One of the most important things that you can do when you are trying to get in better shape or to get in shape in the first place is to have a weekly schedule.

There are three things to look at in this schedule and if you set your priorities or goals in each of these area you will be more successful in your workouts

Here are the important structure parts of your workout

1. When do you workout – We all know, at least your should know that working out in the morning is the best time to workout. The reasons for this are obvious.

By working out in the morning you have less excuses, a fresh mind, no plans already, and this is also the best time becasue you will be able to get the metabolism running right away.

If you do not workout in the morning than the next best time would be lunch or in the evening. The eveing is good for a lot of people but depending on your social life this may be a problem.

So make sure you are not going to have trouble with your workouts getting in the way of the rest of your life or you will start to resent the workouts and start skipping them.

2. Energy to workout – It is important to make yourself have the energy to workout or the workouts will go badly.

This means that you should workout well hydrated as well as making sure that it is far enough away from a meal so that you are not bloated.

Also make sure that you are eating well all day long. Eating 6 meals a day is not jsut a good idea but instead is a great way to keep your blood sugar level.

3. How to workout – No matter what you do you need to have a schedule for what kinds of workouts that you want to have.

You should have at least one weight workout, preferably two and these workouts should work your entire body. I choose to do these workouts on Monday and Friday.

Next you need to figure out your cardio workouts. I like to mix up my cardio and that is to do biking, running, street hockey, and using an elliptical trainer.

You don’t have to do this all at once and really you want to work up a sweat in at least a 30 minute workout for three days a week. This altoegether will lead to five days working out a week wich I think is easily enough to get in great shape in no time.

Working out with these three ideas in mind should help you out to get your body and mind in the shape that you need to make sure that you are always feeling and looking great.

Quit Smoking with Permaquit a revolutionary stop smoking system that relies on the power of your brain instead of some pills, patches, or scare tactics to help you quit smoking.

The course is actually a book that will change the way you think about smoking instead of just making you quit through sheer willpower.

You are probably thinking,“This cannot be true”

 

I have written many articles on quitting smoking but wanted to give you another way to learn more about this great program that can have you learning how to quit smoking quickly, and believe it or not, quite easily.

What the PermaQuit Program Will Do

What is Quit Smoking Using Permaquit?

The principal concept of the quit smoking today program is rather like the principles of hypnosis.

It allows you to access your subconscious mind and change your response to cigarettes or nicotine cravings.

It eliminates the usual problems that are associated with quitting smoking such as short temper, hunger and gain.

More than teaching you how to stop smoking, it will totally help you overcome your desire to smoke.

The man behind the quit smoking program called Permaquit is Paul Peyton, an expert in stopping smoking by controlling what goes on in your head and why. And he, like me, is an ex-smoker himself. Permaquit uses psychotherapy techniques that liberate smokers from their smoking habit.

One more thing. As I am sure you are used to now, almost all stop smoking programs are expensive. This one is not. Quit smoking today is cheaper than a carton of smokes at only $37.

Talking to most women over 50 you will quickly find that menopause and weight gain are linked in their experience.

It is very common to put on at this time and while some of this may be due to lifestyle changes, that does not explain why suddenly we develop a tendency to put on at different parts of the body, especially the abdomen, while any weight gained when we were younger tended to be centered on the hips.

Effect of Lower Estrogen

The truth is that hormonal changes do have a part to play in this, although the process is not completely understood. At menopause a woman stops ovulating, her monthly menstruation periods end, and her body produces much lower levels of the female hormone estrogen which is responsible for the ovulation process.

Low estrogen has been shown to cause weight gain in animals and it almost certainly is the reason why our bodies change shape. While women of childbearing age store fat in the lower body, after the menopause they store it on the abdomen instead, like men.

This leads to a greater risk of heart disease.

Metabolism and Aging

At the same time, both men and women tend to find muscle turning to fat as they grow older, and the metabolism slows down.

This means that if you do not adjust your eating habits you will probably find that your increases. A person of 60 just does not need as many calories as a person of 40.

Hormone therapy with estrogen is sometimes prescribed to control menopausal symptoms. Many women will be surprised to hear that studies have shown that hormone therapy does not cause weight gain.

Some women experience bloating and water retention in the early stages of hormone therapy but this is usually temporary and they have not gained any fat. Hormone therapy can reduce the risk of heart disease by preventing the changes in storage of body fat around the abdomen and lowering cholesterol.

However, hormone therapy has been linked to an increased risk of breast cancer in some studies.

What Can You Do To reduce Weight Gain?

If you find that you are gaining weight around the menopause, there are several things you can do.

• Eat a healthy, low fat diet with plenty of fiber, avoiding sugar.
• Take regular exercise. As people get older their physical activity levels naturally drop. Work often becomes less physically demanding, there are no kids to run around after, we take less active holidays and do things more slowly. 30 minutes of moderate physical activity every day will help to balance out the effect of this.
• Maintain your muscle strength and mass. Use weights for arm muscles and walking or cycling for legs.
• Accept the changes to the shape of your body. If you are not over, but simply have a thicker waist and slimmer legs, that is fine.

Consult with your doctor before starting any exercise program if you have any medical conditions or your fitness levels are low. Your doctor can also help with symptoms of the menopause and weight gain.
