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.

Pushups: perfect exercise

Perhaps one of the most popular and favorite exercises from Athletes around the world are pushups. One reason for this is that they are easy and convenient exercise, which does not require any special equipment or training.
Many people believe that push-ups are an exercise only for the upper body. This, of course, is not true - pushups involved simultaneously different muscle groups. Indeed, the main muscles involved in this exercise are the chest and triceps, but perfect performance, it is necessary to tighten all your muscles - from shoulders to toes. Therefore pushups tighten both buttocks, abs, arms, legs and hips.

Although there are different types of push-ups, the basic principle remains the same - the body weight should not fall only on the hands, not the buttocks, abdomen or legs. Breasts should not touch the floor. They should be within 5-7 inches of the ground.
 Advice for beginners:

  •   If your classic pushups seem difficult, you can perform the same exercise, but the knees. This will reduce the burden they have to lift it halfway.
  •  If you want to tone it down the stress on your wrists, do push-ups with clenched in fists. This burden will fall on the hands and wrists fists will not be loaded. When you run this kind of push-ups, calling into his hands soft mat. 
  • To work different muscle groups when doing push-ups, change the position of the hands and the distance between them.
  • Do push-ups against a mirror or ask your gym instructor to monitor your progress. This will make sure that you follow the exercise correctly.
  • Keep your body upright. Do not move your waist, knees or hips.
  • If you want to tone and tighten your muscles without building your mass do pushups on their knees with more repetitions.
  • If you want to gain muscle mass in the arms and back, do a few pushups classic where the fulcrum is feet, not knees.

Why 99% of diets fail

There is no doubt that 99% of all diets fail because you can not realistically meet the expectations and stick to your chosen diet.
 For example ...
You will lose a lot of weight very quickly with ten day cleansing diet. This diet will work only if 10 days drinking only lemon juice and water. But it may not be realistic, there is no way one person can spend so much time just liquid without food. Even if you manage to somehow download the desired weight for this time, you can safely expect them back after you finish the diet. These diets work in the short term only, they are not durable.

And ultimately fail. There is no such thing as "the best diet" and do not listen to all those ads that say "This diet is - better than the other" or ...
"You have to do this diet because everyone else is weak with it," and not to mention statements like "You can do this diet because Angelina Jolie comply with them and it is so weak."

  Best diet plan for you ...
The diet, which did not even feel that you are on a diet. Such a diet you can follow without long enough to seem ... burden.

 For example ... Many people have used high-protein diets like the Atkins diet to lose weight and maintain your new shape permanently, but if you're the type of person who craves carbs, then you can realistically expect to have in strict compliance with its long time. That's why 99% of all diets fail. Therefore your diet should be consistent with yourself, you should make sure that it will follow to the end and you can tolerate.
 Remember:
* There is no diet that has ever worked for everyone equally.
* The only diet that ever works at all alike - result is one in which everyone feels that there is no one diet is not deprived of anything. And such a diet can you prepare professionals dietitians who will take into account your tastes, habits and lifestyles.

The more - run faster, the better - your heart work harder and more - becomes strong.

In a study conducted by the National Cancer Institute of the United States, women of normal weight who reported the highest levels of "vigorous activity" (running, tennis, aerobics) had about 30% lower risk of breast cancer Compared with women who did not vigorous activity.
Runners also have - good chance against cardio - vascular disease, stroke and diabetes. Has been shown to lower blood pressure, increase good cholesterol and boost immunity to colds and other viruses, and running in particular is a very important factor.

Over the years, runners have much - less health problems than non runners. Moreover, at the end of the study 85% of the runners were still alive to date, while only 66 percent of the dead are not running. Based on information gathered during these 21 years, the researchers concluded that regular physical activity can reduce mortality only by increasing physical activity.

Dark Chocolate

Chocolate - the universal language of friendship and love!

Dark chocolate (also called natural or dark chocolate) contains cocoa mass, sugar, cocoa butter, vanilla and lecithin (emulsifier).

Cocoa mass in dark chocolate available commercially ranging from 30% (sweet dark chocolate) to 70-80% and the content of milk is up 12%.
European rules specify a minimum content of cocoa mass in dark chocolate is 35%. In the U.S., there is no definition for dark chocolate, but only definition of "sweet chocolate", which means that the minimum concentration of cocoa mix should be 15%. Sweet chocolate does not have to be dark, and do not necessarily contain milk. 
Dark chocolate is rich in flavonoids and gallic acid. They protect the body from cardiovascular diseases. Therefore, claims that regular consumption of dark chocolate in small amounts can reduce the risk of heart attack and other heart diseases.

TYPES:

  • SWEET CHOCOLATE  
Semi-sweet chocolate has a cocoa mass more than 15% and  milk content under 12%.
  •  SEMI-SWEET CHOCOLATE
Semi-sweet chocolate is dark chocolate with low sugar content. Often used in cooking. It contains at least 35% cocoa mass and generally perceived as darker than sweet dark chocolate and sweeter than bittersweet chocolate. However, the lack of rules on the sugar content means that these classifications are still relative.
  •  Bittersweet chocolate
Bittersweet chocolate is composed of at least 35% cocoa (cocoa mass and cocoa butter) 1/3 sugar, vanilla and sometimes lecithin. In most cases, this type of chocolate cocoa mass content ranges from 50 to 70-80%. The flavor is deeper and more bitter than the sweet dark or semi-sweet chocolate. However, the sugar content is not strictly regulated.
Bittersweet chocolate contains less sugar and more cocoa liquor semi-sweet chocolate, but the two are completely interchangeable when used for cooking purposes.

  •  Unsweetened Chocolate
Unsweetened chocolate is pure cocoa mass and is known as "bitter chocolate" or "chocolate for baking." Is mixed with fat to obtain a solid substance.

It is unadulterated chocolate with a strong and deep flavor. With the addition of sugar, however, unsweetened chocolate is used as the basis for the preparation of cakes, biscuits and other types of chocolate (except white).
