Day 9: Interval Training

Source

It is always good to add interval training into your workout routine. It is actually a must if you aim to be toned and have a nicer looking body. It is very good for people who are busy as a half an hour interval training can actually give you more benefits than a 2 hours gym session. Not only does it allow you to have an efficient workout using a shorter time, it actually allows you to burn more fats and calories. Also, by pushing your heart towards the anaerobic situation, the heart can be strengthen as well. 

This is my version of my interval training:

1. Warm up run from home to running track. 
2. Sprint 100m, Jog 100m, Sprint 100m, Jog 100m
3. Do 2. for 3 times
4. 12 x standard push up (arms tucked in)
5. 12 x push up (arms out)
6. 20 x crunches (feet flat on the ground, upper body come halfway up)
7. 20 x side crunches on each side (both legs to one side with one of the hip off the ground. upper body come halfway up)
8. Repeat 2 - 7 for another 2 more times.
9. Cool down run home. Stretch

Day 5: Core toning

Source

What is sexier then toned and flat abs? To achieve this, the core area must be strengthened. The core area not only includes the tummy area as many people may think so. The core area actually includes the waist, stomach, hips, butt and the thighs. 

Like most of the Asian females, I am also much more bulkier around my core area especially my thighs which make it very difficult for me to find good fitting jeans. Whenever the thighs fit nicely, the waist area will be too loose. Therefore, I started to look for ways to tone my core and I found this video on Fitsugar which teaches a few exercises to tone and strengthen the core area.

I will try to do a few of these exercises everyday. Do join me in doing this exercises become more fit and toned.

Bye!
