How do you find your chronotype and optimise your rest and activity times?

By knowing whether you are a bear, lion, wolf or dolphin, you will be able to be more in tune with yourself and organise your days better.
How do you train to reduce body fat?
According to the latest scientific studies, HIIT (split interval training) and muscle strengthening are two particularly effective
techniques for activating fat burning. Endurance training also has its place in a fitness programme, but sessions of more
than 30 to 40 minutes of moderate-intensity effort should be planned so that the body draws on fat stocks.
How can I live better and longer by exercising?
Exercise is a good way to stay fit. The latest studies suggest daily cardio activity and paying attention to walking speed
rather than step count to age well. In addition, strength and functional training exercises help maintain strength and
mobility.

How do I start training again after COVID-19?
After COVID-19 or a respiratory condition, resuming exercise should be done slowly, at least 7 days after the symptoms
have subsided. Start by working on your breathing and stretching. Then you can do moderate cardio activities. As soon as
you can do 30 minutes of endurance exercise without running out of breath, you can follow your usual programme every
other day and then continue as before.

What are the trends in the fitness world in 2022?
In 2022, athletes want to be autonomous in their practice more than ever. An ideal fitness journey integrates all aspects of

and anytime, preferably at home or outdoors. Connected, on-demand coaching and fitness equipment for home training
are key elements in meeting these requirements.
Is it dangerous to exercise if I have COVID-19?
