You're the... Yogi
Friend, you like your workouts to be rejuvenating! You want to feel clear-minded and ready to take on any task... Sure, you exercise to work up a sweat, but you also seek spiritual nourishment.By moving your body, you let go of pent-up negative emotions, which helps you keep your calm throughout the day… On top of that, you know staying in good shape is a way of honoring your-amazing-self.You probably prefer classes with a slow-pace. Like — you guessed it — yoga or pilates...But you can always switch things up a bit. Try experimenting with a high-intensity cardio class like spinning. You just might surprise yourself and find your new favorite workout!“Nothing will work unless you do.” — Maya AngelouThree science-backed ways to workout smarter? Read on, friend...1. Listen to musicIf you’ve ever hit the gym, you know how powerful playing the right tunes during your workout can be. Picture this, you’re just about to call it quits on your cardio routine when — all of the sudden — a remix of Lady Gaga’s latest hit comes on. And like magic, you’re good to go!But did you know listening to music after your workout has some serious benefits, too. One study found that playing soft tunes right after exercising reduces your body’s recovery time. Pretty cool, eh?2. Drink plenty of waterMaybe you’ve heard this tip a hundred times… But just in-case you routinely forget your water bottle at home, I’m going to tell you one more time. Keeping hydrated while exercising is 100% necessary.Why? You might ask. When you workout, you lose 2-6% of your body’s water content, which is a recipe for dehydration. Dehydration causes dizziness and exhaustion, and it’s bound to cut your gym session short.3. Try out intervalsThere’s a reason everyone and their mother are trying out interval training: it really works! When it comes to burning fat, there’s no better approach to cardio than spiking up your intensity for short periods…Then cooling off with a quick break... And spiking it right back up again!Why? You might ask. Interval training increases your speed and endurance. It’s also the most efficient form of cardio, meaning you’ll have more gym time for strength training.Who am I to tell you how to workout?
