Sweat, pant and 2x your heart rate

by Rick Amos

When it comes to exercise, doing a little is worth SO MUCH MORE than doing nothing.

This month I am taking a break from the fitness center and trying to ride my bike or jog 5 times a week. Even though it is hot and muggy here in Orlando, there is something life-giving about getting out there to sweat, pant and double my heart rate.

Regular exercise helps me to sleep, eat less junk and sore muscles make me feel like I’m 21 years old again.

If you’ve read this far and you are feeling ashamed… don’t give up! It only takes 15 minutes outside to sweat, pant and double your heart rate. Once you are out there I bet you will stretch it out to 30 minutes.

What is your exercise plan for this month?
Where can you fit 30 minutes to sweat, pant and double your heart rate today?
How would you feel four weeks from now if you exercised regularly?

    Hi, Rick!

    I’ve been working out 6 days a week for the last 3.5 weeks. I feel GREAT! In this month, I’ve been able to increase the weights I use for upper and lower body. And I’ve noticed that I can push myself harder when I do cardio as well. I didn’t think I could improve this quickly.

    These next 4 weeks, I plan to stick with the routine I have. I’m just going to use heavier dumbbells.

    Happy exercising!
