Does training on an empty stomach help me lose weight?
Training on an empty stomach can burn more fat, but it’s controversial: it doesn’t make me lose weight, and it could exhaust me, especially if the effort is intense. I’m careful to balance my energy balance between calories in and calories out and only do it in moderation in a specific context.
What is mood food?
What I eat directly affects my mood: that’s the principle behind the mood food trend, which consists of using the latest scientific findings on this subject to compose your plates. In the iFIT Mind™ programmes, Dr Eva Selhub shares her knowledge with a multitude of tips and recipes to help me feel good!
How can doing sport help me to stop smoking?
By doing sport, I can get through the smoking cessation period more easily: I’m less stressed, I can focus on new objectives, and I can let off steam when I feel like smoking. Physical activity is my best asset to succeed in quitting smoking!
Why Should I Exercise While I’m on My Period?
Exercise helps to reduce menstrual pain and maintain emotional balance. I can exercise during my period, following my usual training programme if it suits me, or modify it if I feel the need. With comfortable clothing and appropriate protection to make me feel comfortable, I can relax and unwind by exercising without any problems at any time of the month, listening to my desires and sensations.
How Do I Eat a Healthy Diet When I Exercise?
In parallel with my fitness activities, I am adopting new eating habits by improving the balance of my menus. Gone are the days of snacking, replaced by hydration and healthy ingredients! To keep my resolutions, I draw up my menus in advance so that I can do my shopping accordingly and have only good products to cook at home!
Sport helps you to fall asleep quickly because the body needs to regenerate after exercise, and the session has a soothing effect on the body. Besides, athletes sleep more deeply and more restfully. Benefit from a virtuous circle: better sleep helps to improve performance. To get the benefits of sport on sleep, adapt your activities and daily routines to a training schedule.
Doing sport in 30-minute sessions at least 3 times a week has a positive impact on your health: I reduce stress, prevent cardiovascular disease, let off steam, and enjoy better sleep. Whatever my reasons for starting physical activity, I get all these benefits over time! Go for it!
To stay well hydrated, I remember to drink before, during and after activity. During physical activity, my body regulates its temperature by sweating. I lose water and mineral salts, which I must compensate for with suitable drinks to feed my muscles and avoid the effects of dehydration. During a long effort, I can consume energy drinks. After an intense session, recovery drinks help me to recharge my body with minerals and prevent muscle soreness.
To stay in shape, I boost my fitness routine with new and trendy sports to improve my motivation and discover new sensations: Disc golf, battle ropes, Surfset Fitness, Macadamtraining, and so much more. Both indoors and outdoors, exercise is, above all, a great way to have fun!
