Next-level tips that will take your training and gains up a notch.   To create a more dominant frame that’s masculine, imposing, and—let’s admit it—irresistible to women, you need to train smart. Trashing your body in the gym may give you the size you’re looking for, but injuries and imbalances are always threatening. To ensure you’re making the most of your back workouts, Joel Seedman, Ph.D., exercise physiologist, athletic performance specialist, and owner of Advanced Human Performance in Atlanta, has outlined 7 of the most important things to remember when you’re putting in the hard work and sweat (so you can bypass the blood and tears).   1. Pull to your sternum on certain exercises “On all pullups, chinups, and lat pulldown variations, focus on pulling to your sternum rather than to your clavicle,” Seedman says. This minimizes activation in the lats, particularly the lower portion, because your shoulders and scapula aren’t able to pull down, completely, or rotate in toward your spine. “Pulling to your sternum, however, not only places your shoulders in the most biomechanically sound position, it also requires an incredible amount of lat activation,” Seedman says. This means greater growth.   2. Don’t touch the bar […]

While it is important to keep your body moving to keep your fitness goals in check and to remain active, following these easy tips will ensure that the heat does not affect your routine.   Tip 1 Early mornings or evenings are the ideal time for workout When temperatures are high, it is extremely important to avoid working out between 10 am and 4 pm. This is because working out in higher temperatures leads to more fluid loss and can stress the cardiovascular system. To avoid this, opt for early morning or late evening workouts when the sun’s intensity is less severe. Do not forget to sip water while working out.   Tip 2 Keep your body well hydrated during and after the workout Hydration is extremely important when it comes to working out and even more so when you’re exercising in the summer. Drink water before the workout and have a few sips every 15 minutes, even if you do not feel thirsty. Post-workout, it is important to replenish the lost electrolytes. […]

Do Gym Injuries Increase in Winter? Expert Shares Key Insights on Cold Season Fitness Risks

by admin in Workouts 0 comments
Dr Debashish Chanda, an orthopaedic expert, shares insights on why gym injuries may rise in winter and how to avoid them with proper preparation and technique.   As the winter season settles in, many fitness enthusiasts flock to the gym to burn off the extra calories from holiday indulgence or to start fresh with New Year’s fitness resolutions. However, with the cold weather, comes a concern: Do gym injuries increase in winter? According to Dr Debashish Chanda, Lead Consultant in Orthopaedics and Joint Replacement at CK Birla Hospital Gurugram, there are indeed some specific risks to consider during colder months, but with proper precautions, injuries can be minimised.   The Risk of Winter Workouts “During winter, the muscles and joints tend to become stiffer,” says Dr Chanda. “When it’s cold, your body temperature drops, and as a result, your muscles lose their flexibility and flow. This can increase the risk of muscle strains, joint pain, and other injuries.” The expert further explains that the cold weather makes it essential to warm up properly before starting any workout. “It is particularly important to stretch and warm up well during winter to ensure that your body is ready for the physical strain […]

Is It Bad to Do the Same Workout Every Day?

by admin in Workouts 0 comments
If you really love an exercise routine, is it bad to work out every day? Luckily, there is a way to repeat exercise routines without compromising progress. When it comes to workouts, most people fall into one of two categories. Some love to mix it up: HIIT one day, running the next, with a few barre classes thrown in for good measure. Others are creatures of habit: Their workouts look the same day after day, month after month. But is it bad to work out every day if you’re in the second camp and do the same workout every time you exercise? While there are perks to both, most fitness experts will tell you that it’s the people who gravitate toward variety who reap the real rewards of exercise — and studies support the fact that workouts that challenge your body in new ways are the most beneficial over time. However, some of the most popular forms of exercise such as road races, rowing, and cycling call for training that more or less looks the same every time. So is sticking with the same workout every day ever a good thing? The answer is complicated, so read on for a […]
