Why We Gain Weight and How to Lose it

When trying to lose weight, it’s helpful first to understand why and how we gain weight. In most cases, weight gain occurs from some combination of a lack of exercise and overeating of the wrong foods. The change in our diet over the last 50 years has been dramatic and really quite alarming. What passes for food these days is, chemically speaking, not food at all and certainly not healthy. Processed foods are loaded with non-nutritive preservatives and additives that put extraordinary stress on the body and can render the food undigestible. Undigested, unutilized food is stored in our body as fat. The additives that don’t pass through our body are stored in our fat cells, thus making them bigger.

If there were one simple change we could make to improve the quality of our health and the weight of our body, it is simply this: eat more foods in their most pure, natural state. More fresh vegetables, fresh fruits, brown rice and other whole grains, breads made with non-refined flours, nuts, seeds, beans, and lean meats that are not fried. Less or no packaged foods, fast foods, deli meats, fried foods, and foods with artificial ingredients.

Researchers now tell us that the high fructose corn syrup found in our sodas and many other boxed foods is a non-natural sweetener. The sugars in high fructose corn syrup break down very quickly in the body, signaling intense rises in insulin, which in turn tells the body to store fat. High fructose corn syrup is one of the single greatest reasons for obesity in the world today.

A healthy diet can taste good and be very filling and nourishing. You don’t even have to give up sweets. There are many healthy alternatives to sugar. The quantity of your food consumption does not have to change as much as the quality and nutrition of the food you eat.

Water Makes Muscles More Elastic?!

Before you say, “yeah, yeah, yeah I know to drink 8 cups a day and live until a hundred. Boring, heard it all before” and close the page… your best bet would be to read on, for what you are about to learn may indeed not only broaden your circle of knowledge, but save your life.

I feel like the end of June is the perfect time to bring the topic of “water” to the attention of my fellow athletes.

We all heard stories of dehydration. Temperature climbs over a hundred. A senior citizen is taken to the emergency room due to a heat stroke. An overeager jogger collapses experiencing muscle spasms while exercising. These stories go on and on.

I have to say that the majority of Martial Arts instructors do not have degrees in Exercise Physiology. What they do have is tradition. We can only hope that the tradition they follow is safe. For instance, when I was a student, my master never allowed his students to drink water. He would turn on the fan, and spray the water on every student, yet would not allow us to actually consume it. It was considered as “lack of self discipline” to drink during a workout session. I guess marathon runners don’t have any discipline, for all I know.

The fact is that a properly hydrated body can withstand a workout session 30-45 minutes in length without water. After that it must be hydrated. Yes, we all heard about the Special Operation Forces; they workout the whole day and don’t eat or drink. That may be true, but this type of training doesn’t last long. Few days, a week at most. However, most of us are not training for special missions (although we sure do wish we were). We want to know how to defend ourselves, or win a tournament. Going for a long time without water, is not a requirement for us.

Let’s look at some facts. I am not trying to bring back H.S. biology class. Just want to give you some general ideas. An average human body is 80% water. Muscles however are 75% water. The fact is that muscles loose elasticity with diminishing water content. They get tight and if nothing is done, spasms might develop.

Martial Artists happens to be on the higher end of the water loss, as compared to other athletes. Our sport is highly aerobic, thus highly heat producing. When sweat is excreted to cool the body, water is lost. Let’s not forget about exercise metabolism. Fat is burned, sugar is burned, and protein is converted. Metabolic products are produced. Some are very toxic. If they are to sit in a body for too long, illness can develop. Our bodies try to prevent it from happening. Toxic metabolites are quickly diluted and excreted. There goes water loss through the kidneys.

Oh, and let’s not forget about shouting. Most martial arts styles yell, like there is no tomorrow. There goes water loss, and a lot of it. Lungs facilitate water loss, just as much as the next guy. Who is “kia- ing” now? Don’t take my word for it. Remember what happens when you speak a lot? Long speeches make the throat mouth and lips dry. That’s what most of us notice, but the train doesn’t stop there. To hydrate those areas, water is drawn out of the muscles. No wonder your performance suffers. Remember drinking water is not only necessary to keep the mouth moist, but everything else as well.

It is safe to say that most people are dehydrated but don’t even know it. Thirst is not the fist signal of dehydration. It’ may not even be the second. So if you do experience thirst, watch out.

Here are some very common symptoms of dehydration:

Fatigue
Digestive discomfort
Headaches
Constipation
Anger
Etc.

As a matter of fact, some experts related dehydration to more serious conditions, such as:

Ulcers
Obesity
Asthma
Allergies

If you want to know more, feel free to do some research.

Remember an elder person, will experience these symptoms more than a youngster, even if the level of dehydration is the same.

If after reading this you decide to drink more water. Remember pure water is the best choice. Go for bottled or filtered variety. If you are active 10-12 glasses will serve you right.

Tip:

Heard about athletic drinks?
To replace expensive and artificial re-hydration beverages, try this:

Into a litter of water add sea salt and raw organic dehydrated cane juice. These substances are the most natural and pure sources of salt and sugar. They are not refined and contain many useful vitamins and minerals. The pureness of this substances, minimizes the negative effects of salt and sugar that we are used to hear about. Experiment with taste. Besides replenishing nutrients lost while sweating, this drink helps to prevent water loss, and facilitates water retention in your cells.

Try this for a few weeks as a supplementation to your ElasticSteel program, and you may be marveled by the results.

Best Wishes,

Why Women’s Walking Shoes are the Best Shoes You can Ever Own

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.

Physical Therapist’s Solution to a Rotator Cuff Tear That May Help You Avoid Surgery

After a thorough physical examination, including x-rays, my Doctor diagnosed my arm and shoulder pain as a rotator cuff tear and naturally suggested immediate surgery. “The Ultimate Rotator Cuff Training Guide” by Physical Therapist Brian Schiff has so far saved me from having to go through that surgery.

After I heard the Doctor’s diagnosis and suggestion, I searched the library and the internet for non-surgical solutions. I may have found a possible answer. I started using Brian Schiff’s Training Guide and followed his very explicit directions for the stretching, range of motion moves and exercises. I am in week 2 of a 4-6 week regime and have noticed a marked improvement.

In this article I am attempting to explain how this Training Guide has worked for me and would suggest that you to try this method before considering surgery.

Brian Schiff graduated from The Ohio State University in 1996 with a Bachelor of Science degree of Physical Therapy in Allied Health Professions. Since then, he has practiced as a licensed physical therapist specializing in sports medicine. Through the National Strength and Conditioning Association, Brian became a certified strength and conditioning specialist (CSCS) in 1998.

By doing the exercises in “The Ultimate Rotator Cuff Training Guide”, I came to understand that it was a highly efficient system for relieving pain in the shoulder. Brian Schiff put together the guide for people with frozen shoulder, osteoarthritis, Rotator Cuff tendonitis, Rotator Cuff tears, impingement or bursitis.

Don’t be intimidated by the fancy words, Brian explains what they all mean and how to use the exercises to alleviate pain. He goes into a detailed description of each particular problem and how to best use the different exercises to your greatest advantage.

There is one disadvantage. It is recommended that the stretching and range of motion moves be done everyday. To some this may seem daunting, but it is definitely worth it to work this into your daily schedule. This is not a magic pill; it will take at least 4-6 weeks to start feeling the relief from your regular routine.

In the Ultimate Rotator Guide one of its most valued points is that Brain doesn’t just write out how to do each motion, he has pictures of him actually performing each move. This is extremely helpful in showing you the right form for each exercise. The right form is essential in making the motions work for you. So, not only does he outline how to do the moves in the eBook, he has added pictures in all aspects of each move. In the very beginning of the eBook he answers frequently asked questions that he knows from experience.

Another invaluable part of getting his eBook is that if you have any other questions you can email him. I did, and he always got back to me on the same day.

The Ultimate Rotator Guide is a truly concise map to overcoming shoulder pain. The eBook logically and easily pulls you through the process of using these exercises to eliminate pain in an attempt to avoid shoulder surgery.

Do not think this will instantly heal you, it will take practice. You must do the exercises on a consistent basis. It is critical that you follow the directions to achieve your goal of a pain free shoulder.

When I first started the program I thought that it was impossible to take this much time everyday. However, after the first week when I had practiced the moves it didn’t take nearly as much time as in the beginning. I was able to smoothly do all the moves in less than thirty minutes.

Normally there are always some weaknesses in eBooks but I couldn’t find any in the Ultimate Rotator Guide. My experience is that it is taking away most of my Rotator Cuff pain and is keeping me away from Rotator Cuff surgery. Remember, I am in week two and much has been accomplished.

Wouldn’t you use a program that would take away most, if not all of your shoulder pain? If you want to learn how to strengthen your shoulder and relieve your aching I would highly recommend “The Ultimate Rotator Training Guide”. In fact, I give it 9 out of 10. I can’t thank Brian enough for supplying this valuable information and hopefully saving me from surgery.

Cardio’s Effect on Overall Health

When most people hear the word “Cardio”, their mind automatically pictures jogging, or threadmills, or stationnary bikes. Yes, those are some forms of cardio. They also think it’s only purpose is to loose fat. But doing cardio has many benefits.

• Cardio helps prevent heart attacks due to clogged arteries in heavier people.
• Cardio strenghtens your heart and can lenghten your life span.
• It decreases depression and anxiety.
• It shows off the muscles that you have.
• It prevents high blood pressure and can promote a lower resting heart rate.
• It can allow you to do more work while putting less of a strain on your heart.
• It increases the overal function, and well-being of your life.
• Helps increase bloodflow to your muscles, wich helps bring more nutrients to them for better performance & growth.
• It increases the overall heart functions.

So you see, cardio has alot of benefits that far surpass any aesthetic reason. But where does Cardio fit in ones body building routine? Well that depends on your body type. If your like me, and have a hard time gaining muscle. Then you should be carefull when doing cardio. I was worried that cardio would give me less gains, but then after seeing all the benefits that cardio can give you, I decided that it was worth doing them for the sake of my health. So I only do them 2 times a week. But for someone who wants to loose weight, doing cardio 3-5 times a week would speed things up.

So what type of exercise constitutes cardio? Well you have your basic exercises like jogging, rollerbladding, swimming. But cardio could be any type of activity that requires alot of moving. Sports like basketball, football, soccer could be considered cardio. Or you could een get creative, you could take a heavy bag of sand, put it up on a table or anything else, and just pick it up and put it back down several times. It could be hitting a punching bag. Use your imagination.

The most important thing is that you keep cardio fun. Since it’s pretty easy to get bored sitting on a bike in the gym. So taking a ride on a bike in the woods would be alot more fun. Think about that when you think up some type of cardio you’d like to do. “Will I like doing this?”

That’s pretty much it as far as cardio is concerned, It’s a great way to keep healthy. So you’d be an idiot NOT to do some cardio.

Cardio Workout Plan - My Favorite Fat Burning Workout

One of the top questions I receive is “What should I do for my cardio workout plan?” I usually answer with a question; “What do you enjoy doing for your cardio workout?”

It doesn’t matter so much what you do for cardio. It’s doing what you enjoy. If I suggest you run 3-10 minute miles for your cardio workout plan and you have never ran in your life or you hate running, how successful of a plan would that be?

Let’s cover a few of the basics:

• Low intensity-is working at around the 60% range of your target heart rate. 220 - 40 = 180 (maximum heart rate). 180 x 60% =108 beats per minute.
• Low intensity is easy to do so you can workout longer and a great idea for someone beginning a cardio workout plan.
• Low intensity is low risk. Most anyone can start a low intensity workout plan
• Low intensity is burns a higher percentage of calories from fat.

You just stopped at fat burning and have decided on low intensity didn’t you? Let’s take a look at high intensity cardio.

• High intensity would be working at around 75-85% of your maximum heart rate. Using the same calculations above a 40 year old would have a range of 135-153 beats per minute
• High intensity cardio continues to burn calories at a higher rate long after you have completed your workout.
• You will burn more calories faster. You can walk 1 mile in 20 minutes and burn 100 calories or you can run a mile in 10 minutes and burn 100 calories.
• High intensity can increase muscle mass. Look at the difference in sprinters and marathon runners.

Here’s the question to ask yourself; What if I do both? Hmmm…could that possibly work? Sure, it’s called interval training. You work at a moderate pace for 3-5 minutes, depending on your level of fitness, and then work at a high intensity for 30 seconds to 1 minute. Work at a 5/1 minute ratio. If you are starting at an intermediate level you could work at a 3/1 minute ratio.

There are several ways you can set up your interval cardio workout plan. I will use a treadmill workout for an example since a treadmill has a timer and is very versatile. Always take about 5 minutes to warm up first.

Walking/Beginner-After your warm up walk briskly for 3-5 minutes and then jog lightly for 1 minute. As your fitness level increases you can shorten the walk to 3 minutes. Repeat your intervals until you have reached your goal mileage or time.

Running/Intermediate-After your warm up run at a moderate pace for 3-5 minutes and then run full out for 1 minute. As your fitness level improves you will decrease your moderate time and even pick up the pace a little. Remember, the goal is your target heart rate.

You can use the same cardio workout plan with the elevation on your treadmill. On your one minute intervals or high intensity interval, increase the elevation as high as is safely possible for you.

I’ve used a treadmill for my example but you can use the same idea with running outside, an elliptical trainer, spin bike, bicycle, aerobic dancing; anything you like.

So my answer to, “what is the best cardio workout plan?” Do what you enjoy first of all and integrate interval training for a maximum fat burning cardio workout plan.

Who Else Wants To Build Muscle Fast?

I see it all the time. Guys in the gym doing set after set of
all these different exercises, and if you looked at these same
people 3 months from now they have not really changed physically
all that much, maybe a little more toned but nothing really
noticeable. And the elusive question “How do I build more muscle” is still the battlecry.

Well guys it is not adding more sets, or adding more reps,
it is not adding more time in the gym? All these isolated type
exercises, are really not going to give you the lasting muscle that you are looking for. Are you ready for the answer?

Intensity+2compound exercises+lots of rest=lots of muscle.

You only need (2) exercises to build muscle. SQUATS+DEADLIFTS.
And i mean all the muscle you want. The trick is if you put
all of your effort into just these 2 exercises I promise you
you will be amazingly surprised at how fast you will grow.

These 2 exercises have such an “anabolic effect” on the entire
body and nervous system it is hard to imagine. These are two
compound exercises that will effect just about every muscle in
your body. Plus the fact when you add in the chemical equation
“testosterone” and “Human Growth hormone” what it does for the
muscle building process no 2 exercise are better.

Too add more muscle you have to do Compound Exercises. This workout is not for the faint of heart. If done right it is a killer workout believe me when i tell you it will wipe you out.

You have to provide major muscle stimulus to the larger muscle groups in “short intense wokouts” with adequate nutrition and rest to override the “catabolic effect” that breaks down muscle
during these intense workouts.

An extra benefit to this workout is you get a great “cardio”
workout at the same time. Because your heart will be pumping
out of your chest and your breathing will be accelerated tremendously. No more riding the bike, or jogging.

Now everybody is different but I will give you a rough guideline to follow. 2-3 days a week, preferably 2 that’s it.
These are your workout days. I would say 48-72 hrs in between for adequate recovery. Now I did a total of (10) sets. I started
out doing 25 reps, 20, 15, 10, 5. On each of these 2 exercises.
Increasing the weight with each set. See what is right for you.
“The Key” is intensity and effort, push yourself to reasonable
limits. Your body will be spent. 2-3 minute rest periods.

Now you will have to spend a day or two to get the proper weight
for each set, because you want each set to take you to the max.
This type of program you will know if you have to drop weight
or add weight just by how you feel after you have completed a set. if you feel you could do more add weight to the set. If
less you will not be able to do the desired amount of reps.

A question I get is how does this build my upper body? I will tell you from personal experience my arms grew 2-3 inches without ever doing a bicep curl or a trcicep ext. or dip. Because again of the overall anabolic effect that it has on the total body. Think about it? What muscles are you using? Legs, arms, back, shoulders, arms, chest, (deep breathing).

Now i will tell you this. Most people who read this probably
won’t follow my advice. Why? Because this workout is too difficult for most people, and human nature being what it is
people tend to take the easy way out. I have just given you a shortcut to building muscle and it won’t take years. You will
see major results in “90″ days or sooner. It’s up to you!

Rest,Rest,Rest, and more rest. This is when your body builds
new tissue. This is when you reap the rewards of your hard labor
do not compromise this. Take naps during the day. 6-8 hours a
night if you can.

Diet? I was famished on this routine. To accelerate muscle growth I would say to get lots of protein. Ex. i gram per pound of bodyweight.If you weigh 220 take in 220 grams. For me I did
smoothies, and protein shakes, 2-3 times a day plus my regular
3-4 meals. Try to get a shake in within an hour after you workout. And right before you go to bed to slow down muscle wasting. Lots of Fibrous carbs, and baked potatoe, and yams.
I use to bring cans of tuna on the road with me.

Try to use “Whey” and Casein” protein. One is digested rather fast the other slowly. They compliment each other. Remember to build muscle you have to take in “extra calories” to build added muscle weight. And with this workout you will be burning
lots of calories. So pay attention to your diet. If you want
by adding “creatine” which is a supplement and in red meat, you
will add to the fullness of the muscle, and volume. But it is not neccesary for results.

So there you have it! Take 2 exercises and call me in the morning!

Who else? Wants to get in shape fast!

“Enough Already! Stop Coming Up With ‘New’ Weight Loss Programs…

Great weight loss techniques are completely worthless.

That’s a true statement 99.7% of the time.

Great weight loss techniques are a scam on oneself.

That’s also a true statement 99.7% of the time.

Great weight loss techniques NEVER make you thin, lean, healthy, or sexy!

Also a true statement 99.7% of the time.

Great weight loss techniques waste your time, and get you really frustrated..

Again, a true statement 99.7% of the time.

Great weight loss techniques almost ruined my life and my business.

I stopped it - As soon as I saw this horrifying trend in the industry years ago, I stopped testing our new technique after new technique on my clients.

You might think that makes me sound like a quitter - but let me explain how this simple ’step back’ allowed my clients to all take 10 steps forward towards their goals.

I define Information Overload as: A condition whereby weight loss techniques come to you in such abundance that you have trouble keeping up with all of them.

When you turn on the television you see them, when you listen to the radio you hear about them, when you enter a store you see signs for them, and they’re all “new”, and they all proclaim to have finally found a revolutionary combination of exercises, or diets, or nutrients, or some other new gadget that promises you the body of a model or of a bodybuilder if you just buy one bottle of pills or one new system, etc, etc, etc…

For 15 years, my staff and I tested all the new products we came across, trying to determine what worked and what didn’t.

When we found a technique that worked, we tested it and tested it and tested it again to make sure that it worked every time it was used by someone.

But there was one common denominator - everything that worked, everything that was actually getting people great results, was already known to man.

Not many of the “new” techniques were actually working.

Every few days. Another technique came across my desk that was supposed to make people thin and healthy. It was amazing.

People trying to lose weight were caught up on Information Overload. They were literally paralyzed because they had too much information. they literally had no idea how or where to get started, and when they did start, they changed direction every time they came across another ‘miracle weight loss technique’.

It’s a vicious cycle that continues today.

Does any of this sound familiar?

To many, you know this scenario all to well. All to well.

Having loads of information, at first, is thought to be a good thing by most. Years later, when you’ve done nothing you realize this fact…

Information Overload is an enemy. One that if not controlled will hold hostage your goals and dreams.

There’s only one way out.

Decide on 1 tried and true weight loss program that ‘does it’ for you.

And open fire on the enemy with your only weapon.

Take Action.

Massive action.

It’s the step that changed my life and the lives of my clients around the world.

—————————

Some of you are asking, “Where did Charles find the information to help him finally take control this life-destroying monster and reach his goals”.

Scroll down. It’s in the PS of this email.

P.S. Charles put all other program aside, he stopped listening to everyone in the gym who willingly wanted to share their ’secrets’ with him, and he quickly changed the channels on the radio and television every time another unsubstantiated weight loss program was being advertised that would just add to his Information Overload. Then he picked up a copy of the Living Health Weight Loss Audio and listened over and over again to 3 deceptively simple techniques that helped him clear his mind of all the garbage, and start getting real, healthy, fast results.
