Building Personal Exercise Habits for Life

As most of us know exercising is a crucial part of staying healthy, along with eating a healthy diet. However, variety is key in both cases. You might love potatoes, but if you have those same type of potatoes every night they start to get boring and you don't want them anymore. The same is true for exercise. If you don't vary your routine then you can become bored and just give up. Also, by staying to a fixed routine your muscles become used to doing the same thing over and over again, much like muscle memory.

The idea of switching your routine is used very frequently with many successful workout tapes and guides. If you can't think of one of the top of your head just remember P90X. The same concept is used in P90X, they call it muscle confusion. It focuses on varying the routine so your muscles don't adjust to one routine. This way your muscles are challenged and you can actually work more efficiently.

Also, something to remember is that you shouldn't focus on the same muscle groups everyday. Try to switch up your workout so you give specific muscle groups 2 days to rest. For example if you worked out your arms and back one day do your core the next day. Then the day after your core work your legs. This lets your muscle groups rest and repair.

Well if you're sitting there not knowing what you can do to vary up your routine don't worry. There are different types of exercises you can do. If you love running, that's great, but try to do some strength training as well.

Aerobic exercise can feature a vast number of exercises. Jogging for example is an aerobic exercise. The main goal of aerobics is to get your heart to really start working. By doing this the amount of oxygen in your blood will improve. Also exercise has been known to release things like endorphins which are your bodies natural painkillers. Additionally, your immune system should receive a boost and your blood will pump much more efficiently. Also, you will begin to see an increase in your overall stamina.

Interval training has been proven to condition your heart and burn fat more efficiently then just jogging or walking. Try some sprints with gentle recovery periods. You will notice you will be saving more time by doing interval training, but still see results. Interval training is also a great way to really improve your cardiovascular fitness and fat-burning abilities.

Next is my personal favorite type of training, strength training. Make sure you include some sort of strength training into your normal exercise program. The goal is to really exhaust your muscles. Right to the point when you can feel your muscles screaming to stop, but you've just got to pump out one more rep. Don't hurt yourself doing this though, waiting for injuries to heal isn't fun.

Finally, we move onto core exercises. These are probably my worst area of fitness. I personally have never liked core exercises, but that probably has something to do with the fact that I've never really had good core muscles. However, core muscles are probably some of the most important muscles to work. They provide the building blocks for movement and help protect parts of your body. Also, building core muscles can help increase your balance and stability, for all you sports fans or the extra clumsy.

Exercising regularly is key to keeping one healthy. Many people don't remember that and I think that's why they don't get motivated. If you want to have abs then go workout. It won't just magically happen overnight. You need to be determined, you need to want it, you need to stay focused. Working out isn't easy, but it definitely can be fun. Try to enjoy yourself. Find someone to go to the gym with. This might help keep you going back to the gym and staying on track.

If you're still not convinced how about these reasons why exercise can improve your health.

5 Warning Signs Men Shouldn't Ignore


Well let us get straight to the point here, men are stubborn. It is hard for some of us to admit it, but it is very true. Men tend to avoid going to the doctor if they experience some... well let's say some sort of discomfort or irregularity. Women on the other hand tend to go to the doctor as soon as they get something like a headache or a stomach ache, well maybe not exactly like that, but they tend to visit the doctor if they notice something that is irregular and could pose a health threat.

Men (yes, myself included), don't really like going to the hospital very much and tend to put off some very troubling warning signs. The problem is the more macho you are (or the more macho you act) the less likely you are to go to the hospital. However, many men experience some warning signs that can be dangerous even fatal in some cases.

1. Chest pain: Well this would seem like a pretty obvious sign that basically comes out with a baseball bat and hits you saying "GO TO THE DOCTOR, RIGHT NOW!!!" However, the truth of the matter is that any men decide to just ignore it. Chest pain can be a sign of heart attack so next time you should probably get it checked out.

2. A big belly: It is true that when men get in relationships and/or get married they tend to put on a few pounds, but a big belly may be a sign of something else. Belly fat could indicate that a man has low testosterone levels, and low testosterone can increase the risk of diabetes and coronary artery disease.


3. An unenthusiastic penis: Yes, impotence can just be purely psychological, but it also could be a sign that a man has cardiovascular disease. If the arteries that supply blood to the penis aren't working properly, those that supply blood to the heart and brain might not be working so well either. Men that have erectile dysfunction should try to talk to their doctors about more than getting that little blue pill.

4. More frequent urination: frequent urination may be a sign of prostatitis, or inflammation of the prostate gland. If you get up in the middle of the night to urinate, especially more than once then you might want to tell your doctor about it.


5. Prescription drug addiction: Some people that get hooked to prescription medication don't even realize they are addicted, and once you get addicted it is probably a pretty good indicator that you should stop. Addiction to anything can be very serious, but when you start popping Vicoden like Pez from a Pez dispenser (Much like Dr. House from the television show that shares the same name) then you should hopefully know you've got a problem.

5 Reasons Why You Should Drink Coffee


For those that are much like me and love their cup of coffee whenever they can get it, there are many positive benefits of drinking that cup of what I like to call, pure "awesomeness."

1. Helps prevent brain illnesses such as, Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, and dementia. Numerous studies have shown that caffeine helps in the protection from brain diseases. A study conducted by the Harvard School of Public Health showed that the moderate consumption of caffeine cut the risk of developing Parkinson's disease in half!

2. Protects against diabetes. That's right, drinking coffee helps prevent diabetes type 2, the type of diabetes where the body tissues actually become resistant to insulin. A study from the Archives of Internal Medicine found that women who drank 6 or more cups of coffee a day were 22% less likely to develop type 2 diabetes than women who drank no coffee at all.

3. Coffee contains antioxidants. Antioxidants help prevent cell damage, which is related to the process of aging. However, this cell damage is also tied to many forms of cancer. German researchers found a potent antioxidant compound in coffee that appears to boost phase 2 enzymes, which are believed to prevent colon cancer, the second leading cause of cancer death in the United States.

4. Coffee reduces the risk of eye spasms that lead to blindness. A study published in the Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery and Psychiatry showed that coffee may reduce the risk of the eye disorder blepharospasm, which can lead to blindness. Current treatments for the disorder are botox injections, or the surgical removal of eyelid nerves. However, the study found that patients who drank two or more cups of coffee a day could prevent the onset of the eye disorder by 1.7 years for every extra cup they drank.

5. Coffee reduces muscle pain. A study published in the Journal of Pain, showed that drinking coffee can reduced muscle pain after a workout quite significantly. In fact, two cups of coffee were found to reduce muscle pain by up to 48%!
