What can I do about ab exercises?

February 18th, 2010

I am so frustrated I want a flatter stomach and I want to lose the fat I have in my stomach and I want to lose the lose handles.

I hate using the ab machine at the gym (24 hr Fitness) because I have to pull myself up and it hurts my neck, plus I don’t ever feel anything.

I was wondering if anyone has ever used the Ab Rocket or Ab Lounge and if any of those products actually work.

Thanks for all your help.

Pilates! It really helps the mid section.

How long will it take me to reach my fitness goal?

February 17th, 2010

I am 15 6′4, and 160 pounds. I can bench 170, and run a 6:20 mile. I am pretty happy, but want defined abs. I do ab work outs all the time, and run a lot. I have well defined upper abs, but my lower area is not defined. How long will it take for me to get definition if I keep it up?

probably less than a month! look up excersises on youtube for lower abs :) those are always hardest to get !

What are some good abdominal machines at Lifetime Fitness?

February 7th, 2010

I’m in need of some good ab workouts, and I was wondering what machines you use to get pretty good results. Thanks in advance!

That’s where I work out every day! Just got back from there actually..
Anyways, just try the ab machines up there. Where I go there are tons. And they’re all effective.
Those and legs raises that you can do on the leg-raise-ab contraption thing. And the leg raises you can do in the stirrups that hang from a bar..
Just try them and see which ones you like.

Hope that makes sense

How the Protein Diet Works

February 5th, 2010

Protein is an essential nutrient necessary for maintaining good health. In its basic form protein consists of amino acid chains. Of the 22 amino acids that are capable of creating protein, 8 of these can only be obtained through a protein diet. Because these amino acids are utilized by the body a low protein diet can affect a host of very important functions. The building of our skin, hair, nails and internals organs all depend on amino acids and are maintained trough a protein diet.
Muscle tissue as well as new tissue growth need protein for their activities and can receive adequate levels with a protein diet. Protein intake from a high protein diet helps to transport nutrients and oxygen to our cells. The valuable protein diet aids and maintains antibody production.
The protein sources available to us for inclusion in a high protein diet include animal and plant based proteins. Animal proteins are found in meat, fish, cheese eggs and milk. Plant protein sources include soy, spirulina and organic whey protein diet products. While it is certainly important that we include a balanced intake of protein in our diet, many people eat too much animal based protein.
This type of high protein diet could have adverse health effects, which appear as disease and obesity. Many individuals who follow an excessively high animal based protein diet are overweight and often unhealthy. People on an animal based high protein diet often have elevated bad cholesterol levels.
Heart disease, strokes and osteoporosis are often the result of an excessive animal based high protein diet. It is therefore important that a well-balanced protein diet is maintained. By replacing part or all of our animal protein diet with plant proteins we can be assured that our body requirements are being met. A plant protein diet can help us to avoid the health problems associated with an excessive animal protein diet.
Replacing saturated fats with unsaturated fats when on a plant protein diet can improve health tremendously. This plant protein diet can also aid with weight control. A plant protein diet does away with the saturated fat accumulation thus limiting unwanted weight gain. Regular exercise combined with a high protein diet including plant proteins will be beneficial to individuals wanting a healthier lifestyle.
Plant proteins have many benefits of their own when included in the high protein diet. These protein diet improvements include the ability to raise good cholesterol levels while reducing bad cholesterol. This important protein diet function aids in preventing the arterial plaque build up, which could cause artery hardening and blockages.
Protein from plant sources like soy and spirulina, when included in a protein diet, are able to reduce the risk of strokes, heart attacks and heart disease. A vegetable high protein diet improves the ability to retain calcium in the body.
Because less calcium is excreted in the urine while on a plant protein diet, problems such as kidney stones are lessened. Therefore it is important to consider exactly which type of high protein diet you are currently following. Due to the high levels of saturated fats and additives found in red meat, a plant protein diet is superior to an animal protein diet and is the healthier alternative.
