FAQ: Frequently Asked Questions
How to warm up before exercise?
A good warm-up should last 5 to 10 minutes and include light aerobic activity and dynamic stretching.
Why is stretching important?
Stretching keeps the muscles flexible, strong, and healthy, and we need that flexibility to maintain a range of motion in the joints.
Are machines better than free weights?
Free weights build better stabilization and functional strength, while machines are great for isolating muscles safely.
How much rest do I need between sets?
Rest periods vary by goal: 1-2 minutes for hypertrophy, 3-5 minutes for strength, and 30-60 seconds for endurance.
What is an AMRAP workout?
AMRAP stands for 'As Many Rounds (or Reps) As Possible' in a given time frame, common in CrossFit.
What is calisthenics?
Calisthenics is a form of strength training consisting of a variety of movements that exercise large muscle groups using body weight.
What is hypertrophy?
Hypertrophy is the increase and growth of muscle cells, typically achieved through resistance training.
What is active recovery?
Active recovery involves low-intensity exercise, like walking or cycling, to promote blood flow and muscle repair on rest days.
What is DOMS?
Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness (DOMS) is the muscle pain felt 24-72 hours after unaccustomed or intense exercise.
Is it better to do cardio before or after weights?
It is generally better to do weights first to ensure you have maximum energy for lifting, followed by cardio.
