How to Create the Ultimate On-the-Go Fitness Plan

Sometimes staying fit can be hard if you’re incredibly busy. Work, family, and other stuff can easily get in the way of fitness plans.

What do you do if you’re strapped for time yet still want to work out? The key is to do little things throughout the day that over time really add up.

Fitness on the Go Can Be Fun and Effective

And we’re here to help you do just that! Here’s some expert tips for fitness on the go. (Remember to consult with your doctor before beginning any new diet and exercise plan.)

1. Pack your sneakers. The beauty of getting outdoors is that it doesn’t matter where you are. All you basically need is a pair of sneakers. Then you can walk, hike, or run in practically any location. Try to get a 30-minute walk in each day, which can speed up your metabolism and really get your blood pumping. Consider also checking out local trails near your neighborhood for a quick hike before or after work.
2. Use your body weight. Can’t make it to the gym? Well, you’ve got an excellent piece of equipment you can use any time – your own body! Your body can provide excellent resistance to help build muscle strength. Some great exercises you can do include push-ups, tricep dips, squats, lunges and planks.
3. Exercise while you work. Raise your activity level and productivity with neck rolls or arm raises. Push hands out to the side and then up toward the ceiling. Take a brisk walk during your break. Use the stairs instead of the elevator. Consider creating a desk gym. A jump rope, a stability ball, exercise bands, and dumbbells don’t cost much or take up much room.
4. Wake up a little earlier. Start by setting your alarm clock just five minutes earlier. Do stretches and jumping jacks before getting in the shower, or follow a short exercise DVD.
5. Sneak in a lunch break workout. Make use of your precious 60 minutes by hitting the gym or going for a walk. Not only will it keep your waistline in check, you’re also proven to be more productive during the day by logging off for an hour than you would be by eating lunch at your desk.
6. Multitask on the treadmill. Save time at the gym by hopping on the treadmill holding a three to five pound dumbbell in each hand, and set the speed to a brisk walk. Do a one-minute set each of shoulder presses, biceps curls, triceps extensions, side laterals, front laterals, and standing triceps kickbacks one after another as you walk. It’s an amazing upper-body challenge that also gets your heart pumping. Do this series two or three times each week. As you improve, work up to doing four-minute sets.
7. Don’t be a couch potato. While you’re vegging out before the TV, do some push-ups, crunches, jumping jacks, and squats. Clear some space between the couch and the TV so you don’t miss anything while breaking a sweat. Need an extra nudge? Move your dumbbells, jump rope, and other fitness tools near the tube to give yourself visible reminders.
8. Power up your stair climbs. Instead of walking leisurely up a flight of stairs, gradually increase your speed and the number of stairs you take in one minute. Take two steps at once, if you’re able to do it safely, and you’ll target your glutes even more.
9. Tackle high energy items. Find the high-energy items on your to-do list and tackle these when you need physical activity. Think about washing the car, digging the garden, mowing the lawn, reorganizing a closet, or doing some spring cleaning.
10. Take the kids with you. While they’re playing, you can walk around the playground or jump rope nearby. During their games or sports practices, walk briskly around the field. You can also go biking with your kids, put up a badminton net in your yard, sign up as a family for fun runs or just walk around the neighborhood with your children. When the weather’s bad, try active video games like Dance Dance Revolution.

Want to boost your on-the-go fitness journey?

If you notice that exercise and diet aren’t producing noticeable results, then you may need a little extra help getting the body you’ve always wanted. Luckily, there are three med spa procedures that produce amazing results:

VelaShape

VelaShape is the only FDA-cleared body contouring device. It effectively and safely contours, shapes and slims the body by reducing cellulite and firming problem areas — all in as little as four treatments.

With VelaShape you can get fit and look great in no time.

That’s because VelaShape boasts four different components – radiofrequency, infrared light, vacuum suction and mechanical massage. The infrared light and radiofrequency energies allow VelaShape to precisely heat dermal and hypodermal tissue in the treatment area. This heating effect boosts fat cell metabolism and reduces the number and size of fat cells, thereby eliminating cellulite. At the same time, VelaShape’s mechanical massage rollers gently knead the area, increasing circulation, encouraging lymphatic drainage and eliminating fat cell byproducts and toxins. Finally, the vacuum suction technology smooths out dimples by stretching fibrous bands in the epidermis, reducing the appearance of cellulite. The end result of these high-tech applications is a significant reduction in body circumference and cellulite, and smoother, firmer skin.

Science supports VelaShape’s effects. People in clinical trials experienced an average of half an inch to a full three inches of circumferential reduction in treated areas after a series of four treatments. What’s more, their cellulite was reduced by up to 63%. Another clinical study showed that 85% of patients saw their thighs shrink up to three inches!

Thermage

Look fabulous with Thermage, a clinically-proven, unique radiofrequency treatment that can firm problem areas on the body. Best of all, only one treatment is needed, and results last up to ten years!

Thermage often seems to work magic, but the science behind it is simple. Thermage works from the inside out. It transfers heat to the epidermis, which not only encourages collagen production, but also tightens existing collagen. Thermage effects this partly through radiofrequency technology, which produces electrical currents that causes collagen within the skin to contract and gradually reform. This is why most individuals experience dramatic tightening and smoothing of the skin over the six months following treatment. Since the outer layers of the skin are unaffected, there is almost no recovery time involved.

You’ll need only one Thermage treatment to reap all the benefits of its innovative technology. During the several months following treatment, you’ll see dramatically tighter, firmer and smoother skin.

Zerona

Add Zerona to your fitness plans. Zerona is a cutting-edge body contouring procedure that effectively removes excess fat without any negative side effects. It emulsifies fat, enabling patients to lose inches from their waist, hips, and thighs.

the cold laser technology’s low-level laser stimulation exclusively releases the cellular contents of fat cells while leaving the capillaries and other cells within the interstitial space intact

How does Zerona work? Zerona utilizes cold laser technology, which emulsifies fat and allows it to move to interstitial space. More specifically, the cold laser technology’s low-level laser stimulation exclusively releases the cellular contents of fat cells while leaving the capillaries and other cells within the interstitial space intact. By disrupting the cell’s membrane, the cell then releases its fat contents. Once the fat contents are released, the body’s lymphatic system absorbs it. Basically, Zerona procedures cause fat cells to shrink, resulting in a loss of inches on areas such as your waist.

Zerona treatments are so effective that most patients experience an average loss of 3.64 inches on their waist, hips, buttocks and thighs in a matter of weeks. Some patients even witness a nine inch circumferential reduction after their first series of treatments, and results can be seen in as little as fourteen days.
