]]>While few studies on the medical benefits of ice baths have been done, they are shown to help alleviate pain and inflammation given that they are a form of cold exposure therapy, otherwise known as cryotherapy. This is particularly helpful if ever you feel sore after exercise or perhaps have an injury.
One study published in the International Journal of Circumpolar Health showed that immersion into cold water can potentially not only boost your immune system but also improve cardiovascular health and insulin resistance. While more studies will be required in order to uncover more information, this at least shows that ice baths are not detrimental to you.

]]>Considering how many pre-workouts are on the market, you have your choice of consuming them via capsules, powders, liquids, or bars. The most popular option is probably powder as most people add it to a smoothie or use water to make it into a drink.
Unfortunately, there are always a few to remind us why we can’t have nice things.
A new trend has emerged that involves people swallowing the supplement in powder form.
Although it seems like a quick and easy way to take your pre-workout (especially if you don’t have water at hand), but the risks are actually rather dangerous.
With dry-scooping, as it is known, there is the possibility of inhaling the powder which can then affect your breathing, cause choking, and result in the supplement entering your lungs.
Downing the powder in its original form also has the potential to induce a caffeine overdose. According to the National Capital Poison Center, a caffeine overdose caused by dry-scooping led to a healthy 20-year-old woman having a mild heart attack.
Studies have also shown that dry-scooping doesn’t actually improve performance, as some devotees of the method claim.
So, rather scoop your supplement into a smoothie. It tastes better anyway.

]]>These sports bras provide the coverage you want while you’re at the gym and they’re great for women who are larger-chested. They provide lots of support and you don’t even need to wear a tank with them.

]]>This is a fairly new method that combines barre with Pilates. In other words, it’s a low-impact class that targets the whole body and focuses on the problematic areas most women struggle with: abdomen, arms, hips, and thighs. This does not mean that men should not try this type of exercise.
The main advantage that these classes offer is fast results. Yes, you’re hooked already, right? This is definitely something everyone dreams of, getting fit as fast as possible.
The exercises are dynamic, interesting, and you will never be bored. Another huge advantage is that you won’t have to bring anything with you, they provide all the equipment. One thing that you should know before going is that these workouts tend to be costly.

]]>It all started back in 2016 at a farm in Willamette Valley, Oregon. The owner was getting ready to celebrate her birthday by inviting a yoga instructor, who got the amazing idea to include goats. Now, three years later, it’s a class that has thousands of people on waiting lists.
The main question is is this any different from regular yoga? You’ll be surprised to hear that it’s not. You’ll be doing the same poses, just in the presence of cute goats.
Goats love interacting with people and will climb anything at any time. The whole beauty of the class is that you’ll be laughing so hard and completely forget about any worries or anxiety. At the same time, the cute animals will make the yoga class a bit more demanding. Classes usually take half an hour, and you should try finding one that is near you.
