HIIT run workouts: interval #1
If you love to run, as I do, then I think you’ll enjoy this new workout series I’m calling HIIT Run Workouts.
You’re probably always on the lookout for new ways to switch things up and keep your runs interesting. Variety is really important to keep your workouts fresh and inspiring.
To kick off this simple and effective HIIT run workout series, I’ve combined running with some simple, classic bodyweight exercises.
The beauty of this workout is that it can be done anywhere: at home, at your favourite running spot like the beach, or at the gym.
Even better, if you’re not a runner, this is still a great workout for you – walk instead.
The workout is on the pin image below, so you can save it to your phone and have it handy whenever you need it.

The best exercise for women over 50
These are the two questions I get asked most often about exercise. What’s the most effective exercise for weight loss? And, what is the best type of exercise for older women?
The answer I always give is that it depends! The best exercise for any goal is the right combination that works for YOU. That’s not a copout, it’s simply the truth.
A lot of experts will tell you that you have to change things up once you’re over 40, or over 50. There’s a common belief that what used to work for you won’t work anymore, now that you’ve reached a “certain age”.
The thing is, you should always be changing and evolving your workouts if you want to make progress, no matter how old you are.

Keep it simple, with plenty of variety
As everyone in the Wendy’s Way community knows, I’m a big believer in keeping things as simple as possible, and exercise is no different.
Don’t over complicate it, if you don’t need to! Yes, strength training is important, but having some aerobic fitness is helpful too.
Flexibility and balance are also pretty handy. The most important thing though, is to find a combination of activities that you enjoy doing.
The bottom line is: if you don’t enjoy it, you won’t keep doing it and consistency is the key to results.
