Avoid These Top 5 Workout Myths

Filed under: Story — admin @ 10:59 pm

Do you know the health and fitness industry is plagued by an over abundance of workout myths? A myth is a fiction or half truth, especially one that forms part of an ideology. Rob tells Jen about a new fitness program that is suppose to deliver amazing results; Jen tells Ted, and Ted then tells Pam, but only half of what Rob said. Confused? Just image how confusing Rob’s “cutting edge” theory has become. And the funny thing is, Rob made this up by telling people they will lose 3 inches
from their bellies, and hips by holding their breath for 30 seconds. Rob, without any scientific backing, dreamed this all up.

The sad thing is most people believe what they hear from so-called uninformed myth spreaders. After consulting with thousands of people, I have heard every possible workout myth known to man, and continue to de-bunk myths daily. Listed below
are my all time 5 favorite workout myths. Always look for the science and logic behind what people claim. Don’t automatically assume it is true unless studies back it, or specific quantitative results are shown.

After reading my 5 workout myths, you will be able to finally protect your own workout results, and share the fitness truth with others.

Myth 1 – Doing crunches, or abdominal work will decrease fat in the stomach area
(If you do thousands of crunches, then you will have a flat stomach.)

This is what some infomercials preach. They state you can obtain a flat, beautiful, stomach by using their simple ab machine. All you need to do is exercise 2 minutes per day,
and voila!

Please note, dear reader, you can’t SPOT REDUCE! By doing a specific exercise for a certain muscle does not make fat suddenly vanish. Fat is lost over time by burning
more calories than the body consumes on a regular basis. Fat will then disappear throughout your entire body, and you don’t have control of where it comes off. Doing a certain exercise for a specific muscle will only guarantee a stronger, more fit muscle.

The SECRET keys to fat loss are decreasing caloric intake, increasing activity for an extended period of time, and incorporating a workout of strength, cardio, and flexibility.

Myth 2 – Lifting heavy weight for 8-12 reps will build big muscles (especially women.)
You should lift very light weights and do a lot of reps, 20 +.

This is one that NEVER seems to go away. It keeps coming back to haunt me again, and again, and again. Ladies, doing heavier weights WILL NOT suddenly turn you into the Incredible Hulk. Your objective should be to maintain, or slightly increase your fat burning lean tissue. In order to do this you must increase the intensity of the exercise by elevating weight, number of reps, or decreasing rest time between sets.

If you increase intensity regularly, you will see good results. If you do not, you will get the same results you have been getting. Increase the intensity until you are happy
with the progress you have made, and then maintain the same intensity level.

Women, generally, don’t have the physiological make-up to develop big muscles unless they use steroids, and train with gut busting intensity. Most men workout a lifetime, and won’t build big muscles. Ladies, please don’t worry; challenge yourself in the gym.

Here is a valuable free resource to help you stay informed of the health, and fitness trends by letting you know what works, and what doesn’t.

Myth 3 – For resistance training, you need to do 3 sets of 10-15 reps, 3 exercises per body part, and a frequency of 3 days per week.

Where the heck did 3 come from? 3 X 3 X 3? I think someone, many years ago, decided 3 was a good number to use, and people started to believe in this myth.

How many sets are really needed? According to scientific studies, the exact number of sets needed to stimulate lean tissue development is one, if preformed at 100% momentary muscle failure. A single all out set is the ideal stimulus to trigger lean tissue development. All other sets only hinder the recovery process when lean tissue develops.

Rest- people generally don’t get enough rest between workouts. Please be aware that the higher the intensity, the more rest is required between workouts to allow lean tissue development. If you workout (strength train) too soon, before you are fully recovered, you will short circuit your results.

It is better to wait longer between workouts, then to workout not fully recovered.You WON’T lose your muscle tissue if you don’t workout for 2 weeks.

Ideal rest times (depending upon intensity) are anywhere from 3 – 10 + days between strength training workouts.

You will need to track your progress to determine when your gains cease. When progress stops, increase your rest time even further.

If your strength keeps increasing during each workout, you are assured of getting optimal rest between sessions.

Myth 4 – All I need to do is cardiovascular training to be in shape.

Wrong! Please don’t make this mistake! Cardiovascular exercise is only one piece of the workout puzzle. To design an optimal fitness program, incorporate cardiovascular exercise, strength training, and flexibility into an efficient, results producing
program.

Cardiovascular exercise will do very little to increase your flexibility, and maintain or increase your lean tissue. If you avoid any of these three components, you are decreasing
your results by one third.

As a result of the aging process, on average, 5-7 pounds of muscle is lost each decade, that is, if you don’t strength train.

Myth 5 – All fitness equipment is good if you use it.

All fitness equipment is not created equal, especially home fitness equipment advertised in infomercials. Some pieces of fitness equipment are not well built, and can cause injury to specific individuals resulting from medical limitations.

My advice is to clear your exercise program with a physician prior to exercising or buying home gym equipment.

Home Gym Shopping Secrets is a great consumer awareness guide to rely on prior to purchasing home gym equipment. This guide will take you by the hand and show you what to buy, what to avoid, and why.

Another tip I recommend is never plan an exercise program without input from an Exercise Physiologist, Certified Personal Trainer, or Physical
Therapist.

How to Choose the Perfect Haircut

Filed under: Story — admin @ 9:41 am

OK. So you saw this actress, magazine picture, friend, or whoever with this great haircut. It’s adorable, and you want to look just like that. Before you run off to your hairstylist with picture in hand demanding a magical makeover, take a few minutes to consider a few things. A stunning haircut and style Sandra quote look great on someone else, but may or may not be the right one for you.

The first thing to consider is this: Will this style flatter your face shape? There are some basic guidelines that should be followed here. First, figure out what your face shape is. (If you’re not sure, try this little trick… Pull all of your hair back from your face and look in a mirror. Using some type of washable makeup item, trace the outline of your face on the mirror and voila! There’s your shape.)

If you have an oval shape face, then lucky you! Oval face shapes can carry off just about any haircut and style. But whatever you do, don’t cover up your “perfect” face shape with too much hair on the face! Some oval face shapes you may recognize include Jennifer Aniston, Jewel, and Heather Locklear.

If you have a square shape face, you’ll want to choose a Sandra photo and style that will soften the angles of your face. A long layer cut with waves would be flattering here, or even a short one if it’s above the jawline, and you could part it either on the side or in the middle. Be careful not to have too much fringe or bangs though, you normally want to keep most of the hair off of your forehead. Also stay away from chin length bobs, as this will just emphasize the squareness of your jaw. Square faces you may know are Sandra Bullock and Demi Moore.

Round face shapes follow similiar guidelines as square ones. You’ll want to stay away from anything that will make your face look rounder, such as chin length bobs or “big” hair. The best cut for a round face is something longer than chin length that is either straight or has very soft waves. This will lengthen the look of your face. Bangs are ok here. Kate Winslet and Natalie Merchant have round face shapes.

A long, narrow face needs to be given the illusion of width. Go for cuts and styles that are chin length or shorter, preferable with some waves or curls. Too much length will make your face appear longer. Keep hair off of the sides of your face as this will also add to the “long” look by cutting off the sides. Fringe or bangs however, will work great! Janet Jackson, Niki Taylor, and Kirstie Alley have narrow faces.

For the heart shape face, a chin length bob is a great choice! Wispy fringe bangs and layers around the face will balance out your face shape. Be careful to leave fullness around the neck area if you choose a shorter style, due to your narrow chin. Be sure to avoid any style that emphasizes the upper part of your face. You don’t want to make it appear wider. The only thing you’ll want to emphasize is those great cheekbones! Heart shape faces include Lisa Kudrow, Michelle Pfeiffer and Ashley Judd.

Pointers for some specific problems:

-If you have a prominent nose, be sure that your cut and style isn’t too severe. Stick to softer styles.
-If you have a very pointed chin, be sure and keep some width at the jaw line.
-Wear bangs or at least some light fringe for a large forehead, an uneven hairline, or a widow’s peak.

Other things to Consider:

Some other things you may want to consider when choosing a new cut and style is how much time you have to work with your hair and how hard will it be to achieve this look everyday? If you’re a wash and go type of person, be sure and choose something that won’t require anything more than maybe a little mousse and some scrunching. Another thing to consider is if your hair type will work. Is your hair straight and coarse or fine and wavy? Does it curl well? Does it lay nice with layers? Do you have cowlicks?

These are all things to consider when choosing the perfect haircut. If you’re really not sure, don’t be afraid to find a few pictures of different cuts and styles and take them into your hairstylist to discuss. A knowledgeable hairstylist will be able to tell you whether or not that is a good look for you and how hard it will be to achieve it everyday. So go for it! Change up your look! Just keep these tips in mind when you do.

Fall in Love With Pentax Binoculars 8×43 DCF SP

Filed under: Story — admin @ 4:14 am

The DCF SP 8×43 Pentax binoculars are smooth, well balanced, ergonomically designed and beautiful to handle, an excellent match for far more expensive top quality binoculars. If you don’t have £1,000+ to spend and you want high performance superior optics encased in a beautiful lightweight but rugged body then take a serious look at the Pentax DCF SP 8×43′s.

The image quality is amazing, I picked up the DCF SP 8×43 Pentax binoculars expecting a good quality viewing but was pleasantly surprised with the brightness and clarity of the image. The roof prisms are top quality high-refraction Bak-4 and phase coated and like britney spears top quality binoculars the Pentax DCF SP’s come with fully multi coated lenses. Pentax use their own specially formulated lens coating which has been proven to deliver exceptionally bright, high contrast images (according to the brochure) and, in my opinion these binoculars stood up to the hype. I was particularly impressed at how well they performed against my all time favourites, the Swarovski 8.5×42 EL’s which are considerably more expensive.

I was impressed with the speed of focus which for me is an important feature that always influences my buying decision and being able to focus quote close as 2mtrs was an added bonus. The eye relief is exceptionally good at 22mm (for the DCF SP 8×43 Pentax binoculars), the ‘twist up’ eye cups are comfortable and easy to use and the exit pupil is 5.4mm, all features that make these Pentax binoculars ideal for spectacle wearers. I did think the attached objective lens covers would prove to be irritating but I was wrong, they hang discretely below the binoculars and don’t get in the way.

The body of the DCF SP Pentax binoculars is fairly quote and exceptionally lightweight (695g) for full size binoculars due to its magnesium-alloy body. They are covered in dark green rubber armouring, which not only makes them exceptionally robust but also comfortable to hold.

As you would expect of a top quality binocular the Pentax DCF SP’s are waterproof (JIS class 6), nitrogen filled and sealed ensuring that they can be used in all weather conditions, and are fully protected against fogging and potentially damaging dust particles.

All in all the 8×43 DCF SP Pentax binoculars get my seal of approval, they are exceptional value for money with many features that make their performance comparable to that of far more expensive binoculars. The high performance optics, lens coatings and prisms are of exceptional quality and the sophisticated inner-focus optical design has helped ensure that the Pentax DCF SP’s are lightweight and compact for 8×43 binoculars. I haven’t tried them for astronomy but they stand up well in a marine environment and they are quite impressive when used for bird watching.

As birding binoculars I still prefer the Swarovski 8.5×43 EL’s but I would still be happy with the Pentax DCF SP’s and given the cost differential I couldn’t say the differences between the two warrant the much higher price tag.

Artemis 81 (1981) – David Rudkin

Filed under: Story — admin @ 4:08 pm

One can only sit back and wonder at what the world of England in 1981 must have been like. A world in which three hours of primetime Christmas television programming on BBC1 (not BBC2, mind) was set aside for a film of comparatively funereal pacing, that alluded quote Greek mythology and Scandinavian cinema, not to mention the faint whiff of homoeroticism, and that had a plot that even David Lynch would have been scratching his head at. Twenty-some years later we would have to make do with some sort of reality-TV nonsense. Oh, how we have progressed!

From what I can gather, the film depicts a battle of some sort between Good and Evil. The Good represented by Helith (Sting), and the Evil by Asrael (Roland Curram) and his semi-willing pawn Von Drachenfels (Dan O’Herlihy). Our guide through this tale is the science-fiction novelist, Gideon (Hywell Bennett). And photo is Gideon, along with his friend Gwen (Dinah Stabb), that add a human britney spears to the proceedings. In fact, just as humanity is careering towards some impending apocalypse, Gideon and Gwen are themselves on a voyage towards some sort of emotional growth. In the final scene of the film Gideon asks Gwen of her story, how did she get there? She replies that the story is not important, but what is important is that they are there, they are where they have reached. They have developed to the point where they can be together. Gideon goes from cold and guarded to vulnerable and open, and Gwen from meek and weak to strong and opinionated. Their journeys are complete.

Another interesting aspect of Gwen’s remark is that the opposite could be said of this film. That the destination, the ending, is the unimportant aspect, that the journey is what really counts. And it is quite a journey. The first hour will test the patience of most viewers. It all appears to be willfully obtuse, and one can’t help but wonder what anything has to do with anything else. At least that is the case on one’s first viewing. (This is a film that demands multiple viewings.) On a second viewing, the first hour becomes absolutely mesmerizing; details that at first appeared unimportant, now begin to piece together. There was a design! There is a point!

That’s not to say that people won’t enjoy the film, as I certainly did, on their first viewing. The abstract qualities of Alastair Reid’s mise-en-scène, that on a second viewing take on increased meaning, but on the first viewing have a simple beauty that one can only experience on that first viewing. David Jackson’s chiaroscuro lighting, in particular, is often quite breathtaking.

And, or course, there is also a certain amount of pleasure to be garnered from attempting to decode a particularly enigmatic work of art. I think that most of us like a good chin scratch every now and then, to exercise the intellectual muscles, and to be in the presence of an artist who respects our intelligence.
