During summer, everything shifts; longer days, more energy to move, spend time outside, or squeeze in more walks and workouts. But sometimes, we overdo it trying to make the most of the season, and that’s when injuries can happen.
If you’ve been feeling stiff or tense from the heat or from sitting at a desk for hours, this post is for you.
Today I’m sharing a few simple tips to help you stay flexible, light, and pain-free this summer, plus a short 8-minute stretch routine to help you unwind.
Today’s video is a small workout routine that you can implement before your leg and glute workout. It is a 5 min glute activation workout that you can follow along. You can do it at home or at the gym.
If you don’t know what muscle activation means, don’t worry I’ll explain it to you.
This week we have one more active recovery routine. Remember that these exercises help us to recover faster.
It is a way to rest the body from intense exercises without having to stop exercising.
Remember that as much as we like to stay active, rest days are also necessary to avoid wearing out the muscles and injuries.
This week we have one more upper body routine with dumbbells. To make it more dynamic, we are going to combine the exercises with some core or leg exercises.
We will work the entire body in one routine,using isometric exercises to target some muscles but the main focus is on the arms.
It is always good to vary the way we perform the exercises to make them more dynamic, fun, and challenging, and also work on other aspects such as coordination and balance.
Staying active is one of the most important aspects of leading a healthy life. People have this concept that it's necessary to spend a lot of money on gym memberships and equipment and spend hours training.
The reality is that it is not. You can start exercising from the comfort of your house and without spending money.
This week's routine is a total body stretch. You can do this stretch after your workout or at any time of the day to help you relax the muscles and activate your body.
The goal is to help the muscles relax for faster recovery and activate the body if you spend many hours sitting.
It's a gentle stretch routine that can be done by anyone, no matter their flexibility level.
Today we have a new dumbbell workout routine for the upper body.
It's an 8-minute routine, and we are gonna be doing different exercises targeting the muscles of the shoulder, bicep, tricep, and back.
This routine will not help you develop big muscles; however, depending on how consistent you are and how much weight you want to work with, it will help you gain strength and tone your arms.
Doing back stretching exercises has many benefits for people that exercise and for people who spend many hours sitting at work.
Some of the benefits of doing stretching exercises focused on the back are:
We always talk about working out, how it is necessary to exercise, how exercising will improve your life, etc.
But exercising it's not all, it is not about working out every day of the week!
In the same way, we need a break from social media, from working, and many other things to improve our mental health; our body and muscles also need a break.
It is not only good for your body to take breaks in between the exercises to help you recover, but also you need a full day to rest.
When creating a workout plan, it is vital to include rest days!
As a beginner, the difficult part of starting to workout at home is how to start?
If you want to work out at home and see results, you need to create a workout plan, but how do you create a workout plan that works?
Thinking about a workout plan can be a little overwhelming, but it is not that difficult to start with if you have your intentions clear!
