Just Gotta Run



End of the summer season and start of school is coming rapidly, and I've switched my workout routine a bit. Motivation and time have both been problems lately, Going to the gym just isn't as appealing these days.

It's important to keep some focus and realize that an effort and a game plan are better than nothing.



Lower intensity workouts like a slow jog or a brisk walk are still a good fitness tool. You'll have to walk longer to burn the same amount of calories that a short, more intense workout would burn. However, when you are working at a lower intensity, you burn fat for your energy.

Combining a jog or brisk walk with some basic exercises like crunches or push-ups provides additional benefit.
