Facts that will blow your mind
There are so many fun facts out there that will blow your mind! Here are five that I found remarkable and didn't know yet...
- Running puts three to four times your body weight in pressure on your feet! Knowing this, you definiteley have to invest in some good looking running shoes!
- Not into running? Walking at a fast pace burns almost as many calories as jogging for the same distance.
- For every pound of muscle, the average person can burn up to 50 extra calories a day. That means more food without gaining weight. Do we need another reason to do strength training?
- Ok I have to admit, muscle pain is another effect of strength training that is not always very welcome... Ginger can help reduce exercise-induced muscle pain by up to 25%. Simply add some ginger to your tea or curry and enjoy.
- Working out boosts your mood and is an amazing natural anti-depressant. A good laugh works as well. Laughing out loud reduce cortisol levels and improves your bone density.
