WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF PROBIOTICS FOR MEN?

What Are The Benefits of Probiotics For Men?

We hear so much about probiotics and healthy eating, but do you have any idea what probiotics are, and why you should be taking them?

The health and wellness industry is always introducing new products onto the market, but probiotics have certainly stuck around for a good few years now. There is a good reason for that - probiotics have been proven to have a range of benefits for overall health and wellness, especially for the gut. Of course, further studies will need to continue, in order to ascertain whether there are any possible side effects, and the extent of the benefits too.

For now however, we simply know that probiotics are beneficial, but what are they?

Probiotics are actually bacteria and yeasts. Whilst that might sound troubling, it’s actually a good thing! Probiotics are healthy bacteria. Your body needs both good and bad bacteria to create a natural, harmonious balance. The good bacteria helps to stop the bad bacteria from running riot and causing disturbances, and also ensures smooth running of your overall digestive system.

As a man, why should you consider taking these healthy bacteria as part of your daily routine? Let’s check out some of the benefits of probiotics for men.

Probiotics Help to Treat And Prevent Diarrhoea, Caused by Antibiotics

If you are prescribed antibiotics by your doctor, you are at risk of developing diarrhoea, caused by that medication. Probiotics can help to prevent this from occurring in the first place, if you’ve been taking supplements for a while already, and can treat it if you’ve suddenly developed it. We all know how annoying and inconvenient diarrhoea can be!

Probiotics Help to Lower Cholesterol Levels

Do you have an unhealthy diet? Or, do you have a family history of heart issues and high cholesterol? According to Staci Gulbin RD, probiotics could help to lower your cholesterol levels, and therefore lower your risk of developing serious heart-related conditions in the future. Of course, you’ll need to take probiotics in conjunction with a healthy diet too.

Probiotics May Help to Reduce Anxiety And Depression

There is some suggestion that taking a regular probiotic supplement could lower your risk of developing anxiety and depression, and could also help to reduce the effects if you do suffer with it already. There are two main strains which are associated with this benefit, namely B. Longum, and Helveticus.

Probiotics Help With a Variety of Digestive System Conditions

The stressful and busy lives we lead these days can cause stomach upsets and conditions, such as diverticular disease and IBS (irritable bowel syndrome). If you suffer from a gut issue, taking a regular probiotic could help to relieve your symptoms and cut down on the chances of a flare up from occurring. Soothing IBS symptoms is one of the most well-known benefits of probiotics overall.

Probiotics Boost Your Immune System

Giving your good bacteria amount a boost means a better immune systems. Studies have shown that those two take a regular probiotic supplement, or those who get a good amount of natural probiotics in their diet, fall foul of the common cold much less frequently as a result. This is useful for anyone who seems to be prone to catching every virus doing the rounds during the winter months, for sure!

Probiotics May Help You Lose Belly Fat

There are certain probiotic strains which are thought to help with weight loss, particularly around the belly area. L. Gasseri is one of those strains, as well as B. Lactis too. Obviously this needs to be taken in conjunction with a healthy diet and regular exercise, but the probiotic supplement could help you to target where you want to lose the weight from, more effectively than otherwise.

Probiotics Help to Cut Down on Ulcer Development

There is one particular type of bad bacteria which has been considered conductive to ulcer development, i.e. Helicobacter Pylori. By taking a regular probiotic, you are giving your body more of the good bacteria to fight this strain, and several studies have shown that by doing this, you reduce the chances of a H. Pylori infection, and therefore cut down your chances of developing an ulcer, when you lead a healthy lifestyle overall.

Probiotics Help With Gut Health Overall

Overall, probiotics are beneficial for your gut, and this ensures that you have less stomach upsets and more regular days when you don’t have bloating, excess gas, or any other gastric disturbances which cause upset and distress. Again, we live busy and stressful lives and all of this can contribute to a lifestyle of grabbing the quickest meal possible at the end of the day, perhaps not chewing your food enough and causing indigestion. When you follow a healthy diet and lifestyle and incorporate probiotics into it, you will find that your gut health is optimum as a result.

By choosing to incorporate probiotics into your life, you need to decide whether to go down the natural route, i.e. within your diet, or by taking a supplement. You won’t struggle to find a wide range of different supplements on the market, with tablets, capsules, and yoghurt drinks available. If you choose to up your probiotics content in your diet, you need to focus your attention towards live yoghurt, kefir, sauerkraut, kale, fermented foods, kombucha, miso, dark chocolate, traditional buttermilk, and other foods which are known to be high in natural probiotic content.

Many people find it difficult to get their full amount of probiotics from diet alone, which is why supplements are so popular these days. Remember to show around for the best supplement for you, and to always seek the advice of your doctor before you start taking any new kind of supplement, which you haven’t taken before. There isn’t a lot of evidence to suggest major side effects of probiotics, but at the same time, not a huge amount of studies have been done into this either. A quick chat with your doctor will give you the information you need, to be able to decide whether probiotics are the best choice for you or not.

GRAB YOUR FORK AND KNIFE WITH JORDAN ANDINO

This month, we focused on foods and festive gathering as we begin to head into the holiday season. Our Nov cover is graced by Celebrity Chef and Owner of FlipSigi, The Original Filipino Taqueria, Jordan Andino. In addition to running his two fast casual restaurants on the UES as well as in its flagship, West Village location - Jordan is a man on the move! He has been named Zagat's 30 Hottest Chefs Under 30; was noted as one of People Magazine's Sexiest Chefs; he's hosting his second season of The Cooking Channel's Late Nite Eats; he has had numerous guest appearances on shows including: Chopped, Beat Bobby Flay, Rachel Ray, Worst Cooks in America and more. Jordan merges his world of chef, TV Personality and entrepreneur seamlessly.

We took some time out of his busy schedule (this week alone included a launch party for his pop up restaurant in Brooklyn and a dinner he is preparing in conjunction with James Beard) to talk about his career and of course to rock great menswear that is in line with his vibrant personality.

ATHLEISURE MAG: When did you know that you wanted to be a chef?

JORDAN ANDINO: I began cooking in kitchens since I was 9 years old with my father, as that was the best way for me to be able to hang out with him as he was always there since he was a professional chef. I remember one day when I was around 12 standing next to him and he was a man of few words, but he pointed out the other people in the kitchen that were in their 20’s and 30’s and he said, “Jordan, you are better then any of them!” I was taken aback but it really stuck with me when he said that. That's when I knew that this is what I wanted to do!

AM: Tell us about your culinary journey and what chefs/restaurants you were a part of as you made your way to launching your own restaurant.

JA: I was really fortunate to learn the business and techniques from my father. One of the chefs that my dad trained eventually went on to Jean Georges. Because of my connections there, I was able to work there and then go on to Spago with Wolfgang Puck at Spago in LA. I also went on to work with Thomas Keller at French Laundry in Napa.

AM: How would you define your style of cooking?

JA: I would say that my cooking style is Mediterranean with a French influence for sure.

AM: Tell us about FlipSigi. When it opened what was your vision behind this restaurant?

JA: I really wanted to introduce Filipino food to NYers via my grandmother’s recipes and give them tastes of the food that I love and keeping it familiar by including it in burgers, burritos and rice bowls. I wanted to bring my personality into the restaurants by being able to having fun energetic music, a vibrant mural and a high energy personality. I really wanted to kick off our first location in the West Village to show that this style of food would do well here and that's what I set out to do!

AM: Are there differences between Flip Sigi in the West Village and the one on the UES and is there a meaning behind the name?

JA: Nope the menus and the experience is the same at both locations. Well, it’s pretty simple, Flip is slang for Filipino and Sigi means ‘Go,’ so essentially it means Go Filipino.

AM: We know that you are opening up a new restaurant that will be a pop up. Tell us about this and how long will the pop up be?

JA: I’m pretty excited about our pop up that is at The Royal Palms Shuffle Board Club in Brooklyn. We have been open for about a week and we will run through the middle of Jan.

AM: What is the hope for this pop up?

JA: Well hopefully they like the pop up and we can continue to be there!

AM: How did Late Nite Eats come about and what is it about this show that drew you in to being a part of it as you are currently in your second season.

JA: I remember when I was talking with the executives at the network and we were throwing around ideas of doing a show. I knew I wanted to do a show where I could travel and introduce people to bars and their menus.

About two months later, I got a call and they were like, "do you want to host a show that focuses on bars/restaurants in the late night scene?"

I have been able to travel all over the US doing this show and being able to see whats out there and what's trending which is fantastic.

AM: Are you part of the cannabis cooking movement?

JA: I am really intrigued by it and interestingly enough, my business partners and I have been talking about it as I think that it is the next movement in terms of the culinary world.

AM: What is your style with that in terms of flavors and effects in savory and sweet specialties and will this be something that you will bring into your restaurants?

JA: Well I am still in the R&D phase and that's why I am excited about planning the menu and participating in this dinner tomorrow for James Beard. It's a great way for me to learn and try out! Since I'm still in R&D at this point, there are still a lot of legalities to figure out.

AM: We loved hanging out with you on the shoot, seeing you pop into the kitchen to make a few dishes and bringing out your inner model – you also have a great personality as evidenced by seeing you on shows like Keeping Up with the Kardashians, Beat Bobby Flay, judging on Chopped etc – how important is it to you to be able to share your brand on these shows?

JA: First and foremost, I am a chef and today, it’s important for me to be out there to be able to share who I am as well as to promote my restaurant. Being on a number of shows allows me to do that and being on Instagram and all those networks allows me to continue to amplify me to a wide audience. It’s definitely important in addition to everything else that I am doing.

AM: Tell us about your personal style as we know via your Instagram, you can definitely rock fun colors.

JA: What can I say, my personal style is vivacious, colorful and high energy and I love my clothing to reflect that vibe – I’m a pretty happy guy.

AM: With all the things that you have going on, we're struck by how humble you are.

JA: Well I'm appreciative of everything that I have. I love what I do and although I am driven and can be hard on myself, I am thankful for what I have been able to achieve.

I know what it is to work hard and to come from humble beginnings and to know what it takes in order to be successful!

AM: Where would we find you grabbing a bite/cocktail here in NYC, shopping and of course working out?

JA: I love to go out – when you think about having 21 meals in a week, I probably eat out for 20 of them! When I’m not in my restaurant and want to grab a drink, you’ll find me at dive bars - I love them! I love to exercise – I love running in Central Park when I can, I’m all about cardio and weights and work out about 5 times a week. I fucking love Equinox as it’s the best gym in the world! I also love to skate. A lot of times I skate from Flip Sigi’s UES location to my West Village location which is about 10 avenues over and about 100 streets down!

AM: With the New Year around the corner, what projects can you tell us about that will launch/be released next year that we should keep an eye out for or should we just keep an eye on your social to find out?

JA: I’m excited about a number of things coming up! In a few days I have a new merch line coming out under my brand Fork Knife which will include tumblers, hats, wallets etc that are in really fun vibrant colors and goes right along with my personality! I am working on a book and I am working on another show that will be coming out!

AM: What’s on heavy rotation on your playlist to cook, entertain, workout and about town?

JA: My music taste is fun and eclectic and is like what you would hear if you were in my restaurants! If you went through my playlist you'd see that I have: Drake, Miguel, Bill Withers - Ain't No Sunshine, Marvin Gaye - Ain't No Mountain High Enough, J. Lo - Ain't It Funny!

6 TIPS TO BECOME A BETTER GOLFER PLAYER IN NO TIME

Golf is more than just roaming and hitting on the course- it is counted among those few sports that demand serious effort and dedication. Unlike the status quo symbol of a "rich man's game" that it carries, golfing has a fan base comprising of all backgrounds. This is why every year more and more people test their lucks and spend hours on the course, perfecting their craft.

However, dedication might take you somewhere but in order to establish yourself as a true contender, you must exercise tips and tricks that are there in the game. Luckily for you, if you are just starting out,here are some tips that will help improve your game:

Learning the Right Alignments

How can you expect to hit the target without being in line with it? Consequently, when it comes to golf, what you need to do is assess your alignment before taking your stance. This practice is vital, especially in case you are trying to lower your handicap, and the most simple way of doing this involves taking in perspective the target and aligning the clubhead behind the ball in the same direction.

Avoiding Changing Stances Often

Changing your stance is probably the most common and criminal mistake as it does your game absolutely no good. For starters, you might believe that the length of the shot or the club you are using might require you to chance your stance but all these factors have no link to it. Therefore, keeping up a steady traditional stance and allowing room for minor adjustments can ensure maximum accuracy.

Gripping for the Right Shot

A harder grip won't ensure the ball will go flying to the flags, therefore don't give into that impulse. There are techniques that you can ensure have a solid grip rather than a stiff grip and those are what you need to consider while making a move. The best gripping technique involves the club being positioned in between the thumb and the index finger such that they form a "V" facing towards the right shoulder, and with both hands gripping the club at different points.

Understanding Speed

In order to make the right shots, you need to have the right speed. In order to ace your golf game, you need to have higher club head and ball speeds. This perfect speed combo will cover more distance for you, which means reaching the target in lesser shots. In order to understand the relation between speed and power, you must practice drills that will not only help increase your speed, but control it as well.

Use the Wind as an Ally

If you want to completely destroy your game points, then you might as well play against the wind. In order to achieve the desired distance, learn to use the wind as your ally. On those particularly windy days, make an easier swing instead of making a harder one, in order to make the most of downwind swinging. A pro-tip is to emphasize more on hitting the ball, rather than swinging it in order to delay your impact.

lastly..

Always Choose the Right Kind of Golf Club

You can use all the techniques, tips and tricks but none would help if your equipment is faulty or not appropriate. What golf club you think is the best one, might not do you any good on longer lengths. The right kind of golf club can only be determined with practice, but for a broader definition something that supports your personal shot tendencies, complies with the wind condition all while accommodating the lengths is good to go.

ATHLEISURE LIST | P.VOLVE

Steve Pasterino, Celebrity Fitness Trainer who is known for his work with Victoria's Secret models, is the founder of P.volve, a method that focuses on elongating the body. Steven's philosophy is steeped in the belief that fast and sweaty workouts were not resulting in making the naturally proportioned, lean bodies that women want. His method focuses on ensuring that women are able to obtain their desired tone and definition without straining, damaging or bulking muscles.

P.volve's fundamentals are about building strength through purposeful exercise. With a studio in NYC as well as the ability to take courses On Demand and two classes (Thigh Thursday
- activating glutes, hips and thighs by firming and trimming the thigh and butts by integrating the proprietary P.ball into the workout and P.Sculpt - a total body sculpting class. In addition
to reserving classes within a group, you can also have one-on-one personal classes).

The P.volve method is a low-impact, resistance based workout that is based in physical therapy. Classes integrate slow, controlled movements to emphasize muscles that are lengthened and strengthened. This is done in a way that protects the joints, increases range of motion and eliminates inflammation. In the studio, an array of equipment is used in addition to your own bodyweight. Those who take courses via streaming can do so without equipment. Although there are no showers available at the hardwood natural light studio,
there is storage for personal items (cubbies and coat racks), face/body wipes deodorant spray, hair dryers, dry shampoos and hairspray.

ARE THERE ANY RISKS TO COSMETIC SURGERY

Cosmetic surgery can be life-changing, and its effects go beyond physical. Most do it not only to look more attractive but also to raise self-esteem and gain social acceptance. Because plastic surgery is optional, many people only think about its benefits and believe that it’s a hundred percent safe. This is a misconception. Similar to any other medical procedure, it does have risks.

If you’re thinking about undergoing cosmetic surgery, being aware of the risks as well as the benefits will enable you to make a more informed decision on whether or not it’s the right step to take.

Poor surgery results

The worst thing you could experience is looking worse than you did before the surgery. This is unfortunate, but it does happen. In fact, some plastic surgeons are specialized in fixing botched procedures.

Cosmetic surgery has become a lucrative industry, and some individuals have taken advantage of the demand by passing themselves off as experts even if they are not properly trained and certified. The patients of these so-called specialists usually end up with bad results.

At the onset, make sure that the surgeon you choose has a board certification and has sufficient experience in the particular procedure that you want. Go to this site to learn more about the different kinds of cosmetic surgery procedures.

Scars

Scars develop when damaged skin begins to heal after surgery. What’s unpredictable is how much scarring will occur. Too much of it is unsightly and runs against to your goal of having surgery in the first place.

A skillful surgeon can minimize the appearance of scars, but cannot prevent them altogether. This is because scarring depends on various other factors such as age, genetic predisposition, and depth of incision.

If you’re prone to scarring, you can minimize it by:

● Avoiding alcohol and cigarettes. Alcohol is dehydrating, which is not good for the skin. Smoking, on the other hand, is a dangerous habit that hinders the healing process. Most doctors order their patients to quit smoking two weeks before the operation.

● Eating right. Eat lots of protein like chicken, beef, and dairy, which provides the building blocks for skin and muscle repair.

● Proper incision care. Take steps to ensure that your wound stays free from infection, which prevents it from closing up and prolongs recovery.

Excessive bleeding

Bleeding is normal after a medical procedure, but when it continues afterward, then it becomes an issue. Most cases of excessive bleeding occur due to certain medications. Hypertensive patients are also likely to experience this.

It’s best to consult with your physician first before seeing a cosmetic surgeon, especially if you’re taking maintenance drugs. Some of these may be blood-thinning, which increases the risk of bleeding.

Blot clots or hematoma

Blot clots are the body’s natural defense against bleeding when it’s injured; thus, you might notice some discoloration, swelling, and pain within the wounded area for a week after the surgery.

If the hematoma continues to swell, this might be a cause for concern. Blood circulation in the wound area is likely hindered, cutting oxygen supply. This will lead to inflammation and numbness, and even skin death if left untreated.

Another dangerous consequence of hematoma is when a clot reenters the bloodstream and blocks a vital artery in the lungs and heart. In this case, you will need immediate medical attention.

The risk of forming blood clots is low, but you can still benefit from it by applying these post-surgery preventive measures:

● Drink eight glasses of water every day. This will keep you adequately hydrated so that your blood platelets are less likely to clump together and start clotting.

● When lying down, prop your lower extremities with pillows to elevate them at a level above the heart. The reason for doing this is to stimulate blood flow all over the body.

● Don’t stay in a single position for too long. Doing so can cause blood to collect at the ankles, where clots can form. Even if you’re experiencing post-surgery tiredness, try to move around after the operation.

Reactions to anesthesia

Anesthesia-related issues are rare but are severe when they occur. Sometimes, they can even result in patient’s death. Risks from anesthesia include allergic reactions, respiratory problems, coma, and cardiac arrest. Some patients feel nauseous as an after-effect of anesthetics.

Even if these issues have very minimal chances of occuring, you should take steps to avoid them.

● If the procedure requires you to have general anesthesia, make sure that the anesthesiologist handling your care is board certified.

● Talk to the surgeon and anesthesiologist about your medical history so that adjustments can be made on protocols and medicines. If you are requested to stop using a drug or a product, you have to comply for the sake of your health and safety.

● Quit smoking since it raises surgical risks.

● Adhere to any post-surgery instructions that your doctor recommends.

Going through cosmetic surgery is a big decision, and its results can affect you for the rest of your life. It has rewards, but there are also risks. Do your research and consider all the pros and cons carefully. Being an informed patient helps ensure that you get some gain from the pain.

WHICH MATERIAL IS BEST SUITED FOR INTERNAL DOORS OF YOUR HOME?

Doors make a huge statement in your home. It is really important to choose the right door which matches your vision to make the right impression. The material you want for your interior door affects the overall privacy, durability, and style of the home. There are many interior doors which possess different materials, configurations, and styles. If you have an insight into the pros and cons of each material, it will help you in choosing the right one.

Stainless Steel

Stainless steel is undoubtedly best for both exterior and interior applications. It has a natural resistance to corrosion, which makes it great for high salt and chemical applications. It is also not prone to rust and needs to be disinfected. Although it is an expensive material for the doors, it is still preferred in many restaurants.

There is only one downside to stainless steel that it is limited in designs and not very well insulated.

Wood

Wood is the material that forms the most beautiful doors with endless design and finishes options. It also has inherent properties which prevent it from conducting heat and cold. It is used to make all sorts of varying from the latest variations to evergreen style of doors like Victorian and Georgian doors. Online Door Store comprises of a huge variety of such doors in different lavish designs, sizes, and styles. However, wood doesn’t do well in changing weather conditions. That’s why it is not recommended for exterior applications.

Metal

Metal is a very durable material which is made by cold rolling steel. It can stand by the test of time. This kind of material is highly recommended for the places where products are being moved in and out continuously.

The downside it has is the lack of insulation which allows cold and heat to escape. However, you can have a paint coating on it to keep the rust aside. It is also limited in finish and designs. And you can’t disinfect it; otherwise, you will harm the finish during the process.

Fibre Glass

Unlike metal and stainless steel, it has different design options. You can even get fibreglass doors which look like wood doors. Moreover, like stainless steel doors, fibreglass doors can easily withstand harsh environments and chemicals.

It is not as durable as stainless steel is which is a turn-off for the buyers. Also, the disinfection can cause damage to the finish.

Laminate

It is quite a durable material which makes laminated doors last for a longer period. All it takes is to manufacture and install the doors properly. Moreover, it offers a huge variety of exuberant designs at very affordable prices. It is also easy to disinfect and clean.

However, there is a downside to it. For instance, if it is not manufactured properly, it can end up causing cracking, peeling, and chipping.

After having a clearer view of different materials, it might be easy for you now to decide that which one is the best door material for your home.

ATHLEISURE LIST | CHAISEFITNESS

Known for its innovative and body-redefining method, ChaiseFitness was designed and founded by mother-daughter duo Lauren Piskin, a former gold medalist figure skater, and Rachel Piskin, a former ballerina with the New York City Ballet. Their energy and decades of professional experience is the driving force behind the unique hybrid workouts at ChaiseFitness, which blends the sculpting and strengthening methods of Pilates, ballet, cardio and strength training. As a long-time professional Pilates instructor, Lauren always wanted to “get Pilates off of its back and bring it into the modern upbeat vibe of New York City,” but it wasn’t until Rachel’s ballet career came to an end that she started developing a way to make that happen. Rachel was struggling to maintain the healthy lifestyle she always had from dance, so she and Lauren began to experiment and create a new type of workout that eventually gave her an even stronger and healthier physique. ChaiseFitness and the Reinvention Method were born from Lauren’s professional experience was refined by Rachel’s personal journey to help everyone create long lean muscles, increase flexibility, and transform their bodies.

What makes ChaiseFitness stand out is the unique patented system designed with an overhead bungee system and a state-of-the-art fitness chair. This system provides the framework in which new programming is continually developed (right now there are 10 types of classes) fusing together Pilates, ballet, strength training and aerobics. Focusing on building long, lean, and sculpted muscles, clients improve their posture, spinal health, core stability and strength due to the overhead bungee system and use of resistance bands. ChaiseFitness is still a family business, that lends itself in creating a strong sense of community, which is why it is important that it always has small class sizes to ensure all clients get hands on corrections, connect with the instructor, and most importantly learn how to work in proper form.

With celebs such as Vanessa Hudgens, supermodels Anne V and Jessica Hart who have been trained in the method, it is for everyone. The college student, the working professional, young moms as well as clients in their 60’s and 70’s. The method is low impact with a focus on building long, lean strong muscles, improved core strength, enhanced posture and spinal health. Classes can be done at all the different phases of one’s life: wedding, pregnancy, post natal, rehabbing an injury and of course, just the daily work out to keep you in amazing shape all year long.

ChaiseFitness launched in 2012 with locations in the UES and Flatiron. They expanded their franchise model in Madison, NJ and plan to open of a studio in Maplewood, NJ in early 2019.

At the Flatiron studio, all of the signature classes with intimate class sizes (max 12 per class) as well as private sessions. There are over 10 types of class offerings which include: Chaise Reinvention; a signature class incorporating the fitness chair and overhead bungee system, ChaiseCardio uses the same equipment with the addition of cardio aerobic intervals, and one of the most popular classes BandSculpt using various resistance bands to sculpt and strengthen the body. At the Upper East Side location you can still experience intimate group classes, and have a full traditional Pilates floor dedicated to offering private sessions and small reformer classes. Unique to the UES location is the ability to take private sessions in all the various modalities - an hour session can include working on a reformer, TRX, and wrap with the chair and bungee system.

Both locations offer clients towels, a filtered water station, digital lockers, and select hair and face products so guests can refresh post-sweat session.

In February 2018 Chaise On Demand's platform debuted. Clients can access all of the content through the desktop or the ChaiseFitness app, which offers pre-recorded fitness videos such as 7min ab blast or a 20 min full body chair workout. Clients also get access to live streamed studio classes. The content is updated monthly so clients are constantly challenging themselves from the convenience of their homes.

TIP: HIP THRUST FOR A STRONGER SQUAT

The hip thrust is by far the best exercise for an athlete who understands its benefits. But for the sake of the novices in exercises and the sports life, we will start by defining what hip thrust exercises are. They are exercises targeting the hip area, core, and glutes by actively moving these parts through one of many workouts. Some add weight as they move the hip area up and down while others do it without any weight. Doing it correctly has a number of benefits as confirmed by experienced fitness trainers and therapists.

A Word from the Experts

Most fitness enthusiasts and athletes from all over the world ignore this exercises since they are oblivious to what value it could add to their lives. But experts have something to tell them. If you want to prepare your body for the best squats, this is one set of workouts you should include in your exercise schedule.

Some research shows that people who were exposed to some form of hip thrust exercise a couple of times a week have better core strength, overall body balance, and power than those who do not. So from this, it is evident that experts confirm that hip thrusts make for better squats.

Hip Thrust Exercise with Increasing Intensity

It is always prudent to start small in fitness and grow the intensity of workouts as you get used to them. And that is the case with hip thrust exercises. If you find some exercises difficult, you can get motivation through reliable steroids at 120kgs.org. They have a wide variety of enhancement boosters that are legit. Here are easy ways of increasing hip thrust intensity for better squats:

● Increase the number of reps - All hop-thrust variations have some reps involved. You will notice that it is not possible to do many at the beginning of the exercises. However, you need to increase the reps after every week. Your ability to easily perform squats will also increase.

● Add more time - Hip thrusts are used as preparation for squats and other lower body exercises like leg presses. However, one can increase the duration of the exercise to get the most out of it.

● Add weight - Another wise way to make your core, hip, and glutes stronger is by gradually adding weight when doing hip thrusts. Some caution when doing this is to have a trainer or training buddy just in case things go wrong. It is better to prevent workout accidents and injuries than to treat them.

Relationship Between Hip Thrust and Squats

Squats have benefits to the lower body, especially the glutes and hamstrings. If you have a knee problem, this is the perfect solution. Heavy lifters add weights when doing squats to get the same effect as leg presses with a high-resistance force. But with all of these exercises, the hip and core areas play a major role of support. And this is where the hip thrusts come in to make this area strong and powerful. Those who put some work into hip thrusts can confirm that the fruits are incredible.

NATURALLY DREAMY AT VICTORIA'S SECRET WITH CHARLOTTE TILBURY

Each year, the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show stage comes alive with 60 models including Elsa Hosk, Martha Hunt, Lais Ribeiro, Adrianna Lima and more. Next month, these Angels, in NYC, will rock their wings by the lingerie brand and their glow will be courtesy of Celebrity Makeup Artist, Charlotte Tilbury and her covet worthy line as the official makeup partner for this year. We had a moment to find out more about the collection as well as how to get the glow as we get into the holiday season.

We caught up with Charlotte to find out about her approach to creating the makeup vision for this show with an angelic filter for the face to enhance what nature has given to you naturally. The show was infused with fresh glowing looks for the complexion, the ultimate dreamy eyes and of course, a supermodel glow.

ATHLEISURE MAG: What was the inspiration behind this year's show?

CHARLOTTE TILBURY: Darlings, I am beyond thrilled to share with you the official NATURAL, FRESH, GLAMOUROUS look I created for the Victoria’s Secret Show 2018! This look is all about enhancing the most beautiful, dreamy angel version of YOU. I designed the look to act like a glowing, angelic filter for the face and body, and to enhance what nature naturally blessed you with… so they can light up the runway and casts a spell on the world!

One of my inspirations for the look was inspired by the healthy, happy, naturally flawless beauty look of Gisele – she embodies that signature fresh, glowing ANGEL gorgeousness! I also wanted the makeup to channel that Victoria’s Secret feeling! Victoria’s Secret is all about pure fun, joy and abandon! It is a world of confidence, glamour, sexiness, power and magic that we all sail off to for the night! Whether you are watching it at home, or front row - everyone gets lost in the hypnotising allure of the angels! And this year we have such an inspiring group of women who light up the runway and people’s lives - 60 amazing women each with their own unique story, from over 20 different countries! It is so incredible to see so many sexy, brilliant women sharing the power of makeup with the world!

AM: How would you define the Natural, Fresh, Dreamy Goddess look for the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show this year?

CT: It’s an angelic filter to enhance what nature naturally gave you and make you feel like a beautiful, celestial angel… A look that lights up the runway and casts a magic makeup spell on the world! The skin is all about enhanced goddess skin, it’s natural and flawless at its best!

AM: Walk us through how we can achieve the Natural, Fresh, Dreamy Goddess look that will be in the show?

CT: I prepped the Angel’s skin with my Magic Skincare Trio for a healthy, lit-from-within glowing angel complexion:

1. First, I used my secret to supermodel skin, Instant Magic Dry Sheet Facial Mask, for a glowing radiant looking complexion. The genius ingredients including vitamin B3, crocus bulb extract, peptides, oils and butters penetrate deep in to the skin providing nourishing nutrients where skin needs it most.

2. I applied my award-winning Charlotte’s Magic Cream. An instant turnaround cream for the complexion that floods the skin with moisture and provides the most beautiful, glowing base for makeup. It is made up of oils and actives that feed the skin, Hyaluronic acid and peptides that give a plump-effect to the compleion, vitamin C and E that brighten and soothe the skin, and Frangipani and Aloe Vera. It's my secret to the ultimate runway glow! The cream is applied to model's skin using famous Angel Wing Motion Magic Skin Massage to wake up the complexion.

3. Next, I gently tapped my Magic Eye Rescue to revitalise the eye area. The time released retinol molecules in the formula resurface the skin around the eye to help your eyes appear younger and more radiant, hour-by-hour

The secret to flawless, poreless Angel skin:

4. I applied the ultimate glow primer, Wonderglow to the model’s skin. The primer is full of Hyaluronic Acid and has a genius fluorescent core that redirects light to more flattering angles of the face.

5. I buffed on my Light Wonder Foundation for a natural skin but better effect. I used a shade which was slightly warmer than their natural skin tone to give them a healthy glow.

6. For any areas which needed a little extra coverage, I applied my best-selling Magic Away Concealer to conceal any redness or blemishes, brighten darkness, smooth fine lines and hide the appearance of pores

7. Next, I applied my Hollywood Flawless Filter. With the versatility of a primer, the mega-watt glow of a highlighter, and the perfecting properties of your favourite digital filter it soft-focuses and instantly illuminates the Angel’s complexions.

A naturally killer contour and ethereal glow…

8. I wanted every Angel to have a natural contour and ethereal glow under the lights of the runway. I used my Filmstar Bronze & Glow palette to sculpt the appearance of the face and carve out killer cheekbones, add warmth to the complexion with the most natural bronze tones and give a celestial candlelight glow to the skin.

9. The glow was then amplified by using Charlotte’s ‘Diva Light’ Beauty Light Wand. The rose-gold highlighter gives a soft-focussed glow to the cheekbones that plays with the light beautifully.

10. To finish the complexion, I dusted my Airbrush Flawless Finish powder onto the T-area, soft focusing and blurring away any lines and imperfections and creating a soft micro-fine cashmere veil to the complexion.

The ultimate natural supermodel brow

11. To reveal the shape of the brows, I brushed them up using her magical Brow Lift tool and then used the soft pencil to fill in any gaps using upward strokes. I used Victoria’s Secret Brow or Never Clear Eyebrow Gel to fix the perfect supermodel brows.

The Supermodel exagger-eyes eye filter

12. To start, I curled the eyelashes for definition using my Life-Changing Lashes curler.

13. For the ultimate Supermodel eye, I brought back my sell-out sensation Exagger-Eyes Luxury Palette. Part of my Beauty Filters collection, the palette makes the eyes appear bigger and brighter just like an Instagram filter. Using a blender brush, I washed the enhance shade forwards and backwards across the eyelid like a windscreen wiper. The smoke shade was used along the lash line to add definition.

14. To enhance the Angel eye look, I used a second best-selling favourite Eyes to Mesmerise in Rose Gold. Using a smudger brush, I applied the metallic rose gold shade underneath the lower lash line to make the eyes naturally pop.

15. To elongate the eyes and create a seductive, sexy lifted shape I lined the eyes with an Angel Wing using my chocolatey powder pencil eyeliner in The Sofia.

16. For extra richness and depth, I applied my Colour Chameleon pencil in Amber Haze along the lash line.

17. To complete the Supermodel eye filter look, I used Victoria’s Secret Major Lash to give a dreamy Angel flutter in seconds!

Natural, pillowy, supermodel lips

18. For the supermodel lips that everyone wants, I started by re-shaping the lips with her iconic Lip Cheat lip liner in Pillow Talk. The best-selling lip liner loved by celebrities, supermodels, beauty editors and influencers all over the world mimics the natural shade of your lips and gives you the most pillowy pout.

19. I then applied Victoria’s Secret Velvet Matte Cream in Showstopper. A luscious Pillow-y pink matte that makes the lips look instantly fuller and wider.

20. I applied Collagen lip bath for a natural dewy veil of gloss on top of the Velvet Matte Cream.

Blush-bronze like an Angel

21. To create the look of a dewy, fresh, natural health to the complexion, I applied a combination of blush and bronze Beachsticks in Las Salinas and Ibiza. The soft, dreamy makeup sticks blend with the complexion for a natural looking sun-kissed blush effect.

The secret to a healthy glow from head to toe

22. As the finishing touch to this year’s look, I applied my glossy Supermodel Body. This product created glossy-skinned perfection in minutes. Applied down the centre of the limbs using the cooling roll applicator, it makes the skin look and feel firmer, toned and supple, so every model could stride down the famous runway with the confidence of an Angel.

AM: When creating the makeup look with this aesthetic in mind, how will it appear on the 60 models in the show?

CT: The natural, fresh glamorous look will be tailored to suit each individual Angel’s beauty, and to enhance their magnificent custom-designed outfits and those famous VS wings.
