9 Gym Safety Strategies for Healthy Workouts

http://www.TabataSongs.com // Megan R, an assistant CrossFit coach at Pioneer Valley CrossFit (Hadley, MA. USA), never stopped moving throughout her pregnancy before giving birth to a healthy baby boy. Through the support of her CrossFit community she worked out multiple times per week, constantly scaling the exercise movements to her body’s changing limitations. Watch Megan scale movements such as burpees, box jumps, cleans, snatches, push-ups and ring rows as her body undergoes the amazing transformation of pregnancy..
“I remember after finding out I was pregnant, I looked up ‘pregnant crossfit’ on YouTube just out of curiosity. What I watched was really intimidating and completely beyond my ability level. I immediately felt anxious about continuing to train throughout my pregnancy after seeing kipping pullups and handstand push-ups completed by very fit, very pregnant women. I imagine some women out there have had similar experiences and now having been a ‘pregnant crossfitter,’ here are my general thoughts:
“It’s true about CrossFit that every movement can be modified even to accommodate growing bellies, loosening joints, and swollen ankles. Beyond having a structured and safe environment to move in, the community of which CrossFit provides is nurturing and encouraging. Being pregnant can be isolating. So having gym members and other moms cheer you on makes a big difference. I was lucky to have a wonderful coaching staff and good friends who supported me throughout the pregnancy.” -Megan R..

TabataSongs creates music that matches the exact timing of the Tabata Protocol.
What is Tabata? 20 Seconds of sprint/work, 10 second rest, for 4 straight minutes. Tabata music lets you focus on your workout, rather than think about having to look at your watch or a timer…
Tabata Training began in the mid 1990’s. Japanese fitness researcher Dr Izumi Tabata created a HIIT (high intensity interval training) workout, using this very method. Dr Tabata proved the tabata method to draw heavily from both the aerobic and anaerobic systems, unlike most conventional workouts, which tend heavily favor one or the other..
The Tabata Interval has gained a lot of recognition throughout the Crossfit community, running community, and health clubs across the globe, for its versatility, adaptability, and positive results..
The Tabata Interval Method has proven to maximize VO2 max, while also building endurance, burning fat, and retaining muscle. Though the Tabata was not designed as a fat loss or weight loss program, it has gained a lot of recent attention in response to tabatas ability to speed up the metabolism and burn fat..
What is Crossfit? A workout program designed by Greg Glassman, which follows daily WOD (workout of the day) posts on the company’s official site. CrossFit often uses tabata in their w.o.d.

Exercising during pregnancy can help increase energy, reduce stress, improve sleep and help you get your body back after childbirth. But in order to reap these benefits, it’s important to engage in exercises that are safe for you and the baby. In this video, Sabrena Merrill walks you through some exercises that will help strengthen your core and other muscles ones that will ensure you’re healthy and ready for your new addition.

Hey my name is Erin and I’m a former U.S. Junior Olympic-certified swim coach and personal trainer and fitness is my passion so I cannot wait to share it with you guys..
All right. Some weight training tips for you ladies. Now the first thing that I hear from many women is, “I don’t want to weight train. I don’t want to get big and bulky. I don’t want to look muscular. I’m going to look like a man. I can’t lift heavy weights.” Let me tell you if you haven’t heard it before, there is no way that you will look like a man unless you have a hormone imbalance. Women just don’t produce enough testosterone to grow as big as men. Therefore, you should not be afraid of lifting weights because no matter how heavy the weight, you’re really never going to get huge..
You always need to stretch. If you don’t stretch the muscle won’t appear long and lean. It can have a bulkier look. And you need to maintain a clean diet because you can build muscle underneath a layer of fat. You know the more fat that you have over that layer of muscle, the larger you’re going to look naturally until you get rid of that fat. So those are a couple of things to keep in mind. But please do not worry because you will not look like a man even by lifting very heavy weights. Most women don’t actually lift enough weight..
Another thing to keep in mind is that as women, we lose 5% of our muscle mass every ten years after age 30. So starting at age 30, your muscle mass is dropping off by 5% every ten years so it’s really, really important that regardless of what age you are you continue a strength training routine. If you start before the age of 30 that’s actually better because you’re building muscle mass and your body will have that muscle memory and it will be easier for you as you get older. But even if you’re 35, 40, 45, 50 it doesn’t matter. Pick up a set of weights. It’s never too late to learn. That said, if you’re brand new to strength training and you’re not quite sure how to use them, don’t just follow a DVD or even our videos alone. Get the help of a trainer, even if it’s just a couple of times so that they can correct your form and that you understand how to do it on your own..
Another cool fact if you didn’t already know this is that muscle burns fat. Yes, it does. So the more muscle that you have on your body, the higher your metabollic rate will be, theoretically, because muscle requires energy so you are going to expend more calories the more muscle that you have on your body. So it behooves you to build some muscle mass and it’s not that easy for women. You really have to work at it, eat enough protein and keep a clean diet, get enough rest..
Rest is also really important. Don’t overdo it. More is not necessarily better. People tend to think, “Well, if 15 reps is good then 30 reps is even better.” That’s not necessarily the case. You need to rest your muscles in order for them to grow. So what happens during exercise is that you’re creating tiny tears in the muscle fiber. Okay? And the way that the muscle grows and strengthens and hardens is by those torn muscle fibers healing. So you want to create those teeny little tears. They’re good. But if you don’t give yourself adequate time to rest, you’re never going to see any improvement. So it’s really, really crucial to rest. If you work legs one day, don’t work them the next day. Just listen to your body. Being a little bit sore is good sometimes, but you don’t want too much pain. No pain, no gain is true only to an extent. Don’t force yourself to the point where you can’t take it anymore..
Another important point is that the scale lies. Yes, it’s true. The scale can lie to you. And what I mean by that is that the scale is not literally lying but that people often focus on the number that’s on the scale and while that can be a good motivator to inspire you to work out and lose weight, it’s important not to focus so much on that number, specifically if you are weight training and looking to increase your muscle mass. The reason I say that is because muscle weighs more than fat. So it’s not necessarily a bad thing to see that number increase if the incre
