10 excuses that will fail your diet

1. The time now is 16:00 and I'm tired something sweet will give me strength toearn the rest of the day.
Even if you get power, it will be because your blood sugar has risen considerably,which means that a little later in the day there will be a sharp decline, which will lead to a state in which you are more tired and irritable than right now.

However, few almonds (or other healthy planned food) will help you feel more focused and strong until the end of the day.


2. I was so nice, and diligent lately. Should be rewarded.

Actually, if you eat something that is not included in your diet, it does not have aprize. This will only away from the target, and no doubt you will feel depressed,weak and out of control. You need to show character and to say "NO".

3. Just once will not hurt me.
You can run X miles to burn 100 calories. Treat desired X00 contains calories, which means that you run X miles in more than already planned cardio to move according to plan. Moreover, if once break regime and then easily do it again and again ...


4. I'm super tired! I can not cook tonight, so I will pass through the nearby lunchroom.

You may be tired, but it is better to think of a simple way to eat. In some fast food has more calories than your food for the day! You can grab a salad from the supermarket or buy a ready chicken breasts.

5. But there's nothing else to eat and I'm hungry.

Less hunger will not kill you! It is better to be uncomfortable for a while and wait until you can get something to eat healthy than to throw on a hamburger or pizza.


6. I just got the best news! I think you need to relax and celebrate them!

Consider that if you eat something bad, it will not make you happy of this achievement. In fact, junk food will prevent the achievement of another important goal, you work for beautiful and healthy body.

This is just another case where emotion makes you do things that are not acceptable. Can fully enjoy good news and no junk food. At a later stage will really have something to celebrate, because it will have achieved its goal in the gym!

7. I paid for this meal and do not want to lose my money.

How much money do you really lose if you throw away the junk food? Not many. I'll ruin you losing those few euro? Of course not. Moreover, time is money, and you will need more time to burn excess fat ingested.


8. I hate to waste food.

Waste would be to eat harmful food that does not make sense and will only harm your diet ... Better give it to someone homeless or hungry child!

9. All other feed on such things.

You are committed to a healthy lifestyle and the rest do not matter. Furthermore, people who eat junk food and are not overweight, were again exposed to very serious health problems.

10. Is free

Everyone enjoys the free benefits, but in this case, better for you, you enter the food you plan your day? No. Eating free food now will save you any money later. All of which will contribute, is to move away from your destination.

To spend 25% more calories than other exercises (swimming for 60 minutes in a moderate pace to burn 475 calories, while fast swimming - 660 kcal).
  • Water exercise - As a result of water resistance, the load of the muscles is stronger and change the place of training (from shallow to deep and back) is amended and intensity of exercises: guided walking or running intervals in the shallow, squat in the water, jumping in the waves, etc.
  • Kitesurfing - extreme water sport that is practiced with kite surfing or kite boarding. Uses a board with or without bindings, combined with the power of a large controllable kite (wing), which is drawn through the water. Beginners necessarily take professional lessons in kite surfing schools.

Running is the best cardio

Running requires very little equipment, can be done almost anywhere and burns more calories than most other cardio exercises. Moreover performed outdoors is fun and brings great satisfaction.
     This article is intended for novice runners and it will look exactly on them. As we running requires little equipment, but it is better to wear underwear and clothes from a fabric that absorbs sweat faster and allows easy? Evaporation to feel comfortable and comfortable during your workout. Running shoes with thick soles and ankle stabilizer is also a good idea (there is another belief on this issue, but it'll look a little later).
And for women with larger bust sports bra by lastachna and robust fabric is the most appropriate choice.


 It is imperative that before running to warm up your muscles, joints and tendons to avoid unpleasant injuries. The technique of running continuously lead to disputes, but it is different and each person is different. The view that the landing on the toes or the area between the toes and the foot is the most correct, as thus spared from the heel bone in the shin to the knee. A small group of people also consider running a finger calf strain too much and also lead to injuries. It seems clear that the answer to this question is not as even professional athletes get injured and if their technique is really right that should not be happening. That's why choosing how to land during the running stay at you.

 However, the occurrence of pain and injuries has as medications and supplements that help faster recovery. Of course we recommend taking the above mentioned precautions to minimize this risk. During running breath slowly through the steps and exhale faster. Your hands should move freely in the elbows bent with narrow fingers, but relaxed, not tight. The pace with which to run should not be neither too high nor too low. You alone must find the objectives to endure as long as possible. Do not worry if it does not last a long time on his own pace.
If you get tired quickly in the beginning this is completely normal. Just keep walking energetically, and then pulse and breathing begin running. If you feel pain in the spleen, you have a lack of oxygen in the internal organs.








 Running with bare feet. Even if it sounds ridiculous, there are people who practice it.


 This is the most natural way of running and a number of arguments defending their theory: When we run barefoot, instinctive properly land area between the toes and the foot, not the ankle, the shoes provide "support" does not allow the legs to hardened and strengthening alone, shoes even expensive and slight, add more weight to the legs and slow them down.

 After running you should do stretching again. Restoration of normal breathing becomes much faster if you raise your arms above your head. Running combines very well with swimming or lifting free weights. It is good to take some restorative products such as glutamine or a complex of free essential amino acids to avoid catabolic processes after heavy load.

How to burn more calories ?

If there is not enough time for intense workouts, try to burn calories performing their daily duties. So see you've gotten rid of a few extra pounds without even knowing.

 Use the stairs. Whether working in the building in which you live or anywhere on the go, do not miss the opportunity to "practice on" them. There are ways to diversify up and down stairs. You can take 2-3 at once to jump from step to step with your feet together or to move diagonally.
 Set your alarm 10 minutes earlier standing. Awakening with a short series of exercises accelerates blood circulation, warm the muscles and energizes the entire day. Make at least 3 different exercises with 15-20 repetitions with no rest in between. Only then deal with breakfast. A similar start to the day is much better than a hot dinner already accumulated calories during the day.
 Choose the longest possible route. Wherever you go, never abbreviate distance. I just suggest that there is no shortcut. If you can not or do not want to give up travel by car, park at the end of the car park or as far away from where you are going.
 Sleep naked at night. When the body is cold, burning more calories to keep warm. If you treat more responsible for burning calories, keep the air conditioner turned on to "create more trouble." Even if you do not feel comfortable in the cold effect is proven and worth subjecting at least "temporary cooling."
 How are you conducting your cardio? In this case, the most useful to you well dressed. Strange but true! Sleeping naked and doing cardio exercises more clothes have the same positive effect in terms of burning calories. A sweating during vigorous physical activity also requires more effort for the body to regain normal temperature. A way to burn calories.
 Do you like to watch TV shows? At first glance, it looks and sounds lazy, but not necessarily so. Do not forget that these programs have several ad units that can easily use a few squats, jump or 2-3 stretching exercises. The result is a funny paradox "burning calories watching TV."
 Buy a pedometer. This is a device that is placed around the waist or wrist clocks driven away. So you can keep track of how many steps you do per day in normal times and during physical activity. Knowing how many steps traveled, you can focus on increasing them. Turn it into the game and try to improve each day's record.
 Quicken up your pace. I mean, if you normally traveled a distance of 15 minutes, shorten them to 10. You can also rotate slowly 5 minutes walking 1 minute faster. This speeds up the heart rate and leads to increased calorie burning. 
 Chew the gum. It may seem crazy, but every prechewing, 1 calorie forests. Not much, but it counts. 
 Well, as you can see, there are many creative ways to exit from the routine of everyday life. They will help you maintain good form. Have fun !

Cardio Workouts for Weight Loss

Many people understand that weight loss is not easy and ready along with diet run, ride an exercise bike, rowing machine to use. It's all cardio work and really using this kind of weight classes can be reduced significantly, but need to prevent some mistakes to avoid efforts go in vain and the man to despair, although they did not achieve their goal.
Even pros argue about the methodology of cardio workouts, each protected by sufficient facts his theory. In this paper we will point out some errors that experts agreed:

 1. Prolonged low-intensity workout
Until your heart rate reaches 60-80% of the maximum, you will train with minimal effectiveness. One of the most effective cardio is interval training.
Example: 1 minute maximum acceleration 2 minutes moving at a moderate pace. This allows you to increase your metabolism and burn calories hours after your workout.

 2. Incorrect load when using cardio trainer
Note that modern devices can determine the exact load for you if you ask their age, height and weight. Weight should be measured in the morning before you eat breakfast.
 

 3. Quick hoping to burn more fat
If your goal is to burn fat, keep in mind that this process will begin 15-20 minutes after your workout.
If you want to speed up this process, you can do the following: first 2 minutes warming - small intensity, then 10 minutes - medium intensity, again two minutes - less load, followed by 5 minutes at maximum intensity, then 5 minutes per load, and finally 2 minutes low intensity. Total - 26 minutes.
You may see a complicated but is convened.
In this case, you can define what it means for you as maximum intensity - decide on what unit will do cardio and running at maximum pace, 5 minutes. For every person it's different. For yourself it will be variable to your own fitness levels over time.

 4. Adoption of carbohydrates before exercise or carbohydrate supplements on.
A big mistake! The body will use the accepted energy and you will wonder why you are not losing. 

 5. Workout empty stomach
Does not need to bother? Many people think that you will burn more fat.
Dietitians of sports clinic in the town of Riverside (California, USA) are adamant that it is not worth going to the trouble - not enough to eat 45-60 minutes before training. This is related to the fact that the carbohydrates they need 1 hour to be absorbed.

 6. The more you sweat, the more calories you burn
Do not be fooled! Just your body hydrated.
Forget wrapped with nylon, putting on several layers of warm, etc. Let your body breathe freely, and if executed correctly workouts to 4-5 times a week will not be late.

Cardio workout in the gym

No chance for a well-muscled with a high percentage of body fat. So do not neglect cardio at the expense of power exercises. Combine them for a successful outcome. 
If you insist on training hard in the gym, not to engage in other aerobic activities, giving due attention to a treadmill, bike, cross trainer or stepper. In addition, to reduce the percentage of body fat, cardio exercise improves circulation and normalizes heart function. Reduce stress and tone up.
To burn fat if you're in bad shape, start with low-intensity, long cardio workouts, slowly walking on a treadmill. If you are in good shape to bet a high intensity cardio - running down the aisle, fast pedaling a stationary bike or cross trainer with a high degree of load. Cardio workout should be done 3 to 5 times a week, 20 to 40 minutes. For beginners, 20 minutes, three times a week are sufficient. In case of insufficient duration cardio is not effective, and in excess would lose muscle mass.
For bigger people are advised to do cardio 3 to 5 times a week, in order of 30-35-40 minutes slow motion. You can use the slope of the path to get into the part and buttocks. And for those who just want to stir, offers three sessions a week, with moderate to fast pace.
Morning glucose content in the blood and muscle glycogen is low, and the body temperature and heart rate are reduced. This is the best time for cardio workout as hard to burn fat and speed up metabolism. 
Before cardio take only foods rich in protein and amino acids, and avoid the consumption of fats and carbohydrates.
Before you start cardio, start with a warm up 3-5 minutes. And in the end gradually reduce the pace to normalize pulse.
And remember: Persistence is the key to good shape and attractive look!

MMA workout warm-up

ММА (mix martial arts) fighters are always well ahead of the training material. They seek to include in their programs not only proven strength training, but also innovative methods. We suggest you check the following eight minute workout that combines exceptional intensity and complexity of maximum warming of all muscle groups.

1.  Squats to slip under low fixed rope - movements of this exercise mainly loaded legs and waist. They run continuously for one minute, by which time, if you follow a regular rhythm you should be able to do 35 to 40 repetitions.
2. After squats and rest before the next exercise, a series of air strikes combined (fighting shadow), aimed at warming the hands. The duration of this break is 30 seconds.
3. Push-ups with feet placed in hanging ropes - each leg winds through the handles hanging low ropes, hands placed on the floor. This situation makes a push up followed by twisting and lateral bending of the knees to the right. Second push up, does is followed by folding the left leg. This alternation is maintained until the end of the execution of the exercise. Here again the length is one minute, and the optimal number of reps - 15-18
4. For the rest, it is implemented 30-second series of complex strokes with hands in the air (combat shadow), and here I can turn on and kick.
5. Spend each of his hands in elastic handles and start hitting on the punching bag, which should preferably be placed on the floor in a supine position to achieve maximal back muscle tension. Duration of exercise - one minutes.
6. Rest - 30 seconds in the air strikes (fighting shadow)
7. Lie on your back on the floor and hold one dumbbell in each hand. Start lifting and twisting pelvis sideways while exporting arms with weights overhead. You also need to have every alternation twisting pelvis right then - left. Duration of exercise - one minute, the optimal number of reps - 20-25.
8. Rest - 30 seconds in the air strikes and kicks (fighting shadow), they can be rotated and squats.
9. From standing, hold one dumbbell with both hands, lift it at ear level and begin to rotate around the axis of the head. The movement is circular and is made for 30 seconds from left to right and then changing direction - from right to left. Total - one minute and 20 to 25 repetitions. 

This is the whole workout.
