Why spend a fortune on a personal trainer when your new smart phone can give you all the help you need to lose weight? With all the fitness apps available these days, your phone can do everything from tracking your workouts to helping you maintain a diet. For example, here are four cool apps every fitness junkie should download on their phone today.

1) GymPact. The biggest problem with working out on your own is that it’s so easy to talk yourself out of going to the gym. A new app called GymPact fixes that problem by forcing you to put your own money the line. The app forces users to ante up a certain amount of cash when scheduling their workouts. If you check into the gym using your phone’s GPS, you get to keep your money for the day. If you don’t, then you can kiss that change goodbye. The app is currently available for free on iOS and Android.

2) GymTechnik. If you’re in need of a full fitness suite, look no further than GymTechnik. The app allows you to m... read more]]> on 5/20/2013 Dustinneal12 on 5/16/2013 (0 comments)

When it comes to burning carbs, home improvement might not be the first thing that comes to mind. However, many people don’t realize that the manual labor required to build a table or paint a room is great for building muscle and shedding pounds. So if you’re looking for a creative new way to squeeze in your daily workout, here are a few projects that will get your heart pumping – and help your home look a lot better at the same time.

1) Build a set of patio furniture out of shipping pallets. Why spend a fortune on patio furniture when you can just build your own for next-to-nothing?

Cholesterol is one of those unavoidable by-products of life in the 21st century. Some types of it are good for you, some types of it are bad for you, but everybody has it and most people can live a healthy life in spite of it. However, if you let your bad cholesterol levels spike too high, plaque can start to build up in your arteries, putting you at risk of a heart attack or stroke.
Luckily, keeping your body plaque-free isn’t difficult. By incorporating a little bit of exercise into your daily routine you can keep the bad cholesterol at bay while simultaneously making yourself healthier overall – and by “a little bit” I mean you don’t even have to go to the gym to do it. For example, here are four easy everyday exercises that you can use to keep your cholesterol levels in check.

Without the fun, humor and laughter that jokes bring, the world will be all frowns. Funny jokes are created to reflect life in unusual, hilarious and entertaining ways. A good laugh is as infectious as funny jokes are impacting to life. In adding humor to life's experiences, funny jokes make the world worth smiling. The laughter that funny jokes bring makes people feel like a kid again and cope with difficult situations by looking at the lighter side of any circumstance in life. Funny jokes bring simple pleasures in life as they present a classic way of keeping people entertained.

One thing that is great about funny jokes is that it gives people a great way to channeling life's negativity and turning it into something that is constructive. It uses your pain as the basis of humor, your cynics as your wits, and it uses puns for its punch lines. Funny jokes provide you with a constructive use of your lies, untruths and frustrations. It brings a sense of release that prevents ... read more]]> on 5/8/2013 robinjohnson on 5/8/2013 (0 comments)

Whether you are looking to improve your overall strength and fitness, or you are intending on strengthening your arms, there are many training methods you can use to achieve arms like a cage fighter. Having the correct routine will ensure that you have great punching power that will enable you to beat your opponent.
Here’s a guide to gaining arms like a cage fighter:
Take your Time
When working your arms, you also need to make sure you are lifting the weights up for one second and down for three seconds with each repetition. The downward (eccentric) phase of the exercise is the most important as it will ensure that three times as many muscle fibres are activated. Lowering each weight steadily and slowly will work the biceps and triceps much harder, whilst your muscles will also be under load a little longer.

Working to failure will help you to achieve results

To build up the strength in your muscles you must fatigue the arms to make sure th... read more]]> on 4/15/2013 BodyBuilderP on 4/4/2013 (0 comments)

Getting into the gym or working out on your own is a major component to create a body and health transformation, especially as we all begin to experience the dramatic impact of being overweight on ourselves and other people. But here is such a thing as pushing too hard and too fast.

The level of this approach is on experienced fitness level while being marketed to fitness beginners – a perfect recipe for disastrous results as well as injury. Ideally, you want to shape and mold your body in the right way while keeping yourself free from injury. Remember, getting hurt and injured means less time for work-outs.

A new health study reveals that office women and other professionals at high risk for neck trauma.

A study reveals women professionals and working in offices are nearly three times as likely as men to suffer work related neck pain. This study was conducted by Dr Julia Hush of the Back Pain Research Group (University of Sydney). The preliminary study was published in the European Spine Journal. The study involved 53 office workers at the University of Sydney in course of a year.

The study reveals that this stems mainly from use of computers.

Using computers put a person in a position where the neck is often strained and unsupported for long periods of time. Aside from the position, people aged over 30 years are also 2.61 times more likely to suffer neck pain than younger professionals. Even more surprisingly, ergonomically-correct workspaces reduce the occurrence of neck pain a bit but correct ergonomics do not affect the outcome. Even if there a... read more]]> on 3/11/2013 BodyBuilderP on 3/11/2013 (0 comments)

Go to any gym anywhere and there is always a bunch of guys hanging around the weight machines, looking like a bunch of upside-down triangles. You know the look - huge pumped up, over worked chests and shoulders and tiny underworked legs and backs.

What these guys don’t realize is they have a serious shoulder injury in the making. A lack of balance, especially through the shoulders, is an extremely common cause of shoulder and training related injury. Repetitive work outs, such as those focused on bench presses, shoulder presses, pull up, etc, only target improving the appearance of muscles rather than building strength through the whole body. This kind of training routine is dangerous and can lead to strain.

A Balanced and Unbalanced Workout
A balanced workout routine works a range of muscle areas and uses different styles of exercise is far more beneficial for preventing shoulder injury and a range of repetitive strain injuries. A balanced workout wil... read more]]> on 3/11/2013 ctaylorVL on 1/21/2013 (0 comments)

Do you want stronger nails and shiny, healthy hair? Do you want your skin to look fresh and to glow, even on those cold winter days? If you do, then you need to add more protein to your diet.

With such a hectic lifestyle it's easy to forget to eat right. Sometimes, after a long day at work, you don't have time to go home to cook a meal - so you might indulge in take-out food or a ready-meal instead. If you are guilty of this, then you are denying your body of the vital nutrients it needs.

Having a high-protein diet is important. From hair to finger nails, protein is a major functional and structural component for your cells. Protein provides the body with approximately 15 per cent of its dietary energy; plus, it's vital for muscle growth and repair.

What are proteins?

Proteins are large molecules made up of long chains of amino acid. Amino acids are chemical compounds containing carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen, which together fo... read more]]> on 1/21/2013 kwaggkat on 1/3/2013 (1 comments)

I got the book Warrior Diet from my son for christmas..  I have been reading it, but am not able to find the answer to my question about flexibility..   I work long days often not getting home until 8 to 9 pm..  I relax usually by watching a half hour show, maybe having a quick snack before going to bed.  I dont like to eat much before bed or I get reflux during the night..  I worry about the big meal. the book says to stop eating about 2 hours before bed.. (I get up at 5-530am) so my problem is how to modify this diet to work for me.   if I were to eat a big meal during the day (lunch hour) I would most likely want to go to sleep and not be able to finish my afternoon...  I also commute a distance - so at times thisis my unwind/change gears time, but would certianly not be a good time to eat...    any suggestions?... read more]]> on 1/3/2013 brandie on 12/18/2012 (0 comments)

Drop the Excuses to Drop the Pounds!
Dispelling the “Should’ve, Could’ve, Would’ve”
By Julio A. Salado.,NSCA-CPT.,USAW Coach

My article was written so you won’t be one of the thousands of post New Year Resolutionists who say “I should’ve gone to the gym on my day off “BUT”, I could’ve ordered a medium instead of the SUPER size “BUT”, I would’ve kept my weight loss resolutions “BUT”… If you are still reading this article, then you can identify with this thought process and the snowball effect which leads to another resolution shelved til the next year.

The goal of my essay is to bring awareness to the fact that fulfilling your fitness goals is 110% achievable. Living a healthy lifestyle begins with behavior modifications and with time and discipline you can reap the side benefits e.g. weight loss, increased energy, better self esteem.

It is more common for people to give up on their fitness goals due to mental road blocks than physical ... read more]]> on 12/6/2012 BodyBuilderP on 11/12/2012 (0 comments)

I'm going to dive into the history of Anabolic Steroids - Yesterday and Today


Quick Overview
Anabolic Steroids are hormonal compounds derived from the male growth hormone, testosterone, that encourage the growth of lean muscle. Scientists have discovered more than 100 anabolic steroids, but only a small number of these are available for authorized use in animals and humans.

The steroids that are regulated for use are only available through prescription. However, a lively black market exists for these drugs which are either stolen from pharmacies or made in underground laboratories. Illicit use of steroids generates illegal profits of about $400 million annually.

People are motivated to use steroids for athletic events, or to gain youthful vigor and lose weight. A small percentage of high school students also indulge in steroid use.

History of Anabolics

The fascinating story of anabolic steroids started in t... read more]]> on 11/12/2012 KarmaCreates on 11/1/2012 (0 comments)

Ok so today I have decided it is time to lose that unwanted weight. When I was younger I was tiny (98 lbs) but once I received the Depo shot (birth control) I gained a lot of weight not to mention I still got pregnant on the shot. When I gave birth to my daughter 17 years ago I weighed 500 lbs. My 2 pregnacies before that I only gained 25 lbs which was suprising to me and my doctor because most of that weight were my 2 older boys. Not to mention all my children (4) were c-sections and my 2 older boys were 11 1/2 months apart.

Yes I have lost a lot of weight from 17 years ago but it was not easy and it was not a healthy way to lose those pounds. So now I want to lose the left over weight (no I don't want to go back to my 98 lbs) and I want to do it in a healthy way. I am willing to work my butt off to obtain my long term goal.

My kids and hubby tell me I am not over weight (I call myself fat all the time) and that they love me for me. However, I hate to l... read more]]> on 11/1/2012 Cherie on 10/27/2012 (0 comments)
