Smovey - John Harris Fitness

Smovey

Training with the Smovey rings is a gentle to powerful whole body workout. Ideal for recreational athletes, returners, beginners or for people with impairments.

The sponge rubber grip provides a pleasant soft feeling in the hands. Due to the weight of approx. 500g per Smovey ring and the gentle vibrations which occur during swinging, there is an increased activation of the metabolism and lymphatic system during and after the training.

At the beginning of the session, the spine is mobilized and the joints activated with simple swinging exercises. The following exercises for strength and endurance are performed on the one hand, to increase the range of motion, and on the other hand, to build trunk and joint stability. At the end of the hour we treat ourselves to a relaxing (self-)massage with the Smovey rings.

Effective weight loss - fat burning with aerobics

Exercises like aerobics may prove to be your most effective method of weight loss because the pounds will start to disappear almost on their own. But how can you lose weight the most successfully? It's critical to realize that maintaining a constant heart rate while exercising for at least 30 minutes at a time is more important than working out as hard as you can. A longer, relatively light-load workout will burn fat much more efficiently than a shorter, more intense workout. The cardiovascular system is stressed when pulse rate varies excessively. The best pulse rate for burning fat, according to studies, is between 55% and 75% of your maximum pulse. Your body primarily uses fatty acids for energy in this range. It's best to perform a performance test while a doctor watches you in order to find out your maximum heart rate. Just inquire with your trainer.

The best exercises to lose weight quickly

People come to us wanting to burn as many calories as possible in a short period of time in order to lose weight quickly. It takes time to get a little less hip, a flatter stomach, and tighter thighs, but with targeted exercises, it moves quickly and you can see the results in the mirror quickly. It's best to incorporate both cardio and strength training into your workout. By doing this, you will quickly burn calories during your cardio workout and over the long term by adding muscle. Avoid taking extended breaks if you want to maintain sustained high levels of fat burning and circulation. Plan three to four intense sessions per week so that you can see results right away.

Top 5 biggest weight loss mistakes

The temperatures outside are rising steadily, the weather is getting nicer, and the clothes are getting more constricting. However, for many people, this fact brings on more stress than joy. Again, you didn't work out enough over the winter, you overindulged in unhealthy foods, and now your favorite miniskirt from last year doesn't fit. Losing weight is the obvious, if not always straightforward, solution. Many people typically want to lose weight, especially in the spring. However, the diet and exercise program frequently falls far short of your expectations. There are a variety of causes for this, so in order to prevent you from getting discouraged during your diet, we are sharing the top 5 weight loss mistakes with you right now.

HIIT- Fat burning in an instant

The time to get physically fit is running out as summer approaches. For this reason, many people are still looking for a workout that is as efficient as possible and gives quick results suitable for a bikini. It should, of course, also save time in order to be best incorporated into the hectic daily life. However, what may seem like high demands can be easily summed up in one word: HIIT! This fitness fad is a time-saving alternative to traditional fitness training and is a veritable miracle weapon in the war against unwelcome body fat. Everything you need to know about HIIT, which is currently popular, will be covered in this article.

Get rid of belly fat

Almost everyone wants to lose weight around their midsection. Exercises like crunches, sit-ups, and other abdominal movements are used to reduce excess belly fat. Unfortunately, these exercises don't actually aid in belly fat reduction. We'll let you know what actually works to lose that troublesome belly fat.

Warming up - the elephant in the room

Your body is at risk if you begin cold. Every training session should therefore begin with a proper warm-up. On the other hand, if the muscles are already fatigued as a result of too much warming up, this can also be detrimental to training success. To achieve the best results, it is crucial to understand the proper dosage and modify the warm-up program for the subsequent workout.

Fitness Trend: Boxing

Want to try something different from running, lifting weights, or yoga? Then boxing might be the perfect activity for you. This all-encompassing sport, which goes beyond punching, is frequently underrated. You exercise both your body and your mind when you box.

Imaginative power workout - your introduction to circuit training

Varying your training, getting the most out of it, and doing it quickly. Sounds great, right?

TRX: Full-Body Workout Using Body Weight

The TRX workout is as varied as the muscle groups it targets. Utilizing adjustable straps facilitates movements like swinging, lying down, or standing, sculpting the desired physique without external weights. In addition to fortifying the entire musculoskeletal system, this approach hones balance and coordination by engaging interconnected muscle chains.

Identifying Your Metabolism Type

While we lack control over our inherent body type, we can optimize its potential. Understanding how your metabolic type influences training outcomes can expedite success. Categorically, three basic types emerge: ectomorphs, mesomorphs, and endomorphs. A vast spectrum exists within these types, offering insights into individual strengths and challenges. By harnessing this knowledge, one can accelerate progress.

Choosing the Right Sportswear for Enhanced Performance

While it's possible to exercise in any attire, opting for appropriate sportswear can optimize performance and comfort. This is particularly relevant for regular athletes seeking to augment their workouts. This guide underscores key factors to consider when selecting functional workout attire, enhancing your overall exercise experience.

The Fat Killers in Nature

Who wouldn't want a miracle pill that makes all our love handles disappear? Unfortunately, this doesn't exist. But there are small miracle cures from nature, which support and accelerate the weight loss process. They are natural remedies that boost your fat metabolism and increase calorie consumption.

Interval fasting - Slimming or hunger enducing.

Intermittent fasting - celebrities, fitness gurus and influencers already swear by it. Even though the idea is not new, this method has experiencing a new hype. But what is interval fasting and what advantages and disadvantages does it bring with it?
What is Intermittent Fasting?
Intermittent fasting is not a fasting cure in the classic sense. Instead, you alternate between phases of eating normally and phases of complete abstinence. This way of eating is designed to make it possible to reap the benefits of fasting without experiencing cravings or feelings of weakness. For many, however, weight loss is the main motivation.

Aqua Fitness: Diving into Fitness

Senior gymnastics? Think again. Aqua fitness has gained traction as an effective calorie-burning workout that is easy on the joints and offers a refreshing alternative to traditional forms of exercise.

Effective Muscle Building with Kettlebell Workouts

Kettlebell workouts are celebrated for their efficiency in building lean muscle and shedding excess fat. Incorporating dynamic movements, these workouts yield comprehensive benefits in minimal time.

Beginner's Guide to Dumbbell Training

Dumbbells are versatile gym equipment, offering freedom in training routines. While they offer various benefits, beginners should adhere to proper techniques to avoid injuries. Correct movement sequences are essential for effective muscle development and overall training impact.

Perfecting Weightlifting Techniques

Exercises like deadlifts, squats, and bench presses are foundational barbell movements. The proper technique is crucial for safe and effective results. Variations such as the pyramid principle, where weight and repetitions change in different sets, can offer new challenges as you progress.

Equipment Training vs. Free Weight Training

The ongoing debate over the merits of equipment training versus free weight training is a common query within the fitness sphere. Opinions diverge among personal trainers, fitness experts, and enthusiasts, each approach offering distinct advantages. However, a definitive answer remains elusive, as the choice hinges on individual goals, preferences, and circumstances.

Mastering the Pull-Up: Common Errors

Pull-ups are a quintessential and efficient exercise, serving as a benchmark of upper body strength.
