Swimming as exercise – fitness, weight and health
Swimming as exercise is gentle, effective and suitable for most people – including those with overweight, osteoarthritis or after pregnancy. The buoyancy of water reduces the load on joints and the skeleton by up to 90%, making swimming a low-impact form of exercise that is very gentle on the body.
Barbell training for strength and muscle mass
Barbell training can be a simple and effective way to get started with strength training – whether you are a beginner or more experienced. With a few basic exercises, you train several major muscle groups and can adjust both weight and tempo after your daily form. Here you get practical advice on technique, common exercises, and how to train in a safe way.
Smartwatch training: A tech tool to support movement, health and weight loss
Smartwatches and fitness trackers have become a common way to support exercise and overall health. For many people, a smartwatch can help you become more aware of your movement, sleep and day to day habits. It also works as an extension of your smartphone, letting you see notifications, control music and use apps straight from your wrist. But how can you use a smartwatch in a way that actually feels helpful when it comes to exercise and weight loss?
Losing weight with home workouts – does it actually work?
For many people, working out at home feels like a more realistic way to get started than having to make it to the gym. When you can exercise on your own terms, in your own space, it lowers the barrier to getting going. And home workouts can be just as effective as training at the gym.
Strength training for weight loss – for results that last
Many people who want to lose weight focus mainly on food and cardio. But strength training during weight loss plays a key role in both your results and how your body feels in the long run. By building and maintaining muscle mass, you can boost fat burning, lower the risk of regaining weight, and support a stronger, more functional body.
Lose weight without exercise: a guide and your options
Many people think exercise is essential for losing weight. But at its core, weight is about energy balance. How much energy you take in compared to how much your body uses. That means it is possible to lose weight even if you are not exercising. At the same time, being active is one of the best things you can do for your long-term health.
