Guidelines For Exercising With A Cold
A cold is an inflammation of the upper respiratory tract caused by a viral infection. They’re pretty common – most of us experience them from time to time, but what does this mean for our training?

“Can I still exercise? Should I take a break? How much? What can I do? How can I get well quicker?”

Protein: How Much You Need & How To Eat More Of It
Protein is a nutrient found in most foods – at least in small quantities. Contrary to what you might believe, it isn’t just used to build muscle tissue, but is required for the synthesis and maintenance of almost every type of cell in our bodies.

Why Exercise Can’t Fix A Sedentary Lifestyle
Aches and pains in the back, neck, shoulders, and knees are a common effect of being sedentary throughout the day, as are symptoms such as feelings of lethargy, lack of focus, and digestive discomfort.
Long term, the potential consequences are even more worrying. A 13 year study on over 120,000 individuals published in the American Journal of Epidemiology found that inactive people who sat for more than 6 hours per day were up to 94% more likely to die during the study period than active people who sat for less than 3 hours per day.

What Is Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness (DOMS)?
Every time you work out, you inflict microscopic damage on your muscles, which is then repaired naturally by your body with a tiny new layer of muscle tissue. As these layers are formed, you build visible muscle. You don’t need to have muscle soreness every time you work out in order to see progress.
