*The Order in Which You Perform Your Workout
Does Make A Difference*
----------------------------------------
If you walk into just about any gym, you’ll see the majority of people going through a particular routine. They hit the cardio machines or an aerobics class for 30-60 minutes, pouring out sweat and looking exhausted. Then they mosey on over to the weight training area or the nautilus circuit, do a handful of halfhearted sets with light weights, and take off.
Since SO many people do cardio before weights, the average gym-goer simply copies what he or she sees and does the same.
WHERE DID THIS TREND START, and WHY IS IT STILL BEING PRACTICED SO WIDELY?? I don’t know exactly why people started doing cardio before weight training, but I have a good guess...

*Try Circuit Training for a Quick Cardio AND
Weight Training Blast*
----------------------------------------
Circuit training can be a powerful form of exercise, but to be most effective, it must adhere to the proven principles for fitness results.
Have you ever wished you could enjoy the benefits of cardiovascular exercise and resistance training all in the same workout? You can, but I suggest avoiding the "body toning" or "muscle shaping" group aerobics classes if you want the best results. Click here to learn where the muscle-toning classes go wrong.

*“THANK YOU GINA for making me
believe I can succeed at this!"*

Carol Jacobs is no stranger to diet and exercise--she has been involved in various programs over the years to keep in shape. Weight has always been a struggle for Carol. She works out with Gina three times per week now, but before working with Gina she had attempted to get in shape at 'Workout World' in Waltham, but was not thrilled with the service.

"I know firsthand the impact that being out of shape can have on a person’s self-esteem," says Rhonda Grigas, Certified Personal Trainer. "I have a large body frame, and after gradually gaining weight throughout my 20s and having a child at the age of 30, I weighed over 200 pounds. I started going to the gym and was fortunate enough to find a personal trainer who helped me develop an effective and reasonable fitness program. Within one year, a combination of weight lifting, cardiovascular exercise and changes in my eating habits helped me lose 40 pounds. And the best part is that I have maintained this weight and fitness level for the last 10 years." Click here to learn why Rhonda quit her job after she lost the weight.
Quick Tip:
Sit down on Sunday night and plan out when you will fit in your workouts for the following week. Even create a “makeup” day in case something comes up that causes you to miss a session. If you DO make all your sessions, reward yourself by resting or doing something fun on that day!
News Flash:
Most Effective Cardio May Not Be What You Think
The effectiveness of a cardio workout is largely dependent on the distance traveled and the intensity of the effort.
Therefore, the longer you perform cardio and the harder you work, generally the better results you get.
I recommend finding the cardio activity or activities you enjoy the most, and performing them for the majority of your cardio exercise. You’re much more likely to work harder and longer, and will also enjoy your exercise time more so that you’ll be more likely to stick with it.
If you find yourself reaching a plateau, you may need to start mixing up your activity more. If not, keep it up and enjoy!
