The man who Mark Wahlberg recently called “the greatest trainer in the world” shares five exercises that will prime you for any activity   When it comes to fitness Gunnar Peterson knows what he’s talking about. The man Mark Wahlberg recently referred to as “the greatest trainer in the world” has been involved in the fitness industry for nearly three decades, is F45’s chief of athletics and has had the likes of Sylvester Stallone, Tom Brady and Mike Tyson pumping iron at his exclusive Beverly Hills gym. Peterson’s clients train in luxury, at a place where every piece of equipment imaginable is available and the world’s greatest trainer is on hand to show you how to use it.

This is a Quick Training Tip, the best chance to learn how to work in a smarter way so that you get the maximum gains in the least possible time. If you only do straight sets in your gym then you will get average results. The drill to follow: Do one set of an exercise, after which rest, and repeat. This is the best formula for anyone who wants some good amount of gains that is going to be noticeable. Straight sets are more or less effective because the target is only on a single kind of muscle fiber. This is the place where drop sets come in. Also commonly called as the descending sets, strip sets, or simply as “running the rack,” The drop sets is a technique in which one performs multiple sets of a particular exercise using successively lighter loads and at the same time bare minimal to no rest. In doing so, one not only fatigues both types of muscle fibers that are present in our body but also helps to increase the training volume as well as the target muscle’s time under tension and metabolic stress. All of these factors can crank up muscle growth. […]

5 Life-Saving Tips for Cold-Weather Training

by admin in Workouts 0 comments
Keep your body in tip-top shape when training outdoors during the winter. Cold-weather training is common among hockey players, skiers, snow boarders, and winter-sport endurance athletes. Battling the elements during training or competition can wreak havoc on your body and reduce your ability to perform at your highest level if the proper precautions are not taken. Preventing cold weather injuries and training effects should be of primary importance, especially as the temperature drops below freezing. Tolerance to cold-weather training is much more difficult for the body, compared to hot-weather training. Heat is lost more readily via convective heat transfer from the skin, and the body has more difficulty maintaining its internal temperature in these conditions. Fitter athletes have an easier time maintaining a given exercise intensity and higher rates of metabolic heat production in colder weather than their unfit counterparts; but if heat loss exceeds heat production, the overall body heat content decreases, and peripheral and core body temperatures start to decline. If the body’s internal temperature drops below 35°C (95°F), hypothermia can develop, which can result in shivering, confusion, fatigue, and slurred speech. Reductions in internal body temperature can result in abnormal cardiac rhythms and eventually death. Freezing injuries, […]

13 Ways of Staying Fit When There’s No Time to Exercise

by admin in Healthy Living 0 comments
While looking at an article by a leading fitness guru, I was struck by her emphasis on making exercise a priority and finding a way to fit in your gym time at any cost. Although she’s right in principle, those of us who are balancing multiple roles — as parent, worker, spouse, volunteer, household manager, etc. — often find that 24 hours per day simply aren’t enough. Fitness gets put on the back burner. Even if you’re lucky enough to be able to set aside time to work out, things like school holidays, childhood illnesses, and workday crises have a way of eating up these extra hours along with our best intentions. You may not have time to go to the gym, but you can still be physically active and boost your metabolism by using a bit of creativity in planning your day. During a recent week when my kids were sidelined by a nasty cold, I started thinking about ways to be physically active when going to the gym was out of the question. I also asked some personal trainers for their advice. We came up with the following ways to fit exercise into a packed-full day: If you’ve […]
