This Weeks Advice:
Drink More Water!
So this week I want to recommend you guys to drink water.
Yeah just a simple advice. Drink more water. Water is great, we love water. We basically are made of water, well at least 60% of our body is. So imagine depriving your body of what it needs the most? Why would you do that?? You should aim to drink at least 8 glasses of water a day (around 2l). Lack of water has a negative affect on your physical and mental performance. Being dehydrated can give you headache and make you constipated, who wants that?! And did you know that water can help you loose weight, how amazing is that?! So go pour yourself a cold glass of water and bottoms up!! Go read a full article on benefits of drinking water on Healthline.com
Fitness Tip of the Week:
Slow Down!
Slow Down!
When training your body quality always trumps the quantity. Life never stops. All of us are super busy, running around, trying to get as much done in as short period of time as possible. But here's the thing when it comes to building muscle, strength or endurance time is the key. Slow and steady wins the race. This is true for every repetition of every exercise you do- you should not rush through your reps and try to build a mind to muscle connection. Every rep should have your full attention and be done with full force contracting and relaxing muscle fully through range of motion. This is also true for a whole workout you do- less is more when it comes training (especially weights). Stop trying to do all of the exercises every session. Choose 3-4 exercises per muscle group for each session and stick with them. Remember that you only have a limited amount of energy to perform quality work in the gym, so if you done your exercises right after 3-4 sets of 8-15 reps there shouldn't be much left in the tank. So if you are there doing 12 exercises on the chest every session chances are you are just not working hard enough. So next time you are having workout, slow down and do some quality work.
Supplement of the Week:
Shilajit!
Shila-what you ask!? Shilajit is a sticky substance found primarily in the rocks of the Himalayas. It develops over centuries from the slow decomposition of plants. Yeah that's pretty much what it is, it's a black tar like substance which has been around hiding in the rocks for some time now. Although it doesn't look edible and believe me it really doesn't taste edible either it has amazing health benefits. Shilajit has been used in ayurvedic medicine for quite a long time. Shilajit is rich in fulvic acid, it is a strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory. Shilajit can help with effects of Alzheimer's, chronic fatigue, improve testosterone levels and decrease effects of aging. Being a natural supplement it really doesn't have any side effects (unless you start mining it yourself). Shilajit got recommended to me by a friend and although I was sceptical about it in the beginning, I could really feel improved energy levels and reduced stress after using it for a month. Shilajit has become one of my favourite supplements and I tend to use it month on/month off basis. Go check out an article about Shilajit on Healthline.com
