The yoga wheel  is a special exercise machine that helps to achieve flexibility and greater efficiency in performing many elements. It effectively helps with opening the lumbar and thoracic spine, stretching for the splits and balance exercises. By gently rolling over the body, this unique device tones certain muscle groups, making them more elastic.

Types of Yoga Wheels
Depending on the material, the wheels or blocks have different characteristics. As a rule, the exercise machine is made of 2 types of raw materials: wood and plastic. Their main differences are as follows:

The wooden wheel is environmentally friendly and has a greater weight compared to its analogue. Beech is often used for production. The product is well polished, and the outer side is covered with a cork coating, due to which the trainer does not leave snags and is comfortable to use.

Plastic yoga wheels have a wider range of colors and designs. On the outside, there is a special rubberized coating that makes the product stable and prevents slipping. Such devices differ favorably in the price segment.

Wheels vary in weight and size. The optimal circumference varies from 32 to 36 cm. The weight that the equipment can withstand is 100-150 kg. In these cases, the choice depends on the individual characteristics of your body. (For increased impact, there are yoga wheels with a massage coating).

What is intermittent fasting?
The fasting diet sounds threatening, but it is simply dividing a day or several days into 2 stages:

Fasting period: you do not eat for a period of time ranging from 12 to 48 hours ·
Eating window: You eat all your calories within a period of 8 to 24 hours.
These periods replace each other without a pause, that is, they follow one another immediately.

Fasting period - you can't get any calories. Only coffee (without sugar/cream), tea, water are allowed. It is advisable to drink more water, but not by force. Any amount of calories, even a tiny one, will ruin the whole point of the diet, since the body will get energy and stop adapting to temporary hunger. Therefore, do not violate this rule under any circumstances. The fasting period is called so for a reason.

Eating window – here you should eat your calorie norm. It doesn’t matter, deficit for weight loss, surplus for muscle mass gain or weight maintenance. In what format there are calories – it doesn’t matter. Someone has one big meal in the middle of the eating window, and someone eats 4-5 times medium meals during the eating window.
