The goal of any well thought-out fitness program should be to create the exercise response you want in the least amount of time, while keeping hard work to a minimum. The whole idea is to be very efficient in how you train. You can be just as fit and have as high of a Vo2max. (Vo2max is a great indicator of how aerobically fit you are) as genetically possible by just doing a few short hard sprints a few times per week. Same goes for putting on muscle. All you really need is one hard work set per exercise to put on all the muscle your genetics will allow. The whole idea of eating a bunch of empty calories every day and then having to workout long and hard to keep your weight under control is just not worth the risk to your body. It's much smarter to control your weight with a healthy all natural diet and keep the hard workouts short and to a minimum.

Reps, Sets and Where to Exercise - Choosing Repetitions, Sets and Where to Workout - 0 views
-
How Many Reps/Sets To Do You've figured out the exercises you should be doing, but what about the number of sets and repetitions? Your decision should be based on your goals. The American College of Sports Medicine recommends 8-12 reps for muscular strength and 10-15 reps for muscular endurance. They also recommend at least 1 set of each exercise to fatigue although you'll find that most people perform about 2-3 sets of each exercise. In general:
-
For fat loss: 1-3 sets of 10-12 reps using enough weight that you can ONLY complete the desired reps.
-
To gain muscle: 3+ sets of 6-8 reps to fatigue. For beginners, give yourself several weeks of conditioning before going to this level. You may need a spotter for many exercises.

Low-carb Foods To Eat Before Exercising | LIVESTRONG.COM - 0 views
-
The theory behind low-carb diets is that when your body is deprived of carbs, your fat stores are burned to provide energy. This causes you to lose fat and stay slim and trim. Another benefit of a low-carb diet is that you tend to eat more protein, which helps build muscle. Make the change to a low-carb diet with an eye on how you feel and how much energy you have during your workouts and other daily activities.
-
The best way to reduce carbs in your diet is to restrict those foods that are comprised of simple carbs, such as snacks and foods made of refined sugar, white flour, white rice, snack foods, cakes, cookies and soda. Low-carb snacks or meals to eat before exercise include eggs, cheese, some fruits, vegetables and whole grains.

People with lower amounts of stored fat may find they do not have enough energy to get through the day. Low-carb diets also can cause “brain fog.”

We know that for athletes to optimize their performance and be successful, they must consume efficient amounts of nutrients from carbohydrates... Here are a few facts and tips about carb loading, its importance, who benefits, and more. By: Chuck Rudolph, MEd, RD Nov 25, 2009 Email More Article Summary: Endurance athletes will benefit from optimizing glycogen stores. Performance athlete should keep glycogen stores packed at all times. Carbs are the primary energy source for intense endurance exercise. Performance is defined as "the execution or accomplishment of work, acts, feats, etc." Today, we know a lot about how nutrition can affect the strength, speed and performance of athletes. We also know that for athletes to optimize their performance and be successful, they must consume efficient amounts of nutrients from carbohydrates, fats and proteins throughout the day.

Bodybuilding.com - The Best Time To Take Your Supplements. - 0 views

Creatine - Learn More Best taken 1/2 hour or so BEFORE a workout and again RIGHT after a workout. What I do is take a creatine/juice/protein drink about a half hour before a workout and than another shake right after. This "bracketing" technique helps set up an anabolic (muscle-building) state for your muscles and helps prevent muscle breakdown from a workout (catabolism). Other than these 2 opportune times, you can add another creatine serving or two any time throughout the day. I usually recommend 25 to 30 grams of creatine on a loading phase and 10-20 grams a day on a maintenance phase.
-
Glutamine - Learn More Definitely take glutamine right before bed. This is where the overwhelming research shows the value of glutamine raising growth hormone levels significantly by taking 5 grams before bed. Also, another great time is upon waking, when your muscles have been without significant nutrition for up to 6-8 hours. Another good time for glutamine is about a half hour or hour after working out. This helps in the recovery/recuperation process from demanding workouts. So, creatine definitely before and after your workout and glutamine right before bed and right upon waking.

The best times to take ANY protein drink or protein supplements are as follows. I've listed them in order of importance, so based upon what you can afford, start at the top of the list and work down. When Should You Take It? The most important time is right after a workout. Your muscles are like a sponge and need instant nutrition for muscle recovery and growth. Right before bed. You're about to sleep for 6 to 8 hours. That's a long time without protein. Could you imagine going throughout your day (when awake) not eating 6 to 8 hours? Right before bed is important. Right upon waking. Same thing, you've just gone 6 to 8 hours without proper nutrition. Your body needs protein quick. Half hour before a workout. This sets up the "anabolic window" before your workout and provides your muscles with adequate nutrition so that the effects of weight training (weight training breaks down muscle-called catabolic) are not as severe.

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.

How I can tell if I am working out hard enough or not? - 0 views

-
I can tell now, if I am working out hard or not. I can distinguish if I am working out hard is by finding out my heart rate, which allow me to know if I am actually working out my body. And your to find your heart rate it's explained how to do it, which is perfect for me, to know of how really hard have I worked out.
-
-
Heart Rate Ideally, cardio exercise should keep your heart rate somewhere between 60% and 80% of max. Anything less and you’re not really working out very hard. Anything more and you’re placing too much strain on your body. What’s My Max Heart Rate? A rough estimate of your max heart rate is 220 minus your age. So for me, being 34, my max heart rate is 186. That means that if I want to keep my workout between 60 and 80%, I should keep it somewhere between 111 and 148.

Include vigorous activity in your workout sessions at least three days each week. Although you need about 60 total minutes of exercise a day, the length of any one exercise session can be shorter. For example, you could do two 30-minute sessions or four 15-minute sessions spread throughout your day.

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

-
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.
