Gym Vs Cardio

Blog
First and Foremost, decide what your Fitness Goals are. Then, you need to choose from among various Fitness Protocols, which one would best suit you, to attain your Specific Goals.

Can treadmill running alone increase running stamina?

Can treadmill running alone increase running stamina?

Blog
Yes. Treadmill Running and Road Running have some differences, but in many instances, they are the same. Road Running, would provide more variations in terms of where you can run. Treadmill would be quite monotonous for obvious reasons. On the Treadmill, it would be easier to program for different running surfaces…such as plain running, hill running with differing slopes (difficulty levels) etc. For Running Outside, it would take effort to find different running surfaces and also then, need to get to these differing locations. During Extreme Weather Conditions, such as too much heat, too cold and such, it is advantageous to use the Treadmill. Other than these, it shouldn’t make a difference if you are running outside or are using the treadmill. In both cases, a good running (training) program,…

Is our daily routine exertion equivalent to workout?

Is our daily routine exertion equivalent to workout?

Blog
The answer is Definitely NOT. Well, for each of us, our Daily Routine Exertions are Different. Depends upon our Lifestyle, Depends upon our Work, Depends upon how Fit we are to begin with. However, no amount of Strenuous Daily Routines are a Replacement for Working out. Let me Clarify. If you are doing the Same Routines every day, your body is already Adjusted/Adapted to them. So, if you are in a labor job that needs you to lift 50 bags of cement every day…granted this is Strenuous. Still your body gets Adapted to this…so you do get Fit and Strong to a Certain Extent…and Remain that way. This is because, your body does Not Have a Reason to get Fitter/Stronger, than you already are. This is where the Advantages of…

Brief discussion on supplement’s

Brief discussion on supplement’s

Blog
You might not like my answer, but here it is: Supplements are just that… They are there to SUPPLEMENT your Regular Food Intake… They are NOT a REPLACEMENT. So, my question to you is…have you maxed out on Protein Intake with your Regular Food? Good Quality Protein from you Daily Regular Food Intake is Cheaper and has No Side Effects. My Recommendations to you are: 1. Eat a good amount of Quality Protein with EVERY MEAL 2. Do NOT SKIP ANY MEAL 3. Do NOT SKIP BREAKFAST (I know…) 4. Dietary Fat will NOT make you Fat… Avoid the Trans Fat variety 5. You also need a reason for your body to get Stronger / Grow Muscle. A well structured Strength Training program, which has Progressive Overload and Linear Progression…

Tips to increase the sprinting speed

Tips to increase the sprinting speed

Blog
1. Sprinting is ENTIRELY different from Long Distance Running.  You’ll, therefore, need to get stronger as this will definitely develop your muscles to aid you in increasing your sprint speeds. 2. Strength Exercises such as the Squat, the Deadlift, the (Overhead) Press, the Benchpress and Chinups should help you get Stronger. 3. Do NOT look at this separately as those Exercises that Develop specific parts of the body. You need to look for Compound Exercises (mentioned above), that work your Entire Body. 4. As obvious as this sounds, you need to discuss with a Qualified Sprint Coach to work out a proper Sprint Training Program, that will help you Increase your Sprinting Speeds, and will need to diligently follow the program, while Continually working with your Spring Coach. There are…

Most Effective Natural Fat Burners with Energy

Most Effective Natural Fat Burners with Energy

Blog
Well, as far as Natural Fat Burners are concerned, let’s look at it from the point of view of 1) Food 2) Eating Habits 3) Active Lifestyle ——————— 1) Food… a) Go easy (eat in less quantities) Carbohydrates, especially simple carbohydrates. White Rice, Wheat, Flours etc are all simple carbohydrates… Meaning, they get digested very quickly…leading to Spurts in Blood Sugar Levels. This IMMEDIATELY, therefore, causes the Pancreas to produce INSULIN, whose function is to REMOVE the excess Blood Sugar from the blood and Place it into cells which store sugar and use them for energy requirements. The issue with INSULIN (from a body weight perspective) is that, it is a FAT STORAGE hormone. So, the more INSULIN…the more you store as FAT. b) If on the other hand, you…
