Think Realistically

I had a pretty good workout today after work. I ran 3 sets of stadium stairs then did 4 sets of 60 meter sprints some abs and pull ups. I get the feeling sometimes that lots of people think that working out means a gruesome three hour workout where you can barely walk afterwards, but this is not true at all. You can get a good workout in 30 minutes to an hour it just depends on what you are trying to accomplish and in what time frame you would like it to happen. 
When planning your workouts you have to think realistically! Don't go out there thinking you are going to run 3 miles when you have never ran like that in your life. I can't even run 3 miles without stopping, and I have been working out almost on a daily basis for as long as I can remember. All your work outs should be something you have worked up to. For example I take my workouts a week at a time. I write a weeks worth of work outs try it out and then seeing how my body feels at the end of the week I either pile on a little more work load or take a little off in places. I guess in my next post I should talk a little about how to write a workout for yourself huh? Well in the mean time I hope this helps a little! 

Seek multiple options.
