Exercise Equipment Tips
The more you want to use it, the more we would recommend that you go for high quality treadmills.
When you understand the basics of a quality treadmill, then it will be easy to find one that is perfect for your home and budget.
Long or short workouts determine the quality of motor you need for your treadmill.
I usually end my treadmill routine with about 15 minutes of quality stretching.
Researches have shown, that during exercising most people forget to breath deeply or they are unable to integrate their breathing pattern with the exercises causing them muscle pain and fatigue after the workout.
Post-Holiday Recovery - Recommit to Your Workouts One sure way to feel better about things is to starve yourself for the next three days.
Okay, not really. The real trick is to get back to your workouts, renew your commitment to being healthy and vow you'll never stick your face into a big plate of pulled pork ever, ever again (although a small barbecue sandwich is just fine).
Sometimes, an overindulgent holiday is the perfect motivation to recommit and I have some workout ideas for you, depending on your mood:

From Monday's poll, I can see that many of you spent the weekend doing what I did - snarfing down everything in sight. The worst part about a holiday like the 4th of July is the lingering post-holiday food hangover (or, perhaps, a hangover of another sort), which leaves you feeling out of sorts, lethargic and, maybe, a little guilty.
Exercise of the Week - Pushup, Plank and Row There are a few key form pointers for making this exercise safe and effective. First, start with light weights to get a feel for the exercise. It's tough to hold a plank position with just one hand and it's even harder when there's a weight in the other hand. Second, use hex weights or weights that won't roll around on you, which could end badly. Last, doing this move on an elevated platform (as shown) makes it a little easier. You can modify further by doing the move on your knees or you can do the move on the floor to make it harder. Or you can shake your head in disgust and skip it altogether...I'll never know.
Do it right: Get into a pushup position on a step or raised platform with hands gripping dumbbells about shoulder-width apart, palms facing each other. Lower into a pushup, press up and pull the right weight up into a row, keeping the hips down and working to keep the body from twisting. Lower and repeat the pushups, alternating rows on each side for 1-3 sets of 8-16 reps.

Pushups are already a challenging exercise, but if you're wondering how to make them even more intense, you're in luck. This pushup, plank and row variation takes you to a new level by incorporating more core strength and involving your lats, making this a whole body movement (or as one of my clients suggested, a 'whole body movement of pain').
