- The Fat Burning Zone: Why It Will Make You Fatter!
By: Caroline Radway | - I'm sure you have heard about the 'fat burning zone' (usually seen demonstrated on a graph on the cardio equipment in your gym). The implication is that you should work out less hard to burn more fat. Now this is a very tempting concept, is it not? Why should you work out hard if you're not actually burning fat? Might as well chill out and read a magazine while moving as little as possible, just to make sure that every single calorie you burn off is pure fat? Well, sorry to bre ...

- Why Resistance Training Is Important For Bodybuilders
By: Dane Fletcher | - In bodybuilding, lifts are very important. They are exercises you cannot necessarily ignore. They make a good component of the professional bodybuilding.

By: Colleen Trombley-VanHoogstraat | - Are you overwhelmed by the thought of starting an exercise program? Not sure where to begin?
From the wellness perspective, the entire point of exercising is to meet your body's innate genetic requirements for movement. We were born to move! Motion is life.
This doesn't necessarily mean that we were born to lift weights or run marathons or do wind sprints or do yoga or Pilates! Movement doesn't need to be labeled... it just needs to be done.

- Circuit Training For Weight Loss And Muscle Tone
By: Tom Fazio | - Circuit training is one of the most effective workout routines for both building muscle and burning fat. Depending on the length and quantity of resistance, circuit training can pack on extra pounds of lean muscle quickly, or it can shed those extra pounds of body fat that stubbornly hang around after you've spent hours and hours on the treadmill.
For those who don't know, circuit training is essentially crunching an entire workout routine into a short and intense circuit with li ...

- Resistance Training - Strength Training For Yesterday Today And Tomorrow
By: WillieG | - Resistance Training - Strength Training for Yesterday Today and Tomorrow
There was a time, in the not-too distant past, that many people associated exercise with aerobic exercises only. Aerobic exercise uses large muscles groups, in a rhythmic fashion over an extended period of time. Running, cycling, swimming and the like, enhance cardiorespiratory fitness, while strengthening the heart and lungs.
Consistent retesting of athletes cardiorespiratory fitness by a n ...

- Resistance Training Tips For Your Fat Loss Program
By: Tom Fazio | - Resistance training is an important component of any fat loss program. Resistance training includes any exercise that adds resistance or weight to a movement, like weightlifting, bodyweight calisthenics, plyometrics, isometrics, and rubber band training.
Many people wrongly assume that resistance training inevitably leads to large bulky muscles. Don't worry ladies, this isn't the case. It's actually quite difficult to add lean muscle mass, and you lack the testosterone that a ...

By: Colleen Trombley-VanHoogstraat | - There are many reasons for cardiovascular exercise, some scientifically valid - some not. The more common ones I hear are: for weight loss, for fat loss, to burn calories, to exercise and train my heart, to prevent heart disease, to alleviate stress, for the sheer enjoyment of it and because my doctor or a trainer at the gym told me I had to!
Current scientific studies indicate that all those jogging fanatics and leg-warmer-wearing aerobics junkies of the 80's may have led us ast ...

It's very similar to a successful approach to quitting smoking - begin by deciding that you are a non-smoker.

- Resistance Training
By: WillieG | - Resistance training, by definition, is the process of challenging a skeletal muscle with an unaccustomed stimulus (or load) so that certain muscle tissue adaptations occur. This results in increased muscle force, strength and often, mass. Generally, resistance training should be rhythmical, performed at a slow to moderate speed, involve a full range of motion, and not interfere with breathing.
There are many ways adults can do resistance training. The equipment can vary from o ...

Every single pound a woman gains or every single inch that a woman's waist increases is a cause for concern, and once those thoughts start to impact the individual's life, it is already at the point where it has gotten out of hand.
However, most of the weight loss methods that women believe are effective are both unhealthy and do not work. For example, any ...

- Why Dumbbells Make More Sense
By: Mike Westerdal | - In the world of resistance training, one of the most common debates is whether one should use machines or dumbbells (free-weights) for their strength-training goals. Despite the slick look and new technologies of the latest fitness machines out on the market, dumbbells are one of the very few tools used in strength training that have stood the test of time.
Simply stated, dumbbells are better because they are free weights. This means that you have to work to stabilize the weight, ...

- Weight Lifting Vs. Resistance Training
By: Robby Ryan | - Before modern invention, the ability to build muscle or strength train for sport or fun, was dependant on the clever use of what ever nature made available, as seen on Egyptian tombs, with displays of men exercising with make-shift techniques of swinging rock or sand.
