VIDEO : ETX trainer offers women workout tips for weight loss
As it turns out, one of the hardest parts about working out for just about everyone is finding the motivation to go do it.
I spent a little time with a personal trainer yesterday, and she tells every client she sees the same thing when they first start working out and working on their weight.
“You just have to start somewhere. Just that first initial step is the biggest goal. I mean, most people, or most women, don’t feel like they’ll ever reach their goals,” said Samantha Ivy, a personal trainer at Premier Fitness in Tyler. “Once you see that you can do it, or you start seeing some type of results, it pushes you even further.”
Ivy recommends women start with a mild interval training workout that lasts only 20 to 30 minutes at a time.
“You can do interval training with walks, jogging, jump rope, anything, just to where you’re raising your heart rate for, let’s say for instance, 30 seconds, and walking for a minute. Speed walk for 30 seconds, walk for a minute,” Ivy said.
Ivy says interval training has one specific benefit.
“You’re going to lose weight a whole lot faster. Your endurance is going to build a lot quicker versus just walking for a steady 30 minutes to an hour,” she said.
