The Best Exercises to Build Endurance

Monday, July 1st, 2024
this girl got ripped abs partially by adding exercises to build endurance

Athletes have become bigger and stronger and are in better shape nowadays, and the trend to build endurance through specific training has only accelerated this phenomenon. Athletes are getting leaner and more ‘ripped’ than ever, in nearly every sport.

It used to be that a baseball player, for example, would focus on exercises specifically designed to improve the specific skill set that they needed to succeed on the baseball field. The same sport-specific training was true for every sport. But as people began to see the broad-spectrum benefits that came with endurance training for events like the triathlon, it became evident that an individual with greater strength and endurance in any sport could benefit from a more well-rounded circuit of exercises.

It didn’t take long before regular people started to realize that they could benefit from endurance training, too, and it quickly became more and more popular. Today, its appeal is at an all-time high. Even weekend athletes, as a result of endurance training, are becoming almost indefatigable.

What is My Body Type? Ectomorph, Mesomorph, Endomorph

Tuesday, June 18th, 2024
a group of men asking what is my body type?

You could be wasting your time with a great workout routine and proper nutrition if you don’t know how to train and eat based on your body type. When I first started training and reading about body types my first question – what is my body type, was hard to answer. It seemed I was the combination of 2 of them so initially, I struggled to categorize myself. Honestly, your body type category doesn’t matter enough for anyone to be stressed out about categorizing the body type but knowing the details of how to eat and train for each type, at least gave me some direction as I set goals for fat loss and strength gains in my earlier years.

Hopefully, this guide will help you find some answers if you ask the question, ‘What is my body type?’

More often than not stress is the root cause of anxiety. Stress can be the underlying symptom of many diseases and conditions, and can ultimately lead to the onset of anxiety disorders, such as social anxiety.

Relationship issues, financial troubles, work problems, and other difficulties that one may face can all contribute to the feelings of being overly stressed, and in turn, stress can be associated with anxiety.

Anxiety symptoms can be described as the overwhelming feelings of fear and/or worry, relating to something specific. But there are also disorders of anxiety that can occur for no apparent reason and not relate to a specific cause.

Jiu-Jitsu: A Martial Art with Surprising Health Perks

Thursday, October 26th, 2023

Jiu-Jitsu, an elegant form of martial arts, began in the battlefield tactics of ancient Japan. Originally developed by samurai warriors, it primarily targeted open-handed combat, focusing more on grappling, throws, and joint locks. As time passed, this martial art form was significantly refined to the softer and more defensive style we recognize today. Its name, Jiu-Jitsu, meaning ‘gentle art’, mirrors the underlying philosophy of using the opponent’s energy against them rather than relying on one’s strength.

In recent years, the popularity of Jiu-Jitsu has surged worldwide. This growth is largely fueled by the recognition of its diverse health benefits and its frequent application in self-defense and popular mixed martial arts competitions. This article will explore several aspects of Jiu-Jitsu, including its noted physical, mental, and social benefits.
