ACE Says Fitness Trend - Fast & Cheap

American Council on Exercise (ACE) Says Time- and Cost-Conscious Workouts Are Among the Most Popular Fitness Trends in 2010

It is a hectic time of year. Looking forward or back your bound to see a holiday. By necessity you may be keeping your workouts on the quick and cheap.

According to the American Council on Exercise (ACE), you may just be starting the 2010 fitness trend early.

So in the tradition of making your nude self hotter lets see if I can come up with a few tips to keep you going with fast & cheap workouts:

Fast

• HIIT - high intensity interval training - Not only is this known to be extremely effective in exercise programming, it is also more effective in less time.
• Circuit - Use a circuit program in conjunction with your hiit program. Mix the cardio low intensity intervals in between some high intensity resistance exercises. You'll effect both your muscular strength/endurance along with cardio benefit with short overall duration.
• Diet - The greatest factor in meeting your fitness goal (especially weight loss) is what and how much you eat. Control your diet and you will much more quickly meet goals.
  
• Small bouts - A few 10 minute bouts are often recommended for sedentary and obese clients as they build up their exercise capacity, but this same tactic can be utilized if you are finding it difficult to block out a full 30-60 minute period for your exercise program.

Cheap

• We like group play - One on one personal training can be very expensive. Join together with a friend and you will not only reduce costs but also increase the likelihood that you will stick with the program.
• Do it in your home - Skip the gym membership and purchase just a few pieces of equipment for less than $200 for a full body resistance program.... Hell, use your body weight only and go even cheaper. A professional trainer should be able to give you a full body, body weight only workout, no problem.
  
• Do it in the park - Take a look in your community for a fitness camp to join. Less expensive, no gym cost, benefit of working in groups, and a newer fast growing segment of the fitness industry.
• Go online - All fitness programs need to at least be tweaked every 4-6 weeks if fitness gains are to continue to be realized. With online training/coaching you can save the expense of meeting with a trainer on a regular basis and yet enjoy the benefit of professional adjustment and support for your exercise program.
