Smith machine good mornings form tips 👇 Wearing @DFYNE discount code: VERA 💕 (I wear sized small) 1. Set Up the Smith Machine: - Position the barbell at an appropriate height on the Smith machine. It should be placed on your upper traps, not your neck. 2. Foot Placement: - Stand with your slightly wider than shoulder-width apart. Your toes can be slightly turned out. 3. Barbell Position: - Grip the barbell with both hands slightly wider than shoulder-width apart. Ensure your wrists are straight and elbows are pointing down. 4. Engage Your Core: - Before starting the movement, engage your core muscles to stabilize your spine and protect your lower back. 5. Hip Hinge: - Keeping a slight bend in your knees, hinge at your hips by pushing them back while maintaining a neutral spine. Lower your torso towards the floor while keeping your back straight. 6. Depth: - Lower your torso until you feel a stretch in your hamstrings. Avoid rounding your back or going too low, as this can strain your lower back. 7. Drive Through Your Hips: - Push through your heels and drive your hips forward to return to the starting position. Squeeze your glutes at the top of the movement. 8. Control the Movement: - Focus on controlling the descent and ascent of the movement.
1. Not drinking enough water: Creatine can cause dehydration, so it is important to drink plenty of water when taking it to prevent potential side effects such as muscle cramps and digestive issues. 2. Taking too much: It is important to follow the recommended dosage instructions when taking creatine. Taking too much can lead to side effects such as bloating, stomach cramps, and diarrhea. It is recommended to take 5g of creatine per day. 3. Not cycling off: Some people believe that they need to take creatine continuously to see results, but it is actually recommended to cycle off of it periodically to give your body a break and prevent potential side effects. 4. Not combining with proper nutrition and exercise: Creatine is most effective when combined with a proper diet and exercise routine. Simply taking creatine without making other lifestyle changes may not lead to the desired results. My fav creatine is from @Muscle Nation discount code: VERA 🥰

Walking vs running Here are some reasons why walking is better then running as a fat burning exercise: 1. When you walk at a moderate pace, your body primarily burns fat for fuel, while running can switch between burning fat and carbs, depending on the intensity. Walking for longer periods helps tap into the body’s fat stores more effectively. 2. Walking is a lower-intensity exercise, allowing people to sustain it for longer periods without fatiguing quickly. This can lead to a greater overall calorie burn, especially if done for extended durations. 3. Walking is easier on the joints and muscles than running, making it more sustainable for a wider range of people, including those with injuries or mobility issues. This means you’re more likely to stick with it consistently, leading to better long-term fat loss. 4. Running, especially at high intensities, can lead to muscle loss if done excessively, as the body may start using muscle tissue for fuel once glycogen stores are depleted. Walking, being less intense, is less likely to result in muscle breakdown and is more effective for fat loss without compromising lean muscle mass.
