a day? There isn't a way that I could exercise all at the same time every day. If I could take a shower twice, what are some tips that would keep my hair and skin from getting damaged?

 

Hey RowanK, taking two showers a day is fine. Would a swimming cap protect your hair from the chlorine? Try wearing one of those. Hope this helps! Xoxo Smile

I am on crutches bc i have tendonitis in my right ankle- any exercises i can do to make it better by tuesday? Im taking pain relievers, icing it and putting it up and resting it. Any ideas?

 

Hey YayaYuiki, it may be better that you are resting it. That way your ankle can build its strength back up. Hope ya feel better! Xoxo Smile

If I go on a strict diet and commit to a 30 minutes of cardio a day, will I be able to lose 40 pounds in 12 weeks?

 

 

 

Hey Girl, It's important to remember that weight isn't a great indicator of your health. That being said, exercising everyday and eating well is the best way to lead a healthy lifestyle and I would definitely encourage you to to commit to 30 minutes of cardio a day. It's a really awesome goal to set for yourself that will definitely help you now and later in life.

Put your fave tune on while you’re working out. Research has proven that listening to music improves productivity during exercise.
