TOP FEATURES of Full-Body Workouts:
Increased muscle balance and coordination were also noticed, all of
which are characteristic of well trained athletes. Save time as these
exercises work on several muscles at once session. Muscle gain and fat
loss since the activity increases the number of calories burnt in the body.

An Example of Basic Exercises to Perform a Full Body

Workout:
Ideally, you will want to do so three to four times a week although it is
recommended to take a break in between the sessions.
Light cardio or dynamic stretches should be performed before the
workout as warm up while static stretches as cool down to reduce
incidences of injury.

High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT):

1: What is HIIT?

HIIT implies that you exercise at great intensities for brief durations then
follow itwith less intense exercises for some time. Usually takes between
10 to 30 minutes- thismakes the training or exercising easy and time
effective.

2: Benefits of HIIT:

1: Burns more calories in less time: Intensity increases the number of

calories used even after the specific exercise session (often
referred to as excess post exercise oxygen consumption).

2: Improves cardiovascular health: Improvesthe rate per minute of

heartbeat and stamina.

3: Increases metabolism: Promotes loss of fat by increasing bodily

metabolism.
4: Convenience: Can be done using very little equipment and so can be
done from anywhere.

Common HIIT Exercises

1: Jumping jacks
2: Burpees
3: Mountain climbers High knees
4: Squat jumps

How to Start a HIIT Routine

Start with a warm-up which should not exceed 5 minutes, (for example,
running or stretching exercises).

Four to five exercises: Burpees, jump squats, push ups.

Do each of the exercises to the best of your abilities for 30 seconds
then take between 15- 30 seconds break. Chorus for approximately 20-
30 minutes base on the fitness level of the individual.

Who Should Try HIIT?

Best suited for individuals with the goals of;weight loss, burning of fats,
increasing cardio vascular capacity, and endurance. It can be modified
basic or advanced level depending on the intensiveness and the time
intervals between the sets.

The Role of Diet in Fitness:

In terms of nutrition, diet plays a significant part in feeding the body in
regard to exercises, recovery and muscle development.The Geographical
Scale and Macro Nutritional Level of the Physical Work and Food Intake
Used to Energize the Body for Workouts.
Carbohydrates:
Energy required forperforming the exercises of the high intensity. Good
sources include whole grain, fruits and vegetables.

Proteins:
Most important for muscle remodeling. Contain lean meats, legumes, eggs
and plant sources of protein.

Fats:
Healthy fats have other benefits and contribute to improving health
and muscular energy for endurance workout. They include avocados,
nuts and seeds and olive oil.
Hydration:
Water is very important when it comes to exercising and during the
post workout session as well. But the best drink is water; however,
depending on the duration of the workout session, an energy drink
provides needed minerals
.

Pre and Post Exercise Nutrition:

Pre-workout: Some carbs with some protein (for example a banana and
nut butter or a small turkey roll) should be eaten 30-60
minutes before activity to energise the body.

Post-workout: A clear example is the intake of protein (for muscle

repair) and carbohydrates (glycogen replenishment)within 30- 60
minutes of exercising.

Examples: a protein shake with some fruits or a grilled chicken

accompanied with sweet potatoes.
The Importance of Consistency
Isolating with a calorie and nutrient dense diet improves the ability to train,
optimizesenergy levels and enhances the overall recovery and
improvement process of attaining personal fitness goals.

The Role of Exercise to alleviate stress, depression and

anxiety:
Nevertheless, exercise is one of the best and safest ways to handle
stress. Not only does itprotect the body from diseases but it contributes
greatly to improving mental state by fighting stress. Exercise is an
essential part of a stress coping mechanism now and in the future since
it has short term and long term impact on the body.

How Exercise Reduces Stress anddepression:

Physical activity exercise will have the body releasing endorphin, this is
chemicals that help to reduce pain as well as improving themood of
individuals. These help in producing happiness and relaxation thus
overcoming stress endorphins. Also, exercising, lowers cortisol, the stress
hormone that is produced in the body. These chemical substances when
balanced in the body, exercising assist in changing the pH to a more
relaxed state in the body.

Physical Benefits:
Regular physical activity helps improve the physical fitness that shows
how a body responds to depression. Exercise enhances heart and lung
capacity and enhances muscle mass and energy which are vital to
reducing physical effects of stress. Further, the strained body through
stress enjoys better sleep when they engage in exercises; hence, they
recover faster.

Mental and Emotional Benefits:

As pointed out before exercising is good for the body as for the mind as
well. I believe it relieves the individual of stress, depression and anxiety in
day to day life and helps them gain some perspective. The gentle exercise
of jogging or swimming or even taking a walk
in nature presents the opportunity to think and hence feelings. Also,
exercise has complementary effects and impacts on self-esteem,
braininess, and concentration.
