Stay tuned for a Mother’s Day weekend special I’ll share more about at the end of this podcast. OK, let’s talk your daughter’s fitness. Resent Research In a recent study among female young adults, 8 weeks of endurance training vs. circuit weight training resulted in similar changes in cardiovascular risk factors including body composition, skinfold measurements, and cholesterol levels. Both programs were designed for the individual’s current fitness status before the program applying appropriate load and progression. Each subject group did three workouts a week of either endurance or circuit weight training. Results showed positive and no significant difference for either group. For young adults struggling to make exercise a habit, participation in the activity based on person preference is most important and no detriment to health and fitness. Genetic predisposition can influence an individual’s response to an activity. A personal preference probably reflects that DNA predisposition and therefore result in easier adoption of a fitness routine. DNA Testing for Yours or Your Daughter’s Fitness [You can test your predisposition for both exercise that will reap you the quickest fitness rewards and learn more about your recovery needs and whether you do best with high fat, carb or protein. I personally am genetically predisposed to do best with a slightly higher carb intake and endurance exercise. It doesn’t mean I don’t strength train or that I eat high carb all the time. I still use information on my hormone status. I just have a more complete picture and sometimes doing the things I need to do is easier because I’ve seen it right there in test results. If you’re curious about DNA testing for yourself and how it can inform your habits whether you do it with coaching or not] Strength training is important for young women who want to gain bone density benefits that will sustain them for life. Priority should be given to the activity that your daughter likes first. Establish a habit and start feeling strong and confident in her body, then focus on addition activities that balance her overall fitness. Her Love or Her Need? So if she loves running or cardio classes? Let her enjoy them. Encourage it. And help her set some goals for participation over 8 weeks. In the study subjects did 3 workouts a week of either endurance training or circuit weight training. That’s a reasonable not crazy schedule. Accomplishment of a goal – maybe preparing for a race, or a virtual race  - or simply participation goal she sets and cares about will give her confidence to add another layer. Right now- doing some training with a friend from college or at work when she’s not at work can help a social butterfly connect in a meaningful way too. So w
