ByMichael Oladele

Building a Body

Building a body or really building your own body to the level or shape of your desire is possible due to rapid growth in technology and peoples experience. Since it became a sport in the 1970's more and more people want to develop their body's and unlock its full potential in achieving not only just a massive body but a work of art!

Goal setting

To be a good body builder you will need to focus on more than just lifting weights. Set serious goals on what you wish to achieve out of your body building. Setting up your goals can be the most important phase of your training as it keeps the mind on track during training, helps with motivation and maintains a positive attitude. So what are your goals for building a body? What kind of body do you want? Once you have written these down or set them in your mind you are ready to start your body building journey.

The Philosophy

You need weight training to work the muscles but also a good diet and the right nutrition. The muscles require a constant source of energy and other essential nutrients such as proteins, fats, vitamins and tissue building enzymes. What we eat is vital to bringing the muscle building ingredients to the right areas therefore it is important that we are mindful of what and how much we eat.

Balanced Training

Rest is equally if not more important for body building after and during workout. When we do weight training, we effectively "rip" or damage our muscles. During rest, our bodies get to work on the damaged muscles by growing the muscle fibres making them bigger. So we need to put the body through a sedentary state when we have our rest periods. A balanced form of body building program is vital for the entire body. Weight training, proper nutrition, rest and good cardiovascular workout work extremely well in combination for producing great results for your health and your body building goals. Remember, your heart is your power source, take care of it. Your heart will greatly help you train longer and more efficiently.

The Mind Set

Maintaining a positive attitude during and after training is KEY. If you keep your sights on the goals you have set for yourself, you'll find that you can push yourself even further. You will be surprised. Training is hard work and very exhausting mentally and physically so it's normal to want to give up and we start lose sight of our initial goals. So stay strong, and keep in mind your goals, this will give you the boost you need to push further in your training.

Know Thy Self

Understand your body's components and how the different muscle groups work not just only what muscles you want to make bigger. It will be very satisfying knowing you have built your body and mind into a strong and healthy state.

Do's And Don'ts For Great Abs

ByStan W Thompson

Believe it or not, the key to great abs is not doing thousands of crunches, or for that matter, any huge number of any ab exercise. The biggest key to exposing your abs is to lose the fat around them. We will look at some do's and don't's for exposing your abs fast.

DON'T target your abs to lose fat--no matter how many crunches, situps, bicycle kicks, etc you do, if you don't get rid of the fat, you are not going to see your abs. You lose fat by burning calories and watching what you eat.

DO work every muscle--muscle is your body's primary fat burner. By making your muscles contract you burn more calories. Also, weight lifting tears your muscles and since your body has to expand energy to repair those muscles, it is burning more calories. A single total body workout can boost your metabolism for up to 2 days. IMPORTANT-make sure you work your legs. Your lower half houses more muscle, thus you will burn even more calories.

DON'T--start your workout with ab exercises. Start with exercises that work your core. True core exercises work the muscles that prevent your muscles from rounding. They also allow you to transfer force from your lower body to your upper body. By training your core when your muscles are fresh, you achieve the fastest gains in strength.

DO-keep your body moving. By reducing or even cutting out the rest period between sets, you keep your heart rate going and the calories burning. You can burn more calories per minute with weight training than running at 5 mph on a treadmill. And you get the benefit of improving your body composition.

DON'T- feed your body junk. Your diet is every bit as important in developing and exposing your abs as the exercises that you do. You have to eat smart or you are wasting your time working out. Research what foods are the right ones for your abs. Remember, the goal is to crank up your metabolism and burn the layer of fat covering your abs.

DO- Remember that your abs are a muscle just like any other muscle in your body. You build them up and sculpt them just like you would your chest, shoulders, biceps, etc. If you want to build up your chest, you wouldn't do 100 reps with a very light weight. You would use a weight that you could do for 8 to 12 reps. The same principle applies to your abs. Do some exercises that require you to use additional weight.

When building your other muscles you would do 3 to 5 sets and do 3 or 4 different exercises. Same for abs. Pick out different exercises that target different areas of your abs, and you will get the well defined midsection that you want.
