iOS/Android: When I run, my inner monologue sounds like an argument between a good coach and a bad coach. One voice tells me to take it easy, find my best pace, not to look at my watch, just find the right level of effort. Then the other voice butts in to say something like "Oh, look at you, running so slow, and you're already tired! You suck!"
It's no surprise consistent exercise keeps you healthy, but a new study suggests a certain type of workout can actually dramatically improve your longevity. This is how you can get your sweat on well into your golden years.
If you're crunched for time, hitting the gym right before work or during lunch might be your only options. And that probably means you can't squeeze in a shower. Here's how you can get back to work quickly without feeling like a sweaty, stinky mess.
If you can only work out a couple days per week, you probably do both your lifting and cardio exercises on the same days. While that's not ideal, you can maximise the benefits if you lift before you run. Here's why.
Working out with your partner isn't always easy, especially if you're at different levels of fitness or what you want to focus on isn't the same. These are both reasons why I don't usually work out with my boyfriend, but this weekend we gave a bodyweight couples workout a try and it was really successful!
Push-ups are a great exercise, but they're often done incorrectly, meaning you miss out on some big strength benefits. One simple fix is to change the position of your body and arms to form an "arrow" pointing up towards your head, instead of a T-formation.
Your gym culture can often make or break your fitness experience, so it's important that you go to one that suits you. There's a reason CrossFit appeals to so many fitness first-timers and veterans alike: It's more of a community than it is a place where you splash around in a puddle of your own sweat.
