Do you see yourself in this situation also? Observing that your middle section is spreading out or just heading due south. Is buttoning those pants growing more difficult? Are you discovering the months passed on your rear looking at TV, running through chips and boozing has finally caught up with you, and you are sporting love handles? Have you lost your six pack abs(http://six-pack–abs.net)? You’re definitely not the only one and we’ve got great news for you.

If you want to vaporize the fatty tissue to reveal the muscle you should start some ab workouts. Back problems can be alleviated and this benefits both sexes. When you beef up one you fortify the other. Some elementary workouts to lose those spare tires are sit ups and stomach crunches.

Dealing with the lower back you can try lying on your tummy. Lifting your feet and knees off of the floor and lightly kicking your legs as if you were swimming. Do repetitions of 15 seconds action, resting 30 seconds.

While you’re at it, why not trim down on the salt consumption. We are inclined to connect salt and sodium rich foods with heart disease and stroke. Sodium also leads to water retention which can make a large belly look even bigger. Don’t add extra salt to foods and avoid processed foods. Drinking water can also aid in losing those love handles. Water not only helps to keep the body hydrated, it also assists your body to metabolize stored fat into energy and reduces your appetite.

A great idea would be to lay off the alcohol drinking to trim caloric intake. Yes, I know, we are both disappointed that alcoholic beverages are not a water substitute. Alcoholic drinks contain a lot of what is called empty calories which have a tendency to get lodged around the stomach area resulting in excessive fat. You do not need to eliminate alcohol altogether, just keep a tally of how much you booze and adjust as needed; same method as scaling down your food consumption.

I am trying to figure out which Body Building Supplements to use. The hype in all the advertisements all claim to be the very best stuff. They can’t all be the best.

I thought if I posted to the Internet maybe I could get in touch with other body builders and they might be willing to tell me which products to use.

I am sure they have tried different stuff and found what really works and what doesn’t. This is what I am trying to find out with out spending a lot of money doing it.

So write me and let me know what really works.I have started going to the gym and I keep hearing people talking about the Body Building Supplements they are using.

What I want to know is why do they use them. I mean is it something you only need if you are going to be competing or if it is something I should look into just to keep in shape.

I know someone out there will clue me in to the real facts. The sooner I learn the sooner I will know if I should be using them or just leave them to the guys and gals that are shaping up to compete.

Almost everyone should lift weights. Weight lifting strengthens bones, muscles ligaments and tendons; increases coordination for tasks requiring strength; and gives confidence and mobility to elderly or disabled people.

Just exercising doesn’t do much to strengthen muscles. If it did, marathon runners would have the largest muscles. To become strong, you have to exercise your muscles against progressively greater resistance.

Just exercising doesn’t strengthen bones either. Female marathon runners sometimes stop menstruating and lose tremendous amounts of bone, even though they may run more than 100 miles a week. To regain bone, they have to eat more food which will usually start them menstruating again, and include weight-lifting in their workouts. They may also need to take estrogen.

Many people with muscle or nerve diseases can also benefit from lifting weights. They may be unable to work out as long or as hard as a healthy person and they will take longer to recover from their workouts. However, if they stop exercising when their muscles feel heavy or hurt and they take off when their muscles feel sore, they can make dramatic increases in strength.

Anyone starting a weight training program should be guided by an experienced instructor. Exercise with several different machines two or three times a week, never on consecutive days. On each exercise, use the heaviest weight you can lift comfortably eight or ten times in a row without losing your form. Do three sets of ten repetitions on each machine. Then allow at least 48 hours for your muscles to recover. Do not lift again until the soreness is gone.

Women’s walking shoes have to be one of the best pairs of shoes to own.

This has nothing to do with the colour, how they look or even how they fit; this has to do with you, your health and more importantly your life span.

An 8 year study of 13,000 people showed that those who walked for 30 minutes every day had a lower risk of premature death than those who rarely exercised.

The fad of two legged walking began around 4 million years BC. Womens walking shoes were probably not as readily available then as they are now!

1860-1903 saw The Pedestrian Age when walking became the leading sport across Europe and the United States.

In 1877 Mary Marshall walked 50 miles in 12 hours and in 1908 the first women’s 6 day race, covering 372 miles was won by Bertha Von Berg.

You and I will probably be more familiar with craze of the nineties when a staggering 65 million people made walking the most popular form of exercise.

Walking regularly means you will be less likely to lose your mobility [American Journal of Public Health]

It gets even better.

Across the many forms of exercise today, physicians recommend walking over any other physical fitness activity.

If you don’t already have any kind of walking program, here’s a few amazing facts to convince you why taking up walking is the best decision you could make today:-

• Maintains a healthy bodyweight
• Burns fat and speeds up the metabolism
• Increases levels of self esteem and self confidence
• Maintains lean muscle
• Reduces blood cholesterol
• Boosts bone strength and prevents osteoporosis
• Controls high blood pressure
• Reduces the risk of type 2 diabetes, heart disease and certain types of cancer
• Reduces the symptoms of depression and anxiety
• Reduces stress
• Reduces pain and joint swelling caused by arthritis
• Achieves cardiovascular fitness
• Presents an overall feeling of wellbeing and good health

Of course your health is the most important part of your life but walking is completely free, no gym membership required!

One of the most important ‘bits of kit’ you will need, other than yourself of course is walking shoes. Aim to look for the following:-

• Great fit!
• low heel
• flexible sole
• breathable, lightweight fabric

If you walk regularly you should aim to have a new pair of womens walking shoes every 3-6 months, depending on the distance you usually walk.

By implementing a regular walking program of just 30 minutes a day you are essentially reducing the possibilities of all the points listed above.

You don’t even have to do one 30 minute walk; you could walk for 10 minutes at lunch time and maybe 20 minutes after dinner.

Try not to walk yourself into a frenzy.

Swing your arms as you walk and at a pace that will increase your heart rate slightly.

If you are losing weight you should aim to lose no more than about 1-2 lbs a week.

If you walk a mile, depending on you as an individual, your speed and the terrain you are walking on you can look to burn around 100 calories every mile.

Whenever I go to the gym and tell a friend that I’ve recently started the supplement, NO2, nobody knows what I’m talking about but I even mention Creatine, and that is well known as a standard for building muscle.

Could NO2 be the next Creatine? When Creatine was launched, it was expensive. But it worked. It was a huge craze at the gyms and most everybody wanted it. The reason they wanted it so much, is that it worked. It was legal and the side-effects, well so far, there aren’t any (as long as you drink plenty of fluids). Since the launching of this successful product, there has never been anything that hit the market with the same enthusiasm.

NO2, according to research , “the first of an exciting new category of muscle-enhancers known as a hemodilators. NO2 has the unique ability to perpetually sustain the flow of muscle-building agents to skeletal muscle.” Before I give my review, I’d like to share another quote of the benefits and claims. “By increasing nitric oxide production, NO2 increases your maximum contractile velocity - in all muscle types. The results are immediate and consequential, and include increasing your load capacity, boosting your power output, and quickening your muscle contraction.”

When I first was asked to try this product, I was skeptical. I’ve been bodybuilding for 16 years now (mainly for general fitness not to get freaky huge), and I’ve tried a lot of supplements. The last time I was excited about a supplement was Creatine like most of the gym-rats. But I’m always willing to review something and try it for myself in hopes that maybe I’ll find that gem and tell the rest of the world.

Taking 3 pills before breakfast, and another 3 one-half hour before lunch, I can honestly say that while I’ve noticed no gains in strength yet, my muscle do feel perpetually pumped. It’s like I just came back from the gym but it lasts all day. While I cannot say the results are amazing, I can say the effects - both physical and psychological - are extraordinary.

As with any supplement, you need to drink plenty of water. NO2 does not have this specific requirement, but I’ve noticed that being properly hydrated has helped me keep that pump going all day. I’ve also seen some recommendations that taking NO2 with Creatine gives a complementary effect. To date, I have not tried this.

If you are looking for the next Creatine, NO2 could be it. I love the effects. Unfortunately like Creatine when it first came out, it’s not cheap. But I’ve heard rumors that others will jump on this market and bring down the prices where the masses can afford it.
