If you have proposed to get fit and your environment is against, these tricks can help you

Among our purposes at the time of getting in shape we can consider many alternatives that range from exercising regularly to feeding ourselves properly. But not always this objective that we set ourselves can be carried out. It seems that on many occasions everything is turned against so that we can achieve our goals. That’s why we want to give some tips or tricks to overcome these obstacles that prevent us from achieving our goals.

The environment that surrounds us is very important when it comes to achieving our goals. It is true that willpower and perseverance play an important role when it comes to reaching a successful conclusion, but it is not always enough to mentalize and do our part, since in most cases the environment has to accompany us. But if this is not so we can have some aces in the sleeve to get it.

So you can integrate the elastic bands in your machine training

On countless occasions we have talked about the importance of elastic bands when exercising, since they allow us a certain autonomy. The rubbers provide resistance to our movements and are a good tool when exercising anywhere, because they can be good traveling companions. Despite this it is important that we review this device that will help us achieve better results and especially when it comes to work.

Can a medication cause the same benefits as exercise?

Many of us lack the time or strength of will to do the exercise that our body needs to stay in good shape , and both are necessary to a greater or lesser extent. Not to mention those people who due to injuries, overweight or any other physical problem do not have it easy to move.

With this in mind, will the day come when we can replace the sport with a pill that has the same effects? It sounds futuristic but the idea is not so far.

Applications and gadgets to monitor the exercise: Do they really work or are they a danger?

You just have to take a look at the offer to verify that it is overwhelming: there are dozens of mobile applications, as well as specific gadgets, which monitor our daily physical activity and set goals to be achieved.

One of the best known is walking 10,000 steps a day. The figure is not casual: it is based on a study conducted in the 60s in Japan that stated that burning a total of 2,000 calories a week through physical activity was a health benefit for middle-aged men. Hence the calculation of the 10,000 daily steps (you can find more information about this goal here).

Go ahead and play sports with the new course: Some reasons to keep us active

September is usually a month back to routine. Gone are the days of relaxation and holidays for vacation. On this date is when most of us return to training and in many other cases the approach to start playing sports appears. Therefore in this post we want to see some of the main reasons why it is highly recommended and useful to exercise.

Of course, physical activity is good for everyone at any age. But it is also true that many times we do not realize what is really capable of giving us physically. For this reason we want to make a step for the most outstanding. It is not only to lose weight or to have a more or less muscular body, but simply it is necessary to get our body to work much better at different levels and therefore we must stop at each of them.

Are 10,000 daily steps enough to be fit?

Surely all at some time you have heard the recommendation given to the general population to walk, at least, 10,000 steps a day . That said, all of a sudden, it may seem a lot, but the reality is that the equivalent distance, obviously depending on each person (especially the height of each person) are between seven and eight kilometers, which seems more affordable.

How your body changes with prolonged stress

The stress is one of the key factors that affect our health and, in turn, is one of the most elusive and difficult to handle: often comes imposed on us by conditions beyond our control and each person is affected differently.

This makes it difficult to determine exactly what the effects of stress on our body are. It would be necessary to follow a large group of people closely. measure their physical evolution and stress levels over a long period of time and rule out that any change in the first factor is caused by other reasons.

The body mass index (BMI) is not reliable: Other parameters that we can use to measure overweight and obesity

A few days ago we talked about the lack of reliability of the body mass index or BMI as one of the parameters that indicate the possible obesity or overweight of a person. And is that the body mass index only relates two factors: height and weight, without taking into account other more important as the amount of muscle mass, fat mass, the amount of water in our body or where the fat is located in the same.
