By Gary D Richards

Stretching is a vital part of your program and is often neglected by many. Exercise actually has the effect of tightening your muscles, so it is of great importance while your muscles are warm to stretch them after exercise returning them to their original lengths. This will prevent the risk of injury and stiffness and maintain good flexibility. Remember to hold each stretch for at least 30 seconds.

What is CrossFit?

What is CrossFit and why is it turning the fitness world on its ear? If you've paid any attention at all to the recent trends in the fitness world, you've probably caught wind of the emphasis on the importance of constantly varying your workout routine. You may even have noticed a lot of coaches and trainers focusing more on shorter duration, high intensity programs over the more traditional long, drawn-out sessions on weight machines, followed by 30 minutes or more on a stair climber or similar piece of "cardio" equipment.

Different Types Of Zumba

In the mid-nineteen nineties a Colombian Aerobics Instructor called Alberto Perez was about to take a class, when he realized that he had forgotten his musical backing tape. He improvised with the class by using a tape of upbeat Latin dance music, and the idea for Zumba was born. In 2001 Zumba Fitness was launched as a highly energetic dance-fitness program based on Latin dance styles, and danced to an international high-tempo musical soundtrack. Instead of the traditional aerobics method of doing repetitions to music, Zumba is all about moving to the music.

Yoga for a Healthier Life

There is nothing like Yoga for keeping your body, mind and emotions in good shape! I have had much experience with various forms of exercise and in fact taught Physical Education in schools for a while as a younger woman. I now know that Yoga is the best exercise program out there. To start, it is very important to learn how to breathe deeply and then to focus on your breath throughout your entire program. A good Yoga teacher will be sure to show you how to breathe deeply and will direct you in the co-ordination of the breath with each position and movement.

Pilates - The Benefits

By careful training and precise control over the smaller muscles in the lower abdominal region and lower back region Pilates is able to improve your core stability. This can result in better control of the small spinal joints during movement of the spine and better control of the pelvis and hip regions. This can have many beneficial effects including improving pelvic stability, lower back pain reduction, better control of the bladder and stronger pelvic floor muscles.

Turbo Jam Vs Turbo Kick Vs Turbo Fire

This is a review of three different exercise programs created by fitness and motivational dynamo, Chalene Johnson. Turbo Jam, Turbo Kick, and Turbo Fire are all the same basic structure and format, but differ in levels of intensity and where you can participate in the exercise programs. There are two main factors that separate Turbo Jam, Turbo Kick, and Turbo Fire from one another: levels of intensity, and the format at which you can participate.

The Benefits Of Bodyweight Training

It's been close to two years since I stopped training at a gym and have been training at home. I train with bodyweight exercises and some isometric exercises. If there is one thing I've learned it's that bodyweight training can work wonders if you're willing to be motivated enough to stick to it. I started with a bodyweight workout routine earlier on as a desperate measure to make my workouts more efficient and it quickly became an eye-opener about the vast benefits of bodyweight training.

Understanding Dietary Fats

When it comes living a healthy life, dietary fat are important for maintaining good overall health. This is even more important as you advance in age. It is therefore necessary to understand that your body needs a regular intake of fat. Consuming adequate amounts of dietary fat is important as they provide calories that your body uses for energy, support cell growth as well as protect and keep your organs warm. Your body also needs fat to enable it effectively absorb the fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K as well as to produce important hormones.

Tips for Exercising When on a Ketogenic Diet

A lot of things happen when you are exercising. Some of these are good for your health and others are not so good - like when you exercise excessively. Exercise is a stressor. While it can be a good stressor, it can however cause your adrenals to go into overdrive. This situation increases your insulin levels and therefore reduces your ability to lose weight. When exercising, your insulin levels goes up while your hunger reduces. However, this often results in a significant reduction in blood sugar levels...

Nutritional Supplements Guide

Just a word about nutritional supplements & the confusion surrounding them! To start with - a supplement is just that - a supplement - it is not to replace proper nutrition and hard work! To compare the use & results of nutritional supplements (the legal steroid alternatives) to actual anabolic steroids would be a flat out lie! But at the same time they can & do produce excellent results for many users and you don't have to worry about the legal consequences if you get caught with them.
