Create your mini-gym for next to nothing. 

 

"Laurie Miller has found that without motivation, a room full of expensive equipment is rarely used." "The first three items I suggest for a home gym is a deck of cards, timer or clock and a notebook," says Miller, owner of Crossfit St. Louis. 

 

"She recommends shuffling the deck, flipping over a card at a time and assigning an exercise to each suit. Time yourself to see how long it takes to get through half a deck, record your workouts in a notebook and see if you can beat your times. Do the same workout or mix it up.

5 Minutes of Strain..

The lack-of-time excuse is left in a trail of sweat.

“If you've ever found yourself putting off working out because you don't have time, Elizabeth Wehrle has got a workout for you.  Wehrle, a St. Louis personal trainer, says, "Anything is better than nothing. And even if you have only 15 minutes, this workout will definitely get you sweating. It also has a strength component, working the upper and lower body and the core."”  ~Originally published in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, Feb. 23, 2008

 

 

ONLY THE FITTEST SURVIVE Grueling CrossFit routines increase strength, stamina, conditioning.

“I have run five marathons, countless half-marathons and once hiked 24 miles into the Grand Canyon and back out with temperatures hovering near 120 degrees. Each time, my muscles recovered more quickly than they did after a 45-minute CrossFit session."

“Trainer Laurie Miller would laugh later and tell me: "I promise, it won't feel like that forever. You get used to it."  ~Originally published in the St. Louis Post Dispatch, Sept 2007
