Do you want to lose weight? Well, then you need to choose a permanent lose weight program to lose weight so you can look good for weddings or reunions, or any other activity that you want to look your best at.

An Effective weight loss program is the foundation for achieving the body you want. But you must remember that losing weight is not something easily achieved overnight. And using some “wonder pill” (like Xenadrine, Hydroxycut, Annorex – despite what some of these may claim) – it still takes months and years of discipline, great dedication …
Losing weight so fast is not safe. Your weight loss program needs to incorporate safe and effective weight loss at a safe metabolic speed.

Your lose weight program needs to make sure you lose weight safely.
And your weight loss program has to be designed for you, and for your body type so you can lose weight safely, and effectively. It is good to give yourself goals and planning for periods of eight weeks is good. Remember this won’t be the end, you will continue for life, but break down your workout into 8 weeks, and celebrate when you make it 8 weeks on your lose weight program. Then take a week long break, and start again. You need to make sure though that your first stage of your weight loss program gets your body mentally and physically prepared. Start off light, work up to bigger goals, this way you won’t get discouraged which is a big part with falling from your weight loss program

How To Lose Weight – Weight Loss Basics

Despite what many people out there think, losing weight isn’t rocket science.It is actually a straight forward process. You simply burn more calories than you eat. But you need to make small changes. The biggest mistake many people make is decreasing their calorie intake by way to much, then they starve themselves, putting their body into starvation mode which makes their body hold onto the fat, and eat the muscle. A VERY BAD THING.

A lose weight program that is fitted to your body type, and designed for you will help you lose the weight you want. One great program is Tom Venuto’s Burn The Fat Feed The Muscle. This book teaches all about designing a weight loss program for your body type. He doesn’t just give you one and say “follow this, you’ll look like me.” No he tells you what you need to do to determine what you need to have in your program.

A well developed weight loss program for each individual has proven to be highly successful and has helped thousands of women, men and teenagers to lose weight. Losing weight can be a life safer, and many people with serious long term weight related health problems have had life changing experiences by following a weight loss program that has helped them shed the pounds

Your own personal trainer is often the best route to go. But this can be a very expensive way to lose weight. If your short on cash, Tom Venuto’s book is a great investment full of extensive knowledge, you won’t get the same one on one professionalism as a personal fitness trainer, but it is probably the next best thing. Fitness & exercise programs with your own online personal trainer, include a personalized workout plan, a workout program, workout routines, and a food plan. A great trainer can be the best way to lose weight, as they also give you motivation to lose weight.

Part of a good lose weight program includes muscle building that will firm up and strengthen lean muscle. Muscle also takes more calories to maintain so you’ll use more calories, thus making it easier to burn fat.

001.24.10 Get Shredded

Gunslinger to Building Muscle — Tags: , , , , , ,  

So you want to get shredded. You want to impress the women, and you want to walk around, shirt off, ready to show the world your six pack of glory.

Well it is possible, and probable, as long as you follow these steps:

Step 1.
Get off your ass, and start running. No matter how much muscle you have, if it’s covered in a layer of fat, nobody is going to see it. Start running. Work up to the 5k run. And don’t tell me that is to much, it actually isn’t and you should be able to do the 5 k run in 30 minutes. Don’t start off at that, but make the 5k run a goal. You can also ride a bike, play sports. To get shredded, you need to get the cardio in.

Step 2. To get shredded, you need to build muscle. You could have no fat on you at all, but you’ll look like a twig if you don’t have muscle on you. Hit the weights. Try to stick with compound exercises that hit more then one muscle. Make sure you incorporate the big exercises. Bench, Squats, Deadlift, Shoulder Press, Barbell Rows. These will get you get you shredded quickly.

Step 3. Eat properly. You need to eat all 3 types of macro nutrients if you are to get shredded. Carbohydrates, Protein, and Fats. Try to eat fifty percent crabs, thirty five percent protein, and fifteen percent fat. Best way is to take you plate, divide half of it into things like veggies, breads, fruits, a little more then a quarter with meat products like chicken, fish, beef. And the last little bit you can leave empty because it is easy to get all the fats you’ll need and they will be in the other food you are eating.

Step 4. Get proper sleep. Most doctors will say you only need 6 hours of sleep, and in reality that is fine if your not working out. But if your working out and getting shredded, building muscle, and burning fat, you need 8 hours of sleep. But if that is hard to get because you are busy, make sure you get the 6 hours of sleep, and try to catch up on the weekend. Sleep is the biggest recovery period for your body. All that muscle you ripped is getting repaired while you sleep, and growing bigger.

Step 5. Allow ample recovery time for your muscles. Don’t work out the same muscle two days in a row. At the minimum, work out a muscle, skip a day, and work it out again. I like to work out a muscle one to two times a week. At the max, make sure a muscle is worked out at least once a week.

Step 6 . If Losing Fat: Make sure your calorie intake is lower then your calorie use. This will make sure the body will pull from the fat in your body and slowly burn it up. Only drop like 200 calories a day. Any more and your body will start eating its muscle which is much easier to digest.

If getting shredded: If you are a skinny guy trying to get shredded, make sure your eating more calories then you burn, this will give your body energy to build muscle. If your a fat guy focusing on muscle, try to eat less, or maintain calorie intake. The reason is, your body has lots of energy to pull from to build muscle- your fat. You can lose the fat and build muscle at the same time for a while, but as your fat slowly starts to burn away, you’ll want to maintain it so your body can maintain it. After a while you’ll need to separate fat burning from muscle building to get a good results and get shredded.

I hope this will help you all get shredded.

001.10.10 Lose Weight Program : The Nutrition

Gunslinger to Healthy Eating — Tags: , , , , , , ,  

We all want a lose weight program. We all want to lose weight fast and easy. Let me guess, you have tried the South Beach Diet, the Atkin’s Diet, the Cabbage Soup Diet. You’ve taken every pill, you have done every mind exercise that claims you can think the fat away.

Well I need to tell you something. It just doesn’t work that way. I mean, they might work for a little bit, but eventually you’ll stop these fad programs, and you’ll bounce right back up to your old weight, if not more. Everything from Low Carbs Lose Weight programs to the Only Eat Meat diet are out there. But these are all fads, they are all out there to make you buy their products.

So, what lose weight program works. Which weight loss diet plans can you follow. Well, for one, get the idea of diet out of your head. The first thing you need to do is get it in your head that losing weight quickly is bad. That hitting your target weight is all you need to do.

You don’t want to lose weight fast and easy because it is bad for you, your body will just eat up your muscle, which actually helps you keep the weight down. You want to lose weight steadily and slowly, gradually. Also you won’t just hit your target weight and quit, because if you do, you’ll just jump back up to your original weight, and probably pass it.

Fitness is a lifestyle, once you realize that, you’ll realize there is no diet you follow, only a lifestyle full of healthy choices and good old fashion exercise. There are plenty of exercises out there, but today we will discuss nutrition.

Food is split up into three macro nutrients. Carbohydrates, Protein, and Fats.

You need to look at food as a pie, I know, bad when you are trying to eat healthy, but look at it as a pie nevertheless. Split that pie up into 6 pieces. Now take half of that pie and call it Carbohydrates, take two more slices and call that Protein, and take the last slice and call it Fat.

This pie now represents the most basic ratio at which you should eat you food. It’s the most balanced. Carbohydrates are really important, they are like the builders. They take the protein and build it into muscle. Low carb, high protein diets just give you a bunch of bricks with no workers to put them together. That is why those diets fail. There times when they can work, but that is for more advanced body builders. I just want to get you started on your way to losing weight.

Every lose weight program needs nutrition in it. It is one of the most important parts of the weight loss circle. Tom Venuto has a great program that delves deep into the nutrition science and why it works.

So take that pie and apply it to your plate, split your plate in half and fill it with carbs, then feel two slices of the plate with meat, then the last spot leave empty, because through your other food you’ll get your fats.

This should cover the nutrition part of losing weight quickly. Remember, calories burned lose weight so make sure you have a calorie deficit everyday. A program I really recommend is Tom Venuto’s Burn The Fat Feed The Muscle

001.10.10 Weight Loss Workouts

Gunslinger to Building Muscle, Cardio, Excercises, Losing Weight — Tags: , , , , , , , ,  

Losing weight quickly involves some hard work. I’m not going to lie to you there. Some decent motivation to lose weight will be needed. And to tell you the absolute truth, you don’t want to lose weight fast. Why? Because losing weight quickly is actually damaging to the body.

What you want is a good weight loss program, a good workout that will allow you to steadily lose weight at a safe level. What is the safe amount of weight to lose in a given period of time. Well researchers have found that if you lose any more then 2 lbs a week, you are losing weight to fast.

So what is involved to burn those pounds away and get the slim body you want? Well you’ll need a good diet plan to lose weight. There are lots of fad diets out there including Jenny Craig, the South Beach Diet, the Atkins Diet, Cabbage Soup diet. These will work for a little bit, but eventually you’ll fall off them and go back to your old ways. A good steady eating plan with all around food groups is the best way to stick with eating healthy and staying motivated.

But this article is about weight loss workouts. I want to discuss the top ten exercises lose weight. There are two parts to a good workout. You need cardio and you need to build muscle. Muscle building is actually a really good way to lose weight. One myth about losing weight is people think they need to turn fat into muscle. That is impossible. You need to burn fat, and build muscle.

Fat is burned by reduction of calories, then the body burns fat to make up for it. If you reduce calories to much then your body will start burning muscle which is an easier source of energy then fat and therefore you will lose muscle weight instead of fat weight.

Also by building muscle, your body will burn more calories because it takes more calories to maintain muscle mass then fat, so your body will burn fat to feed the muscle.

So to reiterate, you want cardio and muscle building. We will look at cardio exercises first.

There are different amounts of effort you will want to put into your cardio depending on how fat you are, and what type of body you have. To learn more on body types and cardio read Tom Venuto’s Burn the Fat Feed the Muscle

I myself like to try and do cardio 45 minutes a day for 3 days a week, then on my muscle building days I do 10 mins of cardio at the end, and 5 at the beginning of the workout session.

What are some different cardio exercises:

Spin Class: Spin Class is on a stationary bicycle. You have a fitness instructor leading you through the class, telling you when to increase the difficulty, and when to go faster, and when to go slower. It is a fun and interactive way to do cardio and I enjoy it.

Running: You can just do a simple 45 minute run where you try and keep the effort level up. This is hard though, because it is easy to fall into a low effort run without thinking about it. You need to consciously force yourself to keep up the effort. Usually if you can say a sentence without difficulty you are running to easy.

Treadmill: If you don’t have an area to run, or a gym with a track, the treadmill is another good alternative. Just do your run for 45 minutes on here. Treadmills are also good for anybody that gets bored with running. Usually a gym will have a T.V set up for you to watch while you run. In my own personal gym I set up a small portable dvd player on a shelf in front of me and watched movies. If you put on a good movie you know inspires fitness, this is a good motivation to lose weight and will help you through your workouts.

Sports: There are a number of high cardiovascular sports out there. Soccer, Basketball, Racquetball, Squash, Tennis, etc. If you get bored easily, joining a recreational sports group, or finding friends to play sports is a great way to get cardio in without the monotonous feeling of running or peddling.

The next part when it comes to exercises to lose weight is muscle building. For general purpose muscle building, and not just strength building, you want to do exercises as such: 4 to 5 sets of reps ranging from 8 to 12. The best muscle building exercises are:

The Bench Press
The Squat
The Shoulder Press
Barbell Rows
Dead Lifts
Dumbell Curls

It is very important that you perform these exercises carefully and with perfect form or you can risk hurting yourself. Also doing these exercises in perfect form increases your chances to build muscle. To learn more about performing these exercises correctly read Shawn Lebrun’s Guide to Getting Huge and Shredded

I hope these 10 exercises will help you with your weight loss workouts. Remember that every body is different and you will need to experiment with the way you do your workouts for optimal success.

And I have a secret for you that will give you an advantage on the gym floor and in the dating field:

I like to call this muscle building secret the:

BIG THREE

To build muscle fast, and to attract some beautiful women, you need to focus on the Big Three.

The Big Three are muscle groups. These groups are the Pecs, Abs, and the Biceps.

And get this: It has been proven that women connect with these three muscle groups as sexy, and attractive.
The reason is, these muscle groups provide a nice semetrical look that women love in a man.

It makes us look masculine and successful. Have you ever heard a woman say she loves wimps and losers.

I didn’t think so.

This secret is good for you. Because as you build muscle in these areas, you will prove far more attractive then the other men out there. Far more successful, and you will feel successful further helping our cause.

Now a strong Warning: Do not throw this information aside. If you want good looking women, you must look good. If you don’t build muscle in these muscle groups you will have poor results in the dating game.

Right now, we are not sure if even my secret can help you.

We all have different bodies with different reactions to different muscle building exercises. But there are those that can help you if your body is different then mine.
