Chatty Cathy
Do you have a young daughter at home who seems to spend endless hours in her room, at friends' houses, and on the phone talking about various problems? Their seemingly innocent "girl talk" may not be so harmless, according to research conducted by Missouri University psychologists. As part of the study, the psychologists analyzed the result of chatting excessively about problems. The adolescent girls in the study group were more apt to exhibit symptoms of anxiety and depression.

The researchers noted that dwelling on problems by talking repeatedly about them makes the situations seem more important than they are. The group who were evaluated included third, fifth, seventh and ninth grade students. The boys who were analyzed did not respond in the same way. The psychologists theorize that while girls tend to internalize their problems and blame themselves, the boys put the blame for their problems on others.

Students who talked about their problems to their friends, however, did benefit in that they felt closer to their friends. The advice to parents from the experts: make sure that your children enjoy social activities such as sports.

The Ideal Combo for Protecting Yourself From Skin Cancer? Try Jogging to a Coffee Cafe
Peculiar as it may seem, drinking beverages with caffeine such as coffee and tea and regularly exercising may be the magical combination for lowering your risk of UV-induced skin cancer, judging by research just completed at Rutgers University in New Jersey. Just drinking caffeine or only exercising didn't do the same trick. The study involved hairless mice, who are particularly vulnerable to experiencing sun damage. The group of mice who exercised and sipped caffeinated water came out as the winners in terms of protection from skin cancer caused by UV rays. However, the researchers did note that it remains to be seen whether humans can experience the same benefits.

As for me, I'll stick with exercise - and a moderate amount of coffee.

"Safe" Natural Health Products May Not Be So Innocent
When my doctor asks me what my current medications are, I usually provide the name of my prescription hypertension medication. Occasionally I mention that I take calcium and other vitamins, and he casually nods. I never even considered telling him that I also dabble with natural health products such as valerian tea for insomnia. I figured that all natural health products were "safe."

A recent medical study conducted in at the University of Alberta in Edmonton, Canada, however, has given me cause to rethink my cavalier attitude. The researchers discovered that although multiple adverse effects can result from using prescription drugs with natural health products, they are rarely reported by physicians, pharmacists, and other health care providers. As a result, both consumers and health care professionals may not realize the extent of the potential risks.

To conduct their study, the medical researchers analyzed existing literature on the topic and surveyed pharmacists. Although nearly 50 percent of pharmacists stated that they had encounters with patients who experienced adverse effects from combining prescription medications and natural health products, only 1.5 percent had actually reported those negative reactions to a federal agency.

The study was co-authored by the University of Toronto, University of Alberta, and Health Canada.

Fitness A New Focus and Simplification of CPR Expected to Save More Lives!

CPR was first proposed about 50 years ago, when researchers suggested ...

Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) procedures has been revised and simplified! Now, the primary focus of CPR is chest compressions with less emphasis on rescue breathing. This new focus seems to have improved survivability rates. New procedures recommend twice as many compressions as before, now 30 compressions for every two rescue breaths delivered.

Dr. Shukri David, Chief of Cardiology at Providence Hospital at St. John's Health System, explains the philosophy behind the changes to CPR, "When you compress the chest deep enough, you create a vacuum that pulls in air as you release." The new and simplified guidelines encourage rescuers to perform deep compressions, approximately two inches downward (for adults), in the middle of the chest, over the breast bone. Allowing the heart to completely refill in between compressions is key to performing the new CPR technique. If there is an interruption to compressions there is an interruption to blood flow to the heart and critical organs.

It's simple and easy to learn. Reach out in your community and make a difference in somebody's life. The American Heart Association and your local American Red Cross chapters offer community courses teaching the new and simplified techniques of CPR. "If you perform CPR, you can save someone's life. It's simple and easy to do. All you really need to do is put your hands in the middle of the breast bone and push down two inches," David said. "If you do CPR immediately on someone with cardiac arrest, the survival rate goes from 6 to 50%. This will really make a difference if the population pulls together."

Stretching for runners Fitness Depot

Running, Exercise, Treadmills & Elliptical Trainers

Stretching before your workout will help you avoid injury when running on or off the treadmill. These exercises are designed to work on the major muscles involved in running.
Here are a few hints that will make stretching before running more effective:
Avoid stretching cold muscles. When muscles are cold, its easier to tear the muscle fibers.
Walk or jog 5 minutes to get blood to the area, wear sweat pants or tights and try to stretch where its warm.
Always stretch to the point of discomfort, not pain.
Breathe comfortably and let the muscle group relax. As it relaxes, it will stretch.
Hold each stretch for 30 to 45 seconds.
Dont overdo it. Remember, it is supposed to help you run better not be a challenge in and of itself.

Splits
This stretch will help to keep your adductor's in shape.
Set your feet parallel and spread them as far apart as possible. Fold your arms at the elbows, and bend forward while trying to reach the ground with your folded arms. Make sure you dont pressure your lower back.

Bent Over Hang
To avoid shortening both your stride, the Bent Over Hang stretches your hamstrings the most important muscle group involved in running.
This stretch will also loosen your lower back muscles. To perform this stretch, bend over at the waist and hang your fingers toward your toes, relaxing your neck muscles and letting your head hang.

Lunge
This stretch has a two goals. It will loosen both your hip flexors and your groin muscles muscle groups that are vital to fast running as well as hills or a high incline setting on the treadmill.

Hip flexors are stretched by keeping the toe of the trailing leg pointed straight down as you drop your knee to the ground with your hands next to your forward foot. Groin muscles are stretched by turning your foot in so that the inside edge is flat against the ground.

Stork
Loosening your quadriceps will increase your back kick and lengthen your stride. By stretching the quads, you help the hamstrings pick up your heels as you toe off.

Balance on one foot or hold onto a nearby object and keep your knee pointed down with your torso perpendicular to the ground. By keeping your grip at the toes, you will also stretch your shin muscles.

Heel Drop
Loose calf muscles will help prevent Achilles tendinitis and take some of the burden away from your shins as you bring your trailing leg forward when running.

Stand on a curb, a step or the edge of your treadmill and drop your heels just to the point of discomfort. Relax your calves. Your heels will move closer to the ground as your calves stretch. Your calves, Achilles tendon and shins will thank you for this stretch.

Commonly question about Fitness Stretching for Runners

Question :

My Knee locked up!! Runners? Fitness buffs?

Hi! I m a runner. I run around 10-12 miles a week. Recently, I ve been running a lot on the tredmill because it has been snowing a lot where I live. Today at the gym, I ran three miles on the tredmill and did 20 minutes on the elliptical. Out of no where before (I was sitting down eating dinner) and I got up and my knee locked up. This was 3 hours ago and I still have no been able to get it back to normal. It feels like it needs to click back in place - but it almost seems impossible that it hit me out of no where. If i dislocated it, I would think it would be right after running, like immediately. Perhaps I just strained it? I always stretch before working out. Have any runners had this experience. Anyone at all? What should I do?

Answer :
10-12 miles a week is very commendable! Congrats!

Get plenty of rest, eat a moderate amount of protein throughout the day, and take a vitamin/mineral supplement that has glucosomine and and msm. Treadmills and elipticals are slightly different than the "God-created" outdoors and the jolts our body takes on these machines can have different impacts on our body. If it does not clear up in a week or two, I suggest that you see a doctor. If you are in excruciating pain, you may want to see a doctor sooner, but take it easy on it and give it time to heal itself. Hope all goes well!

I have problems occasionally with my knee and sometimes it is just a minor inflamation around the knee cap, but nothing major. I am a mom of 3 and have joint and arthritis problems that run in the family, so I have done extensive research on preventive measures. Want to keep up with these babies when they are teens!

Question :

I am a keen runner- What exercise can I do to maintain my fitness while my leg is injured?

I am a very active & fit person & work out @ da gym for 2hrs 40 mins daily- 1 hr running 11.1k(with a 5 min cool down), 1 hr on the bike mchne (with a 5 min cool down) & 30 mins stretching & sit-ups to finish. About 1 wk & a half/2 wks ago I injured my leg (I think by running) but thought it was just a minor strain so carried on gritting my teeth & working out as usual (I also kick-box 2ce a wk). My kick boxing instructor advised me not to work out so harshly if I was in pain but thinking it was just a little strain I ignored his advice. Last night my leg was too painful & I had to admit defeat. I was advised to buy Ibuprofen gel (as oppose to the heatrub) which I have been using since last night and told to rest with no exercise. This has becom traumatic 4 me bein a fitness fanatic and I ve been told if I HAVE to do anything to swim & POSSIBLY go on the bike. Da fitness instructor thinks I may hav torn a muscle & is doin a sports msg Fri. Advice on how I maintain fitness b4 I recover?

Answer :
Swim a few lengths each day. Hope you get better soon xxx

Question :

I need help from other experienced runners!?

I have no fitness program in my lifestyle. I think that running would fit into my schedule the best.

I m not overweight, but I am so out of shape that two flights of stairs will leave me extremely winded.

I have not been able to find anything on the internet of how to SAFELY start out walking, how far I should walk, should I start out with running a very short distance, etc???? I am just at a loss of what to do.

I know the importance of warming up, stretching, etc.

If anyone can help me plan a schedule, or refer to me one online, I would be greatly appreciative.

Thanks!

Answer :
At one time I was severely overweight & TERRIBLY out of shape. Now I m probably right back in the same basket with a great majority of the people in the U.S.

Many years ago, I started walking. Not at a brisk pace. Not very far. Not for much time.
I guess I would consider myself as self-taught.

Each day for about 2 weeks, I walked for about 15 minutes to 30 minutes.

After two weeks, I started jogging and walking.

Gradually the time and distance I was jogging surpassed the walking distance. I THINK I was about 6 weeks into my "program".

Due to my work schedule I always did my roadwork in early-morning darkness. One morning I was jogging in the street due to shifting concrete, broken or missing concrete blocks, tree roots, etc., sidewalks were too-sudden-of-a change in the terrain., I was ALMOST hit by a car.

I decided THE BEST place to do my daily exercise was at a high school track.

I continued the program about a year. Very gradually I increased the distance. Eventually, I was jpgging 6 miles per day 24 times around that track. It took about 1 1/2 hours.

I THINK I did my best to answer your Q! I enjoyed answering it.

Six tips to get over a plateau on your workout

Dont Let a Plateau Get You Down

Tips for your Workout

Once someone is consistently on a workout program, inevitably there will come a time when a sticking point is reached.
I'm talking about a point when the person is having trouble getting stronger in a certain lift, or running or riding faster on a certain course.
This can be a frustrating occurrence, but fear not.
Here are six tips to get over a plateau and take the next step in your exercise program:
Analyze your form - Pick out things you do well and also that you need work on. Then set out to improve your weak points. Sometimes little things like changes in form will help you perform better.

Change things up - Instead of doing the same basic workout routine, vary the exercises, amount of weights and repetitions you do. Variety is the spice of life and also the way to a stronger body.
Perform heavier weightlifting sets some days to build raw strength and muscle and then on other days go to lighter weights and higher reps to counterbalance with muscle endurance. You'll avoid hitting plateaus as often by creating muscle confusion.
On the bench press for instance, if you've been doing 3 sets of 10, try going 3 3 or 5 5. A pyramid 8-6-4-2-1 is also a good choice, adding weight as you go down in reps.

Take a break between heavy sets - When you're in the middle of a heavy set of squats or bench presses, there's no way you should try to whip through the sets. It's OK to take 3-4 minutes to rest and mentally prepare between big sets.

Compound approach - Focus your time and energy on compound lifts - ones that incorporate multiple body parts in one exercise - rather than isolation movements. Examples of compound exercises are squats, deadlifts, clean-and-jerks and bench press.

Visualize - Picture yourself having a good workout beforehand and prior to lifts visualize yourself powering up the desired number of reps.
Visualize yourself meeting short- and long-term goals - and now.

Eat better - Give yourself better fuel and it will naturally improve your performance.

Commonly question about Six tips to get over a plateau on your workout

Question :

How can I get out of this weight loss plateau?

I have been trying to lose weight for over 2 years now, and am stuck at yet another, weight loss plateau.

Six weeks after my son was born (and all the appropriate baby weight fell off), I was 270lbs. I used weight watchers since then (but I was in an accident that kept me bed ridden for 6 months, so I did stop for a while then), and am now at 193lbs. But I have been 193lbs, give or take 3lbs, for over 2 months! It s driving me crazy.

So my question is for any who have lost weight, hit a plateau and successfully gotten out of it. My major problem is that I have a bad leg from my accident, and can t do any high impact exersize, which really holds me back.

So please, any tips would be appreciated.

Answer :
The guy above me is wrong. If it s all about calories, then you could eat 7 bags of chips to get your daily allotted intake. Your body needs nutrients. You should eat whole foods. Eat eggs. Eat meat. Eat greens. Eat nuts. Eat cheese. I find that the quickest way to lose weight is by removing all starches (all corn, potatoes, soy, and wheat) but still eating green vegetables, nuts, and cheese. If you give your body what it needs it will shred that fat that it doesn t need. Don t count calories. Eat good food until you are full. You cannot eat too much good food because you will fill up on nutrients long before you overeat.

Question :

Tips for adjusting an adopted stray cat to domestic life?

Over the past month, a stray cat has adopted my family. A handsome little tom, he turned up under our porch about six weeks ago with a chunk missing from one ear and my grandmother took pity on him and began feeding him until one day a few weeks ago, he walked into the house as if he owned the place, and we ve decided to keep him. We ve successfully litterbox trained him, and I m increasing his indoor-time every day and encouraging him to stay near the house when he s let out, but we really need to take him to the vet and get him neutered, vaccinated, and tested for feline leukemia before my young siblings get too attached. (We had a similar incident last year, when we tried to adopt another stray only to find he was in the late stages of leukemia and within a month had to be put down.)
I m looking for advice from anyone who has cat experience on how to get him to tolerate being picked up, held, and examined in preparation for a vet visit, and how best to get him in a carrier with minimal trauma on his part. I d also like to get him used to wearing a collar and further increase his inside-time, but right now we ve hit something of a plateau because once he s been in for about ten hours, he sits at the door and meows until someone lets him out; he can t be consoled or lured away. Any suggestions would be really helpful to us!

Answer :
First to get him to stay inside the best way is to go cold turkey. Keep him inside All the time (which is safer anyway) It will take weeks before he ll stop crying at the door (and longer before he stops trying to sneak out) As long as he knows if he cries long enough he can get out, he ll keep crying.

To get him adjusted to the carrier- leave it open, put food or treats inside (maybe cat nip) and let him explore on his own. He s never going to like being locked in, but you want it to be as least stressful as possible (he ll like the car even less)

The vet will be trained to be able to handle even a wild cat that doesn t like to be held, so don t stress about that.

For the collar- put it on (he ll hate it) for a few minutes at a time while in the house. After a few weeks increase the time he wears it. It will be a month or more to get him to the point you can take him outside with it. He isn t going to walk on a leash like a dog. It will be more like him walking you.

Question :

Why am I having so much trouble eating healthy and losing weight now?

At the last week of January this year I was about 230lbs..since then I have gotten myself down to about 191-190. I was exercising six times a week with weight lifting and running. And I was on a meal plan where I ate six meals a day about 2 1/2 - 3 hours apart. I was sticking to a pretty bland diet. I would usually eat egg whites for breakfast and a lot of veggies and fruits with lean meats, white rice, etc. I usually drink water with most of my meals, if not water then Green Tea or Diet Green Tea. But I have come to a plateau so to speak. Every since I got down to 195 it has taken me about four weeks to lose three pounds almost. I have actually boosted up my weight lifting from about 30 minutes to over and hour and from running just a few miles to running anywhere from three to six miles w/ sprints after I lift. Since I do more exercise I only do it five days a week now to get more rest. But why have I come to a stand still with my weight lose?? I can t even stress how bad I want to eat McDonalds or Chinese food. But I feel that if I even treat myself one time I will get too far behind to lose weight like I was. Does anyone have any advice or tips for me? Appreciate it.

Answer :
It sounds like you re on the right track. Don t beat yourself up...reward yourself for your efforts and then you ll feel more motivated. You are draining yourself mentally and your body is beginning to sense that. Plus now that you ve made that "lifestyle change" when you eat McDonald s or Chinese food it won t be so fulfilling and you ll find yourself wanting less of it. You just need another boost...mentally. Hope this helps.

Question :

Is anyone interested in an online fitness coach?

Hi, I m Stephanie and I m an Independent Beachbody Coach. My coaching all started one night when I saw an infomercial for a fitness DVD on TV and I ordered it. I fell in love, and kept with my program- I started to feel so much better from the exercise that I changed my eating habits as well. I lost the 10 lbs that I d been trying to lose for years. Anyways I started coaching to help others succeed with the at home DVDs that I used ( and still use). Email me if you d like to join my team for FREE. Check out www.bbfitcoach.com for details.


Getting in shape is NOT easy and there is no magic pill or fad diet that will do the work for you. Any diet that promises you to lose 10 lbs in 1 week is just depleting you of water weight and actually SLOWING down your metabolism making it that much harder for you to burn calories. Now if youre a yo-yo dieter multiply that every time you start a new diet and youre slowing down your metabolism EACH time. No wonder you cant lose weight?!

The secret to being fit is just good old-fashioned diet and exercise. Its a lifestyle change that only you can make. You have to have the mind set that your body and health is worth it. You will feel so much happier, and healthier once you make this change. Youll be a better wife, mom, sister, husband, friend, etc.

So now that I filled you in on the big secret. I will share some tips that I have learned in my own fitness quest. Small, frequent meals are the most effective way to lose weight, and maintain your blood glucose levels. If youre following a 1200 cal/day diet try to eat 300 for breakfast, 300 for lunch, 300 for dinner, and 2 snacks in between with 150 each. You will find that you are never hungry, and never full. Because we all know that Big Mac tastes good going down it doesnt feel so hot sitting in your belly for the next 6 hours.

You have to count your calories- at least in the beginning until you have a good grasp on the nutrition levels and portion amounts that your body needs. There are lots of websites that can help you log your meals online to see all the nutrition totals. I like www.myfitnesspal.com This is a FREE site that allows you to plug in your height/weight/exercise level and will tell you how many calories you need to consume to achieve our goals. Its personalized, its free, and it works.

Now exercise will be different for everyone and I say do something you enjoythat way you are more likely to stick with it. A good exercise program will combine cardio and strength training. Cardio will help you burn calories and torch body fat, while strength training will build muscle, which in turn boosts your metabolism and makes you LEAN. Girls do not be afraid of weights; they are your best friends. Im a busy nurse and I work long days so I personally enjoy working out at home to save time and $$. My favorite DVD programs are Chalean extreme, Turbo Jam, P90X, and Slim in Six. Check out www.BBfitcoach.com for details.

Make sure you make yourself accountable. Tell your friends/family about it so they can support you. Take your body measurements and set reasonable goals to achieve. For some incentive to workout check out www.BBfitcoach.com and JOIN for FREE to login your workouts in a virtual gym called WOWY. Everyday in WOWY someone will win the daily prize which is either $300, $1000, TVs, DVD players, cameras, and ipods. Its legit and I know people that have wonmyself not included YET.

I hope this helps but if you have any questions shoot me an email. Im a nurse by trade, but fitness junkie by hobby.

Answer :
ok

Question :

How long should it take to see noticeable results from this diet/fitness plan?

A bit of the background first:

I gave birth to my son in December, I was already overweight when I fell pregnant and when I went into the hospital I weighed 15st 3lb (213lb) and somehow came out 3 days later weighing EXACTLY the same - i m not sure how that works but hey ho that s how it is.

Admittedly, for the next few months after Jake s birth I had mild post natal depression and really let myself go, I ate what I wanted, didn t bother making an effort with myself when it came to personal hygiene either, it became an effort to even put a brush through my hair or even brush my teeth! now I have managed to shake the depression, I want to get myself sorted so I have got my hair cut, resumed my personal hygiene duties, and went to the nurse at my GP practice to ask for help with my weight loss.

The nurse put me on Orlistat Tablets (prescription version of Alli but stronger) so I now have to follow a low fat diet unless I want to risk having some unsavoury side effects.

So I am sticking to a 1600cal diet with less than 15g fat per meal limit (according the alli guidelines i m allowed 1800cal and 19g fat per meal as i m over 13st 7lb).

As for fitness I have started going to Zumba once a week and going for vibration plate training (like flabeloss) 3 times a week, although I must stress that the vibration plate training is supervised by a qualified instructor who makes me work hard on the plate, I don t just stand on it for 10 mins I have to do actual exercises on there (like step ups, core training) and I come home exhausted and achy! In addistion to this, I also walk 1 mile to the training and 1 mile back again.

How long do you think it should take to see some noticeable results from the above? I go back to work in 6 weeks and I would love to be at least one dress size smaller by the time I go back.

Answer :
- How long do you think it should take to see some noticeable results from the above

Probably never. Diets to lose fat don t work because the body goes into a kind of starvation mode where it squirrels away every spare calorie as fat and will cannibalize bone and muscle tissue for energy. The main purpose of products like the vibration plate are to promote weight loss by lightening your wallet. Fat reduction takes time. There are no miracle pills or methods regardless of any anecdotes, celebrity endorsements, or late night TV shows you may have seen or heard.

Weight is a very poor metric because bones, muscle, and fat all have different densities (fat being the lightest). The correct metric is the percentage of body fat. You can lose fat, look better, and not lose any weight. See your doctor to determine your current percentage and what your ideal percentage of fat should be.

Eating balanced meals as recommended in the Harvard Eating Pyramid and exercising at your target heart rate is the best way to reduce the percentage of body fat.

Any exercise that is performed at your target heart rate for an extended period will burn fat. Walking, cycling, and rowing are some of the best. Use a pulse meter to ensure that you are exercising at the correct intensity. Too intense and you just burn sugar, not fat.

2012 Presidential Election - what are we doing?

How does America self-destruct? The baby boomers paid uncle sam, brought us all up, fought for our freedoms, took care of us and found cures. They taught us our foundations and guided us through hard times. They deserve a big slice of the pie during retirement and long-term nursing care.
................
The education system needs no cuts, as those who seek such education will soon enough be helping our economic solidarity and infrastructure with the careers they will be getting.
.................
This is not about singling out the less fortunate such as food stamp recipients, the needy and lower/middle class. This needs to encapsulate everyone together as a whole. This is about reaching back to help pull up those who still count. This is about unison, about staying together, about chipping in to account for everyone.
....................
We have all wondered how business owners can be so strict, ruthless, selfish, frugal, demanding, adamant, rigid and narrow-focused. Romney-Ryan is not about nurture..... rather they are about vulture. They will fly around the wounded, the weak, the frail, the agile and the needy who are needing help and they will swoop just close enough to peck at our souls and keep us below, like a business owner who refuses to give us a raise after we have been productive for ten years and never called in sick.
..............
Obama and Biden. Well, our economy is a disaster. Gas prices, crime, an angered America, lost love as divorces are soaring and deceptions and hidden agendas at their best. I promise to do this and that when I take office......we are fooled again and again.
...............
We measure the wrong things: good looks, character, fitness, speech, confidence and presentation/leadership skills. For those who may lack any one of these, we distance our votes from them. My brothers and sisters, aunts and uncles, fathers and mothers, grandfathers and grandmothers.......I have a feeling that the best choice may keep being the ones we let go. I think we keep looking at the surface.....not at the beef. We are not healthy eaters. Obama is 48% lean and Romney is 42% lean. What have we done?
....................
Al Gore was right about Global Warming. But we just keep destroying our planet. We let him go and then he won the Nobel Peace Prize. Wups!
......................
Ross Perot we thought was too eccentric.
But the man was smart. As was Gingrich. We let them both go.
.......................
Steve Forbes is a proven icon. We let him go.
.......................
Well we have done it again. We measured the wrong venues. Now we have self-destruction in our faces. Only this time we can see it before anybody gets elected. Of all the candidates we let go within the last three terms, which one do you wish you could reconsider for the 2012 election?

Answer :
Newt Gingrich

Six-Pack of stretching tips

With many people starting to become more active again, it's important to get back into fitness the right way. If you spring back into working out too hard,

50 Ways to Get an Awesome Looking Six Pack Wild Total Fitness

With many people starting to become more active again, it's important to get back into fitness the right way.
If you spring back into working out too hard, or too fast, you just might blow a spring of your own.
It's important to stretch every day, to improve flexibility and avoid injury.
However, many people still hold onto old-school advice on how to stretch. There are many misconceptions out there.
To make sure you get the best and healthiest stretches, here are six tips on how to limber up the right way.
1. Don't do full stretch routine before workouts - Your old gym teacher may have started class with everyone doing a full-stretch routine, but you shouldn't do that when just starting a workout! The body will be cold and results will be greatly reduced.
2. Perform light stretch to get started - Do some very light stretching for a few minutes, then perform a light warm-up of about 5-10 minutes of light walking on the treadmill, biking, elliptical work or jogging.
3. Stretch with slow, fluid movements - After warming up, then you can spend 5-10 minutes doing a complete stretch. Avoid bouncing or jerking, instead slowly stretch your muscles to the endpoint of movement and hold the stretch for about 10 to 30 seconds. It's important to breathe during the stretch - feel your muscles actually relaxing as you slowly exhale in and out. Senior citizens, or people with injuries or other special situations may need to take precautions.
Make sure to stretch again after the workout.
4. Stretch lightly throughout workout - Throughout a workout and even through the day make sure to stretch lightly. It's not enough to just do one real good stretch during or after a workout.
Even at work, take a break about every 1 1-2 hours to get up and move around and lightly stretch.
5. Don't over stretch - Most trainers say to hold a stretch for no longer than 30 seconds at a time. You're not likely to get badly injured stretching, but it is possible to slightly tear muscle fibers if you push too hard.
If you feel mild pain or discomfort be careful and don't over-do a stretch too far past that point. Also, as mentioned above, don't bounce while stretching.
6. Pay special attention to problem areas - You should try to get a good overall stretch every time, but you should also focus in on problem areas.
Your body will tell you during the course of a day and even a stretching session which areas are the tightest. By concentrating on tighter areas you can help alleviate the problems and oftentimes even prevent injury down the road.

Commonly question about Six-Pack of stretching tips

Question :

How long will it take for me to get a six pack like this?

Okay so I want a six pack in 2 months... will this cover it? Please give me some tips.
(I am still an early teen)
Every Day:
-100-200 Crunches/Sit Ups (100 per exercise session)
-20-30 laps at the pool
-50 Stretches down to my toes

Tips??

Answer :
Ab work will not get you a six pack, don t even bother. You must do cardio to lower your totaly bodyfat percentage first, then you can do ab work to get some glamor. You can t spot reduce, fat goes away on its on schedule wherever it feels like it.

Sit-ups just hurt your back.

Question :

What is an easy way to have a six pack?

I m starting to do pull-ups. Is that a good idea? Right now, I m rather thin. Could you tell me some exercises(stretching exercises) that help me become muscular? What are some good tips?

Answer :
Pull-ups are a very good start. Crunches and such will help too. Be sure to eat a healthy diet and drink plenty of water and juice. Just about all of the strength building and stretching exercises will help. Avoid trying to bulk up using those amino acid drinks and stuff. You have to burn a tremendous amount of calories everyday to keep from gaining fat from those things. They can also screw with your natural metabolism.

Question :

Question about six pack?

I m 16 years old and weigh about 183 pounds, 83kg, 13.10 stones. So overweight for my age. I am 5 ft 9 inches. I have stretch marks on my arms and hips. Both sides. The stretch marks on my right arm are fading away, while the ones on my left are bright red. Also the stretchmarks on my hips are about 3 inches long and also bright red.

Is there any way I can lose all this weight and get a six pack ?

I want to get down to about 11 stones, but I need tips on what to do. What type of exercise, what food to eat. I want to prevent getting anymore stretch marks, so if I lose weight is there a chance of gaining more stretch marks and if so how do I prevent this?

Also if I do manage to get a six pack, would it have stretch marks over it?

Answer :
Get a diet plan from you re doctor or a specialist (nutritionist). Im doing p90x and it works for me, lost 14 pounds in 1 month and gained muscle and it comes with a easy to follow diet plan.

5. Fish: There's a difference between good and bad fats. Eating good fats like monounsaturated and omega-3s make it easier to stay slim, according to recent research.

"The healthy fats, like monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, are found in fish, nuts, olive oil and avocado, while the bad fats, like saturated and trans are found in butter, shortening, pre-packaged cakes and cookies," Ryan says.

A Wake Forest University study found that over a 6-year period, participants whose only source of fat was trans fats gained 30 percent more fat in their abdominal region and had early signs of diabetes. You don't have to fear fats if you know which are good and bad.

Exercise and follow these simple guidelines and you'll be on your way to an abs-olutely amazing midsection!

Commonly question about Fitness Flat Ab Foods: Fish

Question :

Question about diet and fitness

I am 16 years old, 5 6" and 155 pounds. I am going to start exercising more and eating better.

Items at my disposal:
30lb dumbbell set
250 yard driveway to run up and down
treadmill
mini stepping thing
plenty of room for indoor or outdoor exercises

So here is what I want, I want to lose my excess stomach fat and replace it with abs and pecs, build up my arms, and establish a healthier lifestyle. Don t have the time to join a gym. So, here was what I was thinking:

20-30 minutes of running or walking (or a combo of both)
10-15 minutes of some form of ab workout (I read that the bicycle is the most efficient)
10-15 minutes of arm workouts

If you have any suggestions on the workout portion, let me know. I don t really know what I m doing as far as this whole thing goes. When do you think the soonest I would see a flatter stomach/abs showing up? I don t really have a deadline, but as soon as possible without going workout crazy would be nice.

As for the diet, I already drink a descent amount of water, but I could be drinking more. So I plan on replacing all unhealthy drinks with water. What would be good for a food plan? I do not like seafood, so fish is not an option.

Thanks for all of your help!

Answer :
First, congrats on wanting to get yourself in better shape.

You can do what you want with the dumbbells, but the one exercise I strongly recommend to build up your legs and drop excess fat is sprinting. Specifically, as part of an interval workout.

Almost any exercise, when done intensely enough, will burn fat. But one of the most recommended by professionals is something called interval training.

Its basically short periods of intensity mixed with short periods of rest. What this does is essentially smack your metabolism in the face to wake it up and force it to burn fat. Here s a perfect example that worked for me and that you can do in your long driveway:

1 minute - jog (warm up)
30 seconds - sprint
30 seconds - jog
30 seconds - sprint
30 seconds - jog
30 seconds - sprint
30 seconds - jog
30 seconds - sprint
1 minute - jog (cool down)

This entire workout lasts less than 6 minutes but will absolutely kick your butt. When you sprint, go 100 percent full speed. At the end, you can jog for longer if you d like until your heart rate calms down a little.

Do this everyday for a week and I will bet you anything you ll notice a difference.

Good luck!

Fitness Ask Raphael: Overcoming a Plateau

Have a question about your routine or anything fitness-related? Send it Raphael's way at askraphael@. Hi Raphael, Thanks so much for all your

Can't lose more weight? Overcome the plateau - Rediff Getahead

Thanks so much for all your articles and tips! I've been dieting and exercising, and I've lost about 16 pounds! I seem to have hit a brick wall, though. I've been using an elliptical trainer to do interval training about 3 days a week. I've also been using a popular boot camp type workout where you alternate between a minute of cardio and a minute of strength training (things like lunges and squats and using the resistance band.)

I'm just really discouraged because I've been doing that program 6 days a week for 3 weeks, and my weight won't seem to budge. I've exercised more the last 3 weeks than the previous months that I lost so much weight! I'm wondering if perhaps there is something wrong with my strength-training routine.

Following the video, I seem to be doing all the moves pretty quickly to get a lot in within the one minute time frame. I'm wondering if doing the movements more slowly would help. I always think I'm going to be sore the next day but I'm really not. Does that mean I'm not building muscle? The other question I have is in reference to something I read in one of your articles. You said that a person that gets 40% of their calories from carbs rather than 60% would be leaner and would more easily develop muscle.

Well, I've been tracking all my calories and I consistently get about 60% of my calories from carbs, but that's because I'm a vegan vegetarian. There isn't anything I can eat that's just pure protein without any carbs because it's all plant based. I'm concerned that I'm not going to be able to build muscle as well as someone that eats animal based protein. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks so much for your help! - Carrie

Carrie,

Thanks for reading my articles and tips and congratulations on your 16-pound loss. Well done!

In reference to your question, I don't think you've hit a plateau because of your strength-training program. It sounds as if your calorie intake needs to be adjusted.

Although you mentioned your ratios of protein, carbs and fats, you didn't mention your height and total calories. This would have helped me analyze if you're taking in too few calories. Sometimes when we increase activity, it's important to slightly increase calories to keep the metabolism revved. If you take in too few calories, then it's possible to reach a plateau.

You've been working out hard 6 days a week and it sounds like your intensity is quite good based on the interval training and boot camp workout, so it might not be the workout parameters that are holding up progress.

However, with respect to strength training, I recommend that you use a slightly heavier weight to make it more challenging. You aren't getting sore because the weights are too light or there aren't enough overall sets. Soreness is not the only indication of an effective workout and it doesn't mean you're not building muscle - but it does sound as if you can increase the poundage to make the entire session more challenging. This will also help you to build muscle.

Also, there's no need to perform the movements super slow. In fact, that style is very overrated. Just make sure your form is perfect and the weights are under control at all times during the lifting, pushing, pulling, etc.

The article I wrote that mentioned a person might be leaner at 40% carbs versus 60% took into consideration that muscle is best built when calories are in a range of approximately 25%-30% protein. Also, at 60% carbs you're most likely holding more water than even a slightly lower carb amount.

I would like for you to write to our Director of Nutrition Services Pam Ofstein at askpam@ediets.com and mention that I referred you. Explain your issue related to being a vegan and get her professional advice concerning how to slightly lower your carbs in the most effective manner. Even if you slightly reduce to 50% or so, it could make a difference.

As far as a recommendation concerning your weight stall, here's what I want you to do:

- For two weeks, increase your daily calories by 200. At the end of the first week, check your scale weight. If it has not increased, then continue into the second week with the same plan. I would bet by the end of the second week, you'll be losing again.

- If your scale weight increases after one week, then drop the 200 calories and add one more elliptical workout to your program (30-minute session). Do not perform this as an interval session. Just make it a more intense steady-state workout. Also, increase one of your current interval workouts by 10 minutes.

Hang in there, Carrie. There is a solution and sometimes it takes just a slight shift of calories or slight change in activity to get the progress rolling again.

Fitness How to Proactively Support Your Prostate Health

Proactive tips for protecting prostate health and Specific natural substances that promote prostate health

Life Proactive Prostate Support Formula (60t) - Men's Health - Fitness ...

"Attention to health is life's greatest hindrance." Plato (427-347 B.C.).

Plato has succinctly captured the attitude of most men towards health. More than two and a half millennia later, surveys conducted show that most men pay little or no attention to their health needs.

According to 2009 Mens Health Report: A Comprehensive Look at the Status of Mens Health in Georgia, men die early because of behavioral and lifestyle patterns.
According to a survey conducted by Lieberman Research Worldwide Prostate Cancer Foundation/Gillette Mens Health Survey (2006) only 20 percent of the men over the age of 50 have ever discussed their family history or personal factors for prostate concerns with a doctor.

Unlike women, who are more informed about womens health concerns, men hardly ever sit to talk about prostate health. And when they do experience prostate discomforts, they often dont know which course of action to take and wind up doing nothing.

So heres a heads up on prostate health! Men, pay attention!

Proactive Tips for Protecting Prostate Health

Lose the extra pounds! The heavier you are the more likely you will develop prostate issues, as well as other weight-related health issues. You can avoid all of these just by making sure you are the optimal weight you should be. Since this is an important factor for good health, consider joining a gym or a fitness center if you find it difficult to lose weight.

Move It! Exercise! Drop the creature comforts we are so used to! Take the stairs instead of the elevator. Park your car as far from the entrance of shopping malls as you can. Buy a bicycle and use it for traveling short distances. Better yet, walk whenever you can instead of using the car. Go for a morning or evening walk or jog. Build up your exercise regimen so that you are getting at least 30 minutes of exercise at least 5 days a week. For prostate health, ask your doctor about Kegel exercises.

Watch what you eat! Try to include plenty of vegetables in your daily diet, along with a healthy fiber intake (about 30 to 35 grams). A diet that is high in vegetable and grain intake is associated with higher incidence of good prostate health. Avoid fatty and fried foods, red meat, junk foods. Include foods like pumpkin seeds, avocadoes and walnuts which contain a blend of phystosterols, particularly beta sitosterol, which is a prominent natural substance for protecting prostate health.

Regular Check-ups and Prostate Screenings after the age of 40 will help you monitor prostate health and take early action.

Specific Natural Substances that Promote Prostate Health

There are prostate-specific natural substances that not only help to promote prostate health, but also support healthy urinary flow and functions. Beta sitosterol, is the key natural substance. Its efficacy is validated by scientific research and clinical trials. For over two decades, doctors in Europe have been successfully including beta sitosterol and other nutrients in a program for the patients of proactive protection of prostate health. Doctors and medical professionals have popularized the use of beta sitosterol as herbal support for promoting prostate health. There are no known harmful side effects and youll find sufficient research data on this subject on the Internet to help you make an informed decision about taking prostate supplements.

Your prostate supplement should include beta sitosterol and other essential nutrients such as Vitamin D, zinc, selenium and other minerals which play a vital role in maintaining the health of the prostate gland as well supporting mens general health and wellbeing.

By Shawn McKee
Staff Writer

Celebrity smells have become all the rage in the $60 billion global fragrance market.

Britney Spears, Paris Hilton, Beyonce, Jessica Simpson, JLo, Celine Dion, Shania Twain, Sarah Jessica Parker and Elizabeth Taylor are among the women who have ventured into the fragrance business.

While some celebrities help pick ingredients or design the bottle, others just slap their name on a smell and pass it along to the consumer. Why are perfume companies so eager to slap a picture of Beyonce on their bottles? Because it's a smart strategy.

"Building a fragrance brand name from start, without any affiliation, is a very expensive proposition," says Candace Corlett of WSL Strategic Retail, a New York City consulting firm. "A much quicker route to sales is to borrow a star's identity."

According to those who track fragrance trends, there are 138 celebrity fragrances currently on the market. Apparently, this is a record. Whose fault is it that 138 celebrities think that you should smell like them? I blame Elizabeth Taylor. Her "White Diamonds" has grossed more than $1 billion in sales since 1991 and has been the flagship for celebrity fragrances.

Now that you know there is a wide array of famous people you can smell like, how do you choose? For my nose's sake, I only reviewed a few, so if you don't find a celebrity you want to smell like, don't worry - there are plenty more.

Tommy Hilfiger's True Star has enlisted Beyonce as the spokeswoman. It has a floral scent with "nuances of sweet pea, honeysuckle and toasted wheat grains." True Star has a fresh, sexy smell and is quite bootylicious.

J.Lo was not satisfied with only one fragrance, so she created several - Glow, Still, Miami Glow, Live and her newest, Love at First Glow. Glow came first and is a subtle, sexy, clean and fresh scent with fruity undertones. Next came Still, which possesses an intriguing blend of white pepper, sake, bergamot, orange flower, rose, jasmine, freesia and honeysuckle. Miami Glow is a floral scent that let's you know the party's on! It even comes with a chic Miami charm bracelet. Live was created for the versatile woman, so it includes fruity and musky notes. Her newest, Love at First Glow, is innocence in a bottle, with essences of vanilla, peach and jasmine. Pick your poison and head down to South Beach.

Curious by Britney Spears tempts the senses with, "Louisiana magnolia touched with golden Anjou pear and dewy lotus flower." Don't fret if this doesn't sound like you or you're allergic to golden Anjou pear, because her other fragrance, Fantasy, is touted as a "magic love potion," with the scents of ripe fruits, cupcakes and musk. Caution: May cause hair to fall out. Just kidding!

Paris Hilton's perfume (ingeniously named "Paris Hilton") has the scent of "frozen apple with mimosa blossom." It had a citrus aroma and smelled great, if you want to smell like a strumpet who's been boozing and bed-hopping for the past month. Just like spending the night with Paris, you'll spend the next day burning your clothes and trying to wash off the smell.

Sarah Jessica Parker's Lovely is probably the best of the bunch. It's a traditional female fragrance and has been compared to Elizabeth Taylor's White Diamonds. Lovely even garnered accolades from Oprah, making Oprah's Favorite Things: Holiday 2005. It appeals to an older, more sophisticated crowd because that's what Parker's known for and includes patchouli and lavender, with top notes of fresh mandarin and crisp apple martini. If Oprah likes it, it must be good.

If you've had enough sex in the city, and you're feeling a little bit country, then get ready for Shania by Stetson. Shania Twain has lassoed a deal with Coty Beauty's Stetson brand to create a four-product women's fragrance line. Yee-haw!

Choose the one that fits you best, but remember: Just because your favorite celebrity has her own fragrance doesn't mean you necessarily want to smell like it. Smell ya later.
