FINDING YOUR OWN WORKOUT STYLE

I often get asked about the workout routines I share with you in my IG and here on my blog, some of you want to know how I find the inspiration to workout every day and I totally get where this question comes from, I know that sometimes we’d prefer to skip this part of our everyday routine, no matter how determined we were at the beginning. And I think that the main reason sometimes we don’t want to continue with our workouts, is because the routine we chose doesn’t align with our personal workout style and we end up hating the time we’re supposed to do it!

So, although the workouts I share with you are just the right ones for me and keep me motivated to continue doing them, I know that these routines are not exactly for everybody  and I decided to investigate a little about some other workout routines that might be better suited to different styles, and get to keep you motivated, or maybe you enjoy mixing different styles and that’s what you need to keep being motivated.

HIGH INTENSITY WORKOUTS:

  • HIIT (HIGH INTENSITY INTERVAL TRAINING)

This form of training combines short burst of intense exercise with periods of rest or lower intensity exercise and it often mixes aerobic and resistance training. This kind of workouts can help you improve oxygen capacity and burn a lot of calories in short amount of time, it also can reduce heart rate and blood pressure. Here’s the basic equipment you’ll need for this kind of training



  • Resistance Bands GET IT HERE
  • Kettlebells GET IT HERE
  • CARDIO DANCE

If you love moving and you love dancing, this is the right workout for you! This is a strong aerobic workout that helps you tone and shape your muscles while the music allows your mind to relax while you keep your body in constant motion. Cardio Dance helps you improve condition of your heart and lungs and helps you with your coordination and flexibility. You won’t need many things for this workout, but this will help you out:

  • YOGA MAT GET IT HERE
  • Adjustable weights GET IT HERE
  • PILATES

This technique might not have you hopping around, but that doesn’t mean it’s not very intense, one of its main benefits it’s that will chisel your core. It also can help you reduce low-back pain and improve your posture, strength and flexibility. You can be fancy and buy one of those reformers, or you can try first this basic equipment:

  • Pilates Bar Kit GET IT HERE

  • Pilates Ring
    GET IT HERE

LOW INTENSITY WORKOUTS:

  • Body Sculpting

This is a nor aerobic training that focuses on toning your muscles and sculpting them (as its name suggest) resulting in a toned and lean body. You get stronger muscles and helps you also reduce body fat. Basically you’ll need weights, bands and dumbbells

  • Hand weights GET IT HERE
  • Dumbbells GET IT HERE
  • YOGA

Do you want to learn to go with the flow and at the same time ease your stress and be more flexible? Search no more because yoga is perfect for you then!

As many of you might know, I love working out every day, this is a part of my day’s routine that I really enjoy and I’ve been showing you here and in my Instagram, some of the routines I enjoy and give me the best results, however I know that not everybody enjoy the same workout style and I know that specially in working out, enjoyment is key in avoiding you casually “forget” all about it!

This is a powerful workout, designed to give your body that boost It sometimes requires and it is designed in circuits, so if you want to try it, remember to complete the whole circuit before starting the next one:

FIRST CIRCUIT:

You’re going to repeat the next 2 exercises for 20 min without stopping, and this is important, once your 20 minutes end, you get to rest for 2 minutes (yes, only two minutes) and start the second circuit.

  1. With a Slam Ball or a medicine ball of 20 lbs aprox, step on the bench 15 times with each leg (30 times in total)
  2. Continue with 12 squat presses with each arm (24 in total)
  3. Next do 20 shoulder presses

Breath, hydrate, take 2 minutes to rest and go for the second circuit!

SECOND CIRCUIT

As with the first circuit, you’re going to repeat these exercises during 20 minutes without stopping:

  1. 15 reps of butterfly squats
  2. 15 push up presses.
  3. 10 burpees
  4. 20 kicks to the workout sandbag

Once you finish your second circuit, you’re done! Remember to hydrate yourself as it’s super important that you take good care of yourself, as you’re doing these workouts to take care of yourself and give your body what it needs to stay healthy and in to be the best version of itself!

Here I’ll list you the gear I’d recommend for this super workout:

* As you all know, I only recommend products I’d use myself, so this post contains affiliate links, that means if you use them to make a purchase I may receive a commission from that sale.

An finally, as I’ll always recommend you, check with your doctor first if you’re not sure if this workout is for you or have any concern or doubt about the exercises, stretch and warm up before ANY workout (here I have some warm up exercises you can try) and cool off once you’re done with your workout, take a shower after that and you’re ready to go on with your day!

What other kind of workouts would you like me to show you? Is there anything in particular you’d like to see and learn? Let me know!

WORKOUT AT HOME

Friday, 22 May 2020 / Published in Lifestyle

As some of you know from my Instagram feed, I’ve been posting some stories with my “at home” workout routine and I want to share it with you here, with more detail in case you want to add something to your own workout routine or even want to start one.

Exercising has always been very important to me because is something that I enjoy and that helps me to unwind and relax, besides, I get restless if for some reason I can’t do any kind of exercise for a while. So during this quarantine when gyms are closed, I started my own at home routine (as many of us have been doing), and discovered that it actually is a lot of fun to include not only the exercises thar are good for certain areas of your body but also the ones that you enjoy the most. Are you ready then?

The first thing I do before any workout, is to warm-up. This part is super important and although it’s tempting to jump right into your workout, if you skip the warm-up, the whole routine turns less efficient for your body and you can get yourself injured, so here’s a super easy warm-up:

  • Hip Circles, 8 reps outward, 8 reps inward. How to: 
    • Stand with your feet together.
    • Raise one knee to 90 degrees. Circle the hip out making a big circle with your knee. Switch to your other leg
  • Arm Circles, 8 reps forward, 8 reps backward. How to:
    • Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, arms by your side.
    • Slowly swing your arms forward in a circular motion
  • Hip Lunge Stretch, 8 reps for each leg
    • Stand with your feet hip-width apart. Step forward with your left leg so that you’re in a split-leg position.
    • Step back with your right foot as far as you can and lower your hips until te front knee is bent to a 90 degree angle.
    • Press your right hip forward to feel the stretch and remember to keep your back straight, hold and then switch legs.
  • Calf Stretch. 8 reps for each leg
    • Standing with the right foot in front and the left one in the back, bend your back knee slightly and lean your upper body forward as you support your hands on the bent thigh.
    • Keep the right leg straight in front of you and push your right bottom out behind to stretch the front of the back thigh
    • Switch legs.

After I’ve warmed up I switch to jumping rope. This is an excellent cardio exercise and can easily be done at home. If you don’t want to get tired soon, don’t swing the rope from your shoulders but from your wrists and don’t jump too high. So here’s a very simple routine:

  • Jump rope at a regular bounce for 1 min
  • Rest 1 min
  • Jump rope skipping: hope over the rope with your right foot and the next time with your left foot. 1 min
  • Rest 1 min
  • Repeat for 20 min

From here you can start the workout routine you feel more comfortable with or the one that seems more fun to you as there are a lot of techniques you can try, from pilates and barre to crossfit. The equipment changes depending on what you want to achieve with your workout. However I recommend you to vary your workouts because it will not only bore you but it can keep you from getting the results you want, so experiment with different moves and different tools and keep things fun and enjoyable for you, and remember that is always best to check with your doctor if certain workout is good for you and your health.

Why don’t you send me your favorite workout routines that you’ve been doing during these days? Maybe we can compare notes!
