Exercises Fitness At Home

Considering a cardiovascular routine at home? Then you are inviting yourself to not only lose weight but also do it from the comfort of your own home. Cardiovascular exercise has so many benefits but one that I don’t have to remind you of is that you can do it ANYWHERE!
Finding a cardio workout to do at home is simple and fun and you are also guaranteed to enjoy. No longer do you have to feel self-conscious in your clothes. Say goodbye to the day when you felt like you had to dress up, do your hair and touch up your makeup before you could complete a workout at the gym.
Home 1
There are many cardio routines to choose from whether you want to pop a disc in the DVD, or take it back as far as middle school with some heart healthy, oxygen building Calisthenics. Calisthenics are organized exercise movements that don’t require weights or equipment.
They are known to boost your heart rate, body strength, and flexibility. This is the best cardio that you can do because you are actually working your body. Have you ever looked at anyone in the military and thought “I could bounce a quarter off their stomach?” Well Calisthenics are the basis of all military workouts so one day someone could have that very same thought about you.
Aerobics is another convenient workout that can be done in your home. It is cheap; you have a wealth of varieties of video styles on the market so you can pick out any type of workout that interests you. It is best to find something you won’t mind doing 5-6 days a week. Aerobic exercise is one of the best ways to burn calories and lose weight. High Impact Aerobics done for 45-60 minutes will burn 357-477 calories. News Bulletin: NO MORE SHOWERING IN PUBLIC-you can lose weight from home!

Cardio without Equipment and Going to the Gym
You don’t need equipment to get a powerful and effective cardio workout at the gym. You can try a wealth of classes that burn calories and help you lose weight. You can also do calisthenics at the gym, and most personal trainers do take you back to the basic.
Step Aerobics: This is an effective attainable workout at the gym and is highly favored by most women. This form of aerobics targets problem areas like the legs, thighs and gluteus. Most classes are 30-45 minutes and allow you to burn 400-600 calories in that time frame.
Spinning: This is a high intensity work out that include upbeat music and a coordinated and very challenging bike ride that combines hill, valleys and a variation on speed. Spinning for 30-45 minutes allows you to burn 254-382 calories.
Yoga: This is a workout built around the classic sun salutation series, with challenging core and upper- and lower-body variations added for a fat-blasting twist. This is an excellent cardio routine and stress reliever. You can burn 130 calories in one workout.
Pilates: This is a cardio program that focuses on the core posture muscles which help keep the body balanced and are essential in providing support for the spine. It encompasses the abdomen, hips and buttocks. This workout allows you to burn 126 calories in a 45 minute workout.

Cardio with Machines and Going to the Gym
If you are going to the gym it is always a great idea to reap the benefits of the equipment which will increase your chance of burning calories and losing weight.
Cross-Country Skiing – This machine is an incredible cardio exercise and it involves both upper and lower body. You can burn approx 495 calories in 45 minutes.
Elliptical Trainer – This trainer offers you an excellent cardio exercise and it builds your endurance with a total body workout. You can burn about 450 calories in 45 minutes.
Rowing Machine- an incredible workout machine packed with cardio benefits. It works your arms and allows you to burn about 450 calories in 45 minutes.
Bicycling – stationary bikes are always considered to be a beneficial cardio exercise, depending on the resistance, speed and intensity you can burn 500 to 750 calories in 45 minutes.

Here's another couple of pictures of fitness competitor Tanji Johnson.
These are both in her American Gladiators gear.
Even though American Gladiators will no longer be seen on NBC-TV, there is a rumor the show may be picked up by another company.
And even if Tanji is no longer associated with the show, the certified personal trainer, NPC promoter and writer will have lots of avenues to keep busy.
Despite her name, I doubt you'll have a hard time seeing more of "Stealth".

More Adela Garcia Fitness Figur



I did a write up on IFBB professional fitness competitor Adela Garcia way back in April of 2007.
So after three years, isn't it about time for another one?

Adela was born on December 1st, 1971, in Cabrera, Dominican Republic and then her family moved to San Juan, Puerto Rico when she was eight years old.
She played softball, volleyball, and basketball when she was in school. then started weight training at seventeen.

Before Adela got her IFBB pro card, she competed in numerous events....

1995 NPC Europa Sports Fitness Championship - 2nd place
1996 NPC National Fitness Championship - 12th place
1996 NPC Pennsylvania Fitness Championship - 4th place
1998 NPC USA Fitness Championship - 9th place (short class)
1998 NPC National Fitness Championship - 8th place (short class)
1998 IFBB North American Fitness Championship - 6th place (short class)
1998 NPC Junior National Fitness Championship - 2nd place (short class)

When Adela won the the NPC USA Fitness Championships in 1999, she got her pro card and went on to compete in many events, getting first place at the 2002 IFBB New York Pro Fitness, the 2002 IFBB Atlantic States Pro Fitness, the 2002 IFBB Pittsburgh Pro Fitness, the 2003 IFBB New York Pro Fitness, the 2004 IFBB Fitness International, the 2004 IFBB Fitness Olympia, the 2006 IFBB Fitness International, the 2005 IFBB Sacramento Pro Fitness, the 2006 IFBB Fitness International, the 2006 IFBB Fitness Olympia, the 2007 IFBB Europa Super and the 2007 IFBB Fitness Olympia.



But as the late Billy Mays used to say "That's not all!"
Adela took off a couple of years and came back in a big way winning the 2009 IFBB Europa Super Show & Supplement Expo and the 2009 IFBB Olympia.
So fourteen years after coming in second at the 1995 NPC Europa Sports Fitness Championship, she wins two of the biggest fitness competitions in the world!
This five foot one, 110 pound fitness beauty is amazing to say the least.
And I didn't mention that Adela was recently named number one on the IFBB's list of the top 100 fitness competitors.
