  • Pumping Iron: Here are 4 Reasons to Do it

    Pumping Iron – 4 Reasons Why You Should Be doing it.

    Pumping Iron
    Danielle Cerullo

    Pumping iron, or strength training refers to exercises like weight lifting, leg presses and dumbbell routines. These exercises get progressively more difficult as you advance your program.

    The idea of exercising with weights is to break down the muscles so that they rebuild themselves bigger and stronger. Many people ignore weight training in favor of pure cardio because they assume that strength training is just for those who want to build bigger muscles, however they are wrong.

    There are many other benefits to pumping iron.

    1) Build and maintain muscles

    To begin with, strength training builds and maintaining muscle tone. It is by far the best way to do it. As a matter of fact, in order to build muscle effectively, you need to perform exercises that are intense enough to break down the fibers in your muscles. Only then, your body will rebuild stronger muscles. Over time, it leads to muscle growth. Additionally, only weightlifting exercises are intense enough to lead to actual muscle growth.

    Even if you do not want to build muscles, pumping iron will maintain existing muscle mass. Hence, it is great for older people, who lose muscle mass as they age.

    2) Boost energy levels and feel great

    Lifting weights raises energy levels and improves your mood. Because it is so intense, it releases endorphins in the brain which in turn boost energy levels. People often talk about a “runner’s high” for long-distance runners. Well, the same thing happens when pumping iron.

    4) Improve bone health

    In the same way it keeps your muscles healthy, it also keeps your skeletal system healthy. With age, bones lose density. Eventually, this will turn into a serious issue. Additionally, bone density losses start as early as age 30. Training with weights will keep your bone’s density at a healthy level.

    5) Pumping Iron is good for the heart

    Finally, it benefits the cardiovascular system as well. It really gets your blood pumping. Likewise, it keeps cholesterol levels low and blood pressure stabilized. While it may not be a pressing concern when you are younger, taking steps to improve your cardiovascular health at an early age will help you later on in life to achieve wellness.

  • Female Weight Loss, Take Control and Do It

    Female Weight Loss – It is All About Being in Control

    Female Weight Loss
    Trent Szmolnik

    Understanding why some women are overweight must be done by determining the common denominators all overweight women share. Habits such as sedentary lifestyle, stress and impulse eating are but some of the culprits.

    How much you weigh depends on several factors.

    First of all, any female weight loss advice must begin with an analysis of how much and what kind of foods you eat. Most women who are not trying to lose weight should get around 1600 calories a day. But not all calories are created equal. 100 calories worth of green beans with almond slivers are a whole different ball game from 100 calories worth of Hershey’s chocolate with almonds. In addition to the calories, you need to look at the nutrients, fiber, and fat content.

    Female Weight Loss begins with eating less.

    But, most women get more calories than they need to maintain their weight. Poor impulse control is one of the reasons. There are just too many calories available. Underestimating just how many calories is in food. Serving sizes have exploded but people still count the calories as if they were the traditional smaller servings. Count every calorie accurately. Eat less and lose weight.

    Look honestly at your lifestyle.

    If your lifestyle includes a lot of activity, you are less likely to be worried about losing weight. However, if you live a highly sedentary life, you probably are packing on the pounds. Look for ways to move more. This doesn’t have to mean hitting the gym either. For housewives, playing with the kids, mopping floors and gardening are all excellent kinds of movement. For people with active careers, using stairs instead of elevators, or walking one extra bus stop before going home will do the trick.

    What you consume and how many calories you burn off are directly under your control. On the other hand,  factors outside of your control impact your weight as well. For instance, your genetic make up has a lot to do with whether you get fat. Fast or slow metabolism tends to run in families and it is typical to see entire families of fat or skinny people.

    Still, achieving wellness must be done by being proactive. Adjust your lifestyle, find a plan that works for you and follow it to reach fitness.

    Age also has an impact on your weight. As you tend to burn calories more slowly as you age. Keep your weight under control. And, it is important to do so for the sake of your health. Heart disease, cancer, and diabetes are all linked with weight issues.

    Finally, the state of your general health can play a role in losing weight. Some medications cause weight gain. And, some physical conditions limit mobility which means that you  burn less calories.

    Finally, the key to female weight loss is setting achievable goals and sticking to the plan.
