Fitness Tips

• Increasing the length of your workouts can help you see weight loss results faster.
• Jumping rope intensely for 10 minutes has about the same calorie burn as jogging for 30 minutes.
• Walking uphill tones your leg and butt, and burns more calories than walking on a flat surface.
• Do at least 20 minutes of cardio four times a week. It will elevate the heart rate for 2-4 hours afterwards.
• Cardio exercise strengthens your heart and burns calories.
• Resistance exercise increases muscle, boosts metabolism and changes your shape.
• Stretching reduces the risk of injury and helps keep your muscles supple and joints stable.
• Strong chest muscles are the key to good posture, keeping your upper half looking fit for swimsuit season.
• Don't just do crunches - The best abs workouts have strength moves and torso-toning cardio.
• Keep yourself motivated by leaving that new bikini hanging up in plain view.
• Changing up your workout routine every 4-6 weeks is the best way to prevent a weight loss plateau.
• Strength training helps you build lean muscle, which helps boost your metabolism.
