It’s Spring Break time in schools around the nation.  If you’ve got kids or grandkids, that could mean there may be a vacation in your future. Just because you’re on vacation doesn’t mean your workout has to go to “you-know-where” in a hand basket.

I recently took a trip to Mexico with my husband and we were able to get in short, intense workouts the majority of the days we were there.  We did the “intense” thing because we didn’t want to spend lots of time in the gym.  We got in the gym, worked hard, and got out quickly so that we could enjoy the rest of our day.  The shorter your time frame, the higher the intensity should be.

We specifically chose a hotel that had a gym, but I was intent on creating a video of a workout for you that doesn’t require a gym.  Although I do the workout on a tennis court, you could do it anywhere you can find some lines (a basketball court, a football field).

If you’re a tennis player, you’re in for a treat because the workout I’m demonstrating in the video here can help improve your game.  The drills I do not only burn calories and can act as “interval training” for you, they will also develop better foot work and agility on the tennis court if you practice them regularly.

When I make videos for you at home, my  dog, Noah, often makes a cameo appearance.  I didn’t have Noah on vacation with me, but you’ll never guess what walked across the path right as I was about to begin shooting the video for you!  I guess I’m just destined to have animal sidekicks in all my videos .

So, if you’re short on time and on location try this workout on for size.

Happy Spring!

Committed to your success,

So often, we say we want to lose weight, tone up or get in better shape—-but we don’t really have a plan to do so, and therefore action never takes place.  I’m not sure who said it, but there’s a quote that goes something like this:  “Fail to plan, plan to fail”.  All too true when it comes to weight loss.

So, what’s a boomer woman who wants to lose weight to do?  Stop talking, and start doing!! Yes, I know–easier said than done!

To move from the talk mode into the action mode, you need a plan.  In my last post and video I told you how writing down your goals was a great first step toward better fitness this year.  A game plan is the second step.

In your game plan, you map out the actions you’ll take to achieve the goals you wrote in step #1.

I made a little video for you explaining how to go about setting up a game plan.

I kid you not when I say that the boomer women who put together a specific game plan are the ones who are achieving higher levels of fitness and better weight loss progress.  This stuff works.

If you need a copy of my goal setting handout, you can grab a copy HERE.

What’s YOUR game plan for making 2010 your fittest, leanest year yet?  Share your plan here at the blog.  Your ideas may just be what another boomer reader needs to get a jump start on her fitness program!

Yours in health,

Becky
