Indoor Cycling

Monday, June 28th, 2010

This is a very general concept that you can do at home, as well. Similar to spinning, it only differs from this one in that you don’t need a professional trainer for indoor cycling. All you need is a stationary bike and a bit of room to put it in. After that, you can start indoor cycling and get into shape.

Indoor cycling can also be done at your local gym, as described in another article, in the form of spinning. This is probably what you should be doing at the beginning because it is easier to workout in a larger group. All you need to do is focus and follow the instructor’s orders. In any case, you can simply workout there and it would still be called indoor cycling.

Indoor cycling is a very popular activity which started way back in the 60’s, when the first stationary bikes were invented. People were looking for an easy way to stay in shape and to make sure that they are not wasting too much time on driving to the gym and back. So, the obvious choice was to invest a couple of hundred dollars in a stationary bike that could be used for as long as you’d like and by any member of the household. In a couple of weeks of pedaling you could lose significant amounts of weight and fat, so it really worked back then as it does today.

Build Muscle

Monday, June 28th, 2010

There are a lot of people out there who can go through some pretty intense workouts and still not be able to get any kind of results at all. If you are trying to build a lot of muscle then it is a good thing you are here today reading this article. This article is going to show you that everyone can put on muscle and it will be going over three steps you should be doing if you stand a chance of putting on muscle.

1-Change your eating habits

Some of you out there might be thinking your eating habits are really good, but to be brutally honest, they probably aren’t. I am not saying you are eating unhealthy, because you might be. However, unless you are eating more than your daily caloric need to maintain weight, you are not going to put on any muscle. If you think you are eating healthy, simply eat more than what you have been eating.

2-Make a workout

Once you get your eating habits in check, you need to create a workout for yourself. It really does not matter what kind of workout you do, but we do recommend you lift heavy because this forces the muscles to grow. You should change your workout around every five to six weeks to prevent your muscles from getting use to the workout.

Building Strength

Monday, June 28th, 2010

There are many effective ways to build strength. Some methods of building strength are much more effective than others. In this article we will be discussing the superiority of the dumbbell power-lifting over other methods of strength building. Dumbbells offer many more benefits than barbells, body-weight exercises, and weight-lifting machines. There is less risk of injury with dumbbells than there is with barbells, because if you drop dumbbells on a bench press, there is a good chance that they will fall to the sides of your body, as opposed to a bar which would land on your neck. Dumbbells require less reps and sets than body-weight exercises, thereby allowing you to be more efficient with your workout time. And finally, dumbbells are superior to weight-lifting machines because dumbbells require the use of, and thus train, many stabilizer muscles, whereas machines tend to isolate individual muscles and avoid secondary and stabilizer muscles.

The power-lifting method of increasing strength with dumbbells is as follows: Find the greatest amount weight that you are comfortable doing 4 sets of 4 reps. Only do 4 sets on any particular station. If you find that you can do more reps or more sets, then you need to increase the weight that you are lifting. Say that you are comfortable doing 4 sets of 4 reps with 60 lbs weights on a bench press. When you feel that you are ready to increase the weight, increase the weight of your 2nd set by 5 lbs. On your next weight increase, increase the weight of the 3rd set by 5 lbs. On your next weight increase, increase the 1st set by 5lbs. And lastly, increase the 4th set by 5 lbs.

Running on an Empty Stomach

Monday, June 28th, 2010

One of the common pieces of advice I hear around gyms is that it’s not wise to eat for a few hours before you do cardio like running. This is due to a few reasons and theories which I’ll cover in this article in which I’ll try to see whether running on empty stomach is a good idea or a lousy one.

Here are some of the reasons why people claim that running on an empty stomach is the right thing to do:

1. Running when you’re full is just hard and can make you sick – This is actually true and I can testify to that from personal experience. If you’ve had a big lunch 30 minutes ago, please don’t go running. You may feel nausea. It can ruin your workout.

2. If you train on an empty stomach, your body will not have a readily available source of energy to tap into. It will have to go to your fat stores in order to get the energy it needs to complete your workout. It won’t have a choice. This, according to people, is a way to force your body to burn more fat than it would have done otherwise. This sounds good in theory, but does it work?

Apparently not. Research has not shown any difference in the type of calorie being burned when working out on an empty stomach or after a small meal (I stress small). You won’t be burning more fat just because you haven’t eaten for a few hours. In fact, it may be the opposite.
