It's Fall!  Is it time to change your routine?  Here are some tips....

*If you have been focusing your resistance training on muscular strength, try changing to muscular endurance for 1 to 2 months and then switch back

*Muscular strength:            8 to 12 reps/set, heavier weights

*Muscular endurance:    12-15 or 20 reps/set, lighter weights

*Have you been doing the same cardio all summer? (Running, cycling, etc.)  Try a sports conditioning or cardio kickboxing class to change up that routine!

*Try some Pilates orYoga classes - give it a commitment of at least 5 classes to notice some changes in your strength and flexibility.  You may be surprised - learning a few new things can really jumpstart your program!

Featured Move - with Linda Freeman

Squat with Overhead Lift
(add 3 sets of 10-20 reps to your routine):

Set up:  Stand with feet hip width apart (approximately 6 inches).  Perform a squat, allowing hips to move back as your flex (bend) at the knees and at the hips.  [Imagine beginning to sit down in a chair but stopping just before you sit.]  Hold in the squat position; add an overhead lift with both arms, lower the arms, then release the squat back into a standing position.

FOCUS:  While lifiting arms overhead, keep abdominals drawing in, front ribs drawing down and together while keeping the spine in the same position.  If upper back arches and ribs 'pop' forward, you are allowing abdominals to release and are not stabilizing the spine.

ADDED CHALLENGE:  Add medicine ball or weights to overhead lift.

Remember that your body adjusts to loads placed on it, such as your current cardio or strength routine, every 2-3 months. A good rule of thumb is to change your program with the seasons to keep your body guessing and your progess advancing as well as to prevent boredom!
