The Untold Secrets and Advices on Bodybuilding, Diets and Fitness by Peter Olwen - HTML preview

Putting It All Together

The origins of fitness and bodybuilding were originally to refine martial and athletic skills for the warrior class. Today, these skills are no longer applicable to modern life, so bodybuilding and fitness have become the goal for both sexes, not just the means for men to achieve martial dominance.

Sure, that ripped look when the shirt comes off is great, or how well a woman looks in a two-piece bathing suit or bikini. But that is only a small part of the reasons for male and female fitness. Personal performance is great, too, both athletic and the night life recreational variety. The health thing is also important; the absence of sickness, minimal aches and pains, bouncing out of the bed in the morning (well, rising easily, anyway) and never using sick-time at work. Then there’s the respect, admiration even, from friends of both sexes; the look of surprise when your buddy grabs your upper arm while making a point and pauses with a look of amazement when he feels the bulging hardness under his To download my second ebook “The Real Truth About Abs” for free, please visit http://howmusclebuildingworks.com/go/truth-about-abs-bonus/

hand. Or when a woman’s friends comment enviously about how good she looks in shorts. Male and female fitness are all of these things and more.

Fitness affects attitudes. The fit person exudes the confidence that comes from feeling good about himself, a confidence that extends into everything they do. It is an attitude that is read by everyone they come into contact with and is often the difference between super-success or a marginal response in their personal and business relationships. It is a sad commentary on our society that a fit, healthy male or female body is the exception instead of the rule.

Fitness magazines extol the virtues of exercise programs and every one of them outlines programs to build bigger muscles on the men and trim, well-rounded figures on the women. The magazines are good and their articles are usually well written, but a beginner needs a lot of incentive and attention to their individual needs. A good fitness club with a competent staff is probably the best answer for a neophyte. Once a program has been set up and some results are being seen, the person on the path to fitness can adjust their program to suit their schedule and goals.

A typical fitness program will consist of strength and circuit training, cardiovascular exercises and other athletic endeavors; running, sports walking, tennis and other sports. This activity doesn’t have to be extreme, but it should be enjoyable. A committed workout partner is also an aid. A fit person is a testimonial to the “sound mind in a sound body” principle.

Wellness and fitness are two sides of the same coin. If one is fit, one is well, generally speaking. For our prehistoric precursors, if they weren’t fit they were quickly processed by the digestive juices of some saber-toothed cat, cave lion or short-faced bear.

In modern life, wellness/fitness takes on a whole different meaning. Fit people work at staying in good physical condition; they eat nutritionally and live a healthy lifestyle. Their wellness/fitness means fewer illnesses, better mental attitudes, more satisfaction with their work, family and their spiritual lives.

may not be the only reason for everything good in their lives, but it is a large part of the formula.

Wellness/Fitness is achieved by several means:

 Exercise – whether it be by pumping iron at the local health club, swimming at the Y, running or walking in the park, martial arts or aerobics classes, exercise is good for the entire body and mind.

 Diet – eating moderately of healthy, natural foods and drinks is very important to overall wellness fitness. “You are what you eat.” Was coined by a nutritionist of yore, so if you eat calorie-laden junk food or fast food, your body will respond in kind. Eating good proteins and carbohydrates, avoiding processed foods, sugars and refined starches will go a long way towards promoting wellness. Natural foods contain the vitamins and minerals that processing often removes. Sprouted grain breads are healthier than those baked using highly processed, bleached and nutrient free flours. Caffeine and alcohol intake should be minimized.

 Lifestyle – our lives are filled with the stress of careers, families, world affairs and catastrophic events. It is important to have healthy outlets for stress. Exercise and diet are part of the answer, but hobbies, athletic activity, spirituality, family and community involvement are other elements of the equation of wellness fitness.

For some, an orderly uncluttered life is good, while for others, spontaneity is the name of the game.

Wealth and health are similar in that when you have them life is good. If you lose your wealth, you may at some point regain it by the application of smarts and hard work. Health, on the other hand, when lost may never be regained.

The desire for fitness often leads to a further commitment to oneself.

Bodybuilding is the next step that many workout enthusiasts progress to.

developing your body to its ultimate limits. For men it is the muscular development of shoulders, chest, arm, back and legs, as well as six-pack abdominal muscles. For the women it is to trim all excess weight, define their chest, back, legs and arms and also have a six-pack.

This e-book has outlined some of the approaches, both for us average people who want to be fit and for those with the desire to build their bodies to its potential. It is recommended that you research and consider all these approaches and then select the one that is most appropriate to your lifestyle and available time for the program.

A Unique Approach To Weight Loss

Jon Gabriel is a unique man. As a financial guy in New York City, Jon worked long hours under a lot of stress. His weight has ballooned to more than 400

pounds and he was morbidly obese.

His financial success allowed him to pay for one-on-one diet consultations from a number of big name diet doctors, including Dr. Robert Atkins, who authored the Atkins Diet program and several books. It was to no avail. The small weight losses were quickly regained, often with a few extra pounds.

One day Jon had a revelation, his body wanted to be fat. He used his background in medical research to do a study on why people are fat and why some of us never have weight problems. Jon’s conclusion was that most of peoples’ weight problems are because of outside mental influences. When you remove these problems, their body weight tends to seek normalcy.

Jon was successful in reprogramming his body to believing it needs to be thin.

Over the next few years he lost more than 200 pounds and has maintained a fit, muscular body and has changed his life around, totally. Jon now lives in Australia and speaks to individuals and groups about “The Gabriel Method.” He has thousands of success stories to recount, some of which are in his book of the same title. The before-and-after pictures on his webpage are amazing.

The connection between fitness and aging

As the human body ages it begins to slow the production of the hormones that keep us fit, strong and healthy. Strength training and cardiovascular training will slow that process, but ultimately showing our age is a fact of life.

A group of doctors in the practice of combating aging have a unique approach.

They use supervised applications of anabolic steroids and human growth hormones, those that the aging body is no longer producing, to effectively halt and even reverse the appearance of aging in men and women. Their program at

Cenegenics Medical Institute, practices age management medicine, apparently very effectively. Their website has a number of impressive pictures of their success stories.

The Truth About Six Pack Abs: The Low-Down From Creator Mike Geary

http://howmusclebuildingworks.com/go/truthabs/

Did you know that the vast majority of people in this day and age have excess abdominal fat? The first thing that most people think of is that their extra abdominal fat is simply ugly, is covering up their abs from being visible, and makes them self conscious about showing off their body.

However, what most people don't realize is that excess abdominal fat in particular, is not only ugly, but is also a dangerous risk factor to your health.

Scientific research has clearly demonstrated that although it is unhealthy in general to have excess body fat throughout your body, it is also particularly dangerous to have excess abdominal fat.

There are two types of fat that you have in your abdominal area. The first type that covers up your abs from being visible is called subcutaneous fat and lies directly beneath the skin and on top of the abdominal muscles.

The second type of fat that you have in your abdominal area is called visceral fat, and that lies deeper in the abdomen beneath your muscle and surrounding your organs. Visceral fat also plays a role in giving certain men that "beer belly"

appearance where their abdomen protrudes excessively but at the same time, also feels sort of hard if you push on it.

Both subcutaneous fat and visceral fat in the abdominal area are serious health risk factors, but science has shown that having excessive visceral fat is even more dangerous than subcutaneous fat. Both of them greatly increase the risk your risk of developing heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, stroke, sleep apnea, various forms of cancer, and other degenerative diseases.

Part of the reason visceral fat is particularly dangerous is that it apparently releases more inflammatory molecules into your body on a consistent basis.

If you care about the quality of your life and your loved ones, reducing your abdominal fat should be one of your TOP priorities! There's just no way around it.

Besides, a side-effect of finally getting rid of all of that excessive ugly abdominal fat is that your stomach will flatten out, and if you lose enough stomach fat, you will be able to visibly see those sexy six pack abs that everyone wants.

So what gets rid of extra abdominal fat? Is there actually a REAL solution beyond all of the gimmicks and hype that you see in ads and on commercials for

"miracle" fat loss products?

The first thing you must understand is that there is absolutely NO quick fix solution. There are no pills or supplements of any sort that will help you lose your abdominal fat faster. Also, none of the gimmicky ab rockers, rollers, or ab belts will help get rid of abdominal fat either. You can't spot reduce your stomach fat by using any of these worthless contraptions. It simply doesn't work that way.

The ONLY solution to consistently lose your abdominal fat and keep it off for good is to combine a sound nutritious diet full of unprocessed natural foods with a properly designed strategic exercise program that stimulates the necessary hormonal and metabolic response within your body. Both your food intake as well as your training program are important if you are to get this right.

I've actually even seen a particular study that divided thousands of participants into a diet-only group and an exercise/diet group. While both groups in this study made good progress, the diet-only group lost significantly LESS abdominal fat than the diet & exercise combined group.

Now the important thing to realize is that just any old exercise program will not necessarily do the trick. The majority of people that attempt getting into a good exercise routine are NOT working out effectively enough to really stimulate the loss of stubborn abdominal fat. I see this everyday at the gym.

Most people will do your typical boring ineffective cardio routines, throw in a little outdated body-part style weight training, and pump away with some crunches and side bends, and think that they are doing something useful for reducing their abdominal fat. Then they become frustrated after weeks or months of no results and wonder where they went wrong.

Well, the good news is that I've spent over a decade researching this topic, analyzing the science, and applying it "in the trenches" with myself as well as thousands of my clients from all over the world to see what works to really stimulate abdominal fat loss.

The entire solution... all of the nutritional strategies, as well as training sequences, exercise combinations, and more have all been compiled in my Truth About Six Pack Abs Program.

Keep in mind that the point of this whole program is NOT abdominal exercises (that is only a very small portion of it). The main point of this program is showing you the absolute most effective strategies for losing your stubborn abdominal fat, so you can get rid of that dangerous health risk, as well as get a flatter more defined midsection.

If you follow the guidelines, you WILL lose your belly fat that has been plaguing you for years. This is not guesswork... it is a proven system that works time and time again for all of my clients on every corner of the globe that actually apply the information I teach. If you apply it, the results will come. It's really that simple.

The only reason most people fail in their fitness goals is that they have good intentions at first to adopt a new lifestyle, yet after a few weeks or months, they abandon their good intentions and slip right back into their old bad habits that gave them the excess body fat in the first place.

I want to help you succeed in finally getting rid of that extra abdominal fat that is not only UGLY, but also DANGEROUS.

Don't waste another day allowing that nasty abdominal fat to kill your confidence as well as contribute to your risk for MAJOR diseases.
