Cool tips for a summer workout

The sweltering summer heat is a good excuse to skip exercise and once again gain those extra kilos that you lost with so much effort and work out. However with a few tips and precautions, summer can be a good time to workout as well. Following some expert advise, dehydration and heat related illness can be avoided, and exercising can be fun even when the mercury is rising. Experts suggest that the best time to workout in the summer is early morning or evening, when temperature is lower. A German study has shown that a pre exercise cooldown works wonders in the summer and hopping into the shower before working out may not be a bad idea after all. Dressing correctly is another important step. Wearing loose clothing is always a good idea and sweat absorbent materials should be used. If working out in the open, shaded areas should be chosen. If your usual running route leaves you boiling in the sun, it is time to pick up a new route for those early morning jog. It is also a good idea to walk, run or cycle on dirt or gravel paths since asphalt and concrete radiate heat and reflect […]

Follow this expert-backed workout routine to give your results a major boost. With benefits such as better quality sleep, a boost in brainpower, and increased levels of happiness, exercise is such an important part of your daily schedule. Sometimes, the fact that you’re getting up and out is a win in itself. But what you include in your workout routine matters, too. Science and experts agree: There are loads of benefits to diversifying your workout schedule, including avoiding injury. Choosing which days to do upper or lower body workouts, as well as low or high intensity, can be the key. “Variety is the spice of fitness,” says Adam Rosante, celebrity strength and nutrition coach. “One of the surest ways to hit a plateau is to do the same workout over and over.” While it’s not for everyone, you can work out every single day if you want to forgo a rest day — as long as you do so strategically. This means caring for your body as you go and not overdoing it. “You can do cardio or strength training seven days a week if you want to,” says Dennis Cardone, D.O., chief of primary care sports medicine at NYU […]

Should You Work Out if You’re Fasting?

by admin in Workouts 0 comments
If you’re one of many people who occasionally abstain from eating for religious or health reasons, you’ll need to adjust your workout schedule, too, experts say.   Exercise is an essential component of a healthy lifestyle. Regular physical activity may help you control your weight, reduce your risk of heart disease and diabetes, and strengthen muscles and bones, per MedlinePlus. Sometimes, however, you may want to approach exercise with caution. Abstaining from food and drink for a set time — a practice known as fasting — is one of those instances.   Is It Safe to Work Out if You’re Fasting? For the most part, it’s okay to work out if you’re fasting, “especially if you’re already generally healthy,” says William Dixon, MD, an emergency medicine physician and a clinical assistant professor at Stanford University in California. Certain populations should be careful, though. People with coronary artery disease (a condition in which the arteries struggle to deliver blood, oxygen, and nutrients to the heart), as well as those taking medication for hypertension (high blood pressure) and diabetes are the primary groups who need to be cautious. “Someone who has coronary artery disease should be careful with exercising in general, especially exercising […]

When It’s Okay to Work the Same Muscles Back to Back

by admin in Workouts 0 comments
Can you squat one day and then cycle the next, or should you skip legs altogether? Here, the expert verdict.   There are pros and cons to working out two days in a row. You may know it’s not best to bench on back-to-back days, but how bad is it really to squat then cycle, or HIIT it hard every day? If you’re not doing the same workout every day, is it fine to work the same muscles a couple of days in a row? Generally speaking, yes, it’s fine to work out the same muscles on back-to-back days — as long as you’re not going to failure on either of those days, says Lindsay Ogden, a certified personal trainer and nutrition coach at Life Time Athletic in Chanhassen, Minnesota. By “going to failure,” she means getting to a point where you literally can’t execute the move because your muscles are so tired. While this most commonly happens when you’re strength training (you know the “I can’t even do one more rep” feeling), your legs probably feel the same type of way after a weekly long run or an especially brutal HIIT class. And, actually, there are some perks to […]

Can You Actually Burn Fat and Gain Muscle at the Same Time?

by admin in Workouts 0 comments
The answer is more complicated than you might’ve been led to believe. Here’s what you need to know. IF YOU’RE LOOKING to get in shape, your goals probably boil down to achieving two specific things: losing fat and gaining muscle. Achieving just one of these training objectives is no small feat. Achieving them together is a whole different ballgame. This is called “body recomposition” by scientists and fitness professionals—in other words, the process of changing the composition of your body by lowering body fat mass and increasing muscle mass. The biggest hurdle you’ll have to clear on your journey to accomplishing these goals is that they require largely different demands. To lose fat, you need to be burning more calories then you’re taking in. To build muscle, you need to increase your protein intake and prioritize strength training, so your body can build more muscle fibers. Eager to make big changes, people often try to achieve both at the same time. The question is: Is it even possible to both lose fat and gain muscle simultaneously? We asked the experts.   Can you burn fat and build muscle at the same time? A 2020 meta-data analysis from the Strength and […]

Here’s how to sustain your workout routine to reach your fitness goals

by admin in Workouts 0 comments
Ever started a fitness goal with great enthusiasm, only to ditch it halfway? The discontinued gym membership, dusty running shoes, or neglected workout plans are all too familiar signs of faltering commitment. However, persistence is the key to achieving fitness goals. Maintaining a disciplined fitness regime offers an array of benefits beyond physical appearance. Studies have shown that regular exercise can improve cardiovascular health, boost mood, alleviate stress, and enhance cognitive function. Moreover, it can reduce the risk of chronic diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, and obesity. By exercising every day, you can significantly improve your quality of life and longevity.   Here’s how you can create  a sustainable fitness routine for long-term success:   Start slow, but stay steady: Rome wasn’t built in a day, and neither is a sustainable fitness routine. Begin with manageable goals and gradually increase intensity and duration. Consistency is key; make exercise a non-negotiable part of your daily or weekly schedule. Be passionate: Exercise doesn’t have to be a chore. Discover activities you enjoy, whether it’s dancing, hiking, swimming, or yoga. Finding joy in movement increases motivation and makes sticking to a routine easier. Set goals that are real: Set specific, achievable goals that align with your fitness aspirations. […]

Setting a totally non-negotiable bedtime. The new episode of How to Get Away with Murder airs at 10 p.m.? You won’t be watching.
