Fitness Goal Tips

Winter workouts definitely make you feel like you deserve, if not a big feast, then at least a fondue.  But does exercising around and below zero really help you burn more calories? "Only in some very specific cases," says Bob Seabor, a nutritionist, trainer and physiologist.  "Energy consumption only starts to increase significantly if it's so cold that you start shivering," he added. Energy consumption Once you tremble, your body suddenly starts burning a lot of calories.  According to Seabor, these involuntary muscle contractions lead to twice, three times or even four times the energy expenditure above the basic metabolism.  However, an analysis of several studies from 2010 shows that 75-80% of the calories expended in trembling come from muscle glycogen stores.  This means that if your teeth start chattering, you need to increase your carbohydrate intake. After all, if you are dressed appropriately, you will probably not tremble and therefore will not need ...

People in good shape know that even if they do not have equipment, they can ensure excellent training.  They know how to adjust their level to the exercises with their own weight and how to adapt them when necessary.  Here are some rules on how to train more effectively without any additional equipment. Rule 1: Length increases strength When you increase the distance between the source of strength (ie the muscle you are loading) and the end of the object you want to lift (in this case - your body), you decrease the so-called  mechanical advantage.  Simply put, this means that the longer your body is, the weaker you become and the more your muscles need to work. This is the main difference between modified push-ups and regular ones.  When doing push-ups on your toes (rather than leaning on your knees, for example), your torso muscles need to work much harder to keep your body in the air. How to apply it:   Stretch your arms over your head while doing lu...

If you look after your health you have probably heard of antioxidants. They are the good guys who fight the ‘free radicals. Here’s what Dr. Chandra of the World Health Organization says about antioxidants: “To date, some sixty diseases have been associated with free radical damage, and each human cell receives at least 10,000 damaging hits from free radicals every day. So by taking antioxidants we increase our immunity as they act as a scavenging system to free radicals”. Antioxidants can be taken in tablet form or in liquid form in a drink such as Pomesteen. I have personal experience of how antioxidants can improve health. A couple of days before Christmas 1999 I was ill with pancreatitis. Although I was 55 at the time I had never had any serious illnesses so this came as quite a shock. I was taken to my local hospital where I spent 3 weeks. Most of that time I was on a drip and unable to eat or drink. During the last 2 or 3 days, I was allowed to eat and once I had pro...

There are a few rules that you need to follow when you are trying to gain muscle fast. Here are a few of the most important. Dieting Issues Everyone who aims to gain muscle knows that eating more is an important step, especially if they have always had trouble with weight gain. The thing not everyone realizes is that eating more doesn’t just mean eating more within any given meal. It’s imperative that the meals and snacks you have, happen more frequently. Your body will adjust to the bigger meals and learn to adjust to the new intake. If you also eat more frequently, the body can only adjust by gaining weight. There are a lot of things you need in order to gain muscle mass fast. There are a lot of ingredients that help build that muscle, but protein is really the most important one. So when you start eating more, aim to add a lot of protein to the meals. You’ll likely find that you have trouble reaching the amount of protein recommended for muscle gain, so you should stro...

CURB YOUR APPETITE According to acclaimed health and diet experts, Mehmet Oza and Michael Roizen, one way to curb your appetite is by exercising at the gym. But not just any type of exercise. They emphasize combining cardiovascular exercises and strength training. In their online newspaper column, YOU Docs Daily, they cite a small 16-week study comparing a group of men who did only aerobics for 60 minutes or only weight training, to men who did no exercise at all and to men who combined only 22 minutes of cardio training with lifting weights. Results indicated that men who combined both aerobics and weight lifting were actually less hungry and ate fewer calories. The experts speculate that this powerful combination, cardiovascular training with weight training, might affect blood levels of fats, glucose, amino acids, and even hormones that affect appetite. MANAGE YOUR EMOTIONS Pay attention to the way you think and feel. If emotions are stirring up inside of you, and your immediate res...

I try to drink when I start to worry about constipation. I introduce what I try to drink when I begin to worry about constipation. I always have bread and coffee for breakfast every morning. Because, if you don't drink coffee in the morning, you'll soon become constipated. Coffee is indispensable because I want to go to the restroom immediately because constipation is canceled immediately if coffee is drunk without fail. I make hot coffee immediately when i begin to worry about the tension and constipation of the stomach and not only in the morning and i drink it. Even if it is not an instant coffee made at home, the coffee bought somewhere on the go works well, and it comes to want to drink coffee immediately when constipation is anxious. I think it's better for my body than taking constipation pills I don't know, so I'm going to continue this method as long as it works for my constipation. It does not cost money, and it has the immediate effect, and it is not poss...
