Weights
When you injure your arm or leg, keep exercising with the healthy limbs to maintain your fitness level. This will not only help maintain your strength in your “good” limb while you recover, it also stimulates the muscles and nerves in your injured area.
A good tip for people that mountain bikes is leaning the body forward when they ride their bikes uphill. This keeps the weight evenly distributed and the front wheel on the ground. When you lean back, this could possibly cause the front wheel to come up off the ground, causing you to work harder.
A lot of people try to get fit by lifting weights. Actually, there are a few exercises for the body that are simple and effective such as the pull-up, squats, bridges, leg raises, handstand push-ups and pull-ups.
Speed
Think about your run in three sections. Work your way to a running pace that is faster than you normally would run by starting slowly. For the last portion of your run, push as hard as you can and run faster than your average pace. This helps increase your endurance and eventually, you should be able to start running longer every time you run.
Try to keep an even speed when you are riding your bike to work. You will be able to ride farther at a faster pace without causing undue strain on your knees. Check your pace by figuring out how many times you raise your right leg in ten seconds and multiplying that sum by six. Shoot for the 80 to 110 RPM range.
Fit Lifestyle
You can intensify your workouts and make them more effective by practicing controlled breathing. While you are doing crunches, exhale forcefully as soon as your shoulders reach the top of the movement. A deep exhalation works your ab muscles harder with each contraction.
A fit lifestyle might feel challenging, but it is also quite enjoyable. Incorporate some of these tips into your regimen. Think about getting fit as something that will require effort each day. The more often you exercise, the greater the progress toward your fitness goals.
