Should I do a cardio workout every day and muscle workout every other day?
by on Mar.11, 2010, under Uncategorized

I want to lose weight and build some muscle (main goal is to lose weight). My workout consists of doing at least 30 minutes on the bike (climbing hills mostly) or a mix of biking and climbing stairs. Then I like to do some muscle workouts for my stomach & abs and my arms as well. Oh and I do rest on Sundays. I haven’t been working out for the last 2 months from an injury and want to get back on the right track.

Why Your Muscle Building Diet Should Include the Correct Types of Carbohydrate
by on Mar.07, 2010, under Uncategorized
Question —
Let me explain.
Carbohydrates = Sugar = Glucose = Fuel for your muscles
When carbs are consumed, they will be broken down by the body into glucose, which is then released into the bloodstream and transported to the various muscle groups. Although the end result of all carbohydrate consumption is the same, how they get to that end result directly affects how much they will help with fat burning
Carbohydrates are broken down into sugars at different speeds. Some are broken down slowly and gradually released, others increase blood sugar levels quite rapidly. For efficient fat burning and high energy levels, we need to keep blood sugar levels well balanced. Balancing your carb intake is probably the most difficult element of your muscle building diet.
Insulin is the body`s natural hormone for controlling the amount of sugar in the blood. Some carbohydrates are broken down quickly, this results in the body releasing lots of insulin to compensate. The sugar is removed from the bloodstream by the insulin very quickly, which leaves the blood with lower sugar levels than normal. This can lead to fatigue and feelings of hunger – be careful not to binge eat – added to this, high levels of insulin inhibit the body`s ability to burn fat.
In summary, we can see that consuming carbs is an important part of any muscle building diet. However, we need to concentrate on types of foods which are broken down and released into the bloodstream very slowly, which will help your body become a fat burning machine!
Keep it natural.
Should i stick to my muscle building diet 7 days a week?
by on Mar.06, 2010, under Uncategorized
I have just started a strict, high protein muscle building diet this week, however i was wondering if i should continue to eat the same amount on the 3 days that I don’t go to the gym? It almost seems as if i should consume less on these rest days, or maybe just eliminate a protein shake???
Any suggestions are appreciated!!! Thanks!
Muscle Building Routines – What You Should Do to Build Muscle Daily
by on Mar.05, 2010, under Uncategorized
These days, more and more people are inclined to build their muscles, thanks to the constant promotion by the media of the importance of fitness and health. However, building one’s muscles isn’t as easy as it looks on those countless product infomercials that sell equipment, supplements, and other components of the muscle building industry. In fact, building one’s muscles does not happen overnight, no matter what such products claim. It takes a certain amount of time before one’s muscles become built, toned, and clearly noticeable. If you want to know the different muscle building routines you need to do in order to get the muscles you desire, then do read on.
One of the most common mistakes that people who want to build their muscles make is imitating what they see on Pro Bodybuilders. The truth is that most of the participants there do not train naturally and are simply genetically gifted. Following their muscle building routines won’t make you achieve the same results for yourself and, worse, may even lead you to suffer from injuries. What you need is an entirely different approach, one that can help you build your muscles not necessarily fast but effectively. Your approach must also prevent both physical and mental overtraining; doing too much too soon can bring disastrous consequences, such as the ripping or tearing of the muscle tissues, straining of the ligaments, dislocation of the joints, and even the breaking of the bones.
So, how exactly do you go about your muscle building training? The first thing you should include in your muscle building routines is exercises for gaining strength. More strength is tantamount to more muscle, so strength training is essential. Weight lifting is highly recommended because it allows you to start off light and, overtime, add weight as desired. Start with an empty bar and research on the proper techniques. With every workout session, add weight to push your body out of its comfort zone. Of course, perform calisthenics to complement your regimen. Push-ups, pull-ups, crunches, reverse crunches, pistols, and dips are perfect for reaching your goal. Don’t forget to adjust your techniques when things become easy.
Muscle building routines can never be complete without free weights. Free weights are preferred by fitness experts over machines because they are safe, efficient, and functional. Machines tend to force you into unnatural patterns that are prone to injuries, whereas free weights promote natural motions. Machines balance the weight, whereas free weights allow you to control and balance the weight on your own. Finally, reliable machines are highly expensive, whereas the best free weights cost cheap. Barbells are great for lifting the heaviest weights. More weight gives off more stress, which then produces more muscle. Dumbbells, on the other hand, are great for assistance exercises, but they should never be relied on for the main lifts.
These simple yet tried and tested tips can help you build your muscles the right way with regular and proper performance. For more muscle building routines, visit the nearest gym and consult a health expert or search the Internet for advice from real new muscle builders like you.
