Gone are the days of hour-long gym sessions and ‘leg day.’ Now is the age of total body toning, in less time than ever before. This is where functional fitness comes in.
Your goal is to get to the gym, do your exercises and get out, right? Hold on a second. The order you do your exercises in can actually impact the results you get.
If you really want to elevate your fitness, you’ve got to look at the whole picture. That means you’re conscious of what you’re eating both before and after the gym.
When you skip stretching before and/or after your workout, you may be saving some time but you’re also gambling with your body. It’s not just about warming up and cooling down, it’s about preventing injury and protecting your physical health.
It takes more than talent and timing to rise to the top of the ranks as an athlete. It's clear when watching a world-class competition like the Rio Olympics, that those who reach the “elite” status share the same key characteristics.
It’s not just about watching your carbs or cutting calories anymore, it’s about mindful, healthful consumption of food. It’s about thinking greener and eating greener, while keep more of your green in the bank.
