FORT MYERS, Fla. - Working out can be time consuming, and in some cases expensive. There are a lot of choices when it comes to fitness gadgets, diets, and routines, but is their a simple one that actually works? WINK News decided to find out.
Health Reporter Jennifer Stacy went to trainer James Vaughn, owner of "A New You Health and Fitness" in Ft. Myers. Vaughn says if you're looking to tone up, there's no need for expensive equipment or major time commitments. Instead, stick with a simple, but very effective workout Vaughn calls the "Perfect 10"--ten moves you can do in under 30 minutes.
Perfect 10 Workout
*Do 15-20 reps of each, using 5-10 pound weights, cans of soup, or anything that will offer resistance. Do one move after another without resting between to get cardio benefits.
Squats/Lunges
Push-ups
Sit-ups--use upper and lower abs
Shoulder Pulls
Skier Lunges
Shoulder Press
Arm raises
One Arm Row
Bicep Curls
Chair Dip
Vaughn recommends doing the Perfect 10 for a minimum of 4 days a week. Combine that with regular cardio workouts and a healthy diet low in calories and saturated fats.
"You're going to notice immediately that you'll have more energy," Says Vaughn. "You'll be able to do things you haven't been able to do before, you're clothes will start fitting you loosely as well."
