Are Modern Ab Workout Machines A Scam
Workout is not really fun, sometimes it is boring, and it can cause injuries and pain. How to make it easier, safer, or even funny? Such questions force clever engineers to invent modern ab workout machines.The commercials put in our minds that those devices would make workout fun and help to develop six pack abs quickly. Is that true? Ore are items like, for example, the crazy abs machine and the ab doer twist scam?
The abdoer, or more correct ab doer twist, looks like a chair. A comfortable seat can be used in a swivelling mode on different resistance levels but also steady. Instead of a back rest, there is a column with contouring arm bars. It provides a supportive flexibility to all directions. A massage roller, added to the column, massages the back during the exercises. It is suitable for abdominal exercises as well as for cardio workout. DVDs help people to find the right workout routine.
On the abdoer, exercises can be comfortably done in a sitting position. The unique construction keeps the body align during the workout which is remarkably safe. According to ab doer twist reviews, this machine motivates many people to start abdominal exercises at home. More than 70 % of the reviewers rate it 4 and 5 stars and love it. That includes people with long-term back problems as well as overweight persons. Lower ratings come together with complaints about not enough resistance. Seems, those reviewers are advanced exercisers and do not feel challenged by workout in a comfortable position. The easiness and comfort - on the other hand - are the reasons why the majority of users praise the abdoer. Very many people are not able to do exercises on the floor. They are stiff or overweight or simply fear to get injured. For them, the safe abdoer is an excellent solution to work the midsection and gain flexibility and strength. Many report remarkable success in weight loss.
The crazy abs machine is another one of those modern ab workout machines. Users kneel on pads, grab a handle bar, and move themselves forth and back on a shaped arc. A specific technology supports the motion. The handle bar can get turned to the right or left, to work the obliques. On crazy ab machines, people have to work against gravity and body weight. That makes the workout very effective. Only the classic vertical knee raise station offers that advantage in a similarly well supported position. In contrast to the vertical knee raise, the crazy abs machine is smaller and easier to handle at home.
The crazy abs machine does not seem to be such a bestseller as the abdoer, but the customer satisfaction is also remarkably high. We can learn from the few lower rated reviews, that some users think, they do not get enough twist to work the obliques. Otherwise, the safety, the back friendliness, the sturdy construction, and the results get praised highly.
Flat abs in a short time will not be possible with this amazing little ab workout machines. To get six pack abs is hard work, requires discipline, usually a specific diet, and it sometimes depends on the personal genes. There is no garanty to get a six pack with these machines, but they are ideal for very many people and in no case scam.
It is admirable how technicians can create such modern devices to make abdominal exercises at home easier, safer, and even fun. Both machines are easy to assemble; both machines are portable; both machines are affordable, both machines provide a safe workout solution for everybody in the family from teens to grandparents. People with real back problems, overweight or other health issues should consult their doctors before they buy an exercise machine. Many doctors will be pleased, if their patients start a healthier lifestyle. Buying an ab doer twist or a crazy abs machine seems to be a beneficial investment in health and fitness for very many people.

A 30 Minute Workout That Totally Works!
Today I'd like to talk to you about a 30 minute workout. I just recently posted an article for a 10 minute workout because I think a lot of people are still really skeptical whether this short of workout is of any use. After all, we are all super-busy, as well as ready, willing, and able to come up with excuses why we cannot exercise. So it's a valid topic.
But, can you guess what is 3X better than a 10 minute workout? Yep, you got it...a 30 minute workout. If you are from the old school of thought that you need an entire hour to get in a good workout, let me tell you a little secret: NONE of the successful, in-shape trainers I know EVER do a full hour workout anymore. OK, well, that may be slightly exaggerated, but mostly true. Successful people are the ones that find the most efficient way to accomplish the goal and do it, right?
That last bit there was a big clue, in case you missed it. DO IT! Whether it is ten minutes or 30 minutes, just do it, something, anything. But let me explain for you an easy way to get a great 30 minute workout without knowing a bunch of different exercises that are efficient and excellent. I shared something similar with you in my free workout plan. It's interval style and that just means you can take a couple of powerful exercises and then do several rounds of them in quick succession so that you are getting your heart rate up and working your muscles at the same time. It's killer stuff and I love it! Simple, fast, effective.
So here's a good example:
Five minutes Jump rope:
Now if you can't do five minutes, just do what you can, but push it.
Pushups:
How many can you do? I'm good at 12, but I must remind you that these are FULL pushups in good form, not what I see people doing, these little barely-bending, butt-hoisted-up, bad-form things sadly claiming to be pushups. Now, if you can't do a full one, that's fine, don't pretend you can, because it's causing more harm than good. Do a modified version with the knees down, and keep everything straight from knees to top of head. Then really try to bend down with the arms (NOT your neck).
Squats:
In the free workout plan article I explained to you exactly how to do these correctly, so I won't go into it again here. I can bang out 25 or 30 of these. How 'bout you?
Plank pose with a twist:
The Plank Pose by itself is great and you can just hold it for an extended length of time, so long as you don't let your belly slouch down, that means your abs have given in and you are putting strain on your lower back. So if you want, you don't even need the twist. It just depends how strong you are. If you are ready for the challenge, add the twist, which entails spacing your feet far enough apart to drop them down sideways while lifting one arm up off the floor, reaching toward the ceiling. The hand that's on the floor should be positioned under your shoulder and you want to go slowly alternating sides to respect the proper positioning, as this is working, in part, the wrist, which is very weak for most people.
A small side note: Working the wrist is something many people shy away from. My personal experience is that I had wrist troubles for years as a waitress carrying extremely heavy trays (my wrists are ridiculously tiny) and when I started working toward my yoga certification, they gave me a lot of trouble for a time. Working past this, they then grew strong and I have had nearly zero issues with them ever since. Moral of the story: Take care, but don't shy away from strengthening the wrists.
Well, I got so pumped up talking about this 30 minute workout routine that I decided to leave off the article writing and go do it. Of course, I had numerous interruptions from the children so I didn't get the full 30 minute workout in, but I did get a little sweaty, and I do feel much more energized. So it's all good.
One final note: I suck at jumping rope!!

Why Working Out With A Personal Fitness Trainer Gets Results
Every year people around the globe vow to lose weight, exercise more and get in shape. Fitness centers often see a spike in new memberships in January, only to have their gyms half-empty in March. While many people have a genuine desire to get healthy and exercise, only a few actually follow through. A personal fitness trainer can help you retain your motivation and see your ultimate goals.
Why is Hiring a Personal Trainer Better?
Your gym in Toronto probably has several personal trainers on staff that you have seen working out and helping other clients. Do you know what these trainers do and how they can help you?
#1. Accountability Personal trainers provide a form of peer pressure, of sorts. When you have to be accountable for meeting your goals, you are less likely to fall off track and miss your established goal. Your personal trainer will keep track of your progress, your weight and help plan future workouts. Having a personal fitness trainer that will keep you on track is an excellent way to keep up your momentum in your fitness plan.
#2. Motivation A lot of people lose interest in their workout plans because, to put it simply, they get bored. While running on a treadmill may be fun to some, others may find it tedious and dull. A personal trainer will motivate you with challenging workouts that keep you active and suggest workouts that you will find more engaging. Since they are keeping track of your progress, they can remind you that you are nearing your goal and give you the strength to push on in your workouts.
#3. That Extra Push It is easy to slack off when nobody is watching or keeping track. That is why clients who take group classes often lose more weight than those who go alone. Your personal trainer will push you harder than you will push yourself, helping you test your limits and get the most out of your workouts. Do not worry about your personal fitness trainer pushing you too hard, however. They are trained in the limits of human stamina and will tailor a workout to your individual body.
#4. They Bring a Special Knowledge Base If you are unsure of how to use certain machines or how to work out on your own, your personal trainer can help you during your solo workouts. In addition, they can give you advice about proper nutrition, supplements and techniques to stave off hunger and increase your energy. Your personal trainer has trained many other people before you and can offer you insider tips that will help you get into the best shape you can be.
#5 Trainers are More Affordable Than You Think Some people think that personal trainers are only for the wealthy. In many Toronto gyms and fitness centers, personal fitness trainers offer low rates and package deals that will not break the bank. Refer a friend and get an even better rate.

Farmers Branch Fitness Trainer
Your choice of a Farmers Branch fitness trainer was a wise one. You signed up for the sessions with this personal training professional and made the commitment to getting your body back into shape. But while a Farmers Branch fitness trainer can help you with new routines and fitness advice, most of the hard work is up to you.
You're the key to your own success
Though it may seem like a Farmers Branch fitness trainer is going to be giving you the information you need ?and they will ?you still need to take this advice to heart. Without your action and your response to this quality advice, you will not be able to reap the advantages of this relationship. You need to be ready to follow through on your plans and your trainer's suggestions.
But how do you become ready for this kind of change? To start, you will want to make sure you are following the advice you are given to the letter. From each rep to set, you will want to follow your trainer's advice to see the results you have talked about with your trainer.
Next, you will want to make sure you are following the exercises as you would in the gym with your Farmers Branch fitness trainer. If you have to do some workouts on your own, you will want to make sure you are doing them so as not to fall behind on your fitness plans.
What your trainer will do
Of course, this doesn't mean that your Farmers Branch fitness trainer is completely without responsibility. They should be giving you advice on new routines to try as well as higher goals to meet. This gradual pushing of your body will help you reach the goals you've set out in the beginning.
Your trainer should be helping you learn the exercises that you need to do on your own. If you have any questions along the way, be sure to ask before you get to your house and are unsure of what to do next.

One Of The Best Exercise For Skiing
Looking forward to the ski season but need to get into shape fast? Well a great general exercise that you can start doing in order to prepare yourself for the upcoming ski season is cycling. Jogging or running might be a good as well if it weren't for the fact that running puts great stresses on the knee and ankles, especially when done on hard surfaces such as concrete.
Cycling, however, avoids those particular stresses and gives you most of the same benefits as running. Not only that, but often, if you don't live too far from work, you can easily include cycling to work as part of your regular exercise routine.
If you plan on participating in winter sports such as skiing, getting into a good exercise routine before winter is especially important for older adults. Studies have shown that as we age, our muscles tend to shrink. This is especially true among adults who don't exercise.
If you are an active teenager, you don't have as much to worry about. A lot of teenagers who are involved with sports are very active anyway. So, muscle shrinkage is usually not a problem for them. As an adult, however, you want to keep those muscles strong and flexible so that when you are making a sharp turn on the ski slopes or you take a fall, your muscles are in condition to handle the stress.
Cycling is a good exercise for just about anyone. But it is specifically a good training exercise for those who ski because it exercises most of the primary muscles that are use in skiing. The leg muscles are a large muscle group and are the most important muscles used in skiing. Strong leg muscles allow you to make your turns easier, to stop faster, and to go for long distances without tiring.
In addition, if you are brave enough to ski moguls, strong leg muscles are a must. Look at any serious cyclist and you will see that the common factor among them is strong legs. Cycling helps to build up those necessary leg muscles.
Cycling also exercises some of the lesser used skiing muscles. As you pedal, you also are exercising the muscles in your abdomen and back. If you are not in shape, you will definitely feel a soreness in your lower stomach muscles after a long day of skiing. Cycling helps to tone up and strengthen both your stomach and lower back muscles so that they are used to strain once you put on the skis and take your first trip down the mountain.
If you live in a cold weather environment, you may find it hard to bike outdoors as the fall season ends. Luckily, there are plenty of stationary bikes that can give you much of the same benefits.

Cardiovascular Exercise
Whether your goal is to lose weight, relieve stress, or just be healthier, cardiovascular exercises are undoubtedly the most important kind of exercise. These exercises are called cardiovascular because they exercise the heart and lungs, boosting oxygen transportation and consumption. This article will explore the many different kinds of cardiovascular exercises, both indoor and outdoor.
Indoor Cardio
Ideally we spend more time outside, particularly when exercising, but unfortunately we cannot always get outside. Luckily, then, there are many indoor options for cardiovascular exercises, many different machines which simulate activities you might find yourself doing outside where you have room to move around.
Elliptical Trainer: These are machines which simulate jogging or running by letting your knees bend and legs move back and forth without actually bringing your feet off the ground. Many people must use the elliptical trainer instead of jogging because the impact of running can cause problems for their knees. Since you never have to take your feet of the machine, there is no impact on your knees and you can experience a very comfortable, low impact running experience.
Exercise Bike: Just like the elliptical trainer, exercise bikes are great for people who cannot put too much stress on their legs. Most exercise bikes have adjustable resistance, so you can get a pretty strenuous workout while youe sitting in one spot watching TV.
Rowing Machines: These machines are often overlooked but they provide a tremendous way to improve your cardiovascular strengthen as well as strengthen the muscles in your arms, legs, chest and abs. These machines simulate the movements involved in a rowing a boat, which is something many of us have no way of actually doing. If youe doing cardiovascular exercise to lose weight, then the rowing machine should be of particular interest to you because it not only burns a lot of calories but the abdominal aspect of it will help you lose belly fat and tone your stomach simultaneously.
Stair Climbing: There are machines that stimulate climbing stairs, but if wee talking about indoor activities, climbing real stairs also applies. The great thing about climbing stairs is how easily it can be incorporated into your daily routine. Many of us take countless elevator rides every single day, you can imagine how opting for the stairs can really add up to some significant calorie burning over the course of an entire day, week, or month. You don need to always take the stairs, but the more times you can fit a little bit of cardiovascular exercise into your day the better off you are.
This is probably the most important tip to cardiovascular exercise; we are surrounded by conveniences and luxuries that allow us to exercise less than we otherwise have to. By refusing some of these modern conveniences you can burn a lot of calories without actually having to take a chunk of time out of your day to exercise. This could mean getting off the bus a few stops early, taking the stairs, skipping the moving sidewalks at the airport, walking on the escalators, or hand-delivering a letter.
Outdoor Cardio
Swimming: Wel start with swimming because this is undoubtedly the most well-rounded and effective cardio exercise. This could also qualify as an indoor activity, though it is often much more invigorating to swim out on a lake or ocean. Swimming for just twenty minutes a day can burn up to five hundred calories, and it exercises all kinds of muscles that you don normally use. Many people like to swim in the morning because it a great way to get some exercise in before youe worn out from the day, and it really wakes you up and gets you focused on the day ahead.
Walking: It was already mentioned how getting off the bus a few stops early can be a good way to incorporate a little exercise. Walking is actually a deceptively good exercise, many people think you need to be running to be exercising but going for a brisk walk can burn significant calories. Therefore if you don have recourse to incorporate walking into your normal routine you should book off some time to go for a brisk walk through a park. Either way, walking gives you that little bit of exercise that you need every day to maintain your cardiovascular health. Walking also provides a really valuable time to get away from the rigors of your day and have some time to yourself to think things over, or it could be a time to have a long conversation with a friend or family member.
Other obvious types of outdoor cardio involve running and cycling, though the same principles basically apply to these as to the indoor versions. For cycling it is important to keep your back straight and not to overly strain your legs, you may want to confirm with a fitness or cycling expert that you have your bike adjusted properly. Running is the classic cardio exercise, and doesn require much explanation except to note that running on hard surfaces such as concrete can be tough on the knees; running on grass has the benefit of being softer. You could also try running on sand, this provides a very challenging run and is relatively soft on the knees. One last thing about running is that you should avoid high traffic areas. Breathing in car exhaust as youe running should definitely be avoided if possible as this can defeat the purpose of a nice outdoor run.
While cardiovascular exercises are vital to the maintenance of good health remember that weight training is also essential to physical fitness. Opt for three cardio sessions a week and another two weight training days if possible. If youe pressed for time though you can always try to fit in a little cardio and weight training in the same sessionust be sure not to overdo it.

While cardiovascular exercises are vital to the maintenance of good health remember that weight training is also essential to physical fitness. Opt for three cardio sessions a week and another two weight training days if possible. If youe pressed for time though you can always try to fit in a little cardio and weight training in the same sessionust be sure not to overdo it.

AN EXERCISE IN HUMILITY
Peter 5:5 Clothe yourselves, all of you, with humility toward one another, for "God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble."
When the Children of Israel entered Canaan, their Almighty God asked them to sanctify the land from all forms of idolatry. They were to ruthlessly and zealously destroy temples, shrines and groves; even sacred trees were to be cut down and burned. If there is anything God is intolerant of, it is idolatry. He is indeed a jealous God who does not allow us to have divided loyalties.
It is important to notice though that this commandment specifies n the Land?and n that place?(Deuteronomy 12:1-3). It is therefore not incumbent on us to start destroying and defacing idolatrous structures that are not in Israel The only other place where it is pertinent for us to rid ourselves of idols and idolatrous practices is our hearts, and by extension, our homes. The difficulty with that is that it is often much easier to see the idolatry on others that it is in ourselves.
Our nature is such that we have a natural tendency to mercifully analyze and rationalize ourselves to ourselves. To see our own lifestyle in its proper perspective requires the same instrument as the one we use to see if our face is clean: a mirror. And in the case of our lifestyle, the irror?is the Torah (James 1:23-24). Religion defined by Torah lifestyle is clean from idolatry, but religion away from Torah becomes idolatrous.
The other problem is that Torah today is in the form of a written text. One culture usually defines his worldview and perspective, which in turn defines his understanding of any written text. To see ourselves as we truly are therefore takes the irror?of Torah, but in the form of a brother or a sister (Proverbs 27:17). This brother or sister whom the Holy Spirit will use and speak through in the same manner it spoke through Balaam donkey (Numbers 22:28) is usually someone just like ourselves who sees the wrong in us more than in himself. This alls makes for a perfect match because it also requires us to learn submissive humility, which in itself is a pertinent exercise against stubborn and prideful and therefore idolatrous rebellion (1 Samuel 15:23). Many of us don mind if God descends from His Great Place to talk to us in a vision or a dream about our problems (that actually feeds our pride), but He usually doesn do that; most of the time, He likes to use the agency of an imperfect brother or sister.
This reminds me of Naaman, the leprous Syrian general. First, his wife young Jewish slave advised him to seek healing from Elisha, the prophet in enemy country. When he arrived there (having first tried to see the king), Elisha would not even see him; he just sent his servant to tell him to go bathe in the dirty Jordan River. Proud Naaman took offense to the whole thing. It is again his own servant who had to bring him to his senses (2 Kings 5).
May we learn to look in the Torah in our brothers and sisters. May we, as the apostle says, e quick to hear, slow to speak (James 1:19).

Motivate Yourself And Gain Muscles-10 Minute Trainer
If you live in one of the colder climates, then the approaching summer season is a sign for you to get your body active again.10 Minute Trainer The cold, dark winters of the northern climates have really put our bodies into a slower gear. The exercise routines that we used in the summer to keep us in tip top shape have been stored away. With the colder temperatures, come the lethargic feelings. The cold weather makes it so easy for us to make excuses for not going out to get some exercise. Excuses are so easy and will come to you whether you are a newbie to working out or an experienced weight lifter.
Excuses 101
Here are a but a few of the many excuses that people have used over the years, think back on whether you have used them as well.
1. Are you kidding, its freezing outside!
2. I just don't feel like it!
3. I worked my body really hard this summer and I'm due for some time off!
4. How can I work out when my life is so busy?
5. One missed workout can't hurt me.
Don't kid yourself, these are just typical excuses. All you need right now is just some good old exercise. Why not just ignore the voice in your head, get your body moving and you will maintain your body's great shape all year round. You need to remember that KEEPING yourself in shape is way easier than STARTING to get into shape.
Action Is Required

With the number of different programs that are available, there will always be one that will work for you and help you build that much needed muscle.
First step complete, you have your program, what's next? Now you need to determine where in your home you are going to start your training. Not everyone can use or would prefer to go to a gym. These people can either work out in their basements or their garages. Key point here is that the location isn't important, the fact that you are working out is.
Set Aside Some Time For Training
Print out a calendar or even hand draw one. We all lead busy lives, we just need to adapt our busy schedules. Let your family know that the times you have chosen are for you and your workouts. These need to be respected. By booking off your workout times, you are telling others that this is your time for training.

Playground Back and Biceps Workouts-10 Minute Trainer
Are you stuck on the road, or at home with your children, and
unable to hit the gym on back and biceps day? 10 Minute Trainer Fear not. Here you will
discover a quick and painless way to hit your latissimus dorsi, the
muscles of the back, and really nail down some width. All you will need
is a playground with a hanging chin bar or monkey bar.
The first movement you'll be completing will be wide grip pull ups. These will saturate the muscles of the back with blood and really bring some 'pop' out of your back group. You will want to complete a total of 50 repetitions for your back. You can use as many, or as few, sets as you'd like to achieve this goal. It might be ten sets of 5 reps. Then 5 sets of ten reps. Then 2 sets of 25 repetitions. Soon, you might be able to knock out 50 repetitions in a single set of pull ups. If and when that day arrives, it's probably time to bump up your repetitions to 100 or 150.
Next you will complete a movement that Lee Haney made famous, after Lee Haney's back made Lee Haney famous! 10 Minute Trainer This movement involves grabbing the bar as if you were going to complete a pull up, and then hanging with your back muscle flexed for several minutes. You'll want to complete a total of 10 minutes of hanging flexing action, broken into as many chunks as required.
The final movement, as you might imagine will be under grip chin ups for biceps. You'll be completing 100 of these movements, as they are easier than the overhand grip variety that you completed for your back. With each repetition, flex your biceps and work to feel the full extent of the movement. Don't shortcut your success by swinging your legs at all. Keep your form as perfect as possible. Remember that it doesn't mean a thing, if it's got that swing! Flex and feel is everything when it comes to flexing the biceps.
That's it. Three exercises for as long as you can handle them. You'll just be using your bodyweight (or the weight of any of your children that you can convince to hang from your legs), so the importance of using high repetitions cannot be denied. Training in a gym will always be preferable to this, but life often takes away training time. When this happens, stop at the playground and spend 20 minutes on a quick back and biceps workout!10 Minute Trainer

The Ten Things I Love About Weight Training
I remember being one of the lankiest kids on the planet, or so I
thought anyway. In junior high school and high school, it was the same
thing. Girls would think of me as the good friend, but never anything
more than that. I was just the typical nice guy, who did his work.
Let's just say I wasn't considered the coolest of people in school. But I
guess being the lanky, nerdy kid gets a bit old after a while. I really
wanted to know how to gain muscle FAST! I wanted to be athletic like
the football players or the wrestlers. I wanted girls to look at me the
way they looked at those guys.
I was always shy kid, but I became even shier in my teenage years because of a disorder called gynecomastia. It's often a hormonal condition that results in males developing breast tissue. For some, gynecomastia can be a temporary side effect of puberty. Unfortunately mine, wasn't temporary, it lasted until my early twenties. I was teased, pinched, and laughed at. It's really a blow to your pride when people poke fun at you for something you can't control. My parents would tell me to ignore it, but my parents nor my siblings had to deal with the constant jeering.
One summer, I finally got so sick of being teased that my frustrations led me to take action. Dad had a weight set, and I think I used it almost everyday that summer. I discovered the magic secret, the best way to build muscle. Do you know what that secret was? HARD WORK! I gained so much solid, fat-free muscle (a good amount of this muscle went straight to my chest) that summer, that I have stretch marks to this very day.
Upon returning to school, my confidence was through the roof! It was after that summer that I became a weight lifting junkie. I was looking at every weight training magazine I could get my hands on, I became fascinated with training programs, lifting technique, and supplements.
Sure, weight training was a great, temporary self-esteem booster, but eventually weight training (along with karate) became something that I grew to love. These days, whether people notice my body or not, I train now because it's a part of me now. I train mostly because I love it.
What exactly do I love about weight-training and exercise? So many things. Though I could probably make a list of 100 reasons, but I'll give you ten of the top reasons I love weight training:
1. Hard Work Equals Results- You ever been at a dead end job before? You work your behind off only to find that no matter how much time you put in, your pay never changes. I like weightlifting, because hard work and results are directly related. If you're putting in the time, honestly pushing yourself, your body is going to get stronger, your physique is going to change. It's beautifully simplistic.
2. Training Regulates my Schedule- Call me crazy but, when I am on my exercise routine, and I stick to it, I find that I have more time to do other things, because I plan for them.
3. I Like Looking at Myself Naked - Okay maybe this reason sounds perverted at worst and a little vain at best, but I can't be the only one who feels this way. I think it's a great feeling to see new lines and cuts in your musculature when you hop out of the shower and stand in the mirror. It's great!
4. I Like People Touching Me- Wait, this one also sounds perverted. I promise I'm not a sicko.
There's not really a whole lot to add to this one, but if you're training, and your muscles are pumped it's gratifying when people squeeze your arms or touch your chest and ask if you've been training. Um, it's especially gratifying for me when some hot lady I work with does it...I'm just saying.
5. The Feeling of Accomplishment- I'll never forget how strong I felt when I bench pressed 225 pounds for the very first time. It was the exercise that I was most afraid to do. All the big guys could lift that weight, but not me. When it finally happened, I thought to myself..."HELL YEAH!!"
6. Mindset Shifting- After bench pressing 225 pounds for the first time, there was this "Now what?" moment. In that moment, I realized that maybe it was possible for me to do more. I kept training, and I can now bench press 225 lbs 14 times without a spotter. To some advanced lifters that may not sound like much, but another cool thing about weightlifting is that it's a personal journey. When you get impossible out of your head, it's amazing what you can accomplish.
7. Enhanced Mental Function- When I'm exercising regularly, I find that I can focus better, that I read more, and my brain even produces more ideas.
8. Energy Boost - If you're just starting out, Immediately after a workout, your muscles can be spent and you can feel pretty worn out. But if you've been working out consistently for a while, you may notice that your body has more energy than it did before. Your muscles aren't tiring as easily. You feel like you have the energy to take on the world. Stick to those training plans...it does pay off!
9. Sexual Drive - I don't know if this is necessarily because of the weight training, but I think it is. When I'm sticking to my exercise plan, for some reason, my libido hits a ceiling. Now if I can just get a girlfriend...
10. Builds Self-Discipline- I'll level with you, there are days when I don't want to go to the gym. Perhaps it's because of a long day at work, or just downright laziness. But nine times out of ten, going to the gym when I'm not feeling up to it really makes me feel like I've accomplished something big. I feel fantastic afterwards. Going when I don't feel like it makes it easier to go the next time the fatigue hits.

What Is Strength Training, And What Does It Do For You?
Just what is strength training? Lifting an enormous barbell?
Doing cable incline pushdowns to work your "lats"? Pulling on a colored
rubber tube? Lifting your legs repetitively? Squeezing your knees
together so hard your face turns red? All of these.
Movement which demands your muscles to work against outside resistance will certainly build up some muscle, bone, tendon, or ligament. Done consistently, extended periods of resisted motion is a strength training. Do it 3 times a week along with stretching and aerobic workouts, and you have a full health and fitness program.
Any sort of good health program includes strength training as an essential part. It keeps your lean muscle mass as it begins to turn to fat around age 30. It replaces slow-burning fat with muscle that takes 7 to 10 times as many calories daily--therefore keeping more fat at bay. Strength training improves your metabolism. The increased metabolism serves to manage many chronic illnesses. The boosted metabolic rate in addition helps your mental function. Strength training builds up bones and balance to prevent or moderate falls.
There are several forms of strength training. Only isometrics are problematical. Isometrics only strengthen muscles in the exact position of the isometric force. In addition, it boosts blood pressure--dangerous for those with cardiac or stroke risks.
The resistance needed by strength training is most typically provided by gravity with the use of increasingly massive free weights to work all body parts. Barbells are large and can be unsafe--it's easy to lose control--but are good for the heavier range. They need a good deal of room for the bench and storage racks. A gym with a spotter is the best place to use these.
More common are dumbbells. These can be utilized at your home or in the office. They use much less space, and are much safer. Unfortunately, to continue a strength training program, you will need to graduate to ever heavier weights, calling for many more dumbbells and much more room.
An easy, space-saving option to standard dumbbells are the Bowflex SelectTech 1090 and Bowflex SelectTech 552 dumbbells. Both allow you to dial the weight you want: put the handle in the rack, twist knobs at the ends of the handle, and a clip will move to pick up the weight you specified. The SelectTech 1090 provides weights from 10 to 90 pounds--hence the number--and the SelectTech 552 gives you weights from 5 to 52 pounds. One or the other will be sufficient for all your years of weight training--unless you are a professional athlete or body builder. "Weight training" is strength training making use of gravity to supply the resistance.
Also convenient are the resistance bands or tubes. Each color has a different resistance, with lighter colors having less resistance and darker, more. As you progress, you will get a rainbow of colors. Light resistance training is good for recovery from injuries. However, it can be a significant and required alternative for even the most advanced strength trainers. You will definitely have to vary your program a minimum of every 3 weeks to prevent "accommodation"--where your body stops using as much energy or building muscles for the same activity.
You can learn for yourself what strength training is and what its rewards are by stretching resistance bands or lifting your own body's weight or dumbbells at home or using the barbells and workout equipment in a fitness center.
Movement which demands your muscles to work against outside resistance will certainly build up some muscle, bone, tendon, or ligament. Done consistently, extended periods of resisted motion is a strength training. Do it 3 times a week along with stretching and aerobic workouts, and you have a full health and fitness program.
Any sort of good health program includes strength training as an essential part. It keeps your lean muscle mass as it begins to turn to fat around age 30. It replaces slow-burning fat with muscle that takes 7 to 10 times as many calories daily--therefore keeping more fat at bay. Strength training improves your metabolism. The increased metabolism serves to manage many chronic illnesses. The boosted metabolic rate in addition helps your mental function. Strength training builds up bones and balance to prevent or moderate falls.

Learn How To Dunk By Training With Resistance
Are weights really even needed in order to jump higher or to learn how to dunk? Well let's take a quick look right here. Why do we even use weights? What's the purpose of training with weights? A lot of people say they don't want to use weights for training and let's understand why we would train with weights, if we would even have a need of weights for training to jump higher.
What weights provide to our bodies is a form of resistance, so what we really need is not weights what we want is the resistance. I'm not saying we shouldn't use weights because they help the process of placing resistance and stress on the muscles, on the body, and on the systems of the body.
Jump Higher With Different Forms Of Resistance
We are going to talk about how resistance does two main things. One, weights put tension on the muscle and two, they help send electrical impulses throughout the muscles. The tension causes the body to create more strength, and the electrical impulses teach the body to recruit more strength and muscle fibers, both needed for training how to dunk. So that is why we would use weights because it is a form of resistance, but there are lots of forms of resistance that can be used.
Train Your Body How To Dunk
You can use elastic to train your body how to dunk. You can use your own body weight by way of using one leg, increases the resistance per diameter of muscle fiber, so you can use one leg to create more resistance. You can also increase the velocity that you are moving, in order to increase the resistance and tension on the muscle. There are a lot of ways that you can increase the resistance on your muscles.
Weights are the easy way but perhaps not the best way to train how to dunk. I like to use elastic resistance and I also like to use higher velocities to create that resistance and create that electrical impulse through the muscles in order to jump higher.
So do you need weights to jump higher or to learn how to dunk? Every individual is going to have to decide. It is a very easy way to make a calculated stress on the body and to increase that stress by using weights to provide that resistance and also provide that electrical impulse that is so necessary to creating a training affect to learn how to dunk and how to jump higher. I hope that answers some of your questions and kind of clarifies of why we need weights in order to learn how to dunk.

Why Protein Is Essential for Your Gain in Muscle - Do This and Gain
TOP 5 Reasons to Drink Protein Shakes
1.) Man Cannot Live by Food Alone
sometimes it's hard to get all the nutrients we need by devouring whole foods. Munching can be an exhausting and time-consuming pursuit; particularly for those trying to add muscle weight. Supplementing the diet with protein drinks is an easy way to get the calories we need through "between-meal" protein supplementation. After all, who has time to sit down to eat 8 meals a day?
2.) Keeps Nutrition Honest
Rather than reaching for whatever snack is achievable on the road or in an accessory store, having packets of protein in your car, purse or workout bag prevents you from reaching for the wrong foods in times of hunger. Healthier to reach for a protein shake than an empty-calorie candy bar!
3.) Maintains Stable Blood Sugar Levels
Unlike carbohydrates, which affect blood sugar drastically, protein keeps blood sugar levels constant and steady during the day. In the presence of foods higher in carbohydrates, protein acts as a stabilizer that regulates blood sugar and prevents it from get-ting out of hand.
4.) Keeps Metabolism Fired up!
Each time you absorb protein, your metabolic rate builds slightly. Keeping an enduring flow of small amounts of protein going from end to end your day, keeps your body's boiler naturally fired up. It's a great weight loss tool, and great tool for keeping the construction blocks of muscle flowing through your body.
5.) Convenience
New individualized "meal" pouches allow people to take their shake on the road. And because most mix with water, not milk or juice, it's as easy as finding a glass to drink it from.
Muscle is the key word here because the amount of muscle that you have directly affects your metabolism, not to refer your looks. The lean and hard figure that men desire as well as the tight and muscled look that women want can both be achieved by adding more muscle. The way to boost more muscle is to strivingout with weights, absorb adequate amounts of protein from end to end the day, and get enough rest. (Note to women: Strivinging out with weights will not make you "bulky." Testosterone causes men to get that big, bulky look. Women, by definition, do not have enough "test" to get that way. By putting on more muscle, you will improve your metabolism and look more like a health model than a bodybuilder.)
Let me explain how this works:
Aggressive to common belief, you do not build muscle when you workout. When you lift weights, you are actually breaking down your muscle tissue. Immediately after working out, your body begins to restore and recover. It does this by taking protein and breaking it down into individual amino acids, then reconfiguring them and placing them wherever they need to go. Instead of just reassembly your muscle back to normal, your body super compensates. That means you will be riseing muscle. This is what happens if you have enough protein in your system. On the other hand, if you don't have enough protein, your body goes into a catabolic state.
unluckily, the catabolic state is what happens to most people. In this capacity, your body does not have enough protein to fix, so it begins to break down your present muscle to doctor what was broken down in the gym. unmistakably, this is not productive. It is also the reason why so many people don't get the results they want and get disillusioned with working out. Fortunately, you can avoid this common fault by simply taking in an adequate amount of protein each and every day. Figuring out what an "adequate" amount of protein is for your body is fairly simple. For a woman, it is anywhere from a gram to a gram and a half of protein per pound of bodyweight per day. For example, a 130 lb women would take her bodyweight (130), times 1.5 and divide that by 6 (you should ingest at least 5 smaller meals per day, but preferably 6-7).
So it would go like this: 130 x 1.5 = 195. 195 grams of Protein per day divided by 6 meals = 32.5 grams of Protein per meal.
For a 200-pound man, it would figure like this: 200 x 1.5 = 300. 300 divided by 6 = 50 grams of Protein per meal. Now, without you have the time to pre-prepare your meals and take them with you, consuming this many times will be next to impossible. That's why protein supplements are essential. Out of all the brands that I carry, the MaxPro is the best high-protein, low carb shake, bar none. It comes in four great flavors and easily mixes in a shaker cup. It has a very thin consistency and tastes awesome with none of that "chalky" aftertaste.
Why should I eat more often if I'm trying to displace weight?
Shouldn't I eat less? Not at all. Probably the utmost blunder that people make who are trying to drop body fat is to not eat enough. The human body is considered to be fed every three to four hours; that's how our metabolism burns. By eating only twice or three times a day, you are putting your body into a fast state. When it is in this state, it is in storage mode. That means if you wait longer than 4 hours to eat, you're body is more than likely to store the meal as body fat, even if it is a good meal. On the other hand, if you eat every 4 hours, and your meal is in the right ratio of macronutrients (which means higher protein, lower carbs and lower fat), your metabolism will be kicked into high gear for the abdominal cuts diet you are looking for.
Here is an analogy I use to illustrate my point: You have just lit two fires. On one fire, you toss a big fat log and let it sit for a couple of hours. The second fire, however, you feed foot long chunks of fire-wood into it every 20 minutes or so. Now, which fire is going to burn hotter and more efficiently? Noticeably, the fire that you are constantly feeding with the right fuel. You'll still have half the log left over with the front fire by the time it is dead, while the second fire is hot enough to melt glass. As far as your body is concerned, the "log" that is left over represents what remains of that big meal you ate and will now be stored as fat.
Earlier, I said that having more muscle will lead to a faster metabolism. This is because the only thing that powers your body is muscle. Every action from walking to breathing and even blinking is powered by muscle. Muscle is the only part of your body that burns calories, so the more muscle you have, the higher your metabolism will be, period. That means eve n sitting on your butt, doing nothing, you will burn quite a few more calories if you have five more pounds of muscle than you do now. Conversely, if you have less muscle mass, your metabolism will be slower.
This leads me back to what a "fast state" is. When you are in this state, it means you have not fed your body for at least four hours. After the four hours are up, as I pointed out earlier, your body tends to store whatever food hasn't been used for energy now as energy for emergencies (which is body fat). Now, whatever energy you have for whatever you do is being supplied by muscle mass. Yes, your body is now sacrificing brain tissue, internal organs, skin and muscle mass to supply you with the energy that you need to get through your day. Talk about a vicious circle! Not only are you depriving your body of the protein it needs to build and restore what you destroyed in the gym, but your storing record amounts of body fat and permanently lowering your metabolism by breaking down precious muscle mass and using it for energy! And it's not even that great of an energy source. You will find that, once you expand your protein intake, you will sleep better, recover faster, and have TONS of energy!

If You Want To Start Your Own Gymnasium Then Go For Used Exercise Equipment To Save Money
A personal gym, which can be used as a business, sounds like a good idea for many family and friends who have enough money to invest in the space for starting up a gym. The exercise equipment is the first thing which comes to mind when you think of a gymnasium. It is recommended that if you want to start your own gymnasium then you should go for used fitness equipment in order to save money.
First determine what the main objectives are for your gym. Once you have that settled, estimate the total cost by browsing the market prices online and tallying them with your budget. This will give you an idea as to how much you will be spending on the gym. What will be the requirements if you want others to use your facilities? Purchasing used fitness equipment in no way means using poor quality equipment. Exercise equipment is often given away right after purchase because they are rarely used in some homes and businesses.
A proper running gym will require floor space, rent and electricity along with phone lines and salaries for employees who will work for you. It is up to you how many trainers you hire for your gym depending on the various exercise equipment you purchase. The used fitness equipment will be utilized in the maximum possible way and you should get a very good return on your money if you buy the equipment in good working condition.
The used items can also help in identifying how the trainees will use the equipment. In this case, it is better to buy second hand equipment rather than new because it will be more disappointing to waste money on repairing the new kit. The used equipment can be used as an experimental phase. It can also be a good for the clients as the moving parts in the equipment become more elastic and convenient to move as compared to the new equipment which can be hard to function in the beginning.
The best way to run a gym is to make sure you put up a board and distribute pamphlets once the basic procedure of setting up the machines and the administrative stuff is complete. People might want to call and find out about your charges. You will have to conduct good research of the average charges at a gym in your locality. In order to keep a control on the kind of clients who visit you, you can introduce a monthly membership which will test their commitment. Then you can also maintain a fixed price for a long period without any packages so that your own clients are defined. The criteria can be altered once you have established your business after a couple of years, as it will not only help you improve your quality but also keep a check and balance from the very beginning. The best way to save money is to go for used exercise equipment to start with. You can always change the policy later and maintain your own standards.
Every year more and more people make a commitment to become fitter and often they will want to join a gym in order to achieve this. Setting up a gym can be very profitable but the initial cost of the exercise equipment can be high. Go for used fitness equipment to save money. It is easy to find good fitness machines that have been little used and are in very good condition and look like new. The clients will never know they are used and everybody will be happy.
