]]> Jumping rope is a fabulous cardio exercise and is a favorite for boxers, who use it for strength and balance. But there are many other reasons you should incorporate it into your weekly routine. Ten minutes per week is enough to see results and feel the benefits. Here are four reasons to jump rope every week

Improves Bone Strength

Jumping rope requires that you put weight on your bones which is a great way to improve your bone health. For young people, jumping rope helps the development of the bones. When we are older, we need to do more weight-bearing exercises to decrease the chance of osteoporosis. It also prevents injury—the stronger the bones, the harder they are to break.

Improves Cardiovascular Health

Jumping rope is higher in intensity than some other forms of cardio such as walking or cycling, and is really good for your heart and lungs. You don’t need to spend hours on the cardio machine to feel good. Just take your trusted jump rope and do interval training or HIIT for 10 minutes to reap the benefits.

Improves your Balance and Coordination

If you start slow and keep a manageable pace, you will see your coordination improve. Your balance will also get better as you do most of the movement on your toes, so you need to engage the core every time you jump.

Do It Anywhere

You don’t need a gym or lots of equipment—all you need a jump rope and space. Most jump ropes are lightweight so you can put it into a small bag and take it to a park or on vacation with you.

]]> Those who say that walking doesn’t count as exercise obviously never gave it a chance to change their life. Walking is one of the most popular fitness activities for a good reason. It’s accessible to most, you can do it anywhere, and it will provide you with some amazing health benefits. Here are three things you can do to get the most out of your walks.

Make a Walking Schedule

If you make a plan and stick to it, you will soon discover that walking is something you can’t live without. You can plan different walks for different days of the week, make them longer or shorter, casual or more intense, etc. When you can’t walk outside because of the weather, do it on a treadmill at your home or at the nearby gym.

Explore Nature

Take any chance you can get to go outside of the city and explore nature by walking. Not only you’ll enjoy some fresh air and disconnect from the real world, but the terrain will make your body work harder than usual so you’ll do a great exercise session.

Prepare Music

Music can make any workout much more effective, so choose the tunes that work for you and have a walking playlist on hand. You can put your favorite songs in it and only listen to them when walking, which will motivate you to get outside more often.

]]> Running doesn’t know limits when it comes to your shape, size, and background you come from. Why is it then that we have so much prejudice about people who run or want to run but don’t necessarily fit a typical “runner’s body” description? This makes millions of people feel like running is not for them, and then they give up. Lululemon’s new campaign aims to change that.

A New Program

The athletic apparel company has a new project in which it will share stories of runners and introduce them to the world. One of the people included in the project is Mirna Valerio, ultramarathoner and anti-racism activist. She shared that there’s still a lot of work to do in order to include various groups of people in the running community, although the first steps towards inclusivity have been made.

“One area of particular contention is the attempt to be inclusive of all bodies in running advertising, in publications harboring an incredible amount of diet culture pieces and advertisements posing as articles. It’s really insidious,” Valerio tells Shape.

For Everyone

Running doesn’t belong to one body type. Everybody can be a runner if that’s what they want, and we hope this will soon become something that shouldn’t even be discussed.

]]> High-intensity workouts have been extremely popular lately, but that doesn’t mean they are universally the best for everyone. There are many differences between low, moderate, and high-intensity workouts and some may fit you better than the others.

Understanding It

The exercise intensity represents how hard your heart works when you’re active. During low-intensity exercise, your heart rate is lower and you can talk to someone normally without problems. Moderate-intensity activities raise your heart rate a little bit and don’t allow you to keep the conversation going. High-intensity workouts leave you out of breath in no time and there’s no way to talk to someone while you’re active.

Pros and Cons

Each intensity level has certain advantages. Low-intensity exercise is great for beginners or for rest days. The risk of injury is lower and your body can still prepare for more difficult workouts. Moderate-intensity activities help your body burn fat and leave you with plenty of energy.

High-intensity activities mean that you’re testing the limits of your body and you can get to your fitness goal faster. Training at your maximum capacity means that you’ll need less time to reap the benefits of exercise.

The most important thing is not to always chase the higher level of intensity, but to stay active at any level as much as your circumstances allow you.

]]> Most of us used to be at least somewhat active during the day before the pandemic started. Whether it was a walk to work, going out dancing, going shopping with a best friend—all those things added activity to our days without us having to think about them. But that all changed in March of last year when we were forced to start spending more time inside and found comfort in binging Netflix shows, preparing delicious foods, and doing work on the couch in comfy clothes.

Getting Back into the Groove

Once things get back to normal, it will surely be difficult to get used to all the changes which is why it’s important to try and stay active now. Not moving enough can significantly impact physical and mental health. You’ve probably noticed you start feeling worse after not leaving the house for a few days. Anxiety, back pain, and headache are just a few symptoms of a sedentary lifestyle, and beating them can be as simple as setting aside five minutes of every hour to move around.

You can do a lot for your health if you get up every hour to move your body for around five minutes. You can stretch, tidy your room, or dance to your favorite song. All these activities will help you get back to your desk energized and prevent many problems.

]]> Sensitive knees can make common activities like walking a lot more difficult, but it’s often necessary to stay active in order to reduce the symptoms and keep the muscles strong. Knee pain shouldn’t keep you from walking and here are three things that can make it easier for you.

Set Goals

Moderate walking can be a great exercise, but in order to track your progress you need to set goals for yourself. 6,000 or 10,000 steps per day sounds good, but if it’s unnatural in the beginning for you to hit those goals that’s also fine. Set smaller goals and increase them when you can.

Get the Right Shoes

Proper shoes are important for walking when your knees are sensitive. They should be flat and flexible enough so your feet are comfortable at all times.

Add Cycling

Riding a bike or a stationary bike is a great way to strengthen your muscles while being gentle on your knees, so combining it with walking can be very beneficial. Once your leg muscles are in better shape, they can then support your body weight on longer walks without putting additional pressure on the knees.

]]> Right now, the place where you live may not have gyms open or it’s simply not safe enough to go to them, and many of us don’t have much choice for getting physically active aside from walking outside or exercising at home. And while home workouts can be very effective, you also need to go out and get some fresh air so here’s how to turn your walking session into a great workout.

Practice the Technique

When you want to turn walking into an effective workout, it’s important to stand tall, look up, and swing your arms a bit more than you normally would. Keep your shoulders back and down.

Take Long Walks

The length of your long walk will depend on many factors, but a good idea is to add 10% distance once per week when you go on your long walks. Turn those 2 miles into 2.2 miles the next time you walk.

Walk Faster

You will burn more calories and increase your heart rate if you walk faster. It’s also a good idea to switch between fast and slow walk every minute or two. This can also be turned into a fun game you can play with yourself to make the walks more interesting.

Her new 10-minute no-equipment ab workout may be just the thing you’re looking for.

A strong core is crucial for everyone, no matter your fitness level and goals. It’s not easy to get but you’ll be thankful for doing core strengthening exercises in the long run. Expect the workout to leave you sore every time, but it’s also fun and different from anything you’re used to. Here’s how to do it.

  • 100 reps of the hundred
  • 5 reps of the roll-up
  • 10 reps of single-leg stretch on each leg
  • 10 reps of double-leg stretch

What you eat and drink before going out to exercise can help you improve performance and stay safe and comfortable. The right nutrition will keep your body warm and fueled for exercise. Your body temperature will quickly drop when it’s cold outside and you need to work harder to keep yourself warm. The first thing you need to do is to make sure you’re properly hydrated. Not drinking plenty of water is one of the most common reasons for poor performance in the cold.

Staying hydrated 💦💦 Hydration is such an important aspect, both physically and mentally. Our body is made up of about 60% of water and staying hydrated is key in keeping your body running.

When it comes to food, complex carbohydrates are your best choice. Two hours before exercise, have bread, bagels, pasta, or baked potatoes combined with lean meat and low-fat cheese, for example. Bring some energy bars, sandwiches, or bananas with you so you can replace the carbs you use.

Once things get back to normal, it will surely be difficult to get used to all the changes which is why it’s important to try and stay active now. Not moving enough can significantly impact physical and mental health. You’ve probably noticed you start feeling worse after not leaving the house for a few days. Anxiety, back pain, and headache are just a few symptoms of a sedentary lifestyle, and beating them can be as simple as setting aside five minutes of every hour to move around.

You can do a lot for your health if you get up every hour to move your body for around five minutes. You can stretch, tidy your room, or dance to your favorite song. All these activities will help you get back to your desk energized and prevent many problems.

]]> Sensitive knees can make common activities like walking a lot more difficult, but it’s often necessary to stay active in order to reduce the symptoms and keep the muscles strong. Knee pain shouldn’t keep you from walking and here are three things that can make it easier for you.

Set Goals

Moderate walking can be a great exercise, but in order to track your progress you need to set goals for yourself. 6,000 or 10,000 steps per day sounds good, but if it’s unnatural in the beginning for you to hit those goals that’s also fine. Set smaller goals and increase them when you can.

Get the Right Shoes

Proper shoes are important for walking when your knees are sensitive. They should be flat and flexible enough so your feet are comfortable at all times.

Add Cycling

Riding a bike or a stationary bike is a great way to strengthen your muscles while being gentle on your knees, so combining it with walking can be very beneficial. Once your leg muscles are in better shape, they can then support your body weight on longer walks without putting additional pressure on the knees.

]]> Right now, the place where you live may not have gyms open or it’s simply not safe enough to go to them, and many of us don’t have much choice for getting physically active aside from walking outside or exercising at home. And while home workouts can be very effective, you also need to go out and get some fresh air so here’s how to turn your walking session into a great workout.

Practice the Technique

When you want to turn walking into an effective workout, it’s important to stand tall, look up, and swing your arms a bit more than you normally would. Keep your shoulders back and down.

Take Long Walks

The length of your long walk will depend on many factors, but a good idea is to add 10% distance once per week when you go on your long walks. Turn those 2 miles into 2.2 miles the next time you walk.

Walk Faster

You will burn more calories and increase your heart rate if you walk faster. It’s also a good idea to switch between fast and slow walk every minute or two. This can also be turned into a fun game you can play with yourself to make the walks more interesting.

What you eat and drink before going out to exercise can help you improve performance and stay safe and comfortable. The right nutrition will keep your body warm and fueled for exercise. Your body temperature will quickly drop when it’s cold outside and you need to work harder to keep yourself warm. The first thing you need to do is to make sure you’re properly hydrated. Not drinking plenty of water is one of the most common reasons for poor performance in the cold.

When it comes to food, complex carbohydrates are your best choice. Two hours before exercise, have bread, bagels, pasta, or baked potatoes combined with lean meat and low-fat cheese, for example. Bring some energy bars, sandwiches, or bananas with you so you can replace the carbs you use.
