10 Minute Workout with Exercise Bands

This month I chose 4 exercises that are complex in nature, as I usually do, to maximize your opportunity to burn more Calories in less time.  Complex does not mean complicated.  In layman’s terms it describes a movement that requires several groups of muscles to work at the same time.

This months exercises for the 10 Minute Whole Body Workout:

1. Standing Chest Press

Hate to stretch? Try Massage.

Who really likes to stretch anyway?  Ok maybe if you are a faithful yoga or pilates junkie you atleast like the way it feels after the class is over.

<-<- What the #@*^! are those?  I”ll explain.

For most people reading this blog, trying to workout at home is a task not easily achieved on a consitent basis.  What is to be skipped over from most in home workouts?  Stretching.

How beneficial is it any how?  Which type of stretching works the best anyway?

What if you could get even MORE benefit from deep tissue massage?  Yeah but who can afford that on a consistent basis?  If you can shell out less than $17 to $25 (depending on the size) you can work on your flexibility and make a more profound impact on how your muscle responds to to your workouts.

 A Foam Roller does the trick.

Let me explain it to you this way:

When you stretch in traditional ways it is like pulling on a wrinkled T-shirt and expecting it to stay “unwrinkled”.  When you use a foam roller, for what is called myofascial release, it is like ironing that wrinkled T-shirt.  Myo (muscle) and facsia (connective tissue) are both affected allowing for better recovery from workouts, less stiffness and soreness and ultimately better workout performance – allowing you to stay clear from injury and reach your goals faster!

You can find foam rollers where I have trusted and purchased all of my in home exercise equipment by visiting my friends at Perform Better.

Happy Rolling!
