What will they ask us?
I had a baby six months ago.
I want to get back to state-can you give me a plan?
I am unwell and lack self-confidence, but I am happy to build a fitness system.
What advice do you have?
I don\'t think it\'s appropriate. I want to have fun lessons with my friends and start a new exercise system.
What\'s outside?

I really want to start working out this year-what new trends should I try?
This year, I will add a new fitness pack to my Christmas wish list.
What should I look for in fitness equipment, coaching and equipment?
Fitness gear is always the first on my Christmas wish list and is worth investing in (
Or let Santa go! )
When quality affects your performance.
I found sneakers, sports bras and leggings to be items worth more money.
This is for footwear to meet your needs and adequate ventilation.
I love the new balance coach because they have a lot of options to fit in and it lasts a long time.
When buying a sports bra, give priority to fit and support for fashion.
Through the range of shock absorbers (shockabsorber. co. uk)
Great for high-
But there are many other good brands.
I even found a variety of designs and sizes in Marks & Spencer.
For leggings that are both practical and make you look good, you can choose the elastic fiber mixture.
The fabric with at least 10 cents of elastic fiber will fit you well and soondrying (
Hit those embarrassing sweat patches).
The range of Sweaty Betty (sweatybetty. com)
Definitely high.
End, but also high
Technical and flattering, so great for gifts.
To update your fitness pack, consider asking for a new yoga mat that will be big next year as a fitness program with mindfulness elements like yoga, Pilates, Tai Chi and the fusion of these exercises.
I have been working out at home with a fitness video but am looking for other options.
What is the trend now?
It\'s right to mix things together: This is the key to sticking to the fitness program.
The resistance band is my favorite-home workouts.
Another affordable and interesting-
The family option is to skip.
Yes, just like the kids on the playground!
It\'s also an effective aerobic exercise to exercise your shoulders, arms, bottom and legs. Try this 12-
Jump rope routine in minutes, do each step in 30 seconds
The second rest in the middle: jumping legs (
Feet together)
One leg jump (
Jump from 1 feet to other)
Jump before and after (
Feet together)
And wide jump (
It\'s like a star jumping, but not lifting the arm, but swinging the rope).
Repeat the circuit three times.
Once you can move comfortably for 30 seconds, increase to 40 seconds with 20 secondssecond rest.
If you\'re willing to put more money into your gear, consider a rebounder-a small trampoline you can use for fun cardio.
Or try to use the suspension belt with the door attachment.
You place two nylon, webbing straps on your feet or hands to partially hang your body and use your own weight as resistance.
They fit all levels and can help strengthen your whole body.
I can find a personal trainer in the gym, but after six months I didn\'t see the result and I lost my motivation!
What should I do?
It is very common to reach the plateau at some point during your fitness tour.
We usually start with a great deal of enthusiasm and pay 100, but after a while our attention may be distracted and we cannot see progress.
The job of your personal trainer is to notice the decline in these motivations and motivate you to overcome them.
I often spend time with my clients, especially when they go through busy or stressful events like moving, getting married or having trouble at work.
Is there anything in your life that affects your mood at this moment?
If so, you can adjust your exercise according to your mood.
For example, if my clients are stressed or unhappy, we do some yoga or core exercises to help them relax.
Maybe it\'s time to re-evaluate your goals.
Keeping different fitness habits will challenge your body in different ways and minimize the drop in enthusiasm.
So, think about how to mix your daily life with something you \'ve never tried before and talk to your PT.
They should be able to provide you with a variety of exercise options and be flexible about meeting plans.
But if you\'re not comfortable asking them for custom support, or if they can\'t, consider moving to a different PT or signing up for some fitness classes.
I only have time to exercise when the children are in bed.
Can you recommend a good combination? and-
Can I do the game routine at home?
When you have kids to take care of, it\'s hard to incorporate a dedicated fitness program, so try to do a good job!
If you are restricted from exercising at home, try some exercise videos as they provide extra motivation to work out with an expert, but can be compressed into any schedule.
WW recently added nine new fitness videos to the fitness center-all of which are less than 10 minutes.
And a 12-
Weekly training program designed for beginners.
You can also find a lot of exercise videos on YouTube, including yoga, Pilates, HIIT and free weight exercises.
To get the most health benefits, I would suggest mixing several types of exercise.
In addition, the goal is to complete three aerobic or aerobic exercises per week, two resistance training sessions, and one focus on flexibility, such as yoga.
I love the privacy of home workouts, but sometimes I miss the social aspect and also the motivation to take part in group classes or gym workouts.
To make your workout more social, once the kids are in bed, invite friends to watch a workout video with you, or set up a Whatsapp group with other moms for some friendly competition.
For example, who can get the most Fitbit activity minutes in a week.
Who makes the least, who buys drinks the next time you meet --up. Good luck!
I\'m going on a beach vacation and want to keep up with my new fitness plan, but I\'m having a hard time working out in hot weather?
What can I do to keep healthy?
It\'s always a good idea to keep our healthy habits while we\'re on vacation, but once we land, the hot weather (and happy-hour cocktails! )
We will soon be motivated.
Making plans before taking off is the best way to manage traps and keep promises.
If your hotel has a gym, or you can use the facilities nearby, find out the opening hours and plan to go at a time that meets your schedule to avoid the heat.
Early in the morning is often the coolest, and if the first thing you do is exercise, you will bypass the crowd and feel the energy of the day (
You can always take a nap later).
If it\'s not your thing in the morning, there\'s air in the fitness facility-
Con, go to the gym to avoid the heat at noon.
Remember to drink a lot of water before, during and after exercise, just like the Sun (and alcohol)
Can be very dehydrated.
Listen to your body and if you are overheating, take a break and calm down.
After a day in the sun, you may feel too sleepy to exercise, but if you prefer to be active at night, try walking on the beach, or 10-
15 minute routine of the body
Do weights before dinner.
I am determined to work out this summer.
Better for my health: more frequent moderate activity or a few strenuous exercises?
Health benefits are the same-exercise helps keep you healthy, control your blood pressure, maintain strength and mobility, and reduce the risk of stroke, diabetes and certain cancers.
Working at a higher intensity is only a more efficient time.
However, it has a greater risk of injury, such as a sprain, a fracture, or a heart problem, and beginners should be particularly careful.
The NHS recently updated its sports guide, although it still recommends that we do at least 150 minutes of moderate activity (
Such as riding a bicycle or walking)
Added strength exercises twice a week and now added a second option for 75 minutes of \"vitality\" exercises (
Like running or playing tennis)
, Plus strength exercises twice a week.
Of course, you can have both.
The frequency and intensity of exercise depends on your fitness goals and the type of exercise you like.
Keep in mind that any activity can be moderate or intense depending on your fitness level and how hard you work.
You may find that exercise will be a part of your lifestyle by doing 30 minutes of moderate activity at least five days a week.
If, like me, you like to push yourself and want to challenge your body, then you might like to increase the intensity and I like the buzz I get from the hard workouts, seeing that my body is getting stronger has achieved something I never thought about.
I tried to run before and after work, but I found this to get in the way of breakfast or dinner.
How do I exercise during my meal time?
Most of the people I work with are stronger and faster, with some fuel in the tank.
No matter when you are running, a good guide is to have a vibrant meal
3 hours in advance or a snack
60 minutes ago.
If you stop eating (
Or not at all)
You can feel the light
During exercise.
However, eating too early before you run can make you feel sick or dull.
Complex carbohydrates are the key to strenuous exercise because they are broken down into glucose-the main source of energy for the body.
Great selection including whole wheat pasta, brown rice and cruston potatoes.
If you are running before breakfast, eat a portion of the starch carbohydrate \"starch\" 30 minutes before departure and then eat again.
I usually exercise early in the morning, eat broken wheat in advance, and then come back to eat eggs.
If you run after work, have lunch a little later than usual, or have an afternoon snack.
After running for dinner, if you can, it\'s better to be in half an hour.
After strenuous exercise, your body will be in repair mode, so it is best to refuel as soon as possible. The best post-
Sports meals will include high
High quality protein such as lean meat or fish, vegetables, and a small portion of carbohydrates such as sweet potatoes.
Why does a man seem to be thinner than a woman?
Is there anything I can do to speed up my weight loss?
Men seem to have an advantage in this case, but this is usually just short term.
Although in the first two months of the new diet and exercise program, men will lose twice as much weight as women, in the six months, the overall weight loss between the sexes is almost equal.
Men usually have more muscles than women, which consumes more calories than body fat, which means faster rest metabolism and faster weight loss.
Due to their higher testosterone levels, it is easier for men to build this muscle than for women, so get a bodybuilding look faster.
I work with men and women and notice some interesting differences.
In my experience, men prefer resistance and weight lifting, while women often choose aerobic exercise.
Resistance training won\'t make you lose weight faster, but it will make you look more toned than a separate aerobic exercise.
I \'ve also noticed a few other things-men often approach the fitness program with strategy and focus and make it a priority.
In contrast, women can put more of the needs of others (
Like their children)
Ahead of themselves.
So don\'t be afraid to be selfish and make time for your workout.
In the end, the happier you are, the healthier you are, the more you can support others.
I have seen a lot of protein shakes in the supermarket.
Who usually needs these, will they be good for me when I exercise?
Like other high protein shakes, protein shakes are popular
Protein Foods, which can provide the nutrients you need to repair and build your tissues and muscles, and help you feel more fulfilling for a long time.
Bodybuilders often drink this milkshake to quickly take protein into the muscles, and it is beneficial for them to take protein after exercise, but most people don\'t need this food, even if they exercise regularly.
Milkshakes are not a magic answer when it comes to health or weight loss.
We all need to add protein to our diet, but you can get what you need from your daily food, such as chicken, fish, eggs, dairy products and soy.
For example, protein shakes usually contain 20-
30 grams of protein, while the medium chicken breast contains about 40 grams of protein.
As a guide, most people who only do light exercises need 0.
8g protein per kilogram of weight, athletes need 1. 4-1. 8 grams per kilogram.
Some people find protein shakes handy during the trip and like the taste.
If you are exercising violently and want to try shaking, be sure to use the nutrition information to calculate the smart point value like any other food.
Also, please note that some foods are rich in hidden sugar and fat, which makes them high at smart points.
I took pole dancing classes twice a week and walked two miles a day, but I didn\'t lose much weight!
Can I speed up my metabolism?
There are a lot of food, drinks and pills that claim to speed up metabolism, but the science behind them is always weak.
Metabolism is the speed at which the body burns calories, and the only guaranteed way for the body to burn more calories is to exercise.
Exercise intensity affects metabolic rates, which is why exercise gets more health points at higher intensity at any given time®.
For example, a 30-minute sprint interval workout consumes more calories than a half-hour walk at a gentle pace, so get more fitness points.
We burn more calories per pound of muscle than a pound of fat, so increasing muscle mass helps boost metabolism.
Consider doing some resistance exercises like weight lifting, which is also great for color matching.
Walking at a faster pace will ensure you get more from the two miles you walk every day.
You may be frustrated with the speed at which you lose weight, which is understandable, but it is effective to remember that your exercise and healthy diet plan.
So stay positive, enjoy feeling stronger and focus on non
Victory of scale, too.
I want to be stronger this year.
I \'ve heard a lot about strength training, but what exactly is it and why is it so important to women as it grows older?
Strength training is done according to the tin cans-it helps to make you stronger, which can feel good in many areas of your life.
Everyday tasks-such as cleaning the house and carrying shopping bags-will be easier to manage when you are stronger.
Strength training also helps us to maintain a fulfilling and active life as we age.
The process of muscle building can also reduce blood pressure, build a stronger heart, increase bone density, reduce muscle loss as you age, improve coordination and balance.
Oh, did I mention that it also helps to boost metabolism and regulate the body so you look great and feel great too?
Don\'t be afraid if you don\'t like the gym at the gym.
You can get these benefits from light resistance training a few times a week, using hand weights, resistance bands and even your own weight.
Start with mastering basic movements such as squatting, lunching, and pressing
Sit back, press back, shoulder. Look online (
Try searching for demos on YouTube)
Or ask the fitness trainer to teach you the right techniques so you know that you are doing the action safely and effectively in order to get the best results.
Gradually increase the weight or resistance band tension as you progress.
How should I exercise during Christmas?
I usually exercise three times a week.
If I take a break, how much will it affect my weight loss?
This is a busy time of the year, so I can understand why you might want to take a break from exercise.
Sometimes, planned rest is actually good for our body and mind.
Still, don\'t rest too much, otherwise it will be difficult to get back to your usual life in the new year.
After just a week or two of rest, you should not notice that your health condition has dropped too much, but the initial recovery may be more difficult than normal.
I usually reduce the number of classes during Christmas, but I will make them more focused.
So my goal is probably just to do one.
Intensity training every week, not my usual three to five.
Also, I am trying to stay active in other ways to achieve my weekly fitness goals.
It can be a challenge during the festival for your weight loss, but there is no need to worry about it.
Staying active definitely helps me to keep my focus on healthy habits and prevent this period from becoming a complete blowout, so try to do so.
No matter what you do, have fun-it\'s time to enjoy yourself.
Why not try some super fun social activities like skating or even sledding with your family and friends (if it snows! )?
It brings a smile to everyone-and brings out the kids on you!
When it was cold that day, I found it difficult to have the motivation to exercise outside.
How can I overcome it?
Because I tend to be fair, I can relate to thisweather runner!
I get a cold easily, so the idea of jogging on a cold, dark night is less appealing.
At this time of year, I usually treat myself with some trendy new accessories-warm headband, wool gloves and comfortable vests.
I also like to refresh my playlist with some new, vibrant songs.
Cold weather means it takes longer for your muscles to warm up, which may make it harder for you to go, so consider doing part of the warm up
At home, maybe a little more time before you go out will allow the blood to really circulate.
If you\'re still trying to find motivation, why not try something brand new?
Check the details of your local fitness course online or go to the indoor pool and you can then warm up in the sauna.
It\'s great to do something new because it will challenge your body in a different way.
This winter, I promised to learn squash and found a friend to teach me, adding social and extra motivation for me to get out of the house.
I have signed up for a fitness course but I don\'t know how to choose a sports bra. Can you help?
It\'s a good idea to put together the right underwear before you start exercising, as it will help to put pressure on your workout-
Free and safer.
A good sports bra can make the movement more comfortable, reduce the chance of back pain, and help prevent the breast from drooping over time.
The main thing to consider is the level of support you need because the bigger your breasts are, the more they move with exercise.
Next, think about the type of event you sign up. For low-
For impact classes like yoga or Pilates, you can be more comfortable wearing a lightweight support bra.
If you have more energy, go ahead and do it. for high-
The impact of aerobic exercise or running, you need full support.
Choose a professional installation in order to get the right size.
The M & S offers free accessories and a good selection of styles and sizes.
I also like the next one, feilev and bravisimo.
Keep in mind that the sports bra is designed to reduce movement, so it will inevitably be more comfortable than your regular bra.
You will be quick to thank the extra help when your workout starts and you are sweating!
I really want to enhance my hips and thighs-what is the best way to exercise in this regard?
Most women who come to my studio want to add color to these areas!
Many of us are aware of this, including me.
You need to resist in order to strengthen your muscles-increase your weight or increase your own.
Crouching down and lunching are popular bodies
For weight exercises on hips and thighs, this is a good practice as you can sneak in some at almost any place or at any time.
My favorite base Toner is called \"glute bridge \".
To do this, lay on your back, bend your knees, flat feet, around your hips
Width distance.
When you push your hips up, squeeze your bottom tightly and keep the top of your shoulders on the floor and the top of your knees apart.
Keep it for a few seconds and slowly lower your bottom. Repeat this 10-15 times.
While you want to target a specific area, it is important to keep a whole
If your goals include weight loss and fitness, you should include some cardio.
Climbing the stairs, running up the hill and hitting the cross trainer are the best options for working the bottom and legs.
How can I improve my flexibility?
I am in my 40 s and feel less flexible than ever before.
Our bodies are designed for activity and stretching, but many people live quite sedentary lives;
This may lead to a lack of flexibility and strength over the years.
I can recommend a few ideas for you.
First of all, go swimming and stretch and exercise your body with a lot of different moves: the breaststroke moves your thighs, chest and back, the front crawl stretches your back, hips and feet.
Swimming exercises cardiovascular health and flexibility in a floating environment, which is less pressure on joints than on a solid ground.
Secondly, yoga is a great way to improve flexibility, stability and strength.
It stretches the whole body in a way that directly reflects how we move in our daily lives (
For example, bend down to pick something).
Finally, if you are in good health, you can try racket sports such as tennis, squash and badminton;
They are perfect for mobilization and flexibility due to the many
Direction movement is involved.
You will soon bend, push, and distort your way of fitness.
Some of my friends and I are going to have a personal coach.
What should we ask?
What will they ask us? Great decision!
Under the expert guidance of a sports expert, become motivated with your friends, which is a successful formula for fitness.
A good coach will appreciate asking questions because it means you have considered the process and are enthusiastic.
When discussing your goals, tell them what your weaknesses are and discuss how they best motivate you to succeed.
Find their way.
Do they focus on intermittent training or cardio or do they have more funbased strategy?
Ask them how they measure your success and support your nutrition and diet plan.
Questions they should ask you include whether you have any injuries or physical condition, your history of movement, how important it is to achieve your goals, and how confident you are.
They should also ask about nutrition and may advise you to show them the food diary for the past three days.
Exchanging this information will help you to get the best training sessions. Enjoy!
I had a baby six months ago.
I want to get back to state-can you give me a plan?
When you get the doctor\'s consent, it\'s a good idea to re-exercise after delivery-stay healthy and give yourself time as well.
Be careful even after a few months, as your body is still recovering, so discuss your plan with your GP. Go for low-
Influence exercises (
Be careful with activities such as running, as your ligaments and joints are still fragile).
You need to raise your heart rate and get out of breath in about 20 minutes
30 minutes, 3 or more times a week-I recommend three events for my new mom. First is power-
Walking: It\'s great as it can fit into your normal day.
Just take your child into the carriage and increase the intensity of \"walking\" at your own pace.
Next, yoga is great for strength and flexibility: some styles, like Hatha, are very gentle, but others (
Vinyasa, for example)
Good elements of aerobic exercise are also required.
Finally, swimming is perfect.
Circular motion-it will increase your heart rate, however, the risk of injury is minimal due to the support provided by the water for you.
I am unwell and lack self-confidence, but I am happy to build a fitness system.
What advice do you have?
Do a good job taking the first step!
Once you start working out and start realizing the benefits of working out, you\'ll love it soon.
Until then, you may need to keep reminding yourself why it is so important to you.
You need to stop seeing the activity as a chore.
Instead, see it as an opportunity for me --
Time, or chance to catch up with friends.
Write a fitness log, write down what kind of activity you did and how it made you feel, and write down No.
The scale of victory, such as giving up clothing size.
Remember, it is not necessary to exercise in the gym.
I just started walking around the block.
When I walked for the first time, I was shocked after only one lap.
But, back in a few weeks, I was surprised by my progress-I could run three laps without panting!
You can also make yourself a fitness \"loyalty card\" and give yourself a stamp every time you do some activities.
Set yourself a little reward when you get 10, 20 or even 50 stamps.
New headphones or fitness kits will give you more motivation.
I don\'t think it\'s appropriate. I want to have fun lessons with my friends and start a new exercise system.
What\'s outside?
There are so many new and exciting classes to try.
Personally, I think fitness is great. fun.
You\'ll be raving about some retro dance figures, like going out for the night with the girls-other than that, you won\'t wake up with a hangover and you\'ll feel refreshed the next day, refreshed!
This is an unusual twist for an old favorite looking for Aqua Zumba courses in your local pool.
They offer all the fun of some loot
Trembling movements will not have a serious impact on your knees.
If you want to try something really different then check out the unusual dance classes like Bollywood or jazz.
You will see the best results if you do various types of sports, so keep confusing your state.
Why not guarantee to try something new once a month?
Different movements will constantly challenge your body and will prevent you from getting bored very quickly.
Finally, no matter what course you decide to try, just make sure you work at your own comfortable pace.
How do I adapt to fitness when I\'m on vacation with the kids, everyday is different from the next day?
Plan ahead and work on the fitness plan for the holidays well done! Busy, family-
Friendly resorts often offer fun activities to move and make the kids happy-see the entertainment schedule for what you can do together.
If you live in a place where you don\'t have these facilities, pack a ball or Frisbee, find some open space and play games yourself.
Perhaps the most obvious way to stay active during the holidays is to swim-if you live where there is a pool, commit to doing 10 length exercises on the first day (
Or manage as much as possible)
, Add a few lengths every day.
During the holidays, I like to get up early and take a walk or jog on the beach at sunrise.
It\'s a bit cold and it\'s so quiet to own the beach alone-plus, it\'s an opportunity to check out local attractions before the crowds arrive.
The most important thing is to enjoy your holiday as changing the scenery is a great way to relax and recharge.
I run outdoors, but it\'s hard for me to stick with it when it\'s cold.
To keep my activity level, what kind of sports can I do at home?
It\'s great to run because it\'s a super calorie that allows you to exercise outdoors
Burner, no need for any special equipment, so try to find some activity in the room to do it, just like running.
When you don\'t run, squatting is a great way to keep your legs fit.
Try 20 times at a time and go as deep as possible-in the end, you want your bottom to reach your heel.
But try this whole body circuit if you want something more structured.
Do the following three rounds: You can also try the fitness DVD.
Dance training in particular is fun, keeping pace and improving flexibility.
I really want to start working out this year-what new trends should I try?
This is a good time to try out new fitness classes as there are a lot of options to choose from: they will keep you motivated and challenge your body.
The baleban in the United States is booming, which is also the trend here.
Most of them use postures trained in ballet and yoga, Pilates, etc.
When you do exercises that focus on waiting for long strength training, barre is used as a prop (
Stay still when you contract a specific muscle).
I also noticed the revival of yoga in the UK-the balance of movement, flexibility, breathing and meditation.
This may be due to the prevalence of mindfulness, as more and more people recognize that maintaining physical and mental health is critical to overall health.
In addition to barre and yoga, HIIT (high-
Intensity Interval Training)
Become strong and give the Weight of Glory-loss results.
Finally, take a look at the local area, as more and more gyms offer a \"boutique\" professional training experience based on anything from cycling and running to strengthening and conditioning. Pick one (or more! )
These ways of fitness and entertainment!
