When to Exercise?: What We know! | Flat Tummy Co

It can be tricky knowing how much exercise is enough. We all live different lives, have different goals, and of course different bodies. That's why we've decided to break down what we know about moderate exercise to help you keep your goals on track. Keep reading babe, we’re sharing all the deets!

Finding the right amount of exercise

It really depends on lifestyle. The general recommended amount is 2.5 hours a week of moderate-intensity workouts - if you break that down, that’s about 30 minutes a day (easy peasy). Exercise can also help reduce stress, increase weight loss, improve memory and so much more. A great way to get convenient workouts in is with a home workout bundle.

Choosing the right type of exercise

The first thing to remember is that any form of exercise is good for the body and mind. Even taking a brisk walk or shovelling snow. We also have some effective exercises you can do to kick things up a notch. Interval style workouts - activities like walking, running, some weight training or even carrying items up and down the stairs count! Strength training combined with cardio works together to help maintain overall health.

Knowing the importance of protein

Consuming the proper amount of protein after exercise is essential. We recommend fuelling your body with a form of protein 30-45 mins post-workout as it helps repair muscles while replenishing your body with good cals. Make sure you reward yourself after that workout with a tasty vegan protein shake.
