Do You Know How You Can Be More "Toned"?

By Caleb Lee

If you want to look more "toned" more muscular and more "ripped" every day then read this article.

People (women predominantly) state that they want to be more "toned". In short, they don't necessarily want to build more muscle mass, but then they want the muscle that already have to look more in shape, toned, and defined.

How most people screw up attempting to get "toned"

Nearly everyone absolutely screw this up. They make an attempt to firm up by "going for the burn" when exercising. They do this since

1. Somebody told them heavy weights make you hulking...

2. Their muscles feel and look toned after they "Feel the burn" when working out with high reps.

Here's why you shouldn't "go for the burn" when exercising if you want to get in shape

The Burn is an increase in lactic acid

The reason you feel hard during and after the 'burn' is the same reason a corpse is stiff. Your muscle fibers are akin to mouse traps-they go off by themselves, but need energy to be reset to contract once again. A dead body is out of ATP, the energy compound that relaxes the muscles, that's why their muscles are permanently contracted.

An extreme rep exercise session weakens ATP in your muscle and leads to a brief hardness very much like what happens to a dead body. But you probably don't want to be dead, and yet you still want to be toned. The solution?

Real Muscle Tone: Tension

To get lasting tone, you need to exercise your nervous system to keep your muscles half flexed when you are calm. This is what muscle tone is-residual tension in a relaxed muscle! The kind of tension that comes from neurological activity, and not energy fatigue.

Increased muscle tone is not a physical change of your muscle. It is the result of the nervous system being more on the ball. It keeps the muscles somewhat contracted the whole time.

Strength = Tension = Tone

Strength and tone training is the same thing. If you learn to generate tension to gain strength, instead of building more muscle, then the stronger you are, the harder you will be. This means you need to focus on strength training to get that hard bod you want. Max tension = max strength.

For Ladies

* Want buns of steel? Heavy, high-tension deadlifts work your butt WAY more than butt squeezes, 'fire hydrants', or similar silly moves popular in 'muscle sculpting' classes

* Sculpt abs of steel? Intense, high-tension deadlifts, squats, overhead presses, ab wheel routines, planks, and the like force your abs to produce high tension

* Want toned, sleek, sexy hips and thighs? Deadlifts, squats, and other full body movements done with high tension, heavy weights are the ticket.

For males:

* Want a Thick Chest and Broad Shoulders? Extreme, High Tension Overhead Presses and Bench Presses will get you there

* Want a barnyard back? Weight Pullups and Bent over Rows to build those lats

* Sculpt a killer six-pack? Squats, Deads, Overhead Squats, Overhead presses, Ab Wheels and planks like the ladies

* Want big arms? Heavy presses and other overhead work.

You Can Strength Train and Not "Get Bulky"

Here's how you strength train without getting bulky: keep the number of repetitions at a low level. Then you will get stronger, harder, and more toned without getting any bigger. Keep the total number of reps short for every workout. A general rule is 10 reps or less. So two heavy sets of 5 would work with the major exercises.

If you want to get big, and build muscle: Lift more volume during your workout. Keep the reps low though so you're still able to lift with maximal tension and build more strength. 5 sets x 5 reps as an example for each major exercise.

So there you go. If you want to get maximum hard-body results and a lean chiseled abs, then you have to build strength. - 17274

Teenage Weight Loss, Dangers of Being Overweight

By Ricardo d Argence

Since 1980 the number of obese teenagers has tripled, today nearly nine million teens under the age of 15 are obese. The rise in teen-age obesity is staggering. Being overweight is hard enough but when you are a teenager it is even worse, there are health risks and social stigmatism.

Along with the rise in obesity numbers has been the rise in the number of children diagnosed with type two diabetes. This more severe form of diabetes used to only be seen in adults over the age of 40, lately research points to the increased obesity as the culprit. Type 2 diabetes can cause renal failure, blindness, and even death.

Sleep apnea causes those who have it to stop breathing for a brief time during sleep. People that are obese can suffer from sleep apnea, because it can cause breathing problems when lying down. The oxygen insufficiency which results may, depending on the circumstances, lead to major problems ranging from heart and brain damage to death.

Only recently have studies begun to show that asthma may have an obesity link. Severely overweight people the lungs under-expand leading to a narrowing of the airways. It has also been suggested that the low-grade systemic inflammation common in the obese, this inflammation can affect smooth muscle tissue and cause even more restriction of the airways.

It is noticeable that most of the teenagers of today are not after of their physical health but rather on something that could make them happy and fell comfortable. The overweight teen may have an awful experience at school. Other kids are cruel and say nasty things to them. It is a bad thing that overweight teenagers also suffer from mental issues due to their weight that is another concern enitrely.

Teen's eating habits are a big factor in obesity of that age group. Teens are known for their preference for junk food. Vending machines containing junk food have been removed in many school districts. They have replaced them with juice, water, and healthy snacks.

The teenager should begin changing their diet at home to go one-step further. Instead for healthy home cooked meals, they are so in love with and opt to stop eating the high calorie fast food.

To slowly introduce healthier choices in your diet, is the best plan. Three regular meals per day and two snacks. Throw away packaged foods in favor of home made. Beginning any meal with a small amount of food on your plate -remember they do not have to clean the plate!- and eating it in a slow, deliberate manner is the basis of "portion control." Eating several servings of fruits and vegetables will help you balance your diet. Sometimes the feeling of thirst can make us think we're hungry, drinking plenty of water and staying well hydrated is important and allows your body to function better.

Teenagers are getting less and less in the way of exercise. Increased television access, internet surfing and video games have made many a teenager almost sedentary. Take the television out of the bedroom and insist on viewing limits. Instead go for a walk as a family, or perhaps get bikes for everyone.

You could even do your housework in a way that you could get some exercise while doing them. Providing movement is your aim no matter what is necessary. - 17274

Acai Super Fruit from the Amazon Now Available in the West

By Marcus C. Evans

The berries of the South American acai are small and round and grow deep in the Amazon rain forests. Natives have harvested these small fruits by hand and climbed the trees they grow on to do so. The clusters of fruit at the tree tops (a type of palm tree) do not appear that different from the purple grapes we have here.

The taste of acai berries is a delightful mixture described as a mixture of berries and dark chocolate. The berry is quite small, approximately an inch with relatively little pulp. The seeds take up most of the interior of the berry. The natives, the Caboclo people of the Brazilian Amazon, harvest the berries for food and have enjoyed the many health benefits for centuries.

This amazing fruit makes up fifty percent of the native food intake. The acai berry is given the title of a "miniature super fruit." It's a fact that this fruit has the ability to provide people with great levels of energy and promotes overall health and strength. Many believe that it has the ability to control weight and native people consider these super berries to give users strong hearts, clear minds and long lives.

The pulp and juice of the acai are used to create juices and some other drinks. You will find these drinks popular in Brazil and Peru and more recently in Western countries. Brazilians eat the fresh fruit and sometimes have the fruit mashed in with tapioca, sugar and honey. It has also been mixed with granola and put into ice cream. The results of extraordinary benefits have been reported for decades throughout South America and have more recently been confirmed by others.

Acai berries contain a remarkable amount of healthy fats, and it's for this reason they are a incredibly perishable food. Because of this in Western countries acai is enjoyed in yogurts, juices and a healthy energy drink. It's available as fruit pulp frozen or as a freeze-dried powder. To eat the actual fruit of the berry requires you to be in close proximity to where it was harvested.

The acai berries contain anthocyanins and resveratrol which studies have shown to have a number of benefits to the human body. One such benefit is the fact that antioxidant levels in the blood stream increase significantly. This increase occurs within two hours of drinking something with acai pulp or juice in it. The boost in antioxidants improves the ability of the body to fight free radicals which attack healthy cells.

There are also ongoing studies that suggest that this fruit is good for the heart and blood circulation. Other studies are showing great promise that active ingredients in the berry may even be useful for fighting certain cancers.

For Australians and others who live and play at a fast pace, this fruit is able to provide energy whilst also providing other health benefits.

The energy levels and endurance experienced have turned a number of high profile sporting figures into serious proponents of the acai berry. People living athletic lives such as runners, swimmers and others who enjoy the outdoor life will find this supplement gives them all the energy they need to really enjoy their healthy and active life style. - 17274
