Safety Tips to Prevent Injuries and Complete Warm up

Exercises increase your strength, flexibility and core stability if done properly. Improper exercises lead to injuries and severe pain. To avoid injuries or to reduce the risks of injuries you need to be very careful while practicing more intense workouts.
You may receive an injury when you start running with high impact without doing any warm up and flexibility exercises for your ankles, knees and upper body.
Stamina plays an important role in making you habitual in exercising and it also develops self-confidence and enthusiasm. When you jog or perform other physical activities with low stamina you can never fulfill your decided task and you leave it without completing.
Your body agility or nimbleness instills the spirit of doing more physical activities and it also encourages you to do some new things that make you creative.

What do we need to prevent sports injuries

Here are some tips to avoid fitness injuries;
  •  Always do a warm up before starting any exercise or conditioning program. Warm up is too much necessary for all of us before starting any exercise, because it prepares our body for intense workouts and also prepares our muscles for next exercise and generate energy. If the warm up is incorporated with some stretching exercises, then it can increase the range of motion of involved muscles and improve blood flow throughout your body. An adequate warm up not only prepares your body for exercising, but also develop interest to perform different power full moves. 
  • Know your body and do the suitable exercise that suits your fitness level and never try to increase intensity without completing initial or beginner exercise plan. Avoid sprint running, doing leg presses and also avoid using treadmill if you have a knee problem. Do some rehab workouts in order to treat your knee along with massage therapy and take energy foods (not the energy drinks).
  • Always do some low to moderate impact exercises if you are a woman or enough older (above 40) and gradually rose to a climax. Men have more muscle mass than women and they can perform several powerful moves with ease and comfort, as compared to women.
  • Start with slow exercises to prevent injuries and to get expected results in your exercise.
  • Practice your different exercises on different days (non-consecutive), because overdoing certain exercises may result in injuries. After doing some intense workouts, our muscles need rest to recover and during this recovery period our body muscles become weaker than before, but after recovery they become stronger and increased in number too.
  • Do not exercise if you are in a hurry or have less time to perform your routine exercise, because you can make or break your workout before it starts. 

How to do a proper warm up To build stamina

As described above that warm is too necessary, because it prepares our body for intense or medium exercises and also prevent fitness injuries like severe muscle pain, knee pain, back pain, neck strain and others.



Before launching your weight loss program it is important to know the healthy way of doing some physical activities that accelerate our metabolism that maintains healthy weight. 
An appropriate warm up prepares our body to perform intense workouts by generating sufficient energy and by increasing heart rate to a healthy level.

Warm up before you start your workout helps in increasing neural activation, warming up the joints and it also helps in alerting your senses if it is incorporated with suitable and necessary stretching exercises.

Many of us have more stiff body and they need proper warm up before starting any exercise. These people have poor thoracic spine mobility, weak hips and stiff and weak anterior core, so they need to do an adequate warm up to prevent injuries. 
Follow these simple tips for proper warm up along with important stretching exercises;

Heel rotation


  • Stand straight resting both your hands on your side belly and raise your heel of right foot while supporting your body weight on your toes.
  • Now, rotate this raised heel while making circle without lifting your toes.
  • Do this exercise for both ankles for 30 to 40 sec for each ankle. This exercise prepares your ankles for jogging and running.

Knee Rotation









  • Stand straight and then rest your hands on your knees (right hand on the right knee and the left hand on the left knee) while bending your upper body downwards.
  • Now, slight bend your knees in forward direction to make a half chair.
  • Now, rotate both of your knees while making circle.
  • Do this exercise in clockwise and anti-clockwise direction for 1 to 1.5 minutes (for both direction) or complete 10 rotations for each direction.



Neck Rotation

Neck rotation is another important exercise that activates your neck muscles, upper back muscles, spine correction and shoulder muscles.
All neck stretches and other neck exercises should be performed in low pace in order to prevent injury.

Vertical Neck Movement



  • Stand straight and rest your both arms on your side belly (right hand on right side and vice versa)





  • Keep your lower back straight and move your head in downward direction in order to touch your chin to your chest and then move back to look at the sky and so on (do this exercise like you are saying “yes”). Repeat it 10 to 15 times in low pace. 


Horizontal Neck Movement

Move your head toward your right shoulder and then towards left shoulder in a straight line. Do this exercise 8 to 10 times (perform this exercise like you are saying “no”). 

Neck Rotation

  • After doing vertical and horizontal exercises for neck it’s time to rotate your neck in all possible directions.



  • Start from your right shoulder by touching your ear to your shoulder and start rotating your neck downwards, towards left shoulder, backwards while looking at sky and then towards starting position and continue this exercise.





  • Repeat this exercise for 10 times only. 

Wall Pushing



  • Stand in front of a wall and face towards the wall.
  •  
  • Rest your both hands on the wall as you are going to push the wall.
  •  
  • Place your feet apart from each other at the distance of two feet (in such a way that your right foot should behind your left foot). Or simply make a half chair stance while standing in front of the wall and stretch your right leg behind to straighten it while your left leg should be in chair stance.
  •  
  • Now, exert force on the right foot (stretched leg) as you are pushing the wall, but in fact you are stretching your right leg muscles especially calf muscles and hamstrings.
  •  
  • Do the same exercise for the left leg and repeat 3 to 5 times for each leg.




Shoulder Stretch



  • Stand straight and open your legs at shoulder distance.
  • Raise your right hand over your head and fold it to touch your back shoulder and grip right hand’s elbow with your left hand behind your head. 
  • Now, move your right hand's elbow towards your left shoulder to stretch right shoulder.
  • Do the same exercise for the left shoulder and repeat 10 to 15 time for each shoulder



Wrist Stretch


  • stand straight and raise your both hands in front of your chest while making 90 degree angle between your chest and arms 
  • close your fists and rotate them in clockwise and then in anti-clockwise direction
  • Do this for 10 to 15 seconds 

Fingers and Hand Stretch


  • Stretch your right hand in front of your chest while standing straight and making 90 degree angle between your arm and chest.
  • Lift your fingers of stretched hand skywards and grasp them with left hand.
  • Keep the right elbow straight and stretch your fingers with left hand towards your chest for 4 to 5 seconds
  • Repeat this exercise for 4 to 6 times also practice this stretch while facing your fingers downwards for each hand.

Running or Jogging


Now, your body has completely prepared for running and jogging (as a warm up workout). Now, start running or jogging in low pace in cardio style in order to increase your heart rate and to generate energy through aerobic metabolism. Gradually increase the speed of running, but still in medium pace. Run for 5 to 8 minutes in this pace and then take a rest for maximum three (3) minutes.

For beginners

After recovering your breath start your sprint running for about 20 to 30 meter in low pace to build stamina and to burn fat through this high intensity workout. Beginners should sprint for 20 to 30 meters and then they should take complete rest for 2 minutes and then start again (20 to 30 meter sprint). Do this exercise 3 times that covers 60 to 90 meters.  

For intermediate

After a couple of weeks you can increase the length of your track from 30 to 50 meters and decrease duration from 2 minutes to 1 minute. Do this strength training 3 times. Each time you have to cover 50 meters and the recovery period should be 1 minute.
This workout will build muscular strength and stability along with great stamina. Sprint running is not the only workout you should rely on for your whole body fitness.
Generally, it is incorporated with other strength, weight training, body weight training and cardio exercises to build core stability and increased muscles mass (lean and stronger muscles). 

The Actual Way of Losing Weight

Weight loss is a procedure in physical fitness to lose weight by reducing body fats and fluid through proper diet and suitable exercises. There are two ways of losing weight;
  1.  One is the losing weight intentionally
  2.  The second one is the losing weight unintentionally










The healthy way of losing weight is the intentional weight loss that occurs by practicing physical activities regularly and through proper and healthy diet. In this way of losing weight, we have to burn more calories than we consume to lose expected weight.

The unintentional weight loss occurs due to diseases like diarrhea, dehydration, food poisoning, some certain types of cancers, malnutrition and excess use of drugs. The unhealthy way of losing weight either intentionally or unintentionally, leads to several health problems such as muscle weakness, hormonal disorder, less immune response, less sexual ability due to less sex hormones in male and female, abnormal menstruation (in females) and sometimes severe and sudden weight loss leads to death. Unhealthy weight loss affects life quality and lifespan. Losing weight through exercise and severe dieting in quicker short time is also considered an unhealthy way of losing weight.

How to lose weight in a healthy way

Our body prepares some certain types of fat tissues called adipose tissues by using extra calories we consume. These tissues are necessary for our body as they provide cushioning to all our body organs and are also a source of energy stored in our body in the form of fat tissues.


Excess storage of these fatty tissues is considered unhealthy or hazardous to our health, because fat tissues have extremely less number of blood vessels that cannot supply sufficient or required amount of blood containing oxygen and digested food to all our muscle cells and thus these fatty tissues provide insufficient energy to our body. Our body needs oxygen, minerals, digested foods, water and vitamins to function properly.
 And blood vessels absorb vital food ingredients during digestion of food and oxygen from our lungs and then supply to our body for energy generation and to maintain all body systems. Excess body fat lowers the production of important hormones like testosterone that is needed to develop body muscles and to burn body fats. With the age, muscle tissue production rate lowers that leads to slow metabolic rate.
So, there is something badly need to be done for the reduction of this excessive body fat through proper diet and exercise. Healthy physical activities and healthy eating both are the only way to reduce unnecessary body fat.  

Role of diet and exercise in losing weight

Exercise improves life quality, metabolic rate, maintains a healthy body weight, keeps our body flexible that increases the range of motion of our body muscles and also improves blood flow throughout our body. Boosting up metabolism means to boost the fat burning process.
An effective exercise plan incorporated with healthy and natural food plan gives you stronger and leaner muscles and also improves life quality by maintaining healthy body weight.
Exercise also skyrockets physical power and performance even in older age and thus these exercises allow you to perform different power full moves to maintain a strong and lean body. 


Exercising according to a schedule is not the only key to live healthy, younger and energetic for life. An effective exercise plan if incorporated with a suitable food/diet plan, then you can achieve your expected goal. Foods give us energy to perform different routine tasks and also supply essential nutrients that are vital for our survival. Mainly, our diet contains macro and micro nutrients that are needed to maintain all life sustaining processes occurring within our body. 

Exercise matters, but diet matters a lot

Diet is the selection of healthy foods, eliminating processed and refined foods. This is the only way to live healthy and energetic. It is also true that exercise matters, but we all know that diet matters a lot. Diet affects our body more than exercises and other physical activities.

Foods provide energy to perform exercises and these exercises help our body to digest these foods in a better way. Doing routine tasks like going to the market, doing your households and by walking one mile or more keeps your body active and also maintains a healthy body weight while following a healthy diet plan that contains natural and unprocessed foods.
Gradually increasing your workout routine is the secret to live stronger and healthier.
Similarly, only diet keeps no meaning. If a healthy diet incorporated with a suitable exercise or conditioning program, then you can get your expected results. 

Things you need to lose weight

The only thing you need to lose weight is your inner desire to be healthy and smart, but there are still some other factors that also affect our weight such as;
  • An exercising body is an important factor that is too much necessary to have for participating in physical activities. If your body is not capable of doing physical activities, then you cannot lose weight in a healthy way and you have to find some unhealthy ways of losing weight like meditation and severe dieting (skipping foods) that leads to nutritional deficiency. With stronger muscles you can do more powerful activities that can burn extra calories and lead to healthy body weight.
  • Exciting workouts that can be practiced easily and with joy. These exciting and easy to do workouts not only help us in sustaining life quality, but also develop self-confidence and instill spirit of being healthy.
  • Healthy diet with all necessary and essential nutrients.
  • Healthy eating habits which save us from over eating and binge eating.
  • Great interest in maintaining healthy weight and stronger muscles.
  • Always devote your spare time in short time physical activities that can be performed at home or office such as chair sitting, table push-ups, calf raise and some important stretching exercises. These exercises keep you fresh and motivated.
  • Drink an adequate amount of water. If you want to drink plenty of water, then increase your physical activities, because physical activities increase your water need. Drinking water more than your need is not a healthy regime. Drinking too much water or too less water can be hazardous.
  • Add excess healthy protein in your diet.





Physical Fitness and its Importance

Body fitness is the quality of being in shape and to have all body systems in their good condition along with healthy body weight. Exercising routinely keeps your body and mind active and energetic to perform certain powerful moves like mountain climbing, rope climbing, power squats, pull-ups, push-ups and many more. Fitness is the muscularity of your body with forceful exertion and this is the condition of being physically fit and healthy.

Importance of Exercises and Fitness




Exercises are the only way to live physically and mentally active and healthy. Excessive weight is the today’s rapidly spreading issue that leads to many other diseases and physical inabilities. Physical activities with fun and ease can prevent excessive weight gaining and other diseases caused by obesity and overweight.

Exercises maintain the blood flow, increased range of motion, better performance and flexibility of all body organs that are involved in these physical activities.

The majority of the people in their later years (after 40 years old) become unable to perform several healthy activities due to less muscle mass and excessive fat. In this period of age several diseases are ready to attack such as diabetes, bear belly (abdominal obesity), cardiovascular health issues and muscles weakness. Exercise routinely is the only way to increases your lifespan and to improve your life quality.

Introduction to Exercising and Fitness


Exercising is the physical activity of exerting your muscles in various ways to get fit and healthy. Only moving your muscles in different ways in order to pick something up, drop or put something down and carry something anywhere are not the healthy activities. In healthy activities or exercising, you do some certain moves in an organized manner regularly or after a regular interval of hours or days.

Exercising routinely makes your body active and healthy by boosting up your BMR (basal metabolic rate), hormonal system and immune system. We all need to perform some physical movement to keep our body in its good order. 






Exerting your muscles, shedding sweat and burning calories is the main purpose of exercising. The majority of the people say that exercises add days to our lives, but I believe that exercises add life to your days.

The people not involved in physical activities suffer from different health conditions, have less ability to do several healthy moves and also gain enough body weight to an extent that is dangerous and is difficult to reduce after their 30’s.

Studies after studies have proven that the physiological abilities of the people involved in no or less physical activities are dramatically decreasing day by day and that is the major reason of obesity, cardiovascular health degradation, mal-absorption incorporated with poor digestion and diabetes.


It also has seen that millions of people (either exercising or not) are suffering from belly fat, less sexual abilities and low level of testosterone.

The strange thing is that some exercising people also suffer from many health problems. The only reason for their falling health is the imbalance of diet and proper exercise. Showing off your natural abilities and relying on this by leaving proper physical activities leads to health problems. They need to know how to exercise properly and with interest to keep it up for life or until you reach your goal. 

Do the Right Thing at the Right Time

Exercising properly and taking great care of your diet is the only way to live energetic and in well-shaped. Proper interval or gap is required after exercising and if you don’t care about the gap or interval after performing certain exercise or workout, then it all goes wrong and useless that leads to no output at all and the aftermath is no or less interest in doing your workout.

So, you just need to do the right exercise at the right time in an appropriate manner. At gyms and fitness centers, several idiots can be seen doing their self-created exercises to impress other people at the gym. Some of them visit the gym at morning and evening as well to achieve their goal in quicker short time.

Although they don’t reach their goals, all they get is the caustic remarks. If you are trying to get a leaner, stronger and healthier body, then concentrate your workout and save yourself from injuries.

After practicing high impact workouts let your body rest for at least 18 to 20 hours as recovery period. In this recovery period our body rebuilds some muscle tissues which are more healthy and stronger than before. Never involve in exercises or physical activities you don’t know about.

Foods that Kill Belly Fat

Being overweight or having excess fat is a health problem that might be a serious health issue of one’s lifestyle. Maybe you or someone you know is also having this problem. 
Every time I ask people what body part they want to improve…it’s always their abs…or in other words, they want to lose belly fat.



There are certain foods that KILL belly fat and others that CAUSE belly fat.

 Here are some that will flatten that bulge:


Omletes





Eggs are nutrient dense and loaded with belly-burning protein, vitamins B6, B12, A, D, E and K, folate, choline, lutein, calcium, iron, phosphorus, zinc and omega3 fatty acids. Plus, they will keep you full for long periods of time.

2- Veggies 


Cetain vegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower, brussel sprouts, kale and cabbage contain special phytonutrients (fight-o-nutrients), such as indole-3-carbinol (I3C), which help to fight against environmental estrogens that can add belly fat. 

3- Black Beans





Black beans are also one of the highest in flavonoids of all the beans. And research shows that flavonoids may thwart the storage of excess tummy fat.

4- Peanuts



Peanuts could help you lose weight. Healthy fats in peanuts are burned more readily than the less-healthy fats found in cookies, chips, and creamy desserts.

5- Tea





When human fat cells were treated with white tea extract in a lab study, the cells absorbed about 70% less fat than the untreated cells did. And those same tea compounds also triggered the breakdown of fat in existing cells.

6- Seafood




Studies have shown that seafood has been found to contain monounsaturated fat (MUFA). Studies have also shown that having a regular diet with foods containing MUFA can prevent belly fat.

7 Surprising Fitness Tips

A great tip is an awesome thing. Try these expert tips to rejuvenate your exercise routine and keep your body healthy and strong..


1- Eat More

When it comes to changing the size and shape of your body, exercise is only 30 percent of it,” says Ariane Hundt, a New York City-based certified personal trainer and instructor at Brooklyn Bridge Boot Camp. “The rest needs to come from proper nutrition and a positive sense of self.” It only takes a few minutes to consume about 1,000 calories (one Quiznos Classic Italian sub, for instance)—but it can take hours to burn that sandwich off.

2- Get a better workout!

“People are surprised at how little exercise they need to get and stay fit,” says personal trainer Keith Morton, founder of CityWide SuperSlow in Chicago. “It’s the quality, not quantity, of exercise that counts.” Mississauga-based fitness trainer Marc Lebert adds that his best workouts occur when he’s pushed for time. “If I give myself 20 minutes to work my legs, I know I have to increase my intensity,” he says. “A time limit makes every set count.”

3- Go barefoot for whole-body health

If you refuse to wear shoes in the summer, you may enjoy better blood circulation, a happier mood, stronger bones and better posture. According to Barefoot in Toronto, a group that promotes a barefoot lifestyle, barefoot walking increases skin health, reduces foot calluses, builds arch strength and enhances sensory stimulation. Going barefoot also creates healthier toenails and reduces foot odour.


5- Nutritional Basics

Ask almost any personal trainer and they’ll tell you that regardless of your training goals, healthy eating is the backbone. Food is what fuels your body to reach your goals and without proper nutrition through quality foods, you’re likely to stall. As a result, if possible, eat organic foods and, above all else, maintain a balanced diet consisting of fruits, vegetables, complex carbohydrates, complete proteins, and fats including such things as fish oils and flaxseeds.

6- Make it fun

Find sports or activities that you enjoy, then vary the routine to keep you on your toes. If you're not enjoying your workouts, try something different. Join a volleyball or softball league. Take a ballroom dancing class. Check out a health club or martial arts center. Discover your hidden athletic talent. Remember, exercise doesn't have to be drudgery — and you're more likely to stick with a fitness program if you're having fun.


7-  Put it on paper

You may also find it helps to keep an exercise diary. Record what you did during each exercise session, how long you exercised and how you felt afterward. Recording your efforts can help you work toward your goals — and remind you that you're making progress.

Guest Post: Summer Gift Ideas For Fitness Enthusiasts


For fitness enthusiasts, the summer months are usually the most enjoyable of the year. The warm weather makes it perfect for taking advantage of the outdoors and incorporating them into their workout routines.




After a long winter of working out in the confines of a home or a gym, it can be nice to get
outside to enjoy some fresh air and some new scenery.


While not every fitness enthusiast will consider summer to be their favorite season, most of them find the outdoors to be an enjoyable aspect of life and will try to spend time outside
as often as they can. After all, it's the best place you can spend your time if you truly want to get in shape.

If you know someone who is a fitness enthusiast who also enjoy spending time outdoors, getting them a fitness gift with a summer theme can be the perfect way to celebrate a birthday, Father's Day (which falls in summer) or even a graduation in the late spring.

Here are a few
gifts that fit the bill for both summertime and exercise:

1. Bike





This is a bit of a larger gift, but if you know someone who likes the outdoors and is dedicated to staying in shape, who doesn’t already have a good mountain bike, this is a great gift.


Even if you break the bank on one gift, it’s one that they’re sure to enjoy for a long time, and will probably own for a few decades before needing a new one. You do not necessarily have to wrap this size of a gift, but you should at least embellish it with something like a raffia ribbon or bow.


2. Yoga Bag (to carry a mat)

A lot of people who do yoga enjoy getting outside of a gym or classroom to practice some of what they learned in a quieter and more peaceful environment, like the woods.





A bag to carry yoga gear, like a mat and water bottle, is a perfect gift for the beginning of
summer. That’s not to say the dedicated yoga student wouldn’t try the same thing in the dead of winter, but it’s no secret that parks and outdoor trails are far more appetizing at 70 degrees when the sun is shining.

3. Summer Workout Clothing





A simple pair of shorts or sweat resistant clothing would be a nice, practical gift that will
always go over well. Those who enjoy working out can never really have enough fitness
clothing, and a lot of people won’t have time to purchase summer workout gear.

4. Water Bottle with Built-in Filter

Since being outdoors means you might need to get water from some random sources (water fountains, streams, etc.), having a water bottle with a built-in filter is perfect, especially if it’s for someone who enjoys distance running or biking.






Even if they already have a good water bottle, having one with a filter isn’t something they'll need to use all the time, but rather just a nice luxury to have on hand.


5. Waterproof Phone Case for Hiking

Since so many people now have their music players and phones combined into one device,
you know that runners and bikers will be taking their phone with them, no matter where they’re planning on going.






The same goes for hikers, so a weatherproof case would be the perfect gift for someone
looking forward to a lot of nature themed recreation and exercise.

In Case they Forget

Getting a good gift can mean finding something that a person might have forgotten about, or just didn't have the foresight to know that it could be useful to them during the summer.

If you know someone who is into fitness and who has the summer months in front of them, try and gift them with something that they'll find useful for that part of the year.

They'll appreciate it more knowing you put the extra thought and time into it.

Guest Post: How Better Sleep Can Help Your Energy And Stress Levels


These days, it seems like there are countless things to worry about. The tough economy has millions of Americans wondering if they will be able to pay their bills this month, or if they will ever be able to find a job. A constantly dueling Congress offers little comfort. It is hard to let a day pass by without news of a terrible weather calamity. And of course, our own personal problems with work and family also cause us to worry and stress. But there will always be causes of stress, the key is in learning to deal with them. Everyone deals with stress in different ways. Some people work out to relieve their anxiety, other people meditate in silence, and plenty more do less productive things like eating or shopping. One great, easy, and entirely free way to reduce your stress levels is also one of the simplest: get more sleep. Sleeping more can held both your energy and stress levels, making you more productive and generally just happier.

Getting enough sleep fuels your brain and your body alike. So it is important to identify certain habits and behaviors in your life that may be to the detriment of your sleeping. Are you drinking a lot of coffee or soda? Caffeine and sugar both produce temporary highs that usually end with a crash. If you cut down how much caffeine and sugar you consume, your head will feel clearer, you will get less drowsy during the day, and sleep better at night. Another bad habit that also hurts your ability to sleep is smoking cigarettes. If you are a smoker, you almost certainly already know that you should quit. So add better sleep as a reason to finally make that move.




When you do not get adequate sleep, your body and brain both slow down. You will feel drowsy and groggy during the day, and you might find this hurts your ability to do your work well or articulate yourself. This can be frustrating and lead you to irrational thinking. The average person needs seven to eight hours of sleep every night, so try to engage in a lifestyle that is more likely to help you achieve that goal.


Below are some tips to improve your sleeping. Implement these and your energy and stress levels will also see positive results.

Exercise more




Getting more exercise will tire your body and lead you to get a better night's sleep. You do not even need to go to the gym to achieve these results. Try parking further away from the entrance at your office building, or opting to take the stairs whenever plausible. If you sit at a desk all day, get up and walk around the office at least once an hour. If you can get a treadmill and standing desk in your office, that is an even better option.

Get rid of the bedroom television




Falling asleep to the television is very common in this country, but it is a bad habit. Get the television out of the bedroom. Read a book to fall asleep to instead. Youll feel better in the morning.

Take a Power Nap





If you find yourself drowsy around 3 in the afternoon, you are experiencing the afternoon slump. Instead of having a cup of coffee, take a twenty to thirty minute nap. The power nap is a healthier alternative to artificial caffeine.
