We are all over the place. Between work, living, and social lives, we are never in one place. This can make life really busy, with all that travelling, but it can make working out more convenient than you could ever imagine. Especially in the New York area, there are so many places to get a sweat on near your work, home, or friends that you can’t use travel as an excuse anymore! One of the most popular all over full body workouts is Pilates. Focusing on building a strong core (three layers of the abdomen, side muscles, and lower back), lean muscles, and adding flexibility, this workout relies on perfect movements, not longer workouts. The more perfect each move, the better the workout. This is a great way to start the day before work. Focusing on the breath and concentrating on the movements means possibly being more efficient at work. Connect with a Pilates instructor in Brooklyn to find out when classes are offered.

Getting in shape and getting healthy are important goals to have. For many of us, though, working out and eating right is just not top priority. Having a personal training could easily persuade us to work harder and eat better, but truth is, how many of us can afford to pay for a personal trainer?

While it is possible to train on your own, very few of us have the true discipline to meet the goals we have. Getting a personal trainer is an important step in getting healthy. Ask NYC personal trainers you are interested in hiring if they offer off-peak hours. That means if you have flexibility in time, trainers might have flexibility in cost. While peak hours (before and just after traditional work hours) are fi

Congratulations! You did it! You have finished one of the most challenging sporting events out there- the marathon. It is grueling for muscles, bones, feet, and even mentally as well. How many times did you want to quit? But you didn’t- and that’s what counts. But now that you’ve finish, what do you do? Immediately after a race it seems we all know the drill: get warm, eat bananas, and possibly later get into an ice bath to reduce swelling. Recovering from running a marathon is an oft forgotten step in the training plan. Without proper recovery, runners increase their chance of injury and could possibly prevent future personal records as well. The inflammation and muscle plains will hover around a recovering body for up to 14 days after a marathon, thus not allowing your muscles to be at full strength for almost two weeks. That means before you jump back into regular training schedule, give your body some time to heal. Some suggestions for a better recovery start with a
