exercise (18)

Whether you are struggling to see the results you want at the gym, or are gearing up for a big round of training, keeping a workout journal is one of the most powerful ways out there to insure that you are getting the most of your efforts in the gym.

Here are just some of the ways that a workout journal will help you crush it at the gym this year:

1. Builds a layer of accountability.

For most of us, we work out alone. Without a coach, or a buddy, or any other kind of accountability to keep us honest it can be easy to slag off when it comes to our workouts. Missing a workout here and there, or skipping the occasional exercise that you don’t feel like doing, adds up.

Writing out your workouts, while it might not look like much, reinforces a sense of accountability to your workouts. I’ve lost count of how many times I plodded through a less-than-optimal training session simply because I had to write out the sets in my workout journal.

2. You do the things you set out to do.

Task completion—it’s something you probably haven’t thought about very often, but it is surprisingly important. When you lay out a list of things you are going to do, and then do them, this creates a sense of confidence while building a level of personal integrity. Keeping your word matters, whether it is doing the workout you set out to do or keeping your commitments at work and to your family, and the sense of accomplishment that comes from the task completion of completing your assigned workouts will benefit you across your life.

3. Keeps you focused on your weak spots.

For many of us we have something at the gym that desperately needs work. It could be getting that hip flexor mobility work in. Or doing more core strength work. Or simply squatting more. Whatever it is, a workout journal will help you assess these things, show you how much you are actually working on it, and help you create a plan moving forward so that you give that weak area the attention it needs and deserves.

4. It helps you track progress.

Burn-out is over-rated. What happens you are mentally not into your workouts isn’t burnout, and unless you are an elite athlete, it’s not over-training. It’s a lack of progress. Is there anything more demotivating than not seeing any gains or improvements in the gym. It ends up creating a bottomless void of purpose. Writing out your workouts, the results, and the sets and the reps, helps you target and plan for improvement. Improving in the gym is the ultimate motivator, and you can wield your workout journal to effect this.

5. Scheduling your workouts.

Sounds like a basic thing, but scheduling your workouts, the intensity of your workouts, as well as recovery and rest days will help you be more consistent and productive in the gym over the long term. Having the proper amount of time to recover between sessions is critical—your strength and size gains happen between your workouts, after all. In it’s most basic form a workout journal helps you monitor how often you are working out, how much you are recovering, and when to apply more or less rest.

You’re committed to losing weight and are in the search for the right workout routine. You’ve even enrolled at the gym or decided to start jogging. But is it enough to embark on a new regimen to lose weight? Or should you also be mindful of the time you choose for your workout?

As research proves it, a morning workout might be more effective for torching those calories! The research has been covered by Gretchen Reynolds of New York Times and suggests that working out before having eaten a breakfast can speed weight loss and keep the body primed for burning higher levels of fats all day long.

10824445073?profile=original

A Look At The Research

Belgian researchers conducted a 6 week study on 28 young healthy men in 2010. They divided the men into 3 groups. All men were given a diet with 30% more calories and 50% more fat than their regular diet. Group 1 was assigned no workouts. Group 2 began a balanced workout mid-morning post a hearty breakfast. And Group 3 was put through the same workout early in the morning before breakfast. As can be expected, at the end of 6 weeks, the results looked like this:

  • Group 1 – all the men gained weight, minimum 6 pounds each, and also developed insulin resistance from their unhealthy lifestyle
  • Group 2 – the average weight gain was 3 pounds and quite a few developed insulin resistance despite their mid-day workouts
  • Group 3 – none of the men gained weight and retained healthy insulin levels. Despite a supersized diet, they were also burning more fat all throughout the day.

We demonstrated…that early-morning exercise in the fasted state is more potent than an identical amount of exercise in the fed state for maintaining healthy waistlines,’ Peter Hespel, a professor in the Research Center for Exercise and Health at Catholic University Leuven in Belgium and the study author told the New York Times.

What Does This Mean For You?

As can be inferred from the research report, a strenuous workout alone isn’t enough to lose weight. Yes, Group 3 maintained their weight and healthy insulin levels despite eating far more calories and fat every day. But your goal here is to lose weight.

So, the ideal scenario for people looking to lose weight happens to be —- Make healthy alterations in your diet to cut back on caloric intake and prefer to work out in the mornings before breakfast.

Why this will work? Early morning workout force your body to tap into stored fat reserves for fuel. For those who workout with medical equipment post a meal, muscle glycogen is readily available to be burned for energy during a workout, so the body doesn’t have to burn off the excess stored fat; until and unless your workout is so strenuous and long that all muscle glycogen has been depleted.

This study provided one of the first evidence that an early morning workout in fasting stage is better for weight loss as compared to identical amount of exercise some time later in the day after a meal.

Is There More To It?

Some health experts have also pointed out that healthy lifestyle habits contribute largely towards our health, and hence, towards maintaining a healthier weight. Early morning workouts require an individual to follow a more strict bed time- waking up time schedule. Aligning our internal clocks with the natural world creates healthier circadian rhythms and helps give our metabolism a much needed boost, so we are burning fat throughout the day and not only while exercising. And that is probably also the reason your grandfather was so particular about his early morning walks and never quite enjoyed an evening stroll as much!

So the next time you want to hit the snooze, remember that an early morning workout will not only help you meet your weight loss goals, it could also kick-start the day on the right note to give you a lot more energy and fat burning capabilities throughout the day.

Hi All, 

I'd like to thank Ms. Sonia Bajaj to consent for the interview with the Health and Fitness India network. Our Q&A are as follows:

Photo: Ms. Sonia Bajaj, Fitness and Nutrition Coach, giving award at MISS North India 2013. Facebook photo link

10824440864?profile=original

1. Why did you decide to enter the fitness industry? 

After delivering 2 boys as any other woman tried to cut down on that extra fat on my body. Tried all kinds of yo yo diets, paid a good amount of money to the so called dieticians. Kept on going through the same circle of loosing few kilos on scale, and as soon as quitted the diet, went back to square one.

Finally planned to give up all diets, started exercising and eating a balanced diet, which could be followed life long. I saw such awesome changes in my body, not only in terms of fat loss, but also in terms of strength, stamina, agility, power.

I became a happier soul, more confident. So decided that if can share my experience with all those men and women who are struggling for years to lose fat in a right way, so that it never comes back, would be a great achievement for me.

Hence totally dedicated myself to promoting health and fitness.

2. What are your specialties as a fitness professional? 

I've done my group certification with Reebok.

I've done my Personal Training certification with AMERICAN COUNCIL ON EXERCISE.

I'm certified in Pilates, Kickboxing, and Prenatal and Postnatal workouts.

I've done workshops in TRX AND BOSU workouts.

I'm a certified nutritionist by BFY MUMBAI.

People ask me WHERE ARE THE MACHINES IN YOUR GYM.

3. What's a great piece of advise that you've given to a client?

I see a lot of excellent and certified fitness coaches here in India. But what I have realized is that what we need as per the times is Fitness motivators.

We have to train the brain before training any other muscle group. People give it up very fast, everyone is looking for a short cut.

4. Can you please share any major mistakes that fitness professionals make?

My piece of advice to my clients and every one reading this is that take care of your body.

Just give 30 minutes 5 days a week to yourself.

SEE THE DIFFERENCE IN YOURSELF, FAT LOSS WILL BE THE ICING ON THE CAKE.

5. Where do you see yourself professionally in the next five and ten years from now?

Few year from now I see people following what I try to enforce today;

FAT LOSS IS NOT A ONE DAY, ONE MONTH OR ONE YEAR PROJECT,

It's a LIFESTYLE CHANGE.

"Incentive programs are not wellness programs," said Dr. Ronald Goetzel, Director of Emory University's Institute for Health and Productivity Research and President and CEO of The Health Project. "That can be a component, when done smartly, of a comprehensive program, but if that's all your program is going to be, you're going to fail miserably, and people are going to be resentful," he explained. According to Goetzel -- who has studied worksite wellness programs at large corporations such as Dow Chemical and Johnson & Johnson, and is being funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to study best practices in the field -- incentive programs can help get people excited about health and keep them on track, but ultimately people's habits will only change if they are given the resources to change them and if the workplace norms and environments change. 

Without the other pieces to facilitate behavior change -- healthy cafeterias, opportunities to exercise, flexible work hours, supportive leadership and middle managers, and health risk assessments and coaching -- incentive programs will only penalize, not change, those who are least healthy.

Ab Exercise for Strong Deadlifts

Notes From Readings

Abdominal exercises such as traditional crunches can help you flatten your stomach by tightening your muscles. However, they won't help you "spot burn" any fat that's covering up the muscles, and they won't get you the best results on their own. Combine a series of exercises to boost the effectiveness of your routine.

Also, the American Council on Exercise says traditional crunches activate less muscle activity than many other forms of abdominal exercises.

http://www.livestrong.com/article/384287-do-crunches-help-to-flatten-your-stomach/

Bicycle crunches specifically target the side abdominal muscles called the internal and external obliques. These muscles are commonly left out of most abdominal and core strengthening routines.

Bicycles are one of the most effective exercises to strengthen your tranvserse abdominis, rectus abdominis and obliques.

http://www.livestrong.com/article/540887-what-muscles-do-bicycle-crunches-work/

To better isolate your rectus abdominus and oblique muscles, complete the crunch movement with your feet up. Placing your feet up on a bench or exercise ball with your knees bent will limit the ability of the rectus femoris to become involved. You can also hold your legs directly up toward the ceiling.

According to a 2001 study commissioned by the American Council on Exercise, the vertical leg crunch is among the most effective abdominal exercises for developing your rectus abdominus and obliques.

http://www.livestrong.com/article/454471-the-muscles-targeted-by-crunches/

So for bodybuilders, eight-time Mr. Olympia Arnold Schwarzenegger recommends crunches over situps in "The New Encyclopedia of Modern Bodybuilding." However, many athletes who require not only abdominal strength but hip strength still perform situps. Find out exactly which muscles situps use to decide if it's the best exercise for you.

http://www.livestrong.com/article/545582-what-muscle-is-used-to-do-situps/

Situps and crunches are both common exercises performed to work the abdominal muscles. While these exercises are very similar, there are a few small differences that should be taken into account when deciding which exercise is best for your own personal fitness goals.

While situps are primarily considered a safe exercise, they may not be appropriate for everyone. The strong use of the hip flexors during situps can make them dangerous for individuals with weak abdominal muscles or a history of low back problems. If you find that situps create a pull or pain in your lower back, opt instead for crunches or half-situps in which your lower back never leaves the floor. These exercises will strengthen your abdominal muscles while protecting and maintaining spine health. Once your abs are stronger, you can begin to introduce complete situps into your workout routine.

Hi All,

I'd like to thank Mr. Sushant Sehgal to consent for the interview with the Health and Fitness India network. Our Q&A are as follows:

1. Why did you decide to enter the fitness industry?

Fitness is my passion. When I was in college I use to go for workouts in various gyms to know more about fitness. Then I started using those techniques taught to me by my trainers and used some variations in it. Then I thought it's better to come in this field, so that I can take my passion to a new level.

2. What are your specialties as a fitness professional?

I'm a physiotherapist and then I did diploma in yoga. Then when I decided to come in this field I applied and cleared my ACE exam. So my speciality is physiocare plus yoga along with fitness training. I prefer pilates and functional training more than weight training.

3. What's a great piece of advise that you've given to a client?

My advice is to be patient and results wil come automatically.

4. Can you please share any major mistakes that fitness professionals make?

Workout should be according to the needs and physical abilities of the member. Same workout is not recommended to all the people. As body type of each individual is different.

5. Where do you see yourself professionally in the next five and ten years from now?

My goal is to see myself, as an international fitness trainer.

Hi All,

I'd like to thank Ms. Richa Sharma to consent for the interview with the Health and Fitness India network. Our Q&A are as follows:

1. Why did you decide to enter the fitness industry?

I was always a fitness enthusiast and I realized that in most of the gyms I went to, there were no properly qualified trainers. Most of their methods were outdated and non-scientific. Most of the trainers have been focusing on body-building rather than overall fitness. As a result the desired results were rare or limited. Sometimes I used to get nagging injuries as well. It was a continuous journey rather than a single incident and exploration of exercising concepts that made me aware of proper training methods. Once I achieved what I wanted, I decided to turn it into a career and help other people.

2. What are your specialties as a fitness professional?

• Handle the progression and transition of all the clients into new, more effective exercises.

• Make exercise programs based on specific, customized needs and goals.

• Create and implement complete and individualized time based programs which include weight goals, diet specifications and menus, physical training and exercise, and lifestyle changes.

• Focus on motivation and program adherence.

• Correct assessment of posture deviations and prescribing correct and safe rectification methods.

3. What's a great piece of advise that you've given to a client?

One of my clients is a middle aged woman. She had not worked out or had any kind of exercise in many years. The moment she joined a gym, she expected immediate results. Also just by looking at other regular gym goers, she started to expect the same fitness level as those members. I had to tell her to be patient and consistent with her workouts as one cannot undo the damage caused by several years of unhealthy lifestyle, instantly. Its important to work on strong foundation and to start with modest, short term goals.

4. Can you please share any major mistakes that fitness professionals make?

Trainers sometimes introduce too much too early, without even working on the basic movements in order to impress the client. This can sometime lead to injuries. If a client is de-conditioned, before introducing movement patterns, trainers should first work on stability and mobility training.

5. Where do you see yourself professionally in the next five and ten years from now?

I would like to educate myself more. Since obesity is like an epidemic now I would like to complete "Lifestyle and Weight Management" certification. I want to reach out to more people who are in need of expert guidance and want to promote Fitness as a Lifestyle habit. Also I have started my own Facebook page called "Quickfit by Richa Sharma" through which I am regularly posting Fitness updates and facts.

Her professional and contact details:

• ACE (American Council on Exercise) certified personal trainer. Certificate No. - T160334

• PIA (Pilates Institute of America) Certification

• Attended and completed “Training the Core” webinar by exercise physiologist Pete McCall, one of the founders of ACE IFT model.

• Successfully completed ACE IFT (Integrated Fitness Training) model.

• International Red Cross CPR

• Kettle bell workshop with Steve Cotter 

• Completed a continuing education program with ACE on "Fitness and Menopause"

17 facts and myths about great skin

http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2013-07-22/beauty/30275843_1_skin-type-facts-and-myths-hair

By increasing blood flow, exercise helps nourish skin cells and keep them vital. "Blood carries oxygen and nutrients to working cells throughout the body, including the skin," says dermatologist Ellen Marmur, MD, author of Simple Skin Beauty: Every Woman's Guide to a Lifetime of Healthy, Gorgeous Skin and associate professor of dermatology at Mount Sinai School of Medicine. In addition to providing oxygen, blood flow also helps carry away waste products, including free radicals, from working cells. Contrary to some claims, exercise doesn't detoxify the skin. The job of neutralizing toxins belongs mostly to the  liver. "But by increasing blood flow, a bout of exercise helps flush cellular debris out of the system," Marmur tells WebMD. "You can think of it as cleansing your skin from the inside."

Exercise has also been shown to ease stress. "And by decreasing stress, some conditions that can be exacerbated by stress can show some improvement," says Brian B. Adams, MD, associate professor and director of the Sports Dermatology Clinic at the University of Cincinnati. Conditions that can improve when stress is reduced include acne and  eczema. Although researchers are still investigating the link between stress and skin, studies show that the sebaceous glands, which produce oil in the skin, are influenced by stress hormones.

I thought of starting this blog post after the following experience. Like how a suggestion from a friend helped me, I wish that this blog post including the comments would be of value to people. Most of the following isn't related to improving facial skin quality (do see the comments below for skin related updates):

I started going to gym in my apartment complex. During evening, I went to salon in my apartment complex. The owner is my friend. I asked about (glycerin + gulab jal + lemon) mix to apply on face for several pimples that have come on my face. He said I should try it. He also said to drink Safi. I said that I'm looking for a new gym since not working out regularly in recent weeks has probably also brought several pimples. He said that why don't I go to the one in my apartment complex. I said that I'll check it out which I did and they've serviced the equipment only a week ago. It's fine and moreover it saves my time a lot which I can use for dance class that I've wanted to join for a long while. Also, I've always wanted to go to gym twice in a day with cardio in morning and weight training in evening which I can try to do now much better.
 
After checking out the gym, I went to the salon and asked my friend to come along with me to workout on which the person said that the society doesn't allow them for which I felt very upset. I said I would try to speak with society management on which the person said that it has already been discussed. I wish this person can exercise regularly. I'm very thankful to this person for the suggestion. I also keep giving this person my suggestions on marketing and other things. I wish that we can be of value to each other for the long term.

I also spoke to a yoga teacher who had held a class for ladies in the community center. He's trying to setup a power yoga class for males and which I'm looking forward to if the batch can be made.
 
Best,
Shakti

Hi All,

I'd like to thank Dr. Chirag Sethi, Managing Director of Classic Fitness Group www.classicfitnessgroup.com, to consent for the interview with the Health and Fitness India network. Our Q&A are as follows:

1. Why did you decide to enter the fitness industry?

Fitness was always my passion so I thought of opting my passion as my profession. Having a master's degree in sports physiotherapy helped me alot to understand the basics clearly. Seeing the ongoing trend of obesity in India I hope I could make a difference.

2. What are your specialities as a fitness professional?

I hold a master degree in sports physiotherapy, I have done various international certifications from ACE / ACSM / NCSF.

My specialities are sports conditioning, kettlebell, TRX and BOSU ball workouts for whole body conditioning.

3. What's a great piece of advise that you've given to a client?

I always believe in chosing the right amount of exercise with correct technique. If the technique is wrong and we lift heavy we will only have injuries.

Good nutrition and right exercises are a key for a healthy body.

4. Can you please share any major mistakes that fitness professionals make?

The major mistake fitness professionals do is they make all the clients do the same workout. We have to understand every client is different and their goals are different.
One form of exercise will always not benefit all clients.

5. Where do you see yourself professionally in the next five and ten years from now?

5 years from now I would like to see me educating more and more people in India and spreading my network of training academies all over India which will provide training to all the aspiring professionals.
