Circuit Training Page 52

How to gain strength, muscular endurance, cardiovascular
endurance, flexibility - while strengthening your heart, reducing
body fat, improving strength, and improving muscle tone. IN ONE
SHOT! Do it in less than a half hour. How? Try circuit training.

Circuit training means working one set of muscles after
another through repetitive exercise. For a good way to improve
total body fitness aim for one exercise for the chest, upper
back, lower back, abs, front thighs, rear thighs, calves, biceps,
and triceps. Lots of gyms have the equipment you'll need and you
can get started right away. Don't do too much at once and try and
keep a 1:1 ratio of exercise and rest. Work up to a 30 minute workout and
finish with a 10 minute cool down.

Circuit training won't prepare you to bench press 300 pounds,
or run the marathon but remember bodybuilders don't have such
great cardiovascular fitness, and long-distance runners are short
on strength.

You can have it all.

SNOWBOARDING Page 74

Snowboarding sounds dangerous, difficult, and too cool for
anyone over age 25. But snowboarding is no more risky than skiing and one
quarter of the 2 million Americans who've tried it are more than 25.
If you take lessons and learn it right it's easy say the instructors.
Train your muscles for snowboarding by skateboarding, surfing,
mountain biking or in-lining. Build up your quadriceps, abs, and
do neck stretches. Falling is inevitable regardless of what the
cheerful instructors say, so keep your hands balled into a fist to
lessen the chance of breaking a wrist.
Grab your gear and a board that's right for you, freestyle or
race, and get on the slopes. You'll be hooked.
