by admin in Workouts 0 comments
With temperatures getting colder, it may be tempting to get back to the gym. But experts still warn against exercising indoors alongside other people: You might not be able to properly distance to avoid infection with the novel coronavirus. “Some people think you can work out safely in a gym as long as you wear a mask, but the reality is, anytime you’re indoors, you’re vulnerable to COVID-19,” says Ramsey Shehab, M.D., a sports medicine specialist at Henry Ford Health System. One potential solution is to get your exercise outdoors.   Winter Weather Workout Tips While cold air can make it challenging to breathe, our bodies adjust to reduced temperatures over time. The key thing to watch for is hypothermia (dangerously low body heat). “Viruses are more likely to attack our bodies if we’re in a cold state,” Dr. Shehab says. “If your internal body temperature drops significantly, it can suppress your immune system and make you more vulnerable to infection.” The good news: Adopting these six strategies can help ensure your outdoor workouts are safe and effective. Check the forecast. Know what the outdoor weather is and plan accordingly. Pay attention to the temperature, wind and moisture level. If temps […]

Getting Motivated for Exercises

Almost everyone has that personal reason as to why they go to a gym for workouts. They vary from one gender to the other. However, it is quite easier to join a gym but quite harder to continue. This is because in the process, the motivation reduces and some people feel they can find better means of working out than the boring hard workouts. The following ways will help you look forward to more body workouts. Make a Commitment with Your Friends You have those close friends who motivate you? Tell them your inner desires. They will keep checking on you and encouraging you. It will be better if they can join you to the gym or field. They give will be keen to note any slight changes in you and challenge you to do more.

Can You Get a Full-Body Workout in 20 Minutes?

by admin in Workouts 0 comments
Q: Sometimes I only have 20 minutes for a workout. What are the most efficient exercises to make the best use of my time?   One of the biggest barriers to establishing a regular workout routine is a lack of time. Finding an extra hour (or more if you include travel to a gym) to exercise most days of the week can feel like an insurmountable challenge, especially if you have a busy work schedule, family responsibilities or a long commute. The good news is you can get the same (or even better) results from an intense 20-minute workout as you can from a one-hour session. A large study from 2019, for instance, found that replacing 30 minutes of sitting each day with moderate to vigorous physical activity was associated with a 45 percent reduction in mortality risk. And many studies have found that short, intense workouts two to three times a week can improve lung function and cardiovascular health. Experts from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommend that most adults get 150 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise each week, but you can cut that in half, to 75 minutes a week, if the workout is intense.
