The StrengthCast Power Show and Do You Need Motivation To Get Fitter and Healthier? An Online Fitness Program May Be The Answer

Author Julia Mccabe

During COVID-19 lockdowns, many of us turned to online fitness classes.

Some people followed celebrities on YouTube, others signed up to companies that offered a range of online classes, and others logged onto Zoom classes that their local gym teachers were running. There were lots of choices available for the few months spent at home during lockdown.

When the COVID-19 restrictions lifted, most people then returned to their local gyms or outdoor classes as they were keen to see other people again and get back to some normality.

How has your fitness progressed since then? Has everyday life got in the way of training? Are you skipping classes when you are tired after a day’s work in an office? Are you needing motivated again?

At fitandhappy, we have continued offering our clients online personal training and online classes. They have proved to be popular for many reasons. Some clients found they just preferred training at home, others are still nervous about catching COVID-19, and a few like a mix of outdoor classes and online classes.

Types of Online Fitness Classes

Online classes vary from you following a recorded class to a fully interactive class using a video conference application like Zoom.

With a recorded class, you can take part at whatever time you want but no one will know if you work hard, skip part of the class, or do the exercises correctly. If you are new to exercise there is a chance that you could hurt yourself by not following the instructions properly.

An interactive class will cost more but the instructor will provide you with individual feedback and encouragement and will motivate you to keep going. They will also ensure that you are doing the exercises correctly without damaging your back or straining muscles.

Benefits of Online Training

The main benefit of online training is that you can work out at home.

If you choose a pre-recorded class, you can work out at any time that suits you whether that is at 6am when you get up or at 10pm when your children have gone to bed.

Many people who are carers find online training suits them best. It means they can do a workout but if needed by the person or child who they are caring for, they can just leave the class and be of assistance immediately.

People who have never attended a fitness class before often find that it is easier to start getting fit by being in the comfort of their own home. They might feel they are too unfit or overweight and want to gain some confidence before joining a class in a gym.

Fitandhappy online training for women

At fitandhappy in Edinburgh, we offer both pre-recorded classes and an online personal training programme. We want our clients to be able to get fitter, healthier and happier no matter what their circumstances.

Our online personal training programme is about more than just personal training sessions. To ensure you do get fitter and have more confidence and energy to live your life, we also include nutrition advice, sleep and stress management, access to live classes, good habit tracking, and results tracking. With so much interaction from our expert personal trainers and coaches, you won’t want to miss your personal training sessions or classes.

And remember, whether you choose to go to a gym, take part in an outdoor boot camp or try online fitness classes, they will all help you get fitter and healthier. The endorphins released during exercise will make you feel good and improve your mental health too.

Julia McCabe is the owner of fitandhappy and a qualified personal trainer and nutrition coach.

Pre-workout supplements Presented on US Sports Net by BBcom

Author Daniel Martial

Pre-workout is a category of supplements for those who go to the gym. You've probably heard the term through the locker room. This is what it is called, but in many cases, it is already late if you take it fixed before training. It depends ... how long is your path to the hall. If you do more than 20 minutes, it is okay to take it in the locker room.

Pre-workout gives you extra energy during your workout and helps dilate your blood vessels. Its effect is comparable to about five espressos. Plus something else to help you feel like you can move mountains. I tell you from now on that this supplement is not for everyone. Cardiacs, for example, should be kept away. (Continued below.....)

Jo Lindner (Joesthetics) takes us through a full day and explains which Primeval Labs supplements he uses and why. Plus Joesthetics does a chest & back Workout.

► BodyFit Training Programs: https://goto.bodybuilding.com/o2b3b

(Continued.....) Then, even if you are a very healthy person, you may not like taking the supplement. I make a comparison again in plastic terms: we keep the parallel with the espresso and put a few palms from the clear. It gave a strange feeling of restlessness and sometimes unpleasant tingling in the palms.

When you should take the Pre Workout supplements?

If you go to the gym late at night or early in the morning and feel that your workouts do not go at the pace you could take. If you are already shooting to the maximum and have minimal breaks between sets, no supplement is required. Improvements in training will be marginal.

It is not advisable to use pre-workout supplements even if you are a beginner. The risk of injury is very high when you want to move the hall two stairs away just by pushing it. The reverse also appears: you will find workouts boring without.

It is best to get used to going to the gym and to shoot properly, increase the intensity naturally and resort to pre-workout only when you are capped. However, you must understand that Pre Workout does not take the place of sleep and is not good for energizing if you had any thoughts in this direction.

What does a pre-workout supplement contain?

Caffeine. A consistent portion, comparable to several coffees, but served at once. Things do not end here, because there are several substances with vasodilating effects. If you push hard enough during your training, you will feel that you are very close and your muscles will burst from how much they swelled. But don’t be afraid, this thing doesn't happen in reality.

Depending on the variant, pre-workout also contains amino acids, as well as other substances, including carbohydrates, as an energy source. This is something you need to consider in case you follow a strict regime.

The most common vasodilator found in a pre-workout supplement is arginine. It supports your body in the generation process of nitric acid, which causes blood vessels to dilate and stimulates the process of protein synthesis. To an extent, you can get most of the benefits of a pre-workout from two cups of coffee and an amino acid concentrate that also includes BCAA. But it will not be the same and you may miss the dosage. Creatine is another common ingredient for many pre-workout formulas, but it is found in fewer products compared with caffeine or arginine.

Jim Stoppani's 15-Minute Arm-Blaster Routine

Build bigger biceps and triceps with this super-efficient arm workout.

Jim Stoppani, Ph.D.

November 25, 2019 • 4 min read

Let's cut to the chase because everyone is short on time.
I've got a 15-minute arm workout that will feel more like an hour-long session by the end. This routine will help you build size and definition in both the biceps and triceps through a variety of equipment (barbells, cables, and dumbbells, in that order), grips (overhand, neutral, single-arm, double-arm), and angles of pull (overhead, behind the back, in front of the body).
Biceps and triceps perform the exact opposite movements—elbow flexion and extension, respectively—which makes them perfect supersetting partners. If you did all of the below six exercises, and 18 sets total, as straight sets, it would take you twice as long.
So, when you're short on time or just looking to tack a quick arm workout onto the end of another routine, give this a try. If you've got 15 minutes to spare, you've got time to build bigger arms.
Here's a superset-by-superset rundown of the workout. You can also watch the below video, where I demonstrate all six moves at The JYM in Hollywood, my personal training headquarters.

Superset 1: Barbell Curl and Lying Barbell Triceps Extension

3 sets, 8-10 reps per exercise
Your first superset pairs two major mass-building moves for the bis and tris. When in doubt, do your barbell exercises early in the workout, as you can use the most weight when your muscles are at their freshest.
As I state in the video, to maximize triceps tension on the lying extensions, shift your arms back so that your upper arms are pointed slightly behind you (as opposed to perpendicular with the floor). When you do this, your triceps are still fighting gravity even when the elbows are locked out at the very top; when the arms are perfectly vertical, tension is taken off the triceps momentarily at the end of each rep.

Pick aggressive weights on these two exercises. You want to make sure you're hitting failure in the 8-10-rep range on at least the first set for both moves. On the second and third sets, stick with the same weights and go to failure again, whether you hit 8-10 reps or not. With only 15 minutes devoted to arm training, don't waste any time—start fatiguing the muscles right out of the gate.

Superset 2: Cable Triceps Kick-back and Single-Arm Behind-the-Back Cable Curl

3 sets, 15 reps per exercise
Now we're moving to the cable station to emphasize the constant tension provided by the pulleys. A couple other variables change in this superset, as well.
First of all, you'll be doing unilateral (one arm at a time) movements to promote balanced development in both arms. Normally, you wouldn't do single-arm versions when trying to save time, but as long as you take zero rest between sets, you'll still be able to move through these exercises quickly. Alternate muscle groups every set: right side triceps, right side biceps, left side triceps, left side biceps. I recommend a neutral grip on the kick-backs (holding the cable directly) and a supinated grip (using a handle) on the curls.
You'll also switch arm position with these two exercises; both moves place the working arm behind the body, whereas Superset 1 had the arms in front of the torso. Behind-the-back curls place more emphasis on the biceps long head (which makes up a majority of the biceps "peak"), while kick-backs place slightly more emphasis on the triceps lateral head.
Again, take all 3 sets for both exercises to failure, using the same weights for all sets on each exercise. Cable exercises are often used as detailing moves, but these should be no walk in the park. If anything, these sets should burn a little more than the barbell moves due to the higher reps and constant tension provided by the cables.

Superset 3: Hammer Curl and Dumbbell Overhead Extension

3 sets, 10-12 reps per exercise
For the final superset, dumbbells are the tool of choice. With the hammer curl, your hands are in a neutral position. This brings the brachialis muscle into play to add thickness to the arms, while also targeting the long head once again.
With the other move, the arms-overhead position squarely targets the long head of the triceps. When the long head is fully developed, you'll have great thickness on the backs of your upper arms near your shoulders.
You can do the hammer curls either alternating or both arms simultaneously. Your call. The overhead extensions can be performed either standing or seated.

After going to failure on all sets of these two dumbbell exercises, the workout is complete. To stay on task, try to make sure each superset pairing (3 sets each) takes no more than 5 minutes.
In future workouts, feel free to use different variations of the same movements—for example, do dumbbell versions of the Superset 1 moves, or use cables on the Superset 3 exercises.
With a variety of movements and high intensity, building bigger pipes doesn't have to take long. This workout proves it!
