Everything You Need to Know About Isolation Training for Working Out From Home

Isolation training means that you are training just one specific muscle group and really focussing on that muscle during a particular exercise. An example of an isolation exercise is the bicep curl. This is a move that targets the biceps specifically and allows you to build muscle tears and metabolic stress in that region without it spilling out in other areas.

This can be contrasted with compound movements, such as the squat. The squat is not an isolation movement because it challenges too many muscle groups all at once. This works the quads, the calves, the hamstrings, the core and even the lower back to a degree. Put all this together and it is a ‘bigger’ exercise that challenges more muscles and one that is more akin to the way we move in the real world. Read more

How to Make Up for a Lack of Heavy Weights When Training From Home

When you start training from home, one of the biggest challenges is making up for a lack of true heavyweights. As you get better and you build up your home gym, there’s a chance you might eventually be able to stock it with a bench press and load a good 100kg onto that. But this costs a lot of money and involves committing a lot of space for your new home gym.

Most of us won’t have that luxury, to begin with, them and that means we’re going to be training with far fewer resources and much less weight. With that in mind, the question then becomes how you can challenge your body significantly, even without having that much weight to pile onto the bar. Let’s take a look… Read more

Celiac Disease May Require Gluten Free Diet

Some food grain antigens found in wheat, rye, and barley are thought to create a toxic reaction in those who suffer from celiac disease, gluten intolerance, wheat allergy, and other health problems. Studies have been inconclusive but the gluten intolerance seems based in genetic makeup, especially in people of Northern European descent.

For someone with gluten intolerance, eating foods made with those grains containing gluten, especially wheat, may cause severe gastrointestinal discomfort. Celiac disease commonly requires a gluten-free diet. Read more

Why Running is an Important Addition to Your Home Training Routine

Jogging has been getting a lot of bad press lately. That’s because running is an example of ‘steady state cardio’. That means that it involves exerting yourself at a low level for a long period of time – running for 30-50 minutes for example. This is something that fewer and fewer people now advice with the advent of HIIT (high-intensity interval training) and it has something that has been shown to be less efficient than that alternative.

If you want to build muscle as quickly and effectively as possible, then you should be alternating high intensity with periods of recovery. This will burn more fat in the long term, it will increase the health of mitochondria and it will be less likely to burn through the muscle. Or at least that’s the theory. But actually, there are a lot of good reasons to carry on using steady state and we’re going to take a look at those now. Read more
