Tips of Thanksgivings - With Thanksgiving in about two weeks there a lot of stuff to watch out for. One thing to keep in mind is that while others are not on a workout plan, you are. Watching what one eats is a good place to stay focus on, not saying one shouldn’t eat that special dish, just keep a few points in mind while doing so. - 1. Don’t let yourself not eat all day for a big buffet later on. – Skipping meals lowers one metabolism, as well as eating a big gigantic meal. - 2. When eating load up on meat and vegetables – Eat less starches and more high-fats items such as green bean casseroles and candied yams. - 3. Eat Turkey, Go Skinless – Lose the skin and eat more meat. - Some Examples: - Turkey: Roasted, With Skin; Calories: 208; Protein: 54%; Carbs: 0%; Fat: 42% - Turkey: Dark Meat, No Skin; Calories: 187; Protein: 61%; Carbs 39%; Fat: 35% - 4. Drink More Water, Less Coffee and/or Alcohol - In addition to filling you up a little more with your meal, drinking water will ensure that you stay hydrated, and flush out some of that excess sodium that you will be eating. - 5. Eat Slow - Eating slower, taking smaller bites, and putting your utensils down in between bites will ensure that your body lets you know when it is full, rather than letting you overstuff yourself too early on. - 7. Weight Maintenance, Rather Than Weight – Weight lost is not a major priority, but keeping weight maintenance is the focus. - 8. Skip The Crust. Just One Serving - When eating pie, eat the filling part and leave the crust, to save on some empty calories. - Source: http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/herve12.htm c.

Toned muscles filter a toxin from the brain and keep depression at bay. ii. By discovering a previously unknown link between muscles and brain in mice, the results provide compelling evidence for the healing power of exercise. iii. Researchers have known that in response to a good workout, muscles produce a compound called PGC-1 alpha 1, which is a general do-gooder around the body. The compound prompts the body to make more blood vessels and mitochondria (power factory for a cell), for instance. iv. To get the benefits, people would need to routinely challenge their muscles, which means regularly upping their exercise regimens. v.

Try a few extra sets to something you feel important are something you like to try out. iv. Take the Long View – Keep a broad perspective on the whole part of one’s life while following a diet plan are a workout routine.

Egg whites are a nearly pure source of protein, containing almost 100% of their calories from this macro with virtually no fats or carbs. ii. Whole eggs, on the other hand, contain considerable calories and micronutrients that come with the egg yolks. All of the fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K) in eggs are found in the yolk. In addition, the yolks contain the healthy fats and cholesterol necessary for the production of hormones such as testosterone. iii. 8 Egg Whites | 4 Whole Eggs Protein = 28G | Protein = 28G Carbs = 2G | Carbs = 2G Fats = 0G | Fats = 21G Calories = 137 | Calories = 312 iv.

High Salt Prevents Weight Gain In Mice on a High-Fat Diet i. From: University of Iowa Health Care ii. "People focus on how much fat or sugar is in the food they eat, but [in our experiments] something that has nothing to do with caloric content -- sodium -- has an even bigger effect on weight gain," say Justin Grobe, PhD, assistant professor of pharmacology at the UI Carver College of Medicine. iii. The UI team started the study with the hypothesis that fat and salt, both being tasty to humans, would act together to increase food consumption and promote weight gain. iv. To their surprise, the mice on the high-fat diet with the lowest salt gained the most weight, about 15 grams over 16 weeks, while animals on the high-fat, highest salt diet had low weight gain that was similar to the chow-fed mice, about 5 grams. v. "This suppression of weight gain with increased sodium was due entirely to a reduced efficiency of the digestive tract to extract calories from the food that was consumed," explains Grobe. vi. Summary: In a study that seems to defy conventional dietary wisdom, scientists have found that adding high salt to a high-fat diet actually prevents weight gain in mice. The findings highlight the profound effect non-caloric dietary nutrients can have on energy balance and weight gain, and suggest that public health efforts to continue lowering sodium intake may have unexpected and unintended consequences. vii.

Researchers surveyed 1,552 individuals to determine their attitudes and behavior regarding exercise practices. ii. Of the 1,552 individuals, 989 were considered overweight or obese. iii. Overweight individuals had a greater belief that exercise would lead to improved appearance and self-image. iv. Overweight individuals felt more embarrassed and intimidated by exercise, exercising around young people, exercising around fit people and about health club sales people v. Overweight and normal weight individuals had the same attitudes regarding exercising with the opposite sex, using complicated exercise equipment, experiencing exercise boredom and overall intent to exercise. vi. The heavier the individual, the lower his perception of health and the more negative emotions he would experience in association with health club exercise—this was particularly true for Caucasian adults. vii. The interesting thing about this study is that both normal weight and overweight...

Tiptoe & Syn – Racing i. Run through the racing that you both just done. b. Bad Fat, Turns Good i. Bad fat cells called adipose cells can be converted in to good cells. ii. The drug called GC-1. iii. GC-1 dramatically increases the metabolic rate, essentially converting white fat, which stores excess calories and is associated with obesity and metabolic disease, into a fat like calorie-burning brown fat. iv. GC-1 works, according to Phillips, by activating the receptors for thyroid hormone, which play a role in regulating metabolism. v. Until several years ago, scientists thought that only animals and human infants have energy-burning, "good" brown fat. vi. Genetically obese mice lost weight and more than 50 percent of their fat mass in approximately two weeks, Phillips reported. Treated mice also showed antidiabetic effects, such as a sixfold improvement or better in insulin sensitivity (how well the body clears glucose from the bloodstream). vii. Source: http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2015/03/150307095940.htm c. Pea protein: Is it the new soy? i. From cereals to smoothies to energy bars, pea protein is everywhere. What's driving the craze is the hunger to find an easy-to-digest plant-based protein that is less apt to cause allergic reactions, like gluten or soy. ii. Pea protein is a supplement derived from the same kinds of dried peas you'd use to make soup. iii. The one downside: It's not a complete protein. iv. Unlike other popular protein products, soy and whey, it doesn't have all the amino acids we need that our bodies can't make. To get the full nutritional value, it needs to be combined with something like rice or bread. v. It also contains soluble fiber that can lower cholesterol levels. The protein in pea fiber can also help keep you feeling satisfied, not being hungry. vi. There's a growing body of evidence that plant-based diets can reduce the risk of obesity, high blood pressure, diabetes and the risk of early death. vii. Source: http://www.today.com/health/pea-protein-it-new-soy-t10501 d. Adding Protein Throughout The Day Has Health Benefits i. Research has shown that eating more protein can support weight loss and prevent weight gain by boosting metabolism, increasing feelings of fullness and helping the body retain muscle while losing fat. ii. University of Missouri researcher Heather Leidy and her colleagues conducted a review of the current scientific literature on protein consumption and found that a moderate increase in protein consumption at each meal, balanced throughout the day, can lead to significant improvements. iii. Eat Breakfast - Eating a protein-rich breakfast containing about 30 grams of protein leads to even greater satiety throughout the day and can reduce unhealthy snacking by improving appetite control. iv. Add a little protein to every meal, especially at breakfast and lunch. v. Consume high-quality protein - Not all proteins are created equal. High-quality, or "complete," proteins found in animal-based foods such as beef, pork, poultry, fish, eggs and dairy products contain all the essential amino acids and are easily vi. Source: http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2015/04/150430124835.htm e. Rock-Hard, Flat Mid-Section i. Core training is obviously a very important aspect in developing a strong mid-section. ii. Nutrition - Stick with an 80/20 rule when it comes to diet. 80 percent of your week at the minimum needs to be spot on. Do everything that you to do 80 percent of the time. Then, the remaining 20 percent allow for error and some fun. iii. Exercise – The...

The Hidden Benefits of Exercise o Reduce Stress - Exercise also increases concentrations of norepinephrine, a chemical that can moderate the brain’s response to stress. o Boost Happy Chemicals - Exercise releases endorphins, which create feelings of happiness and euphoria. Studies have shown that exercise can even alleviate symptoms among the clinically depressed . For this reason, docs recommend that people suffering from depression or anxiety (or those who are just feeling blue) pencil in plenty of gym time. o Improve Self-Confidence - Physical fitness can boost self-esteem and improve positive self-image. Regardless of weight, size, gender, or age, exercise can quickly elevate a person's perception of his or her attractiveness, that is, self-worth. o Enjoy the Great Outdoors - Find an outdoor workout that fits your style, whether it’s rock-climbing, hiking, renting a canoe, or just taking a jog in the park. Plus, all that Vitamin D acquired from soaking up the sun can lessen the likelihood of experiencing depressive symptoms. o Prevent Cognitive Decline - Working out, especially between age 25 and 45, boosts the chemicals in the brain that support and prevent degeneration of the hippocampus, an important part of the brain for memory and learning. o Alleviate Anxiety - Hopping on the track or treadmill for some moderate-to-high intensity aerobic exercise (intervals, anyone?) can reduce anxiety sensitivity. o Boost Brainpower - Studies suggest that a tough workout increases levels of a brain-derived protein (known as BDNF - brain-derived neurotrophic factor) in the body, believed to help with decision making, higher thinking, and learning. o Sharpen Memory - Getting sweaty increases production of cells in hippocampus responsible for memory and learning . For this reason, research has linked children’s brain development with level of physical fitness. o Help Control Addiction - Short exercise sessions can also effectively distract drug or alcohol addicts, making them de-prioritize cravings (at least in the short term) o Increase Relaxation - Moving around five to six hours before bedtime raises the body’s core temperature. When the body temp drops back to normal a few hours later, it signals the body that it’s time to sleep. o Get More Done - Research shows that workers who take time for exercise on a regular basis are more productive and have more energy than their more sedentary peers. o Tap Into Creativity - A heart-pumping gym session can boost creativity for up to two hours afterwards. o Inspire Others - Studies show that most people perform better on aerobic tests when paired up with a workout buddy. Even fitness beginners can inspire each other to push harder during a sweat session, so find a workout buddy and get moving.

Lifting Fast or Slow? o The subject has been discussed many times over and over and the results have gone both ways as to which one is better. o Lifting fast can increase the chances of injuring muscle and joints as well as doing the exercises incorrectly. o Lifting fast does have a positive side as well, it has a more metabolically demanding on the body. It burns more calories. o Lifting fast improves balance and strength. o Lifting fast with a lot of reps of light weight will not have the same benefits as lifting heavy. o Lifting slow helps to improvement in low velocity exercises. o Lifting slow helps to keep the muscle under tension longer which helps to break it down. o Lifting slow lowers the number of muscle fibers being fired in the muscle for it to work. o Sources: http://www.womenshealthmag.com/fitness/lift-weights-fast-or-slow o Sources: http://www.livestrong.com/article/439458-slow-reps-vs-fast-reps/ o Sources: http://www.menshealth.com/mhlists/muscle_myths_debunked/Slow_Lifting_Builds_Huge_Muscles.php B. Classis Training Ideas: Fact or Fiction? o New research studies haven't change the way we think on training and nutrition, but it has rather refined some of the view points on them. o Bigger Weight Will Produce Bigger Gains o Our muscles are extremely adaptive to the stimulus we apply to them, and resistance training is our strongest activator of muscle growth. o Research shows that we don't only have to lift heavy but more along the lines of we don't only need to lift heavy. o These studies uncover how low-load and high-load resistance training can produce similar anabolic responses and gains in muscle size, highlighting the importance of tracking the total work you perform—as well as lifting to failure if your goal is muscle growth. o There's An Anabolic Window o The common norm is to have a protein shake post workout within a time frame after working out. But in recent years that the timeframe is an is not as crucial as we all may have thought. o Take your shake if it's part of your gym ritual, but don't fool yourself into thinking it's any more important than everything else you eat. Protein intake over the course of the day appears to be more important in eliciting in muscle growth than proximity to a workout. o More Protein is Better o The high protein diets are becoming more and more widely accepted to be safe and effective for improving physique. o Because of the plateau effect on muscle protein synthesis, focusing on the amount of protein per meal is a better approach than the amount of protein per day. Save your money and maximize the muscle-building benefits of protein by eating around 0.12 grams per kilogram of body weight per meal, rather than cramming in high doses of protein to meet a daily standard. o...

Back To Basics - What are carbohydrates or carbs? ● Carbs area component in everything we eat, mostly. ● Carbs can be categorized into two types: simple and complex. ● Simple: These carbs are usually labeled as “bad carb’s.” They are made mostly from processed flour and contain added sugars. They give very little nutrition to the body. They often give the person who eats them a burst of energy, later followed by an energy crash. ● Some sources of simple carbs are corn syrup, candy, soft drinks, and fruit drinks. ● Complex carbohydrates are long branches of fructose, glucose, and sucrose molecules organized into more complex structures, such as starches or other “High carbohydrate” foods.| ● Starches are polysaccharides and are composed as huge chains of various sugar molecules that get broken down and metabolized into massive component groups of mainly glucose and sucrose molecules. See risks of carb overload in lower bullet point| ● Some sources of starchy foods are potatoes, bread, cereals, rice, pasta, and beans. ● But like anything too much of anything is a bad thing. o Carbs, specifically glucose and sucrose, as a general category cause massive spikes in insulin levels which, over time, can lead to insulin resistance and the body essentially “Runs out” of insulin and can lead to diabetes. D. Alpha Chow Infomercials - Contacted Arrow and speaking to him about an interview. - Short Version By Arrow: “The short version of the story is that a writer from a company that films shorts for Adult Swim contacted me because he wrote a script involving a buff mascot costume. He apparently found me from a fursuit parade video. After reading the script, I agreed, and flew down for a day-shoot. It was an amazing experience – I was treated as “talent” as much as any of the other actors in the short, and everyone was friendly and fun. I got to be in prosthetics and I got to say a line on camera. The complete story is below!” - Source: Arrow’s Blog: https://arrowt.wordpress.com C. 11 Fitness Myths 1. Sit Ups And Crunches Are Most Effective For Six-Pack Abs o Truth: Moves like planks and push ups are much more effective at carving out your ab muscles than sit ups and crunches. |This doesn’t make sense. At all.| 2. Cardio Burns The Most Calories o Truth: If you want to burn more fat overall -- and keep burning it...

Holiday Fitness Tips - Prioritize Your Time - During the holiday rush many people forget to give themselves “you” time. If one can’t get a normal workout in it best to at least do 30 minutes of activity first thing in the morning. - Pick Your Indulgences Wisely - Indulge wisely and in moderation. Is the goodie in question one you can eat year-round, or is it a seasonal special? There's no point blowing your diet on a cookie that comes from a box purchased from the supermarket. You can throw those in your cart at any time. - Buddy Up - Find someone with similar goals, and work together to accomplish them, this can help with staying on track during the holiday eats. - Schedule Training Wisely - Plan ahead a little before diving in to workout. Putting the turkey and stuffing to go use. Time your meals so you can use them as fuel or to replenish nutrients. - Other Tips On Link’s Website - Links: http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/8-holiday-fitness-tips.html C. Volume Training - What is Volume Training? - To train a muscle group many times over above 15 sets (many times one does that exercise). - Risk: Obvious risk of overtraining, - Do 18–26 sets for large body parts, like back and quads. Do 15–20 sets for smaller body parts, like triceps and calves - Work out six days weekly, and train all body parts, other than abs and calves, only once a week. This will allow you to keep your intensity up throughout the entire routine. - Keep all workouts to 90 minutes or less. - In order to maintain your intensity, increase your overall workout volume gradually. Don’t add more than two sets per week. - Link: http://www.flexonline.com/training/training-style-volume-training C. Protein - What is the best time to eat protein? - Most people get their protein intake at breakfast and dinner times. - Is there an advantage to spreading protein intake throughout your day? *Pause* Hell, yes. - Researchers studied 24-hour muscle-protein synthesis in a group of healthy men and women. - Protein synthesis was 25% higher when subjects consumed protein evenly at each meal. The researchers concluded that it’s better to have protein with breakfast, lunch, and dinner than having a big, high protein meal at night. 4. Emails A.

TopicsLift Weights, Improve Your Memory, Study Shows: Here's another reason why it's a good idea to hit the gym: it can improve memory. A new Georgia Institute of Technology study shows that an intense workout of as little as 20 minutes can enhance episodic memory, also known as long-term memory for previous events, by about 10 percent in healthy young adults."Our study indicates that people don't have to dedicate large amounts of time to give their brain a boost," said Lisa Weinberg, the Georgia Tech graduate student who led the project."The findings are encouraging because they are consistent with rodent literature that pinpoints exactly the parts of the brain that play a role in stress-induced memory benefits caused by exercise."Source: http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2014/10/141001102028.htm Fitness Regimen Helps Older Men Live Longer: Researchers and experts have said that exercise and increased physical activity is good for the body at any age, but new data suggests in particular that regardless of a man's age, cardiovascular fitness can add more years of life.‘Higher in fitness means lower in mortality rates'Researchers found that when compared to the subjects with the least ability to exercise - those who belonged to the low-fit group - the subjects in the next-highest category of low-fit had an 18 percent lower risk of dying. Men who were considered moderately fit had a 36 percent lower risk of passing away; men in the high-fit category had a 48 percent lower risk of death.In other words, Reuters reported, for every 100 people placed in the very low-fit category who would die, the high-fit group saw only 52 subjects die.Source: http://www.naturalnews.com/045356_longevity_high_blood_pressure_fitness.html Planet Fitness Kicks Pregnant Woman Out Of The Gym For Her 'Belly Hanging Out” A young pregnant woman was working out on a treadmill at a Planet Fitness gym in Charlotte, N.C., when one of the staff approached her and explained that she couldn't bare her bulging midriff. She had to change tops or leave. So she was given a choice. Melissa was wearing a string tank top, which Planet Fitness doesn't allow under their dress codes. Melisa complained that that's what she had worn each time she came to the gym, so that didn't make sense to her, a reasonable complaint but not a major newsworthy issue.Here's Planet Fitness' official entry into the much-ado-about-nothing incident from PR Director McCall Gosselin: "This particular location also had a stated policy that prohibited bare midriffs. In this instance, a staff member approached the member to inform her of the policy and offer her a free t-shirt to complete her workout. She was not asked to leave the gym as a result of her attire.Source: http://www.naturalnews.com/045011_Planet_Fitness_pregnant_woman_exercise.html Gym Stereotypes What do we see in the gyms?Where do we think we fall into?What do we hate the most.Our thoughts on the subject overall.

Saving the spine o Our spine is important in everything we do in our lives. Keeping it safe while lifting for work or for a plain walk in the sun. Here are a few tips to keep in mind when working out or lifting something heavy in the gym or at home. 1. Be active. Walking, running, swimming anything, the healthier one can be. 2. Maintain good posture. While sitting in front of a computer or doing homework keep a good posture while sitting. 3. Work the core region. Do different core exercise that will strengthen the abs and lower back. 4. Skipping that Military presses (where a barbell is lifted overhead), it can axially load the spinal column. Running can also be risky, he says. Just make sure you get your cardio some other way. 5. Don’t ignore sighs. When back pain first occurs, you'll probably keep doing what you're doing; you'll try to fight through the discomfort. Stop what your doing and rest your back. o Source: http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/save-your-spine-10-tips-for-avoiding-the-misery.html E. Emails 1.

Shoulders tend to be thin with little width.Ectomorphs find it very hard to gain weight. They have a fast metabolism which burns up calories very quickly. Ecto’s need a huge amount of calories in order to gain weight. Workouts should be short and intense focusing on big muscle groups.Small “delicate” frame and bone structureFlat chestSmall shouldersThinLean muscle massFinds it hard to gain weightFast metabolismSource: http://www.muscleandstrength.com/articles/body-types-ectomorph-mesomorph-endomorph.html B.

It's an issue with serious bodybuilding, and alternatives to the otherwise obvious.“Maybe the key to not getting fatigue is to have no variety at all” ForumsThe idea is to have a variety in your diet so this does not happen.Variation is the key.

Topics (30 – 90 minutes) · Review: § Body types can be place in to three main categories § Ectomorph – Tall & Lean (FMC - 33) § Mesomorph – (FMC – 34) § Endomorph – Shorter and usually a bigger person. (FMC – 35) § Mixed – These body types are not set and stone and people can have a combination of two body types. A. Mesomorph – · Large Muscle with naturally athletic physique. · A mesomorph has a large bone structure, large muscles and a naturally athletic physique. They find it quite easy to gain and lose weight. · Traits: § Athletic § Generally hard body § Well defined muscles § Rectangular shaped body § Strong § Gains muscle easily § Gains fat more easily than ectomorphs · When it comes to training endomorphs find it very easy to gain weight. Unfortunately, a large portion of this weight is fat not muscle. To keep fat gain to a minimum, endomorphs must always train cardio as well as weights. Usually supplements may not be needed as long as the person has a high protein intake in their diet. · Source: http://www.muscleandstrength.com/articles/body-types-ectomorph-mesomorph-endomorph.html B. Rice Is Nice! (Occasion) · Each food has a unique nutrient profile — high in some nutrients and low in others. · A person who only eats nothing but chicken breasts, rice and broccoli, will still be lacking nutrients that should be balanced out by eating other foods in some of his daily meals. · If rice is not for you try other complex carbs, such as yams, oatmeal, potatoes, pasta and whole-grain breads, you will still be covering your bases. · Also try mixing some lemon juice and sugar with your rice to get it to separate and to give it moisture. This may make it more palatable for you. If you still don’t like it, then turn to complex carbs that you will enjoy eating. · Keeping in mind that food balance is always important to the body. · Source: http://www.flexonline.com/nutrition/rice-occasion · Source: http://www.examiner.com/article/bodybuilding-and-the-importance-of-rice-the-diet C.
