by admin in Workouts 0 comments
Turn into a machine by improving your strength and endurance.   If there were an award for the most misunderstood and misused words in the fitness sphere, it would go to stamina and endurance. These words are often used interchangeably. While stamina and endurance share similarities, there are differences between the two. This article dives into these terms, their differences, their importance, and how you can improve your stamina and endurance to make the most of your workouts.   Stamina is your physical and mental ability to sustain an activity for a long duration at maximum or near maximum force. Endurance, on the other hand, refers to your physical capability to sustain an exercise for an extended period.   Endurance comprises two components — cardiovascular and muscular. Cardiovascular endurance is your heart and lungs’ ability to fuel your body with oxygen. On the other hand, muscular endurance is your muscles’ ability to work without getting tired. Let’s take squats as an example. If you have to perform one squat per second, your stamina will determine how many squats you can perform at a uniform rate. On the flip side, your endurance will dictate how many squats you can do before […]

by admin in Workouts 0 comments
A beautiful sunny day is the ultimate motivation to go outside and play, but the summer heat and exercise can be a risky combination.Here are 12 tips for enjoying a safe, summer exercise program.   1. Ease Up Know when to ease up, especially if you’re traveling to hot and humid climates you’re unaccustomed to. Chances are, you won’t be able to exercise at the intensity you normally do, and that’s okay. I recently talked with a patient who learned the hard way. Though she normally sails through a three-mile run at home in Oregon, she barely made it through a half-mile stroll in the sticky 95-degree heat of New Orleans last week. She was surprised to realize how much – and how quickly! – the heat and humidity wore her down. If you normally run, walk or jog. If you walk, slow your pace. As your body adapts to the heat, gradually pick up the pace and length of your workout. If you have a medical condition and/or take prescription medications, do ask your physician if you need to take any additional precautions.   2. Avoid the hottest part of the day. Rise early to catch the cool of […]
