This is where at-home arm exercises come in handy.   Here are some effective arm exercises that you can do at home without any equipment:   Push-ups: Push-ups are a highly effective compound exercise that work on various muscle groups simultaneously, such as your chest, shoulders, triceps, and core. If you find push-ups challenging, start by doing modified push-ups on your knees, gradually working your way up to full push-ups. Tricep dips: To do this exercise, you’ll need a sturdy chair or bench. Sit on the edge of the chair with your hands gripping the edge, fingers pointing towards your feet.

10 ‘Workouts’ You’re Probably Already Doing Every Day

by admin in Workouts 0 comments
Exercise doesn’t always involve the gym — some common tasks and errands count, too.   Only 23% of US adults meet all the weekly exercise guidelines, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, despite understanding the health benefits of working out. So even though you know everyone should exercise regularly, chances are high that you have trouble motivating yourself to actually do it. So what gives? There are a lot of reasons that people don’t exercise more. You may be short on time or energy, or you may not have the equipment that you feel like you need. But while you might imagine sneakers, sports bras and weight benches when you think of “exercise,” you don’t have to hit the gym to meet the CDC’s guidelines for physical activity. In fact, the CDC’s 2018 National Health Statistics report, which contains that 23% statistic, doesn’t mention the word “exercise” once. Instead, it’s all about physical activity and movement — whether for work, play or by doctor’s orders. For most of human history, physical activity was incorporated into people’s daily lives in the form of labor and chores. These days, people spend a lot more time sitting still on couches, […]

What is intuitive eating and can it help you lose weight?

by admin in Healthy Living 0 comments
The first rule of intuitive eating is to reject the diet mentality, but its principles can still support healthy weight management. A dietitian explains how.   Diet trends can be really tempting. Whether you want to lose weight, boost your energy or just feel a little healthier, it can be difficult to resist the urge to jump on the latest viral diet plan. The problem is that fad diets just don’t work. In fact, the whole idea of “dieting” is flawed. According to the Endocrine Society, about 80% of people who lose weight will ultimately gain it back again. Regaining those pounds, particularly in a yo-yo dieting mode, not only interferes with your ability to maintain a healthy weight, it can take a toll on your physical and emotional health. One way to avoid these pitfalls is to ease up on traditional dieting and take a different tack. Intuitive eating is a realistic and reasonable approach to eating that eschews trends and encourages you to pay attention to what your body needs.   What is intuitive eating? Intuitive eating is a non-diet approach designed to help people who want to lose weight or change their relationship to food move beyond […]

Tips on how to maintain a healthy lifestyle while sticking to your budget

by admin in Healthy Living 0 comments
Rising costs and high inflation continue to take a toll on Maritimers’ wallets and their health. According to Naturopathic Doctor Joyce Johnson, people don’t have to spend a lot of money to optimize their health, even during these uncertain times. Johnson provides a number of tips on how to maintain a healthier lifestyle while sticking to your budget. Johnson says the best tool to eating healthy on a budget is meal planning. “Meal planning is making a grocery list of what you need, what’s on sale, there’s a lot of really great apps that you can put onto your phone that show all the sale flyers. So, you can get a little bit of a comparison and you can find what are your best prices, especially on things like dairy, and meat and protein,” she said during an interview with CTV Morning Live Atlantic Monday. Johnson also suggests “shopping your pantry first.” “So, go to your pantry before you go to the grocery store. See what some of the basics are that you have on-hand, what potatoes and starches you have. Do you have pasta? Do you have rice? These types of things. Look at your proteins, look at what’s […]
