Ideal Workout for You #5: Are you a multi-tasker?

Ideal Workout for You #5: Are you a multi-tasker?
Try: Interval training
We've all been there. On your morning commute to work, you are eating your breakfast, calling the credit card company to dispute your bill and putting on your last bit of mascara. It seems that multi-tasking is sometimes the only way to make it through the day. For some, this is the best way to function and the only way to fit everything into the mere 24 hours we get each day.

If you live to multi-task, try interval training for your workout. Intervals are defined as variations in the intensity and type of exercise you are doing. It is typically short bursts of strenuous exercise followed by a short rest period; however, you can really create any type of interval program that you desire.

For an excellent interval workout that you can be customized to your favorite form of exercise, check out this great article and plan on WebMD. Another option would be to alternate your cardio bursts with strength building exercise, such as push ups or moves with dumbbells or weight machines if available. Try out the 100 workout from fellow blogger Marissa on Loser for Life.
