Weekly Fitness Tips
"No Pain, No Gain" is a myth. If you feel pain while working out or performing an exercise, then stop immediately. Continuing could lead to serious injury. |
Switch up your equipment to add variety to your weightlifting routine - try using dumbells one week, then machines, then cables. This small variation will keep both your mind and muscles stimulated. |
Although you might feel that you're burning more calories by going super fast on a cardio machine, you'll actually get a more efficient workout if you go slower, but with a higher resistance. |
Proper form is essential for weight-lifting. Concentrate on each rep and don't rely on momentum for your power - doing this not only cheats you out of a effective workout, it could also lead to injury. |
Avoid large pre-workout meals - the blood needed to pump your heart, lungs, arms and legs will be used to help digest your food instead. |
