Exercise For Energy!
Woman & Home Feel Good You|Spring 2018

You know it – the boost in blood flow that comes from a bit of movement can have a profound effect on your energy levels. leaving no fitness stone unturned, we’ve devised a step-by-step plan that will leave you feeling like you have more energy than ever before

Exercise For Energy!

30+ minute workouts

Perfect for boosting your energy and metabolism, burning calories and toning muscles, a few longer workouts should make your weekly to-do list. The rise in feel-good endorphins will help to make you feel on top of your game.

If you’re heading to the gym… 

Good classes for maximum fitness benefits and energy boosting include those that get the heart pumping, such as: 

Spinning 

Circuits 

Aerobics/Zumba 

A 30-40 minute stint on cardiovascular machines, such as the cross trainer, treadmill, bike and rower, will all work well to get blood and heart rate pumping, and prompt your body to release feel-good hormones such as dopamine, epinephrine and endorphins.

If you’re a runner…

Timing is key when it comes to maximising the energising effects of your run. Many runners find the energy-boosting effects of running are at their highest after a morning jog, while others find they enjoy a run after work to help de-stress.
