		<description><![CDATA[So much focus and attention is placed on the idea of “weight loss” and “losing weight” that most typical beginners seem to lose sight of the actual concrete goal of achieving a lean, defined and healthy body…

Here’s a hint…

It’s NOT a simple matter of “losing weight”.

In fact, let’s go ahead and remove the term “weight loss” from our fitness vocabulary altogether.

Why?

It’s because “losing weight” is NOT what you should be concerned with!

If you’re reading this article right now, then chances are that you’re looking to achieve at least one of the following goals…]]></description>

<div class="postcontent">
<p><font face="Verdana">So much focus and attention is placed on the idea of &ldquo;weight loss&rdquo; and &ldquo;losing weight&rdquo; that most typical beginners seem to lose sight of the actual concrete goal of achieving a lean, defined and healthy body&hellip;</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">Here&rsquo;s a hint&hellip;</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">It&rsquo;s NOT a simple matter of &ldquo;losing weight&rdquo;. </font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">In fact, let&rsquo;s go ahead and remove the term &ldquo;weight loss&rdquo; from our fitness vocabulary altogether.</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">Why?</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">It&rsquo;s because &ldquo;losing weight&rdquo; is NOT what you should be concerned with!</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">If you&rsquo;re reading this article right now, then chances are that you&rsquo;re looking to achieve at least one of the following goals&hellip;</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">1) Improve your appearance to feel more confident, attractive and sexy.<br />
										2) Enhance your overall health to increase longevity and quality of living.<br />
										3) Boost your energy levels and mood to feel better about yourself on a daily basis.</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">Surely there are other reasons as well&hellip; but for the majority of you out there, these are probably your primary concerns.</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">Am I right?</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">If so, it is absolutely critical that you understand the following&hellip;</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">Losing body weight on its own will NOT allow you to achieve these goals. Instead, all of your focus must be placed on changing your body composition with an effective fat burning routine.</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">The reason for this is simple&hellip;</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">Your body is made up of various different &ldquo;types&rdquo; of weight, all of which contribute differently to your overall appearance and health.</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">There are very &ldquo;heavy&rdquo; individuals who are in excellent health with lean and impressive bodies&hellip; and there are very &ldquo;light&rdquo; individuals who are in poor health with soft, flabby and out-of-shape bodies.</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">Your overall body weight is made up of various different components, such as body fat, muscle tissue, water and glycogen. The haphazard approach of simply aiming to &ldquo;lose weight&rdquo; is incredibly misguided as it does not take these specific types of body weight into account.</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">In order to achieve your goal of a lean, energetic and healthy body, your goal is to get rid of the excessive amounts of &ldquo;bad&rdquo; body weight while maintaining as much &ldquo;good&rdquo; body weight as you can, which is done with an effective fat burning routine.</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">To put it simply, the underlying goal of your entire program is as follows&hellip;</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">Burn off body fat while maintaining lean muscle mass.</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">This is truly the only way to get into the shape you desire and to set yourself up for permanent, positive long-term results.</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">Stop obsessing about the number on the scale! </font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">Instead, start worrying about gradually dropping your body fat percentage while holding on to your lean muscle mass, with an effective fat burning routine.</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">There are three primary reasons why you should focus on this&hellip;</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">First of all&hellip; one very important factor that determines your body&rsquo;s basal metabolic rate (the number of calories you burn at rest) is the amount of lean muscle tissue you have on your body. The more muscle you have, the faster your fat burning metabolism operates. </font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">Secondly&hellip; maintaining a reasonable level of muscular development will allow you to achieve the shapely and athletic appearance that the majority of you are probably striving for. </font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">A low body fat percentage may be the ultimate goal, but without a decent amount of muscle mass your body will simply take on a small and smooth form without those &ldquo;cuts&rdquo; and &ldquo;lines&rdquo; that are considered so desirable.</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">Finally&hellip; those who simply place themselves on &ldquo;crash diets&rdquo; and attempt to drop large amounts of body weight over short periods of time are inevitably doomed to fail. Such an approach places the body into a starved state and actually programs you to store more fat over the long run.</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">The body will react to severe calorie deficits by slowing down the metabolism in an attempt to conserve energy, wasting away lean muscle mass, and increasing the production of hormones that inhibit fat loss.</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">The end result is an unhealthy, out of shape body that, while being temporarily &ldquo;lighter&rdquo; than it was before, has now been programmed to store fat and will inevitably end up returning back to its original weight and more.</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">The way to avoid all of the negative effects listed above is simple&hellip; </font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">Structure your &ldquo;weight loss&rdquo; approach in such a way that you aim to gradually reduce your body fat levels while keeping your lean muscle tissue levels in tact. This is done with an effective fat burning routine.</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">An effective fat burning routine is the ONLY realistic way to burn fat, keep it off over the long run, and achieve the kind of lean and athletic appearance that you strive for.</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">Forget about this obsession with trying to lower the number on the scale as fast as possible, as it is only one small piece of a much larger and more important fat burning routine puzzle.</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">To equip yourself with the rest of the pieces to that fat burning routine puzzle, go ahead and visit <a href="http://atozfitness.com/wordpress/go.php?http://howtoburnyourfat.atozfitness.com" target="_blank" title="(130 hits)"> http://howtoburnyourfat.atozfitness.com</a> .

For most aspiring lifters, an impressive physique is all about a
huge chest and arms. Week after week they slave away on endless
sets of bench presses and barbell curls in search of the rippling
muscle gains they want so badly.

Not surprisingly, those gains never appear in any significant
form. ]]></description>

<p>
														<font face="Verdana" size="2">Let&rsquo;s be honest here&hellip;</font></p>
<p>
														<font face="Verdana" size="2">For most aspiring lifters, an impressive physique is all about a<br />
														huge chest and arms. Week after week they slave away on endless<br />
														sets of bench presses and barbell curls in search of the rippling<br />
														muscle gains they want so badly.</font></p>
<p>
														<font face="Verdana" size="2">Not surprisingly, those gains never appear in any significant<br />
														form. </font></p>
<p>
														<font face="Verdana" size="2">While a well developed chest and arms is clearly an important<br />
														part of any complete physique, the truth is that these muscles<br />
														only play a small role when compared to a much larger, much more<br />
														intricate muscle group that most people severely neglect in their<br />
														training programs. </font></p>
<p>
														<font face="Verdana" size="2">I am, of course, talking about the major muscles of the back:<br />
														the lats, traps, spinal erectors, rhomboids and lower back. </font></p>
<p>
														<font face="Verdana" size="2">Allow me to let you in on a little secret&hellip;</font></p>
<p>
														<font face="Verdana" size="2">If you want to appear as wide, thick and powerful as you<br />
														possibly can, nothing will allow you to achieve this goal faster<br />
														than a well developed back.</font></p>
<p>
														<font face="Verdana" size="2">In fact, 70% of your upper body muscle mass resides in this<br />
														area! </font></p>
<p>
														<font face="Verdana" size="2">Please, get up off that bench press and put down that EZ-curl<br />
														bar for just a moment and let me share a simple, step-by-step<br />
														workout that you can use to build the muscular back you so<br />
														desperately need. </font></p>
<p>
														<font face="Verdana" size="2">There are 4 major movements that you must perform to properly<br />
														develop your back&hellip; </font></p>
<p>
														<font face="Verdana" size="2">1) Deadlifts</font></p>
<p>
														<font face="Verdana" size="2">I cannot possibly stress the importance of this lift enough.<br />
														There is not a single exercise out there that can even come close<br />
														to matching the effectiveness of a basic, bent-legged barbell<br />
														deadlift.</font></p>
<p>
														<font face="Verdana" size="2">The deadlift will work you from finger to neck to toe and is<br />
														irreplaceable in developing strong, thick back muscles.</font></p>
<p>
														<font face="Verdana" size="2">2) A vertical pulling movement</font></p>
<p>
														<font face="Verdana" size="2">These exercises mainly target the lat muscles and will help you<br />
														to attain that wide, v-tapered look from behind. Examples of<br />
														vertical pulling movements are chin-ups (overhand or underhand),<br />
														lat pulldowns and v-bar pulldowns. </font></p>
<p>
														<font face="Verdana" size="2">3) A horizontal pulling movement</font></p>
<p>
														<font face="Verdana" size="2">Otherwise referred to as &ldquo;rows&rdquo;, horizontal pulling<br />
														movements place their emphasis on the upper/middle portion of the<br />
														back and also stimulate the lats. There are a ton of different<br />
														rowing movements to choose from: bent over barbell rows, dumbbell<br />
														rows, seated machine rows and cable rows just to name a few. </font></p>
<p>
														<font face="Verdana" size="2">4) A shrugging movement</font></p>
<p>
														<font face="Verdana" size="2">While not quite as important as the above mentioned lifts, a<br />
														shrugging movement should still be performed at the end of the<br />
														workout to target the upper traps and develop that mountainous,<br />
														diamond-shaped look from behind. </font></p>
<p>
														<font face="Verdana" size="2">Okay, let&#39;s put it all together&hellip; </font></p>
<p>
														<font face="Verdana" size="2">Deadlifts &ndash; 2 sets of 5 to 7 reps <br />
														Overhand Chin-Ups &ndash; 2 sets of 5 to 7 reps <br />
														Bent Over Barbell Rows &ndash; 2 sets of 5 to 7 reps<br />
														Barbell Shrugs &ndash; 2 Sets of 10 to 12 reps </font></p>
<p>
														<font face="Verdana" size="2">For optimal gains in back size and strength, the above routine<br />
														is ideal. </font></p>
<p>
														<font face="Verdana" size="2">It may not seem like a lot, but as long as you take every set to<br />
														muscular failure and focus on quality rather than quantity, this<br />
														routine provides more than enough stimulation for maximum back<br />
														growth. </font></p>
<p>
														<font face="Verdana" size="2">Perform this workout once per week with full effort and I<br />
														guarantee that your upper body will appear thicker, wider and<br />
														more muscular than ever before. </font></p>

		<description><![CDATA[Listen... if you want to get big results, you have to train big.

Muscles grow due to a natural adaptive survival response, and if
you don’t give them a damn good reason to grow, well, they
won’t.

While training hard and heavy may be awesome for your muscles,
it can be trouble for the health of your joints and connective
tissue.

This is simply the reality of intense weight training, and while
there are no guarantees that you will be able to completely avoid
getting injured, you can certainly take specific steps to lessen
the chance. ]]></description>

cardio machines are best and what criteria should we use to
determine which machines to focus on?]]></description>

<p class="MsoPlainText"><font color="#990000">&nbsp;</font><font face="Verdana">&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-|</p>
<p>                                    Set foot in any traditional gym across the country and you&rsquo;ll find an endless array of different cardio machines&#8230; from treadmills to stationary bikes to stairclimbers to ellipticals.</font></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><font face="Verdana">A well structured cardio program obviously plays an important<br />
                                    role in any effective fat burning workout plan&#8230; but which<br />
                                    cardio machines are best and what criteria should we use to<br />
                                    determine which machines to focus on?</font></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><font face="Verdana">It need not be a complicated process, but here are the 2 main<br />
                                    factors that I would suggest looking out for when deciding which<br />
                                    machines to include in your program&hellip;</p>
<p>                                    1) The machine should not require very much skill to use.<br />
                                    In other words, stick to cardio machines that are simplistic and<br />
                                    mechanical in nature. Your goal during a cardio session is not to<br />
                                    aimlessly slave away for a marathon session lasting an hour or<br />
                                    more, but rather to keep the session short, concise and highly<br />
                                    intensive.</p>
<p>                                    For this reason, you don&rsquo;t want to have to divert your focus<br />
                                    onto balancing yourself on the machine or maintaining a specific<br />
                                    form throughout the workout. </p>
<p>                                    Instead, you should pick a cardio exercise that is basic and<br />
                                    straightforward to execute so that the majority of your focus can<br />
                                    be placed on generating a high level of intensity.</p>
<p>                                    2) The machine should minimize the risk of injury. One of your primary goals when it comes to both weight training and cardiovascular exercise is to keep your joints and connective<br />
                                    tissues strong and healthy at all times. </p>
<p>                                    For this reason, you should try to stick to machines that<br />
                                    produce low impact on your joints and that also don&rsquo;t aggravate<br />
                                    any existing injuries you may have. </p>
<p>                                    Experiment with different machines to see how they feel for you.<br />
                                    If any specific machine causes you discomfort, make sure to steer<br />
                                    clear of it.</p>
<p>                                    Here are a few of the machines I specifically recommend using<br />
                                    based on the above criteria&hellip;</p>
<p>                                    ***Upright Stationary Bike<br />
                                    This machine is extremely straightforward to use and will allow<br />
                                    you to place all of your focus on generating a high level of<br />
                                    intensity without having to worry about your form. </p>
<p>                                    It is also a very low impact exercise and will keep the stress<br />
                                    off of your joints. Stationary bikes are also easily programmable<br />
                                    and are ideal when performing interval-style training, which is<br />
                                    the kind that I most highly recommend.</p>
<p>                                    ***Recumbent Bike<br />
                                    This is the same as a stationary bike, only your body is in a<br />
                                    seated position. The seated position will take some of the stress<br />
                                    off of your lower back, which is a nice advantage for those who<br />
                                    have previous lower back problems.</p>
<p>                                    ***Treadmill<br />
                                    Another great choice when implementing an interval-style of<br />
                                    training. Treadmills are a great alternative to running outdoors,<br />
                                    because the platforms are designed to produce less impact on the<br />
                                    joints. If you want to increase the difficulty you can also raise<br />
                                    the platform up on an incline.</p>
<p>                                    ***Stairclimber<br />
                                    A stairclimber can be used by anyone from beginners to advanced.<br />
                                    It is another low impact movement and allows you to keep the<br />
                                    majority of your focus on putting forth a hard effort. Make sure<br />
                                    to avoid leaning on the handle bars as this will reduce the<br />
                                    intensity of the workout.</p>
<p>                                    Hopefully this has helped you understand which cardio machines<br />
                                    are the safest and most effective fat burning solutions to<br />
                                    include in your program.<br />

<p><font face="Verdana">Everyone wants a huge chest, plain and simple.</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">It is all too common to see inexperienced lifters slaving away<br />
                                    on endless sets of bench presses and cable crossovers in search<br />
                                    of full, thick pecs. The reality is that there is nothing<br />
                                    complicated about building an impressive chest. </font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">The bottom line for huge chest gains is consistency, effort and<br />
                                    steady progression in weight and repetitions.</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">To stimulate the chest using weights you will be using one of<br />
                                    two motions: a press or a flye. If you want the greatest bang for<br />
                                    your buck from your chest workouts, the true gains lie in your<br />
                                    pressing movements. </font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">Here are the most effective lifts for packing muscle onto the<br />
                                    chest:</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana"><br />
                                    1) Flat/Incline/Decline Barbell Bench Press</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">A standard barbell press is the meat and potatoes of any<br />
                                    effective chest routine. This basic compound movement will allow<br />
                                    you to handle the most weight through the given range of motion.</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">The incline press will shift more of the stress to the upper<br />
                                    region of the chest while the decline does the opposite,<br />
                                    targeting the lower/outer region. The flat bench press works the<br />
                                    upper and lower regions equally. I highly recommend a standard<br />
                                    barbell press as a basic component of your chest routine.</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana"><br />
                                    2) Flat/Incline/Decline Dumbbell Press</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">Dumbbell presses are another basic and highly effective movement for stimulating chest development. The main advantage that they have over the barbell is that they allow you to move through a more natural range of motion, helping to prevent shoulder injuries. </font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">They also prevent strength imbalances from occurring since one<br />
                                    arm can&#8217;t cheat for the other.</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana"><br />
                                    3) Wide-Grip Dips</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">An amazing movement for the chest that is often overlooked. Make sure to use a wider grip and lean forward to shift the stress<br />
                                    from the triceps onto the pectorals. </font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">If pressing your own body weight is not sufficient then you can<br />
                                    always add resistance using a weight belt.</font></p>

<p align="left"><span class="style5"> 								<font face="Verdana">In 								<a target="_self" href="http://atozfitness.com/wordpress/go.php?http://atozfitness.com/wordpress/carbohydrates-fat-loss-clearing-up-the-confusion-part-1/" title="(292 hits)"> 								Part 1</a>, we established that the ultimate  								goal of effective fat burning carbohydrate  								consumption is to keep blood sugar levels  								consistent and balanced. In doing so, insulin  								levels will remain under control, the fat  								burning metabolism will be maximized and the  								body&#8217;s energy levels and mood will remain  								elevated.</p>
<p>                                    The only issue now is to determine which sources  								of carbohydrates will aid us in achieving that  								goal. This is where things get a bit trickier,  								as there are several factors that need to be  								addressed.</p>
<p>                                    Carbohydrates are essentially broken down into  								two main categories: &ldquo;simple&rdquo; and &ldquo;complex&rdquo;. </p>
<p>                                    Carbohydrates are basically &ldquo;rings&rdquo; of  								carbon/hydrogen/oxygen, and it is the number of  								rings and the manner in which they hook together  								that determines whether they are simple or  								complex.</p>
<p>                                    Conventional wisdom used to tell us that we  								should limit our consumption of simple  								carbohydrates and focus on consuming complex  								carbohydrates. The logic behind this was that  								the simpler structures are broken down faster  								while the complex structures are broken down  								gradually.</p>
<p>                                    We now know that this is not entirely accurate.  								For example, a white potato is a complex  								carbohydrate that raises blood sugar levels  								quickly, while an apple is a simple carbohydrate  								that raises blood sugar levels slowly.</p>
<p>                                    This brings us to a more accurate tool: the  								glycemic index. </p>
<p>                                    Rather than focusing on the notions of &ldquo;simple&rdquo;  								and &ldquo;complex&rdquo;, the glycemic index evaluates the  								rate at which carbohydrates raise blood sugar  								levels by assigning them a ranking between 0 and  								100. </p>
<p>                                    In general, a GI ranking of 55 or less  								classifies a carbohydrate as &ldquo;low glycemic&rdquo;  								(raises blood sugar levels very slowly)&#8230; 56 to  								69 would be considered &ldquo;medium&rdquo; (raises blood  								sugar levels at a moderate pace)&#8230; while 70 and  								above is considered &ldquo;high&rdquo; (raises blood sugar  								levels quickly and sharply).</p>
<p>                                    While the GI is a more accurate criteria to use  								as opposed to the &ldquo;simple&rdquo; and &ldquo;complex&rdquo; method,  								the drawback is that each ranking is based on  								that specific food source consumed on its own in  								a fasted state. </p>
<p>                                    We never consume carbohydrates on their own (in  								order to maximize fat loss they should always be  								combined with a lean protein source), and we  								rarely ever consume them in a fasted state. 								</font></span></p>
<p align="left"><span class="style5"> 								<font face="Verdana">This is very important,  								because when carbohydrates are combined with  								other food sources (such as proteins and fats),  								their GI properties can be dramatically altered.</p>
<p>                                    So while the glycemic index IS one useful tool  								that can be utilized as part of the overall  								picture, <br />
                                    relying on it as the sole means of carbohydrate  								selection is an obvious mistake.</p>
<p>                                    The next and final criteria that can be used is  								the issue of &ldquo;natural&rdquo; carbohydrate sources  								versus &ldquo;refined&rdquo; carbohydrate sources. </p>
<p>                                    Refined carbohydrates are foods where the high  								fiber bits (the bran and germ) have been removed  								from the grain. White rice, white bread, sugary  								cereals and any item made from white flour are  								all examples of refined carbohydrates. These  								sources of carbohydrates are very simplistic in  								structure, low in nutritional value and raise  								blood sugar levels quickly and sharply. </p>
<p>                                    Natural carbohydrates are simply those which  								have not been modified and still contain the  								whole grain, including the bran and germ. These  								sources are high in fiber, take longer to  								digest, are more nutritious, will keep you  								feeling full for longer, and have a negligible  								effect on blood sugar levels when consumed as  								part of a balanced meal. </p>
<p>                                    To determine if a carbohydrate source is  								natural, look for the first ingredient on the  								package to be whole wheat flour, brown rice, rye  								flour, barley, or oats. Terms such as &ldquo;rice  								syrup&rdquo;, &ldquo;corn syrup&rdquo;, &ldquo;sucrose&rdquo; and &ldquo;brown  								sugar&rdquo; all indicate that the source has been  								refined, as does any product made from white  								flour.</p>
<p>                                    As you can see, there is more than one criteria  								to be used when choosing fat burning  								carbohydrate sources. </p>
<p>                                    Here is a summed up review that takes all  								factors into account&hellip;</p>
<p>                                    <strong>1) </strong>Refined carbohydrate sources  								of any kind should be avoided.</p>
<p>                                    <strong>2)</strong> Unrefined starchy  								carbohydrate sources are fine to consume as part  								of a balanced meal.</p>
<p>                                    <strong>3)</strong> Vegetables of all kinds are  								highly acceptable, particularly green fibrous  								vegetables.</p>
<p>                                    <strong>4)</strong> Fruit sources on the medium  								to lower end of the glycemic index are  								acceptable with a maximum of 2-3 pieces per day.</p>
<p>                                    <strong>5)</strong> Low fat and non-fat dairy  								products are fine to consume in moderation.</p>
<p>                                    With all of that in mind, here is a basic list  								of carbohydrate sources to include in your fat  								burning diet&hellip;</font></span></p>
<p class="style6"><font face="Verdana"> 								Carbohydrate sources that should form the bulk  								of your diet</font></p>
<p class="style5">Vegetables of all kinds<br />

Over the last decade a virtually endless amount of advice, fad diets and hard-fast rules have been put into place regarding proper carbohydrate consumption. As a result, most average beginners have been left clueless and without any rational guidance on the topic.

                        No other nutrient out there is surrounded by more  						confusion, hype and contradiction than the all-too-famous carbohydrate.</font></p>
<p align="left" class="style5"><font face="Verdana">Over  						the last decade a virtually endless amount of advice,  						fad diets and hard-fast rules have been put into place  						regarding proper carbohydrate consumption. As a result,  						most average beginners have been left clueless and  						without any rational guidance on the topic.</p>
<p>                        In this 2-part article I will attempt to provide a very  						basic and straightforward framework to help you choose  						which sources of carbohydrates to include in your fat  						burning diet. This will simply be a broad, overall  						examination of the topic in order to keep things as easy  						to understand for you as possible.</p>
<p>                        So&#8230; what exactly IS a carbohydrate?</p>
<p>                        Sugar. </p>
<p>                        Whether you consume a plate of spaghetti noodles, a bowl  						of grapes or a chocolate bar, carbohydrates will always  						eventually be broken down into their simplest form:  						glucose.</p>
<p>                        The main function of glucose is to provide fuel for your  						muscles and brain in order to carry out your daily  						tasks.</p>
<p>                        While the end product of all carbohydrates is the same,  						it is the manner in which they reach that final end  						product that is important to us in terms of burning fat.</p>
<p>                        When you eat foods containing carbohydrates, the body  						will digest and break them down into glucose, which is  						then released into the bloodstream to be used as a  						source of fuel. The main difference amongst different  						carbohydrate sources is the speed at which the sugars  						are broken down for use.</p>
<p>                        Some carbohydrates raise blood sugar levels quickly and  						sharply, while others are broken down and released at a  						slow, gradual pace.</p>
<p>                        As a person looking to burn body fat and maintain high  						levels of energy for your workouts, your primary goal  						when consuming carbohydrates is simple: keep blood sugar  						levels consistent and balanced.</p>
<p>                        Why?</p>
<p>                        It&rsquo;s all related to insulin, which is a hormone that  						controls the amount of sugar in the bloodstream by  						moving it into the cells of the body. </font></p>
<p align="left" class="style5"><font face="Verdana">When  						you consume carbohydrates that are broken down quickly,  						the body must release a large amount of insulin in order  						to compensate. The insulin will remove the sugar from  						the bloodstream very quickly, which will then result in  						lower-than-normal blood sugar levels.</p>
<p>                        Low blood sugar levels will result in feelings of  						tiredness and fatigue, and will also produce hunger  						pangs which can then lead to binge eating. </font></p>
<p align="left" class="style5"><font face="Verdana">In  						addition, high levels of insulin increase the body&#8217;s  						rate of fat storage. When insulin is present in large  						amounts, fat cannot be used as an energy source by the  						body due to a rise in enzymes that prevent fat  						mobilization.</p>
<p>                        To put it simply&#8230; </font></p>
<p align="left" class="style5"><font face="Verdana">When  						you consume carbohydrates that raise blood sugar levels  						quickly, you end up in a constant cycle of sharp rises  						in blood sugar followed by dramatic falls. This inhibits  						your ability to burn fat and throws your energy levels,  						appetite and mood completely out of order.</p>
<p>                        Because of the above-mentioned facts, the ultimate goal  						of proper carbohydrate consumption is to stick to meals  						that keep blood sugar levels balanced. This is  						accomplished by focusing on food sources that are broken  						down and released gradually in the bloodstream. </p>
<p>                        By always maintaining steady blood sugar levels, your  						body will remain in a continual fat burning state, your  						energy levels will remain peaked, and your appetite will  						be kept under control.</p>
<p>                        We have now established what the GOAL of proper  						carbohydrate consumption is, and in Part 2 we will  						discuss which specific sources can help you achieve that  						goal&hellip;</p>

<p>                                    <span style="font-family: Arial"><img border="0" alt="" width="493" height="391" src="http://www.howtoburnfat.com/images/tableau-maleB.jpg" /></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="en-ca"><span style="font-family: Arial">My wife Sarah who is the AtoZfitness resident certified trainer got her hands on a copy of Sean&#8217;s complete new system a few weeks ago and this is what she had to say.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial"><span lang="EN-CA">I&rsquo;m sure you want to know the answer to one question: What is the truth about burning fat? Well, now you can have the answer to that, in Sean Nalewanyj&rsquo;s new e-book called The Truth About Burning Fat! </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial"><span lang="EN-CA">What makes this book different from other fat loss books? You&rsquo;ve bought a few already, or you are debating which one to get as your first; why would you pick this one rather than another? </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial"><span lang="EN-CA">In truth, it contains a lot of the same information as many other fat loss books. However, I truly believe this is a good book for someone just starting to look for answers, for the simple reason that it&rsquo;s written in a fashion that is easy to grasp, yet complete enough that the reader will have to think a little for themselves as well, not just blindly follow the instructions.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial"><span lang="EN-CA">You think endless cardio is the answer? Well, there is that, but the first thing you have to get to grips with, is the nutrition. Sean covers this aspect in his first section of the book, extensively and easily understood. I&rsquo;ve read a good few nutrition chapters, and this was absolutely top notch.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial"><span lang="EN-CA">The next section is on weight training. I know there are a lot of women &ndash; and some men too &ndash; who believe they&rsquo;ll look like Jay Cutler if they so much as look at a weight over 2 lbs, but I wish the belief that you get bulky if you train weights would soon be obliterated, because frankly &#8230; unless you take illicit drugs, you will not get those big muscles! Sean explains it all, how to progress, when and how much to rest, etc. Go for it, have fun with the dumbbells!</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial"><span lang="EN-CA">Yes, you do get information on cardio too, don&rsquo;t worry. It comes third. And everyone seems to think it&rsquo;s the first component! No way. Do it, yes, but don&rsquo;t think you can do an hour of cardio and go to the ice cream parlour or burger joint afterwards and get away with it! </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial"><span lang="EN-CA">What I also like about his book is the fourth section &#8230; tracking, feedback, knowing where you&rsquo;re going. Seeing the scale numbers shift is one thing, but what if you&rsquo;re burning 2 lbs of fat and adding 1 lb of muscle; you think you only lost 1 lb that week, in spite of all your efforts! In reality, you lost 2 lbs of jiggly stuff and added 1 lb of firm; victory! Sean will tell you how to figure it all out and know where you&rsquo;re heading.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial"><span lang="EN-CA"><strong>My conclusion is</strong>, if you are new to this and want an easy-to-understand answer, this is a great buy. If you are already the proud owner of a few fat loss e-books, this one will give you everything on a platter, in one package so to speak, and in easy to grasp terms. In addition, I really liked the writing style, which always makes it easier to read any book.</span></span></p>

		<description><![CDATA[As an individual who desires a lean, attractive and “fat-free” appearance, you most likely have the idea that your ultimate dietary goal is to limit your consumption of fat as much as possible.

And who could blame you for thinking that? For years we’ve been told that low-fat diets are the only healthy solution and that dietary fat is somehow an evil, harmful substance that should be steered clear of at all costs. Just walk into any grocery store and you’ll be bombarded with package after package of “low fat” and “fat free” products lining the shelves. For those of you who point the finger at dietary fat as the major cause of a soft and flabby body, here’s an interesting fact for you…

<p align="left"><span style="font-family: Arial"><span class="style5">As an individual who desires a lean, attractive and &ldquo;fat-free&rdquo; appearance, you most likely have the idea that your ultimate dietary goal is to limit your consumption of fat as much as possible.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial">And who could blame you for thinking that?</span> <span style="font-family: Arial">For years we&rsquo;ve been told that low-fat diets are the only healthy solution and that dietary fat is somehow an evil, harmful substance that should be steered clear of at all costs. Just walk into any grocery store and you&rsquo;ll be bombarded with package after package of &ldquo;low fat&rdquo; and &ldquo;fat free&rdquo; products lining the shelves.</span> <span style="font-family: Arial">For those of you who point the finger at dietary fat as the major cause of a soft and flabby body, here&rsquo;s an interesting fact for you&hellip;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial">Despite the current obesity crisis in the United States (where 7 out of 10 individuals over the age of 25 are considered overweight) our consumption of dietary fat is actually at an all-time low!</span> <span style="font-family: Arial">That&rsquo;s correct, we&rsquo;re consuming LESS fat, yet we&rsquo;re FATTER than ever!</span> <span style="font-family: Arial">How could this be?</span> <span style="font-family: Arial">Simple: diets that focus on the extreme restriction of fat consumption are actually counter-productive to your fat burning results.</span> <span style="font-family: Arial">Don&rsquo;t believe me?</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial">Let me give you 5 good reasons why&hellip;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial"><strong>1) Low-fat diets are naturally higher in sugar.</strong></span> <span style="font-family: Arial">Fats contain 9 calories per gram, and when you place severe limitations on your fat intake, you&rsquo;ll naturally have to make up for those lost calories through an increased consumption of protein and carbohydrates.</span> <span style="font-family: Arial">For most individuals, this means piling up their intake of fruits, breads, pastas and other such items that, while low in fat, are very high in sugar. Although your body requires a certain amount of glucose to fuel its daily tasks, any excess that isn&rsquo;t needed and cannot be stored in the muscles for future use will simply be stored as fat. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial"><strong>2) Low-fat diets increase cravings and hunger pangs. </strong>Not only does the addition of dietary fat provide a more &ldquo;filling&rdquo; effect from the meals that you eat, but since your carbohydrate consumption is now naturally higher, your blood sugar levels and insulin production will be in overdrive. </span></p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-family: Arial"><span class="style5">Constant rising and falling of blood sugar not only lowers your energy and increases your appetite, but it increases your body&#8217;s rate of fat storage as well. </span></span></p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-family: Arial"><strong>3) Low-fat diets decrease testosterone levels.</strong></span> <span style="font-family: Arial">Most people are aware that testosterone plays a large role in the process of building lean muscle tissue (which in turn causes greater body fat losses), but testosterone in itself also has direct fat burning effects. </span></p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-family: Arial"><span class="style5">Diets that focus on significant reductions in fat consumption also produce a measurable negative effect on testosterone production. </span></span></p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-family: Arial"><strong>4) Low-fat diets increase the rate of body fat storage.</strong></span> <span style="font-family: Arial">Your body is a far more complex and intricate &ldquo;machine&rdquo; than you might think, and it has all sorts of defensive survival mechanisms in place to deal with stressful situations. When you severely reduce your fat intake, the body perceives this lack of dietary fat as a potential threat to its survival since fat is a primary source of energy. </span><span style="font-family: Arial">As a result, the body will make the necessary adjustments which include a slow-down in the fat burning metabolism (to preserve its current fat stores) and a rise in hormones that promote fat storage.</span></p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-family: Arial"><strong>5) Low-fat diets are unhealthy.</strong></span> <span style="font-family: Arial">Your body quite simply NEEDS dietary fat in order for regular and healthy functioning. Forget about your concerns with storing body fat; if you deprive your body of the fat it needs to keep you alive and healthy, you will inevitably cause problems. </span><span style="font-family: Arial">Fats perform an endless array of positive functions in the body, including brain and nerve tissue development, organ insulation, immune system strengthening, anti-inflammatory effects, controlling cell membrane fluids and regulating hemoglobin production just to name a small fraction.</span> <span style="font-family: Arial">For all of the reasons outlined above, your dietary fat intake should NEVER drop below 10% of your total daily caloric intake. </span></p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-family: Arial">This is just a minimum, and 15-20% is probably ideal.</span> <span style="font-family: Arial">It&rsquo;s not fat itself that is the enemy; it&rsquo;s simply consuming the wrong types of fat, and consuming it in excessive amounts. However, it must be noted that an excess of ANY nutrient will lead to body fat storage.</span> <span style="font-family: Arial">Your goal should be to limit your intake of saturated fats (those that are solid at room temperature and are typically found in animal meats), and instead place the majority of your focus on healthy, unsaturated fats which are derived from plant sources and are liquid at room temperature. </span><span style="font-family: Arial">This favorable form of fat provides a whole host of powerful fat burning, muscle building and overall health benefits and should make up the vast majority of your daily fat intake.</span> <span style="font-family: Arial">You can consume these fats through solid food sources such as:</span></p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-family: Arial"><span class="style5">- salmon &#8211; cod &#8211; sardines &#8211; mackerel &#8211; avocado &#8211; almonds &#8211; flaxseeds &#8211; olives &#8211; peanuts &#8211; pecans</span></span></p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-family: Arial"><span class="style5">Or from healthy oils such as:</span></span></p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-family: Arial">- <span class="style5">flaxseed oil &#8211; extra virgin olive oil &#8211; fish oil &#8211; canola oil &#8211; sunflower oil &#8211; hemp oil</span></span></p>

<p class="MsoPlainText"><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color="#800000">Do you want to know  									how to triple your results from your  									resistance training? Why wouldn&#8217;t you?</font></p>
<p>                                    <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color="#800000">									</font></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color="#800000">Properly conducted  									resistance training can give you startling  									fat loss results, along with muscle and  									strength gains.&nbsp; On top of that, when using  									the techniques I describe in the Fat Burning  									Furnace system, you&#8217;ll also receive &quot;top  									drawer&quot; cardiovascular health benefits.&nbsp; And  									all from 2-3&nbsp; workouts each week lasting  									just 15-25 minutes on average.</font></p>
<p>                                    <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color="#800000">									</font></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color="#800000">But, you&#8217;ve got to  									do them right, not like the average  									resistance trainer is taught these days.&nbsp;  									Walk into any fitness center or gym and  									you&#8217;ll see at least half if not more of the  									exercisers performing their workouts in a  									less than optimal way&#8230;and that&#8217;s being  									kind.</font></p>
<p>                                    <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color="#800000">									</font></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color="#800000">So let&#8217;s get right  									to one of the ways you can triple your  									resistance training results immediately.&nbsp; It  									has to do with how you specifically perform  									the repetitions.&nbsp; To better understand this,  									let&#8217;s examine our 3 different strength  									levels in any resistance exercise.</font></p>
<p>                                    <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color="#800000">									</font></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color="#800000">Take the dumbbell  									c.url exercise for the biceps for example.&nbsp;  									In this movement, you begin with the weight  									down at your sides.</font></p>
<p>                                    <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color="#800000">									</font></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color="#800000">You proceed to  									smoothly and slowly c.url the dumbbells u.p  									to your shoulders.&nbsp; This movement trains  									your positive strength level. You should  									then pause briefly and contract your biceps  									at the top of the movement.&nbsp; This trains  									your static strength level.</font></p>
<p>                                    <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color="#800000">									</font></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color="#800000">Finally, you would  									want to lower the dumbbells slowly back to  									the starting position.&nbsp; This trains your  									negative strength level.</font></p>
<p>                                    <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color="#800000">									</font></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color="#800000">Now the problem is  									that most people don&#8217;t even bother with the  									static or negative strength levels.&nbsp; They  									put all of the focus on the &quot;lifting&quot; or  									positive portion of the movement, while not  									pausing or contracting sufficiently at the  									top, and not taking nearly enough time on  									the negative portion.</font></p>
<p>                                    <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color="#800000">									</font></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color="#800000">In effect they are  									getting only one third of the benefits that  									this exercise can give them.&nbsp; Actually, it&#8217;s  									less than that because the static and  									negative portions can actually create deeper  									inroads into your existing strength levels.&nbsp;  									This is something you want, as it will lead  									to greater progress faster assuming you give  									your body appropriate time to recover.</font></p>
<p>                                    <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color="#800000">									</font></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color="#800000">Why do we care so  									much about strength?&nbsp; Outside of the obvious  									reasons, strength leads to muscle growth,  									which leads to a faster resting metabolism,  									which leads to faster fat loss and various  									other improved health factors that could  									take up another couple of pages at least  								 <img src='http://atozfitness.com/wordpress/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';-)' class='wp-smiley' /> .</font></p>
<p>                                    <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color="#800000">									</font></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color="#800000">In the 									<a target="_blank" href="http://atozfitness.com/wordpress/go.php?http://fatburningfurnace.atozfitness.com" title="(1958 hits)"> 									Fat Burning Furnace system</a>, we take  									these concepts to the next level once you  									reach the advanced stage.&nbsp; Here we are using  									techniques to maximize your static and  									negative strength levels in order to push  									the limits of your genetic potential to the  									max.&nbsp; That&#8217;s when the real fun begins.</font></p>

<p align="left" class="MsoPlainText"><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color="#800000">Your  									body is made up of various different &ldquo;types&rdquo; 									of  									weight, all of which contribute differently  									to your overall appearance and health.</font></p>

<p align="left" class="MsoPlainText"><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color="#800000">There  									are very &ldquo;heavy&rdquo; individuals who are in  									excellent health with lean and impressive  									bodies&#8230;</font></p>

<p align="left" class="MsoPlainText"><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color="#800000">Your  									overall body weight is made up of various  									different components, such as body fat,  									muscle tissue, water and glycogen.

<p align="left" class="MsoPlainText"><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color="#800000">There  									are three primary reasons why you should  									focus on this&#8230;</font></p>
<p>                                    <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color="#800000">									</font></p>
<p align="left" class="MsoPlainText"><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color="#800000">First  									of all&#8230; one very important factor that  									determines your body&rsquo;s basal metabolic rate  									(the number of calories you burn at rest) is  									the amount of lean muscle tissue you have on  									your body. The more muscle you have, the  									faster your fat burning metabolism operates. 									</font></p>
<p>                                    <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color="#800000">									</font></p>
<p align="left" class="MsoPlainText"><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color="#800000">									Secondly&#8230; maintaining a reasonable level  									of muscular development will allow you to  									achieve the shapely and athletic appearance  									that the majority of you are probably  									striving for. </font></p>
<p>                                    <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color="#800000">									</font></p>
<p align="left" class="MsoPlainText"><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color="#800000">A low  									body fat percentage may be the ultimate  									goal, but without a decent amount of muscle  									mass your body will simply take on a small  									and smooth form without those &ldquo;cuts&rdquo; and  									&ldquo;lines&rdquo; that are considered so desirable.</font></p>
<p>                                    <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color="#800000">									</font></p>
<p align="left" class="MsoPlainText"><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color="#800000">									Finally&#8230; those who simply place themselves  									on &ldquo;crash diets&rdquo; and attempt to drop large  									amounts of body weight over short periods of  									time are inevitably doomed to fail. Such an  									approach places the body into a starved  									state and actually programs you to store  									more fat over the long run.</font></p>
<p>                                    <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color="#800000">									</font></p>
<p align="left" class="MsoPlainText"><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color="#800000">The  									body will react to severe calorie deficits  									by slowing down the metabolism in an attempt  									to conserve energy, wasting away lean muscle  									mass, and increasing the production of  									hormones that inhibit fat loss.</font></p>
<p>                                    <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color="#800000">									</font></p>
<p align="left" class="MsoPlainText"><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color="#800000">The end  									result is an unhealthy, out of shape body  									that, while being temporarily &ldquo;lighter&rdquo; than  									it was before, has now been programmed to  									store fat and will inevitably end up  									returning back to its original weight and  									more.</font></p>
<p>                                    <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color="#800000">									</font></p>
<p align="left" class="MsoPlainText"><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color="#800000">The way  									to avoid all of the negative effects listed  									above is simple&#8230; </font></p>
<p>                                    <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color="#800000">									</font></p>
<p align="left" class="MsoPlainText"><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color="#800000">									Structure your &ldquo;weight loss&rdquo; approach in  									such a way that you aim to gradually reduce  									your body fat levels while keeping your lean  									muscle tissue levels in tact. </font></p>
<p>                                    <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color="#800000">									</font></p>
<p align="left" class="MsoPlainText"><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color="#800000">This is  									the ONLY realistic way to burn fat, keep it  									off over the long run, and achieve the kind  									of lean and athletic appearance that you  									strive for.</font></p>
<p>                                    <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color="#800000">									</font></p>

<p><font size="3"><strong>Muscle-Building Success From Home: Can It Be Done?<br />
            </strong>By<strong> </strong>Sean Nalewanyj</p>
<p>            <span class="s4">I receive emails everyday from aspiring lifters all over the world, and one of the most common questions I&#8217;m asked is&hellip; </span></font></p>
<p class="s4"><strong><font size="3">&ldquo;Do I have to join a gym in order to build a strong, muscular body?&rdquo; </font></strong></p>
<p class="s4"><font size="3">The answer, my friend, is no. With the right equipment and planning you can follow an equally effective bodybuilding program from the comfort of your home without ever having to set foot in a gym. </font></p>
<p class="s4"><font size="3">In fact, my first 2 years of bodybuilding were spent working out with basic equipment in my basement, and I saw incredible results doing this. </font></p>
<p class="s4"><font size="3">Maybe you can&#8217;t afford a gym membership due to your financial situation. </font></p>
<p class="s4"><font size="3">Maybe you lead a busy lifestyle and would prefer to save time by training at home. </font></p>
<p class="s4"><font size="3">Maybe you&#8217;re simply too embarrassed or uncomfortable to train in a regular gym setting at the moment. </font></p>
<p class="s4"><font size="3">Whatever your reason, don&#8217;t worry! </font></p>
<p class="s4"><font size="3">I currently workout at a gym with my training partner but have to say that my years spent lifting at home were fantastic. </font></p>
<p class="s4"><font size="3">I didn&#8217;t have to worry about the travel time to and from the gym. I could simply slip downstairs whenever I felt like it and all of my equipment was there waiting for me. </font></p>
<p class="s4"><font size="3">I could listen to whatever music I wanted to, as loud as I wanted to without having to worry about those around me. </font></p>
<p class="s4"><font size="3">I could grunt, yelp and scream through my sets if I was in the mood without disturbing anyone (hey, squatting to failure isn&#8217;t easy okay?) or train shirtless if I felt like it. </font></p>
<p class="s4"><font size="3">When the workout was over, I could sprawl out on the floor in exhaustion and know that my post workout shakes were just a few steps away, and that I wouldn&#8217;t have to hobble to my car and spend anymore time driving home. </font></p>
<p class="s4"><font size="3">It was great. </font></p>
<p class="s4"><font size="3">The only real disadvantage is that your exercise selection will decrease because you won&#8217;t have access to certain pieces of machinery such as a leg press or calf machine. You can purchase certain machines if you have the money to spend and plan on training at home over the long term, but for the majority of people this simply won&#8217;t be possible. </font></p>
<p class="s4"><font size="3">The good news is that planning out a proper bodybuilding routine does not require the use of any fancy equipment, and all of the machine exercises that you would regularly perform can be swapped for freeweight substitutions. </font></p>
<p class="s4"><font size="3">Here is the basic equipment that your home gym should contain: </font></p>
<p class="s4"><font size="3"><strong>1) An adjustable barbell with freeweight plates</strong> &ndash; A cast iron set is probably a good idea, and you must also make sure that you purchase enough weight so that you can continually progress from week to week. </font></p>
<p class="s4"><font size="3"><strong>2) Adjustable dumbbells</strong> &ndash; This is much more efficient and cost-effective than purchasing an entire set of dumbbells. You should be able to buy the barbell and dumbbells together in a single set. </font></p>
<p class="s4"><font size="3"><strong>3) A bench with incline adjustments</strong> &ndash; A good sturdy bench is a must-have for performing bench presses and other seated movements. If possible you should purchase a bench that can be set on an incline and that also contains safety catches if you plan on training alone. </font></p>
<p class="s4"><font size="3"><strong>4) A chin-up bar</strong> &ndash; These can usually be purchased for 15-20 dollars and can be placed inside of a door frame. </font></p>
<p class="s4"><font size="3"><strong>5) A squat rack</strong> &ndash; This is usually the trickiest piece of equipment to purchase, as a full squat rack can be pricey. Squats are an irreplaceable movement and should always be a part of your workout routine, especially if you don&#8217;t have a leg press machine handy. </font></p>
<p class="s4"><font size="3">If you can&#8217;t afford a squat rack then you&#8217;ll have to be creative. The bottom line is that you must have some sort of apparatus that will allow you to safely unrack a loaded bar and drop the bar onto a safety catch (or the floor) if your strength gives out during the lift. </font></p>
<p class="s4"><font size="3">Don&#8217;t ever squat without a safe place to drop the bar! Most full squat racks will also provide a chin-up bar on top, so you can kill 2 birds with one stone if you decide to purchase one. </font></p>
<p class="s4"><font size="3">So there you have it; the 5 pieces of basic equipment that are needed to set up a home gym. As long as you have these basic tools in your arsenal you can perform an equally effective workout without ever having to join a traditional gym. </font></p>

<td>Okay, so you’re looking to pack on some serious muscle mass, right?</p>
<p><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS;">You want to build a ripped, rock-solid physique that demands respect and turns heads everywhere you go, correct? </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS;">Good. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">In this article I’m going to talk to you about one single exercise that will help you to achieve that powerful body quicker than you ever thought possible. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS;">No, it’s not a bench press or a barbell curl.<br />
It doesn’t involve cables or chrome machines.<br />
You won’t need a swiss ball or any other fancy gym gadgets. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS;">All you need is a good old-fashioned barbell and a flat surface. Load the bar with as much weight as you can handle and pick it up off the ground while keeping your back straight.<span style="font-size: x-small;"> </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">Sounds simple enough, right? </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS;">I’m talking, of course, about the undisputed king of all upper body exercises: the deadlift.<span style="font-size: x-small;"> </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS;">If you’re looking to pile as much lean muscle mass onto your frame as humanly possibly in the shortest period of time, the deadlift is your best friend in the entire world. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS;">That’s the good news. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">The bad news is that deadlifts are without a doubt one of the most painful and discomforting exercises you will ever come across. When performed properly, they’ll leave you lightheaded, nauseous, gasping for air and will temporarily have you wishing that you hadn’t come to the gym in the first place. But if it’s serious results that you’re after, this is the price you must pay. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS;">The deadlift will work you from finger to neck to toe. It is a raw, basic power movement and will literally stress every single muscle in your entire body to some degree. The main areas of stimulation are the back (lower and upper) and thighs, but once you start deadlifting on a consistent basis you’ll see gains just about everywhere.<span style="font-size: x-small;"> </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">The high intensity nature of this basic lift will also force your body to secrete higher amounts of powerful anabolic substances such as testosterone and growth hormone. This causes what is known as a “spill over effect”, and will result in new, total body size and strength gains. For example, after a few weeks of heavy deadlifting you should notice that your other lifts, such as the bench press and barbell row, will suddenly increase. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS;">There a few different variations of the deadlift, but in this article we’ll focus on the basic, standard bent-legged version. Let’s go over the proper technique&#8230; </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS;">Position your feet about shoulder-width apart and grip the bar with your hands just outside your legs. You can either hold the bar with an overhand grip or with one palm facing in and one palm facing out. Choose whatever grip is most comfortable for you.<span style="font-size: x-small;"> </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">Start the movement in a squatted position with the bar close to your shins. With your back flat, abs tight and head looking up, lift the weight off of the ground by driving upward with your legs. Pull the weight up until you are in a standing position. Now lower the weight back down by following the same path as when you lifted it.</span><span style="font-size: x-small;"> </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">Rest the plates on the ground briefly, regroup, take a deep breath and pull the weight back up again. Continue the lift until your legs reach muscular failure or until your form starts to slip. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS;">Maintaining proper form is of high importance when performing deadlifts. You should be able to handle a reasonable amount of weight here, and this increases your chance of injury. The most important thing to remember is to keep your back flat at all times and to keep the weight close to your body. Keep your abs tight as well as this will minimize the stress on your lower back.<span style="font-size: x-small;"> </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS;">Practice this lift with light weight in order to get the form down before you start going heavy. You may also find it useful to use lifting straps when performing deadlifts, as this will prevent your grip from giving out before the rest of your body does. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS;">I recommend performing deadlifts once a week for 2 all-out sets to muscular failure. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS;">How many reps should you perform for each set? </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">Well, deadlifts are such an incredibly effective exercise that they’ll work no matter what rep range you use. My suggestion is to stay in the range of 5-7, but some people go as high as 20. Experiment and see what works best for you. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS;">Treat your deadlifts with respect, and be prepared for the gains of your life.<span style="font-size: x-small;"> </span></span></p>

<div align="left"><font size="2">If there is one substance that could be considered the &quot;holy grail&quot; of muscle growth, testosterone would be it. </p>
<p>					Quite simply, testosterone is the most important muscle-building hormone in your body and is one of the limiting factors that determines how much muscle you can ultimately build. Here is just a small handful of the many amazing benefits that increased testosterone levels will provide you with&#8230;</p>
<p>					- Increased muscle size and strength.<br />
					- Decreased body fat levels.<br />
					- Increased sex drive and sexual endurance.<br />
					- Improved mood.<br />
					- Decreased levels of &quot;bad&quot; cholesterol.</p>
<p>					Sounds pretty good, doesn&rsquo;t it? Well it is, and in this article I&#39;m going to outline 10 simple steps to naturally raise your testosterone levels and achieve all of these incredible benefits. While these steps will not result in &quot;steroid-like&quot; muscle gains, they will definitely contribute to your overall bottomline results. </p>
<p>					1) Use compound exercises as the cornerstone of your workouts. I&rsquo;m talking about the basic, bread-and-butter lifts such as squats, deadlifts, bench presses, rows, chin-ups, dips, lunges and military presses. These exercises will place your muscles under the greatest amount of stress in the gym and will force your body to increase testosterone production.</p>
<p>					2) Always train with 100% effort and intensity. If you want to see real muscle gains, you must be willing to push yourself to the limit in the gym. Again, greater muscular stress in the gym translates to higher testosterone output.</p>
<p>					3) Train your legs equally as hard as your upper body. As you may already be aware, intense leg training can actually stimulate growth in your chest, back and arms. This is due in part to the increase in testosterone that leg training induces.</p>
<p>					4) Increase your EFA consumption. Essential Fatty Acids from sources such as peanuts, avocadoes, fish and healthy oils like flax seed, olive and canola are a great way to naturally boost testosterone levels.</p>
<p>					5) Reduce your intake of soy. Soy protein raises the body&rsquo;s levels of estrogen (the main female hormone) and this has a direct negative effect on testosterone levels.</p>
<p>					6) Limit your consumption of alcohol. Alcohol has been shown to have quite a dramatic effect on testosterone levels, so try to limit your &quot;binge drinking&quot; nights and keep your alcohol consumption in moderation.</p>
<p>					7) Increase your dietary intake of cruciferous vegetables. Broccoli, cauliflower, radishes, turnips, cabbage and brussel sprouts have all been shown to dramatically reduce estrogen levels, thereby raising testosterone.</p>
<p>				 <img src='http://atozfitness.com/wordpress/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_cool.gif' alt='8)' class='wp-smiley' /> Lower your daily stress levels. Being overly stressed stimulates the release of &ldquo;cortisol&rdquo;, a highly catabolic hormone that will cause your testosterone levels to plummet.</p>
<p>					9) Increase your sexual activity. Sexual stimulation causes the body to increase the production of oxytocin which increases endorphin production (the &quot;feel-good&quot; chemical), and this also raises testosterone.</p>
<p>					10) Make sure to get adequate sleep every night. A lack of sleep contributes to cortisol production, and this will lower your testosterone levels.</p>
<p>					Start implementing these techniques on a consistent basis and you should experience a noticeable increase in your muscle size and strength gains.</font></div>

<p align="left"><span><span class="popup"><font>One of the most currently debated issues in the supplement industry is in relation to the consumption of multivitamins and the role that they play in enhancing overall health both in and out of the gym.</p>
<p> Can bodybuilders benefit by supplementing with extra vitamins and minerals? Let&#39;s review some basic biology as well as the function of each specific vitamin in order to find the answer&#8230;</p>
<p> In the grand scheme of things, your body is basically one giant mass of chemical reactions. Each of these individual reactions is fueled by small proteins called enzymes, which work by lowering the amount of energy that is needed for a specific reaction to occur. Enzymes require the use of a &quot;co-enzyme&quot; which alters its shape and allows it to perform its job properly. Co-enzymes are also referred to as vitamins.</p>
<p> So when it all comes down it, vitamins are needed to fuel the thousands of chemical reactions going on within your body at all times. Not only does this play an important role in overall metabolism and body health, but it also plays a vital part in the muscle-building process.</p>
<p> Here is a list of the major vitamins and the ways in which they will aid you both in and out of the gym&#8230;</p>
<p> Vitamin A &#8211; Is crucial to the process of protein synthesis where individual amino acids are combined to form new muscle tissue. It also helps the body to produce glycogen, the stored form of carbohydrates within the body.</p>
<p> Vitamin B1 &#8211; Also known as &quot;thiamine&quot; and is heavily involved in protein metabolism as well as the production of hemoglobin which helps to carry oxygen around the body.</p>
<p> Vitamin B2 &#8211; Also known as &quot;riboflavin&quot; and aids in the fat burning process as well as helping the body to produce energy from carbohydrates.</p>
<p> Vitamin B3 &#8211; Also known as &quot;niacin&quot; and increases vasodilation within the muscle tissue, helping you to appear fuller and more vascular.</p>
<p> Vitamin B6 &#8211; Also known as &quot;pyridoxine&quot; and is very important because of its effect on protein digestion. Muscle-building diets require larger than normal amounts of protein, and this means that your body needs a higher amount of vitamin B6 than the average Joe.</p>
<p> Vitamin B12 &#8211; Also known as &quot;cobalamin&quot;, vitamin b12 ensures that the brain and muscle tissue are communicating efficiently and this has a direct effect on muscle growth and coordination.<br /> Biotin &#8211; Helps the body metabolize amino acids and produce energy during workouts.</p>
<p> Vitamin C &#8211; Heavily involved in amino acid metabolism and the formation of collagen. Collagen is found in your connective tissue and keeps your joints strong and healthy. Vitamin C also plays a role in the production of steroid hormones in the body and also enhances the absorption of iron. On top of all of this, vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant which flushes out free radicals and prevents damage to your body cells.</p>
<p> Vitamin D &#8211; Helps the body to absorb calcium and phosphorus more efficiently. Calcium is very important during muscle contractions and also helps to maintain strong bones and joints. Phosphorus is involved in the synthesis of ATP, the usable form of energy within the body.</p>
<p> Vitamin E &#8211; A very powerful antioxidant which helps to hunt out and neutralize free radicals. This will help to flush out many of the natural metabolic waste products your body produces and maintain the health of your cell membranes.</p>
<p> As you can clearly see above, vitamins play a very important role when it comes to building muscle and gaining strength. Hard training bodybuilders certainly require higher amounts of these vitamins than the average sedentary Joe, as these vitamins are depleted during intense sessions in the gym. In addition, a calorie-dense diet requires a higher intake of vitamins to aid in the digestion process. In fact, being deficient in just one vitamin can literally affect thousands of small process within the body.</p>
<p> So, are multivitamins necessary for bodybuilders?</p>
<p> Absolutely!</p>
<p> From protein synthesis to energy metabolism to digestion to vasodilatation, multivitamins should be an important part of any effective supplementation plan.</font></span></span></p>

<td width="100%">
<p align="left"><font face="Verdana" size="5"><span style="FONT-SIZE: 9pt; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt">Your back is firmly planted on the bench as you wrap your chalked hands around the cold, steel bar. Your training partner helps you un-rack the weight as you power the bar up and down, squeezing your chest and triceps on each grueling rep. You complete your 6 repetitions, re-rack the bar and stand up. Your chest feels tight and engorged with blood. You take a look in the mirror, thrilled with how full and vascular your pecs appear. You feel strong, powerful, healthy and motivated to blast through the rest of your workout with your newly achieved &ldquo;pump&rdquo;.<o:p> </o:p></span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="FONT-SIZE: 9pt; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt">Let&rsquo;s face it, a pump feels incredible. For those of you who aren&rsquo;t quite sure what I&rsquo;m talking about, a pump is the feeling that you get as blood becomes trapped inside your muscle tissue as a result of resistance training. The muscles will swell up and increase in size, vascularity and tightness.<o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="FONT-SIZE: 9pt; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt">There is certainly nothing wrong with achieving a pump in the gym, and it is simply a natural result of intense weight training. However, contrary to what the majority of weightlifters may think, a pump is in no way indicative of a successful workout. Anyone who uses the intensity of their pump as a gauge for the effectiveness of their workout is making a costly error.<o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="FONT-SIZE: 9pt; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt">On countless occasions I&#8217;ve heard lifters raving about the massive pumps they get in the gym as they share methods for achieving the best pump possible. &quot;Dude, this will give you a crazy pump!&quot; If you have already been working out for a decent amount of time then you know exactly what I&#8217;m talking about. While a pump does feel extremely satisfying, just remember that it means very little in terms of muscle stimulation and growth.<o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="FONT-SIZE: 9pt; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt">A pump is simply the result of extra blood within the muscle tissue. Think of it this way: if I took a pair of 10 pound dumbbells and performed 300 reps of a bench press movement, I would achieve an incredible pump. If muscle pumps meant muscle growth, then super light weight, ultra high rep programs would be the most effective way to grow. Any serious lifter with half a brain knows that this simply is not the case.<o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="FONT-SIZE: 9pt; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt">Do you want to know how to truly gauge the success of a workout? Here it is&hellip;<o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="FONT-SIZE: 9pt; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt">Take your workout records (in terms of weight and reps) from the previous week and compare it to the current week. Did you improve? Were you able to either increase the resistance slightly on each exercise, or perform an extra rep or two? If so, you had a successful workout, regardless of how much blood you were able to pump into your muscle tissue. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="FONT-SIZE: 9pt; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA">Building muscle mass and strength is all about training with 100% intensity on every given set and then striving to improve from week to week. If you are able to consistently achieve this, your muscle size and strength will increase faster than you ever thought possible, with or without a pump.</span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>By Sean <font color="#000000">Nalewanyj</font></p>
<p>There is so much conflicting information out there when it comes to the topic of building muscle, and sometimes it can be very difficult to know where to start. If you&rsquo;re an average beginner looking for some basic guidelines to follow in the gym, the following 8 points will start you off on the right track. </p>
<p><strong>1.) Train With Weights and Focus On Compound, Free Weight Movements.</strong> </p>
<p>If you want to make solid, noteworthy gains in muscle size and strength, you absolutely must train with free weights and focus on basic, compound exercises. A compound exercise is any lift that stimulates more than one muscle group at a time. Examples of these lifts are the squat, deadlift, bench press, chin up, barbell row, overhead press, dip and lunge. Compound movements allow you to handle the most weight and will stimulate the greatest amount of total muscle fibers. </p>
<p><strong>2.) Be Prepared To Train Hard.</strong> </p>
<p>One of the biggest factors that separates those who make modest gains from those who make serious gains is their level of training intensity. In order to stimulate your muscle fibers to their utmost potential, you must be willing to take every set you perform in the gym to the point of muscular failure. </p>
<p>Muscular Failure: The point at which no further repetitions can be completed using proper form. </p>
<p>Sub-maximal training intensity will leave you with sub-maximal results, plain and simple. </p>
<p><strong>3.) Track Your Progress In The Gym From Week To Week.</strong> </p>
<p>Our bodies build muscle because of an adaptive response to the environment. When you go to the gym, you break down your muscle fibers by training with weights. Your body senses this as a potential threat to its survival and will react accordingly by rebuilding the damaged fibers larger and stronger in order to protect against any possible future threat. Therefore, in order to make continual gains in muscle size and strength, you must always focus on progressing in the gym from week to week. This could mean performing 1 or 2 more reps for each exercise or adding more weight to the bar. Keep a detailed training log to track your progress as your strength increases over time. </p>
<p><strong>4.) Avoid Overtraining.</strong> </p>
<p>Overtraining is your number one enemy when it comes to building muscle size and strength. When most people begin a workout program, they are stuck with the misguided notion that more is better. They naturally assume that the more time they spend in the gym, the better results they will achieve. When it comes to building muscle, nothing could be farther from the truth! If you spend too much time in the gym, you will actually take yourself farther away from your goals rather than closer to them. Remember, your muscles do not grow in the gym; they grow out of the gym, while you are resting and eating. Recovery is absolutely vital to the muscle growth process. If you don&#8217;t provide your body with the proper recovery time in between workouts, your muscles will never have a chance to grow. </p>
<p><strong>5.) Eat More Frequently.</strong> </p>
<p>The main area where most people fail miserably on their muscle-building mission is on the all-too important task of proper nutrition. Training with weights is only half of the equation! You break down your muscle fibers in the gym, but if you don&#8217;t provide your body with the proper nutrients at the proper times, the muscle growth process will be next to impossible. You should be eating anywhere from 5-7 meals per day, spaced every 2-3 hours in order to keep your body in an anabolic, muscle-building state at all times. Each meal should consist of high quality protein and complex carbohydrates. </p>
<p><strong>6.) Increase Your Protein Intake.</strong> </p>
<p>Of the 3 major nutrients (protein, carbohydrates and fats) protein is without a doubt the most important for those who are looking to gain muscle size and strength. Protein is found in literally every single one of the 30 trillion cells that your body is made up of and its main role is to build and repair body tissues. Without sufficient protein intake, it will be physically impossible for your body to synthesize a significant amount of lean muscle mass. If your body were a house, think of protein as the bricks. A general guideline is to consume 1-1.5 grams of protein per pound of body weight each day from high quality sources such as fish, poultry, eggs, beef, milk, peanut butter and cottage cheese. </p>
<p><strong>7.) Increase Your Water Intake.</strong> </p>
<p>If you want a simple, easy and highly effective way to maximize your muscle gains, drinking more water is it. Water plays so many vital roles in the body and its importance cannot be overstated. In fact, your muscles alone are made up of 70% water! Not only will drinking more water cause your muscles to appear fuller and more vascular, but it will also increase your strength as well. Research has shown that merely a 3-4% drop in your body&#8217;s water levels can impact muscle contractions by 10-20%! Aim to consume 0.6 ounces for every pound of bodyweight each day for optimal gains. </p>
<p><strong>8.) Be Consistent!</strong> </p>
<p>Consistency is everything. Those who make the greatest gains in muscular size and strength are the ones who are able to implement the proper techniques on a highly consistent basis. Simply knowing is not enough, you must apply! </p>
<p>Building muscle is a result of the cumulative effect of small steps. Sure, performing 1 extra rep on your bench press will not make a huge difference to your overall results, and neither will consuming a single meal. However, over the long haul, all of those extra reps you perform and all of those small meals you consume will decide your overall success. If you work hard and complete all of your muscle-building tasks in a consistent fashion, all of those individual steps will equate to massive gains in overall size and strength. </p>
