No Comments on Weightlifting Tips Part 2

There are a lot of questions that I get asked everyday about what works and does not work outside of the gym for getting better results.

These tips I hope will help you get a better handle on what will make you stronger and have more fun workouts with better results.

How much sleep do I need if I am working out?

There is a real need for sleep when you are working out. As you are probably aware it is really hard on your body just having a workout so you need to rest and sleep to heal your body before your next workout.

Another good reason to sleep enough is to make sure that you not only recuperated from that last workout but that you have something left in your tank for the next workout.

How much sleep do I need?

This is a very subjective question. Everyone needs a different amount of sleep. I have always found that I can not get my for more than a few days with less than 7 hours of sleep a night and I will feel it in my legs on my bike after just three nights of bad sleep.

The best thing to do is listen to your body instead of your mind. If you are used to watching TV on the couch late at night then you will not have a chance to know that you are tired and should be sleeping.

Try reading quietly in the evening an hour or so before you sleeping time and see if this will make you fall asleep earlier or if you can read through that hour without getting tired.

**Never use a mobile phone or tablet late at night. It affects your Melatonin release and will affect your sleep schedule more than anything else

What should I be eating last thing at night?

On training days it is important to be eating protein before bed and lots of water to heal those muscles while your sleep.

As you may be aware your muscles are mostly made of water and amino acids. Amino Acids are the building blocks of protein so the protein and water are critical to getting it right for your recovery while you sleep.

How much protein do I need to be taking?

Most of the muscle magazines will tell you that you should be eating 50 grams of protein a meal and eating 6 meals a day. This works out to about 1.5 grams of protein per pound of body per day.

I think this is crap sold to us by the advertisers of protein bars and shakes.

It is much better to cap your protein at 30 grams per meal and 5-6 meals a day. Any more than this and you will be bloated and your body can not metabolize much more than 30 grams of protein per meal anyway.

No Comments on Truth About Abs – by Mike Geary

Do you have a flabby midsection that doesn’t seem to go away, no matter what you do, do you need to know about the truth about abs? Do you work hard, eat right, exercise everyday – but all to no avail?

Getting in shape can be hard; and once you’re in shape, burning the remaining stomach fat to get hard, toned abs can be difficult, too.

If you find yourself in this position now, don’t worry. There’s no shortage of suggestions for how you can burn that fat. The only real question is which of these options actually works.

The Truth About Abs – Is It True?

As you probably know already, supposed ” loss” pills usually don’t do the trick if they’re not combined with “diet and exercise.” And many fat diets simply don’t do what they claim. They might help you to slim down a bit, but when it comes to getting rock hard abs, they’re simply not designed to get you there.

So what can you do? You can do nothing at all; and give up on your diet and exercise routine. Or you can try something new. You can try what Mike Geary suggests is truth about abs.

Who is Mike Geary of Truth about abs?

Who is Mike Geary, you ask? He’s Certified Personal Trainer and a Certified Nutrition Specialist-but, most importantly, he’s the creator of “The Truth About Abs,” which is a diet and exercise program that has become wildly popular in recent years.

With over 200,000 copies of his ebook sold, Mike has become a fitness guru. He enjoys Platinum Exercise Expert status on ezinearticles.com; and also has a fitness newsletter with more than 700,000 subscribers.

So what does Mike Geary suggest you do?
He suggests that you give up on your current approach to losing belly fat. After all, it doesn’t work. If it did, you wouldn’t be looking for solutions to lose it.

From there, the first step is nutrition. It’s easy to fall into dietary slumps; and pack on the pounds as a result. And it is even easier to lull yourself into believing you are on a good, effective diet when in fact your -loss and muscle-toning is going nowhere at all. This is all in Truth about Abs

Next, Geary suggests that you begin an exercise regimen. But unlike most other allegedly ab gurus, he claims that you shouldn’t actually focus on crunches, sit-ups, and all the normal exercise routines that most people would use to try to shape their midsections. Instead, Geary provides you with a set of full-body workouts. And not only are the detailed, but he includes sets of photos with each of them. These photos show you what to do; and also what not to do.

Another benefit of Geary’s Truth about Abs program is that it doesn’t target any particular group. He claims that there is no need for a separate routine for women and a separate routine for men, since the right exercises should work well for both.

Additionally, Geary provides sets of exercises for persons of all experience and fitness levels. He claims that his beginner set of exercises will work for you no matter who you are. You could be a teenager who is just beginning a fitness routine for the first time; or you could be a grandmother who is interested in getting back into shape. Indeed, even if you are under 15, he provides a wealth of body- exercises, so that you do not need to use weights.

Overall, The Truth About Abs provides a high-quality course on loss and muscle-toning. And to make things better, it is sold through ClickBank, which means that it comes with a 60-day money-back guarantee. If you’re not having luck with your current routine, it might be wise to give Geary’s Truth about Abs program a try.

No Comments on 10 Tips To Use Today To Help You Quit Smoking

As a guy that smoked for years (really, even before and after workouts when I was younger), I know that quitting smoking is tough.

I tried a couple of times unsuccessfully and for years I felt like it was a real failing of mine that I just couldn’t quit. It was like I was living a double life between fit guy and smoking guy.

Anyway. I finally quit cold turkey about 15 years ago now and it really did change my life

10 Tips to Help You Quit Smoking

Quitting smoking is tough to do to say the least but there are a few things that you can lean on to make things easier for you. Here is a selection of 10 tips to help you to quit smoking.

1. What makes you keeps smoking? Write down those times that you have the urge to smoke before you quit. This way you know what situations to avoid when you do quit.

2. Look around for as many support people that have quit before that you can. Other peoples quitting smoking success can help you out. Go and solicit advice from those that you know that have quit before you. Was it nicotine gum, the patch, willpower?

3. Tell your family your plans to quit smoking. The very best support will come from home. Have your family treat you proudly for quitting smoking.

8. Start and exercise program. Why not try to make a lot of changes in your life all at once. Quit smoking and increase you health changes by exercising and taking advantage of your new healthy lifestyle.

10. Buy any books or other support items that will help. The very best thing you can do in the end is engross yourself in anything that will support your new lifestyle change. Read quitting smoking books, watch inspiring videos, get all of those pieces of support that will help you in your weak moments after you quit.
