Fit Friday with Nichole

My number one answer to workout questions is "However you can get it done." Any way you choose to workout it is better than sitting on the couch. I have learned that there are some personalities that simply won't do things they don't like. 

If this is a highly focused individual and they can honestly say that they will get done whatever needs to get done we will then move to goals. Endurance athletes tend to have the majority of their workouts with high reps and lower weight (15-20 reps at 50-60 percent of your 1RM) and body builders or strength athletes will focus on lower reps and higher weight (8-12 reps of 65-75 percent of their 1RM). 

Am I telling you all of this to confuse you? No, I promise. A lot of the Fit Friday workouts are focused on endurance style, but it is important to also focus on your strength sometimes. I really prefer to mix it up a bit for my chaotic brain. This week we are focusing on a strength workout and I will start to add more of these into the mix. 

Focus on solid movements. Pick a weight that is challenging yet doable.
