Many of us have too much to do in our daily lives to find some time for the gym, and those of us lucky enough to be well prepared and organized that we take our gym kit to work so we can go straight from desk to treadmill, still only get about a half hour before it’s time to shower off and get home for dinner. Fitness fanatics who wish they had more hours in the day would love the opportunity to spend three or four hours in the gym and work out leisurely without worrying about time. Well, there is a way where we can spend just 30 to 45 minutes in the gym and achieve the same results as that guy we see sitting around on the chest press apparatus chatting away to his friends on his cell phone as if he has all the time in the world.

How to exercise in a heatwave: We ask the experts for tips on working out safely

by admin in Workouts 0 comments
As we sweat through yet another period of high temperatures, exercise might be the last thing you want to do. But just because it’s hot out doesn’t mean you need to bin your workout routine completely, if you normally exercise and feel the need for some physical activity. Of course, to be absolutely safe, you should avoid unnecessary physical exertion during a heatwave, says Oliver Gibson, Senior Lecturer in Exercise Physiology at Brunel University London. “However, first with climate change unlikely to be reversed in the coming decades, we cannot avoid activity entirely as this would be counterproductive for health,” he told Euronews Next. “People are creatures of habit, and those who regularly exercise will continue to do so. For those people, making good decisions regarding their exercise habits is critical”. With high temperatures unfortunately likely to be a key fixture in summers to come, here are some tips on how to adjust your normal routine and work out safely in the heat.   1. Go early in the morning, and pace yourself “If you don’t regularly exercise, then I wouldn’t start exercising in a heatwave,” Rebekah Lucas, Associate Professor in Physical Activity and Health at the University of Birmingham, […]

Emotional health is a state of positive psychological functioning and is vital for living a life of balance and contentment. People who are emotionally healthy are in control of their moods and behaviour, which helps them to meet the challenges of career difficulties, family conflict, or life dilemmas. However, many individuals have experienced emotional disturbances and disorders during their life. Emotional disorders are highly intertwined with leading causes of illness and disability, such as heart disease or stroke, leading to a high family and social burden due to increased healthcare costs. Therefore, it is an important public health issue to encourage more research into the field of mental health. It is well established that mind-body practices, as an alternative and complementary treatment, have shown beneficial effects in the alleviation of anxiety, depression, and other psychopathologies.

There are many theories as to how exercise boosts the immune system, and it’s likely that this happens in a few different ways.
