Setting objectives

As I said, I'm new here;). To begin, I hang an article sent to me by Andreu. As you know, he can advise you and will design a specific table for you to lose weight. The article discusses the purpose of set goals once we decide to exercise. Hope you like it.

The definition of objectives in sports

Running Machine

Normally one aims "to improve general fitness, but that's not enough. What does improve fitness? We have to realize the objectives.

We have to start targets. For example:

* Content: I want to increase my endurance.
* Size: To what extent I want to increase it (I want to be able to walk up the stairs 5 floors without stopping. Or you want to be able to run 30 minutes at a pace slightly)
* Weather: In how long I want to achieve this goal. 2 months, 3 months ...

From this definition of objectives, it will be easier to get them (provided of course, we know how to do to achieve that goal). Important objectives that are realistic and progressive. To do this I need to know where we started. If we have a sedentary lifestyle can not hope to run the half marathon in 1 hour (with a few days of training) or several kilos in weight loss few days.

If we are scoring goals by stages, gradually, not just getting going to go but our motivation to go further.

Vibration Platforms, help you lose weight

As usual, you put an article by Andreu. This time is about vibrating platforms that help you lose weight. The truth is that I have not seen any, but would not hurt to try them. I hope you like the article.

Platforms vibratory

Platform vibratoriaPeriodicamente come on the market new products or "inventions" that help us to improve our quality of life, fitness, lose weight. From creams that mobilize fat, pedal with which to exercise their legs while watching television, from passive gymnastics, electrostimulation, abdominal machines do, the new trends in aerobics (cardiokickboxing, batuka ...), different types of spinning, the new wii-fit and as are not: end brands. Whenever something comes out with the aim to get fit and lose weight with little effort, has successfully secured (at least until the time it is discovered that is not all that glitters gold).

The idea of vibrating platforms is beneficial to reproduce the vibrations we have in normal locomotion (when we travel, walking, running ...). These vibrations are transferred throughout the body have many benefits for the entire skeletal-muscular system.

The operation is not complicated, gets up on the platform and indicates that part of the body you want to work and depending on the machine indicates that this position be taken over the machine to start working.

With vibration, the muscles contract, the pulse rise, increases blood circulation and long-term, reinforcing bony structures, may also increase the waste of calories and raises metabolism.

It is recommended to be at most about 15-20 minutes over the platform.

But nobody takes deception. The vibrations alone do not lose weight. Mobilize fat and that makes it easier (as long as you eat well and exercise regularly), you can lose weight faster.

And it is true that makes your muscles and bones are more reinforced. It gives you a good base to stay.

And now touches a question: What have objective, to stay as I am or trying to improve my physical condition? If I have the first target vibration platforms are a good option to keep my state, but if you want to improve, then I will have to resort to other methods in combination with the platforms.

GIMS Many have already purchased this type of machinery. Personal trainers with their clients use them at the beginning of the session, then perform it and the session itself (toning, cardio ...)

In recent times, due to high demand and the emergence of many manufacturers have dropped prices, but before you buy should reflect if we really needed or not.

Platforms yes, but not a panacea. We never tire of repeating the same: toning, cardio and nutrition. The 3 basic rules. That adds to this is support that we welcome it. And a fourth rule that is often forgotten: the rest. Least 8 hours sleep, makes us better regulate our metabolism and makes your body better assimilate what we in everyday life (food, training ...).

Shoes and sports

As usual, Andreu sent me an article written by him. This article discusses the laces and sport. It is interesting that you read it, then you can address many questions (and misconceptions) that you may have.

The terrible soreness

A lot has been written about the soreness. Why do appear, as do to avoid them, once we have them as we do to reduce your pain ... Many myths have made people believe things that really are not true respect for the laces.

The laces are strong pains that appear after sports or physical activity and prevent us from moving normally. Appear between 12 and 48 hours after sport.

Appear for a number of reasons:

* Make physical activity at an intensity too high.
* Make an activity and some specific movements that my body has never done.
* Exercise training after spending a long time without exercising.
* Do not warm enough before you start playing or coaching.

The laces have is neither good nor bad. It depends. If I wear one months training and doing bicep with a lace-deportemancuerna 5 kilos, at some point I'll have to climb Quilaja so that the body does not stagnate and to improve. If just a month after lifting those 5 kilos, and I do biceps with 7 kilos, that's new for the body. The body must adapt to this new stimulus and logically the next day my body will notice that effort again. In subsequent training my body will adapt and after doing biceps soreness will not have 7 kilos (I have done my body stronger). Therefore in this case will be good to have them. If you're reading this article, for 1 year (for example) that you go to the gym and throughout the year have not ever had soreness is not you force your machine and you should increase the intensity of your training for improvement.

How to reduce your pain?

The most effective way is to redo the same exercise that has given me the laces but less intense and less weight. In the case of the biceps a solution would be to take a dumbbell of 3 kilos and do a few repetitions. If we just stay at home idly can spend a week with soreness. The other way of disappearing overnight.

For those who do not do much sport, start slowly. Many people make the mistake of going one day, crushed everything he can and is two weeks without moving or looking forward to going to the gim. Slowly progressive. No hurry.

And the sugar water is useless. One of the myths that I spoke. It was thought that muscle soreness occurred due to lactic acid crystals and dissolve sugar crystals. Big mistake! Lactic acid disappears two hours after sport. And the laces are well behind, without having anything to do one thing with another.

So you know, it heats before training, progressive intensity and if you have soreness the next day, doing the same exercise but at a lower intensity.

Starting from scratch

All we have had good times, regular times and bad moments in life. If you're in one of the 2 latter cases, maybe your food (and especially, motivation) is being affected by the problems you have.

I bet that one day you feel like eating well, another day you're not hungry and eat anything you find in the fridge and the next you just eat as it was the last time.

Far from continuing this way of eating, you must focus, a plan and stick to it. After that, dial one day in the calendar is the day to start from scratch with your power and put the definitive course towards your ideal weight.

Charting the ideal plan

We are very forgetful, so the first thing to do is grab a piece of paper and start writing our plan, so that we consult if one day we started to wander again.

In this plan, you must put questions as:

* What should I do to lose weight? (diet are going to continue, the exercise you're doing, etc).
* What schedule will I follow for meals? (the 5 main meals of the day).
* How long do I have to lose those pounds? (Be realistic and put on a long-term).
* When can I eat a whim? (of this I would like to talk in future posts).

The perfect day to start

Once drawn the plan, you should mark a day to begin without an excuse. It can be a Monday, one day you start with a vacation or just after Christmas day. That day should be relatively close, ie, do not make that day for another 6 months because then the motivation will disappear. I would say that, at best, would be prowling a week or so.

Until that day comes, come as you see fit, but be aware that you are in the final days of your "former life" and that will be the last days that you will not pay attention to your diet. All that will change soon because you know it has to.

Get to it!

The perfect day comes, begin it with joy. Grab your list just get up and read it to not forget anything. This list will be part of your life and you have to know it by heart, with your diet, your exercise schedule, your planned diet and days that are going to give you a whim.

From that day, stop being such a careless person who just watched what he ate and you will become a new "I" to watch your diet and will lose weight week after week, month by month, gradually, without haste and head.

Since that day, start your new life, with each passing day be healthier than the last, and where the negative thoughts about food will not have room in your head. You're going to take a radical change to the way you eat, and what you will notice that much on clothes and in your way of being. You'll be younger, leaner, better looking and more sure of yourself. Is not a cause for rejoicing every day? I think so.

Empty calories: Avoid them at all cost

In the field of nutrition is the concept of "empty calories". There is plenty of "food" (I put in quotes because of the low nutritional value) that we should avoid if we want to lose weight.

These foods do not provide us anything, maybe a momentary pleasure because they tend to be very tempting. I'm not saying that you can not eat occasionally, but better if we leave for special occasions and not for our daily diet.

Examples of foods with empty calories

The first thing it comes to your mind is alcohol. I do not mean a glass of wine or a beer at lunchtime, I mean things such as whiskey or gin.

Beer and wine are good drinks for the circulatory system (certainly more than once I have heard on TV), but a gin and tonic, will not add anything positive to our body, unless, as I said before, is that cooling power it has. Although, who refuses to take 2 or 3 at a party with friends, but you know, those days do not count 

The second is all kinds of bakery products. They contain so much sugar and trans fats better left aside. While it is true that some of these cakes contain other elements that we can feed (protein, fiber, etc.), the percentage it represents is tiny.

Finally, another clear example of food with empty calories are the goodies. They are 100% sugar, and surely you can not eat just one. So better not try them on days you do diet, since, among other things, they certainly triggers your hungry (as I wrote in this article on carbohydrates and hunger).

So all these "foods" better separate them from the diet. Anyway, if you are very hungry, or occasionally you want to take a rum and Coke, of course you can do, but on days off in which recharges batteries to restart the diet the next day. Meanwhile, focus on what you eat, nothing more.

You can also try losing weight with the Fat Burning Furnace program. I highly recommend it, for more information Click Here!

5 steps to reestablish your metabolism

In my life I have done many foolish things to lose weight. All that stuff had a common denominator, and it was the lack of information.

There have been periods where I ate very poorly, and still believed he was doing well and that this was going to lose weight properly.

It is true that while losing weight short term, ultimately it has not done more harm.

These bad decisions (made, as I say, for lack of information) are those that should prevent anyone who was first put on a diet. What I have read and, above all, experience has shown me that following these simple tips, not only lose weight properly, it is possible that if you are starting to cost thin, turn up the wick from burning fat Again, accelerating your metabolism.

Steps to start accelerating your metabolism

The first step is easy. Just have a breakfast.

Do not go to the office with a coffee in the body with the excuse of saying "I'm not hungry in the morning" or "no time for breakfast. Get up a little earlier, get a healthy breakfast and eat it. This is the mistake I've done for many years, and is the error that has made me more damage, since no breakfast makes your metabolism still go on sleeping, even though we stay a couple of hours awake.


Second step, do not skip meals.

You have to eat 5 or 6 times a day. Not worth skipping breakfast and then have a snack. Eat while you're not hungry, but do it. Years befor I just ate too much for lunch and dinner. Now I distribute meals, and so I spend most of the day without hunger.

Third step (and this is a continuation of above), eat the amount of food that you eat no more, no less.

I remember when I had a season in which boiled beans dined alone, was awful. And worst of all, I thought I was doing well! Do not feed me enough, and this made my metabolism began to unbalanced. Therefore, follow the diet you follow, do not get no food. Eat everything you share in the appropriate amount, and if you do not like what's there, bite the bullet and do eat i!

Fourth step, drink water before you get thirsty.

This is essential to avoid dehydration, drink water before you get thirsty. Before I simply take two or three glasses of water a day. Now I take the bottle every time I sit on the computer, and every so often I take a sip of water.

Fifth step, guess what? Get some exercise.

During my adolescence I did not do a single day of exercise, while my classmates were all athletes. This really hurt me because if I had exercised a young man, would have gained a lot of muscle mass and now have another type of constitution. Fortunately, this is very changeable and, now that I have a few more years, I used to get some exercise, which comes like pearls to me. But it is clear that if I were asked a good advice to lose weight, this would be my favorite.

Of course, if you have any more advice, you could put it in the comments. Perhaps some include it in my daily routine.

In case you can't do it by yourself, my recommended product for your metabolism is this one:
