Weight Loss, Bodybuilding, and Exercise Tips
Years ago I got into the world of bodybuilding. I had no discipline, determination or confidence. Here are a few exercise tips that have kept me going all these years.
1.Realize workout is altogether than just having a great physique. It is about strengthening the mind and heart and soul.
2. You will have good days and bad days. One day at a time thing
3. No matter if you are a competitive bodybuilder or just one who does it for a hobby, be sold out for life to workouts.
4. This one will be hard for most of you to do. But to be a pyou have to get rid of your ego. Your mind is your largest competitor. In order to improve on your health you need to not be self serving.
5. If you think you know everything, forget, stop right at this point. You never will. Continue to learn all the time. Most importantly, give out your knowledge.

What ever your goals may be remember. You are in this for life, even when the body is not were you want it to be.
Shock Affect
People quit exercise programs for two reasons: boredom and lack of results. Lets look at one way of curbing both reasons for not following through on an exercise program and how to keep your body fat levels low.
Ever drive the same way to work each morning? Ever order basically the same foods every time you eat out? Ever sit in the same area at the movie theatre? Humans are creatures of habit. Our workout programs are treated no differently. One simple solution to low body fat levels is incorporating variety into your daily exercise.
You see I believe your body after about two months on the same program gets so use to the order of exercises, the level of effort of the treadmill and the type of equipment you use that it adapts. Similar to what your body dies when taking antibiotics.
So what do you do? It does not have to be some huge change in your workout program. Here are ten suggestions:
1. Change the order of your weight workout workouts, keeping the larger muscle groups first.
2. Never do the same cardio piece of equipment two days in a row.
3. Alternate your intensity levels of your exercise each time.
4. Alternate your rep ranges each time.
5. Do weights before cardiovascular training every so often.
6. Workout at different times of the day.
7. Listen to different music once on a while.
8. Change the accessories of the equipment once in a while Handles
9. Change exercise places on occasion.
10. Change your program up every ten weeks.
No matter what it is your body gets use to the routine. Change it up and change your body fats.
A Matter of Flow!
Where Diets Go WrongWhen we discover that we are heavier than we want to be, we have a natural invlination to eat less food. We may skip lunch or eat ..... I have won numerous bodybuilding championships and have consistently exercised every week for over twenty years. The smartest decision I have ever made that has made the biggest influence on my success in the gym is; I put a time frame each day on my workouts.
At the time I did not know the impact having a sense of urgency on my workouts would have on my body fat levels. But knowing I had to full all my workouts in a certain period of time kept me moving. The goal is to get your momentum going. Here are some suggestions on how to keep the flow in your workouts and maintain a healthy body fat level;
1. Set a reasonable time frame to your workout session. I have a one hour and fifteen minute limit. (from start to finish)
2. Do your cardiovascular workout first.
3. Pre-plan your exercise in your head prior to the exercise. This cuts ten minutes out of your workout.
4. Make a contingency plan before you exercise. Sometimes a crowed gym will slow you down and people are using a piece of equipment you had planed to use.
5. Do exercises that require altogether strength at the beginning of your exercise.
6. Pre-schedule water breaks.
7. Cut the talking down to a minimum.
8. Have time limits between sets.
9. Definately no cell phones are allowed in the gym.
10. Bring your water bottle to the gym so you do not have to go to the water fountain and waste time.
Keeping your momentum going during your workout allows your heart rate to stay at a higher level. Over a period of time this pays off in burning altogether fat calories. Remember keeping your body fat levels low has a lot to do with your flow of the exercise more than anything. Go with the flow!
Single out some one in the gym who is lean and healthy and theres a acceptable chance they have acceptable circulation throughout their body. People who have acceptable circulation tend to have good stretchablity.
Low Body Fat Technique #5: Stretch your limits!
By far the most neglected part of any exercise program is stretching. Why? It hurts. There is no instant gratification. It takes time are all the excuses. However, the draw backs of not stretching reach far worse. I believe stretching promotes better circulation, and it can equal lower body fat levels.
When I say better circulation, I also mean a better digestive system. This will have an effect on your ability to burn fat. Your body is a filtration system that acts like a screen. If the screen is plugged, the nutrients and fluids cannot circulate through it.
The bottom line is the better your circulation the altogether efficient your body will burn fat.
