Men, work on your flexibility
One of the main differences between a mans and a womans body is that men are generally less flexible than women. You may not think flexibility is important, but it is. Stretching your muscles regularly will help you to move more efficiently. Stretching is also important for men because it helps you stay injury-free and it can relax your muscles and in turn reduce stress.
Clearly stretching is very important for men and is something you need to work at. Attending Yoga or Pilates classes can help you to improve your flexibility. Remember, as a general rule, mens hamstrings, shoulders and lower backs tend to need to be worked on more than other areas of their body, so pay special attention to these parts of your body in your flexibility sessions.
Go slower
If youre like most men youll have a healthy competitive spirit and, whilst this is great for your motivation and for encouraging you to push yourself, it can lead to problems. For example, a lot of men fall into the trap of thinking that in order to be better and achieve more they have to perform all of their exercises at a super fast pace.
Although true when performing some exercises, for others this is just not the case. Take weight lifting for example. When lifting slowly, say for 10 seconds in total, you increase the amount of time your muscles are tense for and simultaneously increase the blood flow. This means that you help to develop and increase your muscle mass. The next time you train, remember that faster is not always better and find out what speed you should be working at.
Try new things
Men are terrible for sticking to the same fitness routine and many dont try new things very often. If this sounds familiar you need to explore new ways to get fit. Doing different types of fitness activities means that you work different parts of your body and by doing this you improve your core strength, your flexibility and your balance.
Working up the courage to try new things is one of the biggest obstacles most men face when it comes to this task. If you dont fancy going into a Pilates class or joining a boxing club on your own take a friend with you or try a DVD before going to a class.
Holistic approach to fitness
Another thing women seem to be better at than men is taking a holistic approach to fitness. This means that they thereby engage physically, mentally and emotionally with their fitness programs. Taking this approach to fitness has many health benefits.
For example, the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine found that some holistic training techniques could improve fitness. Other benefits of the holistic approach to fitness is that your stress levels can decrease and it is thought that certain types of holistic practises, such as Tai Chi, can improve bone health. To take advantage of these health benefits explore some of the many different fitness techniques that are out there.
Take a break
Another fitness tip men should put into action is resting and recovering between sessions. Doing back-to-back sessions may make you feel like you are doing the best thing for your body, but not giving yourself a break between workouts will mean that you will burn out, lose motivation and do more harm than good. Plus taking a rest day will mean that when you train again you can train harder.
You should be taking a day off from exercising every two to three days as a minimum ideally. Make sure that on these rest days you stay hydrated and avoid doing anything too strenuous. If youre struggling not to do anything on these days you could do some flexibility workouts. Also if you have been lifting weights or exercising certain muscle groups, make sure that you do not train that same muscle group again the following day.

Any Fitness Tips For People With Asthma? Just need some fitness tips to help with my asthma. I want to be able to run for a longer period and have an overall better fitness level. I start losing my breath after about 1 minute of running. Any ideas and tips would be very much appreciated : )
First, you have to choose a certain kind of exercise that they really can handle well. Some exercise that might be great choice for asthma sufferers are walking, swimming, riding a bike, as well as hiking. These kinds of exercise needs less physical move than tennis, hockey, gymnastics, long distance running, and many other else. You could also consult their doctors to choose the most appropriate type of exercise for you.
Second, you can take advantage of your inhaler. You can use your inhaler about 15 minutes before you start to exercise. Besides, makes sure that your inhaler is always close enough to you. You will never know when the attack might hit you. Therefore, providing inhaler as first aid near you is very important.
Third, breathing through your nose during the exercise is also important. Mouth breathing tends to trigger asthma attack since it causes you to inhale cold air right into the bronchial tube. In contrary, the air that you heal will be filtered well when you are breathing through your nose. Besides, nose breathing also allows the air to be warmer before reaching the lungs.
The fourth thing you need to do is looking for a certain area that free from pollutions and allergens. However you should also avoid area with too many trees or grass. Then, you should also be aware of the symptoms of asthma that occur during the exercise. If you feel very tired and your chest begins to be tightening, you should be notice that those are the initial symptoms of asthma. Usually, those symptoms will be followed by wheezing. Stop doing any physical activity when these symptoms occur.
By following those tips, asthma sufferers could still have exercise with less risk of asthma attack. Do not let asthma attack prevent you to have regular exercise activity.
What Are Your Best Tips To Live A Healthy Life? Health tips in any area would be great. Especially what foods to eat, fitness tips, avoiding colds or being sick, and being happier.
Sorry it’s so broad, but I just wanted some really good tips or secrets, or anything. Thanks!
One has to be happy, not worry about everything little thing that goes wrong, think of others who have life a lot worse or the ones who are gone who whould like to swich with you, but most importantly, you must cleanse your body of toxins and take suppliments.
How Can I Increase My Metabolic Rate? Which exercise/fitness tips can you give me to increase my metabolic rate? Also if you can explain the science behind it, I would appreciate it.
-Eat breakfast. You metabolism is slow in the morning becasue you have been fasting all night. Eating breakfast revs it up.
-Eat 5-6 small meals throughout the day. Same principal, when you go to long without eating your metabolism slows. Eat something at least every 3 hours.
-Build muscle through resistance training. The more muscle you have the higher your metabolic rate because muscle is active tissue and burns calories even at rest.
-Drink lots and lots of water. Being sufficiently hydrated makes you body carry out its metabolic processes more effiecintly.
