Missed The Benefits of Water Aerobics with Me on MelloFM88?!

by Fit Happens with GabbyWhat's Hot

Summer is over, but news is it’s not getting any cooler. If the gym and sweating doesn’t agree with you, try Water Aerobics and check out #SugaEndorsed @poolaerobics on Instagram !

1. IT IS LOW IMPACT
Beneficial for older adults/persons who do not want to put a lot of stress on the joints.
Excellent for rehabilitation
Buoyancy of water supports your weight, giving its own resistance, reducing impact on joints and the intensity of pain.

2. GREAT FOR CARDIOVASCULAR FITNESS
It still gets your heart pumping and has you breathing hard as you work out.
You still need to hydrate.

3. BUILDS CORE STRENGTH
With proper execution of Water Aerobics movement, you are forced to activate your core to keep balanced and stable above water.

4. IT IMPROVES MOBILITY & FLEXIBILITY
Some movements involve bending towards the toes, reaching upwards, stretching the back, arms etc.
If you stumble or lose your balance, the water makes for a soft landing.

5. IT CAN BR A RECOVERY WORKOUT
Helps you wind down from other workouts

***BONUS***
Di Wata Feel Nice!
Water is therapeutic and cold water can have an anti-inflammatory effect on persons with arthritis, knee issues and achey joints.

Check out @poolaerobics (Instagram) right here in Jamaica!

How to Survive and Stay Healthy During Carnival Weekend!

by Health & FitnessWhat's Hot
Instagram pic: @carnivalinjamaica

1. HYDRATE
Long hours in the sun + drinking alcohol will dehydrate you. Skip the sugary, sports drinks and drink a lot of water/try chasing or alternating alcoholic beverages with coconut water. You can add pedialite to your water too!

2. USE SUNSCREEN, WEAR SUNGLASSES &/ VISORS/HATS
Protect your skin with SPF 30 (light skinned), 50 or higher (melanin poppin’).
Don’t forget to reapply regularly.
The sun can damage your eyes too, so protect them

3. DON’T FORGET HAND SANITIZERS/WIPES
Even before Covid…Port-a-potties are gross, buying from vendors who may not sanitize is gross… Please still have your sanitizers handy to keep your hands as clean & as germ-free as possible.

4. EAT HEALTHY WHEN YOU CAN
Late nights and long days make it easy to resort to fast food/junk food
Stock up on protein-filled snacks like low-fat & low-sugar protein bars and nuts.
Make your Turkey/Tuna sandwiches, pre-cook/slow cook dinner, so it’s ready when you get home.

5. SLEEP
Prevent a breakdown on your immune system to avoid getting run down and sick

***BONUS TIP***
STRETCH !
Stretch and hydrate before the road march to avoid cramping and dead legs. You did not prep for this day to ride out Carnival in an ambulance or on the truck.
See You on the Road!
