  1. Most gyms have lockers so you will not worry about your personal things getting lost or stolen. If not lock your bag and place it in a secure place. The best gym wear for me would be a comfortable shirt and short, training shoes, and training gloves. Don’t forget to bring a towel, clothes for changing after the work-out, and water or any rehydration solutions.

  2. If you deliberately plan of being less than you are capable of being, then I warn you that you’ll be unhappy for the rest of your life. So great deal of being happy and not depressed is discovering your true purpose and fulfilling your greatest potential. ^_^

  3. The key in doing cardiovascular training is for you to reach the higher-end of your target heart rate which is usually 80% of the maximum heart rate. Maximum heart rate is calculated as 220 minus your age. The exercise should be of moderate intensity like jogging, and not high-intensity exercises which is considered anaerobic already. If you are a beginner, I suggest you start with lower-end of the target heart rate and gradually increase as you develop endurance. Proper warm-up and cool-downs are also very important. Most importantly before you start any exercise program, it is better to consult a physician first for medical clearance.

  4. Eating a healthy, well-balanced diet should provide you with all of the individual nutrients you need. Not everyone has a good diet so some of those nutrients might be deficient. For example, a person who hates fruits and vegetables might not get enough vitamin C and someone who refuses to eat dairy products will frequently need extra calcium. Taking a daily multivitamin is an inexpensive and easy way to be sure you are getting the vitamins and minerals you need.

  5. Registered PHYSICAL THERAPISTS who has post-graduate training in SPORTS MEDICINE are the best fitness trainers.

     

    They know how to assess the client’s specific needs. This is usually based on his CARDIOVASCULAR ENDURANCE, muscular STRENGHT and FLEXIBILITY, NUTRITION, past and current MEDICAL CONDITION, and other important factors. There should be NO PROGRAMS THAT ARE ALIKE since every person has different medical history, fitness status, and needs.

     

    Also, they have a deep knowledge of MUSCULAR ANATOMY. How to isolate every muscle in the body to elicit maximal contraction to produce a well sculpted body.

     

    They know not only how to strengthen the different SKELETAL MUSCLES in the body, but most importantly how to strengthen the HEART to increase cardiovascular endurance.

     

    They know how to do isolate STRETCHING of tight muscles in the body to avoid injuries such as pulled muscles and related injuries.

     

    They know PROPER BODY MECHANICS to prevent repetitive stress disorders (RSD) and other related injuries.

     

    They know how to effectively burn BODY FATS and reduce WEIGHT the healthy way. They do have a deep knowledge on SPORTS NUTRITION. They are also knowledgeable about the different FAT BURNERS and its side effects.

     

    There capacity is not limited to FITNESS TRAINING. They are also trained in sports-specific advance skills training of an ATHLETE.

  6. If you ever had experimented with fat burners, you know that they promise the world but when time comes to delivering results, they often simply come up short.

     

    The fat burners that do work contain drugs such as ephedrine and caffeine which are both powerful stimulants. Most of these supplement manufacturers take the HERBAL forms of these drugs so that they can market it as natural. It is vital that people understand that all herbs are PLANT-DERIVED DRUGS, without exception. Just because things are "natural" doesn't mean that they are natural to the body or that they are good and safe. The one thing that is certain is that every single drug in existence – whether "natural" or synthetic – will eventually cause complications if they are overused, misused, or abused – and that includes daily use for more than a few days or weeks.

     

    The reality is that fat burners will work on the short-term, but they are not going to work in the long-term.

     

    Fat burners have a diuretic effect which can lead to water loss and also suppresses your appetite by manipulating the brain neurotransmitters. They will also increase your heart rate. Headaches and tremors are some of the more intermediate side effects. On the extreme end, fat burners can cause strokes and even death. These does not happen everyday but for those persons with high blood pressure and heart problems, don’t mess around with fat burners. Fat burners are also very addictive. If taken for long periods of time, your body will become dependent on them so when you come-off of them, it creates energy loss and withdrawal symptoms.

  7. Reading is to the mind what exercise is to the body.

     

    Education must not end when school does. Continue studying a new skill that is interesting to you.

     

    Organs that are not used will atrophy. People who do not think very much have brains with low capacity. The brain is like a muscle, and increased use will often increase the strength of the brain and the intellect.

     

    Avoid toxins such as alcohol and recreational drugs which directly affect the functioning of the brain and often can cause damage to it.

  8. If your definition of being fat is related to being overweight or obese, then there is nothing to be proud about it. It's not because of aesthetic reasons but more of health reasons. The same is true for thin or underweight person.

  9. Study shows that ABRUPT STOPPAGE of smoking is more effective than the TAPERING TECHNIQUE (gradual decrease of cigarette consumption). You will experience withdrawal symptoms as a result of nicotine addiction, but the effect is more permanent than that of the tapering technique. I agree with most of the post here that you need a lot of determination if you really want to quit smoking.

  10. For me it's vitamins A, B, and C (A for alcohol, B for babae, and C for cigarette). :lol:

     

    Seriously speaking, you can boost your immune system through proper diet, exercise, proper sleep, and STRESS MANAGEMENT. Remember that boosting your immune system is not only related to PHYSICAL health but also MENTAL and SOCIAL health. As defined, health is not only the absence of disease but the complete physical, mental, and social well-being of a person.

  11. In the morning if your time permits. This will keep you active and your blood flowing throughout the day. If not, anytime you feel energize and active would do. Just remember to do the exercise at least 2 hours after meal. Doing it right away will not help in the digestion of food. Also, avoid lying-down or sleeping right after doing the exercise. This is especially true if you are doing the exercise at night. Sleeping right away after the exercise will put you at risk of increase blood pressure and stroke especially in the elderly. You have to at least rest for 2 hours before you sleep to prevent these complications.
