Kill your workout with a Bang. Doing two-a-day workouts helps me clear my mind of the day. After i finish my workouts i feel refreshed and motivated for the next day. 💪🏾 #fitgirltribe #armystrong #twoadays #bangenergy #toofittoquit #hiitworkout #cardio #nopainnogain #trainleaneatclean https://www.instagram.com/p/BmcV5JXgm0V/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1cr8ccnnjwyv9

Turns out there IS a difference when it comes to choosing between the two and how to get in your cardio. Here are my cliff notes for deciding which one works best for you. Elliptical -low impact which can be better for your joints -if you use one with handles it can engage the entire body -you can pedal backwards which will target different muscle groups -you can change the incline which will also change which muscle groups are targeted -you can change resistance to increase your overall level of effort Treadmill -the cushioned surface is better for your joints than the pavement -because of the lack of weather and terrain the conditions and footing are more consistent -it requires your feet to leave the ground which engages the core -it better mimics running (vs. the elliptical) -it has a weight bearing effect which means that it’ll help strengthen muscles and bones -you can change the incline and speed, some treadmills are programmable and can mimic race courses or environments like the Boston Marathon (even the downhill part!) -if you use a 1% incline that will give the same effect of running on a flat surface outside The most important thing is that either one will give you a great workout, so get to it and get that heart pumping! #cardio #treadmill #elliptical #workout #geterdone #raisethatheartrate #fitnessisfun #sweatisfatcrying #getfit #stayfit #toofittoquit

HEllLLLoooOOOOo…(Kind of annoyed today, because i already tried uploading this post, and it decided to not work:/ ) Anyways, regardless let me catch you up! I have be CRAZY busy this month, & my days are super long. I head straight to class, then right to work, then to the gym, then back to my apartment, where i try and make myself dinner and get some homework done, before i become a literal slave to my comfy bed. I am pretty proud of myself too, for not slacking at the gym, even though there are some days i am so tired i can barely think straight. Also- in the beginning of this month i challenged myself to work on getting definition back into my abs and arms, which i think are getting there pretty well! However, i have been feeling a little unsatisfied with my legs lately. Normally i take a spinning class a few times a week, but it conflicted with my work schedule so i haven’t been able to go. But I am SERIOUSLY going to figure out how i can still take the class during the week, because it makes a difference when it comes to my legs. Nutrition wise, i have been doing good! Lots of fruits, veggies, lentils, and soy protein during the week, and i let myself munch on a things a little higher in sugar on the weekends. Would i prefer lots of fresh fruit and veggies? OF course! Am i a college student, and frozen foods are more reasonably priced? yes :( but hey- its better than what most college kids have in their freezer. Anyways, My goal for this upcoming March is to keep going strong, and not let work and a hectic schedule get in the way of my health and nutrition goals. Just keep going Rory!!
