HIKING outdoors has plenty of peaks and perks: like hanging out with 🏞🏞🏞 nice views, fresh air, and the sounds and smells of nature. But It's good for you too - Hiking is a challenging cardio workout that can:

* Lower your risk of heart disease
* Improve your blood pressure and blood sugar levels
* Boost bone density, since walking is a weight-bearing exercise
* Build strength in your glutes, quadriceps, hamstrings, and the muscles in your hips and lower legs
* Strengthen your core
* Improve balance
* Help control your weight
* Boost your mood. "Research shows that hiking has a positive impact on combating the symptoms of stress and anxiety," says Gregory A. Miller, PhD, president of the American Hiking Society. "Being in nature is ingrained in our DNA, and we sometimes forget that."
*
So what are you waiting for?? Get hiking 🌲🌲🌲🌲🌳🌴🌺🌾🎋🌱🍀☘️🌿🌎🌍🌏☀️🌤🌤⛅️🌤☀️☀️☀️🏞🏞

Want bigger calves? SPRINT......During The Forefoot Phase the force exerted actually increased to between and seven times body weight 😲😲😲 (That means the foot of a 70kg runner can be called upon to support a weight of 500kg or more!!)
So get sprinting !!! 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️
*Try sprinting for 20 seconds 5 x with 2 min* easy walk in-between
don’t forget to warm up properly first 🧐 ⛔️⛔️ 🤟🤟🤟

Do you think of Deadlifts as back or leg exercise? ?🧐🧐🧐

I recommend devoting 1 day per week to solely to deadlifts super-setting with shrugs to overload the the traps and thicken the back.....

Detached a tendon in my hand recently (making my bed) ! 😂😂😂🤚 so getting back into heavier weights after 8 weeks off.
Be careful out there! 🤟

Ice remains the most accepted therapy for acute injuries and recovery from intense performance, because it decreases pain and swelling associated with injuries. However, research has proven no benefits associated with icing and immediately returning to play. Ice treatments should remain the final step after exercise.

Do you even train mid back bra?? 🏋🏼‍♀️ Having a strong middle back increases shoulder stability and prevents a multitude of shoulder injuries;
Bursitis, AC strains, Impingement etc.
Remember - prevention is better than cure!

The philosophy of HiBody is to get your body looking balanced, powerful and athletic. The most effective way of doing this is by performing exercises that stimulate muscles in ways they are designed to be used in real life. This means more effective muscle stimulation, which means bigger results. This type of training is sometimes referred to as functional training.
