Top 10 exercises :)

Being the gym freak that I am, I’m obviously going to have my favorite exercises. I can be anywhere and I can still get a great workout. Now there isn’t a specific workout that targets certain areas of your body. You can have different types of workouts for different parts of your body if your goal is to tone up, but obviously if your goal is to lose weight, your best bet is to lose it overall. There’s no such thing as losing a target area (ex: belly fat). Body fat is your whole body, not just one area. People have different “problem areas”, and I know I have mine. But cardio and strength training together, is the best way to accomplish that goal. It all takes time and commitment. Even if you don’t have a gym membership, don’t panic. You can still use your own body weight to have efficient results.




1) Spinning (my ultimate favorite cardio!) – This type of exercise is an aerobic exercise and works out your whole body, while helping you lose weight and toning your thighs, glutes and calves, and strengthening your cardiovascular health, but my advice, don’t do it every day. Try a different cardio workout so you won’t plateau. (BURNS ABOUT 300-800 CALORIES per hour )

2) Running (Hate it!! but it is the # 1 fat blasting exercise) – This exercise works out your WHOLE entire body! It requires a great deal of energy. It also improves your cardiovascular health. (BURNS FROM 100-700 CALORIES depending on the speed and time)

3) Jumping Rope - This is one of the simplest, yet most effective exercises one can do. In just 15 to 20 minutes, jumping rope will give you a total body workout.

4) Lunges (best butt exercise)- This workout is great for your butt and also your legs.

5) Squats ( also great for the butt) – This workout is excellent for your butt

6) Pushups- (chest exercise) – This workout is a very challenging one because it works out your upper body while giving you excellent strength building skills. It works out mainly your chest, shoulders and triceps.

7) Dips (great for the arms) – This workout is essential and the main one for triceps. It also works out your chest and shoulders. It’s a very hard movement but very effective.

8) Biceps curls- This is a bicep workout that has many variations.

9) Shoulder press- This is a shoulder workout that also has variations.

10) Lateral pulls and back extensions – these two are both back exercises that are great for your back. If you don’t have a gym, “superman” is a great variation to the back extension.
