by admin in Workouts 0 comments
As we head towards Christmas, many will be considering getting a head start on their New Year fitness resolutions. However, with snow and ice guaranteed for many states throughout December, it is important take safety into consideration when exercising outdoors. Matthew Magnante, an exercise author at FitnessVolt, has compiled a list of his most important safety tips to keep in mind when exercising outdoors during the colder months.   Drink even if you don’t feel thirsty Many may not realise this, but we are at an elevated risk of dehydration when exercising in colder temperatures. When it is cold, our blood vessels constrict to reduce the amount of heat lost through our skin, as a way of maintaining our core body temperature. During this process a hormone called plasma arginine vasopressin (AVP) that normally signals thirst, is secreted at a lower rate than when exercising in hot weather. This explains why you might find yourself craving water less when exercising in winter. Research has found that exposure to cold weather can reduce our thirst sensation by as much as 40%. To prevent dehydration, continue to drink water as you would during summer and opt for a glass of water before […]

Best Lifting Routine for Skinny Guys

by admin in Workouts 0 comments
If you are a taller, skinnier guy, and putting on muscle has always been an issue, then I’d recommend phasing your workouts. It’s too easy for us to get caught up doing the same routine over and over, and expecting new results. Don’t get me wrong, certain main lifts like squat, deadlift, and overhead press should definitely be staples, but the slower our progression in weights starts to come, the bigger emphasis on quality programming. For today’s focus, I wanna shed light on a more strength based routine that maximizes strength and power. I think too many skinny guys think they need the crazy crazy volume like they see the bodybuilders doing. While yes, there may be a place and time for that, when you are just starting out, you want to focus on the basics. Get REALLY good at the main lifts, as those recruit the most amount of muscles. Gearing towards a more strength based approach allows you to do less reps, and therefore create high high amounts of tension. This activates your central nervous system to recruit as many muscle fibers as it can, and over time makes it more and more efficient at firing them quicker. […]
