Muscle Recovery – Vancouver Fitness Tips

Virgil — Tue, 02 Feb 2010 21:38:09 +0000

Do you find that your muscles are still sore by the time you have to return to the gym? If so, you may still need a greater recovery time incorporated into your program. Recovery time is one of the most important factors in muscle growth. However, what’s interesting is that research shows that low intensity exercise on your days off helps to quicken to the healing process. Light exercise, such as daydreaming while you’re on an eliptical gazing out the window, improves circulation to all the muscles of your body and in turn enhances the flow of nutrients which are essential for recovery. So instead of feeling like you should do nothing on your days away from the gym, remind yourself that you ought to be doing something, even if its just a brisk walk along the seawall, and if you find your muscles are still sore by the time you`re scheduled to work them out again, then come into the gym on your days off of strength training, grab a magazine and put the incline of the treadmill to about 4.0 at a fast paced walk and read up on Brad and Angelina`s breakup. Be sure to stretch after to, as that helps relax the muscle tissues, open them up, and increases circulation as well. Share your methods of recovery, and if you don`t have any in specific, speak to your personal trainer to learn more.

Kalev Fitness Training Vancouver DJ Jesse James – Blog entry of the week

Kalev — Mon, 23 Feb 2009 16:06:51 +0000

Kalev Fitness Training Vancouver DJ Jesse James – Blog entry of the week. Getting up early and working out is both foreign and intensely unexciting to me. But I must admit it is growing on me a little. This Friday I aimed to get to the gym 30 minutes early and really warm up before my work out. Ambitious yes and it turned out to be very rewarding. When Mr Jaaguste (you may not know this but his last name is even harder to say then his first) showed up with his words of encouragement I was excited. So we hit it hard first a combination of arms, chest and back in a cycle for several reps more then I could pump out the previous week. The warm up was really helping me push out several more push-up on the bench then I had ever imaged I could do. Some more reps with weights in front of the mirror and some side hold that’s really worked my abs. And as usual to finish off the work out a unique exercise on the ball that is not only emasculating but difficult. It involves getting the ball tightly up under your torso then crunching with full arms out down then pulling the body straight up and squeezing the back muscles. After the classic 5 more from Kalev I was toast and felt a horrible goodness all over my body.
