Swim and Strength
Escape the heat and not your workout with this month’s swim and strength routine. This total-body metabolic workout has you getting in (and out) of the pool for a dry land/swim combo guaranteed to tone your muscles and burn lots of calories. It requires minimum equipment and maximum effort, and people of any fitness and swim level (beginner through advanced) can soak up the cardio and strength benefits that this workout yields.
Race Ready Cardio
With the arrival of summer and fall comes racing season. Marathons (half and full), triathlons, obstacle course races (Spartan, ToughMudder, Rugged Maniac) abound, and if you’re planning to race in one of these, you need to make sure your cardio and your legs are strong enough to get you to the finish line. This workout uses six different cardio machines and is designed to challenge and strengthen your legs and core to keep you going even when the going gets tough.
Preparing for the “Murph” Challenge

Improve Your Diet and Limit the Lectins

Americans have spent billions of dollars on gluten-free diets to protect our health, but what if we’ve been missing the root of the problem? Gluten is just one variety of a common — and highly toxic — plant-based protein called lectin.
Beat the Trainer Challenge: Full Body Madness
We’re upping the ante with this month’s workout, so we hope you’re ready to step up (and row, dip, and mountain climb)! Start with cardio, perform 3-5 rounds of these four basic gym moves on the versatile Freemotion Step machine, and finish off with another round of cardio for a full-body workout that will hit every major muscle group. Care to raise the stakes? Challenge yourself, your buddy, or, if you’re feeling bold, try to beat a ClubSport personal trainer by seeing how quickly you can complete our strength-building block. Remember, however, that proper form is more important than speed, so make sure you can perform each movement soundly before attempting the challenge in order to avoid injury. Complete the workout, take the challenge, or do both!

But at 53 years old, as a mother of two with a very stressful job that required lots of travel and commuting, I found myself with 20 pounds too much. Unable to lose the weight on my own, I knew I had to do something different.
