DEL.ICIO.USPost Holiday Workouts
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
What keeps you motivated to exercise? How do you jump-start after a Holiday?
Independence Day is over and there’s just one major holiday left. Many will fall off the wagon for the rest of the year. All of that hard work yet, many are already slacking off. By Labor Days end, many workouts will have been abandonded.
What do you do to keep yourself motivated? How do you get started again after a few days of fun, festivities and overindulgence? Here are some questions that may give someone else the motivation they need to keep it going.
Which exercises have you tried in order to maintain interest in your workout programs and which did you find most effective.
What kind of music makes you want to work hardest?
What type of exercise would you be most willing to try for the first time?
Do you cross train? If you do, what exercises do you use?
Do you eat before, after or before and after exercise?
Which magazines do you find most informative?
Do you keep an exercise log or eating journal?
What types of exercise facilities do you prefer to workout in?
Do you workout better with a buddy or alone?
Cardio, Strength training, Yoga or Pilate’s. Which get your endorphins going?

Hi,
I work out religiously 5 days a week and have been participating in a daily fitness bootcamp for the last 6 weeks. While I’ve definitely noticed a significant amount of toning, the one area I really need it in is my love handles and I still have the nasty rolls. What is the best exercise to get rid of this excess fat?

No such thing as a spot reducing exercise. To accomplish significant ‘fat loss’ without sacrificing muscle loss, you must eat the fat away. You might consider enlisting the help of a nutritionist. In the meantime go to www.mealmatter.org for additional insight.
