Pay your trainer before you exercise. That might give you more incentive to work harder, because you wouldn’t want that money to go to waste now…do you?

 



According to a 12-week study by Danish researchers, men who drank a shake with protein and carbohydrates within 5 minutes after their workout gained muscle. The men who consumed the drink 2 hours later did not. Make sure to have a protein shake immediately after your workout.

 




Of the three energy sources (carbohydrates, fat and protein), protein has the least impact on fat storage. If you tend to overeat through mainly carbohydrates or fats, try to replace those foods with more protein-rich foods like chicken or fish. This will provide you with maximal muscle growth and recovery while minimizing fat storage.



According to a Michigan Technological University study, lifting weights decreases blood pressure, which may reduce the risk of a stroke by up to 40%.

 

 




According to Men’s Health, to increase swimming speed you should develop your ankle flexibility. The more flexible your feet are, the more your feet can act like natural flippers.



When doing rope extensions for the tricpes, the only movement taking place should be at the elbow joints. Make sure you're not leaning in to move the weight. Therefore, do not use momentum. Make sure your back is straight and your abs are tightened throughout the entire movement.
