Major mistake people make when losing weight

2012-11-01T16:28:00.000-07:00

Hello guys, I haven't written new articles these days, so I decided to write a new article about the major mistakes we do when we follow a diet. When you follow a diet, the main mistake is that the diet is not correctly designed for you, there are dangerous diets that can cause a lot of stress to our body. Usually people read in the internet and follow simple diets for a week or two maximum. According to some researches over 50% lose the fight against overweight. The main reason is that you do not follow a diet which should be designed specially for your life and the way you work out. Also if there is a fitness program, it should be considered with the diet you follow.

Counting the calories

A lot of people eat and count the calories of the food they eat. This is wrong! The information given in the description of the product packaging sometimes is wrong. Instead of counting calories you should avoid fried food and do not over eat - eat enough so you are not hungry (when you can eat less, do it when you follow a diet, overeating causes also heart stress).

Breathing and its influence while trianing

2012-09-25T10:48:00.000-07:00

The normal rate of breathing at rest consists of the inhalation phase, the phase of breathing and respiratory pause. The inhalation makes the chest to increase its capacity. The opposite happens when our body exhales. This process is controlled by our muscles, that's why it is important to learn how to breathe properly when training (our body has the habit to breathe since born but this is different case.

For example when training using the bench, the way we breathe is really important, we can save energy if we know how to breathe properly. To prove this you may try lifting maximum weight without considering the way your breathe, do it as much as you can. After a short pause when you feel strong enough to do this again, do the same BUT when you lift up breathe in, when you lift down - breathe out. A lot of people who tried this say that they increase the amount of repeats and actually they really save energy.

Simple phases of breathing when doing exercises

When you start an exercise, divide it into 2 parts, like the example shown above.
Try to make the exercises slowly with a proper movement
In the 1st part of the exercise, breathe in. After the 1st part is done, take 1 or 2 seconds to rest then continue to 2nd part.
In the 2nd part it is important the exhale to end in the same time with the movement.

Following this simple steps, a lot of surveys has shown positive results. Why don't you try it? Another survey shows that people almost forget about the way they breathe and how important is it when training.

Losing weight in the gym

2012-09-21T13:16:00.000-07:00

Losing weight can be done not only by cardio or following a diet. You can also burn fat if you train in the gym? What is the secret? Less weight more repeats! Yes that's it! The more you repeat the more the temperature of your muscle increases and this is the principle of how our body loses weight! Incredible, isn't it? A lot of people whose aim is to lose fat use heavy weight in the gym. This is not correct. If you want a better relied and less fat, grab the less weight and do more repeats. That's it. Now after you know this little secret you may want to go and try it in the gym? The best results come in few weeks! Also don't forget that fried food will increase your fat under the skin, so we don't recommend eating fried food in the days when you train.

Cardio in the winter

2012-09-10T08:53:00.003-07:00

As everybody knows, after Autumn comes Winter. Though it is normal to rest more during the Winter and work harder in the summer, we also suggest cardio in the winter.

Running in winter

Many believe that running outdoors in cold weather temperatures is a prerequisite for an illness, but this is a misconception. The weakening of the immune system of the organism in combination with virus attack are the causes of the cold, but not sport outdoors in freezing temperatures.

Regular running leads to the growth of new cells

Regular running leads to the growth of new cells in the brain, which improves memory. It is not clear the exact mechanism by which aerobic exercise leads to an increase in gray matter, but this is probably related to increased blood flow or higher levels of certain hormones, which are synthesized during exercise.

Wear clothes that allows your body to breathe

What is important is not to this kind of activities that it should be approached with due caution and preparation. Clothes that are recommended are those who would have left the body and skin to breathe at the same time prevent freezing gust of wind.

How long to run out

Condition not get ill when you're running outside in the winter is not to stop. When you discover the strength to get home (just after breaking fast) and your body is heated and possibly wet, then the risk of cooling.

How to lose weight without diets

2012-08-29T10:51:00.001-07:00

When you are trying to lose weight the first thing that will usually come to mind is going on a diet but there are ways to lose weight that do not involve dieting at all. The first step is to visit your doctor and find out if you have any underlying conditions like diabetes that would require monitoring. There are some people who might feel great but they are suffering from a serious condition that only a doctor can diagnose.

Fat people (disease)

After you have spoken with the doctor the next step is to begin increasing your level of physical activity. The body is much like a machine where it burns energy in order to do things, when you have more energy than what is burned you end up with fat. All you need to do to lose weight is increase your level of exercise. This will increase the energy needs of the body and reduce the chances of fat developing.

An added benefit of being more active is your body will change and become stronger and more beautiful in the process.

Getting abs fast ?

2012-07-27T15:49:00.000-07:00

Hello everybody, you are reading one of the most successful online articles for six pack abs. Here are the tips which suits every person to get abs fast.

STRATEGY #1: THE GYM

First of all I want you to know that according to Fred McDaniel, who is a master trainer and co-founder of the Human Performance Center in Santa Fe, N.M. said that the abdominal muscles are designed for function not for size. So forget about the concern of your abs becoming too bulky by bring your weights, it won’t happen. Your focus should be on getting your abs firmer and tighter, which in time is how they get stronger through fitness.
Starting off with body resistant fitness like crunches and knee raises to improve your abs and lose weight is ok. The problem is though this can be counterproductive when you start getting into better shape. The better shape you get in the more resistance your abs will need. By adding weights, or I recommend cables, will allow your muscles to be worked in a variety of angles in turn always keeping up with the resistance your body needs.
McDaniel also reminds us that the risk of injury using weighted abdominal movements are the same risks as using weights for any other muscle group in our bodies. The key he says is to be focused, by maintaining proper form, go slowly when using the weights your muscles can handle. By remembering this, you will lower your odds of risk and greatly improve your results. You don’t have to go to a gym for this workout. Just get a high-cable pulley, a chin-up bar and a light dumbbell and your set to start losing weight, tightening your abs.

STRATEGY #2: IN-HOME PILATES-BASED

Understandable so, some people like to do their fitness at home and some people do not. When one person would consider working out their fitness routine at home very limiting, others feel greater freedom. If you are self conscious, working out at home gives you less concern about others watching. These abdominal moves are guaranteed to put your abdominal muscles through a workout most abdominal moves will never touch. Prying eyes may discourage you from the focus you need to do these abdominal moves in order to achieve the best fitness results.
Derived from Pilates, these at home routines are a series of floor exercises that cause resistance to your abs by holding specific positions. When done properly, you will develop strength, flexibility, gaining better posture , lose weight and better coordination. Ed Morand, A.C.E.,N.A.S.M who is the Pilates instructor at the New York Sports Clubs/Town Sports International in New York City, explains to us that these workouts may seem esoteric but in reality, they are closer to mimicking the real-life use of your abs.
Pilates requires that you tighten your muscles right from starting position. By keeping the tension on your abs all the time not only are you giving yourself a constant workout, you are improving your posture. This continual tension will keep your midsection muscles working overtime which in turn will help you see results faster with every exercise offered here.
Morand offers three abdominal moves for developing abs of steel, loss of weight by fitness which only requires a mat, a few minutes to spare, and determination.

STRATEGY #3: HOME OR GYM PHYSIOBALL

“The abdominal wall’s main job isn’t to curl you up off the floor; it is to constantly support and stabilize your body. When in good shape, the abdominal wall will keep your body in an upright balanced position throughout the entire day.” says Jeff Bell, C.S.C.S., N.A.S.M., A.C.S.M., co-owner of Spectrum Wellness, New York City. You know that ball that you usually see woman using, the big blue one called a Swiss ball, well guess what, nothing beats the Swiss ball for putting your midsection through greater, shape-shifting torture.
The ball mimics the movements your abdominal muscles make throughout a day. This may seem unique to you, however, it is actually quite familiar to your abdominal muscles. If you want a good jump start for your routine, the Swiss ball is the way to go. Just getting in the starting position onto the ball to do your first crunch makes your muscles (including your abs) contract. How cool is that! Jeff Bell reminds us that by doing the crunches on top of the ball, allows us to bend back even further than a floor would thus allowing to work out more muscle fibers along a safe, supported surface. He continues to say, "By arching your lower back up from a flat surface like the floor just to achieve the same effect will only compromise the spine instead of strengthen our abdominals.

Are you a newbie in fitness?

2012-07-27T06:23:00.001-07:00

You have recently decided that it is time to do some fitness and if this is the case then perhaps you will need some guidelines in the beginning. Then you might need to read this article.

First things, first – so congratulations, because you have taken step number one towards achieving better shaped body and sharper mind. Because those two things go together - when you deal with fitness then you are improving your body and when your body is in a good shape that also reflects your mind. It is not just a phrase what old Greeks used to say, but it is true – Healthy spirit in healthy body!

It is a fact that exercising and fitness can literally help improving and even curing your health problems. First of all when you regularly do exercises you help yourself with preventing your body from some type of diseases like forms of cancer or heart illnesses. Fitness also helps you get rid of depression, as well as you feel better if you have some extend of arthritis.

There is no doubt about the fact that fitness and regular exercising help you lose weight, get back into form, and stay fit and toned. The only thing that you need to prepare yourself for is that if you want to get benefits from doing this and you want to keep your form, then you should not stop, but exercise regularly. Of course this does not mean that you have to spend every day at the fitness gym, it just means that you should not give up after some time. It is the same like in cars or machines – they need oil to move on. And if you want your body to work in a proper order then fitness is your oil.

And the best thing is that it is not necessary to go only in the fitness gym, there are so many and different options for doing exercises. You can go walking or dancing, biking or even gardening. The important thing is to do something that moves your body. And the most important is that this activity has to be something that you enjoy doing. When you enjoy it then you will be more willing to make this your habit and you will get benefits from it much more quickly.

Perhaps you may ask yourself – how much time do you need to spend in exercising? Well it is not needed to have hours available for this activity. If you enjoy doing it you can spend some more time, but if you do not have enough time for fitness – around thirty minutes are enough. You can use the road to your work or back home and spend it in walking. If you do not have that time you can make a few ‘laps’ around your desk every couple of hours – it might sound a bit strange, but you would not bother anyone with doing this, and at the same time you will give your body the energy and the fitness that it needs.

So when you are ready to get started and you want regularly do your exercises, you can get some advice from professional fitness experts. They will explain to you what types of exercises you should do, depending on your health status and shape. You also need to remember to regularly check your heart rate and pulse during physical activity and different levels of intensity.

The calculated moderate intensity during physical activity for an average person should not be higher than 50 to 70% of his/her maximum heart rate.

So good luck and have a great time during exercising!

Proper fitness for girls ?

2012-07-23T05:06:00.001-07:00

This is one of the most beautiful girls in Bulgaria who cares about her body and loves training. In the gym or not, every girl can have her body trained. The proper diet and workout can give incredible results for one girl. As in the opposite gender, much effort is required to have good body.

Cardio, not lifting weights!

What most women need is cardio, not lifting weights. There is one universal exercise for women and it is called running. Yes, women need to do it every day in case they do not want to be fat. There is no sense in lifting weights, because it is not ok a woman to have a 40cm biceps!

Proper diet is 90%!

If girl decides to have a good body and to lose some fat, she has to make herself some limits. For example, eating 100gr chocolate maximum per 24 hours. Less carbohydrates, the better. Also must evade fried food or eat very rarely. Fresh food is preferred, restaurants like KFC, McDonalds and so on must be forgotten. If you do cardio and keep some diet, you will lose at least 2 kilos per week.

How to maintain body after we reached the results ?

Another important part of this is to maintain or keep the figure women main. How? Running 3 kilometers per day at least helps doing this. Yoga and gymnastics helps a lot! Women should know that they can't eat everything they see. Having a food variety is important. Practice a sport or do some exercise. Taking these sentences in mind will help you keep your body the same.

10 minutes workout a day keeps fat away

2012-07-15T15:39:00.000-07:00

As people say " An apple a day keeps the doctor away" the same applies to workouts and fats. For those who do not want to be fat should train at least 10 minutes a day, so they do not have any extra fat on their body.
Start with 5 minutes cardio (for example running somewhere outside), then 2 minutes push ups, 1 minute crunches and 2 minutes jumping in one place for finish. This small practice every day gives changes in 2 or 3 month of course if you do not overdo it with food. So remember :

10 minutes workout a day keeps fat away!
