9 Fitness Swaps

(I adapted this post from tumblrgym)

These 9 fitness swaps will lead to major changes.

  1. Planks for crunches. Planks work your entire core.
  2. Interval workout for a relaxed run. Twenty minutes of sprinting with some walking recovery will kick up the heat even more than a slow pace run.
  3. Incline for flat treadmill. Crank up the incline and feel the muscle-building burn!
  4. Free weights for machines. Skip the big machines and pick up the free weights. They’re more versatile and allow for a full range of motion in the joints.
  5. Pull-ups for bicep curls. Pull-ups are not only impressive but they work more than one muscle.
  6. Squats for leg press. Amp up your training session by doing squats to strengthen all the leg muscles (including your butt)!
  7. Rowing for biking. Take advantage of the rowing machine instead of the bike; it’s a super upper and lower body exercise.
  8. Stairs for escalator. We’ve heard the tip a million times, climb the stairs to burn some extra calories.
  9. Homemade post-workout snack for a protein bar. Bring a PB&J or another post-workout snack to the gym rather than buying a protein bar. You need some after exercise fuel, but don’t get it in the form of excess sugar!
