Gym Workouts - Love it or Hate it?

I have a love/hate relationship with the gym. On the days I find myself hating the gym, I force myself to go and by the end of my workout I feel glad I did. Because of this love/hate relationship, I’m always researching new ways to stay fit and active. I enjoy trying out new cardio routines to help keep my workouts interesting and body guessing. This past Spring I discovered a 16 week routine on iwantsixpackabs.com from watching you tube videos. Now this workout is catered towards men but I was able to alter the routine for my fitness level. This is an awesome but challenging program, in my opinion, for men and women!!

Exercise

In a perfect world I will workout everyday for 4-6 hours (not really). Since I’m not in a perfect world and “life happens” sometimes going to the gym is not an option. In order to stick with my weekly fitness goals, I will engage in cardio routines at home. Here is one of my favorite but VERY CHALLENGING routines from iwantsixpackabs.com. Please don’t feel intimidated by this routine; I haven’t mastered it myself. Not familiar with some of these exercises? No problem because you can find videos on You Tube.
