STAY FIT IN THE COLD
Get reacquainted with your treadmill this month. What better way to boost your mood while getting a jump-start on spring training? While marathon-training runs aren't well suited for treadmills, shorter and more intense runs are. Some people are turned off from treadmills because of the monotonous lack of scenery. If this is you, mix it up by adding abdominal circuits to your workout. Try some of these training techniques next time you're in the gym...
Beginners -
10 minutes at medium pace with 15 crunches after run...x3
Intermediate -
15 minutes at medium pace with 25 crunches after run...x3
Advanced -
15 minutes at fast pace with 30 crunches after run...x3


PRACTICE PATIENCE
Remember above all that you exercise because it is fun. If you are gearing up your quads for a ski trip, or just getting in shape early for spring, the point is to enhance your enjoyment once you get there. That being said, don't get upset if you are feeling the common aches and pains of first time exercise after a long winters nap. Set short-term goals in order to get back into shape. Dwelling on how far you have slipped from your ideal fighting shape is pointless and non-progressive. You will be surprised at just how fast your body responds to quick, repetitive workouts. Give yourself 2-3 weeks of regular gym workouts (3-5/week) and you will see a noticeable difference in your fitness level. This is also a great time to wean yourself off of winter cookies and start introducing some healthy alternatives to your diet.
There is no substitute for a motivated athlete who approaches their season with an optimistic outlook and a realistic plan for reaching their goals. Make no mistake; a regular workout schedule combined with 3rd party advice can be an invaluable asset to your training, whatever your goals are. Talk to one of your local trainers about what you are trying to achieve and what suggestions they may have for you.
A good trainer will want to help you succeed, because ultimately your success is proof of their success.
