Forget The Gym - Just Move More Often
2008-04-28 04:59:00
When it comes to the time to burn off some calories, most people think of heading to the gym. But do you know that the so called "free" (meaning no need to pay for a fee) exercises such as doing houseworks can also help to burn off that FAT?Many fitness experts now believe that the simplest and most sustainable way to keep fit is what known as an "integrative exercise" - it simply means just "move around more often". A Britain's chief medical officer advises that one should exercise to raise the heart rate for 30 minutes five times a week.Here are three ways to achieve the necessary exercises without heading to the gym:Break it down. You don't have to do 30 minutes all in one go. Studies show that several five to ten minute bursts of activity throughout a day will improve your cardiovascular and respiratory health, lower the risk of diabetes and other diseases.Doing your houseworks more often. Vigorous housework or gardening or brisk walking all count when it comes to integrative ...

3 Amazing Flat Belly Exercises That Most People Don't Know About
2008-04-28 04:31:00
If you want to discover 3 flat belly exercises which can shape your abdominal muscles and additional body regions simultaneously, then you've found the right article. Because among the most effective ways to form the abdominal muscles is to perform resistance training of separate body parts with workouts which work on the abdomen indirectly.What do I mean by working the stomach indirectly? With each exercise, you have the primary muscles and you have supporting muscles. E.g., when you do press-ups, you are more often than not working your pectoral muscle, yet your shoulder muscles and triceps act as supporting muscles and also get pumped up. The stomach acts as a supporting muscle for numerous exercises. Doing these exercises means that you are flattening out your stomach simultaneously whilst you're working other body parts. And it is frequently more efficient than doing conventional stomach exercises.Here are 3 workouts for a flat stomach which I recommend you start doing now:1....

How to Get Rid of Belly Fat
2008-04-16 04:57:00
Bugged by Belly Fat? Then Read This!By Craig Ballantyne.I often get asked, "What's the best way to burn fat and lose my belly?... Do aerobics work better than interval training?... Does resistance training help at all?"Many personal trainers aren't even sure. They will guess that the best way to lose belly fat is "crunches", "sit-ups", or "aerobic cardio". But the truth is -- none of these works best -- or even works at all!When it comes to exercise, if you want to lose stomach fat fast, you need to increase the intensity of your workout by using both resistance training and interval training.Australian researchers, such as Professor Steve Boucher, even believe that interval training can lead to a spot reduction of belly fat. That's something that no amount of abdominal training can do!Time is also a factor. While bodybuilders and young guys without any cares in the world can spend an hour a day on cardio -- and sometimes get results -- men and women who only have 45 minutes, 3 t...

Benefits of Aerobic Exercise
2008-04-15 04:59:00
Aerobic Exercise Keeps You YoungBritish study found it shaved 10 to 12 years off biological age.A person who maintains aerobic fitness may delay biological aging by up to 12 years, a new analysis shows.Jogging and other types of aerobic exercise improve the body's oxygen consumption and its use in generating energy (metabolism). However, a steady decline in maximal aerobic power begins in middle age, decreasing about 5 ml/ (kg. min) every decade, according to the information in the analysis.When maximal aerobic power falls below about 18 ml in men and 15 ml in women, it becomes difficult to do any activity without experiencing major fatigue. A typical 60-year-old sedentary man has a maximal aerobic power of about 25 ml, nearly half of what it was at age 20.But research shows that a long period of relatively high-intensity aerobic exercise can increase maximal aerobic power by 25 percent (about 6 ml), which equals 10 to 12 biological years.The analysis was published online in the Br...

6 Secrets To Mass Building Workouts And Tips On How To Gain Mass
2008-04-11 07:02:00
Attention all bodybuilders, I would like to share some mass building workouts secrets and tips on how to gain mass with you. They have been extremely convenient and "worth it" to me, so I thought they would help you too. Let’s start with your workouts:1. Don't pick a weight you are able to lift for more than ten reps, or less than five reps. Lift within 75 percent to 95 percent of your one rep max.2. When you lift for mass, make 70 percent (approximately) of your lifts powerful and explosive. Meanwhile, the other 30 percent should be alot slower and more controlled.3. Not including warm-ups, your total work volume should not be less than 50 reps, but no bigger than 80 reps.4. In order to control the devastating effects that "lactic acid" has on your strength, you should make sure you are always alternating opposing muscle group exercises.5. On your last warm-up set, there should be 5 percent more weight than you will be lifting for your sets, it should be one explosive rep. (This...

Burn More Calories With Interval Training
2008-04-04 06:03:00
The basic weight loss nuts and bolts behind cardiovascular exercise (or any kind of exercise, really) is, as you know, a matter of catabolism.Essentially, if you can engineer your body to require more energy, your body will comply by breaking cells down to deliver it; and that process (metabolism) burns calories. Simple, right?So based on that logic, something called interval training neatly fits in with the overall plan. Interval training is simply a adding high-energy burning component to your exercise plan on an infrequent, or interval, basis.For example, you may be at a stage where you can jog for 20 minutes every other day, and thus put your heart into a cardiovascular zone during this time.This, obviously, is going to help you boost your metabolism and thus burn calories/energy. Yet you can actually burn disproportionately more calories if, during that 20 minute jog, you add a 30 second or 1 minute sprint.Why? Because during this 30 seconds or 1 minute, you give your body ...

High Reps Build Muscle Big Time!
2008-04-02 14:35:00
If you were to ask a million bodybuilders / weight trainers, or read thousands of "muscle building" articles, or picked up almost every book ever written on the quickest way for natural trainers to gain weight fast (quality weight, of course), 99% of them will tell you that lower repetitions during sets, 10 reps or less, will build more muscle mass than any weight training program that requires you to use higher reps.This philosophy has been around for decades, and , has lead to the undeniable truth that lower reps are not the best way to build muscle without the use of anabolic steroids. If it were, then why don't we see millions more of "muscle heads" walking around in every day life? There are millions and millions of individuals that are very dedicated to their workouts, yet most have nothing to really show for it. Sure, they may be getting stronger, but they aren't getting bigger in size.....and there's a huge difference between the two.Unlike what most think and say, the tw...

How To Stay Motivated During Your Exercise Journey
2008-03-30 16:13:00
I think we can all agree that the hard part with exercising is staying motivated. I totally understand and I go through this every so often. I try to remind myself by following a few simple rules that allow me to keep on track of my goals so I can continue to be encouraged with my exercising. Some of them start with short term goals or taking baby steps. As you begin to approach these smaller goals or accomplish them, you will build confidence. You will then become motivated since accomplishing anything is very rewarding. By knowing how much time and effort you've invested feels great when you begin to see results. So, let me discuss the rest of the points on how you can stay motivated.1. Write down your short and long term goals. Next, acknowledge it by saying it to yourself or someone close to you such as a friend or spouse. By admitting it, you have taken action in implementing these goals. We tend to think about our goals in our mind but it was just a thought that passed by us ...

Physical Fitness Assessment Questionnaire
2008-03-30 05:38:00
Brad King and Dr. Michael Schmidt in “Bio Age, Ten Steps to a Younger You” (Macmillan, Canada, 2001) have devised a questionnaire for assessing physical damage to a body as a result of no exercise. We will borrow some of their guidelines, which we will summarize here:Start with the question, “How do I look?” Do any of these answers apply to you?Am I overweight, looking like an apple or pear?Do I have a spare tire around my waist?Has my skin become excessively dry, almost paper-thin?Next, ask: “How do I feel?”Do my joints hurt before or after any physical exertion?Am I constantly worried and anxious?Do I feel tired and sluggish most of the time?Do I suffer from mood swings?Last question, “How am I doing?”Are simple walking and climbing stairs difficult?Do I have problems concentrating?Is running impossible for me now?Am I unable to sit straight, preferring to slouch or stoop my shoulders?You’ve completed your basic assessment. Note, however, that other exercise or...

Regular Cardio Exercise Can Help Reduce Stress
2008-03-23 06:08:00
In general, regular exercise such as cardio or resistance training can help ease your stress. However, further study need to be done to look at the intensity and duration needed for strength training to achieve the similar results as cardio.Researchers in the University of Missouri-Columbia conducted a study by measuring the stress levels of a group of women who either didn't exercise or exercised at moderate or high-intensity levels for 33 minutes. The results shown that high-intensity aerobic exercise can significantly alleviate stress.People can get addicted to cardio exercise more easily because it's a lot easier to get start with cardio. For example, people don't have to learn how to run. On the other hand, strength training needs supervision on how to get started.Also, cardio exercise requires less focus and your mind can wander and unwind when you're running or jogging. But for weight training, you need to concentrate on the techniques.

Treadmill With TV - What To Know Before You Buy
2008-03-21 13:05:00
Looking for a treadmill with TV? If you’ve been to a health club lately, you’ve probably seen the latest rage in treadmills - built-in TVs.The demand for treadmills with TVs is skyrocketing and the good news is that you don’t have to pay a commercial treadmill price just to get a built in TV.However, there are some things you should be aware of before you go looking for a treadmill with built in TV.There are 2 main types of TV treadmills. The first has a television built directly into the console. The second has a TV attached separately to the console that sits above it (more in line with your eyes).The first version of treadmills usually have smaller screens (around 7-12 inches) and are the more affordable options (these treadmills can range from $1000 - $1500).The second version comes with larger screens (around 15 inches) and are similar to the design you see in health club treadmills. They are usually more expensive ($2500+) and harder to find in a home treadmill - but the...

Why Cardio Doesn't Work for Fat Loss
2008-03-11 22:29:00
Why Cardio Doesn't Work for Fat Loss By: Craig Ballantyne, CSCS, MSwww.TurbulenceTraining.comFor some people, cardio doesn't work, and in fact can make them gain weight. Find out why here...Cardio exercise is such a strange thing. In theory, it should work so perfectly well for all men and women, but as anyone who has tried it knows, the practicality of it just doesn't add up.After all, some men and women do cardio 6 hours, 9 hours, or more per week, and still have belly fat to burn. On the other hand, it works just fine for others.British researchers wanted to get more insight into this paradox, and studied 35 overweight men and women, who weren't previously exercising.(Reference: International Journal of Obesity 32: 177-184, 2008).Subjects exercised 5 times per week for 12 weeks. That's a lot of exercise, but it helped the subjects lose an average of 8.2 pounds, which is great - I was positively surprised by the results.So cardio will work for some people, however, in my expe...

Avoid Weight Training Injuries
2008-03-06 05:35:00
Although there are many sites that claim that they will show you weight training exercises online, in reality this is not the way to go. If you want to start a weight training exercise program, you really need to be working with someone else. There are many options available. You can go to the gym, use free weights at home with a buddy, or get one of those machines, but if you do not do your weight training exercise with proper safety precautions, it is quite possible for you to get seriously injured.I recommend doing your weight training exercise at the gym. There are several good reasons for this, and I will go ahead and tell you some of the very best ones. First of all, you can get a spot at the gym. Of all of the weight training exercise injuries, most of them could have been avoided with a proper spotter. This is especially true with free weights which can injure or even kill you if you are forced to drop them because of muscle fatigue. This is the most important reason to go t...

Fitness And Nutrition Tips

We’ve all heard it before...In order to be healthy, we must eat plenty of fruits and vegetables and exercise regularly. It’s become the mantra of fitness buffs everywhere, and is touted so often that many of us have become deaf to the words.

When we're still young, it may seem unnecessary to worry about poor nutrition and sedentary lifestyle, but by the time we hit middle age, we will begin to concern ourselves with things like cholesterol, high blood pressure and other health risk factors.Get Moving...The first part of the fitness/nutrition combination consists of daily physical movement. This can be in the form of walking, jogging, swimming or cycling. It can also mean using a piece of cardiovascular equipment at the local fi...

Understanding Metabolism and Weight Loss
2008-03-01 12:19:00
Perhaps you already have a sense of how metabolism relates to weight loss (catabolic metabolism, or breaking cells down and transforming them into energy). To understand this process even more clearly, let's introduce a very important player in the weight loss game: the calorie.Calories are simply units of measure. They aren’t actually things in and of themselves; they are labels for other things, just like how an inch really isn’t anything, but it measures the distance between two points.So what do calories measure? Well, they measure energy.The body itself, despite its vast intelligence (much of which medical science cannot yet understand, only appreciate in awe) does not really do a very intelligent job of distinguishing good energy from bad. Actually, to be blunt, the body doesn’t care about where the energy comes from. Let’s explore this a little more, because it’s very important to the overall understanding of how to boost your metabolism, particularly when we ...

Bodybuilding Vitamins: An Alternative Supplement For Bodybuilding

There are different types of bodybuilding supplements. One example is vitamins. Vitamins are commonly taken to boost metabolic reaction in one’s system. Research shows that about 90% of Americans are not getting the proper nutrition from the foods they consume, hence the need for vitamins.Vitamins are also needed in bodybuilding since you need to supply the lost energy that your body has exerted during rigorous training.

Ab Training Myth: Sit Ups For Great Abs
2008-02-25 12:31:00
Contrary to everything that we have heard over the years, you will find that sit ups are not going to help you get leaner abs. In fact, sit ups are more or less redundant when you really go to look at things.What do I mean? After all, aren’t ab crunches the same thing as sit ups? The answer to that would have to be a resounding, NO! Ab crunches although similar to sit ups, are not the same thing.On the face of it the principle is the same; it’s only when you go deeper that you see the difference. To begin with sit ups require you to come fully upwards towards your knees, whereas crunches only require you to lift a few inches off the ground.The difference lies in this fact; and the redundancy of sit ups lies in the fact that going beyond a certain point, that is, raising your upper body up off the floor beyond a certain point does nothing for your abdominal muscles, and in some instances, if this is not done properly the sit up will work your hip muscles or strain your back and ...

Four Fat Burning Strategies That Work
2008-01-09 09:39:00
Here are 4 fat burning strategies I learned from Turbulence Training that work...Strategy #1 - Green Tea & AlmondsTo prevent you from eating too much at a party, one of the most common tips you'll hear is to eat a little snacks before you go out. Unfortunately, this tip doesn't work for many people. Many still go to a party and end up eating too much.Recently I discovered that having a cup of Green Tea and one ounce of almonds will help you to avoid the cravings at the party better than anything I've ever tried before. The fiber from the almonds reduces appetite while the small amount of caffeine from the Green Tea increases your mental alertness and keep you energized at the party. It's a great combination! Try it and see if it works for you...Strategy #2 - Focus on good Nutrition and don't waste time on any fancy cardio programs.Here are some nutrition tips:Focus on portion control.Avoid calorie drinks or beverages.

3 Top Metabolism Myths
2008-01-01 06:48:00
There are a number of misconceptions about metabolism and calorie burning. Here are the top 3 myths ...Myth 1: Cardio workouts are the best activities for increasing metabolic rate.FACT: Running for 30 minutes will burn more calories than 30 minutes of weight training workout. However, weight training can maintain metabolism for longer period of time because it builds your muscle mass. As many studies and researches had shown that if your body has more muscle, you will have higher metabolism also.Myth 2: Thin people can burn calories faster because they have a fater metabolic rate.FACT: If you have a bigger body size, your body will burn more calories than a slimmer because you need more energy to move extra pounds in your body.Myth 3: You will get fatter as you get older.FACT: Although it's true that our metabolism will get slower as we age. However, this natural change of metabolic rate is very small, only about 4 percent per decade if we continue to exercise regularly. The reaso...
