  Who better than personal trainers (or Beachbody Coaches??) to know the best exercises (or programs) to get you in shape safely and effectively? The American Council on Exercise (ACE) recently conducted a survey of 1,000 ACE-certified personal trainers to get their advice regarding the best techniques to get fit. Here are their top three recommendations, which the ACE suggests combining with a healthy diet to achieve the best results:

Strength Training – Just 20 minutes of basic exercises, two days a week, will help firm and tone the whole body. Strength training will modestly increase metabolism, helping to burn more calories, even when you are resting.

A Beachbody solution here I can recommend would be any of the Power 90 series, up to and including P90X. “Sectional progression” training by master trainer, Tony Horton.

Interval Training – Lack of time is the number-one reason people give for not exercising regularly, and lack of results once they do start exercising isn’t far behind. Interval training is a great solution for both of these common complaints. Alternate short bursts of intense activity with what is called active recovery – typically a less-intense form of the original activity.

A Beachbody solution is to check out the new 10-Minute Trainer workouts by Tony Horton. Each workout is ten minutes, but action packed and extremely effective. There IS no “I don’t have time” excuse anymore!!

Increased Cardio/Aerobic Exercise – Aerobic exercise is any activity that uses large muscle groups in a continuous, rhythmic fashion for sustained periods of time. Walking is a weight-bearing aerobic exercise, as are jogging, rope-skipping and dance. There are also non-weight-bearing aerobic exercises such as bicycling, swimming and rowing.
