Cara membentuk Perut 6-Pax
Apa senaman terbaik untuk perut? sebelum persoalan tersebut dijawab suka saya ingin tanya, adakah setiap kali anda makan, anda boleh mengarahkan lemak supaya berkumpul hanya di perut? Apakah perlu buat senaman perut setiap hari? Sebelum menjawab itu juga, saya ingin bertanya, adakah anda makan setiap hari atau selang-selang?
Senaman melibatkan penurunan perut atau pembentukan six-pack bukan hanya bertumpu pada 'everyday sit-up'. Latihan bebanan sendiri sudah menggunakan core-muscle yang merangkumi perut dan pinggang. Berlatih dada menggunakan core-muscle, buat squatmenggunakan core-muscle, boleh kata hampir keseluruhan pergerakan ada menggunakancore-muscle. Jadi ditambah dengan pemakanan yang baik, itu yang membentuk otot perut yang cantik.
Adakah sit-up beribu-ribu kali membantu dalam membentuk six-pack? Jika beribu-ribu, saya akan jawab ya, tetapi berapa ramai yang dapat buat beribu tu? Biasanya ada penyekatan disebabkan kekurangan garam tertentu seperti potassium yang mana akan menyebabkan krem jika melebihi satu angka, setiap orang berbeza. Tetapi dalam masa yang sama perlu diingatkan, jika pemakanan tidak betul, ada kemungkinan badan akan catabolismedisebabkan senaman berlebihan. Jadi yang terbakar bukan lagi lemak.
Apakah senaman terbaik untuk perut? Saya jarang mencadangkan bangkit tubi atau sit-updisebabkan beberapa sebab termasuk catabolisme, risiko kecederaan di pinggang dan lain-lain. Saya cadangkan plank. Bagaimana? Kekal dalam posisi dalam gambar di bawah untuk 1 jangka waktu. Lagi lama lagi baik dengan keadaan badan lurus. Jika sedikit ke atas akan lebih menyasarkan bahagian pinggang belakang. Elok untuk mereka yang dalam rehabilitasi daripada sakit pinggang. Tetapi perlu diingatkan secara amnya ada dua pergerakan yang melibatkan rehabilitasi pinggang, secara melintang dan menegak. Saya akan ceritakan dalam topik rehabilitasi suatu hari nanti.
Apakah twist itu elok? Hari ini kita dapat lihat, ada mesin direka dengan bebanan untuk melakukan twist. Atau secara oldschool-nya, sejak dari zaman Arnold Scwachzeneggermenggunakan twist samada menggunakan batang kayu atau besi. Adakah ianya elok atau selamat? Twist mungkin tambahkan kelenturan pada sesuatu pergerakan tetapi sebenarnya tidak banyak membantu dalam menurunkan saiz pinggang. Dari segi keselamatannya, cuba bayangkan bahagian di tulang vertebra anda berputar-putar yang mana sepatutnya ada sekatan dalam pergerakan untuk menjaga tulang belakang. Kenapa mesin-mesin itu dicipta? Sebenarnya lebih pada mengikut permintaan. Jurulatih yang baik, akan cuba elakkan pelatih di bawahnya menggunakan mesin tersebut. Boleh digunakan tetapi dengan pergerakan yang betul, tidak keterlaluan dan lebih sesuai untuk kegunaan atlet tertentu berbanding digunakan untuk kelihatan ramping. Zaman dah semakin maju dengan pelbagai kajian dan pembaikpulih dalam sistem latihan. Janganlah mengikut 100% latihan 100 tahun dahulu.
Saya sering melihatkan ada orang memegang dumbbell di kedua belah tangan dan menggerakkan badan, bila ditanya, dia cakap untuk buang lemak di bahagian tepi perut. Ada ke senaman begitu? Untuk pengetahuan semua, pergerakan senaman adalah mengikut garisan otot. Samada memanjangkan atau memendekkan otot. Jika kita lihat struktor anatomi bahagian oblique, kita akan dapati bahawa otot oblique senget ketepi. Jadi pergerakan dari atas ke bawah tidak membantu malas memberi tekanan pada otot terlibat. Ada atlet mungkin memerlukan pergerakan yang pelik-pelik ini, tetapi jika hanya menyasarkan membakar lemak, elakkan pergerakan-pergerakan pelik.
Jadi apakah kesimpulannya? Sertakan latihan aerobik dan anaerobik serta penjagaan makan yang baik. Tiada cara singkat untuk membentuk perut. Tetapkan jangka masa yang munasabah. :p

Cara memilih Gym yang sesuai untuk Lelaki Malaysia
Ketika ini ramai dari lelaki rakyat Malaysia sudah mulai pandai menjaga bentuk badan.
Oleh itu ada yang memilih untuk membuat latihan di gym ataupun hanya berjoging. Memilih gym kadang kala menjadi agak sukar kepada sesetengah orang.
Pernahkah anda jumpa seseorang yang sangat cerewet?
Ada saja yang tak kena dengan gym yang dimasukinya. Sama ada, dari segi peralatan, persekitaran, kebersihan dan sebagainya.
Bagaimana memilih gym yang sesuai?
1. Lokasi
Carilah gym yang berdekatan dengan anda. Sama ada berdekatan dengan rumah atau berdekatan dengan pejabat. Walaupun terdapat gym lain yang begitu menawan hati pada jarak 1 jam perjalanan, percayalah, anda hanya bersemangat pada bulan-bulan pertama sahaja.
2. Kawasan Letak Kenderaan
Perkara pertama saya suka tekankan, lebih-lebih lagi yang memandu kereta, pastikan gym tersebut ada tempat letak kenderaan yang mudah. Saya pernah ke satu gym, pusing 10 kali kawasan tersebut pun belum jumpa tempat letak kenderaan. Akhirnya masuk gym dengan mood panas, bukan mood latihan.
3. Bayaran
Periksa bayarannya, adakah terlalu mahal atau terlalu murah, sesuai dengan kemampuan kita. Janganlah menghabiskan 30 peratus daripada gaji untuk bayar yuran gym dan akhirnya makan mee segera sahaja setiap hari.
4. Masa Operasi
Pastikan masa operasi gym kena dengan masa anda.
5. Peralatan
Pastikan peralatan sesuai dengan sasaran anda. Jika ingin menjadi ahli bina badan janganlah pilih gym dengan dumbbell terberat hanya 15 lbs.
6. Kebersihan
Sanggupkah anda berlatih di gym dengan tandas yang teruk, berbau? Sanggupkah anda berlatih di gym dengan bau ikan? Saya pernah berlatih di gym dengan lebih 10 akuarium. Rasanya dulu, tuan kedai itu nak buka kedai ikan tetapi tersilap beli mesin.
7. Persekitaran
Pastikan persekitaran sesuai dengan anda. Bayangkan anda seorang berusia 20 tahun manakala yang lain 60 tahun. Kalau boleh bergaul tidak mengapa, tetapi jika anda jenis yang tidak tahu bergaul, masak dibuatnya. Kemesraan antara ahli gym serta staf juga memainkan peranan.
8. Jurulatih
Paling penting, pastikan ada jurulatih bertauliah. Bukan masuk gym sahaja dah suruh ambil steroid.
oleh itu ingin saya tekankan pilihlah gym yang berdekatan dengan tempat anda dan yang tidak mengambil masa perjalanan untuk ke sana..dan pastikan persekitan gym tersebut membuatkan anda merasa selesa.
A Look on Diet Fitness
A Look on Diet Fitness
Many people nowadays are very much conscious about their own health and fitness.
In addition to that, these people, and many others as well, are now having that desire to sculpt their bodies to ahieve that magazine-cover look.
As a result, gyms, health spas and other fitness centers have proliferated all over to cater to the needs of the fitness buffs and afficionados.
Even on television exercise machines, weight loss products, and other paraphernalia to improve fitness have more or less gained control over the airwaves and made their way into the households. But exerise is not the only way to build that body beautiful. It also entails certain amount of responsibility on the foods one chooses to eat. Being healthy and fit requires one to observe diet fitness.
Diet fitness is as essential as exercise itself. Diet for fitness provides the essential nutrition one needs to restore worn-out muscles and for healthy growth. Diet fitness should never be taken for granted.
With the popularity of keeping fit, many different views, methods, programs and dieting strategies have been formulated by many professionals. Among these are high carb diets and high fat diets. Whih one is more effective and which one should one choose to follow?
First thing to know would be the fundamental differences between these two diet approaches. As the name implies, high carb diets concentrates on taking in carbohydrate-rich foods while high fat diets endorses fat-rich foods. High carb diets are utilized to glycogen stored in the liver and muscles. Glycogen is a glucose complex that provides large amounts of energy ready for use in anaerobic exercises.
Fats, on the other hand, is well-nown for being the richest source of calories. It actually contains 2.5 times more calories than carbohydrates and proteins alike. Studies also show that it takes the body 24 calories to metabolize carbohydrates while it only takes 3 to burn down fat.
So which one to follow?
A person can follow a high carb and low fat fitness diet or the other way around. It is absolutely not recommended to follow both at the same time; unless of course if you want to gain body fat.
But then diet fitness is not all about losing fat, one must also consider his diet in order to keep fat away. Research shows that sustainable loss of weight can only be achieved on a diet which suits the individual food preferences, lifestyle, medical profile and satiety signals.
Diet programs all over can help you shed off excess pounds, but only one diet can help you stay sexy, and it is the one that satisfies you most. Other important aspects of having a fit diet are moderation, balance and variation. One must be careful not to leave out important nutrients and other substances necessary for healthy body functioning. health organizations are clear about the amounts of nutrients an individual should have in the body.
Low fat high carbs, high carbs low fat; the question is not which diet program will work out but which is it that will work for you.
Striving for a sexy and healthy body does not have to burden an individual, diet fitness does not have to mean sticking to the same kind of food for life.
One may even try to be adventurous and try out new foods out there. Who knows? one may even discover spinach interesting.
Beauty and Fitness
Beauty and Fitness
Health is wealth. By being physically fit, it can make a person look lean both inside and out.
There is a lot a person can do such jogging or walking in the morning, playing basketball or any other sport with friends but if a person wants to have muscles and look lean, the best thing to do will be to sign up and workout in a gym.
Just like taking any medicine, one should first consult the doctor before undergoing any form of exercise.
Physical exercise is beneficial because it helps maintain and improve ones health from a variety of diseases and premature death. It also makes a person feel happier and increases ones self esteem preventing one from falling into depression or anxiety. It has also shown to make a person with an active lifestyle live longer than a person who doesn't.
The best exercise plan should have cardiovascular and weight training exercises. This helps burn calories and increase the muscle to fat ratio that will increase ones metabolism and make one either gain or lose weight.
A person who has never worked out before should do it gradually. Doing it too much for the first time can make one pull a muscle or have an injury making it worse. Endurance will never be built in a day and doing it repeatedly will surely be good to the person.
Focusing on certain portion in the body can help make it improve. A good example is going to the gym and doing a workout more often in a specific area such as the abs can give one a chest pack.
But beauty is not only about having muscles which is what people can see. It is also about enhancing the beauty within.
Here are some things one can do everyday to stay beautiful and healthy;
· Reading books and other reading material more often keeps the mind sharp just like working out keeps the body in shape.
· Work no matter what kind it is produces stress. One can reduce this by taking the time out to do something special like lying in a hot tub, shopping or watching a movie. Studies have shown it is reliever and helps one from looking haggardly.
· Pollution is something people cannot control given the size of the problem. When one goes out, it is best to put some form of protection such as beauty products that contain antioxidants that protect the skin from damage. There are also other beauty products available and choosing the right one with the help of a dermatologist can help the person.
· Another way to stay healthy is to give up some vices. Most people smoke and drink. Smoking has been proven to cause lung cancer and other diseases as well complications for women giving birth. Excessive drinking has also shown to do the same.
· For people who don't smoke, it is best to stay away from people who do since studies have shown that nonsmokers are also at risk of developing cancer due to secondary smoke inhalation.
· Lastly, it is best to always start the day with a positive outlook. Just as studies have shown that exercise makes a person feel happier, smiling produces the same effect. A smile can do a lot and it is contagious in a positive sense. It brightens the day of not only one but others as well.
5 Crucial Steps to Buying Wholesale Nutritional Supplements
Whether you own a pharmacy, health store, grocery store, or even if you are a healthcare professional, getting quality nutritional supplements from a dependable wholesaler is not always easy. There are many companies that make big claims for their products while their consumers waste money on supplements that don't work.
That's why it is crucial for you to choose your wholesale distributor carefully. Here are five steps to ensure that you stock your shelves (or online catalog) with quality nutritional supplements at affordable rates.
1. Compare Nutritional Supplements and Check for Quality
Before signing on with a wholesale company, compare their brand names and product quality with others. Ask for referrals. Speaking with other business owners who use their products will give you plenty of information. Ask how their customers liked the products.
To check for quality, ask what ingredients are used in certain popular products including herbal remedies, weight loss supplements, hair supplements, and wellness products. Are there any additives that could weaken the product's affect? Also, ask for detailed information about their laboratory where drugs are produced. What are the regulations for safety, sanitization, and working conditions?
2. Check Availability
Be sure the wholesale distributor offers the items you need and plenty of them. Nutritional supplements come in different forms, such as pills, sprays, lotions, gels, powders, capsules, and lubes. They are available for a variety of purposes: hair growth, weight loss, quitting smoking, improving health, building muscle, and so forth. Many herbal remedies are designed to help someone become a healthy man or woman without the negative side effects often experienced with prescription medicines.
You should be able to buy all the types of nutritional supplements when you need them from your wholesale supplier so your customers won't be forced to go elsewhere.
4. Check Delivery Times
You can't sell a nutritional or herbal supplement that's "out of stock." It's important that your supplier provide a quick turnaround time and fast shipping services so your product will be in your store on time.
5. Check for Customization Possibilities
Be sure your wholesaler allows you to customize your nutritional supplements. Ask if you can order private label supplements and establish your own brand identity. Some companies will even develop new formulas for you!
Once you find a wholesaler that meets these requirements, you're on your way to success in the field of nutritional supplements. Remember, don't only compare prices - compare the quality of the products and services. You'll be able to give your customers the top-quality nutritional supplements they need at affordable rates.

3 Lessons From The Biggest Loser
All over the world, night after night, millions of people are riveted to their TV sets - but not to watch the latest soap, or CSI. Not to watch Jay Leno or Sex in the City. Not to see who outwits, outlasts and outplays others in Survivor. No - they are spellbound by the efforts of a small band of obese people trying to overcome the effects of years of overeating.
It's not surprising that for so many people this is compulsive viewing. Obesity is the new epidemic. Fat children lumber around school playgrounds while their overweight mothers fill shopping carts with wrong choices. Then... they sit down at night to watch The Biggest Loser. They see dramatic weight loss and startling new body shapes beginning to emerge. They want the same results - and they begin to think it might be possible.
But who has four or five hours a day to work out? Who can afford a personal trainer several times a week? And who has the luxury of their own personal adviser on calorie content and smart food choices? The answer is: not many people. But you have to remember that this is television: it's a false situation. As the players keep reminding themselves and the viewers: "This is a GAME. You have to make the most of your time here - it's going to be so much harder out in the real world."
IS it harder in the real world? Probably. But you can take lessons away from watching this reality show. You can make it work for you, as well as for the contestants. Here are three practical and useful lessons you can put to use immediately.
1. Put Weight Loss First.
In the Biggest Loser household WEIGHT LOSS COMES FIRST. Make it come first in your household, too. Sounds simple, doesn't it? It is. In fact, so simple that many people just overlook it. They try to fit exercise and meal planning around everything else in their lives, instead of making it a priority.
Think: what is most important: getting the weight off, and becoming fit enough to put years on your life - or watching another TV show? Sit down with a pen and paper and allot at least one hour a day to planning meals, recording what you eat, and doing some form of exercise. You've still got 23 hours left to do everything else!
2. E is for Exercise - and Enjoy!
What else do you notice in the Biggest Loser household? The more they exercise, the more they seem to enjoy it. Oh sure, they grunt and they groan; they sweat and they complain. But as the weeks go on, you'll hear them say things like: "I never thought I'd say that I look forward to working out - but now don't feel right if a day goes past without exercise!"
The secret to enjoying exercise is finding what's right for YOU. If you don't really enjoy the gym, look for other forms of exercise. You need a mix of cardio and resistance training - but it doesn't have to be on machines. Walk, swim, dance, climb hills, push a wheelbarrow in the garden... there are endless choices that can be fun for you. Research what happens to various muscle groups - and to your heart - when you exercise, and pick activities that you will enjoy.
3. Identify the Triggers.
Emotions run high when the contestants have to face their demons. Weight gain is rarely from just a physical cause. If you keep a food diary, and faithfully record not only what you eat but when (and why) you eat it, you'll soon see a pattern of emotional eating. What are YOUR triggers? Boredom? Tiredness? Family arguments?
Once you have identified these triggers, you can start working on strategies to defeat them. This can be as simple as challenging yourself every time you want food. ("Am I hungry - yes or no? If I'm not hungry, then why do I want to eat? Am I really just thirsty? If I'm running to the fridge because I'm upset, is there something else I can do to feel better? Is there a long-term solution that will fix this forever?" and so on.) If you're not yet ready to deal with the root cause, then be prepared with food that won't add to your problems with the resulting rolls of fat. Make sure that you have 'good' food at hand - but also food that you LIKE.
These are just three of the lessons that anyone can take away from watching The Biggest Loser. And you'll have the satisfaction of knowing you did it all by yourself.

Is There a Relationship Between Body Building Clothing and Body Building Exercise?
Is There a Relationship Between Body Building Clothing and Body Building Exercise?
People tend to forget about the impact body building clothing can have on their exercise program. Though it does not seem so, there is a very important connection between body building clothing and the way your body reacts to the exercise.
What Kinds of Body Building Clothing are Best for the Gym?
Comfort is the first and foremost factor to consider when choosing your body building clothing. Do not ignore any facet of your comfort. You need cotton clothes, because these types of clothing absorb sweat and allow the body to be aired. Synthetic clothes on the other hand will suffocate you, because they do not allow perspiration to dry nor air to get inside the clothes.
When body building clothing becomes uncomfortable because of inner body heat and the inability of the sweat to dry, your mind will switch off from the exercise and seek respite from the discomfort. In this way, you will loose your concentration when exercising. When your concentration is lost, your effort in the exercise regime is also lost because you are not putting in your 100 percent anymore.
On the other hand, if the body building clothing is comfortable, you will forget how you are dressed and only concentrate upon the exercise and workouts given. Hence, you are likely to succeed in achieving your goal much faster than the people who wear synthetic clothes. There are many slips between the cup and the lip, and many times the body building clothing will cause that slip.
A good gym will have the trainer explain to the newly enrolled person the benefits of adequate clothing and guide them on what to wear and what not to wear. Wearing appropriate clothes will make it easy for the person to learn the workouts and practice them.
You should always focus on the clothing that gives you most comfort in terms of material, design and fit. Each one of these factors can be critical to the way you exercise and succeed at the gym.
The material should preferably be cotton. The clothes should fit loosely, but not so loose as to get into your and other people's way. Lastly, you will need a good design, which leaves your knees and elbows free of any restraint and pressure. When all these factors are fulfilled, you will be comfortable and successful in your body building program.
