The Best Time to Workout is?

When is the best time to workout?

   If you are looking for an answer like, early morning or mid afternoon or in the evening after work, unfortunately you will not find that answer anywhere. There is no correct answer or scientifically proven answer for this. If anyone tells you that this is the best time to workout, they are wrong.

Now, the best time to workout is when your body will workout and make the workout count. This is when your body can do the most and the worst time. So if getting up in the morning and taking a jog or weight-lifting is your thing then that is your best time.

Remember, when working out have a couple of things in mind and ask yourself:
  1. Was I successful in my mission today? (fat loss, bulking, toning)
  2. Did I workout to my full potential? (could you have done more)
  3. Did I make my workout count?
Most important thing is do not do a rush workout, they never work and they never count. Quality is the key to a Perfect workout and time plays in a major role in that Quality. It does not matter how many push-ups you done in 30 seconds, it does matter how many push-ups you did correctly in 30 secs; major difference here.

You will see faster results in quality and taking your time in working out then just doing it.

Hope this help, leave me some feedback Love to here from you.

Solution:(Please Always consult your physician before engaging in physical activity.)
  • First you need to know, 3500 calories EQUAL 1 pound. To lose a weight, you must maintain about 1,000 to 1,200 calories per day.
  • Start by decreasing your calories intake. This includes food and beverages.
  • Increase your physical activity such as:
    • Walking (you can also walk in place at home)
    • Take the elevator 1 flight before your floor and then take the stairs. Once you get that going, start decreasing your elevator stops and take more stairs.
    • Jog
    • Jumping Jacks
  • Through out the day, distribute Carbohydrate, protein and fat on each meal.
  • Saturated fat - decrease this about 10%.
  • Alchohol consumption - decrease it.
  • Start taking in more whole grains and fiber rich fruits and vegetables (this does help in hunger control).
  • Should really start eating a minimum of 4 to 6 meals a day but in portions. 
  • Drink plenty of water through out the day (9-13 cups, know your limits too much water can cause food poisoning).
  • Take your weight every week.

How to start to lose weight and become healthy

Hi everyone:
     If you have not already, please visit my site Fitness Buddy Finder and place yourself down as a fitness buddy or a fitness expert.

How does one start to become healthy and lose weight?

Reality Check:
     It is not easy.
     It will take work.
     It will take time & effort.
    
Steps:
  1. Go to a physician, get a full physical and blood test that would measure your sugar level, cholesterol, blood pressure and everything else.
  2. Make sure you ask your physician the type of exercises you can perform.
  3. After a week of your blood work, your results should be in:
    1. Do you have high Cholesterol?
    2. Do you have high Sugar levels?
    3. Do you have high Blood Pressure?
  4. If any of the above are yes, then it is a clear sign of going on a diet.
  5. Also, with this take a health history test, which contains questions of your family health history.
  6. Now that all of this is out of the way, NOW WHAT? 
NOW WHAT?
  • Go to the kitchen, see what you been eating all this time to be unhealthy with problems.
  • Now this will hurt, throw away all the garbage:
    • Candies
    • Cookies
    • Ice Cream
    • Chips
    • Everything unhealthy and you know what they are.
  • Get a spiral notebook:
    • page 1 - place down you weight, date, BMI (you can calculate it here).
    • page 2 - (the page behind page 1) write down Day 1.
    • Start writing down what you eat and exercises you perform.
      • With Excercises - KNOW YOUR LIMITS.
    • Day 7 - place down weight, date, BMI (do not expect miracles even 1/2 pound is better then none.)
    • Start off slow, 5 minutes a day of any exercise that you can perform and move to 10, 20, 30 etc.
At least this will get you started, Subscribe to my blog, as I will be placing videos up for great excercises, altering your body composition to become healthy and fit.

Fitness Sets Explained

Fitness Sets Explained! - What are Sets, Multi-Sets, Progression Sets, Etc.

Note: Always consult your physician before engaging in physical activity.

Repetitions - this is one complete movement of an excercise. The number of times you perform the excercise in a repitition is your total number of reps.
For example:
     Performing a squat. Feet apart, lowering your body down as you are sitting and raising the body up is equal to 1 rep.

Sets - this is a grouping/total number of repetition you do for one exercise.
          1 exercise that you do for a total number (reps) equals 1 set. 
For example:
Incline Fly - 15, 12 8 <== these are repetitions (total number of times I performed this exercise with minimal rest in between the sets). So my total number of sets for incline fly are 3 sets.

Drop Sets - performing an exercise with heavy weight at first and then decreasing the weight and performing it again with no rest in between, which also means performing a set to failure.
For example:
Incline Flys - 3 sets of 15, 12, 8 reps. My drop set is performed at the last set of the excercise.
For each set i increase my weights and then decrease the weights after i perform 8 reps of an increase weight. So I "DROP" my weights.

Pyramid - Performing sets for one excercise as you increase or decrease the load of each set.
For example:
Flat Bench Press - I start off with 20lbs and do 3 sets of 12, increasing or decreasing a percentage of my load each set.

Super Sets - performing two excercises in one set with minimal rest.
For example:
Incline Fly and immediately after Incline Press. I target 2 different muscles of the same body part, my pecs/chest.

Force Sets - performing a set with minimal rest in between.
For example:
5 reps of 5 sets with 5 secs of rest. No increasing or decreasing of load.

Progression Sets - performing 3 sets of 1 excercise with different reps and no rest in between.
For example:
Bicep curls - start with light weight, increasing the weights as you move to other reps.
     5 pounds dumbbell - 12 reps
     10 pounds dumbbell - 10 reps
     15 pounds dumbbell - 8 reps
No rest in between each set.
Rest after that is complete, then continue and go backwards.
    15 pounds dumbbell - 8 reps
    10 pounds dumbbell - 10 reps
     5 pounds dumbbell - 12 reps
   
Circuit Training - this is a series of exercises performed one after the other with minimal rest in between. This kind of training can change the body composition.
For example:
    30 secs of jump roping
    rest 10 secs
    30 secs of push ups
    rest 10 secs
    30 secs of jumping jacks
    rest 10 secs
    30 secs of leg raises

Split Routine System - Perform different body parts into separate days.
For example:
    Monday - Chest/Tris
    Tuesday - Biceps/Shoulders
    Wednesday - Cardio

Hope this helps on understand fitness terms, always consult your physician or personal trainer or an expert to perform any of these exercises, physical activity, sets or reps.
