With Christmas and the New Year right around the corner, the scramble for christmas gifts begins and new year resolutions epiphanies start forming in your minds. Speaking of new year resolutions, we hope that achieving a healthy lifestyle is on your list and here’s why! 

There are so many reasons why exercising is good for you and there’s really no pill that comes close to what exercise can do for you. Even if there was, it would be one really expensive pill! 

EXERCISE IS GREAT FOR YOUR BRAIN

Exercise improves blood flow to the brain, feeding the growth of new blood vessels and even new brain cells! It promotes better memory and quicker learning. I don’t know about you, but after every workout session, my mind is instantly cleared and I can think better! As of now, it is the best way to prevent or delay the onset of Alzheimer’s disease!

YOU MIGHT GET HAPPIER

Exercise triggers the release of endorphins, helping to lighten your mood. It is most definitely a fantastic tension and stress reliever. It is not just about the physical benefits that exercise can bring to the table anymore, but the psychological and emotional benefits too!

IT MIGHT MAKE YOU AGE SLOWER

Ladies will especially love this point! Aging slower means better skin, it means looking young (the same) even when you are celebrating yet another birthday! Tell me, who does not want that? Exercise revs up blood flow to the skin, delivering oxygen and nutrients that improve skin health and even help wounds heal faster! 

If those points still can’t motivate you, maybe the last one will.

YOUR FAT CELLS WILL SHRINK

The body uses both carbohydrates and fats as energy sources. After consistent exercise, our bodies actually get better at burning fat, which requires a lot of oxygen to convert to energy. As our cardiovascular system gets stronger through exercise, it gets better at delivering oxygen, so we are able to metabolize more fat as an energy source. As a result, our fat cells which produce the substances responsible for chronic low-grade inflammation, shrink, so does inflammation!

Have a great weekend everyone!

Stay fit and healthy always,

WHAT MAKES GYMSPORTZ THE NO. 1 FITNESS BRAND IN SINGAPORE?

In our line of work, we often get compared to other online retailers and shopping platforms, in terms of quality, design and especially price. It is completely normal because, as customers ourselves, when we shop, we tend to compare prices too and it is human nature to gravitate towards something that is priced lower. However, what if the items you are comparing are not exactly the same? It may look the same from the surface especially if you are just looking at photos of the product on your screen, it is almost impossible to tell the difference sometimes. 

 

 

 

 

HOTTEST FITNESS TRENDS - Gymsportz

HOTTEST FITNESS TRENDS

This year has been a pretty strange year for all of us. So much has happened in terms of how much our lives have changed, yet strangely enough, it made us realize what we really need to survive. While fitness has been trending in Singapore for quite a number of years now, and it spiked further during Singapore’s lockdown. Suddenly, everyone had more time on their hands and wanted to do something for themselves. You know the thing about Singaporeans? They can never sit still for a moment. We are always striving to improve ourselves, in one way or another. Rushing to try that new cafe that just opened, queue up for that latest sneaker than just launched, camping for the launch of the latest gadget. It is no wonder that there was a rush to purchase home gym equipment during the lockdown, proving yet again, that Singaporeans need to utilize their spare time well.
