Summer Around The Corner – You Can Look Good On The Beach!

Yes, it’s that time of year again: Summer is just around the corner and your already thinking about those summer out-fits and of course the Beach.

 

It can be really tempting to start making a LONG LIST of things that you would like to change about your body…

And I don’t know about you, but in the past when I have created a long list of to-do’s I thought I needed to take…many of those new “to do’s” didn’t get “to-done.”

Well, I have an exciting solution to share with you…

I am excited to introduce you to Samba Dance Teacher, Theresa Stevens.

Theresa is an expert in “losing weight by dancing,” who lives by the philosophy that a woman’s “pleasure center” is in her hips.

She teaches how to use “the delicious art of shaking your hips and booty” to tap into the natural wellspring of creativity, pleasure, sensuality and power, innately within your female body.

Once that tap is turned on, says Theresa, you are reminded you that ANYTHING is possible, including slimming down in a pleasurable, sustainable way.

I’d love for you to be impacted by Theresa’s inspirational teachings, and I want to introduce you to her inspirationaland educational video sharing her top 3 secrets on how pleasure and happiness can help you dance with confidence and joy, love your body, and lose weight in the process.

Theresa’s been getting the feedback from her community that watching this free 23 minute video alone has caused them to feel more beautiful, sexy and alive, and I believe her.

I was riveted when I saw this videoand you will be too.

Exercise Myths

By Karen Sessions NSCA-CPT
aka: MsFit

Everywhere you look you will find exercise information. It can come in fitness magazines, the beauty salon, your co-workers, the Internet, and infomercials.

You will see snappy headlines such as, “Lose 10 Pounds in a Week with No Exercise at All!”, and “Melt Pounds without Dieting.” These marketing ploys don't end. They will use any tactic to get you to buy their product.

Along with the vast amount of exercise information coming to us at every conceivable angle, there are many myths leaving the consumer thoroughly confused. In this article I will be discussing several exercise myths, giving you the facts and dispelling the fiction.

Exericse Myth #1: Exercising with weights will bulk you up.Fact: - Excess calories from protein, carbohydrates, and fat will bulk you up, not resistance training. Fat is bulky and inactive while muscle an active, lean and dense tissue. The more muscle you acquire, the more fat you will burn at rest and during activity.

Exercise Myth #2: Muscle weighs more than fat.Fact: - A pound of muscle and a pound of fat weigh the same, a pound. As previously stated, muscle is more dense, and takes up less space than fat. Adding muscle to your physique will create curves and make you appear smaller in the absence of excess fat.

Exercise Myth #3: If I stop weight training, my muscle will turn to fat.Fact: - Muscle cannot turn into fat any more than fat can turn into muscle. The two are not interchangeable. They are two completely different tissues. You can increase or decrease fat and muscle, but the two cannot change into the other, ever!

Don't You Deserve the Body You Want?

Exercise Myth #4: Crunches will make my abs visible.Fact: - Crunches will build the abdominal muscle, but your abs won't shine through until you remove the layer of fat covering them. When it comes to "ripped" abs, they are built with balanced nutrition, coupled with proper exercise.



Exercise Myth #5: Weighted crunches will make my midsection thick.Fact: - The abdominal muscle is a thin layer of muscle tissue, and not able to grow much in size like other body parts. Therefore, adding resistance to your abdominal training will just increase your midsection strength. It is the side bends and twists that can contribute to a thick waist.

Exercise Myth #6: Exercise burns fat.Fact: - Exercise burns calories, and eating correctly with added exercise can aid in fat burning. Weight loss is not a one-shot approach. There are many angles, and you have to tackle each of them in small to moderate amounts. Knowing the right food combinations can give you the advantage on fat burning.

Exercise Myth #7 : Exercising with light weights and a lot of reps will get me defined.Fact: Training with light weights will build muscle endurance. If your goal is to get defined, you should also incorporate a healthy diet balanced in macronutrients and add some cardiovascular exercise.

Exercise Myth #8: I just want to tone up, not build muscle.Fact: When you weight train you build muscle. There is no “toning” about it. As a woman, you have the ability to control the amount of muscle you add to your frame to a certain extent. Hormonally, women will not build a large degree of muscle mass. However, you can add more muscle size by increasing your protein intake and overall calories. For a woman to add a lot of muscle, it takes a lot of hard work and dedication, and sometimes steroids.

Conclusion to Exercise MythsNow that we have dispelled exercise fact from fiction, you are better equipped to get in the shape you desire. Always strive for excellence and keep a positive attitude.

Everyone wants a flat stomach and conditioned abdominal muscles. To accomplish this fitness level, and the desired look it will require some effort on your part. You will need to adhere to a routine of dedicated, and regular abdominal workouts. As well, you will need to make some lifestyle changes in other areas. Below is some information and tips which you may find helpful in your quest to form tight abs.

First, it is important to know which exercises improve the condition of abdominal muscles. Certain exercises work certain areas of the body. To achieve firm, flat abs you need to focus on core exercises, which will give all your abdominal muscles a workout. Core exercises work all the muscle groups among the shoulders and pelvic area. You may be wondering why you would include these other muscle groups in your abdominal workouts. The answer is easy in theory. These muscle groups work together as a well-conditioned machine, keeping your stomach muscles strong, healthy, and firm. Here are some core exercises that will help to tone your midsection:

 


1. Traditional floor or swiss ball crunches are a good example of an upper core exercise with an abdominal workout. These will help to firm upper abdominal m and aid in ridding the midsection of unwanted belly fat. crunches lie down on an exercise mat or on a swiss ball. should be positioned flat on your back. Bend your knees so that the bottoms of your feet are resting comfortably on the mat.

2. Bicycling is another wonderful abdominal exercise. This can be done simply by riding an actual bicycle around the park or riding a stationary bike at the gym. If you do not have access to either of these options, you can do bicycle exercise, which mimics actually riding a bike. Lay down on the floor. Next, raise your leg's up in the air and bend them at the knee. Now you're ready to ride the bike! Just start moving your legs in the same motion you would if you were riding an actual bicycle.

 
3. The pelvic tilt is a good core exercise for beginners and pros alike. Lay flat on the floor. Keep your arms at your sides. Bend your knees, keeping the soles of your feet flat on the floor. The heels of your feet should be about placed about six inches from your buttocks. Now your ready to move! Contract the lower portion of your abdominal muscles. As you contract the abdominal muscles firmly, yet slowly press your back to the floors surface.
 
Hold this position, keeping you're back pressed to the floor and your abdominal muscles contracted for about ten seconds, then release. Repeat these steps several times. This may sound easy, yet it will really give your abs a good workout.

The above are just a couple of examples of the many exercises which you can include in your abdominal workouts. Visit a local gym and ask to speak to a trainer. A good trainer can help to cultivate an exercise routine which is tailored to your individual exercise needs. He or she can help you to assess your overall fitness level, determine your goals, and show you a way to archive success.


Furthermore, keep in mind, that diet and nutrition play a huge part in losing belly fat and gaining a flat stomach. Pay attention to your food choices and avoid those which are high in fats and calories. As well, you will want to leave starches off the menu. Two of the worst food enemies for belly fats are potatoes and bread.

They may taste well, but they are sure pack on the pounds and take away from the firm, tight abs you so desperately want. The combination of good diet habits and regular exercise will have your abs firm in not time flat!
