  • What should you do first, cardiovascular endurance exercise or weight lifting? Or does this even matter? The answer really depends upon what you are trying to accomplish.
  • Exercise order may also matter if you are trying to achieve a specific goal, such as building muscle or improving sports skills, or if you have an extremely high level of fitness already.

  • Exercise you perform when your energy supplies are low is less effective and more likely to result in injury.
  • If Your Goal is Increasing Muscle Size and Strength Increasing muscle size can best be accomplished by lifting weights first when the body's main source of energy for muscle contraction (glycogen) is high. If you do a hard cardio workout before lifting, you deplete glycogen, which makes the workout ineffective.
  • If Your Goal is Burning Calories for Fat Loss If your primary goal is to burn as many calories as you can in a single session, it's probably best to do cardio first and lift weights next. There isn't any magic behind this; it's simply easier for most people to burn more calories per exercise session when they do cardio first.
  • If Your Goal is Increasing Cardiovascular Endurance In order to build and maintain cardiovascular endurance, you should perform endurance exercise first, when you have plenty of energy for long-distance exercise. Add resistance exercises 2 to 3 times a week, either after or separate from the endurance work in order to develop muscular strength and reduce your risk of injury.

What should I eat to make more muscles? - 0 views

  • Calorie Intake Building muscle requires eating a caloric surplus, meaning you eat more calories than you burn during the day. When adding these calories, choose whole, natural foods as often as possible. Adding about 250 to 500 calories per day helps support 1/2 to 1 lb. of muscle growth weekly.
  • Protein Needs
  • Strength-training athletes should aim for the higher end of this range. Whole sources of protein, such as lean meats, poultry breast, fish, eggs and dairy are readily digested and used by the body to build muscle. These sources also contain minimal saturated fats, too much of which may cause fat gain and health problems. The occasional use of whey protein, or other protein supplements, may help you get all the protein you need to support your workouts and muscle growth.
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • Carbohydrates Carbohydrates provide fuel for your body to make it through workouts. Carbohydrates are also a source of calories, helping you achieve that surplus to support muscle growth. The body converts carbohydrates into glycogen, which is stored in muscles and affects anabolism -- or muscle growth.
  • hoose whole grains, vegetables and fruits for these carbohydrates, as they provide the most nutrients and fiber. Oatmeal, brown rice, sweet potatoes, leafy greens and apples, for example, are superior to sugary baked goods or white breads and rice for muscle growth.

      When building up, I need to assume more calories, I should be adding about 250 to 500calories per day, because it will help me support 1/2 to 1 lb of muscle growth weekly. Protein is major, to help muscle build. Another is carbohydrates which help me to provide fuel to my body to make through workouts

My sister herself works at McDonalds and finds it quite difficult to resist the temptation of BigMac and fries. Yes McDonald's does provide jobs for many young people like her, but McDonald's does not teach the benefits of healthy living.

Speed Enhancement Drills For Soccer | LIVESTRONG.COM - 0 views

  • Soccer is a game of many elements including strength, coordination, discipline, communication and speed. The ability to utilize explosive speed on the soccer field sets the best teams apart from everyone else.
  • An alternate start is a sprinting drill that requires you to run 10 to 20 yards at a time. It is designed to improve your explosive speed from different positions and actions that more closely mimic a soccer game.
  • A speed ladder is a piece of training equipment that you lay on the ground and run through to develop foot speed and coordination. The ladder is laid out over a short distance and consists of small squares that you must step in on each stride.
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • Adding resistance to your sprints helps build takeoff power in your legs for explosive speed down the field. You can add resistance by sprinting up a hill of about 30 degrees, or by using speed parachutes that follow behind you as you run. Parachutes are effective, but not always practical if you are training as a team.
  • Building speed for the defensive part of soccer is just as important as speed for offense. Practice sprinting backwards for short distances, using quick turns and crossovers along the way. This drill simulates an offensive player trying to dribble past you and will help you keep up during a game.
    • Wasif H
       
      This is a good source because it ties in with soccer. I incorporate many of these tactics in my routine. We also do many of these drills at practice. I think overall my speed has increased

Explosive Speed Training | LIVESTRONG.COM - 0 views

  • In regard to athletics, speed is how fast an individual can travel from one point to another. It has to do with stride frequency, or the number of steps per unit of time, and stride length, or the distance that each step covers.
  • To increase your speed, your daily training sessions should place emphasis on improving your overall work capacity, ensuring that your joint mobility is normal, increasing the strength of your legs and core, developing running endurance and improving running coordination.
  • There are numerous drills that should be incorporated into an explosive speed training program that help to improve your coordination and running technique. Marching drills, skipping and arm swings are typically done prior to more intensive training exercises.
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • Because these are not physically intensive, you should try to fit these in every day. They’re meant to develop muscle memory and teach your nervous system and muscles how to efficiently work together, so the more repetitions you can get in of form drills, the better.
  • Form drills are very important, but it’s essential that you take the skills that you learn from them and apply them to actual speed and endurance drills.
  • There are different types of speed and endurance training workouts that you can incorporate, such as participating in extensive intervals, which means completing a high number of sprinting repetitions, or you can use intensive intervals, which require you to do less repetitions but at high-speed, very intense sprints, perhaps with added resistance such as running hills, or using a parachute for drag.

How Much Protein And Carbs Should You Eat Before Workout? | LIVESTRONG.COM - 0 views

  • If your workout is the key to your dream physique, then your diet is the key to your most effective workout. The food you eat is directly tied to the way your body performs, and an under-performing body won't burn as many calories or build as much muscle as one that is perfectly fueled.
  • the most important factor is the mix of carbohydrates and protein.
  • No matter what volume of food you consume, dietitian Christopher Mohr recommends 5 g of carbs for every 1 g of essential amino acids -- about 1.6 g of a complete protein will provide 1 g of essential amino acids. Consuming these nutrients before your workout allows your body to take advantage of workout-induced increased blood flow to establish the amino acids in your muscles while boosting blood sugar for steady energy.
  • ...10 more annotations...
  • Whatever you decide to eat, keep the 5:1.6 g carb-to-protein ratio in mind.
  • Obviously, the closer you get to your workout time, the smaller the meal should be
  • Many protein shakes and sports bars are designed specifically as pre-workout nutrition and have the precise nutrient ratio you need. They also have the added advantage of being portable, which can be convenient for those who hit the gym on the way home from work.
  • If you are stuck without your favorite supplement at hand, fat-free chocolate milk will suffice -- according to Mohr, it provides the exact carb-to-protein ratio as a pre-workout shake. The fat-free part is important though -- fat digests slowly and can weigh you down when you least need it.
  • Supplements are simply convenience products, and are not necessary to good nutrition. You can get the same benefit from whole foods, but this requires more planning and label reading. Fat-free yogurt with fruit and granola works, as does a whole-grain bagel with peanut butter.
  • Timing is important -- even the perfect meal can leave you flat if you eat it too early or weigh you down if you eat it too late
  • The actual amount of carbs and protein you eat depends upon how much time will elapse before your workout.
  • f your only pre-workout nutrition is a regular meal, eat it about three or four hours before you exercise so the food has time to digest. Otherwise, your full stomach will be susceptible to upset, and the nutrients won't be available in your bloodstream when your body needs them. Smaller meals can be eaten two or three hours prior, but stick to a small snack if you only have an hour to go.
  • Supplements are by far the easiest way to ensure you get the proper ratio in an appropriately-sized food source.
  • For a larger meal, a turkey sandwich on whole grain bread with lettuce and tomato is a nearly perfect pre-workout meal, and bananas or fruit juice can be a last-minute snack for quick energy.

How Many Calories Should I Eat Per Day When Bulking? | LIVESTRONG.COM - 0 views

  • Daily calorie requirements depend a number of factors such as age, activity level and genetics, so each person may burn energy at a slightly different rate.
  • According to experts from Columbia University, research has shown that you should consume an additional 2,270 to 3,630 calories per week to build as much as a single pound of muscle during that time span. This equals about 500 additional calories per day. A typical 180-lb. male needing about 2,700 calories per day would therefore require at least 3,200 calories. Furthermore, an hour of intense weightlifting burns 500 calories. Added up, this same person may consume as much as 3,700 calories on lifting days just to properly bulk up.
  • Every day, a topflight athlete or bodybuilder needs approximately 0.68 to 0.9 g of protein per pound of body weight. Most people who want to build some muscle will probably settle for less than the high end but more than the 0.36 g recommended for the average person. Without the proper consumption of protein, the muscles may not grow at a rate that is in accord with the actual amount of growth facilitated by strength training sessions.
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • Carbohydrates are used to fuel muscle growth
  • . For this reason, an athlete or bodybuilder should consume 3 to 4.5 g of carbohydrates per pound of body weight. However, the high end is only for ultra-endurance athletes and unnecessary for building muscles.

What I should being eating after working out? And why? - 0 views

    • Gurkirat S
       
      This website really answers my question on should I be eating after working out ? I have learned that I should replace my fluids in body, due to that when I sweat, I'm losing fluids from my body. To replace it, is by determining of how much to drink, either if it's water or a sports drink. To find out of how how much water you should be drinking, is to first weight yourself, so if you lose 1 lb, you should drink 20-24 oz of water and you keeping adding on ounces, for every pound you lost. For food wise, it's important to regain your carbohydrates, you should have a fruit or juice within 15 minutes to help restore glycogen. Glycogen in other words is a substance deposited in bodily tissues as a store of carbohydrates.

  • Obesity is the root for several non-communicable diseases (NCDs)
  • Another study in the Lancet on Thursday predicts that by 2030, nearly 70% of all global deaths will be from non-communicable diseases like cancer, diabetes, and respiratory and heart disease. Of these 70% of deaths, 80% will be in the less wealthy nations like India.

      My question does focus on Indian food and related health benefits and concerns, but this doesn't mean that other countries and cultures aren't facing the same issues. The world in general is in a state where there are now more overall obese people than starving. The surplus of food has risen, and the cost of food has fallen. We need to control how much we eat and which foods we spend our money on (no McDonald's!)
