Adding More Muscle to Your Fitness
2008-01-07 04:34:00
Give yourself a fair chance:No, don't switch off and skip this article because you have as much interest in weight-training as a bird-watcher has in cricket. If you have stayed with us so far, you would have realised that we have always seen fitness as a vital instrument that helps you discover yourself. And discovering oneself is an exciting life-long voyage. In this eternal adventure, you never know what little nugget of information or capsule of experience may come in handy in focusing more sharply into yourself.Take this friend of ours who has enrolled her ten-year-old daughter for every course imaginable-painting, tennis, singing, dancing, swimming, acting, elocution... the list is endless Do you think she is overdoing it? Not at all. You will realise why when you hear her wise reasoning: If I don't give my daughter every opportunity possible, how will she know whether she has an interest or talent in a particular field? she says, "By exposing her to as wide a range of activi...

Fitness - Losing Fat Weight and Practical Food Tips
2008-01-07 04:33:00
Losing fat-weight is not seen as a quick, easy process. That is because many people are misted into believing that if they diet, they will lose weight. They will, but it will not be fat-weight-loss but water-weight loss and lean-muscle-weight loss. Only aerobic exercise can build up your lean muscle mass and ensure fat-weight loss.And the best balance can be achieved and maintained by regular aerobic exercise and a fatless or low-fat diet with high-fibre content. Recently, it has been discovered that more oxygen is required to burn fat than burn carbohydrates. Which could explain why losing fat-weight is not easy. However, regular aerobic exercise combined with low-fat or fatless food does the trick.Food without fat? The image thrown up by this phrase is one of boring boiled vegetables. But our chapter on food will show you how you can turn out delicious meals without ghee, butter or oil. Meanwhile, here are a few pointers to convert your eating lifestyle from a fat-producing one to...

Fitness - Wait For Weight Loss
2008-01-07 04:30:00
As you continue to exercise, you may find that your weighing machine sticks stubbornly to one weight. For example, if you were 70 kg when you began exercising, you will still be 70 kg. Don't get disheartened. It does not mean that you are not losing fat. What it means is that your muscles are developing, they are getting stronger and becoming more efficient. It is a temporary but a long drawn-out phase. Your muscles are burning fat.But since they have grown in lean mass, they are now registering their weight on the scales. The good news is that 70 kg now includes healthy muscle weight, in place of fat weight. Take heart. The first indication of fat loss will not come from your weighing machine but your clothes. They won't be as tight as they were. That is because muscle mass is lean and healthy and takes less space than globules of fat. Your skin will also show signs of toning up - it will be more taut and have a healthy glow to it.For some inexplicable reason, almost everybody re...

Fitness Hell. Is that what my life has become?
2008-01-07 04:27:00
That's what my life has become - a fitness hell. Ever since my spouse started reading every health and fitness magazine he could get his hands on... cover to cover. Good grief, he even reads the ads.It started innocently enough. At the age of 38 my spouse has reached the age where any extra morsel magically metamorphoses into ye olde spare tyre. For some reason I assumed he wouldn't be sensitive about a little good natured joshing in regards to 'more of him to love' - as opposed to his help mate, who couldn't bear to admit that she was starting to buy her pantyhose one size larger and took the petite size from the grocer's shelf only when he was looking. Surprisingly, he was just as vulnerable to my mention of his 'love handles' - the difference that he didn't burst into tears.He decided that changing our eating habits and starting an exercise program was what we needed. I didn't see any point in changing our dietary patterns. After all, we ate plenty of fish and skinless ...

Getting Back on the Fitness Track after an Injury
2007-12-31 08:42:00
We all have been there. You're running along, 72 degrees and sunny and you're on your favorite, fresh trail. You glance up at the cloudless sky, grateful to be alive, and BAM! A huge rock crosses your path out of nowhere and you hit it and fall. Your ego is bruised, but worse yet your ankle is a mess. It hurts so badly you have to end your run right then and there and hobble back to your car. Then something else hits you: What if you can't run after this?Anyone who is used to exercising moderately or aggressively can understand the frustration of having an injury that prevents you from keeping up your normal routine. It is very important, however, to treat yourself gently in order to get back on track as quickly as possible without compromising your health.If you have suffered an injury such as a sprain, pulled muscle, or repetitive use injury, the first thing to do is apply the RICE principle. RICE is an acronym for rest, ice, compression and elevation. For example, if you twist...

Fitness - Know Yourself
2007-12-18 08:39:00
"You've not exercised unless you've exerted yourself to the point of sweating and panting." It was one of those careless, over-the-shoulder remarks thrown at a cocktail party by a self-possessed young woman. A petite teen-aged girl reacted with a dainty grimace which said, "No way! I'm not about to join the sweat brigade!" Another nodded knowingly. "How about dieting?" asked another, interestedly.It's unfortunate, but most people believe that at the end of a workout, you should be spewing perspiration, your -tongue should be hanging out, your legs should be trembling with exertion - and then only will you benefit from exercising. Rubbish! These myths are built up by those suffering from fitomania - an obsessive craze for fitness. Mixed with this craze is also the sense of importance they derive, the boost to their ego that they and only they can achieve such superhuman levels. They say it with such self-pride and utter confidence that it's no wonder that their listeners run a m...

Exercise bike equipment can be a great investment for improving your health and fitness. A good workout just makes you feel better and the right equipment is fun to use. Choose an exercise bike that feels right and you'll enjoy riding. Equipment that doesn't fit correctly or is in any way irritating will be a constant aggravation.ElectronicsExercise bikes come in several types and all kinds of price ranges. The electronics which include programmable ride simulations and video displays affects the price quite a bit. You can get built in heart rate monitors and many other electronic options.Upright or RecumbentAnother basic choice in bikes is whether you prefer an upright bike or a recumbent one. The recumbent bike puts you in a sitting position which minimizes the stress to the knees. But it's difficult to vary your position on a recumbent, so you're pretty well stuck in one spot. The upright bikes let you shift around some, but may stress the knees more. Plus the seat on an upri...

How To Make Exercising One Of The Highlights Of Your Week
2007-12-07 05:56:00
Exercise is one of those things that everyone knows that they should do, but hardly anyone does it. I mean, if I asked you about all the benefits of exercising, how many could you list?I bet you could come up with a quite a good list. So, if it is so good for you, the question is why don't you, and us as a society exercise more often?The answer comes down to how packed our lives already are. There's hardly enough time to fit in the things we already do, how could you be expected to squeeze anything else in? With work, family and friends taking a large chunk of our time, there really is hardly anything else left to give.So how can we possibly fit in an exercise plan, and stick to it?Many people think it is as simple as will power. You've heard the saying right: "where there's a will, there's a way." This is definitely a case of saying it being easier than doing it. You and I both know it is very easy to get very motivated and pumped up when you are first starting an exercise pro...

Swimming Secrets For Fitness
2007-12-01 05:41:00
Swimming is a fantastic cardio exercise. It is very easy on your joints, it works your whole body practically, it's fun, and you don't really get sweaty in the same way as jogging or working on a stair stepper.Plus, if you have a heated pool and are lucky enough to live a warm part of the country (like Southern California) you can experience the benefits of swimming year round. Unfortunately, even swimmers who are experienced with the classic front stroke swim with bad technique, which cheats them out of some of the benefits.Here we will give you a few tips to improve your form and speed in the pool.The first thing you should pay attention to is body position. Since water is much more dense than water, how streamlined your body is will have a big impact on your speed. While swimming, make sure to keep your lower body lifted up by tightening your abs.When you actually perform the stroke, don't slap the water with your hand. Your hands should slice into the water at an angle. Once ...

Five reasons to improve your Fitness Levels
2007-12-01 05:40:00
Many people participate in exercise programs to improve their fitness levels. If you are one of these people you will begin to realise a number of benefits as your fitness levels improve. In this article I discuss five of these benefits that are associated with high physical fitness levels.1) INCREASED ENERGY LEVELS:- When you exercise your heart works harder to pump the blood through your body. As you continue to exercise the strength of your heart increases and it can pump more blood throughout your body, providing more energy to muscles where it is needed. Your other muscles also have to work harder as you exercise and this increases their stamina levels. The overall impact is improved energy levels for you.2) IMPROVED APPEARANCE:- Regular exercise will improve the way your body looks, even if this was not your original aim. By doing the exercises you will burn fat and tone your muscles. Even if your fitness program focuses on specific areas of your body, you will notice improvem...

Fitness, Health And Why "We" Need A Rowing Machine
2007-11-09 06:39:00
"We" have just bought a rowing machine. It's one of these big fancy ones you find in a gym. My husband decided "we" needed one as he watched me struggle into my jeans.Anyway I bid for a second hand rowing machine on e-bay and was frustratingly out bid in the last 40 seconds. However, the women who actually won the thing, decided to pull out of the sale because she was "too tired" to go and collect it.In the auction details it clearly said "buyer to collect" and gave the choice of two locations, so she must have realised how far she would have to travel if she won. Mind you, that may not have been the case. Perhaps, as she'd bid so late in the auction she'd overlooked that bit which is something I did once to my cost.When I was new to e-bay I bid for a bronze ornament in the final few minutes of an auction and won it. I was delighted with my purchase until I realised it was being shipped from Beijing and I live in UK. The postage was eleven times more expensive than the actual ite...

Building Fitness Requires Muscle And Nutrition
2007-10-29 08:30:00
If people are at all aware of what is going on around them, then they also have heard that building fitness in their body is an important way to assure good health, even as they move through the aging process.However, there still is a common misunderstanding that people have about being skinny and equating this to being in good physical condition.The incorrectness of this thought was recently illustrated on a popular television show which features celebrities learning how to do ballroom dances. One of the contestants was a model, who fit the media "ideal" of how a healthy woman should look.But, the first thing her dance instructor discovered was that under the svelte exterior there was no muscle tone. The first thing he attempted to do was to help her in building fitness and strength.In order for the body to start building fitness, the best place to start is to build the strength of the musculoskeletal system by toning and firming the muscles.Many people do this by utilizing home ex...

Never Underestimate Your Body Type
2007-10-29 08:28:00
It doesn't matter if you are trying to burn fat to loss weight or you are training to build muscles, the first step that you really need to know is to know what your body type is. Although the extend of success of your fat burning program or your muscle building regime is not predominantly determined by it, it makes a difference knowing your body so that you can eat and train more efficiently!Back in the 1930s and 1940s, Dr. William H. Sheldon, a professor from Harvard created a body classification after having conducted extensive research which include viewing of thousands of photographs and interviewing of hundred of people. There are generally three body types in his system: endomorphs, mesomorphs and ectomorphs. In a nutshell Endomorphs are the "fat retainers." Mesomorphs are the "genetically gifted." Ectomorphs are the lean and skinny types. . Not everyone fits exactly into one of these categories but contains characteristics of each, usually with one that is predominant.The E...

Proper Diet and Nutrition is Important to Body Building
2007-10-29 08:22:00
Just as you can't build a good house without a good foundation, you can do a good job of building your body without a good foundation either. While lifting weights and exercises are a key component of body building, so is having a good diet and good nutrition. Without these, the workouts will not be as effective. Not only that, but without proper nutrition, you will not even have the strength you need to work out.Some people say that you need to have lots of supplements, vitamins and minerals before you can effectively work out. These do have their place, but more importantly, just plain good healthy eating habits will go a long way to building your body.I'm not saying you should totally abandon eating a candy bar and having a soda, but this shouldn't be your sole source of nutrition. You need to eat food that has the right balance of carbohydrates and proteins to allow your body to grow properly.If you are going into a heavy competition, you may need to bulk up on the carbs, and...

One of the simplest and most effective ways to bring down blood glucose levels, cut the risk of cardiovascular disease, and improve overall health and well-being is physical fitness and exercise. Yet, in our increasingly sedentary world, where almost every essential task can be performed online, from the driver's seat, or with a phone call, exercising and being physically fit can be tough case to sell.In reality, everyone should exercise, yet survey shows that only 30% of the United States adult population gets the recommended thirty minutes of daily physical activity, and 25% are not active at all.Inactivity is thought to be one of the key reasons for the surge of type 2 diabetes in America, because inactivity and obesity promote insulin resistance and other factors that trigger other kinds of diseases.The good news is that it is never too late to get moving, and exercise is one of the easiest ways to start controlling the onset of any kinds of diseases.
