Tips for Selecting the Right Workout Shoes

Image
When choosing athletic shoes, two features we tend to focus too much on are (1) appearance and (2) price , but neither fashion nor expense should be the chief concern when choosing footwear. Elite-brand shoes with special features often promise to help you jump higher, move faster, and look good while you’re doing it, but they’re also overpriced for their actual performance. On the other hand, buying the cheapest shoe on the market may save you a little money initially, but keep in mind you might just be replacing them in a few months because they’ve fallen apart or hurt your feet. So what’s most important when shopping for shoes you intend to exercise in? Your priority should be finding a shoe that’s (1) right for your activity, and (2) meets the needs of your feet .   The Right Shoe for the Right Sport Everyone understands that you need special shoes for sports like football, soccer, and track, but there isn’t much clarity on proper footwear for other activities. For instance, wha

5 Tips for Safer, More Efficient Running Form

Image
One of the things about running that most appeals to those beginning their fitness journey is how little training it takes. Individuals of just about any fitness level can start running outside or on a fitness center treadmill since, next to walking, it’s one of the most natural movements your body makes. There’s no right or wrong way to do it…or is there? In many cases, your body will just ‘know’ how to run, and the more you do it, the more your form will naturally improve. On the other hand, one or more errors in your posture, stride length, alignment, and other bio-mechanics could be decreasing your running efficiency (i.e., speed), leaving you achy and tired after every run, and lead to chronic injuries. If you want to run long-term, you need to practice good running form. The following tips are far from exhaustive, but cover the main areas to address for the most improvements in efficiency and injury prevention. 1. Stride Length: Short and Quick. Beginners often make the mistake o

The Benefits of HIIT Workouts

Image
High-intensity interval training, or HIIT, workouts are very popular right now. This rigorous exercise technique involves quick bursts of exercise followed by brief recovery periods. The idea behind it is to create a need for more oxygen post-workout, which creates Excess Post-Exercise Oxygen Consumption (EPOC), burning more fat and calories for hours after you leave the gym. Speed up metabolism The combination of interval training and intense, high-powered movement means that you are increasing your metabolic rate, which is why you burn fat for hours afterward. The effects on your metabolism can last for up to two days after your workout. Boost your endurance Studies show that short but intense workouts increase your endurance, which translates over to more moderate exercises as well. Do it anywhere, anytime Because the idea is to keep your body moving with little rest, you don’t need weights, equipment, or a even a gym membership to do HIIT workouts. All you need is a plan! You can f

Hydration & Exercise: How Much Water Do You Really Need?

Image
 Everyone agrees that hydration is an important aspect of health – water makes up more than half your body weight, and can be found in every cell of your body. What’s not as agreed on is how much water you should be drinking on a daily basis. The old standard says everyone should drink at least 6, 8-ounce glasses of water a day. More recently, experts advise dividing your body weight in half and using that as a guideline for the number of ounces you should be chugging. Perhaps you’ve tried one of these magic formulas only to find yourself running to the bathroom at all hours, or listening to your stomach slosh with liquid as you move. The truth is, everyone’s hydration needs are different. Some may find that a certain guideline works well for them, while others need significantly less or more. Keep in mind that you also get water through other beverages and foods, especially fruits and vegetables. But how do you know you’re getting enough?… An easy way to gauge your hydration level is

5 Fat Burning Tips

Image
A common fitness goal that many people share is to lose fat. Fat loss involves burning more calories than you consume, but there are more steps you can take to specifically burn more fat. One of course is to come work out at our gym, Spunk Fitness! On top of that, here are some other things you can do to burn more fat: Eat Breakfast You have likely heard that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, but it is very common for people to skip in when they are rushing into work in the morning. However, breakfast can make a big difference in the dietary choices you make throughout the day. By jump starting your metabolism early, you can burn more fat and avoid packing more on by making impulsive food decisions when you are starving later in the day. Exercise In The Morning Exercising in the morning makes you more likely to continue that routine. When you choose to exercise in the afternoon, it is easier to come up with excuses and skip the gym. When you exercise first in the morning

5 Ways To Beat Treadmill Boredom

Image
Cardiovascular exercise is necessary for your health, but some people find it boring, particularly on a treadmill. While treadmills may not be the most thrilling exercise equipment, they are a great way to get your heart pumping. If you are feeling bored with your treadmill routine, here are some ways that you can switch it up: Run faster. If you are feeling bored during your run, you are likely not pushing yourself hard enough. If you are breathing easily while you hit the treadmill, you should pick up the pace for a greater challenge. Just be sure not to overdo it; you don’t want to injure yourself. Run with a friend. Bring a guest to Spunk Fitness and get adjacent treadmills to beat your boredom. That way, you can chat away, and you will be surprised by how quickly the time flies. Sign up for a marathon. A great way to motivate yourself and to shake off the doldrums is to start training for a marathon. Having a goal gives you an incentive to train for longer, and picturing yourself
