Please tell me three indoor exercises you recommend right now and three outdoor exercises.
Indoor exercises I love are circuit type moves that you go from one to the next without rest. I recommend bench press reps of 10 into squat press of 10 followed by renegade rows. These moves work the entire body and get your heart rate up so that you are doing both strength and conditioning. Outdoors exercise would be more geared toward body weight movements. I would do inchworms with pushups for 10 yards followed by 10 burpees with a jump and plank holds for two rounds.
What are three fun activities that will also have you losing weight?
Hiking, paddle boarding, and lifting weights.
People are so busy and barely have time to get their fitness in. What 15 minute workout can you recommend?
A workout I would recommend to women to do every day for 15 minutes would never be the same. I would have them perform a workout with a heart rate monitor to ensure that they were training above 60% of their maximum heart rate. I would have them do multi-joint movements; such as squats, curls, and press exercises with various other movements. It is important to change the sets and repetitions every day. You never want the body to become too efficient at an activity or your results will slow down.
How do you keep fit?
I keep fit doing strength training, hiking, running, yoga, and paddle boarding. I love to move so there isn’t much I don’t do.
