Some days we wake up and don’t know what kind of workout to do. Here’s a quick list of choices based on how we happen to feel:
1. Grumpy. Maybe that’s just me first thing in the morning? Maybe not. Anyway, if grumpy, choose cardio. It really shifts mood a lot.
2. Tired. Another good time to choose cardio for its energy-boosting effects.
3. Sore and tired. This is the time to get gentle with ourselves. Some yoga or simple Pilates or a less-intense walk would all be good choices.
4. Bored. This is the moment to kick things up a notch. Choose heavy weights or more high intensity intervals. Nothing beats boredom like lots of sweat!
5. Fat. This one requires a two-pronged approach. First, we work out our minds by reminding ourselves that we are valuable humans no matter what we look like or weigh. Then we hit the weight room to increase our lean muscle mass, burn calories, and boost our metabolisms.
6. Stiff. We need a little cardio to get the joints to wake up and then some yoga or other stretchy exercise.
What did I forget?
