Well, everyone including myself is starting to go crazy since spring break is nearing. People are eating next to nothing and spending more time in the gym than they do in class. I will exclude myself from that category :) Anyways, due to school work I have had to keep pushing my workouts back. I hit the gym a few nights ago and did some sprints. Even though I hate them, they are a great stress reliever. Tonight I'm actually going in to do a leg workout at my favorite local gym, Five Points. On the docket tonight I have squats, deadlifts, rack chins and curls. Since I started this new plan, I have fewer exercises and harder weight. It makes going to the gym seem that much better because you have less to do. I'm a big believer that you can still have a great workout and get a lot accomplished without sweating like crazy. If you are looking for a good break to get your mind of mid-terms, head to the gym.
Cheers!
I'm like you too! I use exercise as a way to relieve stress. Over break my mom and I tried to do Jillian Michael's 30 day shred....we almost died! It's crazy how you can get in such a great work out and such little time and see the results! Some people are crazy with all the workouts that they do but if you know what you are doing you can accomplish the same results as them a lot simpler!
ReplyDeleteLately, I've been doing muscle endurance exercises. I use lighter weights for more reps, and while I sweat a little, it's not as bad as if I had done a lot of cardio. Also, I really like quick, 30 minute ab routines or yoga and Pilates. I still see results but it's not as crazy as a full hour workout.
