Get your cardio on- This is the most important part of the workout, it not only gets your blood moving but it also can improve endurance, stamina, and overall health. Joe recommends "running, cycling (road, mountain, classes, or simply a regular stationary bike), or various aerobic classes such as dance classes and hiking."

He says that you are going to want to get a good 20 minutes in of cardio after starting with a 5 to 10 minute warm-up.

Build that muscle- A lot of people might not know this but the more muscle that you have on your body the more calories that you are likely to burn. Dr. Horrigan explains that to get that arena ready body you should perform some strength training. "Bodyweight squats, push-ups, and sit-ups all performed in a circuit," he reveals. "You can also add jumping rope. If you can do any of these exercises for 20 minutes at high intensity, you will see results.

Try yoga on an off day- Yoga helps to stretch the body and it will also drastically improve flexibility. "We did a very low intensity workout with very low volume to let her body recover once or twice a week," Horrigan explains; adding that some of the poses he incorporated into the workout were sun salute, reverse warrior, chair pose, plank, and tree pose.

Stay consistent and mix it up- The key to seeing results is to stay at it. By doing high intensity workouts a few times a week the body will start to show signs of improvement. The workout expert states that mixing up the workout routine is a good way not to get bored. Maybe try cardio one day, do strength training the next and then add some yoga into the mix the following day. This way you will fight the bodies urges of boredom as well as plateauing.

Think like Jen- Working out can be very tiresome, hey, we even get tired just thinking about going to the gym. If the gym time blues ever hit you Dr. Horrigen says to channel Jen's atitude. Jennifer was an utmost professional. She was never late. She never missed a workout. She never complained. She did everything that was asked of her and she usually did so with a smile."
