If you've tried to find a categorical 'yes' or 'no' answer to the question: Do you need a pre-workout snack then chances are you haven't been too successful. While it would be near impossible to say either 'yes' or ' no' to the question, it would be safe to say "Probably not." The slightly longer answer would be: Only you can decide whether you need a pre-workout snack based on how long it's been between your last meal and the...
There is considerable debate around to stretch or not to stretch before workouts but few will disagree with the importance and benefits of stretching after workouts. Stretching after workouts not only helps improve the effectiveness of the workout but also helps prevent muscle soreness ensuring that you are less likely to take a “sore muscle day off.” So if you are someone who quickly does a few stretches after a workout and runs off, you might want to take a...

The slight difference allows for additional arm...

Up-tempo music has been shown to improve the effectiveness of workouts compared to slow tracks. In India, the problem of rubbish workout music applies to everyone who isn't a fan of Bollywood love songs and the Bollywood "remixes." How gyms expect people to run or workout to Bollywood love songs is beyond...
Exercises strengthen the muscles only when done correctly i.e. with correct form. But there are some exercises that might cause muscle or joint injury even if you do them like they're meant to be done. That's because these exercises cause the body to move in ways that put too much strain on either the muscle or the joints.
