Most people who work out moderately eat about the same as they would if they didn't exercise - or just slightly more. By exercising regularly you are likely to become trimmer and fitter even if your weight stays the same, since you will be building muscle and burning body fat. Stretching cold muslces can injure them. Warming up prepares you for exercise by gradually increasing your heart rate and blood flow, raining the temperature of muscles, and improving muscle function. It may also decrease the chance of a sports injury.
Research suggests that a full supply of magnesium can maximize exercise effeciency.
When stationary cyclists were put on a low-magnesium diet they used up to 15 percent more oxygen and their heart rates were 10 beats per minute faster. Meeting your daily requirement of 350 milligrams of magnesium is not hard. Studies conducted recently reveal an easy way for them to do this. Combined strength and stretching exercises may produce more improvements in strength than weight lifting by itself. BodyBasics E-Newsletter Vol.
