Work out tips



This video is presented by my colleague Chris Kornacki, Personal Training Manager and Trainer at Totum Life Science. I wanted to share his healthy work out tips for you because not only is it informative, it is short, easy to understand and straight to the point!

A few work out tips I'd like to add is the following:

1. Find an activity you love to do!

Why? You're more likely to stick with your exercise program if you love what you are doing!

2. Exercise with a buddy!

Why? Having someone to exercise with enhances your accountability. Who wants to let a friend down when you've committed to exercising with them?

3. Set realistic goals.

For example, if you haven't exercised all summer, rather than jumping right into a 3-5 day exercise routine, start with two or three 20-30 minute work outs for 4 weeks.

Why? Exercising for 60 minutes straight can be daunting to many people. Let alone exercising up to 5 times a week! But if you break it down to a more realistic time frame such as 20-3ominutes training sessions, there is less of a time commitment and therefore, you are more than likely to exercise.

I hope these tips are helpful and will encourage you to get active and stay active!


Stay active and anything is possible!
