working out while on the run


Scott Schwab

To all of those out there who truly have little time to work out or are limited by a place to work out. I have been traveling for the last week and was not in a position to have a consistent workout. So what I did was go back to a series of workouts that I did when a gym was not readily available. I decided to get out and enjoy the warm weather and go for a jog. It was very refreshing and gave an element to the regiment that was a nice change. Here is what I propose for those road warriors or those that just cannot make it to the gym. One thing is certain though, it must be a priority for you. I also recommend a morning routine due to the days list of things to do that pile up until you are in the next day's list of things to do. Set aside a half an hour and get out for a brisk walk, or a jog, but most importantly follow it up with some body training. I love series of push-ups, sit ups, and even pull-ups when available. I switch from doing normal push ups to push ups with hands close together, far apart, and triangle push ups. See really hand positioning works the body in different ways. Experiment with what works best and then repeat it 3 or 4 reps. It is not enough to pound out 1 set of something and think we are done. Push the body to its limits. The body is so amazing that the natural bar is raised everyday by a body that craves the attention. It is true and a great idea to let your body be your guide, but let us remember, the complexities of our make up, desire energy. For us to get energy we must expend energy. For us to grow, we must stretch and push ourselves to our limits. So regardless of the schedules we have, make the time to do something. You will feel better, have more energy, and get results. RESULTS are based on consistency.
