Harro East Athletic Club Offers Our Rochester NY Members Healthy Fitness Tips:
FIT TIP #1: WARM UP TO WORK OUT
Adding an extra 5 to 10 minutes before each of your workouts with warm ups will prevent injury and lessen fatigue. We recommend pre-exercise warm-ups and stretches to benefit your overall health. When you take the time to do this before working out, blood moves faster through your arteries and veins, which gradually leads to working muscles. Help jump start your exercise program by warming up and stimulating your cardiorespiratory and neuromuscular systems and metabolic energy.

FIT TIP #2: EXERCISE CAN HELP CONTROL STRESS
Exercising makes you feel better overall because chemicals called neurotransmitters are stimulated. These chemicals mediate our moods and emotions, thus making us feel better and less stressed. Exercise can help you relax, feel less anxious, and feel better about yourself.

FIT TIP #3: FLEXIBLE BENEFITS
We understand the three most important elements of a fitness program are to weight-train to maintain lean muscle tissue and build strength, as well as flexibility training. Being flexible allows your body greater freedom of movement and improved posture. The less active we are, the less flexible we are likely to be. With regular training, your flexibility will continue to improve.

FIT TIP #4: BATTLING BOREDOM
We also understand that performing the same routine exercise programs can be boring. Depending on your interests, cardio-funk or kickboxing can be substituted for step aerobics. Maybe you should try working on different weight machines as opposed to hoisting free weights. Changing our regular fitness routine can help add motivation to your workout. With so many fitness options at Harro East Athletic Club, you are sure to battle boredom!

Following simple dietary practices throughout the day will help you accomplish your workout. Over a short period of time, you will notice you are more refreshed and energized.
