Quick Tip Tuesday!

Sorry I keep posting these on Wednesday! But hey, now you get two fun posts in one day!

Today's quick tip is about how many times to exercise per week. Every trainer has a different opinion- Jillian Michaels says 5x a week while Tracy Anderson says 5-6 days a week.

4-5x a week is a perfect amount of weekly exercise if you are doing more intense workouts that really are hard work for you.

If you're doing a less strenuous workout, you can move up to 5-6x a week for good results.

Remember: Only do what you can! And the faster you want results, the harder you need to push (without getting hurt!) and the more days per week you will need to exercise.

Last but not least! Don't forget to have at least one rest day per week! This lets your muscles relax and refresh so that you can start the next day fresh and strong! You'll also probably notice that you look thinner the day after your rest day because your muscles have had a chance to relax.
