]]> Finding the time and motivation to work out is difficult during a normal week, but it’s even more challenging during the holiday season. Between family get-togethers, holiday parties, and vacations, it’s almost impossible to fit working out into your busy schedule. But it’s doable. Here are four ways to get motivated to work out.

Buy New Workout Clothes

There’s nothing like a fresh, new workout wardrobe to get you motivated to work out. Now’s the perfect time to treat yourself to workout sets.

Mix Up Your Workout

If you’re anything like us, you’ve been doing the same workouts for quite some time. If you’re feeling bored with your workout routine, switch things up by including other exercises. If you’re all about cardio, add some strength training to your workouts, and vice versa.

Find a Workout Buddy

A workout buddy will help keep you accountable, so you’ll be less likely to skip exercising, even on your busiest days. Plus it’s fun to work out with friends or your partner.

Try a New Class

Gym classes are a great way to meet new people and try new workouts. There are a ton of fun options to choose between like Pilates, Zumba, HIIT, and kickboxing.

]]> People are becoming more aware of environmental issues and trying to make some lifestyle changes in order to help our planet. One of the ways you can lead a more sustainable lifestyle is to change your fitness routine with these easy eco-friendly habits.

Reusable Water Bottles

The first, and the easiest, thing to do for an eco-friendly fitness routine is to stop buying bottled water. Get a cute stainless steel or glass water bottle that you can carry with you all the time.

Reduce Shower Time

We all like to take a hot shower after an intense workout, but reducing your showers by just a few minutes can save a lot of energy and gallons of water.

Change Your Commute

The best way to reduce your carbon emissions and improve your workouts is by jogging, walking, or cycling to the gym instead of driving.

Choose Green Workout Gear

People who work out on a daily basis usually buy lots of clothes, shoes and other gear. When buying workout gear, you can choose sustainable brands that make clothes and shoes from recycled materials.

]]> Working out on a regular basis is pretty much the key to staying in shape and toning your body. But if you hate exercising or going to the gym, here are a few great ways to tone your body with little or no effort.

Walk Everywhere

Spring is here and thatā€™s the perfect excuse to spend more time outdoors and to walk whenever you can. Donā€™t drive to the supermarket or the library if you can go there by foot and burn calories along the way.

Exercise Only 15 Minutes Every Day

Short workouts are perfect for busy people or for those who are having a hard time sticking to their workout routine. Some people even claim that short workouts can be more effective than longer ones, so exercising only 15 minutes every day can definitely help you achieve your fitness goals.

Stretch

Doing a short stretching routine every morning is the perfect way to prepare for the day, improve posture and strengthen your entire body.

Mix It Up

Some people have a hard time committing to specific workout routinesā€”and thatā€™s totally fine. Switch up your routine on a regular basis and that way you wonā€™t get bored.

]]> By now, we already know that a sedentary lifestyle comes with many negative effects. From physical to mental health, everything suffers when you spend most of your day sitting, and many modern jobs require just that. We also know that exercising for about an hour, 2-3 times a week, is not enough to erase the bad effects of sitting all day long, but is there an amount of exercise that can make up for that?

According to research published in the British Journal of Medicine, we finally know the sweet spot of daily exercise that your body requires daily if you sit 10 hours. As it seems, 30-40 minutes of mild to vigorous activity is enough to stop linking a sedentary lifestyle with a higher risk of death.

https://www.instagram.com/p/CIc1w0Ajf4E/

The research included 44,370 participants who were monitored for various number of yearsā€”from 4 to 14.5. Over time, researchers concluded that “higher sedentary time is associated with higher mortality in less active individuals,” and “those in the lowest third of [mild-to-vigorous physical activity] had a greater risk of death in all combinations with sedentary time.”

This is just another proof that daily activity is very important for overall health, so make sure to include it no matter how busy you are.

]]> For athletes, exercise enthusiasts, and just people who like to stay generally healthy, one of the challenges of the Coronavirus pandemic and its associated lockdown has been figuring out how to stay in shape without being able to go to a gym. Jogging, home gyms, and online exercise videos have exploded in popularity as a result.

But the weather is getting colder and working out outside is becoming less and less of an option for most people. So what can you do instead to keep your body moving without having to leave your apartment?

Don’t worry, British fitness influencer Natacha Oceane has got your back. Natacha offers two workout programs that you can do from the comfort of your home. Her program “Home” requires resistance bands and a chair, but if you don’t have any exercise equipment, her newest program “Home Zero” is made just for you.

Both programs offer ten weeks of workouts as well as a science-based nutrition guide developed with Dietetics specialist Renee McGregor. Each workout is unique and fun, composed mostly of low-impact moves so you don’t bother your downstairs neighbors.

So what are you waiting for? Check out Natacha’s workout programs on her website and get moving!

]]> Winter is almost here and gyms are mostly closed and unsafe, so youā€™re probably wondering how to stay active and get your heart rate up. There are so many options, but these are easy and fun ways to get some exercise indoors.

Do a HIIT Workout

There are so many awesome HIIT workouts on YouTube that you can do from the comfort of your living room. These workouts are good for heart health, they burn major calories, and you only need 15 to 30 minutes to do them.

Dance To Your Favorite Music

Exercising is not the only way to move and get your heart rate up. Take a short break from your busy schedule and dance to your favorite music, burn some calories, and boost your energy in the best way possible.

Do Chores

Vacuuming, scrubbing bathroom tiles, and cleaning your kitchen cabinets are all great alternatives to traditional exercise. Doing these household chores can help you increase your heart rate and you’ll burn more calories than you think.

]]> Working and exercising from home is now the norm for most of us. There are some great pieces of exercise technology that turn your home into your own private gym or spin class. They might seem pricey, but they are worth it if you want to get into shape and enjoy doing it.Ā 

Peloton

The Peloton bike and a monthly web-based exercise subscription are perfect for anyone who misses spin class. While itā€™s hard to attend traditional spin classes, the Peloton is the perfect substitute. All you need to do is put on your spinning shoes, select the class you want, and start pedaling. The online instructors are very good at pumping you up and creating a fun atmosphere. Start pedaling!

"100 Peloton classes checked off thanks to @oamato this morning at 6am, and I canā€™t help but reflect on the accuracy of its tagline: 'TOGETHER we go far.' In a world where competition and division are encouraged, both intentionally and unconsciously, where we judge ourselves and those around us based on the most unrealistic expectations, where we make completely ridiculous assumptions about people solely based on their appearance – what if, together, we chose to change that? What if we found ways to cheer each other on? To speak an encouraging or empathetic word to someone who needed to hear it… We will always be stronger together than we are when we try to make it on our own." We couldn't have said it better ourselves, @jenhoverstad. #onepeloton

MIRROR

This is one of the newest exercise technologies out there. MIRROR looks like a normal full-length mirror that can be hung on the wall, or on a frame. But what’s super cool is that all fitness classes are being screened on the mirror, and your own body is monitored to ensure you have the proper form.

MIRROR comes with an associated exercise app. You can select ballet, boxing, yoga classes, and a bunch of other ones. You can also opt for a personal trainer, who watches your performance remotely via the built-in camera. They then provide feedback after your workout.

Tonal

Tonal is similar in shape to MIRROR, but has the added bonus of built-in ergonomic exercise equipment. In addition, TONAL has its own web-based class subscription for an additional cost. The exercise classes will show you which pieces of equipment to pull out, and the different weight levels to use.

]]> When it comes to staying active, there are many different ways you can do it. If, for any reason, you don’t want to put a lot of pressure on your joints, these low-impact exercises are a perfect choice.

Walking

Walking is a basic activity that’s necessary for our health. Not walking enough can make your leg muscles weak which leads to joint pain and injuries. On the other hand, walking is easy and can be done pretty much anywhere without any special equipment. If you don’t have time for designated walking sessions, even getting 15-30 minutes of it during your usual day will benefit you.

Yoga

Yoga is a perfect activity for practicing relaxation and balance. It will stretch your body and help you build muscles and get stronger over time without being too hard on your knees and ankles. There are many different types of yoga so you can choose whichever you like.

Tai Chi

Tai chi is an ancient Chinese martial art that promotes fluid movements. It’s gentle but intentional and will give you the results you want without getting you exhausted. Tai chi is also great for psychological wellbeing as it is for your physical health.

]]> Planks are one of the best core-strengthening exercises and in addition to working your core, they target your abdominal muscles. Planks are one of the easiest exercises to learn and they require no equipment, so they can be done anywhere. If you perform planks with poor form, not only will you not get the benefits from the exercise, but you can injure yourself. These are the three most common plank mistakes to avoid and how to fix them.

Sagging or Lifting the Hips

To get in plank position, form a straight line from your shoulders to your feet by engaging your core muscles. If your core muscles aren’t strong enough to support your body weight, you’ll either sag your hips towards the floor or push them toward the ceiling which can increase the risk of lower back pain.

To fix this issue, try performing planks in front of a mirror so you can see that your body is in a straight line from your shoulders to your feet. To make the exercise easier you can elevate your hands on a box, bench, or counter.

https://www.instagram.com/p/BxsGVANlTch/?utm_source=ig_embed

Holding Planks Too Long

Plank challenges have become super popular, but trying to hold a plank for more than one or two minutes doesn’t have many benefits. If holding planks is too easy for you, try a more challenging variation like a plank with leg lifts.

https://www.instagram.com/p/CAYHGc6hDPc/?utm_source=ig_embed

Shifting Your Weight

Shifting your weight too far forward or backward is a way that many people compensate for not being able to hold themselves up with their core. Shifting your weight can lead to shoulder or neck pain and it negates the benefits of the exercise.

Next time you get in plank position, pay attention to where your hands or elbows are relative to your shoulders and make sure you shoulders are in line with your hands or elbows.

]]> Working out at home can be an effective way to stay in shape, but you need to be careful if you don’t want to end up injured. As we continue to stay at home, more people than ever take up online classes and started working out in front of the TV, which increased the risk of injuries. Here are three best ways to prevent that.

Good Shoes

Even though you’re not going out to exercise, wearing good and comfortable shoes is a must. They should be designed for the activity you’ll be doing, whether that’s running on the treadmill, riding the stationary bike, or doing yoga.

Warm Up First

Never start a workout without warming up. Warming up your muscles and joints is the best way to prevent injuries that may happen from sudden movements. It’s also important to cool down after you finish so your body can adjust.

Have Enough Space

You can’t come up with more space than you actually have, but it’s important to have enough room to move, especially on a cardio machine. Don’t risk bumping into sharp objects like table edges and doorknobs. Don’t exercise on the bare floor as you can slip; stand on a mat instead.

]]> Working and exercising from home is now the norm for most of us. There are some great pieces of exercise technology that turn your home into your own private gym or spin class. They might seem pricey, but they are worth it if you want to get into shape and enjoy doing it.Ā 

Peloton

The Peloton bike and a monthly web-based exercise subscription are perfect for anyone who misses spin class. While itā€™s hard to attend traditional spin classes, the Peloton is the perfect substitute. All you need to do is put on your spinning shoes, select the class you want, and start pedaling. The online instructors are very good at pumping you up and creating a fun atmosphere. Start pedaling!

"100 Peloton classes checked off thanks to @oamato this morning at 6am, and I canā€™t help but reflect on the accuracy of its tagline: 'TOGETHER we go far.' In a world where competition and division are encouraged, both intentionally and unconsciously, where we judge ourselves and those around us based on the most unrealistic expectations, where we make completely ridiculous assumptions about people solely based on their appearance – what if, together, we chose to change that? What if we found ways to cheer each other on? To speak an encouraging or empathetic word to someone who needed to hear it… We will always be stronger together than we are when we try to make it on our own." We couldn't have said it better ourselves, @jenhoverstad. #onepeloton

MIRROR

This is one of the newest exercise technologies out there. MIRROR looks like a normal full-length mirror that can be hung on the wall, or on a frame. But what’s super cool is that all fitness classes are being screened on the mirror, and your own body is monitored to ensure you have the proper form.

MIRROR comes with an associated exercise app. You can select ballet, boxing, yoga classes, and a bunch of other ones. You can also opt for a personal trainer, who watches your performance remotely via the built-in camera. They then provide feedback after your workout.

Tonal

Tonal is similar in shape to MIRROR, but has the added bonus of built-in ergonomic exercise equipment. In addition, TONAL has its own web-based class subscription for an additional cost. The exercise classes will show you which pieces of equipment to pull out, and the different weight levels to use.

]]> When it comes to staying active, there are many different ways you can do it. If, for any reason, you don’t want to put a lot of pressure on your joints, these low-impact exercises are a perfect choice.

Walking

Walking is a basic activity that’s necessary for our health. Not walking enough can make your leg muscles weak which leads to joint pain and injuries. On the other hand, walking is easy and can be done pretty much anywhere without any special equipment. If you don’t have time for designated walking sessions, even getting 15-30 minutes of it during your usual day will benefit you.

Yoga

Yoga is a perfect activity for practicing relaxation and balance. It will stretch your body and help you build muscles and get stronger over time without being too hard on your knees and ankles. There are many different types of yoga so you can choose whichever you like.

Tai Chi

Tai chi is an ancient Chinese martial art that promotes fluid movements. It’s gentle but intentional and will give you the results you want without getting you exhausted. Tai chi is also great for psychological wellbeing as it is for your physical health.

]]> Planks are one of the best core-strengthening exercises and in addition to working your core, they target your abdominal muscles. Planks are one of the easiest exercises to learn and they require no equipment, so they can be done anywhere. If you perform planks with poor form, not only will you not get the benefits from the exercise, but you can injure yourself. These are the three most common plank mistakes to avoid and how to fix them.

Sagging or Lifting the Hips

To get in plank position, form a straight line from your shoulders to your feet by engaging your core muscles. If your core muscles aren’t strong enough to support your body weight, you’ll either sag your hips towards the floor or push them toward the ceiling which can increase the risk of lower back pain.

To fix this issue, try performing planks in front of a mirror so you can see that your body is in a straight line from your shoulders to your feet. To make the exercise easier you can elevate your hands on a box, bench, or counter.

Holding Planks Too Long

Plank challenges have become super popular, but trying to hold a plank for more than one or two minutes doesn’t have many benefits. If holding planks is too easy for you, try a more challenging variation like a plank with leg lifts.

Shifting Your Weight

Shifting your weight too far forward or backward is a way that many people compensate for not being able to hold themselves up with their core. Shifting your weight can lead to shoulder or neck pain and it negates the benefits of the exercise.

Next time you get in plank position, pay attention to where your hands or elbows are relative to your shoulders and make sure you shoulders are in line with your hands or elbows.

]]> Working out at home can be an effective way to stay in shape, but you need to be careful if you don’t want to end up injured. As we continue to stay at home, more people than ever take up online classes and started working out in front of the TV, which increased the risk of injuries. Here are three best ways to prevent that.

Good Shoes

Even though you’re not going out to exercise, wearing good and comfortable shoes is a must. They should be designed for the activity you’ll be doing, whether that’s running on the treadmill, riding the stationary bike, or doing yoga.

Warm Up First

Never start a workout without warming up. Warming up your muscles and joints is the best way to prevent injuries that may happen from sudden movements. It’s also important to cool down after you finish so your body can adjust.

Have Enough Space

You can’t come up with more space than you actually have, but it’s important to have enough room to move, especially on a cardio machine. Don’t risk bumping into sharp objects like table edges and doorknobs. Don’t exercise on the bare floor as you can slip; stand on a mat instead.
