Every morning I wake up knowing what that day’s exercise is going to be (assuming my kids don’t have the flu, like this week). I aim for five days of exercise, alternating between yoga, weight training, and walk/running.

wokrout everyday FitLinks: Why You Dont Need To Workout Everyday To Stay Fit While staying active every day is a great idea, sometimes it just isn’t viable given busy schedules and long work days. Luckily, more and more research shows, such as in the article we’re featuring this week from the NY Times, that working out intensely a couple of times a week can give you equitable benefits in fat loss or muscle gain. If you make the most of them, 3-4 really strong workouts a week should be able to keep you in the shape you want.

Of course, working out won’t be as effective without proper nutrition and a focus on health, so we have some articles both about tips on maintaining a healthy diet – even on a budget – and healthier meals when eating out, as well as a new study on what you might be able to do in order to get more sleep.

Please Note: The articles and videos listed below are informative, popular, newsworthy, or a combination of all three. Just because we have included an article within FitLinks does not necessarily mean that BuiltLean supports, or agrees with its contents or views. If you have a question about our position on any article, please leave a comment and we will be happy to respond!
