How to get in shape after the holidays

What is the New Year without a feast? Delicious salads, snacks, desserts – this abundance of dishes is eaten in just a couple of hours. And all this at night is not the most suitable time for eating. But a tradition is a tradition, especially since the promise to lose weight or to get pumped up, given to oneself, begins to operate from the new year. The best personal trainer of Izhevsk 2015 according to Fitnes PRO Ivan Grebenkin tells how to get in shape after the holidays.

Coach Ivan Grebenkin knows how to put the body in order after the New Year’s feasts

“Firstly, after so many calories eaten, the body will need to spend them on something, because if there is no energy exchange, then all eaten will be stored in fat reserves. The easiest way to use your calories for health benefits is walking. A regular walk on the street is suitable for people of all fitness levels. Running in the park or in the stadium, climbing stairs, from the first floor of the house to the last and back – for advanced people. A good alternative to walking is a skating rink or skiing competitions with friends.

The gym is another place where you can usefully spend your weekend. I am a personal trainer and fitness expert and would like to provide some tips on what to do in the gym.

I recommend starting workouts with a cardio workout – walking on a treadmill or an ellipse. 15-30 minutes at an average speed is enough to warm up and “start” the fat burning mode. After the cardio workout, we move on to exercises on the part of the body that suffered the most during the festive feasts – this is the stomach. Or rather the muscles that are located here: oblique muscles, rectus abdominis muscle (aka “cubes”), transverse muscle (deep muscle located under the first two). When training the press, the emphasis should be placed on the oblique muscles, since they form a slender waist. Do not believe those who say otherwise, just look at the anatomy textbook and see how they are located and what they are attached to to be sure of this.

The oblique muscles are involved in any exercise that “twists” the body to the side. Such exercises include the “bicycle”, oblique crunches, oblique plank, etc. All these movements can be found on the Internet or ask the duty trainer in the gym. A set of 3-5 exercises will be enough. After such a “strength” part of the workout, you can get back on the track and walk for another 30 minutes, depending on your level of fitness and well-being.

I hope that these tips will be useful to you and you will spend your weekend not only with pleasure, but also with benefit! “
