Always Be Ready To Work Out!

Friday, October 13, 2006

As a professional athlete, competing and working out are always in the forefront of your mind. The rest of us have 25 million other things to think about, which means that we need to make exercising as convenient as possible.

I joined a gym close to home, and being able to drive, run or cycle there has proven effective in keeping me on a consistent schedule, regardless of the weather. For added motivation, I always keep a clean set of workout clothes in my car so I can head to the gym or the local park on a whim. (After all, if you don't go home first, you won't find excuses to stay home.)

I also keep a stash of fitness gadgets in my closet, including a medicine ball, workout bands and a stability ball. These let me exercise my entire body and, because they're so different from what I usually do at the gym, I generally look forward to using them again. Plus, most of these items travel well, which allows me to work out when I'm on the road. The Total Body Work session teaches you to utilize hand weights, bar and medicine ball in a mindful and convenient way.
