Push-up - Right form to protect your shoulders (Part 1 )

Performing push-ups with your arms abducted at 90 degrees, as shown in picture X - a T-shape Push-up, hikes up your traps. This results in closing the space around your rotator cuff tendons, with the risk of impinging it and injuring your shoulder. Further, a T-shape push-up will put immense pressure on your neck and the anterior part of your shoulder.

A-shape push-ups on the other hand, as shown in picture ✅puts your scapula in a better and stable position which stabilises the shoulder joints.

            Today I want to reach out to possibly millions of those women through this article who have been misinformed or rather, have misinterpreted the role of weight training in their lives. Weight training conventionally is believed by some women to be something exclusively meant for men. I wish to keep this short and precise for you to understand so I am not emphasising much on how we evolved and what early men did centuries back. But we do know that they were super efficient in terms of their strength based performances, endurance and functionality. I must add to this that they had amazing tactical skills and coming precisely to the point- they had a very good body composition! Women were physically as good as men!

Ramadan is almost knocking on our door, and the question keeps popping in our mind how to manage fitness with the Roza, Sehri, and Iftaar.

So a lot of us have had this question as to which is better when it comes to training- dumbbell or barbell. Some say barbell feels good while some others are dumbbell feel gooders.

Well there's no feel-good thing when it comes to stating scientific facts. So breaking the ice- it's the dumbbell who wins!

Reasons:

A good number of people perform some form of Intermittent Fasting (IF) due to a variety of reasons. Many people across the globe practice it due to religious reasons. IF is nothing but fasting done intermittently, where you consume no food/water during the fasting period.

The question that I often get while helping such clients is, “How do I manage my nutrition/training while following the fast?”

Marinate Minced Chicken with 1 tsp ginger garlic paste, 1 tsp red chilli powder, 1/2 lemon, salt as per taste. Add butter to pan and cook chicken with 2 tbsp cream till completely done.

Scoop mushroom and stuff chicken minced and topped with mozzarella cheese, sprinkle oregano and bake at 150 for 10 minutes.

Dont Have access to gym?? Are you a busy Mom?? 

Here comes a solution... A beginner fullbody home workout video by Shraddha and Pravin 

Deadlift tutorial:

Before you watch the video, please see the picture.

Picture 1: The stance.

Since this is a conventional deadlift, the stance is a hip width stance. The center of the foot is exactly under the bar. Shin to bar is not the right concept. You'll know why as you read further.

Picture 2: Grip.

The grip that you see here is called a dead grip. One arm is supinated (under the bar) and the other is pronated (over the bar). This gives a very strong hold. People who are comfortable with a normal grip are good to go as long as they feel strong.
