SUPREME FITNESS TIP OF THE WEEK:
The 7-Minute Workout
If you’ve ever promised yourself
that you would get back in shape just as soon as you could find the time, then
the 7-Minute Workout may be for you. It’s a short, rapid-fire series of
exercises that use your own body weight.
There are 12 exercises. Each should take 30 seconds, with a 10-second "break". You
really get maximum benefit from repeating the circuit at least three times. The order of exercises does matter: You should alternate working opposing muscle groups, and follow exercises that crank your heart rate up with those that cool it down a bit.
Check with your doctor before taking on any new exercise routine, to make sure it is right for you.!!!
If you’re new to exercise, or it’s been a while, it’s a good idea to get a gym instructor or other fitness pro to help you with proper form.
Start with something you learned in
elementary school:
Jumping jacks
Stand up with your legs spread and your hands
touching overhead. Then as you jump, bring your legs back together and put your
arms to your sides. You can speed these up or slow them down to suit your
fitness level. Do this for 30 seconds, take a 10-second break, and go right to
the next move.
Wall Sits
Stand with your back to a wall, feet
hip-width apart and slightly in front of you. Lean back into the wall, and
slide down like you’re sitting down into a chair. Your knees should finish
above your ankles, bent at 90 degrees. Hold this position for 30 seconds.
Push-Ups
Get into a "plank"
position on the floor or mat, feet together with toes tucked under, hands
planted flat below your shoulders. Slowly bend your elbows and lower your body
toward the floor, as far down as you can go keeping back and hips level. Then press
back up and repeat for 30 seconds. You can make this easier by resting your
weight on your knees instead of your feet. To boost intensity, try resting your
feet on a low bench or step instead of the floor.
