Don’t Let the Bad Economy Make for a Bad Exercise Plan
Filed Under Exercise · Tagged:
I hope you are not letting the bad economy make for a bad exercise plan. While it is nice, you do not have to join a fancy gym or hire a personal trainer every time you work out to get results.
The American Council on Exercise (ACE), announced that the “overarching theme for fitness in 2009 is getting more bang for the buck.” “Consumers will engage in workouts that provide multiple benefits due to time and economic limitations”, said Chief of Science Officer Cedric X. Bryant, Ph.D.
Check out the first two of ACE’s top-10 list of things to say about fitness in 2009:
1. Boot Camp-Style Workouts: Boot camp workouts remain extremely popular because they provide a total-body workout that’s varied, fun and challenging. Up to 600 calories can be burned during a boot camp session, which is obviously going to facilitate weight loss. But in addition to a great cardiovascular workout, muscles are strengthened through high- and low-intensity exercises such as pushups, squats and lunges. You don’t typically experience significant muscle fitness benefits in other aerobic exercises.
2. Budget-Friendly Workouts: With today’s economy showing no signs of strengthening, more people will cut costs to stay in shape. Of the ACE-certified professionals surveyed, 48 percent said that gym memberships will decrease in 2009 and 52 percent said less people will hire personal trainers. Look for more people to use the resources around them as their gym and equipment.
So why am I telling you all this? Especially the part about less people will hire personal trainers?
Because…
I must be doing the right thing and it’s nice to get validation especially from ACE, America’s leading authority on fitness and one of the largest fitness certification, education and training organizations in the world!
· At my boot camp, you get training from a personal trainer at only $15/session, how budget friendly is that?
· All the benefits of the boot camp-style workout as listed by ACE
· And… an ANNOUNCEMENT (drum-roll please) Now you can get my Women’s In Home Workout e-Book that really delivers fat-blasting results, WITHOUT a gym!
If you don’t live in Dallas and can’t join me for my boot camps, but want to supplement your existing program, especially if your program is (gasp!) non existing… purchase your copy by clicking on the link in this blog under the e-Book picture “Women’s In Home Workout”, just to the right .
Be well,
Lauren
