  I am starting a new session of boot camp and I have had a few new clients with the start of the new school year, the school year is a slightly smaller version of New Years. With new clients, new groups, new fun I have also taken a step back into some of the basics. Today I am going to share 5 of my favorite general fitness tips. These are going to be exercise geared tips, next week I will talk some general dietary tips.

1. Move your body every days of the week. Notice I didn't say exercise every day of the week. We should exercise more days than not, but that doesn't mean on the "off" days that we sit in front of the t.v. all day. Instead you should still stretch, walk, play with your kids, etc.

2. Schedule exercise like an appointment.  Along that same note, get it done in the morning. It will be easier to keep that "appointment" if there isn't a bunch of other stuff to get in the way of it. It is also a fantastic way to start the day!

3. Don't skip out on the muscle building activities. I like to run, and if I have to pick something when time is limited I generally lean towards running. But I know my body looks, feels, and functions better when I am also getting the resistance work in.

4. Ramp it up slowly. Just because you ran marathons pre-kids doesn't mean you should head out on a 10 mile run today. And just because you used to squat a house doesn't mean you should try that today. Instead run a mile or two and slowly add a bit each week. And maybe just start with squating a tent.

5. Circuit train. Circuit training mixes in weights and cardio. It is a great way to get a lot done with limited time. You have to keep moving and keep your heart rate revved. It is also a great way to throw in cross training. If you tend to stick to the bike, running, or other grab some weights and some new movements.

Remember, these are just general tips but they are important whether you are a beginner or an expert you need to be smart.

Happy Fit Friday!! See you next week. :) 

Much Love and Peace~ Nichole and Ruthie
