reasoning Fitness Challenge: 90 Days to convert


Fun or Fitness

I have read hundreds of examples recently where habitancy have taken a 90 day challenge to improve the bodily fitness and I love it! What better way to get in bodily shape than partner with a society of like-minded individuals? However, with all the focus on a bodily challenge, aren't habitancy missing out on two other key aspects of fitness - the mental and spiritual sides?

If habitancy are going to challenge themselves anyway, why not set in motion a 90 day total mental fitness challenge? Work on all three areas of life by improving one's physical, mental, and spiritual sides. For example, just as flabby muscles must be worked out in order to tone and strengthen, so too does flabby thinking. In fact, if anything, flabby mental can have more disastrous effects in a person's life than flabby muscles. Therefore, if a man is investing power for 90 days anyway, then make it a total transformation, not just a bodily one.

A person's thought life changes when he begins to feed on a steady diet of safe bet books, audios, and relationship with others who do the same. Indeed, I know of no other operation than can turn a person's life as fast as changing his associations. Birds of a feather, in other words, do flock together. My good friend, the late Charlie "Tremendous" Jones, used to say, "Five years from now you will be pretty much the same as you are today except for two things: the books you read and the habitancy you get close to" It was eighteen years when I first heard Charlie's words and took his advice. It changed everything.

Fitness experts say that 85% of bodily fitness is in proper dieting. I believe the same principle holds true for mental and spiritual dieting as well. Tell me the thought diet a man routinely feeds his mental and spiritual sides and I can fairly accurately predict his five year future. Success is that predictable; however, it isn't that easy.

Why not? Because the right habits, although easy to do, are also easy not to do. Left to themselves, most habitancy will select the path of least resistance, which means chronic in their bad habits rather than changing. The good news, however, is that through associating with others in a 90 day challenge, a man can leverage the society to help drive his personal change. In essence, society is the difference between good intentions and good results. Many will give up on themselves, but fewer are willing to give up on others who are counting on them.

Fortunately, it only takes three steps for a man to turn everything:

1. Construct a proper diet for the food and thoughts entering his body and mind.

2. Make commitments to himself and others to consequent the new diet for 90 days.

3. Enunciate relationship with others who have committed to do the same thing.

There it is. A recipe for success in any area of life. It's been said that a man changes when the pain of staying the same or the joy of changing becomes big enough. Eighteen years ago, I took Charlie "Tremendous" Jones up on his mental fitness challenge and it has made all the difference for me. I share this with the readers to encourage them in the three step process for real change. Are you ready to take the mental fitness challenge?

Jogging Bad For Weight Loss and Fitness? Yes!


Fun or Fitness

Why Jogging Is Bad For Weight Loss And Fitness

Drive down any scenic road on a weekend morning, and you're likely to see more joggers than scenery. You might feel jealous at how fit and energetic they look, and perhaps even a twinge of shame as you look down at the box of donuts in the seat next to you which was your purpose for being out this beautiful morning.

But are your feelings of jealousy and shame justified? Should it be you out there in high end cool running gear jogging along to shed some pounds and get more fit?

After a truthful analysis, we think you'll agree the literal, rejoinder is No, that should not be you. Why?

Because Jogging is Bad for weight loss and fitness.

While you surely should be looking for ways to lose weight and become more fit, millions of people are doing more harm than good selecting jogging as their form of exercise. Can millions of people be wrong? Well, grab a donut, read on and settle for yourself.

First A Few Definitions

Ok, let's be clear who and what we are talking about with some definitions:

Jogger - person who runs 1 hour per workout session at a pace of 5 miles per hour (12 minutes per mile). Since many joggers keep a faster pace than that. We will also address "Runners" who keep an 8 mile per hour pace (under 8 minutes per mile). These definitions are in case,granted by the Mayo Clinic Weight Loss Website.

Weight Loss - The losing of weight per your scale or your clothes feeling more loose. Sorry, buying new, larger clothes does not qualify under this definition (be great if it would, eh?).

Fitness - There are many ways to define fitness. We have chosen one that hopefully matters to the most people: A person's farranging bodily health measured by their ability to successfully accomplish a wide range of functional tasks.

Why Jogging Is Bad For Weight Loss And Fitness - The Evidence
Caloric Deficit

You will likely outeat the fat you burn while jogging or running

According to the Mayo Clinic, a 160 pound person who jogs for an hour will burn 584 calories. A 160 pound runner ramps up the fat burned in an hour to 986. If you weigh more you burn more calories, if you weigh less you burn less. Many people don't jog for an hour per workout, but we want joggers to have a opening at success here so we'll pretend they all do.

In order for our jogger to lose weight as a direct succeed of this workout they will need to ensure they do not eat more fat than the 584-986 they just burned. This is what's called the "caloric deficit" and it's probably the most widely acceptable and proven recipe to weight loss.

How realistic is that? Not very. An hour of any rehearsal tends to generate a pretty serious appetite at some point later that day (which would be the worst time to eat it by the way), let alone the feeling of "entitlement" that comes from a workout well done. So most joggers (from here send when I say joggers I am along with "runners" unless noted) are going to head out for a nice meal to celebrate their efforts. A meal that will have much higher fat than what they would eat if they didn't jog.

But does it well take a huge meal to make jogging or running a net loser for weight loss? The Power Bar you eat right before the run has 230 calories, that bagel with the cream cheese "schmear" you eat with your running group after the run has 400 or more calories, as does One decent sized slice of pepperoni pizza you've well earned. If you settle to splurge on dessert because you jogged today, any decent one will well add 500 or more calories. We won't even mention the join extra beers or glasses of wine...oops, guess we just did!

So it's a good bet that joggers and even runners will add sufficient fat to their diets on rehearsal days to outeat what they just burned, which at best will be a breakeven, and very often will generate a net caloric (as in Weight) Gain.

But we are not stopping there. What about on those days you don't jog? How many people are well that disciplined to cut back on their eating since they won't be burning those further calories? More often, you hear "I'll run this off tomorrow" as they head back for seconds on the pasta. So, now the growth in fat caused by jogging on workout days leads to more fat on non workout days, further increasing weight gain.

We assert this is how Most people carry on their eating, which means most joggers are gaining weight as a succeed of their jogging efforts.

To be fair, there are a take few people who do carry on their fat more effectively than outlined above-- we have a name for those people - "The 2% club": The 2% of people who successfully assert a low calorie diet. While members of the 2% club can generate a caloric deficit by jogging, it still will not be a necessary deficit, and more importantly 2% Clubbers Don'T Need To Jog To Lose Weight because they are successfully dieting!

Muscle Catabolism

You will well lose muscle while jogging, especially since jogging does not involve your upper body in any meaningful way.

A "catabolic state" refers to the state in which your body is burning protein for its nutritional needs. A catabolic state is one you'd like to avoid as it means you are burning muscle to generate energy for your rehearsal efforts. Yet joggers and runners are putting their bodies in this state every time they work out.

When you jog you are using your leg muscles which gives them a infer to grow stronger. That's good, but to jog for an hour your body needs to find energy, and low intensity activities like jogging for an hour will need to way energy from all potential sources which comprise fat and muscle.

Here's a easy question: What does jogging do to advantage your upper body? easy answer: Nothing. So along with the fat you want to burn, your body is burning muscle as part of it's energy to let you do your jogging workouts. And, where is it most likely to "catabolize" this muscle? From your upper body where it's not being used and therefore not needed.

And while jogging can give you stronger legs, a weak upper body is harmful to fitness as defined at the start of this essay. This is one example of how jogging harms your fitness. There's more to come.

Most joggers and runners become aware of this and start doing upper body resistance training such as weight lifting to prevent muscle catabolism. That's a well good idea, but that's not jogging for fitness is it? No, that's having to do More rehearsal to offset the negative effects of jogging!

Plus, studies indicate that every pound of muscle on your body takes 3 to 10 times more fat to preserve than fat, so allowing any muscle catabolism means you are well slowing your metabolism throughout the day. Slower metabolism does not sound like a good thing for whether weight loss or fitness does it?

Again, the devil's advocate will want to argue that joggers can minmize muscle catabolism without supplemental rehearsal by using Target Heart Rate Training. Basically, this involves exercising at a rate below your "target" heart rate to encourage more fat burning. So now we are jogging slower which means we are burning fewer fat which harms our caloric deficit. This makes weight loss even more difficult. Now we're confused. What's the most sufficient way to jog again? Do we jog faster and burn more fat or jog slower and save more muscle?

Adaptive Response

Your body will adapt to the challenge of jogging fairly quickly, thus development it progressively harder to lose weight or become more fit. Once your body adapts to jogging you enter a "death spiral" of needing to run further or faster or both to see any further improvement.

Adaptive response is just a fancy way of saying that your body will do it's best to adjust to whatever level of rehearsal you are trying to do. It will "adapt". This is why it's a lot easier to complete the 1 hour jog after you have done it 10 times than it is the first time you try it.

But when it comes to weight loss, adaptive response is exactly what you don't want. It means your body has reached a state where jogging is no longer a challenge, and because you are now capable of handling the task at hand, there is no infer to drop any further fat or add any more muscle. In addition, your metabolism has a similar adapative response. You will be doing the same exercise, but whatever metabolic benefits you were getting will continue to decrease the better you get at it. You might think of this situation as a "plateau".

As adaptive response makes your runs less and less sufficient from a fitness, metabolic and weight loss standpoint, joggers are left with 2 choices: run faster or run farther to give your body a new challenge that it needs to heighten upon in order to adapt. Running faster or farther is not necessarily a bad thing, but it dramatically increases your chances of injury and also starts to take an excessive estimate of time to accomplish an sufficient workout. Plus it's Hard. A much harder jog (or run) that lasts a lot longer increases your chances of giving up on your jogging program. And if you do give up jogging because it becomes too much work to see any results, you are at risk of necessary weight gain without an even more restrictive diet.

Bottom line, your adaptive response to jogging has a safe bet aspect in that it's good for your ability to jog (not necessarily for your farranging fitness--see Practical Applications), but it's Bad for your weight loss efforts, and it creates a never ending "death spiral" of harder, longer jogs or harder, faster runs that most people will have problem staying with due to injury or lack of motivation.

Injuries And Other health Issues

Jogging's repetitive request for retrial over long periods of time makes joint injuries very likely. Other injury and health concerns come from the adaptive response death spiral mentioned above, running in traffic and in inclement weather.

Pavement is hard and unforgiving. Your legs pounding against it for thousands of steps per jogging session can cause serious short term and long term injuries to your joints and muscles.

Sure, there are good running shoes that can help prevent injuries, but sooner or later you're bound to injure a knee or ankle or even worse, a hip while jogging.

There's also the issue of running on the roads with automobile traffic which has been known to cause serious injury or even death. That cannot be thought about a plus for joggers.

And, the sheer distance of jogging, a repetitive request for retrial for 1 full hour, increases the opening of a range of injuries like shin splints or a range of foot problems versus shorter forms of rehearsal due to muscle fatigue.

There's more. Observation must be given to the health and protection risk of running in inclement weather. Jogging in extreme heat or cold, rain, snow or worst of all icy conditions greatly increases the risk of injury or an illness that makes you miss workouts for a short period of time or perhaps something worse.

Of policy the treadmill offers a viable explication to many of these issues, but not all of them. And many joggers insist on jogging outdoors throughout the year. When they do, the risk of injuries and other health connected issues is very real and should be thought about in an appraisal of the benefits of jogging.

Practical Applications

Jogging has few practical applications. Jogging is not a good form of training for most other activities -- except for more jogging. Plus, the loss of upper body muscle and lower body joint problems that often succeed from jogging can well decrease your farranging fitness level.

Remember our definition of fitness: A person's farranging bodily health measured by their ability to successfully accomplish a wide range of functional tasks.

We would have to concede jogging could heighten your abilities at the following activities:

1) More Jogging
2) Basketball - well not well the sprinting up and down the court to be competitive, but you can jog down to set up a half court play with the best of them.
3) Football - Jogging from the huddle to the line of scrimmage.
4) Baseball - Jogging to the dugout with a beer in your hand at your weekly softball league.

Umm, that's all we can think of. The rest of the activities in the above sports and many others like skiing, tennis and golf need power (both muscle and joint), the ability to use your body at full speed, as well as hand eye coordination, none of which are helped by jogging.

The fact that jogging has no practical applications as cross training for any other sport makes it a lot of time spent for very puny benefit, except of policy for #1 above--more jogging. This is especially true when you assess jogging to other rehearsal alternatives like power training, and interval training. You can spend a lot less time exercising and become more sufficient at performing all sorts of other sports and activities. This in turn offers you more opportunities to have fun and heighten your fitness. Does developing your jogging skills help you with any other activities or tasks you like to do?

The Verdict?

Based upon the wonderful evidence outlined above, the verdict is Jogging is a Bad rehearsal for weight loss and fitness. Running for an hour at a faster pace does offer safe bet advantages over jogging but still ends up a net negative for weight loss and fitness when all the factors are considered.

Sunday Driving

So, the next time you head out for weekend donuts you can smile at thin or fit looking joggers, because now you know they didn't get that way by only jogging. And when you get home, grab a maple custard (my favorite!) and spend 30 minutes studying weight loss and fitness plans that work on enhancing your body's metabolism to solve the caloric deficit question because there are much better ways than exercising endlessly and cutting calories. Also, a good fitness plan should put in order you for a wide range of tasks and activities.

If you study hard and plan correctly, your rehearsal program should only take half the time the joggers spend but will take you much further down the road to weight loss and fitness.

We hope you do your homework and find the plan that's right for you because being happy with your weight and fitness is a great feeling that every person should enjoy.

Golf Fitness Exercises For Women Golfers


Fun or Fitness

Golf fitness exercises can be beneficial for the woman golfer in terms of enhancing the foundation of the swing, rotation in the backswing, speed improvement in the downswing, and a consistent conclude position. Learn how golf fitness exercises can benefit the woman golfer. Lowering scores and development the game more enjoyable.

It is well known in professional golf how integral golf fitness exercises are for success at the top levels. Men on the Pga Tour and women on the Lpga Tour understand the benefits of golf fitness exercises in achieving success. Exterior the circles of professional players many questions exist about golf fitness exercises. Questions such as; what are the best exercises to enhance golf fitness levels, are flexibility exercises and stretches best than other forms of golf fitness exercises, and what are the benefits of golf fitness exercises for the woman golfer?

These and many questions surround the topic of golf fitness. This article is to furnish some answers for you on the topic of golf fitness exercises for woman. It has been well documented in magazines and television how Lpga women such as Annika Sorenstam utilize fitness programs to benefit their play on the course. Is there a distinction in the middle of the Lpga player and the amateur woman in relation to golf fitness training? The respond is no. Yes, the women on the Lpga Tour are the best women golfers in the world, but the physiology of the Lpga player and amateur are the same. The skeletal, muscular, and neural systems are the same. The professional player has the same whole of muscles in their bodies as the amateur. The woman's professional player has the same skeletal structure as the female amateur, and nervous theory as well. Granted the Lpga player has more refined and efficient swing mechanics, but the body is the same.

As a consequent of the body being the same, the theory and structure of a golf fitness schedule for any woman is similar. Before discussing the specifics of a schedule for women it is vital to understand a few leading principles. The first principle to understand about a fitness schedule is sports specific. Sports exact is a term describing the type of training utilized in a golf fitness program. Sport exact training plainly states the schedule utilized by the woman athlete is geared towards enhancing them in their chosen sport.

A second principle closely associated to sports exact training is cross specificity training. Cross specificity training is the utilization of exercises to create the woman golfer in the positions, movements, and actions incorporated in the golf swing. The goal of cross specificity training is a change of training consequent to the field of competition. plainly stated, a change of training consequent is the quality of exercises utilized to train the female golfer having a direct benefit on their doing on the course.

For example, golf flexibility exercises will exertion to enhance the flexibility within the player. As the player improves their flexibility parameters in relation to the swing. She may be able to generate a bigger shoulder turn, which may increase the distance of her drives. This benefit is an example of a change of training consequent onto the golf course. In summary, the three theory that assist in the improvement of a golf fitness schedule for women are; sports specific, cross specificity training, and change of training effect. Many added theory exist that are used as guidelines in the improvement of a fitness program, but these are three vital ones.

Outside of the guidelines governing the improvement of a golf fitness schedule for woman. exact corporal components within the body are needed within the body to execute the golf swing correctly. Remember, it is the body performing the biomechanics of the swing. In order for the swing to be executed correctly and efficiently sure levels of flexibility, balance, strength, endurance, and power are required. These are the actual corporal components within the golfer a fitness schedule looks to create and enhance in relation to the golf swing.

The swing requires the body to move straight through a long range of appeal for an efficient movement to occur. Much of this is contingent upon the quality of the core to coil and uncoil during the swing. In order for these two biomechanical actions to occur efficiently, the improvement of allowable flexibility in the core is necessary.

We utilize flexibility exercises that are cross-specific to the movements in the swing to create flexibility. The majority of these flexibility exercises are rotational and dynamic.

The swing is a dynamic movement, indicating that the body is in constant motion. It is crucial to create a range of appeal in a dynamic rather than a static (not moving) method. The goal of these exercises is to generate a range of appeal in the core for the golf swing. Flexibility is the first corporal component requiring improvement within the woman golfer.

One needs to maintain, dynamically, a garage body throughout the entire swing. We have all hit balls at the range and know what happens when we do not stay balanced during the swing. enhancing the balance and stabilization capabilities of the core translates into a best golf swing. best balance equals a best Swing. Even subtle movements are consistency killers; thus we need to create and contend balance for a consistent swing.

Balance is associated to the efficiency of the nervous theory and force of the muscular theory working together. The improvement of greater balance in the core and swing is the consequent of two types of exact exercise. The first challenges the nervous theory creating greater efficiency. The second are exercises that generate increased force in the core. The aggregate of these two types of exercises permit for the body to contend posture, promote efficient weight transfer, and generate power in the swing. The consequent is a more consistent, accurate, and noteworthy swing. This is the second component included with a golf fitness program.

Remember that the golf swing is a repetitive movement. The mechanics of the swing repeat with each stroke. This process can be repeated hundreds of times in a round of golf. Ever go to the range and hit two buckets of balls? At some point the body starts to tire, and shots scatter.

Proper endurance training enables us to repeat a sound swing. We furnish this straight through a series of exercises developing endurance in the entire body. This nets us a consistent swing straight through eighteen holes. Addition endurance leads to lower scores. This is the third corporal component of the golf fitness schedule for women.

Club head speed is a function of power. The more power generated by the body, the greater speed at which a club head impacts the ball. More power to the ball equals longer drives. Developing higher levels of power within the muscular theory of the body is achieved straight through the implementation of power exercises. These types of exercise assist in creating higher power outputs of the muscles complex in the golf swing. Power training is the final component found in a golf fitness schedule for women.

In summary a golf fitness schedule for the Lpga or amateur woman golfer is relatively the same. Golf exercises for the woman golfer are sports specific. The exercises are cross-specific to the movements, positions, and requirements of the swing. The exercises within a woman's golf fitness schedule induce a change of training consequent onto the course. The swing requires sure levels of flexibility, balance, strength, endurance, and power to execute correctly. A golf fitness schedule for women will look to enhance these corporal components of the body. The end consequent is an improved swing equating to lower scores and more enjoyment on the course.

8 Key Training law For Fitness and Sports Training


Fun or Fitness

The 8 Training theory are research-based guidelines that can help you accelerate your training enlarge and optimize your results. Knowing how to apply these theory gives you an educated basis on which you can make informed decisions about designing your fitness or sports training program. The theory can also help you rate the merits of fitness tool and personal training services.

All of the theory complement each other. For best results, they should be applied in concert throughout every phase of training.

1. Principle of Specificity suggests that your body will make adjustments agreeing to the type of training you perform and in the very same muscles that you exercise. How you train determines what you get.

This principle guides you in designing your fitness training program. If your goal is to improve your farranging level of fitness, you would devise a well-rounded program that builds both endurance and farranging body strength. If you want to build the size of your biceps, you would increase weight loads on bicep curls and connected exercises.

2. The Principle of Overload implies that you must continually increase training loads as your body adapts over time. Because your body builds and adjusts to your existing training regimen, you must gently and systematically increase your work load for continued improvement.

A commonly appropriate guideline for weight training is to increase resistance not more than 10% per week. You can also use percentages of your maximum or estimated maximum level of performance and work out within a target training zone of about 60-85% of maximum. As your maximum performance improves, your training loads will increase, as well.

3. The Principle of rescue assets that you must get sufficient rest in the middle of workouts in order to recuperate. How much rest you need depends upon your training program, level of fitness, diet, and other factors.

Generally, if you perform a total body weight workout three days per week, rest at least 48 hours in the middle of sessions. You can perform cardio more often and on successive days of the week.

Over time, too puny rescue can consequent in signs of overtraining. Excessively long periods of rescue time can consequent in a detraining effect.

4. The Principle of Reversibility refers to the loss of fitness that results after you stop training. In time, you will revert back to your pre-training condition. The biological principle of use and disuse underlies this principle. Simply stated, If you don't use it, you lose it.

While sufficient rescue time is essential, taking long breaks results in detraining effects that may be noticeable within a few weeks. Necessary levels of fitness are lost over longer periods. Only about 10% of impel is lost 8 weeks after training stops, but 30-40% of endurance is lost in the same time period.

The Principle of Reversibility does not apply to skills. The effects of stopping custom of motor skills, such as weight training exercises and sport skills, are very different. Coordination appears to store in long-term motor memory and remains nearly perfect for decades. A skill once learned is never forgotten.

5. The Principle of distinction implies that you should consistently change aspects of your workouts. Training variations should all the time occur within ranges that are aligned with your training directions and goals. Varying exercises, sets, reps, intensity, volume, and duration, for example, prevents boredom and promotes more consistent correction over time. A well-planned training program set up in phases offers built-in variety to workouts, and also prevents overtraining.

6. The Principle of exchange suggests that workout activities can improve the performance of other skills with tasteless elements, such as sport skills, work tasks, or other exercises. For example, performing explosive squats can improve the vertical jump due to their tasteless movement qualities. But dead lifting would not exchange well to marathon swimming due to their very separate movement qualities.

7. The Principle of Individualization suggests that fitness training programs should be adjusted for personal differences, such as abilities, skills, gender, experience, motivation, past injuries, and bodily condition. While normal theory and best practices are good guides, each person's unique qualities must be part of the exercise equation. There is no one size fits all training program.

8. The Principle of balance is a broad plan that operates at separate levels of salutary living. It suggests that you must enounce the right mix of exercise, diet, and salutary behaviors. Falling out of balance may cause a variety of conditions (e.g., anemia, obesity) that work on condition and fitness. In short, it suggests all things in moderation.

If you go to extremes to lose weight or build fitness too quickly, your body will soon respond. You could contact symptoms of overtraining until you perform a salutary training balance that works for you.

For fitness training, balance also applies to muscles. If opposing muscles (e.g., hamstrings and quadriceps in the upper legs) are not strengthened in the right proportions, injuries can result. Muscle imbalances also conduce to tendinitis and postural deviations.

Keep these 8 Training theory in mind as you found and carry out your fitness training program. They can help you make wise exercise decisions so you can perform your goals more swiftly with less wasted effort.

Dance Fitness Shoes - choosing a Shoe For Zumba Class


Fun or Fitness

One of the most often asked questions I get as a Zumba instructor is concerning the type of shoe to wear. Zumba is a cardio exercise class that combines both dancing and fitness moves. A regular dance shoe will not have the shock absorption for the impact of exercise, and an athletic shoe that is strictly for training may not have the lightness and movement capabilities needed for dancing.

The write back is to get a dance-fitness or dance-aerobic shoe. With the increased popularity in dance-fitness classes such as cardio salsa, hip-hop fitness and Zumba, the shoe manufacturers have come out with a great assortment of aerobic type training shoes geared to the dance-fitness enthusiast. These shoes have multi-directional reserve and very slight tread on the sole. They are lightweight and make it easy to pivot and glide across the floor.

When choosing the right shoes for your feet, read the reviews or descriptions online. If you have a wide foot, narrow foot, or high arch, for example, there may be a brand of shoe that is better excellent for you. Nike and Ryka brands have a popular choice of dance aerobic shoes to pick from.

Adding a well-cushioned insert to the shoe will make it much more comfortable. Take out the insert that the shoe comes with and place in one that is designed specifically for cross training or aerobics. Replacing the inserts often will extend the life of the shoe itself.

Athletic shoes should be substituted every 3 to 6 months, depending on how much mileage you put on them. When you feel your knees and legs begin to ache after exercise it could mean that it is time to get a new pair of shoes.

In summary, the best shoe for a dance-fitness class is one that is lightweight, supportive and has slight tread on the sole. Find one specifically made for dance-fitness or dance aerobics. When you are wearing the right shoes you will have a better exercise experience, you will stick to your exercising and you will have more fun.
