Features and tips devoted to exercise trends and strategies to maintain overall fitness.
There are a number of reasons to incorporate strength training into your fitness routine, including toned muscles, leaner appearance, improved strength, increased metabolism, reduced risk of osteoporosis—and now a reduced risk of insulin resistance and diabetes.
If you’re pregnant, it can be tempting to sit back and relax for nine months, but it’s better to stay active if you can. Maintaining a regular fitness regimen during your pregnancy can help you stay healthy and feel strong.
The days are shorter and colder and the couch is cozy and inviting, but winter is no time to fall off the fitness wagon. Exercise is critical for your physical fitness and your emotional wellbeing.
Staying fit and strong is not rocket science. It doesn’t require personal trainers or fancy gyms full of equipment. It does require consistency and commitment—and a few simple tools for success.
If winter has forced you to take your walking or running routine indoors to a treadmill or elliptical machine, consider a fun winter alternative: snowshoeing. Snowshoeing provides a great workout along with an opportunity to get outside and enjoy some fresh air.
The weather outside is frightful and though it may be hard to believe, the gym can be delightful. Don’t let inclement weather derail your fitness routine—take your workout indoors for year-round fitness and fun.
If you’ve been paying attention to the latest celebrity fitness craze, you’ve probably heard of muscle confusion. And if it’s good enough for celebrities, then it’s good enough for you, right? Maybe.
If you’re stuck in an exercise rut and don’t know how to get out, there is help—in the form of a personal trainer. Whether you need motivation, support, instruction, or accountability, a personal trainer can provide a boost to your fitness regimen and set you on the right track.
Setting goals and creating fitness plans is easy—following through is the hard part. How do you move from idea to action to success—and how do you know where you are in the process? A fitness log is an excellent tool to help you stay on track to achieving your fitness goals.
Fitness trends come and go, but exercise is never out of fashion. The leotards, headbands, and step benches of the 80s faded to a distant memory when spin bikes and kickboxing hit the scene. Now, some new trends are stealing the fitness spotlight. If you’re tired of your same old workout routine, consider trying one of these new methods for fitness and fun.
