    For people trying to maximize workout gains and overall health and fitness, supplementing a meal plan with a protein bar or shake can be a very effective tactic. It's an easy way to ensure that you meet your dietary needs for protein and other nutrients.
  • Gurkirat S on 10 Jan 12
     
    Eating a protein bar before working out is a good way to fuel your body with energy. It will also send nutrients to your muscles. Eating immediately before a workout is never a great idea because you could end up feeling sluggish or cramped. Therefore, 45 minutes to an hour before the start of a workout is an ideal time to incorporate a protein bar or shake into your meal plan.
  • Gurkirat S on 10 Jan 12
     
    After working out, its even more important you intake protein from all the weight lifting, or exercising. You should eat something within half an hour or an hour after training session.

How Important Are Warm Up Sets In Bodybuilding? | LIVESTRONG.COM - 0 views

shared by Wasif H on 06 Jan 12 - No Cached
  • Warm-up sets are an important part of your bodybuilding routine regardless of your experience level. Because warm-up sets involve a relatively small amount of weight, they are a safe means for beginners to learn the correct form for an exercise.
  • For more advanced bodybuilders, performing either two or three warm-up sets, using progressively heavier weight, prepares the muscle for the work involved with your higher-intensity sets.
  • Performing a warm-up set begins the process of sending blood to the muscle you are training. A warm muscle is less susceptible to strains and pulls. During warm-up sets, your brain recognizes that resistance is being placed on your joints, and synovial fluid is released.
  • ...7 more annotations...
  • As a bodybuilder, your workouts are designed to promote hypertrophy, or muscle growth. According to Marc McDougal of bodybuilding.com, to promote hypertrophy you should perform two warm-up sets. Your repetitions should be in the four to six range.
  • The amount of weight you should use in your warm-up sets is based on percentages of the weight you plan to use in your working sets.
  • For example, if you plan to use 200 pounds for 10 repetitions in your working sets, use 50 percent of that weight for your first warm-up set. Your second warm-up set should be 80 percent of 200 pounds, or 160 pounds.
  • If you are gearing your workouts for increasing your strength, you will be working toward improving your one-repetition maximum lift on various exercises. Consequently, you will be lifting relatively heavy weight with fewer repetitions. In this case, perform between three to five warm-up sets. Increase the weight on each warm-up set, and perform between one and six repetitions.
  • Avoid performing your repetitions during your warm-up sets too quickly. If you perform your repetitions too quickly on a cold muscle, you risk injuring yourself. The repetitions should move through a complete range of motion at a slow and controlled tempo.
  • For example, if you plan to do work sets of three repetitions with 250 pounds, the weight you use for your warm-up sets would be percentages of 250 pounds. Your first warm-up set would be 50 percent of 250 pounds, and you would perform five repetitions.

How Much Cardio Should You Do In Your Exercise? | LIVESTRONG.COM - 0 views

www.livestrong.com/...should-you-do-in-your-exercise cardio exercise healthy training athletes
shared by Wasif H on 06 Jan 12 - No Cached
  • For optimum fitness, all adults should supplement cardio with muscle-strengthening exercises at least two days each week. Stronger muscles help keep you stable to reduce your risk of injury during your cardio sessions. Increased lean muscle mass also helps you burn calories at a faster rate. Examples of muscle-strengthening activities include pushups, weightlifting and Pilates.
  • The exercise likely isn't intense enough if you can still sing lyrics to your favorite song without needing to take a breather. You need not stick to just one intensity level or the other. Alternate between speeds in one session or alternate from one day to the next. If you decide to exercise this way, aim for an average of 25 minutes four days per week.
  • Cardio exercises such as swimming, dancing and biking require you to continuously move major muscle groups, leading to an elevated heart beat and increased blood flow throughout the body.
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • If performed on a regular basis, cardio exercises can improve your cardiovascular system and increase your chances of living a longer life.
  • Most healthy adults should aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate-intensity cardio five days per week or 20 minutes of vigorous-intensity cardio three days per week, according to the American College of Sports Medicine.

      These numbers show that throughout the years on average the obesity rate in Canada has risen, not in all categories, but in the majority. I haven't posted all age groups, so just click on the link. These numbers also give the a legitimate reason as to why the government taxes so much on unhealthy (junk) food, whereas you don't get taxed on fruits and vegetables. If this system does work, then junk food will become more expensive than healthy food. Which is definitely a good thing. I think countries that don't impose such laws are seeing the most rise in obesity rates, take the US for an example. You can get a meal for $10 here at McDonald's, where in the states $10 could literally get you five meals. Also the states has no limit to coupons. You are allowed to use multiple coupons for one transaction for a single item, and get it totally free, in Canada one coupon per transaction. Finding coupons is not that difficult and you can virtually get things free in the states. Free and food always works with everyone, and it doesn't matter what the food may be.

Obesity Silent Killer in India - YouTube - 0 views

    The fact that obesity has become the number one reason of death, alongside malnutrition, is a frightening thought. Currently, in Canada, the number one cause of death is cancer, which is in many cases uncontrolled by the person who is diagnosed by it. But obesity, however, is a something we do to ourselves because we don't look after our bodies. And it is more difficult as well for people in India to find an alternative source to unhealthy food, because of the country's economic state. Perhaps with further government funding for health issues, the country might be able to work at one of it's major causes of deaths.
