Refresh Your Workout by Changing Things Up

Change can be an exciting thing when it comes to working out. Making slight shifts can introduce you to new things, present interesting challenges, and make old routines seem new again. Our bodies are very efficient and will adapt to any exercise routine in approximately four to six weeks. At that point, the body needs to be challenged again. Here are some ideas for spicing up your workout with an element of change.
Dynamic Exercise, Consistent Excitement
To change up a weight-training program, vary the sets in your routine by volume, time, and reps every three to four weeks. Likewise, exercises for your cardiovascular system need to be varied to maintain excitement and sustain motivation. We've been taught to perform cardiovascular exercise for 20 to 30 minutes at a target heart rate of 60% to 80% to lose fat.
Interval Training Maintains Metabolism
Exercise scientists have discovered a method called interval training to keep the metabolism revved up. It works by increasing intensity level in small increments over time. Interval training can be done with a bike, elliptical machine, treadmill, or by walking or jogging outdoors. If you're running on a treadmill at home or at the gym, increase the speed or the incline (or both) for a higher intensity level. Here's an example of increasing intensity by intervals:

Begin with a five-minute warm-up at an intensity level of 3.
On the sixth minute, increase the intensity to level 4.
On the seventh minute, increase to level 5.
On the eighth minute, increase to level 6 or 7.
Then, for the next two minutes, return to level 3.
Repeat the whole cycle twice more and end with a five-minute cooldown at level 3.
Total workout time (including warm-up and cooldown) is 25 minutes.

You can also switch up your cardio plan with three weeks of interval training, followed by another three weeks of longer-duration, moderate cardio. With interval training, you can efficiently increase your metabolism and keep it increased during the next 24 hours without working out for long periods of time.
Look at change as an ally to success with your fitness goals. Don't settle for anything dull and boring when it comes to exercise. Get into a rhythm of shifting your routine every three to four weeks, and enjoy!

Miguel Arrested on Suspicion of Driving Under Influence of Alcohol (DUI)

Miguel has been arrested in Los Angeles for driving under influence of alcohol. A spokesperson for California Highway Patrol Corina Munoz told Los Angeles Times that an officer pulled over Miguel's car on early Thursday morning, August 15, in the intersection of Lincoln Boulevard and Mindaneo Way.

He was originally pulled over because of speed violation and illegal tinted windows, but the officer noticed the smell of alcohol and performed some field sobriety tests. The Grammy-winning R'n'B singer failed the tests. He also took a breathalyzer test and blew 0.10, which is over the legal limit of .08.

Miguel, who collaborated with Mariah Carey in "#Beautiful", was taken into custody and released a few hours later after posting $5,000 bail. His court appearance has been scheduled for September.

The 27-year-old singer is currently nominated for two MTV Music Video Awards. Besides receiving nomination in Best Hip-Hop Video category for his work in J. Cole's video "Powertrip", he is nominated for Best Video with a Social Message through his hit "Candle in the Sun".

Scotish DJ,Calvin Harris Tops Forbes' List of Highest Paid DJs

Scottish DJ Calvin Harris tops Forbes' Highest Paid DJs List after earning an estimated $46 million over the past 12 months coming mostly from live performances on the road and including income from endorsements, production deals and song royalties. It's considered an astonishing feat since the 29-year-old record producer didn't even make it to last year's list when Forbes compiled it for the first time.

Now his estimated earnings were more than enough to take the No. 1 spot from last year's highest paid DJ Tiesto, who despite improving his annual earnings from $22 million to $32 million could only manage second place. Even the third and fourth highest paid EDM acts this year overshadowed the Dutch DJ's previous $22 million pay packet with French DJ David Guetta pulling in $30 million and Swedish House Mafia bringing in $25 million.

As expected, the other top EDM acts/DJs also made it to the coveted list, with Deadmau5 making it to No. 5 with $21 million and Swedish DJ Avicii trailing close at No. 6 with $20 million. The rest of the list was likewise closely contested with a million dollars separating them from one another: Afrojack with $18 million, Armin van Buuren with $17 million, Skrillex and Kaskade each with 16 million.

Just outside the top ten at No. 11 is Steve Aoki with $14 million while rounding up the top 12 money makers is "Jersey Shore" cast member DJ Pauly D who made $13 million from his career as a DJ, something that he was already doing before he starred on the hit reality TV show.
