Do you actually need to time your rest periods? 18/04/2016

How long do you rest between sets, do you feel like you're ready to go? Is that the best option? Research is showing if you've been workout out for 6 + months you can probably judge when your ready to go. However, rest periods for best results can be up to 2+ minutes long, even when training for hypertrophy.

Do you actually need to time your rest periods? Many lifters get confused about how long to rest between sets. Old advice was that short rest periods were helpful for muscle growth. But this is incorrect!

Wearables vs. Smartphone Apps: Which Are Better to Count Steps? 21/01/2016

Do you need a pedometer like a fitbit or smart watch to count your steps? Think again, if you have a smartphone that may just be enough. To find out more check this out.

Wearables vs. Smartphone Apps: Which Are Better to Count Steps? Many smartphone apps are just as good as wearable devices at tracking physical activity, a new study suggests.

21/01/2016

You may have heard that 10,000 steps per day (approximately 8 km or 5 miles) is recommended.
Don’t let this number worry you! The average Canadian only takes 2000 - 3000 steps a day, so if your numbers are low – you are not alone!
At first plan to increase your steps by just 500 a day. When you reach that goal... you can set a new one! Once you start tracking your steps, you will find yourself looking for opportunities to take more... parking further away from entrances, taking the stairs, leaving the car at home or going for a walk at lunch will all add up quickly! Before you know it you’ll be taking thousands of more steps each day!
Walking 10,000 steps a day will burn between 2,000 and 3,500 extra calories per week
for the average adult.
If your goal is to lose weight, gradually work up to walking 12,000 - 15,000 steps a day. Walking is a terrific way to lose weight, and to keep it off! Remember... Every Step Counts
Setting your Step Goals…
When things are busy and fast paced – it can feel like you are active.
Unfortunately, busy doesn’t mean active!
A StepsCount pedometer will let you know how active you really are!
Establishing how many steps you take in an average day is a great starting point and it’s easy – simply wear your pedometer for three days, add the total steps for all three days and divide by three to get your average. This is your current daily step average. You are now ready to set goals and meet them!
Short-term goals.
Look to increase your current steps by about 20% - for example if you now walk an average of 4,000 steps a day, you would work to increase your daily steps to around 5,000.
Long-term goals.
Long-term goals are the goals you would like to reach further in the future – for example in six months or a year. You may want to work towards walking 10,000 steps a day. Research has shown 10,000 steps a day helps to maintain your health – while 12,000 to 14,000 steps a day helps with fat loss.
