Tired of the treadmill? Can't take another rep on the military-press machine? Ditch them!
You don't have to go the traditional gym route to get in shape. Just ask Grammy-winner Pink. With her, it's all about variety and avoiding stale gym workouts.
My team at Holistic Fitness and I have been working with Pink to get her in peak shape for her world tour this fall. That doesn't mean you'll find her spinning her wheels endlessly on a stationary bike.
Instead, Pink's workouts are a mix of kickboxing, yoga and Pilates that is fun, challenging and constantly changing.
To keep her fitness regimen fresh, we take an unconventional path. Kickboxing, for instance, is usually done outside. And sometimes she'll use three-pound dumbbells for an added challenge that helps burn fat and tone the shoulders at the same time.
Even when she's training five days a week, we make fitness fun for her by always being positive and upbeat. We're serious about exercise, but not in a bootcamp-drill-sergeant kind of way.
For Pink, the goal was to get her in shape without boring her. It's worked well -- she looks amazing.
You can, too. The secret is to find a few activities that you truly like doing. If you enjoy them, you're more likely to stay the course.
