It's just about that time of year again-the snow's melting off the trees (in some parts of the country), the sun's starting to peek out from behind the clouds, and the birds are starting to make the first legs of their long trip north. With all that life in bloom it's hard to resist the urge to spend your days luxuriating in the crisp newness of spring. But don't let your need to be out in the great outdoors bring your strength training program to a grinding halt.
It happens to all of us. We spend the dark, gloomy winter in the gym, spinning on artificial treadmills and pumping iron. When spring gets here we just want to be out, and as a result we often find ourselves neglecting the strength training portion of our training programs. Walking, biking, hiking and running are so much more appealing in warm weather than sitting around in a gym breathing recycled air, and before you know it your well rounded strength and cardio program is leaning heavily on the cardio and not so heavily on the strength.
Because cardio training isn't going to get the ball over the net any harder, it's important that you not let spring fever get the best of you and annihilate the benefits you worked so hard to build. Toss in a day or two in the gym, and add weights or other strength training devices to your cardio workout. No reason to sacrifice the sun just for the sake of building up those arm muscles! The important thing to remember is that strength training is important. Don't let yourself be lured away by the appeal of a pretty day.
