Squats may be one of the most well-known lower-body exercises, but single-leg movements are equally useful for evening out muscle imbalances and individually working both your glutes and legs. Our personal favorite? The single-leg RDL.

This Is the Best Time of Day to Work Out, According to Science

by admin in Workouts 0 comments
Finding time to exercise can be challenging, and the most important thing is to squeeze in any amount of it whenever you can. But if you want to optimize your workouts to get the widest range of benefits, you might want to try exercising in the morning. Here’s what the science says about the best time of day to exercise — and what to expect if you opt for later workouts.   Morning workouts have an edge Working out in the morning — especially on an empty stomach — is the best way to burn stored fat, making it ideal for weight loss. That’s largely because the body’s hormonal composition in the morning is set up to support that goal, says Anthony Hackney, a professor in the department of exercise and sport science at the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill. “In the early morning hours, you have a hormonal profile that would predispose you to better metabolism of fat,” Hackney says. People naturally have elevated levels of cortisol and growth hormone in the morning—both of which are involved in metabolism—so you’ll “draw more of your energy from your fat reserves,” Hackney says. That can potentially help with weight loss. Research also suggests that […]

4 Effective Workouts for a Better Posture

by kevin in Workouts 0 comments
We can all agree that proper posture makes every woman more attractive. However, what we need to understand is that proper posture is much more than just good appearance. Besides the fact that good posture makes every woman look slimmer and taller; it also supports the digestive system and can help the body get more energy. When you walk around with a hunched back, the body sends a much smaller amount of oxygen to the muscles as well as less blood to the intestines which can ultimately lead to constipation. Incorrect posture can also result in headaches because it disrupts proper blood circulation to the shoulders and neck. If we have bad posture for a long period of time, we can expect even more health problems. In order to avoid all these problems and make you look more beautiful, we are presenting four effective workouts for a better posture. Workout No. 1 This simple workout will help you straighten the spine which will lead to corrected body posture. When the spine is not under pressure, you will also look several inches taller. Start this workout by lying on the ground. Bend the knees and place the feet on the ground. […]
