]]> The rowing machine is sometimes overlooked at the gym as it can be slightly repetitive and boring, but in actuality, it is one of the best full-body cardio workouts you can do. It can improve posture and tone the lower body, and the major muscles in your legs, arms, back and core must all be activated when using the machine.

Here are four reasons you should include the rowing machine in your workout.

High Intensity, Low Impact

Unlike the treadmill, you’re able to get your sweat on without injuring your knees or ankles. It can increase your cardio fitness without putting stress on your bones and joints.

Strengthen Your Core and Glutes

When you row, your core crunches and relaxes as you glide along the machine, meaning you’re doing a mini sit-up every time you row back and forth. Not to mention, pushing with your legs works on your glutes.

Track Your Improvements

If you want to get faster or build your endurance on the machine, you can start to track your improvements with the help of the information you will see on the screen. You can track your speed, Kcals, and time, and start to increase every workout.

Compliments Your Strength Workout

It can be a great ending for your strenth workout, instead of spending 30 minutes on the cross trainer, all your need is 10 minutes of intense rowing and your heart rate will increase and your arms and legs will be burning.

]]> The terms endurance and stamina are often used in the context of physical exercise. While people have a generally correct understanding of what they mean, these two terms are often mistakenly used interchangeably. While stamina and endurance are both parameters of exercise, there is a key difference between these two concepts.

Stamina refers to the ability to sustain an activity for a long period of time without getting tired. In other words, staying energetic for a long time. In running, for example, stamina is the total time the body is able to sprint. Stamina is especially important in sports that require large bursts of energy; like soccer, football and baseball.

Endurance, on the other hand, is defined as the maximum time the body, or a specific muscle can exert force and sustain one particular exercise. Examples of activities that require endurance are push-ups and sit-ups. Endurance is made up of two components: cardiovascular endurance and muscular endurance. The first is the ability of your heart and lungs to fuel your body with oxygen. The latter is the ability of your muscles to work continuously without getting tired.

So while endurance and stamina may be similar, they don’t mean quite the same thing. Regular aerobic exercise can help you improve both of these fitness qualities.

]]> Are you making a New Year’s resolution to start running? Many new runners give up running before they even start because it’s hard. One thing for sure is that you shouldn’t expect to be able to run a 5K in your first go. It takes time to build endurance, but once you build it, your runs will be so much easier. Here’s how to build endurance and run longer and faster.

Run 2-3 Times a Week

While most people think they have to run every day to build endurance if you’re looking to build your stamina you should run two to three times a day. Start with a run or walk to help your legs build strength and stamina. Also, run on non-consecutive days and mix non-running workouts throughout the day.

Mix Up Running Workouts

Mix up your runs by incorporating easy runs with both fast and short intervals in between, and running on hills throughout your week.

Incorporate Non-Running Workouts

Did you know that you can build endurance for running by not running? Cardio workouts like swimming, cycling, and yoga and strength training workouts should also be part of your training routine.

Push Yourself

Don’t go easy and don’t stop when it gets hard. You need to push yourself, but if you feel any soreness or pain, it’s best to stop running.

]]> When you start to learn more about fitness and resistance training, there are a lot of terms that are confusing, and among them are muscular strength and muscular endurance. What exactly is the difference between these two terms?

Muscular strength is the maximal load that a muscle can move. It’s measured with an isometric contraction—the muscle is activated, but not lengthened or shortened—or by someone performing a one-rep max, which is the heaviest weight they can lift for one rep of an exercise.

Deadlifts are KING 👑⁣ ⁣ One of my all time favorite exercises is the conventional deadlift.⁣ ⁣ It’s an amazing full body movement that looks ridiculously alpha. Like seriously, I can’t be the only one who thinks it’s epic to see someone lift 3 times their bodyweight off the ground!!⁣ ⁣ On top of looking cool, since it’s a full body movement it burns a TON of calories in a relatively short period of time.⁣ ⁣ Unfortunately, it is all too common to see deadlifts performed incorrectly.⁣ ⁣ So before you try to max out on deadlifts and look like a dog using the bathroom 🤣 check out my #Quick basic conventional deadlift tutorial that will be posted tomorrow!⁣ ⁣ Until then, let me know in the comments what movement you’d like to see broken down in the near future. 🤙🏼

Muscular endurance is the amount of repetitions you can do of any type of an activity and the amount of fatigue during the reps.

For improving strength, focus on completing fever reps like three to four sets of three to six reps per exercise. For endurance, do three to four sets of 20 reps.

Which one you choose to focus on depends on your goals and needs. If you increase your strength, you’ll also be increasing your endurance and vice versa.

For specific programming for workouts focused on muscular endurance and muscular strength, it’s important to work with a professional to create a baseline since everyone’s physical ability and background varies.

]]> To be a better athlete, you must build your endurance level. This determines how well you will perform. Fitness enthusiasts can also build their endurance to help them maintain a workout routine. Here are some tips to try:

Decide on a goal

What is your goal? Do you want to beat your hiking record, participate in a marathon, or increase your walking steps? You need a goal to motivate you to work harder.

Add only 10% weekly

This rule states that you should only increase your training by 10% each week. Building gradually is better. This means that if you usually run 25 miles per week, increase it by only 2.5 miles each time.

Change your pace

Maintaining one pace during your workout will not increase your endurance level. Doing one exercise for thirty minutes becomes less effective when you do it more than six times. You need to add different exercises to your workout to spice things up.

Track your progress

Use a time trial to track your progress twice every month. You can use a bike or even jog. Keep track of the stats and chart the progress so far. Take record of your heart rate, time, distance and result.

Rest

Always have rest days to prevent injuries. You also see more results when you rest
