Fitness training is essential for those who are bent on getting healthy and fit. There are many fitness training tips that you may not know of that can help you in your quest to getting fit and healthy. These fitness training tips are designed to help the athlete or individual to cope with how to maximize the efficiency of their training.

Integrate Different Workouts

For an effective workout, this fitness training tip shows us how to integrate different kinds of exercises to maximize the training. Aerobic exercises, muscle exercise, core stability and stretching are keys to an effective training. Other fitness training tips include starting your training with the aerobic exercise first and then the muscle exercise, followed by the core stability and finally the stretching workout.

Do The Training Exercises In The Morning

Many studies show that those who exercise in the morning do tend to stick to their training regimen more effectively than those who exercise after working hours or in the afternoon. This fitness training tip relies on the fact that most people have more energy in the morning. It is also in the morning that we plan our day, so what better way to start it.

Doing More Than One Set

Many people believe that doing just one set of exercises will suffice to keep them fit and healthy. The reality of it is that you need more than one set to be able to maintain fitness. Of all the fitness training tips, this one makes the most sense. Your body needs to move a lot to be able to effectively train and workout. Most exercises work best when done in two or three sets. The beginner should start with just one set if he or she has no prior experience to fitness training. As the individual gets used to the exercise, the number of sets should then be increased.

More fitness training tips include exercising at home and exercising in the outdoors when possible. Exercising at is best where you cannot make up excuses like the gym is too far or you are too busy or there are too many people using the equipment. Some people love to make up or find ways to avoid exercising even when they know they need it. Exercising outdoors (jogging, walking etc.) will prevent monotony as well as give you the variety needed to fully exert yourself.

These fitness training tips are designed for those who have just started their training or those who have some difficulty trying to stick to their fitness training regimen.

Some moms have a busy lifestyle. They cook, they clean, and they drive their children to classes. They teach, they referee, and the list goes on.

If you’re a mom, you know how to get things done for everyone else, but chances are, you don’t take time to take care of your self. While busy schedules keep moms on the go, moms find themselves without much time for fitness.

School schedules and car pools combined with household tasks and a full-time job don’t leave mom much time for moms to get the full benefits of exercise.

Moms manage to squeeze in dentist appointments for their children and can make time to show up, without a moment to spare, at a class play, mentioned at the last minute. Super mom can somehow manage to find time to do the things she needs to do to successfully manage her schedule, keeping everyone happy.

The “I don’t have time to exercise” isn’t a good excuse. If you really want to find time for fitness and exercise, there are many things you can do.

Finding time to take care of your self, with plenty of rest and exercise, should be one of those things you do for yourself without hesitation. Schedule the time in your day planner or make a note on the dry-erase board your “me-time.” Procrastination is a word that has no meaning for moms when it comes to taking care of your children. The same should apply for making time for fitness.

Diversify your fitness schedule to include solo walks, a quick round of tennis, or horseback riding with the one you love. Be creative in planning your schedule.

If you know on Monday you have to pick up one child at 2:00, but you have to pick the other one up thirty minutes later, make good use of the time between pickups. You could toss your walking shoes in the car, having them ready to slip on when you pick up the child at 2:00. Both of you could take a short walk while you wait for the second child. If your daughter has a practice 25 minutes across town at the high school, you could take your swimsuit and use the school’s swimming pool to swim a few laps. Most schools don’t mind you using the pool if you call ahead. Some offer free swims on certain days of the week. If your son’s football practice is held over 45 minutes, continue walking around the track until you hear him tell you, “Mom, I’m ready to go now.”

The important thing to remember is, because you are a mom, you may have to jump in and take advantage of a thirty-minute window to have time for fitness. Be prepared for those opportunities and learn to expect the unexpected, taking care to use those extra few minutes wisely. The results will amaze you.

The Push-up. It is probably the most basic and most popular exercise of all time – from gym class to group fitness classes around the world. However, the push-up tends to be the undying nemesis for people who carry extra body weight and for most females who feel they do not have the upper-body strength to ever be able to do anything but “wuss-ups,” or modified push-ups on the knees.

The goal of this article is to address everything you need to know about performing the push-up with correct form. Remember, people only hate what they are not good at it. In other words, I am confident that though you may currently hate push-ups, by following these tips you will finally unveil your true push-up potential.

The Benefits

Right next to pull-ups, a push-up is the greatest upper body exercise of all time. In fact, I believe they are one of the best total body exercises around.

Push-ups work primarily your chest, triceps, and front shoulders. However, they also place a great demand on your core stability and strength. After all, your spinal stabilizers (transverse abdominis and spinal erectors) need to have the endurance to maintain that critical straight-line position throughout the duration of your push-ups for optimal safety and performance. In addition, push-ups engage your scapular muscles (shoulder blades) in a way that most pushing exercises do not, thus providing some much needed mid and upper back work that most trainees are missing out on. Furthermore, maintaining the proper position throughout the movement requires that you tense and engage every muscle on the front side of your body from your feet to your shoulders. Heck, if you squeeze your glutes (which you should as this helps protect your lower back), you even get your booty involved!

Finally, push-ups are the ultimate anywhere, anytime exercise that requires nothing but your body-weight and space the size of your frame to perform.

How to Perform a Perfect Push-up

Though nearly everyone reading this has attempted a push-up at some time in his or her life, the vast majority of people have never performed one with a full range of motion using perfect form and technique. If this describes you, don’t sweat it (there was a time when I absolutely sucked at push-ups). It’s not your fault if no one ever taught you how to perform them properly. Let’s face it, you’re gym teacher probably wasn’t much help…

“Alright gimme push-ups NOW! No, not like that, get lower! What’s wrong with you? It’s just a push-up! If you don’t do them right, we’re going to do them all day! I’ve got the time!”

But, what’s done is done. Let’s move on.

Below is a complete list of technique and coaching points regarding how to perform a perfect push-up:

1- Simultaneously tuck your elbows to your sides and pull your shoulders blades down and back: It’s critical to keep your elbows close to your ribcage while performing push-ups. Letting your elbows “sprawl” away from your torso puts your rotator cuff at a much greater risk for injury. In addition, since most of us are so upper trap dominant, we tend to shrug our shoulders during push-ups. This scapular elevation can lead to clicking and grinding of the shoulder (known as shoulder impingement syndrome). To avoid these pitfalls, visualize trying to hug your elbows to your ribcage while cracking a nut between your shoulder blades during all push-ups.

2- Simultaneously suck in your gut and brace your abs: As mentioned earlier, the push-up is a great core exercise that requires good muscular endurance for your deep spinal stabilizers. By pulling your navel to your spine and bracing your abs as if you were about to be kicked in the gut, you will best activate those key core muscles.

3- Simultaneously tense your thighs and squeeze your glutes: The straighter your legs are the more stable you will be. This is easily accomplished by tensing your thighs throughout the exercise. Furthermore, tense your butt cheeks- this helps relax overactive hip flexors, thus alleviating unnecessary strain on the lower back.

4- Power breathing: In general, seek to focus on inhaling during the lowering portion and then forcefully exhaling during the lifting portion. By filling your belly with air during the lowering portion you make it easier to stabilize your spine, meaning that your core remains locked in thus allowing for a smooth and seamless transition from the down position to the up position.

5- Spread your fingers: Many people complain of wrist pain while they do push-ups. This usually stems from a combination of a lack of mobility at the wrist joint and a lack of flexibility of the forearm flexors and extensors. Plus, many people simply have weak wrists from a lack of weight-bearing exercises in their daily routine. Think about it- we do not do as much as we used to do with our hands and are rarely in a position where our wrists our supporting our entire body weight (besides when doing push-ups). One way to take pressure off of your wrists is to focus on spreading your fingers as far apart as possible. This expands the surface area and thus dissipates some of the excess strain on the wrists. Furthermore, doing fist push-ups or push-ups with your hands on a dumbbell tends to significantly alleviate if not eliminate any unwanted wrist issues. This neutral grip allows you get all of the benefits of push-ups so that your wrists do not continue to be the biggest limiting factor for your push-up goals. In addition, the neutral grip also makes it easier to keep your elbows tucked to your sides and shoulders down and back for optimal shoulder safety.

6- Be flat as a diving board: Throughout the entire movement, the key is to maintain a straight line from the heels through the knees, hip and the shoulders. You must not let your hips sag, as this will put undue strain on your lower back in the form of hyperextension. Furthermore, you must avoid raising or “piking” your hips because this not only takes away much needed core work, but also results in a rounding of the upper back that potentially results in unwanted shoulder issues (impingement, rotator cuff strains, etc.).

Well, you now know everything you need to know to safely and effectively perform more push-ups than 99+% of the world. Remember, the less fat you have the better you will be at push-ups, and the more push-ups you can do the better you will look- time to master the push-up!

Have Faith & Take Action!

Have you ever met someone who put your obese physique to shame? Do you feel like less of a man when someone twice your age crushes you at a sport you used to dominate? If so, you owe it to yourself to read on.

Every men has at one point decided that they want to have very little fat and a lot of muscle. The problem is that these goals are rarely reached and you’re left with a lot of fat and no muscle. Read these tips to ensure this doesn’t happen to you.

1. Building muscle and losing weight are like oil and water they just don’t go together. When building muscle you must eat MORE than you would normally and when you lose weight you have to eat LESS. This poses a problem and the only solution is to focus on one then the other.

2. You won’t lose (much) weight resistance training and you won’t gain muscle from cardio. Keep this in mind when working out.

3. Always use proper form. While it sounds great that you can do 25 more pounds on the bench when using incorrect form, lets see how much you can do with an injured back. Seriously guys just use proper form, if you don’t you will eventually regret it. Also, don’t fool yourself into thinking you’re getting stronger with bad form, those gains you get are artificial only good form will get you stronger.

4. Don’t become a fitness know-it-all. Learn what is proven by science and accepted as fact and don’t worry about anything else. Arguments about stuff like free weights vs. machines are ridiculous and don’t get you any stronger. Whether you do 3 sets of 5 or 4 sets of 8 you’ll still be getting stronger than if you didn’t get off the couch.

5. Avoid getting “exercise ADD”. Every time I go to the gym I see someone bouncing around from machine to machine without any idea how to use them. Don’t let this person be you! Find a workout program that was designed by a pro and stick to it. Don’t add in that cool calf machine if your workout doesn’t tell you to, if using that calf machine would help you the person who made the program would have added it!

One of the best ways that you can build up your muscles, strengthen them and increase their health is to to regular body building exercises. Many people use body building workouts to keep themselves healthy and strong. There are lots of different ways to exercise and work out your body. One of the most popular ways to do this is with body building (this method is very popular with young men). You should take steps to ensure that you don’t forget that getting healthy is your main goal, not blowing your muscle size up to crazy proportions. Huge muscles could very well be your end goal, but your current goal should involve some compilation of staying safe and being healthy. Here are some methods of pushing past the body building stereotypes that are out there.

Choose a gym that is good. Not all gyms have the type of equipment you need to use when you want to do some body building. Look at a bunch of gyms before you make a final decision about which gym to use. You want to use a gym that is used regularly by body builders.

You want to also choose a gym that is brightly lit and extra clean. You should choose a gym that takes good care of its equipment (and that has equipment that is not always broken down). You should feel good about the gym you’ve chosen. It is hard to take real advantage of a gym membership if you don’t enjoy the time you spend there. This means that your body building efforts will suffer.

Body building relies quite a bit upon proper protein intake. Protein is what helps your muscles rebuild after a workout so it is incredibly important that you get enough protein in your system. Body builders will often use protein powder in their food to ensure that they consume enough to stay healthy. New body builders don’t have to worry about this as much. For newbies, a properly balanced diet is just about all that is needed. If you get really into body building and start to do it more often or more intensely, you might want to consider increasing your protein intake to compensate for your muscles’ needs. Your doctor will be able to tell you which of the protein powders will work best for you.

Take some time to relax between each activity or exercise. It is easier to injure yourself if you try to do too much too quickly. Giving your body even a few moments to rest can help you lengthen your routines and improve your stamina. Not taking a moment to stop and rest is one of the best ways to dehydrate yourself. It is also a good way to cause muscle strain or to ensure that you will pull a muscle. You could even make yourself so weak that you have to stop your routine before it is completed. Professional body builders are the strongest advocates for rest periods and they know what they are talking about!

Body building can be an incredibly rewarding activity. It will help you stay healthy. It keeps your body fit and in shape. It helps you develop better endurance and stamina.

As you work to build your strength and improve your muscles it is very important that you take the proper steps to ensure that you stay healthy and that you don’t break your muscles down too much. You will see a high level of success with your body building when you take steps to protect your health.

At 7:00 in the morning, apply sun screen to your skinThink about what you are going to do today, go to work or do some exercise outdoors? This is very important, because this decides which kind of sun screen you are going to use today. For people with common skin, sun screen of SPF 8 – 12 will be proper. If your skin is sensitive to light, then the SPF of your sun screen should range from 12 to 20. If you are an office worker who is exposed to direct sunlight only on the way between home and office, the SPF value of your sun screen can be below 15. If you take an excursion in an open country or swim in the ocean, then the SPF value of your sun screen should be above 30. And you’d better choose waterproof sun screen if you are going swimming. In addition, it will be preferable for fair-skinned people to choose sun screen of SPF 30 or higher to prevent spots. Remember that sun screen must be applied half an hour before you go out.At 9:00 in the morning, put on sun-protection clothesThe UVB is strongest from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. in a day. If you have to walk outdoors during this period, you must put on sun-protection clothes. What are sun-protection clothes? Maybe you have not heard of that. As the name suggests, they are clothes with the function of protecting your skin from the sunlight. Then, what kind of clothes has such a function? It is suggested that you pick a dress made of pure cotton. The fabric itself has SPF, and cotton has the highest SPF, which is around 15 to 40. Secondly is light clothes made of polyester with SPF of 7 to 10. While knitted clothes only have SPF of 4 to 9.At noon, avoid photosensitive foodsPhotosensitive foods include coriander, leek, soy, turnip and so on. If you eat too much of them, spots will appear on your skin easily when you are exposed to direct sunlight. Foods such as shark fin, eel, white gourds and broccoli have sun-protection nutrients, so you’d better eat more such foods in summer. Another tip: Strawberries are rich in vitamin, calcium, phosphorus and dietary fiber which are necessary to the body. Strawberries not only help digestion but also whiten skin. What’s more, their sun-resistant and radiation-proof functions are now being gradually recognized. Therefore, you can take strawberries as your after-meal fruit.At 3:00 in the afternoon, add some new sun screenHaving worked for such a long time, your skin may have become dark due to the UVA which refracted indoors. Oily skin may even oil, which will spoil your make-up. If your skin oils too much, you can use a high quality oil-absorbing sheet to absorb the oil in the “T” area. Then, you can choose a sun screen with SPF below 15 to freshen up. If your skin is too dry, you might as well drink some water at this time.At 5:30 in the afternoon, sun-protection for your hair is also essentialAfter work, do some outdoor activities which are beneficial to your skin and body type. Meanwhile, do not forget the sun-protection for your hair. Since the temperature is high in summer, the metabolism accelerates. The sebum secretion of scalp is excessive, so the condition of the hair will change, and the quality of the hair will decline. Therefore, people should choose appropriate sun screen for the hair in the late afternoon. Firstly, you should avoid products with alcohol or formaldehyde which will make the hair more withered. Secondly, mild products without any additives are a nice choice.At 9:40 in the evening, repair the skin after sunburn

Although your skin has been well protected with the help of sun screen and non-photographic foods, you still have something to do. A cup of yogurt in the evening is enough to provide necessary nutrition for you and help you stay in shape. But be sure not to take it all. It is a terrific idea to apply the rest of the yogurt on face. All you have to do is to steep the cotton pad in the yogurt for a while and then take it out and attach it to your face for about 10 to 15 minutes. This can enhance the skin’s resistance against the ultraviolet rays, and it can also lighten your sunburn. Not bad, eh?

5 Tips For Lifting Weights

Exercise of any sort, be it swimming, athletics, lifting weights, playing soccer or tennis requires you to do a few things in a planned manner. In the case of lifting weights there are quite a few possibilities, like lifting weights for building muscles, lifting weight for building body mass or lifting weight for developing power.

Lifting weight as a weight lifter is a full-fledged sport in its own right. It’s a sport in which you either compete professionally or just have fun lifting weights. Although there are many aspects of weight lifting that you must be aware and careful about, but you’ll find here a few which will help you in performing better.

Prepare your Body –Warm Up

Before you commence any physical exercise, or play any physically challenging sport, and specially in case you lift weight or do weight training, preparing the body is a necessary first step. The body must be warmed up, the blood flow must be increased and the heart beat brought up a notch. Any cardiovascular activity with medium to low intensity is suitable for this. The next thing to do now is to stretch your muscles a bit. This aids the proper flow of blood into the muscles and at the same time helps filtering out lactic acid like waste.

Focus & Maintain Proper Form

Lifting weights effectively requires you to have complete concentration on the job at hand. So the place you workout in, by no means is somewhere you joke and play and take things lightly. To achieve desired results single minded focus is essential throughout the time you are engaged in the activity. Also focus on fluid, controlled movements while lifting heavy weights. If you make sharp movements or jerk the weight up the end result will not be achieved.

Push your limits Step by Step

To lift heavier weights you must constantly push your limits, but not all at once.

It should be a step by step process. While training with weights or lifting weights, it’s important not to try lifting incrementally higher weights right away. Instead the increase in weight should be gradual but regular. Initially do more reps with lighter weight and as you go ahead slowly keep increasing the weight and decreasing the repetitions. In this way the muscles will develop a lot of tenacity and provide you with the power you need when you need it.

Set your Short Term and Long Term Targets

While lifting weights, you must set both short term as well as long term targets and work towards achieving them in a purposeful way. The best thing to do would be to follow a strict time bound process of increasing the weight you lift. As you achieve your short term targets the long term goals will start coming closer. This also allows for strength and flexibility of the required muscles to develop and provide you with optimum power.

Avoid Extremes and Have Patience

It’s time to quit for the day if you feel tired, less energetic, and less enthusiastic or bored with your routine. It’s also a good idea to take a break from training and examine your routine if the amount of weight you lift is not growing or you feel your progress is not as planned. An excellent way to get energy and enthusiasm back is to take a week long break from your training schedule every 3-4 months. In this time you could take up a totally different way of challenging your body and keeping it in shape. But it’s equally important to have patience too. You must be persistent as every physique is different and thus there may be a different degree of results for people doing the same routine in trying to lift higher amounts of weight. So the best idea is to follow your plan and be patient. The results you want to attain with weights will come your way.

Lifting weight not only provides you with the opportunity to build muscles and power but also allows your body to be fine tuned and in fine shape to participate in any other sport. Taking care to follow best practices and a good, well planned regime while applying simple but effective techniques, you will find no goal is too far.

This will certainly lead to frustration for one of you, since every person’s body works at different rates.If you are looking to lose weight, then look to your fork. If you eat only what you can fit on a fork, then this limits how much you can eat in one mouthful. Your stomach will then feel full quicker, stopping you from overeating. This also keeps you from wasting food, and could lower your weekly food bill.Keep track of everything you eat in a food journal or online. Counting calories is easier if you have everything recorded in one place. It may keep you from going against your diet plan if you know you’ll have to write everything down. Additionally, if you notice you aren’t making progress, you can look back at what you’ve been eating and identify problems.If you decide to start a weight loss program with your spouse or significant other, remember that when it comes to dieting and nutrition, women and men are almost totally different in their metabolism, dietary needs, and body composition. Ladies, be prepared: males tend to lose weight more readily, even if they consume more calories than a woman of the same size does.Eating soup can help you lose weight, especially if you place it in the refrigerator to cool before eating. Most of the fat from the soup will move to the top of the bowl, allowing you to scoop it out, throw it away and save yourself some calories before you enjoy your meal.When losing weight, don’t be afraid to just say no! You may feel pressured during certain events to take a piece of cake or a cookie. If you’re offered a food you’re trying to avoid or just want to cut calories, politely decline. You don’t need to explain your reasons. Just smile and say “No thank you.”Lose weight more easily by making small changes in your daily life. Making sweeping changes can be overwhelming and hard to maintain once the initial burst of motivation wanes. Small changes can more easily become habitual and can add up to big weight loss. One small change you can begin with is to take the stairs, for example.You actually want to keep your mind focused on foods that you can add to your diet, not those that you are removing. There is a great sense of desperation when you are feeling as if you are losing the things you love, especially when you have become dependent on foods for comfort. Make sure you focus on those foods that are being added to your diet, and you will forget that there are things being omitted at all.When working out, it might be useful to do strength training along with aerobic exercise like running. Strength training with weights or resistance can give you more energy to burn more calories during each workout. Also, you will feel more energetic in your daily life, and help lose weight faster.If your weight loss has come to a stop, you might have hit a plateau. Try increasing your calories to break it. When your body is not receiving enough calories to sustain the energy, you are burning, it will conserve fat. The resulting plateau can be frustrating, especially when weight loss is the goal. Add a few healthy calories and see if it makes a positive change.Next time you eat out, try asking for half your meal in a to go box before it’s even served. Most restaurants have portion sizes that are more appropriate for two or three people, and by eating half of your meal and getting the other half in a to go box, not only will you be cutting your calories in half, but lunch for the next day is already taken care of!In the end, listen to your body. Pushing yourself too hard is a road to failure, but giving up on your commitment will also get you nowhere. Find what’s right for you and stick to it and you’ll thank yourself in the end. There’s no downside to living a fuller, more energetic life.

All of us hope to be healthier and with the changing of just a few habits, this can be accomplished. As you read the tips on healthier living that we’ll be sharing in this article, try to remember that this is not something you can do all at once. What you need to do is try to develop good and healthy habits and that is something that you can start today but that really happens over time.

If you want to get more nutrition out of your food then you should vary your diet often. All food contains different vitamins, minerals and amino acids which you need. This is why you should eat different foods from different food groups that are healthy as well. You may have heard that it is good to eat fruit and vegetables everyday but this does not mean that you have to eat the same apple and spinach each day. With loads of different fruits and vegetables to choose from you should be adventurous. There are also loads of different foods with protein, carbohydrates and whole grain in. So that you don’t get stuck in a rut add some variety to your food.

If you want to have better health, a good place to start is with your teeth and gums. In recent years, it’s been discovered that dental health has a large impact on your overall health. Gum disease, for example, has been linked to heart problems.

Tooth decay, for example, can cause infections and other health issues in other areas of your body. That’s why it’s important to get regular teeth cleanings, take care of any dental procedures your dentist recommends, brush your teeth regularly and maybe use an herbal mouthwash for your gums. Taking care of your teeth and gums is about more than just making sure your mouth looks good, it’s also about safeguarding the rest of your body as well.

While it is obviously better to eat foods that are healthy instead of foods that are unhealthy, when it comes to improving your health and dropping pounds, the amount of food that you eat is just as important as the type of food you eat. Just by reducing the size of the portions you bring in, you cut down on your calorie intake and that can help to reduce the harmful effects that might be a result of the unhealthy foods you might be consuming. Naturally you don’t have to pay much mind to the number of salads or green veggies you eat but those are not the types of foods that encourage overindulgence anyway. It’s carbohydrates like bread and pasta, sweets and salty foods that are the worst culprits, as it’s always tempting to reach for another portion. Learn to deal with moderate portions and resist the urge to reach for more helpings.

As you can see by the tips in this article, healthy living isn’t hard or mysterious. It’s important to understand that every little change you make towards this important goal can help there. Developing good and healthy habits now is like investing in your own future which, thanks to these habits, will hopefully be healthy and long.
