Strength Training and Resistance Bands

 

Get on the resistance bandwagon! Resistance bands are easier and more flexible than barbells, dumbbells or even hand weights. Your weight training routine will benefit from adding at least one strength training exercise that uses a resistance band.

Alcohol and Working Out

 
 
Never drink alcohol before you work out, even if you´re not going to exercise for several hours. Your reflexes can still be compromised, plus your hydration is affected. Do your run or other workout, rehydrate with water, then have a beer if you must. It´s best to skip the drink completely before a big competition because effects can linger to the next day.
