A new chapter in my life:
.
I have gained a lot of weight in the last couple of months and here I am, working out to be in shape, fit and healthy. It makes me feel energetic and that is what motivates me to exercise every day.
.
One important thing: The menstrual cup has helped not to skip gym. Have you switched to a menstrual cup yet?
If not, tell me why and I will guide you through it
Also tell me what do you do to stay fit?

HOW TO START A NEW TRAINING PROGRAM TO MAXIMIZE GAINS
.
It’s #ScienceSunday! Double tap for some #BrainGains!
Comment down below if you’re interested in MAXIMIZING YOUR GAINS If you’ve ever taken some time off the gym and then gone back, determined to get right back into it, you’ll know the pain and soreness that usually occurs after the first few workouts due to excessive muscle damage. This study looked at a way to minimize the excessive muscle damage to help maximize your first workouts back in the gym
.
THE STUDY: The purpose of this study was to evaluate if performing one workout at very light intensity (10% max) two days before a regular intensity workout could lessen muscle damage compared to jumping straight into regular intensity
The subjects were untrained men. They were divided into two groups: light workout before regular workout and just a regular workout
They first measured maximum force output. Then the light workout group performed a workout at 10% maximum force and the other group did no workout. Two days later both groups performed a workout at 80% force. Measures of muscle damager were taken pre- and post-exercise for all training sessions and for the next 5 days post exercise. .
THE RESULTS:
The 10% training was effective at protecting against muscle damage in all muscle groups and across all outcome measures.
Damage was lower and recovery was faster in the 10% group versus the 80%-only group.
.
WHAT THIS MEANS: If you’ve taken time off the gym and want to maximize your first workouts back in the gym, doing a very light workout as your first workout will maximize the effectiveness of your next workout when you go at full intensity. Its better to ease your way back into training then to all out your first time back in the gym.
.
❗️LIMITATIONS: Small sample size. Used untrained men, but it should still translate to trained individuals who have taken time away from the gym
