Good Morning!
We are sticking to the theme of scrubbing the slate clean this September. We have covered house, lemony goodness for internal cleaning, and this week - week talk movement!
Exercising to release sweat is an excellent idea when you want to eliminate toxins from your body.
First, drink a lot of water before, during, and after an exercise routine. Avoid drinking caffeinated beverages such as tea, coffee, or soft drinks because caffeine can dehydrate your body, leading to health problems while you are working out.
So where do we want the focus?
Here are some types of exercise that will help you to sweat:
Tabata: Tabata is a type of specialized interval training that was designed in the late 1990s. A researcher wanted to create an interval-training program for athletes that would only require 30-minutes while also creating excellent results. This training program requires several minutes of intense activity followed by 10-seconds of rest for a total of eight rounds of exercise.
Climbing Stairs: Walking up or down a flight of stairs is a great way to perspire. You can complete this activity in your own home or an apartment building. If you are traveling, then you can perform this exercise in a hotel that has several levels. You can also buy a stair-climber machine that permits you to continue walking on the steps as long as you like.
Hot Yoga: Hot yoga is a popular form of exercise that involves performing postures in a room that is heated. For this type of exercise, the yoga studio is kept at a high humidity so that you perspire a lot. As soon as you enter a hot yoga room, you will begin to sweat, releasing dangerous toxins from your body.
Spinning: One of the best ways to perspire is by spinning on a stationary bicycle several times a week. You can visit a local gym that has specialized spinning bicycles, or you can buy one to keep in your own home. Experts recommend a 45-minute spinning session to enjoy the most benefits from this type of exercise.
Weightlifting: If you want to increase your muscle strength in addition to eliminating toxins, then join a weightlifting class. At a gym in your neighborhood, you can find barbells and free weights to help you sweat. In addition, there are often specialized machines that permit you to lift weights with your legs while you are sitting.
Kickboxing: Kickboxing involves punching and kicking with an opponent, but you can also use a heavy punching bag that hangs from the ceiling. This type of physical activity will make you sweat as you fight against an opponent or practice with the punching bag.
Running: You can enjoy running in almost any neighborhood, and this form of exercise is easy to perform alone or with others. A long run can help you to perspire to remove the toxins from your tendons or muscles to improve your overall well-being.
Hiking: Be like me and hike it out! Hiking is so good for the body and for the soul - we get to connect to nature and look for nature symbolism all while moving. My earthy heart loves this one!
Before beginning any exercise routine, don’t forget to warm up first. One of the best ways to warm up is by using a sauna at an exercise gym or day spa. A sauna treatment can help you to release toxins from your body.
And bonus points for a post-exercise sauna sesh to soothe your sore muscles!
