I know, I know…two blogs in a row that are not geeky. I am giving you all a break from the usual technology based blog that I write. So it's Monday morning once again and I am up at 4:40 am to get to the gym before I am off to work. That may seem like an atrocious hour of the morning to a lot of you but for me it has become a routine. I do it nearly every weekday morning with an occasional Friday exception. Then I try to get in at least a good long walk on Saturday and Sunday. Yes, fitness is an important aspect of my life. Healthy body, healthy mind. My workout schedule consists of at least 4-5 days of cardio and 2-3 days of weight training. As a woman, weight training is particularly important. A lot of women don’t know this or really understand why. One reason is that ts increases bone density which decreases the chance of osteoporosis. It also increases the metabolism much more than cardio alone, which helps in maintaining or losing weight. Keep this in mind next time you workout ladies! Yes, fitness and nutrition is another one of my passions. I’m a geek at heart but love my daily workout too. What do you do to maintain a healthy body?
