We all have heard and are aware of people all over the world recommending to exercise because it makes a healthy body, gives you a better look, and just overall makes you feel better. All of this is goody good stuff, but what about the things you’ve never heard of? That’s right, there are many more advantages of maintaining your body than what meets the eye so without further ado, let’s just get right into it: 1. Improves Mood: It is common among most people to attribute exercise to a physical activity that only focuses on making your body better. We won’t disagree that a larger percentage of doing exercise is regarding the physical stuff, it does provide some advantages on a mental level as well. For instance, exercising for a while will bring a sense of achievement, and every time you push your limit or reach your fitness goal, the sense of ‘feel-good’ increases even more. Furthermore, it also helps in focusing and increasing your coordination among individual body parts since a lot of exercise require correct posture and position to perform many exercises. 2.

We make sure they get washed regularly and we get the oil changed, the tires rotated and the brakes replaced at the slightest indication of a squeak or squeal. In fact, in 2011 the results from a study said that 40% of the men surveyed were more apt to take care of a problem with their car before any health issue they may have. For example, answer these 2 questions: 1). Do you have a trusted doctor? 2). Do you have a trusted mechanic? If you answered yes to question number 2, you probably care more about the condition of your car more than you do your own health. And you probably took more time picking out your car than you do a doctor. Do you even know what to look for when choosing a doctor? Many insurance plans have limited selections of PCP (primary care providers) but you can still shop them. Some things you need to look at when choosing a doctor are: • How did you relate to the office staff? Were they friendly? Were they helpful? […]

Is it better to work out in the morning or at night?

by admin in Workouts 0 comments
For men, an evening workout offered more benefit. For women, the answer varied, depending on whether the goal was to burn fat or build muscle. There is no wrong time to exercise, but there may be some times that are more right than others. The best time of day to exercise can depend on your gender and even whether you want to burn fat or get stronger, according to a helpful new study of men, women and exercise timing. It found that, for women, morning workouts zapped abdominal fat and improved blood pressure better than late-day training. For men, evening exercise led to greater fat burning and better blood pressure control. Evening exercise also amplified the benefits of strength training, but more so for women. Studies of exercise timing are part of the burgeoning science of chronobiology, which focuses on how our internal clocks affect almost every aspect of our physiology. Human bodies, like those of other mammals, plants, reptiles and insects, operate on an innate 24-hour circadian rhythm, with a master clock system in our brains sending and receiving biochemical signals that coordinate with molecular clocks inside our cells to direct a boggling symphony of biological processes. This rhythm, […]

Whether it is an injury or travel, there are many reasons why you may need to take a break. This is how you return to your training regimen Reshma Sood, 42, had sustained a shoulder injury last year. After pushing through the pain for some time, the Mumbai-based businesswoman decided to take a break from all kinds of workouts, including her favourite weight training, till she recovered completely. In Bengaluru, AK Abhinav, coach and founder of Namma Xfit, took a break from working out during the pandemic and it stretched long enough for him to put on weight. While professional athletes take scheduled breaks depending on their season and injuries, the recreational ones take a break whenever work, family or injuries force them to. Sood’s break lasted six month and she finally started working out a month ago. Abhinav restarted in March with the aim of reversing all his unwanted gains. No matter what the reason, restarting training after a break, especially anything longer than two weeks, is a huge challenge. “Tell me about it,” says Bengaluru-based Tanya Rocque, a 27-year-old marketing specialist, whose travels had forced her to take a break. “I am quite regular with my fitness routine […]
