Don’t have time for sport? Why don’t you get fit at home in 15 minutes?

How often do you hear someone saying “I didn’t have time”? Almost every day. Lies… We have time, but we don’t have the desire, so we use this easy excuse. I finished my previous post saying that sport makes us toned, healthy and happy, but as many of us do not do any sport because of the excuse discussed above I want to share with you this full body workout which you can make in the comfort of your homes. It takes only 15 minutes and makes all your muscles work- you will be surprised by the results!

The workout is composed of three stages, each of which is crucial for the final result of the workout.

The first and very important stage is Worm up & Dynamic Stretches. Why is this stage important and can we skip it and start directly with the workout? This stage prepares your mind and body for the physical activity, stretches your muscles and increases your heart rate and breathing which raises the blood and oxygen flow. Therefore, it is advisable to perform this stage before the actual workout. Each of the exercises below should be performed for 30 seconds with 15 seconds break between each.  


Stage 1


The second stage is the Full Body Workout. You need to complete one exercise right after the other without stopping in order the workout to be effective.  
 

Stage 2



The last stage of the workout is the Post-Workout Stretches. Why should we do this last stage? By making these stretches you give a chance to your muscles to recover more easily, plus you maximize your gains.

Stage 3
 


My advice is to do this routine no more than 2-3 times a week, because your muscles need some time to recover. Enjoy your time getting stronger and healthier with this fast and effective workout. And as sport and food go hand in hand, guess what my next post is going to be about. :)

You don’t have to wonder what to cook and eat anymore.

As I promised on Friday, this post is going to be about the thing without which we can’t exist. FOOD!  As you probably know sport and food go hand in hand. One without the other just doesn’t work. However, many people think that they can eat crap as long as they exercise. Not at all. Healthy eating accounts for about 70% of the work with exercise being the rest. Sport definitely produce various health benefits- you lose weight, improve your mood, tone and self-confidence. However, often people overestimate the calories they burn while working out and compensate this by overindulging themselves with junk food and alcohol. It is true that cooking takes time but what happens if you have that time but don’t have the idea of what to cook? In such cases you search in google hoping to find some suitable recipes but this is time consuming especially when you are starving after training. Don’t wonder what to eat anymore because now I am going to make your life easier. Here I am g...

The Story of One Girl and Its Message

Image
Since we are young we all learn about the different sports and activates and without even recognizing it we become part of them often because of our parents’ willingness and enthusiasm. Here I am going to share one story about me which will lead to the message I want to deliver. Now let’s go back in time when I was a little girl. My mum brought me to a public event where all the local Rhythmic Gymnastics’ clubs were presenting themselves with a short choreography. I was impressed by the beauty of this sport and soon I was part of the team- nervous and confused but at the same time excited and curious. While training this sport I went through so many moments, exhausting workouts, competitions, wins and losses. I had moments when I asked myself, “Why I am doing this and for what?”. But at that time I didn’t have clear answers… Just after I quitted this sport because “I didn’t have time” I realized what sport actually gives. Only then I could understand “why” and “for what”...
