I can see it now, people are going to be lined up at their local tanning salon, telling the clerk they need to start building some muscle. Well, let me save you from stares of confusion from the salon owners. You're not going to build muscle from sun tanning. But the cause and effect relationship between the sun and tanning perfectly illustrates a point I want to make about working out too much. I must get 3 or 4 emails each day from people wanting to know why they're not building muscle as fast as they'd...

If you are lucky enough to get a reasoned...

Dieting More is Not Better

Exercising too hard This is probably the most common mistake. As Americans we think if some is good more is better. And with physical activity, as I like to call it, this is completely not true. A couple of things you need to know first. Your Metabolism rate is the speed at which your body converts sugar and fat into energy for daily use. The higher your metabolism rate, the faster your body burns fat cells. One of the largest influencing factors on your metabolism rate is the amount of muscle you have. Generally speaking the more muscle you have the higher your metabolism rate. So you want to gain or at least keep muscle and loose the fat. That is the goal. The more muscle the more fat...

Eating To Gain Mass

This is usually the forgotten element of most mass programs. Food. The truth is, no one will gain muscle without food. It seems so simple and basic, yet most don't get enough of it to build muscle. Dieting for muscle gain is simply a matter of eating. You must eat more calories than your body burns off. Now, when I say eat, I do not mean just anything. All calories are not created equal. In other words, some types of calories are not equal to others for gaining muscle. For example, if I said that you need to eat 2,000 calories per day to gain weight, and you eat 4 bags of potato chips each day, do you think you would gain muscle? Not likely. The majority of your weight...

Overdoing Supplements At A Young Age

I was looking up information on Nitric Oxide supplements when I came across the following comment from Jon Dermure of Ohio in a supplement review. I didnt find it amusing at all. hey dudes... nitrix is by far the best supplement i've ever taken. i am 13 years old and im staking nitrix with cellmass, no-xplode, and axis (too boost testosterone). my dad says when i get into high school i can stack it with ephedra to burn fat and biuild muscel simotaniously. my max bench has soared from 80 lbs to 125 for 3 reps. i strongly suggest stacking all these for maximum results. Yes, weight training can indeed be beneficial to young individuals but Jon Dermure is taking it a bit too far I think....

Burn Fat While You Sleep Forget It

Please don't be taken in by ads that claim theit product will cause you to burn fat instead of sugar while you sleep. Even if the pills worked, you burn so few calories during sleep that it is irrelevant whether you are burning sugar or fat. Your body burns primarily fat and sugar for energy. The harder you exercise, the more sugar your muscles use. You use the lowest percentage of fat when you exercise and the highest percentage when you sleep. Your body converts fat into sugar and sugar into fat, so the crucial factor is how many calories you burn, and not whether you burn more fat or sugar. For example, the average 150 pound person burns about 60 calories an hour during...

The Only Way To Gain Muscle

In order to gain any amount of muscle or strength, you must subject that muscle to overload. To continue making gains, you must continue to increase the amount of overload you place on each muscle group over time. This progressive increase in resistance is the only way to gain muscle mass. The greater the amount of resistance you place on a muscle, the larger that muscle will become, provided you get the proper nutrients needed for muscle growth to occur. Progression of this resistance is what causes muscle gains to keep happening. If you keep lifting the same amount of weight, your muscles have no reason to get any bigger. They can already handle that weight. There...

How To Start A Muscle Building Program

Beginning a muscle building program can be a little confusing, since there's so much information out there. There are so many opinions floating around and most of them come from people who are not even qualified to give you advice. So if you're just starting out yourself, you really want to take the time to learn how to weight train and work out correctly. If not, you'll have to "undo" alot of stuff you've done. So, no matter what you do, learn correctly the first time. I feel that one of the main factors people don't stick with their muscle building routine is a lack of guidance in the beginning. They have no idea where to begin, so they get discouraged before they give...

Weight Loss Exercise Comes in Many Forms

Every time one turns on the television or browses the internet, there is a bombardment of weight loss scams and tricks. Because of advertisement, people believe that weight loss can come in the form of a pill or surgery. Pills are often just dangerous caffeine dosages in an attempt to curve hunger. Surgery though it is technically a fat removal, carries with it dangerous risks and does not improve the condition of one’s heart or muscles. Watching what one is consuming is definitely an EXCELLENT start to a weight loss program. There is no question at all about that. But in order to build muscle and get the heart in the best shape possible, exercise is needed. There are several weight loss...

Myth of Spot Reduction

One of my on-going projects for Men's Fitness magazine is to find out the truth behind the numerous fat loss myths that you hear about in the gym every day. Here's one of my past columns... If I told you that there was one secret exercise that could magically reduce the fat from one of your trouble spots, then I'd be lying. Fat burning isn't like building muscle. When you strength train to build muscle, you only make gains in the specific muscles that were trained ('spot gaining'). But no exercise has the ability to burn fat from one specific area only (also known as 'spot reducing'). When you exercise, you burn fat from all over your body. Doing ab crunch after ab crunch won't help you...

Women Who Lift Weights Turn Into Men

There's a big myth that women have to train different then men. They don't. They can lift weights, do the same exercise, build a little muscle, become stronger and still be 100% female. Building muscle isn't all that easy right? You don't just do some weights and have a 21" inch arms the next month. My point is... Women can do the same things as men do. And even lift heavy if they desire to grow muscle rather then maintain. A little muscle tone is not a bad thing right? And the only way to grow muscle is to stimulate it. I'm not suggesting females go bench 315 lbs tomorrow but there's no need to grab the pink weights and do 100 reps either while they sit there looking...

The Four Most Important Factors For Building Muscle Fast

First, I want to make sure that there is no confusion with the title of the article. When I say “building muscle fast”, fast is relative in comparison to the rate at which you will build muscle if the muscle-building factors I am going to discuss are not in place. The fact is building new muscle is NOT a fast process. It takes weeks, months, and years of hard work and dedication, both inside and outside of the weight room. This slow “rate of return” on muscle-building is one of the main reasons people give up on building muscle all together. We live in a society where if we want something we want it RIGHT NOW. Well, a lean muscular body just cannot be obtained that quickly. Building...

The Basics Of Working Out And Building Muscle

There are certain steps you must take in your workouts if you're looking to build muscle, lose fat, and increase your strength. Before engaging in any form of weight training, do some kind of warm-up for 5 minutes prior to hitting the weights. You do not want to start cold. You will not be as strong or as energetic. Start your first exercise with a very light, easy set of ten repetitions. Never warm-up to the point of failure or exhaustion. You will be expending much needed energy if you do, energy that will be needed for the last heavy sets. Make sure your workouts are under 45 minutes. This is important for several reasons.

Know Your Bodybuilding Supplement BCAA s

BCAA stands for branched chain amino acids and is increasingly being recognized as an important supplement in the field of sports nutrition. In short the term refers to three essential amino acids - leucine, isoleucine and valine. Amino acids are widely known as the building blocks of protein. When protein food is eaten it gets digested into individual amino acids and short chains of amino acids that are sufficiently small to be absorbed into the bloodstream. They are then used by the body to build and repair tissues amongst other things. Amino acids are split between those classed as essential and those labelled non-essential. This simply means that essential amino acids cannot be made...

You know those conversations you have in your head where you talk yourself out of exercise until you forget the last time you did exercise.

Do Electric Ab Stimulators Really Work

Electronic muscle stimulators are the latest craze, the hottest fad... but you want to know "do they really work!" Right? To answer that question, let’s start with a little background information on what this equipment was originally designed for.

For example, if you broke your leg, the doctor could place an electrode on the muscle and use electricity to make it contract. This would provide a minimum level of stimulation, thus keeping the muscle active. As far as building muscle, such as the ads...

Eating is usually the forgotten element of most mass programs. Food is critical. The truth is, no one will gain muscle without food. It seems so simple and basic, yet most don't get enough of it to build muscle. Dieting for muscle gain is simply a matter of eating. You must eat more calories than your body burns off. Now, when I say eat, I do not mean just anything. All calories are not created equal. In other words, some types of calories are not equal to others for gaining muscle. For example, if I said that you need to eat 2,000 calories per day to gain weight, and you eat 4 bags of potato chips each day, do you think you would gain muscle? Not likely. The majority of your weight would...

Are You Confused By Low Carbs Versus Low Fat

You want good information about nutrition and weight loss, but it is hard to know who to believe. For years all you heard was “low fat.” All the diets were low fat. All the diet foods were low fat. The U.S. Government food pyramid said low fat was the answer. Then suddenly you hear nothing but low carb. You see this with Atkins, South Beach Diet, and many others. They say cut the carbs and the pounds will melt off. It is confusing. But it is even more confusing when you try the low fat diets and they don’t seem to work. And then you try the low carb diets and they don’t work for you either. If you are like most people, “doing Atkins” seems to work for a while, but then it quits working....

2 Ways to Start Burning fat Quickly

1. Start Exercising first thing in the morning. As soon as you wake up in the morning workout for at least 30min to an hour. Studies show that working out in the morning has been shown to burn up to 3x as more fat as opposed to working out at any other time during the day. Here’s Why: During the day your body’s main source of energy is the carbohydrates that you get from eating your meals. As you sleep at night for 6+ hours your body uses up all those carbohydrates as energy for various bodily functions that go on even while you sleep. When you wake up in the morning your body doesn’t have any carbohydrates as energy to use and it will look to burn body fat instead for energy. For...

Ephedra Is It Really Dangerous

It's so difficult to know what to take and what not to take. First, we hear that Ginkgo Biloba is good for our hearts and our brains, then they tell us is causes excessive bleeding, which can be life threatening in some situations---such as taking it prior to surgery. Next it was Kava Kava, an ancient root that has been relaxing islanders for years, and now the media says it causes liver damage. And what about Ephedra? While I have great respect for the medical community at large, I find it frustrating that many natural supplements are being labeled as dangerous when that just isn't the case. Ephedra has suffered the same bad rap. The properties of the Ma Huang plant have been healing...

Do Carb Blocker Starch Blocker Pills Work

*What are carb blocker or starch blocker pills? Drop in to any pharmacy or supermarket and you will see many brands of carb blocker pills for sale. The carb blocker pills or more specifically, starch blocker pills are supposed to block carbohydrate absorption from the food you have eaten for weight management and weight loss purposes. They are generally made from bean and wheat germ extracts especially white kidney beans. Carb blocker pills when taken are supposed inhibit the release of a digestive enzyme called alpha amylase that breaks down starchy carbohydrates. This then prevent carbohydrates or starch from converting into glucose and then to body fat. The unabsorbed...

The Rapid Weight Loss Diet Fact or Fiction

Are there any effective rapid weight loss diets? Most nutritionists agree that any ultra low-calorie diets (that is, anything less than 1000 calories) can affect your body in a negative way. There are ways to help jump start weight loss, however: 1. Eat fruits, vegetables and whole grains. In general, unprocessed and natural foods require more energy to digest and/or leave you feeling satisfied quicker. This will help your body increase metabolism and reduce caloric intake. Avoid refined grains such as rice and white bread. 2. Eat fiber. Fiber helps you feel full faster, longer. The effect is obvious - you eat less. Any doctor worth his/her salt will tell you the most effective way...

Atkins vs Go Carb Diet Which Is Best

In terms of books sold, perhaps the Atkins diet is the most successful of the modern age. It obviously would not be so successful if it did not work and work quickly. However, there are several cons as well as pros to the Atkins Diet, and we shall compare it to the Go-Carb Diet (good old carbohydrate diet), and give you the opportunity to chose for yourself. Due to the notoriety of celebrities using the Atkins diet, and the promotion of the book itself, it has become very well known and widely practiced, at least for a while. The advantages claimed over a Go-Carb diet are: •Not all carbohydrates are disallowed. For example, those rich in dietary fiber are allowed as the fiber is not...

Heart Rate For Weight Loss

Is there a heart rate for losing weight? There is much debate on the answer to this question. Many people say that a moderate heart rate during exercise produces the greatest weight loss. Many other people say that a higher heart rate during exercise produces the greatest weight loss. People who take the moderate heart rate for weight loss approach, try to keep their heart beats per minute within a certain zone. This zone is 60% to 70% of maximum heart rate. Your age determines your zone. I'll do an example of the formula for a 22 year old. 1. Maximum Heart Rate = 220 - Age. For a 22 year old, the maximum heart rate is 198. 2. 198 x .60 = 119, the low end of the zone. 3. 220 x .70 =...

Deadly Bodybuilding Myths You Don t Know Part 2

Bodybuilding Myth #4 Low reps are for size and high reps are for cutting. Your muscles do not have much personality – they are either growing, shrinking or staying the same. If you want your muscle to grow then gradually force your muscles to do more work and outperform your last workout’s performance. If you are content with the size of your muscles right now then this is easy – just keep doing what you are doing. And to make the muscle smaller, this is even easier – simply do not train it. You can not pick certain exercises to get a muscle 'cut' or make a muscle 'huge' - this theory holds no water. Muscle 'cuts' are a reflection of two criteria on the body: pure muscle size...

Weight Loss through Foods that Fight Fat

While exercise and a variety of wholesome foods help will help you lose weight, there are foods that burn calories and suppress hunger.

Body Building Basics Building a better body you can be proud of

There are as many varied opinions on what “plan” one should follow to build muscle, as there are people who have those opinions. On one thing they do agree, however.

Back Exercises Strengthen Your Back

The National Institute of Health has estimated that 4 out of 5 Americans suffer from back pain at some time or the other in their lives. Back pain afflicts a person suddenly and without giving any prior symptoms. When affected, one must use their body's own healing ability to combat the pain, instead of preferring medicines, and strengthen their body through back exercises. Back exercises, such as acupuncture, massage therapy, chiropractic, osteopathic care and certain other physical exercises are safer ways of treating back pain.

Kids and Weight Training When Should They Start

Copyright 2005 Raymond Kelly Weight training and exercise in general can be very beneficial to all children. It increases bone density, increases strength, and improves muscular coordination. In the past many people had concerns about children and exercise but now we are much better informed. What age should they start? This is more of an ethical question. A child can start training with weights at any age, but the real question is: should they? Providing they have a well-designed program and constant supervision by a qualified trainer they will achieve benefits from weight training. But before you do start your child with weights consider what they are trying to achieve. �If it is to...

Lose the Weight the Healthy Way

High-protein diets may not be as bad as they say after all especially if you like to work out and add fiber and complex carbohydrates to the diet. Research at the University of Illinois has shown that a diet rich in lean meat and dairy products can make regular exercise even more effective for losing body fat. I emphasize Lean Meat or Low Fat Protein Supplements such as whey or egg whites. A study found that women who exercised at least 200 minutes per week lost about the same amount of weight whether they ate a high-protein or a high-carbohydrate diet, but the most important finding in this study was almost all the weight lost by those who ate the protein-rich diet was body fat, while...

Want To Know How Healthy You Are Throw Away Your Scale

One of the first things people tell me, when I ask them what their fitness goals are, is that they want to “lose weight”. What the majority of these people mean is that they want to lose FAT! People have become so fixated on what the little number on the scale tells them each day, that some may actually cease their exercise program because the little number says that they have gained a pound. A pound of what? Remember, the simple scale is measuring your total body weight. This includes muscle, fat, bones, organs, undigested food, water, clothing, small children, anything that is in or on your body! Weighing yourself at a different time each day can give you a different result. But you...

Is Swimming Effective For Weight Loss And Tone Muscles

Well, most people think swimming is effective to tone muscles and lose fat and that is why the swimming pools everywhere are always packed in the evenings and weekends. Well, I must first declare that I am not anti-swimming. In fact, I swim regularly. However when I researched materials for my articles, I came across some negative aspects of swimming from the scientific community. Swimming is considered as one of the best exercises to lose weight and also to build and tone muscles. Not surprisingly so because when you swim, all your major muscles are called into action. It also has an aerobic effect, so heart and lungs get a good workout too. However, a research published in the American...
