Continuing the series of posts on fitness equipment you can use at home, in the #3 slot we have barbells. As with dumbbells, this is StrongFast after all, so strength training equipment is high on the list. Barbells are a time-tested tool for getting stronger.

Home Equipment - 3: Barbells

How often does a trainer tell you to go easier? Sometimes it's the right thing to do. Especially when the alternative is doing nothing.

Make It Easier

RETRO POST: 7 November 2014

I was posting fast and furious back then. This one is long before I got my (not so) fancy-pants sit-to-stand riser but it's a good reminder especially for folks working from home now. We should have much more control over our work environment at home. Make the most of it!

NEWS AND NOTES


It's almost summer!

We went from snow in May to 90 degrees in May and again in June...and it's not even summer! But this is probably a good time to review the dangers of training in heat.

Some symptoms of heat exhaustion include:

  • fatigue
  • dizziness
  • nausea
  • confusion
  • headache
If you experience any of these in the heat, rest in the shade and drink fluids (without alcohol or caffeine). Cool compresses, fans, or other means of cooling off can also help. If symptoms don't lessen within 15 minutes, seek emergency medical help to avoid heat stroke which can be really bad.

Some Captain Obvious tips to prevent heat exhaustion:
  • Drink lots of water!
  • Wear light, loose-fitting clothing
  • Stay out of the sun
  • Have good ventilation
  • Take frequent breaks
  • Drink lots of water! (Yes, again.)
Also, see the "Make It Easier" post above. That can also apply to hot days.

Stay safe. Stay healthy. Stay strong. Literally.

Be seeing you.
