New Year’s Resolutions It’s 2015 and we all have made our New Year’s resolutions. Are you joining a gym, giving up a bad habit or just trying to lose those extra few pounds you gained during the holidays? The key to being successful in reaching any goal is to keep it simple.
If you’re setting up a workout routine start slowly. Try to workout out three times a week with a day off in between. Use light weights for the first few weeks before you start to push yourself. You’ll be sore for a few days when you start but that’s a good sign. It means that your body is starting to respond to your efforts. Be sure to include cardio into your workout. Start with fifteen minutes and add additional time each session until you’ve reached forty five minutes. It will take about twenty minutes of cardio before you start to burn body fat.
