Exercise Toxicity
This is an interesting topic…
Some people try too hard when they work out, not realizing they are actually sabotaging their own efforts. There is a such thing as overtraining, and it doesn’t only lead to injury. Overtraining can absolutely lead to decreased fat loss, less definition, and greater cardiac risk. I know that this sounds odd, but bear with me as I explain the 3 principles of overtraining that make exercise toxic when you do too much. These principles are:

Lose Fat in the Morning
One of the best ways to ensure you burn maximum fat is to get it done first thing in the morning. A common fat loss tip people often give out is just this – exercise in the morning to burn more fat. Does exercising in the morning burn more calories? Unfortunately there is no scientific evidence to prove that exercising in the morning burns more calories but it may increase your fat loss.
Exercise And The Brain
If you ever needed another good reason to exercise, I’ve got one for you:
Exercise makes your brain bigger.
Actually this isn’t entirely accurate. To be more specific, exercise was found to increase brain size slightly, but far more important to increase “spatial reasoning.”
This is the ability to recognize patterns, remember phrases, numbers, and so-on. This was discovered by researchers at the Universities of Chicago and Pittsburgh.
It is also one of the most important factors to the prevention of Alzheimer’s and dementia.
How Long To Rest Between Sets
A lot of my readers ask me how long to rest between sets while exercising.
The answer is: It depends on your goals.
If you are training to increase strength, I recommend resting a bit longer – up to two minutes for exercises like squats and heavy dumbbell work. But if you want to burn the most amount of bodyfat and gain lean muscle, I recommend resting for very short periods of time.
“The Iron Guru” Vince Gironda used to recommend leaving your hands on the bar between sets — now THAT is short rest intervals! He would frequently rest only 15-20 seconds between sets.
Six Pack Abs Success Formula – Miss This And You Might Blow Your Whole Program
Building six pack abs takes strategy. There are many conflicting opinions about the best method to six pack abs, but one thing that all top fitness professionals recognize is that it’s not about ab machines, ab devices, or ab exercises. For any of you who have followed Mike Geary for any length of time, he’s someone who preaches about this on a regular basis. Per Geary, the truth about six pack abs is that you need to exercise your entire body and stop wasting time with spot reduction, extreme dieting, and temporary fitness fads. I agree with Mike Geary.
But let’s take things one step further… what area of your body should you work the hardest in the beginning of your voyage to six pack abs?
The answer is easy: your legs through core-based exercise
Fire Your Diet – It’s Your Only Guarantee To Get Ripped Abs
Fire your diet, I’m serious. Staying on your diet may be the worst decision you could ever make. Restricting calories is not fun. Eating foods you don’t like – forget about it. Nobody wants to live this way, and no one is going to permanently. Therein lies the problem:
Unless dieting is the way you want to eat everyday for the rest of your life, Stop Dieting Now!
You see, it all comes down to a basic principle of homeostasis, or equilibrium. Your body seeks homeostasis, no matter which condition you subject it to, in order to be able work as an efficient machine. The greater the equilibrial state in your body, the less work it has to do to survive. It’s basic science.
1800 Calorie Meal Plan For Ripped 6-Pack Abs
Lets compare the caloric out put and intake of exercise versus nutrition. I’ll work on extreme example to emphasize why diet has greater leverage than exercise. In the best case scenario, how many calories could you possibly burn doing 60 minutes of hard core cardio intervals? Lets say you’re doing them on hills or stairs too. You might burn 1000 calories. Not bad eh? You can say it took 60 minutes of blood, sweat and tears to burn those precious 1000 calories.
Now watch how you could waste that 60 minute workout with one poor decision… You’re driving home and you’re craving something sweet. You see Krispy Kreme donughts and grab a chocolate glazed one with sprinkles and within 60 seconds consume the entire treat (without even tasting it) and wipe out those precious 1000 calories you just burned. What a waste…
Speed Eating and Fat Loss: Diet Advice Your Mom Was Right About All Along
A new study just published in a recent issue of the journal Obesity has revealed that thin people eat very differently than heavy people at all-you-can-eat buffet restaurants.
Researcher Brian Wansink and his team from the Cornell University Food and Brand Laboratory observed diners at 11 different Chinese buffet restaurants across the United States.
Their goal was to find out whether the eating behaviors of people at all-you-can-eat buffets varied based on their body mass.
Trained observers recorded the height, weight, gender, age, and behavior of 213 patrons. The various seating, serving and eating behaviors were then compared across BMI levels.

Are you sick and tired of people telling you how to gain weight. It probably sounds like this:

The Secret To A Better Lovelife
Today we need to chat about your hormones.
Yeah, I chat a lot about hormones. That’s because I have been to Hormone Hell and back. Twice.
I’ve lived to tell the tale.
It’s scary… and it’s one of those hidden illnesses that you might not even know you have.
I had it at 27. I did not affect my lovelife, but that was probably due to my youth. If I did not treat it then, I would have no lovelife or drive at ALL right now.
