What are the benefits of a morning routine?
Having a morning routine helps you start the day well and be more focused, efficient and productive. By adding new healthy habits to the reflexes you already have, you ensure that you optimise the rest of the day, starting with taking care of yourself before you go out into the world.
To strengthen your abdominal muscles, alternate basic exercises that use their 3 main muscle groups, such as crunches, V-ups or planks,
for example, 2 to 3 times a week, at the beginning of a session. Be patient, the effort is worth it: in your daily life as well as in your
sports practice. You will soon see the benefits!
Why plan a big solo trek this year?
Undertaking a long solo trek is an opportunity to prove to yourself what you can do while recharging your batteries in the great
outdoors for a unique experience. Each week of preparation will help you progress beyond your usual training because, with this dream
in mind, you have a great reason to push yourself.
Thanks to ActivePulse™ technology, a new way of looking at sport is offered to you! Until now, adjusting the speed and inclination of a device had to be done manually throughout the session. Now, these parameters are automatically calibrated based on a physical factor: your heart rate. Your training becomes more tailored to your goals and ability than ever before.
With clear goals and a good understanding of your level, you can find workouts tailored to your fitness equipment and expectations by browsing the iFit® library. On iFit® Daily, many targeted programmes without equipment or with small accessories also await you. All you have to do is click and follow the session composed by your coach.
You can take advantage of periods when you are a little less energetic and motivated to try out new disciplines or change your habits. Continuing to incorporate physical activity into your daily routine, even at a moderate pace, may be your best strategy for gaining energy! In the long term, with rest if necessary, more intense sessions are also your ally in regaining energy.
To create the right conditions for your sporting success, take charge of your project: improve everything that can be improved in the environment in which you evolve, adopt good habits, remain realistic and open to all possibilities, and surround yourself with inspiring and positive role models, for example, athletes whose career paths make you dream. By visualising the athlete you want to become, you will get closer to your goal every day.
Metabolic conditioning is a training technique that consists of a series of short, intense exercises performed in split sessions with very little rest. This allows the body to activate all its energy production systems and burn more calories. Depending on your goals, you can adjust the effort/rest ratio of your sessions.
