Healthy Hollywood: Get Movin Monday Get A Gym Body At Home!
First Published: January 23, 2012 5:24 PM EST Credit: Daily Burn Fitness NY, N.Y. -- Caption Lisa Wheeler, Program Director, Daily Burn FitnessStop fighting the treadmill lines and the over-crowded classes; instead create your own gym routine at home. All you need is a little space to move and the desire to improve your health, reveals fitness expert, Lisa Wheeler, who is the program director of DailyBurn Fitness, an online health and fitness destination that delivers personalized workout information. If you can lunge to the front and back and do a side lunge right and left, you have plenty of room to do our workouts. For floor work, all you need is enough room to do a push up, adds Lisa. Plus, theres no need for bulky or pricey training equipment, a lot of the DailyBurn workouts are designed to use your body weight only, or offer accessible alternative props if you dont have a particular piece of equipment. DailyBurn features six personal trainers with diverse fitness philosophies and backgrounds. Each trainer provides various workouts ranging from 10 minutes to one hour. Its like having a personal trainer in the palm of your hand or better still, like having a gym full of elite instructors available to you wherever you are, 24/7, reveals Lisa. Theres no need to rush like a maniac to get to your favorite class or be bummed when the class is filled. Instead, you can workout whenever you feel like and for as long as you want. If you want a total body conditioning that doesnt require equipment, heres an example of a 25 minute routine. 1. Pick 4 exercises that target all the major muscle groups of the body (Alternating Lunges, Push Ups, Alternating Squat Kicks, and a Bear Squat). A DailyBurn instructor will go through each routine and teach correct form. 2. Get a timer and set for one minute repeats. 3. Do 5 reps of each exercise (alternating move count right and left side as 1 rep) as fast as you can with good form and full range of motion within one minute. Any remaining time within that minute is your recovery breathe, drink water, towel off. 4. Repeat the 1 minute bouts for 14 rounds (trust us, by round 8 you will begin to feel the burn!) 5. The entire workout should be about 25 minutes (4 minute warm up and 6 minute cool down and stretch.) DailyBurn also includes nutritional dietary guidance, plus the app tracks your program and changes up your workout routine. And, its only $9.99/month a whole lot cheaper than a gym.
