Good muscle tone is the foundation of a more youthful appearance and a firm well-shaped body is simply not possible without it.
However, posture is another factor that plays a huge role in how we look and how well-shaped our body is but it is often overlooked by fitness advisers and seekers alike. [Read more…]
If you are finally through with feeling sick and tired and you’re ready to make important lifestyle changes that include incorporate more challenging exercise into your life then the first thing you should do is congratulate yourself for recognizing and responding to the needs of your body.
Without a doubt, you have taken the first step towards a successful lifestyle change…but “desire” is only the first step towards your goal…although a very important one.
Truth is, beginning a new exercise program is not a whole lot different than starting a new journey…in fact it is a journey and like all journeys in life should be handled using a step-by-step approach. [Read more…]
It’s no secret that sagging, flabby, weak muscles are the result of not doing proper muscle building and maintenance. They add years to the way you look and feel.
When we think about exercising, we think toned muscles, firm thighs and weight loss. Those are all very valid reasons to exercise but most of us are unaware of the health benefits that proper strength training offers our largest organ…our skin. [Read more…]
Building a balanced meal is ultimately important to your success. The first principle you must adopt is to not get caught up in counting calories. You need to focus on portions.
A portion is one serving and is about the same size as the palm of your hand. Honestly we’ve gotten so used to eating much larger portions than we actually need because of the “all-you-can-eat” buffets and super-sized menus offered…we need to get “real” again.
Next, you need to focus on selecting a quality source of lean protein and balance it with equal quantity of complex carbohydrates. Add to this one or more main course vegetable portions along with a healthy leafy, green such as a fresh salad. Your goal should always be to have meals that include at least 50 percent vegetables…whether raw or cooked. [Read more…]
Without a doubt, consistent challenging exercise is the number one anti-aging strategy. However, without the support of a healthy “clean diet” no amount of exercise can make you look and feel young.
A healthy diet is your ticket to feeling better…that’s no big secret, but combine challenging exercise with a healthy clean diet and you also have your best ticket for slowing the aging process.
So, while proper consistent exercise is number one in the anti-aging war, a clean healthy diet ranks number two and is just as important. [Read more…]
Along with minimalist strength training is a form of training similar in terms of benefits for both health and aesthetic reasons called interval or sprint training.
While minimalist strength training is the superior option when compared to other strength training programs, this type of cardio protocol is also superior compared to most other cardio routines and keeps the minimalist idea as well:
Low time commitment
High Intensity
Maximum results [Read more…]
Strong healthy muscles are vital ingredients in the anti-aging war. Although you can’t stop chronological aging (it begins the day you are born), there is recent biological aging and growing evidence that indicates that this kind of aging can be slowed and even reversed…particularly in the muscle tissue because muscle aging isn’t necessarily chronological.
Truth is, muscle aging can start at a very young age and many young adults unknowingly suffer from symptoms of muscle aging due to physical inactivity, poor diet, stress, and substance abuse.
When muscles age, they lose their aerobic capacity and strength and also their size…but it is possible to stop this process of “muscle downgrade.” [Read more…]
If you consistently carry excess weight…especially around the mid-section, feeling tired all the time or have become a slave to your food cravings and riding the hunger roller coaster each day, you may be suffering from unhealthy, unstable blood glucose levels.
Unfortunately, this creeping blood sugar intolerance often displays no visible symptoms which make it one of the most destructive changes to your body associated with accelerated aging and the increased risk of disease. [Read more…]
Thanks to science, we now know the key to a younger body is to protect your cell’s DNA specifically the telomeres. However, it’s not just about long living cells…it’s about producing abundantly healthy, long living cells.
Most people are aware that someone who is strong and fit often looks much younger than someone who has let go. There’s a reason for that. [Read more…]
Unfortunately most present lifestyles lead to some form of chronic disease later in life with heart disease, cancer and diabetes as the “top three villains. These killers are silent and extremely proficient. They are more invasive, stealthier, and more deadly than any terrorist group the world has ever encountered.
Number one is heart disease with 1 in every 3 deaths contributed to this severe health issue alone. About ½ of those who die of heart attacks die within an hour of their first symptoms and before they can reach the hospital. [Read more…]
