Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
Tips for running uphill:
-Run on your toes.
-Pump your arms vigorously.
-Drive your knees upwards. You want your foot to hit at about a 90 degree angle as you go up the hill.
-Breathe in your nose and out your mouth. Try to regulate it into a slow, relaxed, rhythm.
-Relax your shoulders- they’re probably going to be tensed up.
GO!!! :)

This is a great visual of fat and muscle!
Notice how although both are the same weight, the muscle is much smaller? That’s because muscle is denser than fat. Muscle is also metabolically active tissue.
Metabolic rate is determined by the amount of fat-free mass in your body. Fat-free Mass (FFM) is made up of internal organs, muscle, and bone. So basically, the more muscle you have, the higher your metabolic rate will be. That’s one of the reasons why weight training is very important to overall fat-reduction. A higher metabolic rate = more calories burned, which makes it easier to lose body fat! (That’s a simplified explanation, but you get the idea!). =)

Inverted Table Raise
- Sit on the floor with your legs extended hip-width apart, knees bent, feet flat on the floor, and hands on the floor behind you, fingers pointing toward your butt.
- Raise your hips and butt and straighten your arms so your torso and thighs are parallel to the floor, supporting your upper body with stable shoulders. Pause, then return to start. That’s one rep.
Sets: 3 Reps: 10
Doing jump rope for 2-5 minutes a day could: Improve your stamina, flexibility, co-ordination, balance, rhythm and symmetry. It builds up and tones your thighs, calves, hips and booty! It also increases levels of calcium, preventing osteoporosis! Skipping burns about 200 calories in just fifteen minutes!
Love it!
