Purpose Driven Exercise: I remember Jack Lalanne on the TV when I was young, then Richard Simons and Jane Fonda. The sleek outfits and exercise routines started driving home to American that exercise on a regular basis was something very important to maximize our health. Then technology came, and studies at various universities that validate the need and refined how we can exercise specific purpose in mind. I read a great article on this subject and thought I would offer a summary here. Lower the Risk of Diabetes by 59: workout getting your heart rate up into the target zone, 5 days a week and do strength training 3 times a week. It does not have to be a big fancy routine. Do a vigorous walk followed by three sets of squats, pushups and bicep curls, eight repetitions each. "Eight Minutes In the Morning" is a great strength training guideline. Build Muscle: Lift light weights 2 to 3 non-consecutive days a week, using 3-5 pound weights. Do 3 sets/ 20-25 repetitions of shoulder presses, dumb bell rows, chest press, bicep curls and squats. You can always look on youtube or google the exercise to get the correct form. Lose Pregnancy pounds, post-partum: 3 days a week, cycle through 3 sets of push ups, squats, side lunges.
