Workout Motivation

If you are not seeing the results you would like from your workout, it could be because you are unknowingly sabotaging it. There are some small changes and new habits you can adopt in order to get the results you want.

Warm Up Before Your Workout

Before you even begin to stretch you should warm up your muscles by doing some extremely light exercising like walking or using a cardiovascular machine for 5-10 minutes. Stretching a cold muscle leads to a less-effective workout and may also lead to injury.

Stress can contribute to a number of medical problems and create health concerns over the short and long term. When the body is under stress for any reason, powerful hormones called adrenaline and cortisol are released into the body to help cope with the stress. However, the long-term impact of continued stress can be pronounced, as our bodies were not designed to be under high levels of stress for long periods of time. To keep a healthy balance in the body and mind, it is important to take steps to reduce stress levels and protect your memory.
