The Fitness Blog Week in Review for July 30 – August 3

It was a quiet and simple week here in the Fitness blog. Look for some serious ramp up next week as we get ready for the Back to School rush and tackle things like what you can do for your local P.E. programs and how to manage your fitness schedule around work, school and much more. In the meanwhile, let’s take a look at our week in review:

Monday, July 30th

U is for Uniforms and we all have our own specific fitness uniforms. They serve a dual purpose: making you comfortable while you work out and putting you in the right mind set to work out.

Tuesday, July 31st

In V is for VO2 Max we take a look at the measurement of oxygen consumption necessary to perform at a maximum effort. It’s a measurement of fitness and you can improve the VO2 Max if you lose a few pounds too.

Wednesday, August 1st

W is for Walking takes a look at walking, one of my favorite forms of fitness. Walking is a great sport and anyone can do it and there are any number of ways you can jazz up your walking routine and make the best of it.

Thursday, August 2nd

X is for eXtreme Fitness takes a look at what happens when you go to far with your fitness plans. In the case of fitness, moderation is your best course of action. If you do too much or you go to far, you are more likely to injure yourself or set yourself back.

Friday, August 3rd

Finally, we rounded off our week with Y is for Yoga and yes, it was the simple way out for the letter Y, but there are a lot of reasons to do yoga and a lot of benefits you reap from performing it.
