I had been going to the gym forever and training with him for over a year, and although I did see some improvement I was beginning to notice my shoulder development lagging behind [...] Have you done yoga before? The benefits of yoga are said to be not only physical, but also mental, and spiritual. But what is yoga anyways? According to Bikram Choudhury (Hatha) Yoga is a discipline that started over 4,000 years ago in India. Yoga, he says is for everyone and every body. The Yoga routine consists of a series of exercises known as poses. There are quite a few different “types” of yoga, the most popular ones are: Today is day number 62 of my 90 day challenge (where I want to see how much I can improve in this relatively short period of time). My initial weight was about 167 lbs, today I am at 173, most of which is muscle. There is some body fat, which I will focus [...] Strength training are exercises which you perform by repeating sets of exercises with the help of some form of resistance. In other words, using a pair of dumbbells to perform some arm curls are a form of strength training. You can perform other strength training exercises with only the help of gravity. Strength training, as you probably figured out, is not only good for your arms. Strength training increases your muscle mass giving you that sexy shape you are looking for, and as if that was not good enough, researchers have proven that strength training help you burn fat fast.

But what are some of the benefits of exercising? Beyond the “losing weight” benefit of exercising, moderate physical activity can change your body not only on the outside but more importantly inside. Continue reading 5 Reasons Why Exercise is Good Our bodies produce lactic acid when we perform any kind of exercise. As the body demand for energy increases the production of lactic acid increases as well. Until not very long ago, lactic acid had a negative connotation attached to it. But the truth is that lactic acid is a beneficial process that guarantees fuel to your muscles when needed. Continue reading What is Lactic Acid, and Is It Good or Bad Yor You? Hello! It’s day 37 out 90 in my journey to a new me. Working out and measuring my progress has really been more than just about my body. I am not going to lie, sticking to my plan requires a lot out of me. So far these are a few of the things I can tell you about any training program or routine you try: Have you heard people say that they feel like they have more energy ever since they started working out or exercising? It is true; exercise has the potential of bringing to your life energy and motivation. But getting through a workout can be challenging; this is when you need energy the most. So why are you so tired that you cannot complete your workouts? 6 tips for increasing your energy levels:I have been very busy lately, but I have had time to keep track of my meals and my exercises for the entire week! This is good news! I gained about 1 1/2 pound this week (this is what I wanted), hopefully most of it is muscle and not fat, but I haven’t [...] Sugar in large quantities before your exercise can have a negative impact on you. I know this first hand. Having a glass of juice, a piece of cake, cookies, or a glass of coke, or any other soda can make you dizzy while you workout. Why does this happen? Continue reading What about those drinks you can have while exercising?
Pretend you are sitting at your desk, the phone finally stopped ringing and the pile of papers is gone. You think about running to Starbucks, but wait! Continue reading Workout During your Break? The number of exercises we can do at home are many. Most of them require us to use our body weight as resistance (and these are great because no equipment is required). I believe that if you are going to be doing most of your workouts at home you need at the very least a set of dumbbells, a swiss ball, and a medicine ball. A yoga mat would also be helpful. It not only serves as a cushion, but it will also prevent your sweat from making contact with the floor (especially useful if the room where you perform your workouts is carpeted). Today: Planks.
