Here is a workout that I found very helpful. i enjoyed that workout. Her workout was very easy and fun to follow!!

Besides being located at the centermost region of your body, there is another reason why your core is called by that name. The muscles that make up your core are responsible for distributing energy, weight, and movement throughout your upper and lower torsos. Your core also ensures that the other muscle groups in your body cooperate with one another during exertion. Without it, you lack the support structure needed to give you balance, flexibility, and the strength needed to carry your body weight. Outside of serving as a foundation, the core is also responsible for making sure certain bodily functions continue to work normally. That means your core muscles help with blood circulation, digestion, etc. They also make sure that your organs stay in place when you are moving. It can be easy to take for granted how your body moves exactly how you want it to without pain or inconvenience. Making sure that your core is well-built can make all the difference as you do physical tasks in your daily life. The core is included in most fitness programs since you need to evenly bulk up all the muscles in your body. However, there are times you may want to focus your attention on just your core. A popular reason for working on your core is to get firm and impressive looking abs. Besides showing off how muscular you are, it is proof that you put in a lot of effort to get your body in shape.

The notion that a takedown will help you establish control so you can work for a pin or a submission is similar in both cases. There are movements in both genres that skip right to the eventual outcome. Without establishing control on top first, you can throw someone or attempt a pinning combination from the neutral position in wrestling. Submissions are possible in jiu-jitsu from both the neutral and guard positions, thus the traditional sequences aren't always followed. We'll look at what benefits wrestlers can expect from cross-training in jiu-jitsu and vice versa, because cross-training improves both sides. In many ways, wrestling outperforms BJJ, particularly when it comes to explosive and devastating takedowns. Yes, BJJ teaches you how to defend against takedowns, but skilled wrestlers would breeze right through it like butter. If we're talking about MMA fights, for example, this is critical. BJJ trips and throws are effective as long as the opponent lacks a strong takedown defense. We've seen how they struggle when faced with a nasty striker with a strong takedown defense. Wrestlers, on the other hand, have no such issues because they can score takedowns against anyone. Wrestling's other edge is its strength and unrelenting tempo. Wrestlers are all powerful, explosive, and have enough cardio to keep up a fast pace for days. They are rarely weary, and having them on top of everything is exhausting. Not to mention the strength of their slams, which have been known to knock opponents out cold in MMA. Slams like suplexes have the potential to kill a person, which has happened on the streets numerous times. Yes, BJJ has more weapons and is more self-defense oriented. Make no mistake about that, though. Wrestling is no laughing matter. It is a combat sport that prepares you to compete according to the regulations. However, its principle and tactics are transferable to any freestyle fighting.

Hey there, I am gyming continuously from last 4 years but I really don't like the leg workout. Are there any easy to do exercises, I can do at home or even at gym without and pain.

In a world where there is an increasing awareness of fitness and the importance of workout in staying healthy, some people are naturally over the top. We have created terms like ‘gym rats’, those special breed of people who are always at the gym come rain, come shine. They are the gym mirrors, permanent fixtures at the gym, showing us their muscles and espousing the gospel of workout. However, very few fitness enthusiasts talk about the importance of rest. During workout, the human body needs to take some time off to rest and recover from the tears inflicted on the muscles by lifting weights. Recovery includes but is not limited to hydration, stretching and so on. In as much as we like to imagine the human body as strong and capable of adapting to anything, and while this is true, the body needs time to adapt to the stress and exertion caused by exercise. Ironically, no matter how much work you put in at the gym, the real rewards of your efforts only begin to take place when your body is at rest. There are generally two broad divisions of recovery – the short term recovery, and the long term recovery. The short term recovery is generally the kind which comes after a particularly rigorous workout session. The long term recovery is favoured by professional athletes who take time off their workout regimes at periods within the year to fully recover. An example of a well regulated weekly casual exercise routine is a 30-minute daily workout session from Monday to Friday with a recovery break from Saturday to Sunday. New age fitness enthusiasts have championed the concept of active recovery – a process where following an intense workout, a person engages in light exercise as opposed to total rest. Rest and recovery are critical components of any effective fitness regimen, as well as structuring and sticking to a diet which will also help the body to maximize blood flow and recover quickly. Post exercise meals make the difference between getting results or not – this is because the human body synthesizes proteins during workouts and these proteins must be replenished. The pre-exercise meal must also not be under emphasized, eating poorly can drastically affect performance and prevent optimum performance. Hydration too is as important as diet in recovery. It involves replenishing the body with fluids, many of which are lost during workouts. Water works a real treat for fitness enthusiasts and athletes. There is simply no such thing as having too much water! It must also be mentioned that sleep is a crucial part of any fitness regimen and six to seven hours of sleep daily surely gives your body a boost. If you are going to be hitting the gym hard during the week, you best be hitting your mattress hard during the weekend for some heavy duty rest. Sleep deprivation is harmful to people who spend long hours working out as it has the long term effect of affecting the body’s hormonal balance. Just like most of us, we understand the importance of rest to high performance but sometimes we cannot help but feel a pang of guilt whenever we take a day off. Alright fitness enthusiasts, go into the gym, get out and be sure you do not forget to recover! http://www.slimfitu.com/fitness/all-workout-and-no-rest-the-place-of-rest-in-fitness/

Hi, Newbie here! I would like to get some tips to you guys that are experienced in this kind of situation (English is not my native language so sorry for bad english ). I am thinking over and over which one should I take, amino or whey? Here is the details of me: 23 years old Male Height: 5 feet and 4 inches Weight: 75 Kilos Too much fat on both side of my chest (just like in the side of chest beneath the underarm, I don't know if these are man boobs, but yeah.) What I am doing right now for 2 weeks is jogging, walking and diet. And I drink green tea 3x a day. Not working out like going to the gym but I am planning to go to the gym, that is why I would like to here from you guys which one should I take. 8 months ago I already go to the gym like for 5 months and I lose weight which is 10 kilos and I'm taking Amino Tab 2222. But now I really want to lose again some weight and to have a body with a shape (not bulky) just like a shaped body with abs, cuts, something like sexy if you are a man. Because I look chubby right now and I can't wear my old jeans and clothes. Hoping to hear from you guys. Thanks in advance for the tips and help.

This is a video (Mini-Documentary) to inspire all and to show what you can do with your body in only 28 days when you quit drinking, change your diet, and are active everyday!

I have syncope which really isn't a big deal if I wanted to sleep all the time. Syncope means I faint or black out when I stand or when I do something that should raise my blood pressure even slightly. This is caused by a series of events that all come from hypotension, or low blood pressure. This is the short definition of course. Either way, it doesn't happen every single time. When I decided to lift weights was when I became very aware of my syncope. I just cannot get my heart rate up consistently to get a good workout in. Not to mention I looked odd constantly yawning while lifting. It's almost like I could take a nap between every rep. It's annoying more than anything. So I wanted to learn to train my heart to do it's job. When you run with syncope it takes a very very long time to get your heart rate up and once it gets up, you could run forever. Of course you may pass out repeatedly trying to get your heart rate to that point. That's the miserable way to do it. The better way to train syncope is to walk then run and walk then run. Over time, you walk less and run more. This is the best way to train your heart rate for anyone but especially for those with syncope. It keeps your heart guessing and trying to keep up until finally, it figures out it's just going to have to raise on demand. So for those of you out there with super low blood pressure and heart rates and for those of you who faint or blackout when you do anything strenuous, it takes time but you CAN get there!
