Tips For Setting Up Your Home Gym

By Kelly

If you're one of those people who routinely work out, then you have probably consider how hard it may be to set up your own home gym. Which is why in thise article, we'll talk about the specifics of getting your own home gym.

One of the first things you should consider in getting a home gym are the dimensions of each equipment. A home gym should be both functional, practical, but still easy to store. Not only do more compact equipment take up less space, but it is also a lot easier to assemble.

The next thing you should do is find a space or room in your house to put your home gym. While it would be nice to have a dedicated room for working out, most people just don't have that much free space. So it's better to set it up in a multi-functional room, such as a rec room or guest room.

You should also choose a multi-purpose machine, one that offers several workout stations. That way, you only need one machine to work out several parts of your body. It may be pricier than your single-purpose machine, but you should take into account that you are getting the value of several machines as well, eleminating the need of having to purchase additional equipment once you advance in your workout. So choosing this option will save you a lot of money.

If you have a smaller home, you should choose gym equipments that collapse or fold. You don't want to have an ugly, large treadmill taking up the middle of the room, where everyone can see it. Not only is it not aesthetically pleasing, but it doesn't hold much ergonomic sense.

Lastly, you don't need to buy everything all at once. Not only is this more expensive, but you really only need a few basics when you're starting out. - 17268

Muscle Building: Know Where You're Heading

By Rob Molloy

When you make the decision to change your body it is important to know at the outset what direction you want to take and how likely it is that you will reach your objective. It's quite likely that you have an idea of what you want your body to look like and how much fat you want, or perhaps the weight you want to be. But you will experience times when attaining your goal seems almost impossible and that you are not really progressing at all. People around you can also contribute to this feeling by saying something that makes you feel like you are failing. But the fact of the matter is that there will be results with any work that you do. The best way to be able to track how far you are getting is to set goals for yourself.

Setting goals is incredibly important. The first thing, is to sit down and ask yourself what it is that you want to accomplish and write down everything you can think of. Be as detailed as possible. With any goal setting you do, you need to do it the S.M.A.R.T way. It has to be Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, and Timely (done within a certain time frame). Get a journal and write everything in it. Put your goals somewhere that you can look at them all the time.

Long-term goals need to be specific, because the more specific they are the easier it will be for you to focus on each one. You need to determine what weight you would like to be. Do you want to build muscles and, if so, which muscle groups do you wish to target? Perhaps you are looking at changing your waist size, or you wish to alter your body fat percentage once you know what it is. The trick is to be specific and focus on your long-term goals first.

The goals you set for yourself need to be ones that you can measure. It's all very well and good to know that you want a smaller waist or that you want bigger muscles but you need to have a specific number in mind. You need to be able to keep track of any improvements you make which means you will need a tape measure and a scale. Once you find that you have attained the measurements you desired you can then know that you have attained the goal that you set.

Make sure that your goals are truly attainable for you and that thay are realistic. You may have these grand ideas that you definitely should be shooting for but one of the most frustrating things in life is to realize that you can not get to where you want to be because you set the bar too high. Don't set goals that will be impossible to achieve. You must also set a time frame for them to be done in. This must also be attainable and realistic. Write all of this down in your journal.

Also, try to visualize what it is that you want to accomplish. If you are trying to get back to the way you used to look then put that picture in prominent places for you to look at, so that you can constantly be reminded of what it is you are trying to do. If it is a certain person or people that you are trying to look like then have their picture up where it can easily be seen. If there is a motivating factor that is causing you to make these changes, someone you want to impress or win back, then put their picture up.

Now comes the short term goals. The best way to reach your long term goals is to attack them in bite size chunks. What is the best way to eat an elephant? One bite at a time. Have weekly goals that you write down for yourself. How much time are you going to spend on aerobic activity this week? How much time per day will you be doing it? What days are you going to be working on certain muscle groups. Write down a plan that you are going to stick to for the week. apply the S.M.A.R.T. method to your weekly goals.

Any journey needs a starting point and a destination. On this journey to a more healthy and fit body, it is you who is deciding the destination and it is you who is going to be plotting the course. You have total control over this adventure. Don't believe that it is something that you cannot do. You can. All you have to do to get good muscle growth and get in better condition, is to set good goals for yourself and then start on the journey. - 17268

Get Lean And Build Muscle Together: Possible Or Not?

By Eryk Helms

"How can I get lean and build muscle?" If I had a nickel for every time I've been asked this, I'd have a lot of nickels! This seems to be a topic that is at the top of so many persons' heads. Everybody would like to have at least a bit more muscle, but they gotta get rid of those love handles at the same time.

There are three basic ways I know of to get lean and build muscle at the same time, provided you have a good workout plan already:

1. Pack in the calories, and I mean clean, high quality calories, not chips, to pack on the muscle, and then, once you've reached the muscle mass you want, start "cutting" back to get ripped.

2. Get rid of the fat first, and then build the muscle by eating more and working out hard. Then you can go back in and get rid of the little bit of fat you've added back on.

3. Manage your calorie intake very closely, and watch your fat buildup along the way, and add in extra interval training to keep lean.

Each of these approaches has benefits and drawbacks. Let's look at them...

Method 1: We'll assume you're looking to add more than a pound or two here... What you want to do is to increase your calorie intake (and especially protein) so that you start gaining weight, and work out like crazy to make as many of those calories turn into muscle as possible. Once you reach the size you want, cut back the calories so that you are below "maintenance" and put more emphasis in your workout on fat burning to get rid of the "padding." So here you're going to bulk up fast, then you need to trim down.

Method 2: With this method, you're going to emphasize burning fat first to get lean, and then you add the extra calories to pack on muscle. The downside to this is that you will have to do some more fat burning on the back end, because you just can't convert every extra calorie to raw muscle. And of course you want to add on that muscle right now, right?

Method 3: Ithink this works best for a lot of people. You have to add extra calories to your diet to grow, but just don't pig out! Watch your body fat percentage. Cut back a bit if it starts to climb, and eat a bit more if you're not making enough progress. Start with 500 calories a day and watch it. Then, of course, you'll go through that last fat burning phase to get ripped. Along the way, throw in some high intensity interval training to help burn off any excess calories. You go a bit slower with this method, but you'll look better along the way.

So, basically, if you want to get lean and build muscle at the same time, it comes down to this: You need to eat enough good food to build muscle, and then you need to cut back and change the workout a bit to get lean. Pretty simple stuff; don't let anyone tell you different. - 17268

Chocolate Covered Strawberries - Make Them Or Buy Them?

By Gordon Granby

Spending a little time to whip up some chocolate covered strawberries is a fun way to spend part of a morning or afternoon. There's so many ways to do it and there's no wrong way. You can keep it simple or go crazy with a variety of toppings and items to roll the berries in and add extra flavor. Now if you don't have the time right now to do it, you can also order them quite easily. A number of companies are doing fun varieties of chocolate dipping with strawberries.

To get the health benefits from the real chocolate, it needs to be of good quality. Some companies add a number of preservatives, additives, and bad fats to make their ingredient price cheaper and profit higher. So be sure to review the ingredient list from a company or store that you are checking out. Don't be hesitant to ask them if they use a lot of fillers besides the chocolate. You or someone you know is going to be eating it, so take the responsibility and ask.

I don't know what your level of enjoyment is with different brands of chocolate, but let me share something that's probably not a big surprise. The better the ingredients, the better the final product. It just is that simple. The culinary knowledge and execution has to be there too. But it's like the old adage about dressing up a pig...you've got to look beneath the surface and check the ingredients.

Some companies may go less on the chocolate to save some money. Let's also hope they use a good strawberry to begin with. And think about the volume of strawberries covered with chocolate made every day. A one half inch reduction in chocolate coating makes a big difference in volume of chocolate used. Others take the chocolate more near the top and cover everything but the stem. That means more chocolate for you to eat. So there's one big difference in styles right there.

If you're shipping the chocolate strawberries when it's hot outside, or if it's going to someone in a humid and hot place, shipping details are very important. How many ice packs will be used to make sure the package stays chilled? Will insulated containers be adequate? Will dry ice also be used if requested? Does the company offer money-back policies if the package is not in satisfactory condition (i.e. melted and inedible) when received?

Did other customers give nice reviews of the store or company? Or were they not impressed by one aspect of the purchase process? True, this isn't a large or really important purchase like buying something of great value. But you still want to get it right the first time! And personal experience is the best way to find out naturally.You may even decide to get out the kitchen pots and cookie sheets and setup a weekend afternoon to make some chocolate covered strawberries for your own enjoyment! - 17268

Why You Need a Topnotch Mesothelioma Cancer Lawyer

By Heidi Wingrain

Are you one of the unfortunate workers who were exposed to asbestos in the workplace and have now been diagnosed with mesothelioma? If you are, you need to know your rights and consult with a mesothelioma cancer lawyer who can get you the restitution you both need and deserve. Mesothelioma is a devastating form of lung cancer caused by exposure to asbestos, and it has the power to destroy the lives of the patient and other family members. If you're being faced with medical bills, emotional issues, and burning anger at a company that allowed this to happen to you, you aren't alone. This has happened to hundreds of workers, and many are taking steps to seek the financial support they are entitled to.

Lawyers that specialize in mesothelioma cases are well-versed in all of the legal, emotional, and medical issues that you are facing, and they know how to get you the care and support you and your family are going to need. In addition, they will be able to provide you with the experienced legal counsel necessary to sort through the facts that are unique to your claim and get you the restitution that you deserve. It can be difficult to find an attorney who has the mesothelioma litigation experience to be able to help you; however, by doing some research and talking with others who have been through similar situations, you can find just the right person.

You are not to blame for what has happened to you. You couldn't possibly have known that the environment you worked in was going to make you sick. Even if you were aware that there were asbestos particles in the air, you most likely didn't know that they were hazardous. After all, we're all exposed to particulates in the air everywhere we go, and the majority of them do no damage. However, the company you worked for was aware of the risk to employees, and a mesothelioma cancer lawyer will tell you so.

As early as the 1920s there was evidence pointing to the fact that exposure to asbestos was dangerous for employees. During the '30s and '40s, scientific links were developed between asbestos and cancer. Companies that used asbestos in their manufacturing processes received repeated warnings about the problems that asbestos could be causing for employees and advised to switch to one of the safer materials that were available.

It's hard to believe in a country that prides itself on the value it places on human life, but executives in these companies made the decision to keep using asbestos, because it meant bigger profits and more money in their pockets. The health of their employees took a back seat to their greed, a fact that the courts now look upon as totally unethical. They also withheld the information they had concerning the asbestos-cancer link from their employees who continued innocently working in dangerous environments. Therefore, the bad decisions made by these heartless employers are being blamed for the suffering of their employees who contracted mesothelioma. Things could have been much different if they had only acted responsibly.

What the company you worked for has done to you is nothing short of criminal, and the legal system recognizes this fact. To go after your legal rights and the restitution you deserve, you're going to need a mesothelioma cancer lawyer who has the expertise to prove your claim. Some of the benefits you are entitled to include financial assistance to make up for lost wages, payment of medical bills that aren't covered by insurance, help in meeting funeral expenses, and emotional support for family members. Although your lawyer won't be able to get your health back for you, he can do a lot of things to make what you're going through easier for you, including providing your family with the financial security it needs. - 17268

Oprah on the Acai Berry

By Casandra James

As the talk shows & media are discussing weight loss & other health issues in detail, acai berry is catching up fame among the dieters. Dr. Nicholas Perricone, the renowned dermatologist has ranked acai berry on the top of his list of top 10 super foods. Along with the other experts, he has prescribed this diet to 'media queen' Oprah Winfrey who now weighs 200 pounds. Besides Oprah, Rachel Ray the known cook also recommended this diet supplement on her show. Her guest on the show explaining the benefits of acai were Dr. Perricone & cardiac surgeon, Dr. Mehmet Oz.

In an attempt to ride on the good comments Oprah and Rachael Ray have said about Acai Burn, diet scam artists have sprawled the internet for victims. It's all over the internet so you should really be careful when choosing the right place to buy Acai Berry products.

If you have been training hard and eating right and haven't seen the results you want after a few weeks then you may be a candidate for using a diet pill. If you have cheated part of that equation then you are definitely not a candidate for using a diet pill. Get back in the gym, handle your diet then come back.

If you still need some help after getting back on track (or after training hard) then AcaiBurn can help you. The pill of course if based off the acai berry which is a natural berry that grows in South America. The pill is better than grocery store diet pills because the over the counter pills are appetite suppressants and don't actually help you burn calories. This results in binge eating once you are off the pills. With a acai pill, you burn calories and feel more energetic for workouts. All that helps lose weight.

Acai Berry is only found in the Amazonian rainforest and is very hard to export overseas. This is the main reason why the bulk of Acai Berry marketing is done over the internet. There are only a few sites that offer real and genuine Acai products. - 17268

Getting A Home Gym - The Easy Way

By Mark

Contrary to what most people may think, having your own gym is not really all that hard to achieve, nor is it that expensive. So long as you know what exactly you want, and shop withing your means, setting up their own home gym is something that's relatively easy to do. So let's explore the following tips in setting up your own home gym.

First, you need to determine which parts of your body you are keen to tone or work out. Clarify you needs. Ask yourself what your purpose is for working out"is it to tone? To lose weight, or are you training for a marathon? Ask yourself why you need the instact access of a home gym, and find out your needs from there. Once you know what your goals are, it is easy to determine the various equipment that you'll need.

When still not quite sure what to get, the first rule of thumb, is to get something simple. By simple, we mean work-out machines that are not only practical, but are relatively affordable. While it's easy to fall in love with some of the newer machines and everything they have to offer, these new additions might not be exactly what you need. Start with the basics, you can never go wrong from there.

After you have determined your fitness goals, and where get your different machines, you should then look for a place to put them. An ideal workout room should be well ventilated, and have good airconditioning. Not only will this make for a more comfortable workout, but you won't reek as much as well!

If you're considering on getting a treadmill as part of your home gym collection, you should opt to get a motorized one. You should never skimp and buy the cheapest treadmill, as they can lead to a lot of accidents. Not only is this dangerous, but an injury can severely dampen your momentum. That's something you don't want, so make sure that you buy a good treamill to avoid any regrets.

One way to save money in buying your machines, is getting them second-hand. They may be used, but most machines are built to last. While you should always check for damages, you'll be amazed how much most second hand equipment have been kept in good condition. - 17268

Avoid Getting Stretch Marks When Bodybuilding

By Cliff Bacot

People think that stretch marks only afflict pregnant women, but that couldn't be further from the truth. Bodybuilders are another significant group that is susceptible to getting them, because of the speed at which the acquire muscle mass. When the gain quickly the skin is stretched beyond its limit and has a tendency to tear.

Those who use steroids are more likely to get stretch marks, because their muscle growth is even faster. However, just because a bodybuilder has stretch marks doesn't mean that they are using steroids. It is a double edge sword because building muscle makes a guy look good, but the stretch marks tend to detract from that.

In my opinion, the only true cure for stretch marks is to avoid them in the first place by maintaining a relatively stable weight. In other words, not to bulk up to an unreasonable degree. The practice of "bulking up", which is increasing a large amount of body weight in the form of muscle and fat in an attempt to gain net muscle over the long term, is an invitation to develop stretch marks. Gain lean mass slowly and never get fat.

Stretch marks are not cause by sweat or a strenuous workout as some falsely believe. Additionally men can certainly get them too, contrary to what some think. If you don't change the behavior that is causing the stretch marks, then they will only continue or get worse.

Once you do get them there are a number of creams that can be used both to prevent and treat them. These creams have ingredients that go into the places where the skin has been damaged, and once they have reached the second layer of skin, they begin to repair

The best you can do is wear or stretch marks proudly as a reward for your hard work. They demonstrate that you are building muscle at such a feverish pace that your skin couldn't keep up. In any event don't let them get you down and enjoy your new physique. - 17268
