Useful Tips For Getting In Great Shape
Building muscle and being more fit are pretty common goals for everyone. Regardless of your age exercise should be part of your life. Here are some helpful tips for getting yourself in great shape.

If you are trying to build bigger biceps you're probably already doing arm curls. Next time you do, bend your wrists back slightly and hold them like that. This will cause your biceps to work harder and in turn force your muscles to adapt.

Your abs, and every muscle in your body needs time to recover after is has been worked out. All muscles including your abs grow and become stronger in between workouts when they are given the opportunity to rest. Because of this abs should never be worked two days in a row and really shouldn't be worked more than 2 or 3 times in a single week.

If riding a bike is not part of your fitness routine you are missing out. Bike riding is not just for kids anymore. It is a great way to burn calories as well as enjoy your surroundings rather than being stuck in a gym. Biking can be a fun, and a cheap method for working out and staying fit.

Interval training is something everyone should try as part of their cardio. Interval training involves going all out for approximately 30 seconds then resting for 30 seconds. It is a very effective technique and requires less time than running or biking at a steady pace. 30 seconds is a good place to start but can be modified based on your goals and skill.

Although it is important to have fitness goals you should not obsess over them or look at them as the finish line. Fitness needs to be thought of as a lifestyle not a means to an end. Or simply a way to accomplish a goal. It is important to find and implement fitness plans that we will enjoy and continue for long periods of time.

Make sure that you are feeding your muscles immediately after your workouts. Muscles are very receptive to vitamins and nutrients after our workouts. Get around thirty grams of protein within thirty minutes of your workout. This can also help keep next day soreness to a minimum.

Listen to your body. If your muscles feel sore and overworked give them a chance to recover before you work them out again. Get plenty of sleep so your muscles can rebuild and prepare for your next workout.

If you are trying to build muscle you must understand some basic principles. If you do you can save yourself hundreds of hours working out and hundreds of dollars on expensive supplements.

fit a fitness program into your lifestyle

2011-05-28T04:53:00.000-07:00

As you may well know, it is important to exercise. Our bodies are strengthened by use. Like most things in life, work makes us stronger. If we don't use our bodies, they become weak and more prone to illness and injury. Most of us are aware that exercise is important for good health. But, like eating well, and getting enough sleep, it is one thing to know that it is good for us and another thing to actually put what we know into practice.

For some, exercise is a routine activity that fits nicely into their lives. For others, it is more of a challenge, especially when their schedule appears full. For the latter group, if that is the group you fall under, rather than say, "I will exercise IF I have time," I encourage you to say to yourself, "I will exercise WHEN I have time." Then, check your schedule, find the WHEN, and schedule it on your calendar. If you have no big blocks of time available, then find small time slots that allow for exercise.

Here are ten ways to fit exercise into those small time slots:

Use the stairs rather than the elevator or escalator. Look for the stairway and walk or run up the steps. As for the escalator, walk while it is moving rather than stand still.

Walk or run when you have blocks of time. It takes very little time to put on your sneakers and walk or jog outside. In bad weather, the mall is a good place to walk.

Park the car a good distance from your destination so you take more steps to get there. Most people search for the closest parking spot to their destination. Not only might it be easier to find a less-popular parking spot further away, you will also get more exercise.

Take a quick fitness class at a convenient time for you. Oftentimes, gyms hold fitness classes early in the morning, at lunchtime, and/or after work hours so that working people can fit workouts in.

Do a walking meeting, rather than a sit-down meeting. You might find it more fun and energizing to walk and talk to a colleague rather than sit and talk.

Make a routine of walking after dinner. Walking after dinner helps your food to settle and digest. Walking also uses calories consumed at mealtime.

Plan weekend activities that include exercise. Biking, rollerblading, and hiking are good examples of enjoyable weekend activities.

Ride a bike or travel by foot when you can. Opt out of driving when you can travel by foot.

Use a treadmill or stationary bike while reading, talking on the phone, or watching television. Multitasking, in this way, makes repetitive exercise more tolerable.

Clean the house inside and out for great exercise. Vacuuming, scrubbing household surfaces, and mowing the lawn are great examples of exercise while cleaning.

By adding little bits of exercise throughout the day, you keep your body moving. Little bits add up to a lot in the end. What will you do today to fit exercise in?

Can You Gain Muscle and Burn Fat at the Same Time?
-- By Jon Benson, Author of "7 Minute Muscle" 
Many fitness pros just plain don't believe that you can burn fat while building muscle at the same time. Every time I read an article by some doctor or expert claiming it's "biologically impossible" to gain muscle on a hypocaloric diet (a diet low in calories) I just laugh.  I do more than make claims - I have proved this to be true many times. I've had my body fat hydrostatically measured during several peaks. In all but one I showed an increase of muscle mass and a decrease of body fat during a 12-16 week period. The one time I didn't show an increase in muscle mass when was I was training the most in the gym. That may not make sense right now, but it will in a moment.

We eat when we are depressed.

And when you eat like this you can kiss your fatloss goodbye.

Reasons why some muscle building routines don't work

2010-08-16T15:34:00.000-07:00

Why do so many people go to the gym on a consistent basis and follow a muscle building routine, but make little to no progress? It doesn't seem fair if you think about it. It's hard enough to consistently go to the gym or even work out at home, but to not make any real progress can be hard to swallow. In this article I am going to go over what it takes to trigger muscle growth and why so many people's workouts fall short.

Many factors go in to muscle building

There are many factors that go in to building muscle, and the actual routine that you follow is only one part of the equation. Your diet needs to support muscle growth as well, and you need plenty of time to recuperate.

So for growth to be possible from your muscle building routine you need the following to occur:

Growth to be triggered from your workout
Adequate diet that supports muscle growth
Plenty of rest to allow growth and prevent overtraining

I am going to focus on the actual workout itself in this article. Regardless of what body part you are training, the best exercise is the one that recruits the most muscle fibers at the point of contraction. Many people believe that isolation exercises are not useful for building mass, I disagree. Many isolation exercises cause maximum contraction especially if you stop the exercise short at the point where resistance decreases. A concentration or cable curl is a perfect example, once you get so far up on the lift, resistance decreases and the exercise becomes less effective. You will get more out of it by stopping the curl at the point where the stress quits at the biceps and transfers more to the front delts. It may seem better to go through a full range of motion, but in this case, you get more resistance by stopping short.

Multiple sets can be counter productive

If you try doing barbell curls with strict form, at a slower pace for around 8-12 reps, stopping as I suggest, you will definitely feel the difference versus throwing the weight up and allowing your shoulders and momentum do most of the work. Another important point to consider is that once muscle growth is triggered, you do not need to do more sets. One or two sets to failure in the manner described above will trigger muscle growth as if turning on a light. You don't need to keep turning the light on, once it's on, stop and save your energy for the muscle growth that will take place during rest. Continuing beyond this point is only going to reduce the effectiveness of your workouts.

You can use this same concept of stopping short for other exercises as well, such as bench press, flyes, lateral raises, etc. I'm not suggesting that you never go through a full range of motion again, I just think that you should give this a try for a while and see how it feels. Just slowing down your reps a bit will make a big difference, especially if you normally go faster and cheat through your sets. By stopping short, you maintain constant resistance on the muscle and progressively overload it with cumulative fatigue throughout the set.

Muscle growth will not occur without progressive resistance

One final point that you need to keep in mind is progressive resistance. If you are not progressively doing more each workout, you will not grow. It's really that simple. You need to either do more reps, add more weight, or rest less during the workout to cause muscle growth. If you have been bench pressing the same weight give or take for the last few years or longer, like so many people you see at the gym, you need to make a change. You need to do more, whether you need to change exercises and work up in weight, or you need to go slower, or any number of ways to progressively overload your muscles. If you don't, it won't matter what muscle building routine you are following, you are not going to see any real results.

Muscle building program for busy people

2010-07-14T11:33:00.000-07:00

Most people would like to have a better body. Some are looking to gain muscle size and others are looking to lose some weight and have trim body.

In today's world with people on the go, it is often difficult to find the time to devote to achieve these goals. In all my years of being involved in body building and fitness, I find that most people give up on their fitness goals because of lack of progress or time.

As a fitness trainer, my main focus has been to show people that training for a more muscular body does not involve long hours in the gym, but what is needed is a commitment to a small block of time (30-45 min.) just a few times a week.

I want to give a routine for people who just can't find the time to exercise beginning with the top 4 exercises that will target the whole body and over time will give you a body you will be proud of.

Before we start please be sure to get your physician's okay to embark on a progressive resistance routine.

We will be doing compound exercises that target large groups of muscles:

1) The routine will consist of leg presses for the quads

2) Machine presses for the chest shoulders and triceps

3) Chins to target the back and biceps

4) Crunches to tighten the abs

You will be doing 3 sets of 8-10 repetitions for each exercise.

Do the exercises listed one after the other in a cycle and then rest until your breathing returns to normal before starting the next cycle.

Be sure to do a basic warmup before starting this routine and a cooldown when it is complete.

Keep a journal and try to improve something (more reps-more weight) every workout. This routine is brief (30 min) and will fit into most lifestyles. Over time you will have a more muscular body by following this routine. Make sure you are also following a healthy eating plan. Until my next article

Muscle Building System That Really Adds Muscle - FAST

2010-06-20T07:03:00.000-07:00

Hello to all bodybuilders and fitness trainees.
In this article I wanted to give you the basics of a technique known as stop reps. It is a system that has been used with great success in years past. The one principle that I have always taught people that I have trained is this, if you are focusing your training on gaining muscle size and strength there is a basic rule to follow.
You must keep your training intense and fairly brief. A good example is to take a look at runners. The cross country runner has a long and lean muscle structure with great endurance. Now look at the sprinter and you will see a individual with a well muscled body especially their legs. This is because the sprinters main training focus is to generate explosive power at the starting line and finish strong. In contrast the cross country runner's main focus is endurance; their training reflects this with longer workouts focusing on aerobic work. These are the exercises that will help them finish this long grueling race.
As long as you are following a routine that is brief (45-60) min., you will be able to incorporate this system into what you are doing now. If not, I would recommend that you choose one good compound movement per body part: Sets of 5-6 with your rep range at 6-8 along with training each muscle group twice a week. Now lets get into the performance of stop reps to really gain the muscle. An example would be using the two arm curl. After completing the fifth rep, make 3 stops on each of the remaining 3 reps. The emphasis: on your fifth rep you will stop the weight 1/3 of the way up for a few seconds, then at the halfway point, and finally at the top position.
One thing I have to mention is that you will need a training partner to spot your exercises like the bench press because your muscles will tire faster than you think. Remember keep your training safe and always check with your physician before enbarking on any exercise program.
To keep in great shape on the road or vacation this is what I use to Muscle Up
Good Luck with your Training

How Do Supplements Build Muscle?

2010-06-15T15:44:00.000-07:00

Muscle supplements are regularly used by weight-lifters and body builders to increase stamina, improve performance and to build muscle mass. Supplements contain essential minerals, amino acids, vitamins and other nutrients. Although these elements are produced by the human body, additional amounts are needed to build muscles.
One of the most essential supplements for this purpose is protein. An extra supply of protein can conveniently be taken in a powdered drink. The powders have a number of flavors and are marketed as milkshakes. A bodybuilder will often drink one before and after working out. Protein enhances muscle growth and it can also repair torn tissues.
Bodybuilders also need additional essential fatty acids. A low-fat diet often forms part of a bodybuilding program. As such, this can result in a fat deficiency. To combat this, supplements containing oils from tuna, trout, salmon or mackerel are needed.
Muscle supplements also contain an amino acid called glutamine. The body's own production of this is quickly depleted during anaerobic exercises such as weight-lifting. If it is not put back into the system, there could be a loss of muscle tissue and the risk of a weakened immune system.
Most bodybuilders use meal replacement products (MRPs) to obtain a variety of necessary elements. Because these products are so full of nutrition, they can be used to replace an entire meal. These come in a powdered form which can be mixed with milk or water. They are also available as edible bars. MRPs are very high minerals, vitamins and protein, but low in carbohydrates and fat.
Linolenic acid is also found in muscle supplements. Soybean oil is the only commercial oil that contains this. It is not found in polyunsaturated oils such as sunflower, corn, or safflower. While linolenic acid is important, a-linolenic acid is just as important. This can be obtained from walnuts, flaxseed and pumpkin seeds. Both acids are important for muscle building.
The human body can produce the organic acid, creatine. But, it cannot generate enough to replenish the energy expended after weight-lifting. During this activity, short, intense bursts of energy are used.
Creatine is well known to build up muscles. It can even improve a person's brain function. It is often incorrectly referred to as a steroid. In fact, this organic acid supplement is derived from fish and all meats.
Bodybuilders also use muscle supplements that contain a testosterone booster. This artificial substance is derived from certain vitamins and plants. Manufacturers say that it is a replication of the natural male hormone, testosterone. Although it seems that these boosters produce results, scientific studies have not confirmed their efficacy.

Avoid Overtraining and build muscle

2010-06-08T13:11:00.000-07:00

Overtraining is a common term widely known by bodybuilders. However there are still many who do not understand the symptoms and what caused it.
You have known that to build muscle we must train the body and providing adequate rest for each part of our muscles. Study has shown that training a muscle more than twice a week is not recommended. Your chest muscle will not get bigger faster if you train it every day. Instead you will only waste your effort when it finally leads to overtraining.
Several reasons that caused overtraining are as followed:
* Exercising too often within a week * Lifting too much weight is a long period of time * Doing too much sets. 10 sets per tool are too much. 3-4 sets are good enough. * Using too many tools. To avoid getting tired easily, you should only use 4-5 tools for muscle training.
Some symptoms of overtraining that you should be aware of:
* Prolonged fatigue. * The loss of body strength. * Pain in muscles that continues. * Reduce in appetite. * Unable to sleep soundly. * No passion for practicing and laziness to visit the gym * Reduced endurance, such as getting colds easily and slow healing process.
What you can do to avoid overtraining:
* Adjust your exercise patterns, do not force your practice every day if you can not afford it. * Avoid a monotonous exercise, and begin to add variety into your exercise patterns. * Add variety such as treadmills, bikes, etc in your weight training patterns. * Do not engage in any Set Failures during exercise and at each session of exercise.
Exercising provides many benefits to your body, it becomes healthier and stronger. However you still need to watch your exercise settings. Do it smart and avoid overtraining for your body and health benefits.

Fat Burners - Reviewed

2010-06-05T13:56:00.000-07:00

In addition to working out in this new way to build muscle and lose bodyfat there is always the element of supplements that should be looked at to see their benefits.This is a good article for your info

Despite stating that BSN's Thermonex boasts the most advanced thermogenic formula for weight loss to arrive in the supplement market through years, this formula is not specifically revolutionary. Most of the ingredients are fairly common. That is not to say that this is not a potent product delivering some results. But those who are sensitive in caffeine may want avoiding this product or at least begin their dosage with one pill twice per day to assess their tolerance, since there is about 300 mg of caffeine included in every serving of this Thermonex.
Now let us check the ingredient label of Thermonex and know what is in it.
1. Caffeine: There is a ton of caffeine in Thermonex. The fat burning ability of caffeine is well-documented and it is a no-brainer addition to fat burner. When caffeine is combined with green (which is also included in Thermonex), the effects of caffeine may become even more dominant.
2. Green tea: There is 375 mg green tea included in the formulation of Thermonex. Green tea is among the fat burning ingredients showing real potential for weight loss. No doubt, this is a good addition to the formula.
3. Octopamine: This is a trace amine with no actual conclusive evidence that exists for weight loss benefits. In addition, octopamine has a very low oral bioavailability and is broken down by enzyme monamine oxidase. Therefore, it's the little amount included in the formula that has good effect at all.
4. Advantra Z®: This is a patented citrus aurantium extract that is regulated for synephrine, which is an ingredient called the chemical cousin of ephedera. You will find numerous products for weight loss as well as web sites that tout the synephrine's wonderful weight loss benefits. Unfortunately, clinical data validating those claims is in short supply.
5. Evodia Rutaecarpa: This is a Chinese fruit having the ability of helping with weight loss through increasing the production of heat of the body, as well as decreasing the ability of the body to store fat. The only problem is, those claims have not been scientifically confirmed in humans. There are some studies performed on rodents as well as promising "in vitro" studies but the jury is out if this product will show a good weight loss effect for human beings.
6. Naringin: This is a grapefruit extract serving as a good source of fiber and supposedly reduces the actions of cytochrome P450, which is associated with obesity. This also improves or extends the effectiveness of the other ingredients.
7. Yerba Mate: This is a source of caffeine and some other xanthines. This may reduce monamine oxidase enzyme's activity, which increase octopamine's bioavailability in this formula. In addition, Thermonex also contains iodotyrosone, diiodotyrosine and l-tyrosine, which are all precursors of thyroid hormone.
The actual weight loss benefits of BSN Thermonex lie in its green tea and caffeine content. Although few other ingredients in the formula show some potential, their benefits are not conclusively proven.

What supplements are needed for muscle building?

2010-06-03T15:50:00.000-07:00

Muscle building supplements are there for one reason - to aid you in building muscle, to give you added performance and make you get the most out of your weight training.
The supplement market is big, very big, and a lot of what you see out there is pretty much useless. There are countless supplements that will promise you amazing results but will simply not deliver. If you want to build maximum muscle and strength then there are only three supplements you should be concerned with.
Creatine - When you're working out your body uses creatine to supply your muscles with energy, it is a naturally occurring substance found in all of us. The reason that you can't do any more reps on an intense set is because your body has temporarily depleted its creatine stores.
You can probably guess then that buying creatine and taking it as a supplement will provide your body with extra supplies when it needs it most. With higher levels of creatine in your body you will be able to push out those extra reps that you wouldn't normally be able to do.
After a few weeks of taking creatine you should notice good size and strength gains, because of this creatine is a very popular supplement for weight lifters and athletes. You should take creatine directly after your workouts but also ensure your taking it on your off days as well.
Protein Powder - Your body needs protein to grow. It provides your body with the building blocks to add new muscle. You will soon that ingesting lots of protein day in and day out can get quite tricky when you're trying to get it from meat, fish and dairy. This is where protein powder comes in!
Protein powder is simply protein derived from whey in most cases. It will not magically make you pack on lots of muscle overnight but it is great for getting a lot of protein in an easy meal. You can create a protein shake out of protein powder oats and milk and within minutes you have ingested 30 - 50grams of protein and five hundred of more calories.
This is why many people use protein powder, for the sheer convenience. Protein shakes are great for after workouts as you don't have to worry about preparing a protein rich meal.
Xtreme NO - If you are serious about your muscle building efforts then you Xtreme NO should definitely be part of your supplement inventory. Essentially Xtreme NO is a mix of amino acids that work to increase the levels of naturally occurring Nitric oxides in the body. When you take Xtreme NO you are fueling your muscles with extra oxygen that will allow you to lift heavier weights for more reps.
By lifting heavier and for longer your muscles will be stimulated more than usual and this will result in much better muscle growth. Not only that but Xtreme NO increases muscularity even outside of your workouts, due to your body being fueled with the extra oxygen, your muscles will have that 'pumped' look and feel all throughout the day.
Check out my full review of Xtreme NO and see the before and after pictures of one of my clients who did a four week trial of it! This and more at my best way to build muscle blog.

Get in Shape and Build Muscle

2010-06-01T15:39:00.000-07:00

Every day people try to start an exercise program to improve their health. They either start by trying a piece of equipment they saw on T.V., or by going all out and getting a gym membership. Most people do not exercise, so the influence is strong to not get to the gym. Instead, people are overworked, lack sleep, are very stressed, and so in their relationships, they require alcohol. I am not saying that alcohol is bad, but most people use it to get away from their lives, when they should be getting into their life and making it the way they want.
What if there was a guide or a book that was available that would help guide people from chaos to calamity in their life? There is hope because that book is available today, and it is a lot cheaper than paying a medical weight loss lifestyle clinic, a diet specialist, a psychiatrist, or even a personal trainer time after time.
The book is called, 'F.I.T. You WILL Make YOU Succeed!', and is packed with everything you need to reach the next level. The book touches on how to love yourself, how to take care of yourself, how you deserve more in life, how to pick a career and make that career into something you love, and how to keep your environment clean and sanitary. You will also learn that friends that bring you down are friends that you do not need. You deserve friends that want to live a great life full of abundance. The same holds true for your lover, mate, or spouse. Everyone deserves to be connected with someone that has the same vision for now and the future.
Diet is discussed in detail and it covers what you should and should not eat, as well as a week of pre-planned eating. This will enlighten you to make all the necessary changes to what you eat, and give you the best advantage at losing weight or just living healthier for you, friends, and loved ones.
The last sections of the book cover cardiovascular and weight training exercise. Not only do you get the best advice, the book has a full year of cardio and weight training guidance. There are eight 6 week workouts, or a full year, for you to follow and progress with in order to lose that weight or get in shape. The cardiovascular exercise is all pre-planned too. There are also pictures of each exercise to make sure that you are performing them correctly. So go online and look for the book that will make you succeed!

Give your muscle building workout some twist and let these superhero-inspired routines take you to enjoyable sessions. Here are muscle building techniques to shun boring exercises away and welcome a hero training in sculpting the body.
You may not have the extra strong faculty to fly, hurdle, jump and leap skyscraping buildings, but you will certainly look and feel as if you can with these muscle building techniques and routines. Now, to the gym!
1. Superman Back Extension – From the name itself, you can easily discern how this type of exercise is employed. But for the benefit of those wondering how this muscle building workout is executed, you simply have to lie facedown at a back-extension position with both feet secured and anchored. The lower hips are supported with a leaning and inclined platform to keep you from falling face down. Next, grab a pair of dumbbells keeping the abs and the midsection tight for optimal outcome as you raise both arms until the body comes to a straight line position making you look like superman flying. Hold to the position for few seconds and finally, lower yourself down. This will help you achieve a well trained and defined core, works the lower back and other targeted muscles.

2. Spiderman Pull up – This type of muscle building routine is stirred by the superhero, Spiderman. All you have to do is grab a pull up bar with a handle grip. Raise your arms at a distance a bit apart from the shoulder width. Pull up with the use of your right hand with the right leg and knee bent concurrently. This workout routine gives a perfect picture of Spiderman climbing a wall – but this time one knee is lifted towards the bar.

This kind of body building routine helps strengthens the torso, arms and legs.
3. Thor’s Hammer – This is considered as an excellent complete workout in building muscles specifically the biceps. This is done in a standing position with a barbell and your palm facing up. Start the routine by curling the weight up the shoulder and lifting the bar overhead. Next, you need to rotate your palm from a face up position to face forward as you try to push the weights as high as you can reach. It is important to note, that in a routine like this, twisting the wrists plays a major role in shaping and sculpting the forearms and the biceps all at the same time. Once done, you can switch arms and repeat the routine for a maximum of 10 reps on each side.
4. Hulk Super Leap – This position does not need any kinds of equipment. All you do is stand on a mat with the hips and knees bent in a halfway squat position and both hands arch on the side. Swing both hands overhead as you blow up upwardly. Upon the blast, immediately go back and land to your original half squat position.
These are some of the muscle building techniques one can perform in making your seemingly ordinary workout an extra-ordinary and hero-like body building training.
