Fit Tips
A sports enthusiast and certified personal trainer for 16 years, Allan Angeles knows what it takes to lead a healthy lifestyle. Here are a few of his key fitness tips from his
workout arsenal.
Drink Up
Always remain hydrated. Approximately 70% of a muscle’s weight is water-based. Proper hydration is vital for proper function, performance, and avoiding muscle cramps.
Body Fuel
Eat 5-6 small meals each day to ensure your body is fueled for your workout and throughout the day. Always consume protein to satisfy your hunger and to help build muscle.
Flex Power
Many people lead sedentary lifestyles, spending a majority of their time sitting. To fight the effects of inactivity and maintain a good range of motion, perform active or dynamic stretching.
Heart Smart
Try interval training for a cardiovascular workout that will make your heart pound. Start off with a five-minute warm-up and then spend 10-15 minutes increasing and decreasing your intensity. Follow-up with a 5-10 minute cool down to bring your beating heart back to a rest.
Lift Right
Traditional strength training isolates one muscle at a time to strengthen the body’s larger muscles. Performing movements that require the integration of multiple muscles improves overall fitness.
Rest & Relaxation
Get an average of eight hours of sleep per night to recharge. Also, give yourself 24-48 hours between workouts so that your body has time to recover. This is an essential step in reaching your fitness goals.
Wellness Retreat
Here since Nov. 2003, The Sports Club/LA-Miami, operated by Millennium Partners Sports Club Management LLC, was created to provide Miami residents with access and resources to help them achieve their fitness goals, conveniently and effectively in the heard of The Magic City.
