Motivational Workout Poster: Take The Stairs

Posted on February 20, 2014

That’s why we’ve made this poster to encourage you to add a little calorie burn the next time you’re met with a choice between stairs and the escalator (or elevator). Need even more motivation? Just one minute of walking up stairs will burn five calories double if you decide to hustle. Either way, you’ll be adding to the day’s calorie burn while sculpting your lower body.

Music: Your best workout buddy

The music becomes your North Star it guides you. It also distracts you something many of us have relied on during a long treadmill workout. Cedric Bryant, chief science officer for the American Council on Exercise , says this is the aspect of music that resonates the most with him. I enjoy using music as a distraction, he says, adding that music can keep you going no matter how tired you are. Distraction, whether it be music or even a comedy show, can be helpful in a workout at least in the beginning, Foster says. Thats where the importance of the beat and arousal come in.

Rays notes: First workout will have familiar feel this year

Price skips bullpen LHP p90X3 results David Price did not throw his scheduled bullpen session Wednesday. Pitching coach Jim Hickey gave the pitchers the option of skipping one of their first three sessions this camp, and Price chose not to throw his third one. I’m getting wise, Price said. Price did throw his daily long-toss Wednesday.

Weekend-Proof Your Workout Plan

The best part of working out on the weekend: You have more time (hopefully!). Take advantage of your open schedule by trying something new or going somewhere different for your usual workouts. Whether it’s a new group fitness class, running at a new park or even joining a game of softball with some pals from work, trying something new can work your muscles and brain in new ways thereby helping to prevent boredom and those dreaded plateaus . You may even find a new activity that you love or make some new friends who also like to get active on the weekends.
