Training Tips

When should i exercise?

Whenever you get the opportunity! Personally, I prefer to train first thing and then I can go about my day knowing its done, others feel lethargic in the morning and wait until the evening, it's really personal preference. One thing I will add is that when possible it's best to leave at least 60 minutes between heavy meals and starting a vigorous routine. Any intense exercise on a full stomach could lead to stomach cramps and/or messy footwear! The beauty of these video routines is that you need very little time to get them done and because they are designed to work all the muscle groups within the body, nothing get neglected either.

Should I warm up before exercise?

Absolutely. Without a good warm up the whole session can be compromised by tight muscles and aching joints, do yourself a favour and spend at least 5 minutes raising the body temperature and stretching the muscles. Remember to cool down thoroughly after too, a decent warm up/cool down routine can greatly reduce your risk of injury and stop you feeling sore for the following days.

Any other tips?

Whenever you exercise, ensure you are adequately hydrated. Try to avoid caffeinated drinks and stick with water when possible, if the taste is too dull for you try adding some sugar free squash or squeeze some lemon into it.

As a general rule: drink 40ml per Kilogram of body weight.

As an example, I weight 85kg (13.3st) so I require approximately 3.4 litres a day.
