Exercise Mix

If you find yourself full of exer-sighs, not knowing what’s best for you, here’s something to think about while you’re scratching your head. According to The World Book Encyclopedia, including your smiling face muscles, you have 600 major muscles inside your body. Since they’re all connected, you’ve gotta get these muscles moving from bottom to top. For a job this size you need a weekly mix of aerobics, anerobics and ab work. Now - what does that mean exactly?

Aerobic exercise is continuous motion that makes you breathe harder and speeds your heart beat.
Anerobic exercise involves intervals of intense exertion and rest.
Ab work strengthens the core muscles surrounding you’re torso, giving you a center of power.

So you need to mix it all up. If you’re only about Pilates or yoga, switch it up and sweat at least once a week. If you’re a biker or runner or hiker, get out the weights and give your upper body a push. .... and, yes, we all need core strength. A strong core will power boost both your upper and lower body and help avoid injury... soooooo you need to start twisting and working those middle muscles for added strength everywhere, no matter what else you’re doing!!!!!!!.

Give your 600 majors a moving mix and you’ll be proudly flexing big time into your nineties!!!!!!!!!!
