Two Chakra Exercises For Beginners

There are many ways to stimulate and strengthen the chakras, they include the use of crystals, yoga, and meditation. In this article, i will address some basic methods that are great for people who are new to the Chakras.

Two Chakra Exercises For Beginners

One great exercise for balancing all seven of the chakras is to chant the bija mantras. Bija mantras are known as "seed" syllables. Each sound is related to a different chakra. Chanting all seven, will harmonize and bring balance to the entire chakra system.

Also, it is a great way to practice deep breathing. The bija mantras all rhyme with "Mom" except for "OM" (rhymes like home), and "All" (rhymes with call).

The Quick and Easy Way to Tone Up Your Abs - Part 1

Congratulations!

You are about to learn about a region of the body that almost everybody wants but somehow the secrets escape them. The weight loss industry may be a billion dollar a year market but a close second is all the late night infomercials about abs, 6 packs, 6 second abs and how to get ready for the beach and show off that region.

When it comes to abdominal training there are two basic areas of confusion. First, the myth exists that a 'specific' region exists like the 'lower abdominals.' Many people will claim their upper ab region is developing just fine but the lower abs are not responding to training. They are looking for a magic lower ab exercise that will target that region. If you do a search for any muscular images of the abdominals, it's clear that the rectus abdominus (a long winded name for the abs) is just a single muscle running from the sternum to the pelvis. These 'lower abdominals' simply don't exist.

The reason the lower region seems to be less responsive to training is that it is a natural fat storage area! Simply put, your entire ab region is probably responding to overall training but the lower region is simply not showing because it is covered up by a layer of fat. That area just happens to be the place that fat is the last to go. Very simply, the lower abdominal area is benefiting from your crunches and reverse crunches. The problem is, you just can't see it!

TEST: If you don't believe this then try this simple test: lie down on the floor in a typical crunch position. Place one hand on your lower abdominal area and the other on your upper abdominal area. Now perform a slowing crunching movement. You will feel both areas contract simultaneously as you curl up.

The second area of confusion revolves around exercise selection. Almost everybody still continues to perform hanging leg raises, knee-ups or similar exercises in an attempt to target the 'lower abs.' While these exercises do affect the abdominal area, they are not the best selection.

It's easy to clear up this exercise selection confusion if you understand the differences between the hip-flexion and trunk-flexion. A muscle called the psoas and related muscles (this is located deep against the spine) are responsible for hip-flexion while your abdominals are responsible for trunk-flexion.

Hip Flexion: Occurs when your lift your knee (or knees) towards your chest. For example, when you do a hanging knee-up, you will feel a burning sensation in the lower abdominal region (this alone convinces most people it's working that area). What is actually happening is the psoas is being stressed. You'll never be lean enough to see this muscle! Of course the abdominals are involved in this exercise for stabilization but it's not the primary muscle and so it's not the most effective. Other concerns revolve around the psoas being overworked that can lead to back problems.

Trunk Flexion: Occurs when you perform an exercise where the pelvis and sternum approach each other during the movement. At this point, you are in a state of maximal trunk flexion. Going any further and you'll engage the psoas muscle and you will be using hip-flexion (like in a full sit-up). When you train your abdominals you need to flex (or contact) your trunk.

FACT: For effective abdominal training, stick with trunk flexion movements (crunches and reverse crunches).

This series will focus on trunk flexion exercises so that tension is directly on the abdominals as that is the primary muscle we want to work. [Other muscles involved in stabilization will be involved but will not be the primary focus.]

That's all! The abdominals are just a muscle like everything else. There's nothing special about them that makes them any harder to obtain or develop then any other muscle group. Still, there are thousands of messages on community forums and fitness gurus everywhere get hundreds of messages a day regarding this. Not to mention the countless ab technology products that appear in stores every year promising a faster, easier way to get ripped abs. The purpose of this report is to tell you exactly step-by- step what you need to do to get ripped abdominals.

The Myths of Ripped Abdominals: - Countless crunches - Working them out every day - Strange machines or dangerous exercises - Fad diets - Fat burner pills - Marathon cardio sessions - Targeting lower and upper regions

The Secret of Ripped Abdominals: - Low percentage of body fat - Having the muscle to show

Did I just blow the end of the story for you? Hopefully not.

Key Concept #1: You Must Have a Low Percentage of Body Fat For starters, if you have a layer of body fat covering the region, you will never be able to show the abs. For men, this is the LAST place the fat will disappear from which makes it the hardest body part to show.

You "get abs" from reducing your body fat and you reduce body fat mostly through diet and cardio..

And yet, somehow this concept escapes people. In order for the abs to show proudly, you must have a low percentage of body fat! There's really not a whole lot more to it.

Men: 10% or lower Women: 15% or lower

Why is that so difficult for most people?

Simple. In order to get your body fat that low you must be absolutely focused on your diet and fat burning metabolism. 99% of people (including myself) are not as perfect on the diet as to burn off our natural body fat stores. So in order to get rid of that last layer, you must burn off the last remaining body fat stores. And to do that you must have great nutrition habits (above and beyond just being active).

Key Concept #2: You Must Have Abs to Show

First off...

If you are 110 lbs and just skin and bones and 3% body fat but no muscle really, then it's not a surprise why your abs aren't popping out every time you take off your shirt. There are a few people I've run across that are well below the 10% body fat limit and yet they are puzzled when their abdominals don't show. That's almost as easy as 1+1. You MUST have abs to show!

You can have a low body fat percentage but if you don't have anything to show, you'll just see a flat stomach (which is good) but no definition and certain no 'packs.' There are also individuals who have 15% body fat but their abs are so developed they can show off a 4-pack. While they don't have that low of a body fat percentage to classify as 'ripped' they do have great development and certainly the muscle is there. Just think what it might look like on them if they were to be 10% or lower?!

That's where ab exercises come into play. Performing key abdominal exercises is a key to developing the trunk region to the fullest. Many people are looking for the illusive lower ab exercise or performing exercises they believe to target a certain region but are really working the wrong muscle. Having abs is as simple as doing the right core exercises. That will be part of the 6 months of ab training at the end of this series.

Now that you understand some key concepts in order to get the abs to show, let's figure out how to eliminate that annoying layer of fat around them...

Stay tuned for Part 2 that will discuss why nutrition is 90% or More of Your Success.

Beginner Treadmill Workouts For Weight Loss

Treadmills have come a long way over the years. From a flat roller that was manually powered to the latest offerings which are motorized and include an incline belt surface, LED display panels showing you a heap of information about your workout, heart rate monitors, and some are even programmable so you can change intensity levels to simulate hill training.

There are a number of significant benefits to owning and training on a treadmill. First of all, you can workout no matter what the weather is doing outside. They are normally very quite, so there is very little disturbance to anyone else. The treadmills are usually relatively portable, so they can be easily stored, or hidden away. Many of the better treadmills have a grip heart rate monitor that can show you your current heart rate, and an LED display so you can see how long you have been exercising, distance covered and calories burned.

Treadmill for Weight Loss.

For people looking for a great exercise to lose weight, the treadmill is one of the best. It allows you to raise your heart rate into the fat burning zone in a controlled environment, which makes it easy to monitor your heart rate and vary your intensity accordingly.

Here are a couple of treadmill workouts to spice it up a little. Set the incline of the treadmill at 1% just to simulate wind resistance.

Beginner Treadmill workout 1

For the first routine, do a 10 minute warm up. Make sure your heart rate does not exceed 60% of your maximum heart rate threshold during this period. After your warm up, increase intensity for 1 minute to 70-80%, then recover for two minutes. Repeat this set 10 times, for a total of 30 minutes. Do a warm down for 10 minutes.

Use this routine to increase your fitness level. As you get fitter, increase your intensity.

Treadmill workout for weight loss

For the second treadmill workout, warm up for 10 minutes. Sprint for 8 seconds, then recover for 12 seconds. Repeat for as long as you can, or a maximum of 10 minutes. Build up to 20 minutes of intervals. This type of interval training is great for losing weight, but is hard on the body, so definitely don't do interval training two days in a row.

The University of NSW conducted a test on 2 groups of 20 overweight women and found that the above interval workout burns fat 3 times faster than exercise done at a constant rate, and the above routine was done for 20 minutes compared to the other group training for 40 minutes. That's one effective workout! The test was done on a stationary bike, but the treadmill can be just as effective if used at the same intensity.

Whether you are male or female you want those great six pack abs. What are some good exercises you can do at home for those abdominals?

Getting Great Abs - Abdominal Exercises - Ab Chair

Well of course we are all aware of the sit up. What is the best and most comfortable way to do a sit up with out hurting or straining your neck? After doing some research on the internet I found some common mistakes people make when doing sit ups that can cause pain. Also if you do sit ups wrong you will not be getting the benefit you think you are getting.

A common mistake is putting your hands behind your neck and pulling on your neck when you move forward. This causes pain with your neck and is not good for your lower back putting stress on it.

Also when you go to sit up you want to move slowly and not go to fast. If you move to fast you will not be holding the contraction, which would help to tighten those abdominal muscles.

You want to make sure you do not come up to far. Doing so you are getting away from concentrating on the ab muscles.

So how do we correct these problems? Okay let's start with the hand behind the neck. Let's put them behind the ears. Remember they are only there to help with your balance, not to push on your neck. Keep your elbows out wide and sit up nice and slow for a better contraction and then go down slow. This will help maximize the contraction.

You will want to be like an accordion. Concentrating on moving your sternum towards your belly button and then slowly back down. Start out by doing a set of 20 and then work your way up to 3 sets of 20. Once you are comfortable with this work your way up to 3 sets of 50. Consistency is the key. Keep up this workout on a regular basis and you will see the results in the way you abs look and how you clothes fit.

Here is another exercise for the abs. This one is for the lower abs. Start off lying on your back. Move you legs so they are pointing straight up toward the ceiling. Keep your legs straight without locking your knees. Keep your hands palm side down by the sides of your buns and thighs. Keep your head on the floor so you are looking up at the ceiling or sky if outdoors. Your body would look like the letter "L". Now this position is the start of the exercise.

With your feet together and your legs straight, use your lower abs to lift your hips off the floor and slowly roll toward your chest. When your toes are over your head, stop and contract your abs for two seconds. Slowly release and go back to the starting position. Do 30 reps work up to 3 reps of 30.

There are also many ab machines and trainers you can buy. You can sit on an ab chair or ab lounger, or do your floor exercise and watch television while you do your reps.

Doing these two abdominal exercises on a regular basis should help flatten and tighten your abs. As always check with a physician before starting any exercise program.

Female Bodybuilding Strategies For Beginners

If you're new to bodybuilding, I'm going to share with you some of the strategies I've used to get me ready for a competition. I would like to first say that it really isn't that hard to achieve success in this sport. The problem is that most people don't have the dedication and will power to apply the necessary task to have success. If you have the ability to dedicate yourself to a simple and mundane process, please continue reading.

Your diet is the most important thing you'll ever do in bodybuilding. Most people think it's the gym, but it's not. I didn't start to see great success until I put more time and effort into planning my diet, than I did at the gym. You need to get on the smaller meals more often diet. This is essential to speed up your metabolism. There is also the added benefit of maximizing muscle growth. The way you build muscle isn't an instantaneous process. It happens over a period of time, so you need to have a constant flow of nutrients coming in to do the necessary repairs.

Sleep

I think sleep is the second most important thing. Most people would say that it would be workout, but I disagree. I've had pretty bad workouts, but did good because my diet and sleep were in order. You have to recognize the fact that your body does the main portion of body repair during your sleep time. Your body expects you to sleep for 8-9hrs a night, so if you're not doing that than you're missing out on a lot of potential muscle growth.

How To Get Rid Of Flabby Arms

For starters...

The muscle that is most problematic for flabby arms is called: The Tricep

Most women think of these things when it comes to that area:

* flabby arms * exercise for flabby arms * tone flabby arms * how to get rid of flabby arms * flabby arm help * flabby upper arms * etc

There are really two key concepts to that particular predicament. Keep in mind that this is such a common question so you are certainly not alone in this. But just keep reading because the answer is pretty simple and may surprise you!

First, get the idea out of your head that there's any such thing as 'spot reduction.' Meaning, if you do certain exercises for that area, the fat will magically disappear just from there and your arms will suddenly be taunt and tone again. Let me give you a real quick lesson on fat. Don't worry this is going to be easy.

Your body stores fat. It stores it in general areas that are common to you as a female. Most men store the most fat in their stomachs. Women tend to store it in their thighs, hips and buttocks. But with anything, you can and will store fat wherever. So the first thing you want to do is...

Reduce the body fat period!

Once you start to reduce fat, you'll see it disappear. Don't bother with creams and rubs and all the other gimmicks out there. You cannot spot reduce. Your body stores fat and the only way to reduce fat in any particular area that is bothering you is to reduce fat period from your body as a whole.

For all these reasons,...

Your first mission, should you choose to accept it, is to reduce the body fat.

Second, in order for that area of your arm to become tone, you'll want to build muscle in the back of the arm. That is called the Tricep and there's several good exercise you can do to build up that area.

But first, let me give you a list of some of the best exercises for flabby arms that will focus on the tricep and help you develop the area and make it stronger. This isn't all inclusive but it's some of the more common and better exercises you can do for the back of the arms.

* Weighted dips * Close grip bench press * Close grip push ups * Lying barbell French press * Overhead cable extensions * Cable press downs * Reverse cable press downs

Frankly...

Many people are caught up in the idea that in order for them to get rid of a problematic area they need to just work it out and do some exercises to target that area.

But that's only half of the solution as you've read.

By working out the area AND reducing body fat, you will progress at twice the speed and make twice the visual differences.

Let's suppose you only worked out the back of the arms. The muscle would be stronger and firmer no doubts, but it might not show IF your level of body fat is such that the muscle is still covered up.

As you see, by doing both, you will tone up (build) the tricep and make it more visible when the layer of fat that covers it up is reduced.

Men and women who want to reduce the 'flabby' anything simply have to realize that it's a combination of body fat in that area, maybe loose skin and a muscle that generally needs to be developed in order to be taunt.

But I'm getting way ahead of myself!

This is a two fold mission.

1- Reduce body fat

2- Do specific exercises to build muscle in the back of the arm so that once the fat is gone, you'll have a tricep and it will appear tight and tone

In a nutshell what this will do for you is make the back of your arms less flabby as the fat is lost from your body and the new muscle will bring added tone and tightness to the back of your arm.

Boxing Or Kickboxing - Which Is the Best Workout for Beginners?

Why is Boxing easier to learn than Kickboxing?

Boxing is easier to learn because you stay on two feet. With Kickboxing you have to lift one leg into the air. This is not a problem if you're flexible, have good balance, plenty of space and good instructions on how to throw a kick - which is a more difficult, athletic move.

Which will get me fitter - Boxing or Kickboxing?

At a high level a Kickboxing workout burns more calories and works your legs more - so it may be a harder workout. However, the problem is getting to that high level. Many beginners, especially unfit ones, are going to struggle with learning the main kick - the roundhouse.

Which is more practical in a limited space at home?

The clear winner is Boxing. It takes up less space. With Kickboxing you need a wide berth. Also, because Kickboxing is harder to learn, safety becomes an issue in a small space. Sharp cornered coffee tables do not go well with a Kickboxing workout. With a partner Boxing workout you can work out in a much smaller space.

What about Equipment for Boxing and Kickboxing workouts?

There are many different types of equipment - some you can use with kicks and punches, some just with punches.

Punch mitts - are the most common for Boxing workouts. Punch mitts are two football sized targets your partner slips on to their hands - you've probably seen trainers using them with their boxers. Also called focus pads or focus mitts, these are good for punching, but are not so good for kicks.

Punching bag - which you hang up in your garage. These can work for both punches and kicks but are harder to use for kicks. They swing around more - and in my experience, are a difficult choice for complete beginners.

Kick shields - are large, soft shields usually about the size of a torso. Good for kicking or punching, but you need to train with someone who knows how to hold them.

Thai kick pads - A larger version of punch mitts. Each pad is about the length of your forearm. Good for kicking, punching, elbows and knees - but again you need a partner who knows how to hold them.

Conclusion: Start with Boxing, then move to Kickboxing

Boxing is simpler to learn, takes less space and is easier for your partner to do the mitt work. You will get fitness results quicker as you can learn the moves in less time. Boxing is still technical, but is more forgiving if partners are less experienced. Kicks, when you first learn them, can get wild and dangerous for both kicker and the pad holder. If you've got the time, technique and fitness to master kicks go right ahead. But if not, stick with Boxing.

Once you start to reduce fat, you'll see it disappear. Don't bother with creams and rubs and all the other gimmicks out there. You cannot spot reduce. Your body stores fat and the only way to reduce fat in any particular area that is bothering you is to reduce fat period from your body as a whole.

For all these reasons,...

Your first mission, should you choose to accept it, is to reduce the body fat.

Second, in order for that area of your arm to become tone, you'll want to build muscle in the back of the arm. That is called the Tricep and there's several good exercise you can do to build up that area.

But first, let me give you a list of some of the best exercises for flabby arms that will focus on the tricep and help you develop the area and make it stronger. This isn't all inclusive but it's some of the more common and better exercises you can do for the back of the arms.

* Weighted dips * Close grip bench press * Close grip push ups * Lying barbell French press * Overhead cable extensions * Cable press downs * Reverse cable press downs

Frankly...

Many people are caught up in the idea that in order for them to get rid of a problematic area they need to just work it out and do some exercises to target that area.

But that's only half of the solution as you've read.

By working out the area AND reducing body fat, you will progress at twice the speed and make twice the visual differences.

Let's suppose you only worked out the back of the arms. The muscle would be stronger and firmer no doubts, but it might not show IF your level of body fat is such that the muscle is still covered up.

As you see, by doing both, you will tone up (build) the tricep and make it more visible when the layer of fat that covers it up is reduced.

Men and women who want to reduce the 'flabby' anything simply have to realize that it's a combination of body fat in that area, maybe loose skin and a muscle that generally needs to be developed in order to be taunt.

But I'm getting way ahead of myself!

This is a two fold mission.

1- Reduce body fat

2- Do specific exercises to build muscle in the back of the arm so that once the fat is gone, you'll have a tricep and it will appear tight and tone

In a nutshell what this will do for you is make the back of your arms less flabby as the fat is lost from your body and the new muscle will bring added tone and tightness to the back of your arm.

The Scary Truth About Soy Protein and Bodybuilding

Inevitably there's a myth that soy protein is horrible for bodybuilding and that if you are any where near serious about working out or building muscle you will stay away from it. In fact, some sites show 'studies' that soy protein and soy products can be detrimental to your health. And while it's true that early claims of soy wonders might not be entirely true, there's also myth that soy protein is bad.

The Scary Truth About Soy Protein and Bodybuilding

First off, there's a concept called the Biological Value Scale that was developed to measure the quality of specific proteins. It basically rates how efficiently your body will use a given protein source. The higher the BV (biological value), the more amino acids and nitrogen your body is retaining from the foods you eat. In sum, it becomes a way to measure the potential for quality muscle growth and strength.

There was a time when egg whites were at the top of the BV with a score of around 100. Since then, whey proteins have toped out the scales around 106-159 BV. This means that whey protein is better used for quality muscle growth.

The Scary Truth About Soy Protein and Bodybuilding

But first a warning!

This doesn't mean that all you would utilize is whey protein for all your needs. Many times bodybuilders will use a variety of proteins depending on the BV and the times of day and if they just finished a workout.

Let me explain... Your protein needs in the morning are different then the middle of the day and are different again AFTER a workout and again different before bed.

All this means is that no one protein is the best for any given time. But before I get lost... let me show you the biological value scale in a simple form.

Type of Protein :: Biological Value Rating

Whey: 106-159 Egg: 100 Cow's Milk: 91 Fish: 83 Casein: 80 Beef: 80 Chicken: 79 Soy: 74 Wheat Gluten: 54 Kidney Beans: 49

For all these reasons, you can and should see that soy protein is listed lower. That just means it's not the most anabolic of proteins for optimal muscle growth.

But don't get me wrong...

This doesn't mean you shouldn't eat soy protein if you enjoy it. It simply means that barring any religious beliefs or personal preferences, soy would not be the ideal protein source for enhanced muscle gains. This doesn't mean you cannot have it or that it's bad for you.

In fact, let's continue on with a little example.

John Q. Public 13% body fat 184 lbs 160 lbs of LBM (lean body mass)

For simplification we'll just say that for every LB of LBM (pound of lean body mass) John wants to get 1 g of protein.

John should be consuming 160 g of protein a day.

Here's where the myth and some problems come into play! Read carefully.

If you get a vast amount of your protein from less BV sources then optimal (beans, soy) you will not prime your muscles for optimal anabolic growth. John shouldn't be getting 150+ grams of soy protein a day IF he wants to create the most muscle mass and he has no personal reasons not to use better quality sources.

John also won't be in jeopardy of losing muscle or wasting his efforts if he ingests small quantities of soy proteins because he likes them. Having soy in his cereal is not going to make a difference.

The myth that soy will cause men to produce estrogen is when VAST quantities are ingested. Far beyond what any rational person would want to do on a prolonged basis.

A bodybuilder that has soy will not feel any differences, be any less anabolic then another person who does not consume soy at all.

Fact: A long-term metabolic balance study in young men to assess the nutritional quality of an isolated soy protein and beef proteins (VR Young, A Wayler, C Garza, FH Steinke, E Murray, WM Rand, and NS Scrimshaw) was published in 1984 by the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. Am. J. Clinical Nutrition, Jan 1984; 39: 8 - 15.

After 84 days of two groups, one totally isolated soy protein and the other on beef proteins, found a conclusion that:

"Body cell mass measurements did not reveal any deterioration in protein nutritional status. These observations confirm the prediction, derived from previous short-term nitrogen balance studies, that the nutritional quality of isolated soy protein is high and that this plant protein can serve as the sole source of essential amino acids and nitrogen for protein maintenance in adults."

So let me summarize and review...

Soy is not the most biological available source for optimal anabolic muscle growth. If you were to finish a workout, you would want to ingest some high quality whey protein vs. soy proteins. However, simply having soy doesn't mean it's bad for bodybuilding unless you are getting a majority of your protein from soy products. Then it's not optimal. You'd also need to ingest quite a bit on a daily basis for any negative effects of soy to manifest (specifically aimed at males in this sentence).

3 Exercises to Grow Tall - Exercises For the Beginner

You say you're a busy person? You have school, a job, or some extra curricular activities that keep you busy. Or maybe you don't want your friends to know about your "quest to get taller"? The beauty of these exercises to grow tall is that you can do them anywhere, and no special equipment is needed. You can do them right when you roll right out of bed in the morning, or maybe when you are taking a study break, and need to wake up and get the blood flowing.

These must be hard exercises right? Well, you definitely don't need to be an Olympic gymnast to be able to do the majority of these. As an example, here are three good ones to get you started:

The Bow Down - This one is pretty much exactly like it sounds. Stand up straight with your hands on your hips and keep them here throughout the exercise. Try not to bend your knees, and keep your chin off of your chest. The Yawn- This is an easy but effective stretch. Think about what your stretch is like after you get out of bed in the morning. Stand with your hands clasped together behind your neck, then look up and back as far as possible. The Leg Stretch- Sit down on the floor with your legs spread as far apart as is comfortable. With one hand, reach for your toes on the same left of your body. Now with your other hand, reach for your right foot. If you can't reach your feet comfortably, try to reach as far down your leg as possible. The most important thing is to keep your spine straight and pivot from the hips, without arching your spine.
