To have a nice looking body it’s not enough to have a healthy and balanced diet.

In order to achieve a harmonious result you also need to work out a little bit.

Some prefer to hit the gym, others go for a swim. Running, jogging or cycling are also great alternatives.

The perfect recipe would be to combine your daily activities with simple physical movements but with obvious results.

It is not that easy but it’s not impossible either. Here are some tips if you want to work your thighs without interfering too much in your program. (more…)

Yes, yes, I know: everybody tells you to exercise.

So, let’s change the tone a little bit: why not have fun?

What can be more fun that swimming?

Did you know that swimming works all your muscles and a rapid pace can be easily transformed into a great fitness workout?

Why swim? It has been scientifically proven that swimming improves heart and lung activities. It’s a good alternative to running or jogging. It’s a relaxing and fun activity. If you change styles (no matter if you are a professional or not) then all your muscles will be put at work.

Swimming develops not just a general muscle strength, but also (more…)

I bet that some of you are already thinking at the summer and the long days at the beach that will come in a couple of months.

What are you going to do about the flabby belly and the undefined leg muscles?

A convenient way to exercise, save some money and be environment friendly is commuting by bike.

I know there are a lot of excuses not to do it, but there are solutions for all. Here are just a few of my ‘excuses‘ and how I overcome them.

1. I’ll get sweaty

Yyou don’t want to get to work smelly and sweaty. What would your colleagues say about it? Would they still want to have lunch with (more…)

Although the weather is quite gloomy these days and it’s been raining a lot, I am planning a long cycle in the weekend.

I found that cycling was the only sport I did regularly and I enjoyed the most.

I don’t do it only for the health benefits, but also it is a lovely way to escape urban scenery.

Whenever I can, I try to cycle outside the town, because the air is fresh and the sights are lovely.

I got so carried away, that I purchased a fitness bicycle for winter and for rainy days.

So what are the benefits of cycling?

First of all it is fun. I found that the most difficult task for me is to get into my cycling clothes and pack my rucksack, after that, as soon as (more…)

Walking may seem a little bit old fashioned in a society that values cars very much.

Who likes to walk nowadays when you can simply take the bus or go to work by car?

Well, to be honest, this attitude is reasonable when the working place is very far away.

On the other hand, people forget that walking is the simplest and the cheapest exercise they have access to in order to ne healthy and control weight.

Why walking?

It has been scientifically proved that walking improves lung and heart functions. In the same time, walking works all the groups of (more…)

I spend many hours at the office and when I get out from work in the evening I feel so tired that I don’t feel like going to the gym and work out for an hour.

Sounds familiar?

This is the story of many of us and it is the perfect excuse not to work out at all.

Add to that the fact that the weekend is so short to spend it not sleeping or going out with friends and you get the lazy dieter who keeps complaining about the extra pounds.

We’ve talked about some healthy office lunch options and some very interesting ways to lose weight even when we are at work, but there (more…)

We’ve been talking a lot during our posts on this blog about strength exercises, fitness and other means of working out our muscles.

So, maybe it’s time we say something about the muscle groups in our bodies.

We’ve already heard about them, but not all of us know their exact location.

I’ve never been a fitness guru, and I will probably never be.

However, this doesn’t mean that I don’t believe that exercise is important; I try to work-out at least 30 minutes every day.

My favorite exercises are the light cardio ones, like jogging or aerobics, because they are efficient and easy.

The gym has always been the last option for me. Most of my friends are exactly like me and let’s face it: with the economic crisis nowadays, how many people can afford to have a monthly membership at a gym?

Regardless of the money issue, I  know people who can afford to visit (more…)

Fitness is great for us, isn’t it?

Allocating about 30 minutes each day for exercising will surely ensure our wellbeing.

However, exercising needs to be done properly in order to obtain (only) positive effects.

Here are some of the mistakes you may be making when working out:

Cycling

If you prefer cycling, then you should make sure that you choose the right bike for you. Get a lighter one, if you’re not big, and set the saddle at the right height. If the bike is too heavy, you will not be pedaling (as you (more…)
