Question: What Exercise Burns More Body Fat: Bodybuilding Training with Weights or Cardio?
Is cardiovascular exercise really the best exercise to burn fat? Lately I have been hearing that is not the case. If so, what is the best exercise for fat burning?
So let me guess, you have bought a lean cuisine before at the grocery store thinking that you were making a healthy choice, right? Well what if I told you that these so called lean meals that are really the reason why you may be stuck when trying to achieve your weight loss goals. Would you believe me?
Well let me explain for those who may still be doubters!
Question: Is 1200 Calories per day unhealthy for me? Keep in mind, I’m short and do not exercise at all.
Thanks in advance.
Who says that you cannot attack your fat while going out to eat with friends and family?
This is one of the biggest myths in the history of weight loss and is part of the reason that the supplement industry has grown to become over a 55 billion dollar industry!
You see, going out to a nice restaurant and socializing is a great way to forget about all of the stress and problems you may be having at work. The problem is people do not know what or how to order a healthy meal while eating out. They simply follow what everyone else is doing instead of being conscious of their diets.
So in order to fix this problem, I would like to give you some quick guidelines that you must obey before you decide to go out to eat. They are as follows:
Nowadays there are a number of new diets and exercise gadgets advertised on t.v. or in the fitness magazines that promise you will have the body of your dreams in no time. They state that all you need to do is follow their program for a couple of weeks and presto!
Walk into any gym today and you’ll see people who are dedicated to working out consistently. While some of these trainees make gains, others who workout faithfully don’t show any consistent improvement. Year after year, they have little to show for their hard work. (more…)
I don’t know if you’re like me, but when I train at the gym I have one intention. It’s to build more muscles. I’m sure this is the same for you.
As a fitness coach and personal trainer I need to answer this question all the time:
How can I get bigger?
It’s easy if you follow some simple rules. You will be able to increase your muscles mass without increasing your body fat!
Heavy Lift
First rule on the list is you need to lift heavy weights to increase your muscle mass. When you challenge your muscles enough, you damage the tiny micro-fibers of the muscle. With the right nutrition and enough rest you repair the damage, and with this repair your muscles slowly grow. To get good results, make sure you challenge your muscles with intensity in your workout. If you take too long of a rest in between sets, your muscles will not get the intensity they need to be really challenged. I suggest taking only just enough time to catch your breath (around 30 to 45 sec.) and then start another set right away.
By the way if you have never tried Super Charge before a workout…go for it! You will see a whole different you at the gym! (more…)
With so much emphasis being placed on what foods to eat and exercises to perform, a topic that does not get discussed very often is the one of food seasonings. At one time or the other, we have all indulged in some type of food that has been loaded with seasoning to make it taste great! The question now remains, are these seasonings good or bad for you?
One of the biggest things that bother me when it comes to eating healthy and helping others decrease body fat are deceptive food labels. I cannot begin to describe to you how many people have fallen for the evil tricks that the weight loss industry has set up for them.
As I was walking around the grocery store the other day I saw several food labels that said fat free, sugar free, reduced calories and 97% fat free. While someone may initially think they are making a good choice, they may be wrong!
