Researchers in the study were unable to conclude why the evening workouts were more effective. During sleep, your body repairs and recovers muscular tissue. Growth hormone plays a vital role in weight-training recovery. Growth hormone also assists in fat breakdown and repairing lean muscle tissue.

Hitting each muscle group with roughly the same volume (such as five sets of rows after five sets of bench presses) will ensure balanced training, allowing you to grow quickly and safely, avoiding injuries and preserving flexibility. DRINK SHAKES Surround your workout with nutrition, starting with a high protein- and-carbohydrate meal about an hour beforehand.
Avatar f tn t like eating all day long, so what I do is just make sure to incorporate meat at every meal and I have had no problems getting fit, building muscle and recovering from workouts just by listening to the cues my body gives me. Honestly I wouldn't even advise anyone to follow a strict calorie plan, and 1200 calories is very low for someone who isn't sedentry.
Avatar f tn Hi im a 13 year old girl and i am overweight for my height and age group. My height is 157cm and i am very nearly turning 14. I want to know if there are any workouts that will help me to get in shape quickly and it should also be fairly easy! please help! also i heard that there are some food that help you to burn fat??? what are they??
Avatar m tn I do not know your routine or frequency but here are a couple of basic guidelines that my professional trainer gave me. First, For muscle growth and strength, no muscle group should be worked more than three times a week with at least on day rest in between. All workouts should NOT exceed 60 min.a day, and be sure to drink fluids throughout the workout to avoid dehydration, muscle cramps and stiffness. An example of an average workout would be; 3 sets of 8-12 reps with one min.
Avatar f tn s what I am thinking. When you work out a muscle group, say, quads (when you do squats or lunges), you are not supposed to work that muscle group the next day. You should rest at least 1 day in between. If you alternate muscle groups, you'd have time to get in some aerobic (or cardio) exercise with each workout. Strength training, which is what you are currently doing is the BEST way to increase your metabolism. Cardio is the BEST way to burn fat.

Avatar m tn It first started out as issues with major soreness after weekend of house chores in yard and after gym workouts. The gym workouts did not concern me as much because I could cause some stress on muscle with weight lifting but after yardwork did not make sense because I do that every week for years and not any major yardwork, just mowing and weeding. It started with fatigue and muscle soreness all over my body which I could not explain.
Avatar f tn My workouts suffered in the first trimester due to being so tired and nauseous. I the kind of person that when o stop working out, I put on a few pounds quickly. So even before pregnancy weight, I felt like I gained a few right off the bat due to slowing my workouts. I am certified in TaeBo and also rode a bicycle a lot - I had to give up the bicycle (due to risk of falling) and even when I felt well enough to go to TaeBo class, my intensity was down.
Avatar f tn Zumba involves both fast and slow dancing, so it works like interval training. Zumba works your whole body, helping tone every muscle group, particularly your back and abdominals. The dance moves may also improve your posture, balance and flexibility. If you feel inhibited exercising with others, Zumba's party-like amosphere may help you loosen up and gain confidence.
Avatar f tn m 21 years old and I found that I got the most flat/toned stomach when I began weight training. (Incorporated with ab workouts after). When you build muscle your body will burn more calories at rest than it would with less muscle mass. Incorporate cardio too, about 20 minutes. I also eat a diet with a lot of whole grains, fruits veggies, and no junk food like chips or anything like that.
Avatar n tn People who fail at gaining muscle are failing because they are toning the muscle by doing too much at the gym. To gain muscle, less is more. So lift MUCH heavier for less time! Try protien powders as supplements as protien helps the muscle to repair itself, but just remember it's healthier to get your nutrients from food as much as possible.
Avatar f tn By volume, muscle does weigh more than fat. Fact.
Avatar f tn Men can do cardio workouts five times a week for 30-minute sessions, or break up the workout into shorter, more frequent sessions. You can start out by walking outside or on a treadmill. Record your workouts and measure your weight loss in inches and pounds each week to stay on track and see your progress. You might build muscle mass in the beginning, which weighs more than fat, so do not be alarmed if your weight fluctuates at first.
Avatar f tn Lower Abdominal Slide This exercise is especially beneficial for new moms after c-section because it targets the lower stomach muscles, which are affected by surgery. Start by lying on your back with your feet flat on the floor with your arms straight at your sides, palms facing down. Keep the pelvis tucked in to work the muscles. Contract your abdominal muscles to slide your right leg straight out, slowly and in a controlled motion.
Avatar f tn Im starting to run/walk and i also want to start doing ab workouts as well as squats, so basically i just want to know if should do the workouts before or after running/walking?. .. or does it even matter?
Avatar f tn I wanted to do my normal routine as well. I am definitely a fitness girl, but I toned my workouts way back just to be safe. I did fast paced walking until 32 weeks. Now, at 37 weeks I can't walk much. I do toning and strength training with light or no weights (lunges and squats are my favorite). My husband is a personal trainer, so I had to just accept slower workouts and just focus on retaining muscle memory. It's better to be a little conservative for the benefit of your baby.
Avatar f tn m a cross country runner, so i eat a lot more down and my workouts vary depending on the team). Anyways, since i lost all this weight, my body has changed and i'm much thinner but sadly i still have some untone muscle and skin on my stomach and little flubber on my upper upper inner thighs. Daily I run anywhere from 3-6 miles and i do three sets of crunches, "russian twists", planks, and lunges.
1292438 tn?1276120904 Assume a pushup position with your arms completely straight, but place your hands on a Swiss ball instead of the floor. Your body should form a straight line from your head to your ankles. Tighten your core and hold it that way for the duration of the exercise [A]. Lift one foot off the floor and slowly raise your knee as close to your chest as you can without changing your lower-back posture. Then repeat with your other leg. Alternate back and forth for 30 seconds.
