“The Venom Go by Hyperice is my new favorite wearable technology. It’s become one of the first items I bring with me as I start my day. It’s super easy to use and offers several settings for different vibration patterns and levels of heat therapy. This allows me to use it in various situations, whether I’m in need of some serious relief to heal an injury or just wanting to add it to my daily practice of well-being. I love that it has bluetooth connectivity to my smart devices by syncing to the Hyperice app. This allows me to connect and access all of my devices in one place. The convenience of the Hyperice Venom technology in travel size really suits my on-the-go lifestyle.” – Adrianne Ho

With the U.S. Open starting next week in NYC, more and more people are hitting the courts to play tennis. Whether you’re a novice or have been playing for years the benefits of the sport are endless. As someone who has started playing only in the past few years I can personally say that the sport has improved my level of fitness. The quick aerobic movements I do while playing burns calories and keeps my heart rate up. In addition to cardiovascular health, the game also provides strength training for your legs, arms and upper body while swinging the racket tones the core… talk about a full body workout!
With the 2016 Olympic games approaching we can all be sure to be amazed by the toned and sculpted bodies of the women players in the Beach Volleyball competition! Playing sports on the beach is always an amazing workout and playing volleyball on the beach is truly one of the best workouts you can get.
According to Harvard Medical School, beach volleyball burns calories quickly! A 155-pound person will burn 298 calories during a half-hour game of beach volleyball. This sport is also a great way to build and strengthen many muscle groups throughout your body. Beach volleyball uses every part of your body. You use your arms, shoulders and chest to spike and serve the volleyball, your legs running through the sand, and your core to stay balanced as you do each move, truly making it a full body workout! Lastly let’s not forget the best reason to get involved in a game of beach volleyball game, it’s fun!
Sometimes the first thing we want to do post-workout is hit the nearest market or juice spot and grab a smoothie, yet it’s important to take a few minutes to stretch your muscles and warm down…
During a workout, muscles contract and small tears occur in muscle fibers. It’s important to stretch in order to repair these tears.
During a workout, muscles contract and small tears occur in muscle fibers. It’s important to stretch in order to repair these tears. Some of the obvious reasons for stretching would be to prevent soreness, yet there are other reasons that are significant for your fitness goals and overall health. 
Post-workout your muscles are better prepared for stretching due to your tissue being more flexible, making the muscles less prone to injury. Stretching can also help relax your muscles while your heart rate returns to normal.
If your goal is increased flexibility; post-workout stretching is very important. Loosening the tight muscles will not only improve your flexibility; but also your strength, endurance and aid overall recovery. Remember to also keep your body hydrated and take the time to center yourself. Appreciate what you’ve just accomplished and your body will thank you for it.
Some of the obvious reasons to exercise outside are of course the fresh air and the scenery which can make your run more interesting, beautiful, and much better than staring at the treadmill clock.
Sometimes the tools we need to workout are right in front of our face…
In this case that would be stairs. Most people have access to stairs, which can be used as an excellent source for exercise! Incorporating stair climbing into your exercise routine is not only beneficial for fat-burning but can also give you amazing strength-building results. One of the main benefits of stair climbing is it’s natural ability to increase the muscle mass of your quadriceps and calves. The motion also gives you a slight upper body workout by pumping your arms, but if you add weights, you can increase the upper body benefits.
The most important thing is to just go out there and give it a try…
Sports take a lot of skill, discipline, and focus. But as intimidating as they can seem, the reward can be tenfold. Even if the thrill of competition isn’t your thing, recreational activity in nature is priceless. Sweat some style and don’t find excuses not to give a beautiful life sport like golf a try. Trying new things and getting out of your comfort zone can be a lot of fun. The key is to not get caught up in what people think of you and just do it.
There’s no better way to break a sweat than exploring a new place. Get caught up in the scenery and let the time fly by… Just don’t get lost!
