WE COULD SEE A COUPLE SHOWERS DEVELOP FRIDAY.
JENNIFER: THANKS, TAYLOR.
IT'S TIME FOR 11 FITNESS.
JOINING US THIS MORNING, TEDDY SAVAGE FROM PLANET FITNESS.
I KNOW YOU'LL WAKE US UP THIS MORNING.
GOOD MORNING.
>> GOOD MORNING, JEN.
I'M GOING TO WAKE YOU UP, BETTER THAN YOUR BEST CUP OF COFFEE,
RIGHT?
I'M GOING TO SHOW YOU THAT FEBRUARY IS NOT JUST FOR THE
LOVERS.
IT'S ALSO HEART HEALTH MONTH.
SO I'M GOING TO SHOW EVERYBODY SOME GREAT HIGH INTENSITY
INTERVAL TRAINING EXERCISES THAT INCREASE THAT HEART RATE THAT
HELP YOU HAVE A STRONGER HEART, RIGHT?
JENNIFER: THAT'S LIKE HIIP TRAINING.
I'M READY.
>> THE HIIT TRAINING IS A GREAT WAY TO GET POSITIVE STRESS ON
THE HEART, GET THE BODY MOVING AND HAVE FUN.
THE FIRST MOVEMENT IS RUNNING IN PLACE.
I'VE GOT A MEDICINE BALL TO SYMBOLIZE MY HEART.
IF YOU'RE AT HOME, PICK UP A BALL LIKE I HAVE OR A PILLOW.
THIS ADDS POSITIVE STRESS TO THE MOVEMENT TO GIVE MY BPMS OR MY
BEATS PER MINUTE INCREASE.
STOP.
FIRST CARDIO FACT IS THIS.
CARDIO HAS BEEN SHOWN TO HELP LOWER BLOOD PRESSURE AND
CHOLESTEROL, REDUCE PLAQUE AND INCREASE BLOOD FLOW.
IF YOU HAVE ISSUES WITH THOSE THINGS, GET THE BODY MOVING.
OUR SECOND EXERCISE, JEN, IS GOING TOR HEART JACKS.
I'VE GOT MY HEART HERE, PUMPING IT TOWARDS YOU.
YOU PUMP IT TOWARDS ME.
WE'RE JACKING OUR FEET OUT AND IN.
YOU CAN MODIFY IF YOU WANT TO SAFEGUARD AGAINST IMPACT OF THE
LOWER BODY EXTREMITIES.
CARDIO FACT NUMBER 2.
WHEN YOU MOVE GOOD, YOU FEEL GOOD.
STUDIES HAVE SHOWN WHEN YOU HAVE CARDIOVASCULAR EXERCISE, YOUR
BRAIN RELEASES SEROTONIN, DOPAMINE AND ENDORPHINS THAT
HELPS YOU FEEL BETTER AND INCREASES THE MENTAL
DISPOSITION.
WHEN YOU MOVE GOOD, YOU'RE FEELING GOOD TOO.
JEN, THIS ONE IS FOR YOU.
THIS IS GOING TO BE LATERAL BOUNCE INTO A COURTESY LUNGE.
WE'LL DROP THE HEART DOWN TO THE HIP POCKET, KEEPING CHEST,
SHOULDERS AND EYES FORWARD.
FEBRUARY IS NOT JUST FOR THE LOVERS.
GUESS WHAT?
STUDIES HAVE SHOWN THAT CARDIOVASCULAR EXERCISE HAS BEEN
LINKED TO A STRONGER BOND BETWEEN PARTNERS AND INCREASED
LEVELS OF SATISFACTION IN RELATIONSHIPS.
SO IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR THE BEST DATE NIGHT, GET UP AND GET
MOVING TOGETHER.
THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT.
LAST ONE.
THE SPICY ONE.
YOU KNOW I LIKE TO GET SAUCY, JEN.
WE'LL GOR TO JUMP AND SQUAT AND HOLD THE HEART OUT IN THE SQUAT
HOLD MAKING SURE THE HEELS ARE FLAT, BUTT IS BACK AND CHEST AND
EYES UP.
WHEN I GO DOWN, I'M GOING TO KEEP TENSION ON MY MUSCLES BUT
ALSO GOING TO EXPRESS POSITIVE ENERGY LIKE LOVE, PEACE AND JOY.
AND THAT'S WHAT PLANET IS ALL ABOUT.
SO REMEMBER, IF YOU WANT TO GET THE HEART HEALTH INCREASED,
FEBRUARY IS THE MONTH TO DO IT BECAUSE IT'S NOT JUST FOR THE
LOVERS.
IT'S ALSO FOR HEART HEALTH.
JENNIFER: YOU HAVE NOTHING BUT POSITIVITY.
YOU'RE ALWAYS THE MOST POSITIVE PERSON I KNOW.
LISTEN, IF SOMEONE WANTS TO MAKE A CHANGE IN THEIR LIFE, IT
STARTS WITH THE SMALL HABIT CHANGES.
DO YOU HAVE ANY TIPS FOR PEOPLE TO START WITH MAYBE ONE THING A
DAY THAT THEY SHOULD DO?
>> YES.
AND WHAT I WOULD SAY IS THIS.
HABIT STACKING IS THE WAY TO BREAD CRUM YOUR WAY TO ULTIMATE
SUCCESS.
FIND MIGHTY MOMENTS THROUGHOUT YOUR DAY TO GET YOUR BODY
MOVING.
THOSE MOMENTS COULD BE WHILE BRUSHING TEETH, DO CALF RACES.
IN THE MORNING, WHILE FLIPPING YOUR OMELETTE OVER, DO BODY
WEIGHT SQUATS.
IF YOU'RE SITTING IN FRONT OF YOUR LAPTOP WORKING FROM HOME,
DO A COUPLE OF HINGES, JUST TO GET YOUR BODY MOVING.
AND AS YOU DO THOSE SMALL, MIGHTY MOMENTS, IT WILL EQUAL
HUGE RESULTS IN THE END.
JENNIFER: I'VE DOING THE CALF LIFTS AS WE SPEAK.
YOU'RE DOING YOUR UNITED MOVE CLASSES, RIGHT?
>> ABSOLUTELY.
UNITED WE MOVE IS THE WAY TO BRING FITNESS TO YOU.
MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY, 7:00 P.M.

FIND THEM ALL THERE.
JENNIFER: TEDDY, THANK YOU S
