Hi lovelies, another health and fitness post for you all today! If you read my last gym/ fitness routine, you'll know that I love the gym (by gym, I mean my gym at home, as I have cardio machines in my home gym), however simply running on a treadmill or cycling on a stationary bike can not only get boring, but it can also get too easy if it's all you do every single day. By now, I feel like my general fitness is pretty good (nowhere near expert but pretty decent for me!) so I do tend to get used to workouts quite quickly, so while I may be out of breath after 45 minutes on the treadmill at 20 minutes on the bike, it doesn't always feel like a challenge. While these workouts obviously do do me good, they aren't necessarily helping me to get stronger and better, unless I increase timing/ intensity. So, on the days where I'm just not feeling the treadmill, but still want to challenge myself, I tend to turn to workout videos. These videos are almost like having a personal trainer there with you! (Although, I don't think you can beat the real thing and if you are in the market for aLondon Based Personal Trainer绝对要查看正确的道路健身，这是为那些需要更多指导的人开始真正的教练！）

我喜欢在线锻炼视频的内容，是so许多。YouTube上的健身帐户有许多强度各不相同的锻炼视频，因此您可以根据自己的健身水平或那天想成为的挑战。不过，今天，我挑选了一些我目前最喜欢的锻炼视频。我故意将所有这些都保持在不到一个小时的时间，但是如果您喜欢更长的锻炼，则可以进行一些浏览。这些是给我们那些没有大量时间的人，但想适应挑战并在相当短的时间内推动您的锻炼。请记住，这些都适合我和我现在的水平，当我开始发现这些太容易时，我会发现更艰难的水平，但是所有这些都是关于您的努力，最大的努力=最大的结果呢如果太容易了，那么您的工作就不够努力！

Fitness Blender has to be one of my favourite fitness accounts on Youtube, infact probably my all time favourite. The routines are fun, easy to follow and straight to the point. Most of their workouts use absolutely no equipment, so I used to do these all the time before I had any cardio equipment or access to the gym. Now I try to do a couple a week to mix up my workout routine. This one in particular is a great one to start out with, it's a fairly simple fat burning cardio routine. It's 37 minutes, but it is fairly intense, however just how intense depends on how hard you want to work!

我喜欢健身搅拌器的另​​一件事是，每一步都在屏幕的角落都有一个清晰的计时器，而粗糙的卡路里燃烧也位于底角。这样，您可以真正跟踪自己的位置。该视频包括一般有氧运动和ABS锻炼。因为我从来没有真正hadto work my abs, as I naturally have a flat stomach, I've been a bit lazy with ab workouts in the past. This means despite the fact I have a flat stomach, I have almost no strength in my core so ab workouts are a杀人！不过，我正在努力增强力量，这种锻炼对我来说是一个很棒的锻炼，因为它足以挑战我，但事后我不像死亡！

I absolutely love pairing this Kickboxing Workout with the Millie Mackintosh workout above, as it's not quite as draining as the Millie Workout, but it will make you sweat in a fairly short amount of time. As with the other Fitness Blender vids I've shared, this includes a warm up and cool down, preventing injury. This video is great because it works your entire body without the need for any equipment.


Another of my favourite Fitness channels on Youtube is Tone It Up, Karena and Katrina are super gorgeous and so much fun and I find watching ladies who look那good working out super motivating. This video is fairly short, but it's a HIIT workout, meaning it's slightly brutal! Again, this is another one that I'd probably pair with another video (though probably not right after!) or with some light cardio later in the day, but for building stamina, this is perfect. It's been made to be used in your own living room, so all you need to get started is your sofa, no really!

我的Top Tips:
- 如果您正在做简短的视频，请尝试每天至少适合两次，建议您每天至少进行30分钟的有氧运动，或者每周至少进行一般健康5天，因此请确保您'重新击中。这30分钟是多么激烈。
- 在计划执行之前，观看您至少进行一次的视频。练习这些动作并在进行锻炼之前将它们钉住，这样，您将获得更多的锻炼。
- Despite the fact these are for use at home, I'd still recommend wearing workout gear and good trainers. This means you'll feel more comfortable during your workout, the clothes absorb sweat better and good workout footwear prevent injury to your knees, shins and ankles.
- I enter all my workouts and exercise into the My Fitness Pal app, as you have to put in your gender, age, height and weight, it calculates more accurately how many calories you've burned. This is also good to keep in mind when you're working out on cardio equipment too, as the calorie count isn't always accurate.

So, that's it! A little selection of some of my favourite workout videos. I'm loving doing health and fitness posts lately, so let me know if you've been enjoying reading them as much I have been writing them!

If you have any requests for these types of videos, I'd love it if you'd let me know in the comments!

您使用锻炼视频吗？您最喜欢什么？

So, we've explained where I workout and when I workout, now all that's left is to explain如何I workout. As I said previously, I don't stick to anything too structured, I do what I feel my body needs, and switch it up whenever I feel like it. However, I do think some structure is good and in a week, I tend to do 3 days of intense cardio and 2 days of lighter cardio and strength training. Like I always say in these posts, this is what works for me personally and I am in no way a professional.

So, to elaborate, on the days where I feel like I can push myself, I train. These are my three days of intense cardio. On these days, I'll warm up by fast walking, then jogging for around 10 minutes, then push myself as hard as I can on the treadmill and stationary bike for around an hour, then cool down again by jogging. Generally, on these days, this is all I'd do as it's quite intense and I try to up the pace every couple of weeks or so, this way I make progress rather than just sticking to the same routine, which can get boring. On the other two days or three days in the week, I'll do light cardio, so fast walking or jogging on a slightly higher incline on the treadmill, or on a low resistance setting on the bike. I'll then follow this up with weight training, sometimes squats with weights, lunges etc. I'm not personally into heavy weight training, so light/ medium weights along with aerobic exercise for half an hour is plenty for me on these days. I'll then take a day or two as rest days, which I'll talk more about when I get into the actual tips.

As I say, this is my personal routine that works for me, it may work for some of you, it may not, it's just something I've been asked about before and thought I'd share! To sum up, that's 3 days of intense cardio and 2 or 3 days of light cardio and strength training. Now I'm going to share a few of my personal fitness tips with you guys. These are a just a few things I've learnt along the way and things that I think some of you may find helpful.

在舒适和令人信服的地方锻炼。

为了我。我很幸运地创建了我的小型家庭健身房，这对我来说很有效，因为我可以随时随地可以去，而且不必担心周围的人！如果您想去健身房，那么选择一个容易获得的环境和一个好的环境是一个好主意，这样就很难找借口！

不要向自己施加压力。

这样，我肯定会not意味着只有锻炼当你觉得喜欢它,因为我f you only fancy getting up and excerpting once in a blue moon, your results ŵill be very slow! What I mean by this, is don't pressure yourself to stick to an unrealistic routine. If you're still in school and vow to wake up at 5am to run every morning, you'll more than likely start getting bored and very, very tired! However, if you find a time that works for you, even if it's just weekends or days off to begin with, you're much more likely to stick to it, as you're doing it at a convinient time and not forcing it into your daily routine.

你do有时间。

也就是说，您不必剥夺自己的睡眠来锻炼身体，人们经常说他们只是没有时间锻炼。但是，这些人经常在下班后每天晚上每天晚上观看一两小时的电视时间。在整个一周中找到您至关重要的时间，全天充分利用您的时间，夜间坐着看电视可能是您喜欢做的事情，但是为什么不做一些下蹲，跳千斤顶，腿部抬起和紧缩当你看？或者也许投资固定的自行车或交叉培训师（其中一些折叠很便宜！），并在您安顿下来观看GBBO时将其拖入客厅（好吧，也许是关于蛋糕和糕点的节目，这是世界上最激励的事情），这样，您将获得一个锻炼的小时，并且不会剥夺任何东西。请记住，一个小时的运动大约是您一天的4％，现在告诉我您没有时间！

Find a routine that you enjoy.

对我来说,我喜欢跑步。但是,我不喜欢going outside in front of living, breathing people and running on slippery pavements and in raining English weather. Therefore the treadmill is my solution, I enjoy it and it's in the comfort of my own home - no judgey strangers in sight. I also really enjoy the station bike, I love doing squats, lunges, crunches and other aerobic exercise. I actually enjoy my routine, which is why I stick to it and do it regularly. Perhaps if running and cycling isn't your thing, maybe swimming is, or dance or perhaps some sort of team sport. Whatever your thing is, find it anddo它。如果您实际上喜欢锻炼，那么您会更加努力地推动自己，并从中获得更多收益。

Don't rely on others.

这听起来可能有些奇怪，但是在我看过的很多健身帖子中，人们都说他们发现它有助于与朋友锻炼。虽然我同意锻炼伙伴可以是晶圆厂（实际上，我想我在以前的一篇文章中进行了竞争！），因为他们可以帮助您激励您，但我认为重要的是完全不完全依靠您的锻炼伙伴来动机。对我来说，我总是经常和妈妈一起锻炼，但是现在，我们的工作时间大不相同，尽管有时我们仍然可以一起锻炼，而其他时候，这是行不通的。有时，您的朋友可能必须取消您的跑步，或者最后一分钟去健身房，但这并不意味着您不应该去！锻炼伙伴很有趣，绝对是做帮助您激励您，但是如果您只要workout when your friend is available, then you may find you aren't as consistent as you'd like to be. Which brings me to my next point...

始终如一！

I've said again and again in this post that I don't believe in sticking to strict routines, however I do believe in consistency. To be honest, I think the key to a good fitness regime and healthy lifestyle is consistency. Yes, there will be days when you're busy from 7am to 11pm, or you may be sick, or perhaps you're just not feeling it and that's absolutely fine and normal, however,总是pick yourself back up the next day, or week and get yourself back on track ASAP. The longer you go without a workout, the harder it is to get back into your routine afterwards.

Have active rest days.

It's important to have rest days, particularly when you're just starting out with fitness, to avoid burning yourself out. However, I personally believe you should be active as often as possible. Perhaps just getting out for a walk on a rest day, or even dance around your bedroom for a bit! We all enjoy a duvet day now and then, but being entirely inactive and not getting up and moving at all on every single rest day may make it harder for you to get back into routine again. Personally, I generally plan my 'rest day' on a day when I have got work, as opposed to a Sunday or another day off, because even though I won't be hitting the treadmill or weights on that day. I know I will still be somewhat active at work. The I can just look forward to a chilled evening in front of the tv when I get home!

ph！我想我现在就把这篇文章留下来，因为我还有很多技巧，但这已经变得越来越长了！
