As a professional athlete, competing and working out is always in the forefront of your mind. The rest of us have 28 million other things to think about, which means that we need to make exercising as convenient as possible. I joined a gym close to home, and being able to drive, run or bike there has proven effective in keeping me on a consistent schedule, regardless of the weather. For added motivation, I always keep a clean set of workout clothes in my car so I can head to the gym or the local park on a whim. (After all, if you don't go home first, you won't find excuses to stay home.) I also keep a stash of fitness gadgets in my closet, including a medicine ball, workout bands and a stability ball. These let me exercise my entire body and, because they're so different from what I usually do at the gym, I generally look forward to using them again. Plus, most of these items travel well, which allows me to work out when I'm on the road.
Because the issues of time and travels were big concerns for many of my clients, I had the opportunity to create a perfect, mind, body and spirit workout called the TotalBodyWork when I was the Fitness Director at Miraval Resort. The 45 minutes workout includes, power meditation, Kundalini yoga exercises, upper and lower body exercises, fun cardio-kicks, full body stretches and relaxation technique, all in one workout DVD you can perform in the comfort of your own home. What’s more, the entire DVD is filmed outdoor at the fabulous and famous Spa/Resort, Miraval Tucson. All you need is a medicine ball (between 4 to 10 lbs), a yoga mat, a Bodybar (anywhere between 2 to 8 lbs if you are a female and 6 to 15 lbs if you are a male), a pair of handweights (between 1 to 5 lbs if you are a female and 7 to 12 lbs if you are a male). The workout is very effective and will leave you totally rejuvenated in body, mind and spirit.
