You Deserve Only The Best: A world-wide summit (Part 3 of 3)
How would it feel if you actually began to view your well-being as important as you deem those of your loved ones and others in your circles? Suppose you overheard your boss asking a colleague to work this weekend and the colleague declining, stating that she would not be able to, but would see him bright and early on Monday? Would you cringe or even be fearful? If so, maybe it’s time to shift your beliefs to a place where you begin to embrace the idea that You Deserve Only The Best; a place where you are able to honor yourself before or alongside others; where your well-being is just…

Metabolic benefits of using light weights in your exercise program
Fueling the engine Consider metabolism as the engine of your car and the food you eat as the fuel. Are you giving your engine high or low quality fuel? Metabolism helps determine your body’s performance in relation to how it uses the fuel you consume. In fact, it’s the storage of fuel that leads to weight gain. Your metabolism is also responsible for whether or not the energy from the food you eat will be released for use by your body, right away, or stored in your tissues. The process of catabolism allows your body to use the energy right away while anabolism builds new cells and rejuvenates existing ones, storing…

HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training) Workouts For Men

However, if you’ve been sedentary or totally inactive in the exercise department, you will want to first develop a basic and regular exercise schedule. It is advisable to consult your health care provider to ensure that your general health can tolerate the new routine. Membership in a gym or fitness center is certainly a fitness option. However, it is not necessary for incorporating high-intensity interval training in your overall workout plan. The fact that HIIT can occur anywhere is one of its growing attractions.…

Suggestions to enhance exercise routines
You’ve been exercising diligently and it’s evident! Of late, however, it seems you’ve hit a plateau; often the result of the body becoming acclimated to expected routines. Changing your workout plans will help you to keep the body guessing so it does not get used to the routine. For example, implement sets of bodyweight exercises such as burpees, lunges, and crunches. This will burn energy and tone muscles. Skip the weight machines, and add some free weights. Instead of the treadmill, join a number of different exercise classes.

Men’s health: Starting with the brain
Are you, like so many others, finding yourself getting a little lax in the memory department? If so, this is likely linked to the natural path of aging. The fact of the matter is that as we age, our brain capacity decreases due to the natural death of brain cells. However, exercise and fitness have been shown to help alleviate and, at times, even reverse the effects of cognitive decline. The two mechanisms behind the brain boost: Improvement of blood flow to the brain: Reduced blood flow can lead to starvation/ poor perfusion of the cells in the brain, causing “hypoxia” known as oxygen starvation. In the process, essential nutrients…

More on your core…
I just read this Harvard Health article which serves as a nice follow-up to How’s your core.

How’s your core?
Is it the abdomen or stomach? Polls reveal that when asked about their core, most people immediately think of their abs. But your core is actually composed of 6 groups of 29 muscles located in your upper thigh, lower back, and the sides and front of your stomach. Believe it or not, it’s possible to possess a strong core beneath layers of fat. While this piece of information is good to know, how can you tell if your core is weak or strong? If you experience frequent tightness and/or pain in your lower back, a weak core could be a part of the problem. Since core muscles also protect your…
