Fitness Walking

Friday, June 11th, 2010

Walking is really the best exercise you can do for your body. Almost every doctor on earth will testify to that assumption. Walking helps all of your insides, and your skin to feel better, look better and work better. Walking for one hour a day will pay you benefits that will last a lifetime. And that lifetime will be a lot longer because you walked. So you have set out to change your diet and get into an exercise program and you settled upon walking. But what kind of walking is good for you. There are three basic ways to walk. Everyday walking. This is the basic. You can start out walking trying to walk three miles an hour or a mile in twenty minutes. Take the car and measure the distance from your starting point to the halfway point. Do not kid yourself. If you want to walk a few blocks and return, go halfway with the car. If you walk in a circle go so many blocks ahead, make a right and two more rights and you are home. It is important to get the distance right so that you can then work on your speed. Set a goal for your time. A good healthy pace is four miles an hour or a mile in fifteen minutes.
Speed walking or power walking. This is for those who want to really get into condition. It is amazing just how fast speed walkers walk. Speed walkers train for hours so unless you are really into this type of walking, stick with every day walking.

Effective Workouts

Friday, June 11th, 2010

Do you really have to pound weights until you are exhausted, march up a Stairmaster for hours, or finish your routine with marathon abs work to burn fat and build healthy muscle? Just how long should you work out?

The secret that strength athletes and martial artists know about workout duration is this: with focus, you hit the sweet spot a lot sooner than you think!

No matter if you are at the gym to build size, improve your sports performance, or sculpt a body that is easy to look at, you have to accomplish three things to reach your goal. First, you have to stimulate growth, either growth of new muscle mass, or replacement of damaged muscle fibers with strong and vital tissue. Second, you have to work enough to bring your metabolism up to a level that triggers growth hormone production and the release of both serotonin and dopamine (in sequence). These powerful substances help regulate physical stress and allow your muscles to work efficiently and recover afterword. And last, you want to push and promote your body’s ability to handle physical stress. That is, increase flexibility and stamina while reducing tension.

The good news is that you can do all of this in a half hour daily, plus ten minutes of post workout stretching. Here’s how:

Divide your complete workout into two exercises for each of six muscle groups. Don’t worry about getting a well rounded workout. You will change each muscle group’s exercises monthly. Do five sets of five reps for each exercise, with a one minute rest between sets. Rest for three full minutes between exercises.

The resistance you use must be such that you can do five sets with clean, perfect form but cannot complete a sixth set. Then tweak it just a bit more so that the first two sets are only 80 percent of the resistance you are using for the last three sets. Slam only one muscle group per day and allow a full week of recovery before you work it again. Do not train to failure!

Burn Calories by Walking

Friday, June 11th, 2010

Do you want to lose weight? Are you overweight or obese and want to lose weight the easy and healthiest way? Or do you just want to get fit and healthy so you can have a nice body and complexion? If you do, then walking is one of the best way to lose weight and burn calories!

Walking is one of the best way to burn calories and stay healthy because:

1. Walking increases and activates your cardiovascular system!

When you walk, you are activating your cardiovascular system. That is, you are making your heart work. Walking activates your cardiovascular system because when you walk, you are activating and stimulating every muscle and joint in your body. Because you are activating and stimulating every muscle and joint in your body, your heart has to pump harder and also your arteries and veins have to be nice and clean to distribute the blood around your body. So the more you walk, the more you are increasing your cardiovascular system which in turns require a lot of energy to be burnt for your heart to pump your heart around!

2. Increases your lung capacity

When you walk, you walk upright. The optimum and most efficient oxygen absorption to your lungs is when your body is most upright. If you combined that when you are stimulating your cardiovascular system at the same time when you are walking, you are making your lungs stronger and efficient. Hence, walking increases your lung capacity.

Aerobics and Fat

Friday, June 11th, 2010

There are so many advantages for your body to beginning an aerobics program. One of the greatest things about aerobics is that you can use it to burn fat in ways that are much easier on your body than going on a boring, uninspiring diet. It is very simple to burn fat through an aerobics program. The reason for this is that there are numerous ways that you can “program” your body to do the work that it is supposed to in order to really get the most out of the aerobics that you are doing.

While you are working up a sweat and working on your heart rate, all of your body’s muscles are also getting great things out of the aerobics work as well (talk about multi-tasking!). As you bring new blood and oxygen to all of your body systems, you are also going to discover that you are giving yourself the greatest chance to really eliminate all that unwanted, ugly fat as you go along. Working hard to burn fat is something that you can finally take control of when you are doing aerobics on a regular basis.

When your body is in a constant state of motion, all of the body systems are working hard together to maintain body functions at a normal rate. Because your muscles need to be moving at a greater rate, your heart is going to have to work harder because the only way to get your muscles to move quicker and stronger is to give them more blood and as a consequence, more oxygen (which is what is really required). Because your heart has to work harder, your lungs therefore need to work harder to provide your heart with the oxygen that it needs to keep pumping.
