You sit in an air conditioned office all day and you really don’t get enough vitamin D, so now that summer is rolling around and the weather is heating up it’s time to take your exercise routine outdoors. Forget indoor exercise this season and read on for great summer workout ideas.
Take the stairs
If you’re looking to tone your legs and butt as well as definitively increase your cardio, then you should consider stair climbing. Head to any set of outdoor stairs and aim to run up and down approximately 20 times while keeping your body upright. For that extra challenge, run up each step and skip every second step, this will up your oxygen intake and heart rate.
Once you’re coping with this, increase the number of climbs or find some longer stairs.
Get back in the water
Now that it’s warm enough, it’s time for you to get back into the pool or the sea. Swimming is not only low-impact on your body but is extremely good for you in terms of cardio, endurance and increasing your lung volume. If laps are not your thing, lots of places offer aqua aerobics classes, learn-to swim programmes and squad training sessions.
Putting the boot in boot camp
If you’re looking for a motivator to get you outdoors, an early morning boot camp will probably do the trick. Exercising with other people, particularly friends and workmates will help you to get more out of the sessions than you would if you were exercising by yourself. Don’t worry about falling behind because smaller boot camps can tailor programmes to your individual fitness and strength.

There’s nothing wrong with living it up in the holiday season, good food and good wine is what helps to make Christmas time one of the best seasons of the year. When the new year rolls around (and it’ll be here sooner than you think!) you’re going to have make some brand new fitness resolutions to take those extra pounds off for the beach.
Try fitness software for extra motivation
If you’re the type of person that starts exercise on the 1st of January and gives up by the 5th, you’re probably going to need a little bit more motivation this time around. Fitness software programs offer a comprehensive training package that will not only give you an exercise plan tailored to your needs but also meal plans for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The idea is to help build a new lifestyle based on health and exercise rather than just tacking one on to your existing routine.
Try something different to find something fun
Some people get stuck in a rut by doing the same routines time after time, soon making them become tedious. There are fun activities out there, you just have to find it. So this year, make a resolution to try something different to find something fun.
For a complete workout and a healthy dose of silliness, try a Zumba class or if you’re a person who loves to be outdoors and doesn’t mind getting wet, head to the Brisbane River and hire a kayak on a sunny day. Dancing, rock climbing or even a game of dodgeball may be just the thing you need to jumpstart your 2012 health kick and do you know what? Even if it doesn’t work out – at least you can be proud of yourself for trying something new.

Exercising regularly is crucial to losing weight, building muscle and improving general health – but it can also be pretty easy to get an injury that will prevent you from getting the exercise we need. For the most part aside from accidents such as breaks and sprains, the most common types of injuries tend to come from overtraining. Overtraining is precisely what it sounds like: doing too much.
While it’s fantastic that many people get a boost of excitement and dedication when they first start committing to a regular fitness regime, this excitement and enthusiasm can lead to injury when they listen to their heads instead of their bodies.
We’ve all been there: whether it’s deciding to take up a new martial art or start training for long distance running, it’s often the case that we get so into our new resolution that we train too much too soon and injure ourselves before we’ve barely even had the chance to get started! Maybe we try to run every day instead of taking a day’s break to rest up, or we attempt two martial arts classes in a day instead of giving ourselves the appropriate recovery time; whatever happens, when you train too much without allowing yourself to get used to it, you can easily get injured.
The best way to avoid injury is simply to ensure you allow yourself enough time to recover in between sessions. Even if this means just attending karate once a week until your muscles get used to the stretches, it’s crucial to listen to the needs of your body over your head’s desires and build up slowly. Fitness tracking software can help you keep on top of your exercise, Accelerware Sports Performance software is available on 07 3188 1965.
While the forearms are used in many different cardio and weight-based exercises, it’s actually pretty hard to work them out. Even though you’re using them often, it tends to be other muscles such as the upper arm and shoulder muscles that are doing all of the work – and if you want to have full, defined looking forearms that will impress even Popeye, it’s time to dedicate a couple of different exercises to them alone.
Building up your forearms can be fairly simple and there are two good exercises you can do to fulfil this aim; all you need is a set of dumbbells. The movements are subtle, so just concentrate on getting your technique right so you can feel the muscles working as you go through the movements.
In the first exercise, hold the dumbbells down by your sides, so they’re hanging at your thighs. Slowly, move your wrists so that first the back end of the dumbbell is raised, then the front end, so they are moving in a seesaw motion. Aim for three to five sets of 15 to 20 reps.
The second exercise starts in the same position, but this time you curl your wrists as if you’re trying to touch the inside of your forearm. This works the top of your forearm and helps you build up the whole area rather than just one part.
Track your progress on fitness tracking software so you can see how things change over the weeks. Accelerware Sports Performance, which you can reach on 07 3188 1965, provides software that can help you stay on top of your fitness and progress as you become stronger.
