Exercising has proven to decrease these diseases so if you have any of these health problems, exercising may help control or improve your symptoms.

Around 80% of deaths caused by cancer and heart disease, are in some way linked to factors that include stress and lack of exercise. Diabetes also increases the chance for heart attacks and strokes. The point I’m getting at is not exercising is working in partnership in risk factors to damaging your health.

Scientific research all over the world has proven that physical exercise contributes to losing weight. Whenever you exercise, you burn calories and the more you exercise the more weight or fat you will lose. This equates to if you burn more than you consume you will lose weight.

By being physically active it helps you feel better it improves your self esteem, lowers your stress and boosts your mood, helps your heart and lungs work better, helps build healthy bones, muscles, and joints and also helps control blood pressure and blood sugar.

You can exercise anywhere be it at home the gym it does not matter as long as you are exercising. Personally after I exercise I feel great at first when you exercise you can feel lethargic but when you get into it you will be amazed with what you can achieve and how it makes you feel. Once you exercise for a period of time you will come to a stage that you can go beyond the limit you thought was possible when you first started.

Reasons To Exercise

Pilates Certification

If you would like to work in one of the many Pilates studios, fitness clubs, therapeutic clinics, or simply as a personal trainer the main thing you should focus on is getting certified from a reputable Pilates training facility. There are many training institution that offer certification course in Pilates. You would need to attend hundreds of hours of lectures, training, and apprentice work before you are considered qualified for a rigorous written and practical examination.

Every student is required to have studied the anatomy and must be a certified fitness professional or licensed rehabilitation practitioner to be able to even try to get a Pilates certification. All qualified Pilates instructors must attend continual education classes which are required in order to maintain certification status throughout the length of their instructing and training career.

Many of the most recognized Pilates training institutions include the Physical Mind Institute, The Pilates Studio, Polestar Education, and Stott Pilates. The majority of the courses offered are through their massive network of affiliated studios or fitness clubs.

The Pilates Studio has eleven course locations all over the world and teaches Authentic Pilates, which are true to the original forms, techniques, and sequences that were developed by Joseph Pilates. It is also affiliated with the Pilates Guild which is a non profit organization that is dedicated to preserving Joseph Pilates’ personal achievements through his work.

The beginning phase of the curriculum involves a series of seminars on the beginner, intermediate, and advanced exercised that are performed on the mat and equipment. The second phase involves a six-hundred hour apprenticeship program working side by side with a Pilates Guild certified instructor. The exams are required after each phase and must be fully completed within one year. The cost of the entire program is around $4,000.

Getting your certification is only the beginning. Pilates’ exercises have been getting more attention and devotion from people all over the world. The introduction to the American Population began in 1910 and has been practiced by millions of Americans since that day. When Pilates was first introduced it began with springs attached to hospital beds and became his first Pilates’ Machine.

Since that day almost a century ago the Pilates’ techniques and machines have improved drastically and become much more efficient. Pilates had many personal students who continued his teachings.

If your Pilates certification facts are out of date then it may drastically affect your students. Be sure to not let important Pilates’ information go in one ear and out the other. You owe it to the people you are instructing and the Pilates’ name to know exactly what you are doing to help them achieve the maximum results.

Hybrid Training

I have written in the past about the need to regularly change your program variables (every 2 -3 weeks) including:

  • Repetitions – number of times you complete the movement

  • Sets – a group of repetitions together

  • Time under tension (eccentric - lowering phase/concentric – lifting phase/ isometric – holding weight statically)
  • Intensity

  • Speed of movement

  • Exercise type

  • Exercise order

Today I want to share with you an exciting alternative called hybrid training to spice up your workouts. These are more advance techniques and as always form is essential. So if you are new to training I recommend a postural and movement assessment to determine if you have any imbalances that need to be first addressed and corrected. Additionally being already familiar with the single exercises (e.g. bench press, bicep curl etc) is a prerequisite. Many experienced gym users may be familiar with some of these techniques, possibly giving them another name.

The term Hybrid Training was coined by Dr. Mel Siff, a leading trainer who began using it with his athletes, then bodybuilding clients, then everyday gym users with equal success. Hybrid Training combines two or more separate movements with a single weight or item of apparatus in one exercise. Hybrid exercises involve several joints of the body moving through a greater range of motion than is normal with single exercises (1).

Hybrid Training offers the following advantages:

· Greater variety of muscle groups used in a shorter time

· Greater range of joint movement used

· Prevention to a single muscle group overloading and subsequently leading to imbalance

· Strength, speed and suppleness are combined in a training session

· Avoidance of any mental and physical stagnation

· Avoidance of one movement pattern overloads (e.g. pushing)

· Increased blood flow to all the muscles which control a particular series of joint movements

· Workouts are time efficient (1)

There are various ways to implement Hybrid Training:

1. Alternating repetitions

· First rep narrow grip bench press (emphasizing triceps) followed immediately by a wide grip press (emphasizing chest) and repeat for desired repetitions.

2. Hybrid sets

Pre-exhaust one body part before moving on to another as shown in the examples below (DB – Dumbell):

· Reps 1-5: DB Press; 6-10: DB Curl, 11-15: Side DB Raise

· Reps 1-5: DB Flyes; 6-10: DB Pullovers: 11-15: DB Bench Press

· Reps 1-5: Narrow grip bench press; 6 -10: Wide grip bench press

· Reps 1-5: DB squats; 6-10: Overhead press

· Reps 1-5: Front DB Raises; 6-10: Side DB Raises, 11-15: Back DB Raises

3. Hybrid repetitions

Here one movement follows directly the next:· DB Squat to bicep curl to shoulder press

· DB Squat to side DB raise

· DB Lunge to bicep curl to press

· DB Lunge to triceps kickback

Rules to Hybrid Training

1. A weight must be chosen which will not impose excessive strain on the muscles involved in the weakest movement in each sequence.

2. You are only limited by your imagination

3. When choosing specific exercises I highly recommend addressing your current muscle imbalances and balancing workouts to correct them (if unsure seek advice from a certified trainer experienced in postural assessment and programs).

I hope this has provided further insights and inspiration into your next program.

Walking - Why You Should Be Getting Back To Basics

“Walking is man’s best medicine”
Hippocrates

Sometimes we forget the basics. For many people returning to exercise after a long hiatus can be a painful experience. Shocking the body through intense running, weight training and sport can result in a short term comeback. So what’s the best way to get started? I believe it’s through daily walking.

Listed below are some of the physical, mental, financial, environmental, and other benefits to regular walking:

Physical Health
• Increases metabolism. According to leading holistic health practitioner Paul Chek hundreds of calorie-burning muscles are utilized by walking through the integrated use of our arms, legs and torso. Walking briskly on a daily basis not only results in the burning of calories, it increases enzyme activity and other metabolic activity. Eherenfried Pfeiffer, famous nutritionist and biochemist, suggests that walking as little as two miles may result in increased calorie consumption for up to 12 hours post movement. (3)

• Improves body shape. Walking transforms bodies not only through consuming more calories but also by improving the body’s ability to digest, assimilate, eliminate waste products and detoxify, especially if water consumption has increased.

• Improvement in overall sense of health and wellbeing. Regular walking reduces the risk of Cardiovascular Disease by up to 50%. Studies have found that walking regularly over a long period of time can reduce your risk of stroke, diabetes and osteoporosis and is useful in treating arthritis, high blood pressure and even depression.

• It’s low impact. Running can result in up to 10 times the body’s weight bearing down on the joints particularly the poor old knees, hips and lower back.

• Decreases the risk of developing muscle waste, osteoporosis, and related fractures. Walking reduces the risk of hip fracture by up to 50% in women. (1)
Mental Health

• Enhances mental clarity and mood.

• Walking allows a time for reflection and is one of the most effective methods of relaxation.

Financial benefits
• Walking is free. It only requires a good pair of walking shoes, which in some places like on a clean beach is not even necessary.

• More walking could save £7 billion off the National Health Bill (Countryside Agency 2002) (3)

• Save money on fuel and maintenance costs for those short trips

Environmental advantages
• Walk for cleaner air. Transport emissions are already a major contributor to the greenhouse effect.

Walking also:
• Is achievable and realistic. Walking can be easily integrated into most people’s lives. By walking to the station, shops, up the stairs - it all adds up!

• Is easy. Walking is one of the most primal movement patterns and is what our body was built for. So no need to take classes as Nike say’s “Just do it”.

• Is fun. Try Spending your weekends wandering cities or the countryside with family and friends.

For those getting back into exercise here is a 10-week downloadable walking programme:

10 Reasons to Start Rebounding

“…for similar levels of heart rate and oxygen consumption, the magnitude of the biomechanical stimuli is greater with jumping on a rebounder trampoline than with running, a finding that might help identify acceleration parameters needed for the design of remedial procedures to avert deconditioning in persons exposed to weightlessness.”
N.A.S.A., Journal of Applied Physiology 49 (5): 881-887

“The mini trampoline [rebounder] provides a convenient form of exercise with a major advantage being its apparent low level of trauma to the musculoskeletal system.”
Journal of Cardiopulmonary Rehabilitation, 1990: 10; 401-408

Previously I have written about the need for a synergy in achieving optimal health (including fat loss) by maintaining/or building those metabolism furnaces (muscle mass), performing cardio in moderation to effectively transfer nutrients throughout the body and having supportive nutrition and lifestyle habits.

Here’s a novel way to perform cardio exercise especially for those living in a cold climate and stuck indoors at the moment - Rebounding.

Rebounding involves using a mini-trampoline to jog, twist or step walk on the spot. The benefits of rebounding have been well documented by many professionals in rehabilitation and conditioning.

Dr. James White, director of research and rehabilitation at the University of California, believes it is more effective for fitness and weight loss than jogging or cycling while producing fewer injuries.(3)

Here are 10 reasons to start Rebounding:

1. Stress reduction
Increasing endorphin output has a stabilizing effect on the nervous system through. Increased oxygen flow increases our sense of well being without the toxic side effects of narcotics or anti-depressants.

2. Improved oxygen levels
This leads to an increase in physical and mental efficiency.

3. Detoxification
Today a good detox is an essential component to any wellbeing program. Rebounding helps clear the lymph glands and loosen the toxins within the subdermal portion of the skin in the body, and finally through perspiration the body can remove toxins including heavy metals and cellular waste.

4.Stimulates healing
A superior exercise for those that are immune compromised including cancer and MS. Rebounding increases white blood cell count, providing a greater defense system to destroy cancer.

5.Economical
A single Rebounder can provide years of daily exercise. It is convenient for those that are homebound, unable to jog or access a gym.

6.Efficient
It is readily portable (folds and fits into its own travel case) and stores neatly out of the way. Great for apartment, home, trailer dwellers or travelers. One can rebound all year round - indoors or outdoors, rain or shine.

7.Effective
Six minutes of rebounding equals one mile of jogging. One can run several miles in place while rehearsing a speech, singing, talking on the phone, watching TV, listening to music, or while jumping outdoors enjoying “helio” or sun therapy.

8.Stimulates neural activity
Medical journalist Dr. Morton Walker notes, when you move and exercise, you engage every brain and body cell. Disabled Children exhibiting a poor sense of rhythm, coordination and balance have been shown to benefit through improving the mind/body connection.

9.Pain relief
Increasing circulation and oxygen flow has a natural analgesic effect on the body.

10.Lowers blood pressure, triglycerides, and cholesterol naturally
By increasing oxygenation and dilating the blood vessels for smoother and easier transport through the circulatory system. (1) (2)

3 Simple Overlooked Steps To 6 Pack, Ripped Abs

Step. 1 Why all the 30,50, 75 reps of abs crunches per, reverse crunches, or oblique crunches per set? I bet your back hurts from performing that many reps doesn’t it?

Try training your abdominals using loaded reps of 12, 15, and even 20 reps. You see, the abdominal muscles are predominantly phasic(fast twitch) muscles. They respond better to loaded reps.

Try using 2-3 sets of the above reps, and feel what happens to your abdominals. You should literally feel them tighten up. Provided though, that you follow steps 2 and 3.

Step. 2 Don’t over train your abdominals. Again, what would your triceps feel and look like if you trained them everyday? Your abdominals then are no different.

One day you can train lower abs. Ex. Hanging Leg Raises.(Provided your lower abdominals are coordinated and firing right. This is a topic for another article) Another day you can train your obliques. Ex. Cable Wd Chops. Then on the 3rd day you can train your upper abdominals. Ex. Swiss Ball Db Crunch.

Training your abs this way will allow each section to recover and develop into a sheath of rock hard muscle! Provided though that you follow step 3.

Step.3 Perform interval training to burn more fat that surrounds your midsection. Since there is no such thing as spot reduction, interval training is a sure way to burn the fat that surrounds your midsection.

Your metabolic rate will be increased for several hours after interval training to. Why wouldn’t you want this? Talk about efficient training! Talk about those abs starting to appear again!

Think of interval training as the chisel the sculptor(us) uses to give the sculpture(our body) the defining look of excellence.

You are probably saying, what the heck are you talking about?! It’s true though. Look at interval training as that. The tool to give you the polished, ripped, set of 6 pack abs you seek.

Happy sculpting!:-)

The BEST Ab Exercise!

“How do I get rid of THIS?” That is one of my favorite questions. As a personal trainer, I hear this on a regular basis. The person asking is usually patting or poking at their protruding belly as they look to me for the miracle answer to melting away the fat and turning their tummy into a lean mean six pack.

So what is the answer to this question? Which exercise is the best for transforming the flab into fabulous abs. Every time you visit the grocery store you see magazines claiming to have found the ultimate ab machine or exercise, is there any truth to it? Maybe it is the “crunch”, or perhaps “the plank”. Could it be the “bicycle” that will give you a rippling six pack? The answer is, none of the above.

Here’s the deal, we all have six pack abs. That’s right, even you! Just because you can’t see the muscles doesn’t mean that they aren’t there. The problem isn’t that these muscles don’t exist, it’s that the majority of people can’t see them because they are covered by a layer (or several layers!) of fat. When you perform your preferred abdominal exercises, whether it be crunches, planks, bicycles etc. you are strengthening the muscles underneath the fat, you aren’t burning the fat that is covering the muscles. You can perform these crunches till you are blue in the face but you will never see your six pack unless you burn off the fat that is hiding them in the first place!

So what is the BEST ab exercise? When someone asks me this question in the gym, I love to give them a big grin and point to the treadmill. Truth be told, the keys to uncovering your hidden six pack are plenty of cardiovascular exercise and a consistent healthy and clean nutrition plan.

Your cardiovascular exercise can come in many shapes and forms including walking, jogging, biking, swimming, stair climbing, etc. The best cardio exercise for you is the one that you enjoy. It is important to find an activity that you like to do so that you will stick to it! A clean nutrition plan will include lots of fruits and veggies, lean meats such as chicken turkey or fish, healthy carbohydrates from whole grain sources and good for you fats.

Keep in mind as you begin your journey to a trim waist line that there is no such thing as spot reduction. As you start eating healthier and exercising more your body fat will start to decrease, but there is no way to tell your body, “take the fat from my belly!”. Every body is different, perhaps your thighs or arms will trim down before you see results in your abdominal area. Just remember to stick with it! Consistency is the key to ultimately achieving your fitness goals.

There is no miracle exercise for revealing your fab abs…. Sorry. Crunches, planks and all the other exercises are fantastic for keeping your abdominals strong, but if you ever want to see those muscles you’ve got to eat right and get in plenty of cardio! Developing healthy eating and exercise habits which you can maintain for the long term is the only way to reveal your six pack, and keep it uncovered for life!

How to Double Your Pull Ups

A friend of mine was struggling to increase his pull up numbers. After 2 months of dedicated work he was stuck at a jaw dropping 3 reps.

After a lot of sweat and frustration he came to me and asked “How can I increase the number of pull ups that I can do so I can have a killer back workout?”

I had an ace up my sleeve on this one because I had the same problem when I first started.

So we sat down and this is what I told him to do.

The next time you do pull ups, I want you to do as many as possible without pushing your muscles to failure.

Well that will only be 2 pull ups; I max out at 3, he interrupted.

Now hold on let me finish.

You are not going to them the regular way of doing them, which is grabbing the chin up bar and cranking out as many as you can. You will do them using a walking up a step method.

1. First you do 1 pull up.
2. Drop to your feet and rest for 30 seconds
3. Do 2 pull ups (your max is 3 reps so stop at 2 reps)
4. Drop to your feet and rest for 30 seconds.

5. Then start the cycle over again

Remember to make sure you do one less rep than you feel like you can do. So if you feel strong enough to only do 3 then stop at 2.

Do this every other day and let me know in a month how this is working.

After 3 weeks of using this method his pull up numbers went from 3 to 9.

Explode Your Strength Using Resistance Training Without Making Your Body Bulky

Have you ever thought or daydream about having a more powerful and a simply stunning body? You can achieve such results by getting up on your feet now and start working out the resistance training way.

If you have seen exercises that work the muscles properly by including the use of weights, machines and even one’s own body weight then you are most likely to be looking at resistance training in action.

Some people calls it strength training or weight training and this techniques are very effective in shaping a healthier body.

Usually training method like this is used by athletes who need to build up their bodies. So it is no surprise that many people would assume that when resistance training is executed, the body will grow larger.

The truth is that it will not become that way at all.

It is the strength of the body that will rise and not the muscle size whenever resistance training is applied.

This methods can be trained by anyone since what it does is to build and tone the body’s muscle thus giving it a more pleasing look.

Even the senior citizens can be allowed into this program. This group of people will undergo training steps that are suitable for them like standing free-weights resistance or the medium intensity seated machine training.

Bench press, dumbbell or barbell are some of the many workout equipments and machines that is associated with a resistance training program.

When such equipment is used, the muscle is put to the challenge against those weight.

By adapting to the extra weight, the cells of the body will then result to hypertrophy or the expanding and increasing of the nerve cells to assist with the muscle contraction.

It is a good practice to first consult with your doctor before commencing any form of resistance training. This is especially important for people who are diagnosed with any medical conditions or are overweight.

Take note that this kind of program is not one of those thing that you can delve into on your own. The knowledge of getting the proper equipment according to the needs of your body is essential.

Another crucial aspect to consider is to have your body conditioned initially before you start working with the weights.

Although the weights provide great leverage for your workout sessions, resistance training can also be achieved without applying those equipments.

Push-up is one wonderful example because it can be done at any place as long as you have enough space for movement. In this case, your muscles are being challenged by you own body mass.

The various benefits of resistance training are as follow.

Throughout your resistance training program, the bones are consistently remodeling. What this mean is that the muscle tissues break down at the very same moment they build up.

The peak of this modifying process occurs during puberty but as you grow older there may be issues with the bone mineral density since the remodeling may not be as functioning as before. Post-menopausal women will experience this problem more apparently.

Bone mineral density is mostly backed by the hormones.

To solve the issue of the lack of hormones to keep up the bone mineral density, physical workout is the option to take with resistance training as one type of activity that you can consider as a solution.

Resistance training program will produce strong bones and muscles as long as you commit to the workout.

When your body can perform the exercises with considerable amount of weight, your capabilities to tackle a more strenuous activities will great increase.

You are more likely to lead an active lifestyle because that lazy feeling is minimized.

Challenging your muscle with the weights will definitely melt away those undesirable fats. Believe that the body tone will shape up and as you become leaner, you will start to look better.

For the elderly, committing to resistance training will assist in their recuperation process and minimize the risks associated with the age.

They are able to perform basic task without the need of help from other people. Being more independent like this can absolutely decrease the danger of injuries to them.

With consistent sessions of resistance training, you can be assured of a lowered heart rate and also lowered blood pressure. This is especially true after any exercise and the risk of heart disorders is reduced greatly.

However, this kind of program must be done correctly with commitment and long term consistency.

Follow the schedule as recommended by your doctor or trainer and do it regularly. If not done properly, the benefits of the training may not be achieved and could result in injury.

The main point here is to just take your time by doing the motion correctly one step at a time.

Once your body is conditioned to take the training, you can proceed to a more demanding tasks. How strong your body will become and its look on the whole are at stake in such resistance training program so just be sure to enjoy it properly.
