Tip of the Day: 28.01.2020

Don’t look at fast-paced, pumping activity to decompress from the stresses of your day. According to personal trainer Dalton Wong, who works with Jennifer Lawrence and Olivia Colman, among others: ‘When people are stressed, they often turn to high-intensity workouts or long runs because they think this will de-stress them. However, the opposite is true – you end up running for your life, and the stress hormones keep getting pumped out. When you’ve had a bad day at work, choose calming workouts such as yoga, Pilaes, walking or simple stretching, which will loosen your joints, elongate your muscles and take your body out of the fight-or-flight mode, which will also benefit your skin. You can always burn calories another day.’
