]]> Exercise Fundamentals Keep two things in mind when designing your personal exercise program. Although you’re invigorated by a group exercise program, fitness training with others at the gym may not be an option. Time and money don’t always allow for the luxury of fitness training at the gym.

You will need to work out at home. Statistics show that approximately two-thirds of all people with a club membership also own in-home fitness equipment. Setting up an in-home gym provides you with the best of both worlds. Try a plan mixed with aerobic and strength training activities. Cross training is a good way for you to approach your exercise program to maximize benefits and minimize boredom. Consider aerobic equipment like treadmills, exercise bikes, rowing machines elliptical trainers and aerobic steppers when setting up your in home exercise program.

Exercise is essential that when you do any exercise that you perform the movements correctly, if you don’t you will receive less then optimum benefit from the exercise. It is very difficult to unlearn bad exercise habits, so it is best to learn the right exercise technique from the very start. You can fully contract the lats only when you arch your back. When training your lats, arch your back in the fully contracted position of each lat exercise to maximize the peach contraction and get full lat development.

For workout pick 3-4 of these exercises and do 4 sets for each exercise. You can vary the exercises you do for each back workout. This is one of the best power building exercises that you can do. Deadlifts work the spinal erectors, quadriceps, buttocks, hips, forearms, trapezius, lats, and abdominals. For more details visit www.soundbodytrainer.com

]]> Kundalini Yoga is the original and most powerful of the twenty-two schools of yoga, all of which are beneficial. The Yoga Sutras (writings) say that what you can achieve in 12 years of Hatha Yoga, plus 6 years of Raj Yoga, plus 3 years of Mantra Yoga, plus 1 year of Laya Yoga can be accomplished in a single year of perfectly practiced Kundalini Yoga.

Kundalini Yoga is designed for the active person with responsibilities in school, work, family and the world. It was maintained as a secret oral tradition for thousands of years which protected the techniques from abuse, but also created an unnecessary image of mystery. Kundalini Yoga can be practiced by anyone if it is done gradually and according to the instructions.

As our society becomes increasingly technological, our world becomes more intimately connected and influenced by its numerous cultures. The pace of change is on the rise and the stress on our body’s nervous system is increasing. The science of Kundalini Yoga allows us to tap into a technology that helps us cope with this escalating change. The inner science of the mind is the tool that will enable us to cope with the pressure of these changes. It is the mind that interprets our outer and inner worlds and it is the mind that we must train to guide us through the flow of change.

As a beginning student you should go at a pace that suits your flexibility and endurance. As you feel more comfortable with the exercises taught in class, begin to practice at home. If you can practice at the same time each day, you will find that you will improve rapidly. Try to take one to three yoga classes a week and one workshop a month to establish a firm foundation for an effective program that fits your needs, goals, capacity and lifestyle. Wear loose exercise clothes to class, preferably of cotton or other natural fiber and if you wish, bring an exercise mat. For more details visit www.soundbodytrainer.com

]]> Shoulder exercises are commonly done by bodybuilders and others looking to gain bulk or definition in their upper body. These same shoulder exercises can be just as valuable to those looking to keep their body’s strong and functional or even those looking to lose weight. There are many shoulder exercises to choose from, many of which are less effective or safe. Listed below are three of the most proven shoulder exercises, along with a description of the motion and a list of equipment needed.

This exercise can be conducted with either a barbell or dumbbells. Whichever weight you use, start either standing or sitting with the weight held at eye level with you hands further than shoulder length apart. Smoothly push the weight overhead while keeping the lower back straight and steady. Do not lock the arms at the top. Then lower to original position, never letting the elbows sink to lower than a 90-degree angle. This exercise requires nothing other than the barbell and sufficient weight or dumbbells, though an adjustable weight bench and weight or dumbbell rack can be useful.

This exercises requires dumbbells. Start by sitting on a weight bench or medicine ball while holding the weights at the sides with palms facing in. With the arms slightly bent, lift both weight up and out from the body until the arms are pointing straight out to the sides roughly at shoulder level. Hold for a moment then smoothly lower to the starting position once again. It is important not to lift past the shoulder, as different muscles will then take over the exercise. The only required equipment for this exercise are dumbbells and a bench or medicine ball, though a dumbbell rack offers convenience for your home gym.

Begin by standing while holding the barbell in front of you with palms facing toward the body. Slowly bend the arms, pulling the barbell up the body to chest level. Pause then lower once more. It is important to remember to keep the wrists straight and the elbows always above the bar to target the shoulder muscles. Adjusting the handgrip will target different areas of the shoulder. The only equipment needed to perform this exercise is your chosen form of weight and a rack to keep things organized, or a weight machine with an upright row function.

]]> Lifestyle factors cause most incidents of heart disease and diseases in the blood circulation, either wholly or partially. Bad lifestyle can cause blood vessels to be narrowed, high blood pressure and inflammatory processes in the circulatory system. These changes will themselves decrease the general condition and tissue health, and can cause more dramatic events like blod clots, heart infarction or stroke.

Here are some simple advices to avoid disease in the heart and blood vessels and to help regain good circulatory health if such disease already are present.

- Do not smoke or use any other types of nicotine sources. Smoking is perhaps the most potent cause of circulatory problems.

- Have some exercises at least every second day that make your heart work harder. Jogging, cycling, playing ball, swimming or other activities where you increase your energy consume are good for your blood circulation. The exercises should however be adjusted to your present health condition.

- Get enough sleep each 24 hours. All the sleep does not however need to occur during night. You can for example take out some of your need for sleep as a siesta in the middle of the day. 7 hours sleep seems to be the ideal for optimal circulatory health. Much more sleep seems to be bad for your blood circulation.

- Avoid a high amount of stress over a longer period. If there is something in your lifestyle or work that makes you stressed, you should make adjustments. Meditation is a good method to stress down.

- Decrease the amount of fat in your diet. Do not add much oil, butter or other types of fat to your food. Do not consume much fast-food or ready made food that often contain great amount of added fat.

-Avoid altogether chemically altered fat, so-called trans-fat. This type of fat is often found in margarine and is often added to many types of cookies. Avoid great amounts of saturated fat, as found in fat milk, fat diary products, coconut products and butter.

- Still you need some fat. The fat you mostly need are mono-unsaturated fat as found in olives, olive oil, rape oil, canola oil and almonds, omga-3-polyunsaturated fat found for example in fish, seafood and flax oil and omga-6-polyunsatyrated found in sunflower oil, soy oil, corn oil, sunflower seeds and many types of nuts.

- Much of the fat you still choose to add to your food should be oils with mono-unsaturated fat like olive oil, rape oil, almond oil or canola oil. Marine oils or flax oil can be added to get enough omega-3-fat. You can also use some soy oil, corn oils and other types of natural oils with a high content of omega-6-fat, but do not use too much of these to avoid over-consuming this type of fat.

- Eat some nuts, almonds or sunflower seeds several times each week, since these food types give you fat valuable for your circulatory health.

- Eat fish at least every second day. Use lean meat, lean poultry, mushrooms, seafood and lean diary products in the food you make.

- Consume a moderate amount of carbohydrates. Avoid adding great amounts of sugar to your food. Avoid consuming much sweet drinks, cookies and snacks with great amounts of sugar and other carbohydrates.

- Use carbohydrate sources that contain fibre and that let the carbohydrates be taken up over some time, for example full corn bread and cereals, beans, peas and fresh fruit.

- Eat vegetables and fruit to each meal in order to get enough vitamins, minerals, fibres and anti-oxidants. They should be raw or only gently cooked so that the content of nutrients is not washed out.

- Consume just a little amount of salt. Do not add great amount of salt to your food or do not eat great amounts of salty food. By hot conditions and by heavy bodily work you will however need some more salt.

- A moderate alcohol consume is good for your blood circulation, especially red wine, but over-drinking has the opposite effect.

- Avoid excessive eating. Eating too much is not good for your blood circulation even though you eat sound food.

- Reduce excessive weight. The advices depicted above will often over time normalize your weight. If this is not enough you should carry through a more specific weight reduction program.

- If you suffer from diabetes, this disease should be well controlled.

- Extra supplements of vitamins, minerals, essential fatty acids and anti-oxidants may be useful. Also some herbal supplements containing adaptogenic factors can be useful, for example supplements based on ginseng or roseroot (Rhodiola rocea). Supplements are especially useful if it is difficult to achieve a wholly satisfactory diet, or you have extra stressful conditions in your life you cannot avoid.

The advices depicted above are not only good for your circulatory health, but will also help to avoid rheumatism, cancer and other types of diseases.
