Getting bored?

Are you getting bored of the same ole gym routine? I have some alternatives for you :)

Get Outside!
Luckily spring is right around the corner, so get outside and get moving! Running outside is SO much better than hearing the continuous pound of your feet on the treadmill.... hate that! If you don't like running (or don't feel like it), find a coffee shop and walk to it! That is my FAVORITE thing to do on the weekends- I get a 3-mile workout in while getting my favorite treat! Find a workout and chatting buddy and enjoy the beautiful weather! You won't even feel like you're working out :) Plus, its a great way to have a "girls day" without indulging in the high-calorie meals most restaurants offer.

Don't want to leave your apartment? Try a video!!
As 'old-school' as it sounds, workout videos are an awesome way to mix up your workout regimen. I have a collection of them, and my favorite are the Jillian Michaels videos! In fact, I just did one last night :) And if you realllllly don't feel like getting up, getting dressed, and getting out of the house, videos are perfect! Plus, they're only $10. Nice and cheap and you can do them over and over!
This is my favorite video! All you need is yourself and a TV :)

Switch it up at the gym!
If you get bored easily, switch exercise machines frequently! This is good for your muscles, and great to control your boredom! My adorable roomate taught me do to 20 minutes on the bike, 20 minutes on the elliptical, and 20 minutes walking at an incline on the treadmill! It works your whole bod and goes by quickly since you're switching machines. I also love to run for 30-40 minutes, then go in the dance studio and do a bunch of burpees, high knees, squats, push ups, you name it.

Take a class!
Research gyms that you can go to and take a class! Whether it be spinning, zumba, or yoga, you will get a GREAT, painless workout! Most places make you pay around $10/class, which isn't terrible (especially if you're in dire need to switch up your workout). Taking classes are like my treat! Some gyms even have special deals for "first-time" members.... so go to all of the gyms until you've used up all of your "first-times" haha!

Hope this helps! Keep up your workout routine and don't get bored! YOU CAN DO IT!!!!!

Mischa Janiec: The Rising Natural Bodybuilder

He is a prime example of showing what an impressively ripped physique and lean size can be achieved by natural bodybuilding. Mischa Janiec is a 21-year-old athlete from Switzerland who stands 6' 3" at 220 lbs. His physiqual achievements are as imposing as his way and approach to natural bodybuilding.

Mischa started working out in a gym at the age of 18, initially for some health reasons. But his muscle gains and progress were so tremendously fast and amazing that he enjoyed training more and more. When he watched for the first time athletes posing at a contest, he was enormously inspired and decided: "I want to be a natural bodybuilder like them and to compete on stage." His success followed quickly: At his first competition, the Swiss Natural Bodybuilding Championship 2011, he placed first (Junior Class). This video shows Mischa's transformation within six months: pre contest, contest, period of rest, and off season:



His workout and posing videos, which become more and more popular, convey his passion and dedication. Mischa: "I love to work out hard, and to go to the limits of my capacity." He completes the common phrase "No pain, no gain" and empasizes "No brain, no gain" is equally true and important. Therefore he recommends all bodybuilding enthusiasts to join a board or community to learn as much as possible about training and nutrition. However, he warns not to carry out orders blindly, but encourages to stay instinctive, and to trust in your own experience and feeling. He shares his profound knowledge on his Facebook page where he posts exercise, nutrition, and supplement tips, always pointing to the things that constitute natural bodybuilding.

The young Swiss athlete has many additional plans and goals. He aspires to do more fitness modeling, especially in the US. Mischa says, he likes to display a "raw, manly" type, and does not want to be "the sweet boy with the wet hair look". And he would love to produce a comprehensive workout video.

Training, competing, modeling - everything with highly promising results. Mischa is a natural bodybuilder to the core whose career has only just started.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
  • SHAHID KAPOOR'S WORKOUTS ROUTINES
  • SHAHID KAPOOR'S LIFESTYLE
  • SHAHID KAPOOR'S BODYbuilding SECRETS





I surely make it a point to exercise on the treadmill at least 15 minutes daily. I also try and workout one part of the body each day and if I am lucky enough to have time, I workout two parts, SHAHID says.


  • Exercise:


 Seems obvious, but to achieve a chiseled body like Shahid kapoor, you need to be extremely regular at the gym. And each workout has to be a challenging workout. At Shahid Kapoor�s level of fitness, making a challenging workout is even tougher. He needs to make sure that he grows or maintains his current muscle while keeping his body fat minimum. A fine balance between cardiovascular exercise and weight training is needed to get that chiseled body.

  • Nutrition:



 Besides, challenging and regular workouts, its important to be on an extremely calculated nutrition plan; Calculated to ensure the right combination of protein, carbohydrates, and fats. Along with the right combination, timing of nutrition is extremely important. Ensuring you get the right breakfast, pre workout snack, post workout snack, and meals through the day.



  • Supplements:


 It doesn�t seem obvious to most people, but you definitely need some supplements to get that muscled, and have such low body fat content. Creatine is a very common supplement that most muscular guys take. Read all about creatine monohydrate. Besides creatine, Shahid kapoor happens to be a vegetarian, so he must take whey protein supplements, to ensure he gets enough protein in his diet.


Shahid has candidly admitted that he finds it difficult to maintain his physique while on a vegetarian diet. But that the same time, he is more than willing to walk that extra distance because of his hate for meat. �My body doesn�t get animal protein so I have to make up for the loss of it,� he admits. He further adds, �Maintaining a six-pack is damn difficult. You need a lot of motivation and a lot of dedication for it. But thank God, I have plenty of it.�
Shahid�s online fitness video, which features his trainer Abbas Ali became a rage among his fans and other fitness freaks. The seven part video elaborates how Shahid maintains his fitness levels despite being on a vegetarian diet. So if you are worried about your vegetariandiet and still dreaming to have six-pack abs, here�s your way out,� he adds.
Shahid considers Salman Khan  and Deepika Padukone to be the most fit male and female actor respectively in Bollywood.
