Why Your Abs Workout Isn't Working!

My stay at Rancho La Puerta in Tecate, Mexico, can be summed up in two words: fitness heaven. As a guest of the award-winning retreat, every day brought a slew of new classes to try—from hiking to kettlebells, there was something for everyone. While each class had its lasting benefits, weeks later, l still find myself going back to a simple tip mentioned during the Ranch's Ab + Cycle class.

Feeling fatigued after an intense ride on our Spin bikes, the entire class seemed to be struggling with the Pilates portion of the class. There was grunting happening, people propelling themselves up with force, and more than a few necks being strained. Seeing the potential for back injuries, our instructor, trainer JayDee Cutting III, offered a simple tip that has had far-reaching effects on all of my workouts since: "Focus on the muscle, not the movement."

Cutting went on to explain that if you solely focus on mimicking a movement, the integrity of an exercise can be compromised. Instead, think about which part of the body the exercise is targeting. For instance, if you're doing a squat and find that your glutes aren't fired up, rethink your form—doing so will ensure that your quads aren't overcompensating and your butt is getting the workout it deserves.

Cutting also suggests that whenever doing abs work on the floor, start the first exercise by placing your hand on the muscle being worked. As you go into the exercise, keep your hand there to make sure the muscle is being activated. If you find that it isn't, regroup, engage the muscle, and perform the exercise at a slower pace to see the difference. You'll also find that when doing abs work, it only takes a small amount of movement to engage the core, something important to consider the next time you find that you're pulling yourself up by the neck. Focus on the core, and you can let go of this idea of getting your head as far up as possible.

THE RIGHT FOODS AT THE RIGHT TIME - What You Should Eat - And When You Should Eat It - To Get The Most From Your Diet

Overview

Whether we’re talking buzzer beaters or marriage proposals, we all know that timing is everything. That’s also true when it comes to what you eat. Depending on the time of day or what situation you’re in, your body needs certain nutritional properties to help you get through—so you can work and live at your optimal level.

Food creates all kinds of hormonal reactions in your body—reactions that affect your mood, your alertness, your energy level, and everything in between. So while you may already know what you need to eat, it’s also important to know when to eat it. Follow our guide for the best foods to eat no matter what situation you’re in.

What to Eat… After a Tough Training Workout

When you put your muscles through a test, they’re like undergrads studying for finals—stressed and broken down. To respond to the next challenge, they’ll grow; that’s how you get stronger. But in order to take full advantage of that growth cycles, your muscles need proper nutrition.

Follow this formula for post-workout snacks: The carbohydrate-to-protein ratio should be 2:1 for short, low-to moderate intensity workouts or 3:1 in long, high intensity training sessions, says Andrea Hacker Thompson, MS, RD, of the ACSM Fit Society Page. The carbs will replenish the glycogen stores (that is, the stored glucose that provides energy), and the protein will rebuild the muscles.

Eat 30 minutes to one hour after completing your workout, because that’s the best window for your body to absorb the nutrients after a workout. Try a glass of chocolate milk or all-natural peanut butter on a piece of 100-percent whole wheat bread.

What to Eat… After a Long Meeting

If you feel foggy after sitting through a 200-slide PowerPoint presentation, munch on a few almonds. They provide healthy fats and a little protein, says Lauren O’Connor, RD, from Nutri-Savvy. Research published in the journal Neuron shows protein, not sugar, activates the cells that keep us awake and burning calories.

While whole grain carbohydrates provide the glucose that keeps the brain going, protein is what guarantees that you won’t forget what the meeting was about in the first place. That’s especially true when protein is rich in the amino acid tyrosine, a neurotransmitter that is critical for brain energy and alertness (one ounce of almonds contains 127 mg of tyrosine).

What to Eat… At the Finish Line

After any endurance event, replacing sweat loss should be your number one priority. That’s because you need to replace those glycogen stores. The best post-marathon foods and drinks will contain mostly carbohydrates, some vitamins and small amount of protein to help replenish those deleted stores, says Shari Portnoy, RD, CPT, a registered dietitian and certified fitness trainer. Even after a short race like a 5K, you should replenish what you depleted (just in smaller amounts).

Since liquid is more easily digested than solids and carbohydrates are more easily digested than protein, runners should go for regular or chocolate milk, says Ximena Jimenez, RD, national spokesperson for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. Chocolate milk has the desired 3:1 ratio of carbs to protein, and it helps replace other nutrients. “It’s actually a great source of electrolytes, especially potassium,” Jimenez says. For instance, 8 ounces of Gatorade has 30 mg of potassium versus 400 mg in low-fat milk and 425 in chocolate milk—and that’s important because you can lose potassium in endurance events.

What to Eat… After a Restless Night

Spent the night pounding pillows? The groggy feeling you’ll have the following morning isn’t your only problem. Researchers at UCLA researchers found that poor sleep causes increased ghrelin and decreased leptin during the day, which can lead to an increased appetite and overeating.

To combat this, start your day off with lean protein. Try an ounce of nuts or three ounces (abut a size of a deck of cards) of lean meat, which will keep you feeling satisfied longer. You can also try Greek yogurt mixed with a banana and some Chia seeds sprinkled in.

What to Eat… After a Night Out

When your happy hour gets out of hand, consider Jimenez’s morning fix: “The next day have a virgin Bloody Mary. It’s an easy hangover cure. The tomato juice will replenish your body from water and electrolyte losses caused by an alcohol binge.”

To cut back on that “ugh” feeling before it strikes, try pear cactus, says Erin Palinski, RD, author of the forthcoming book, Belly Fat Diet for Dummies. Researchers at Tulane University found that people who took capsules of pear cactus 5 hours before starting to drink experienced 50 percent fewer hangover symptoms.

The theory: Since excessive alcohol is essentially toxic to the body, the body responds by using the inflammatory response to counteract the effects of excessive alcohol and the damage it may cause to cells and organs. Compounds in pear cactus help decrease that inflammation.

If You Do 100 Sit-Ups Each Day For One Week, How Many Pounds Will You Lose?

More than just sit-ups are required to lose weight. Photo Credit Adam Gault/Digital Vision/Getty Images

Losing pounds requires a calorie deficit, meaning that you burn more than you consume. While it may seem as if 100 sit ups a day may lend itself to the six-pack of your dreams, solely doing sit ups will not help you lose weight. You can have rock solid abs beneath layers of fat, but melting the fat will require more than just spot training the area. To lose 1 to 2 lbs. per week, which is the healthiest rate of weight loss, according to MayoClinic.com, you must include proper diet and exercise.

Weight Loss

One pound is the equivalent of 3,500 calories. To lose 1 lb. a week, you must eliminate 500 calories per day through exercise, diet, or a combination of both. According to Csgnetwork.com, a calorie burn calculator, a 145-lb. person doing 5 minutes of vigorous sit ups will burn only 33 calories. In one week, that's only 231 calories -- not even half of what you should be burning per day.

Example

If you were to only do 100 situps every day for one week, you would not lose weight, even if you were coming from a very sedentary lifestyle. If you were to do 100 situps and then alter your diet by eliminating 450 calories per day, then you would most likely see the scale drop 1 lb. by the end of the week. Continue to include situps in your exercise regimen, but aim to burn more calories by exercising longer and harder.

Recommendation

If weight loss is your goal, consider changing your activity level. Exercising 30 minutes most days of the week will result in additional calorie burn and an increased chance of weight loss. That same 145-lb. person could burn nearly 400 calories with 30 minutes of fast cycling. If performed several days of the week, coupled with eliminating a mere 100 calories per day, you could be on track to lose 4 to 5 lbs. in a month.

Dieting

Dieting doesn't always mean embarking on a fad diet like the Atkins or the South Beach Diet. Eating several small meals per day will boost your metabolism, and filling your diet with protein, fiber and healthy fats will help keep you satiated. If you are burning 300 calories with your exercise plan, begin looking for ways to get rid of 200 calories from your diet. It could be as simple as eliminating a can of soda, a handful of chips, or that extra tab of butter you spread on your toast.

How Long Does It Take To Lose The Bulge & Get A Flat Stomach?

Crunches help tone the muscles in the abdomen.Photo Credit Goodshoot/Goodshoot/Getty Images

A flat belly is more of a challenge for some people than others due to genetics, current weight, and motivation to diet and exercise. It takes discipline to get a flat belly, and even more to get a flat belly quickly. This does not mean that it is impossible, but you need a diet and exercise regimen that will help you lose weight throughout your body, not just in the belly area. It is impossible to spot reduce fat, but you can tone your abdominal muscles while working to lose weight throughout your body.

Safe Weight Loss

The amount of time it takes to lose weight safely -- and get rid of your belly bulge -- depends a lot on your current weight. When you begin a diet and exercise program you can plan to lose a maximum of one to two pounds of weight per week. Losing more weight than this is not healthy, and generally results in gaining back weight after the diet period has ended. Speak to a physician before beginning a diet and exercise program to make sure that you have chosen a healthy path. She can help you estimate how long it will take to lose weight and get your body in shape.

Flat Belly Myths and Realities

It is true that some people have a harder time than others obtaining a perfectly flat belly -- some people store more fat in their stomach than others; this is do to genetics more than anything else. It is impossible to spot-reduce fat from one part of the body, so the best way to lose stomach fat is to eat a healthy diet, perform cardio exercise on a regular basis, and do strength training exercises to tone the stomach muscles. You will begin to see results in as little as two months if you work hard and stick to the plan.

Diet for Weight Loss

It is necessary to eat a healthy diet to lose your bulge and get a flat stomach. Choose to eat whole, unprocessed foods including lean proteins, whole grains, fruits and vegetables, low-fat dairy and healthy fats. Eat as many vegetables as you like every day along with smaller portions of fruit, protein, grains, and dairy products. Use small amounts of healthy fats, such as olive and coconut oil, along with spices to make your food taste good. Avoid eating fast food, sugary desserts, processed junk food and soft drinks as much as possible.

Healthy Lifestyle Activities

Cardio is an important aspect of weight loss; you need to be active to lose belly fat in the quickest possible time frame. Perform moderate to vigorous cardio exercise for a minimum 300 minutes per week to lose weight as quickly as possible. Moderate intensity exercise includes jogging, brisk walking and swimming where you are breathing heavier than normal but can still talk during your workout. Vigorous exercise involves running, swimming at a fast pace, and aerobics classes where you are breathing heavier than normal and can only talk in short, stilted conversations during your workout.

Core Strengthening Exercise: Crunches

Crunches are an important ab-strengthening tool that should be done three or four times per week minimum. Begin by lying on your back with your knees bent and hands clasped behind your head. Breathe in and lift your head approximately 6 to 12 inches off the ground. Hold for one to two seconds before lowering your head back to the ground. Do one to three sets of 20 repetitions.

Core Strengthening Exercise: Planks

A plank is a move often seen in yoga or Pilates; it has great benefits for your belly and core muscles. Begin by lying on your stomach with your elbows bent and your weight on your forearms. Slowly lift your body up so that your weight is fully rested on your elbows and toes. Keep your back straight and your belly held in as much as possible. Breathe in and out slowly while counting to 30. Do one to three sets of this exercise. Gradually increase plank time to two minutes each set. Do this exercise three to five days per week.

Warnings

• Don't attempt to eliminate carbs, fat or sugar from your diet entirely. You need nutrients from all the food groups to lose weight safely and keep it off.

Tips

• Talk to your doctor before beginning any exercise program or diet.
• Increase your amount of cardio exercise as your fitness level improves.
• Aim to burn 250 calories each day through exercise and cut 250 calories each day from your diet.

Pineapple & Tuna Fish Diet

The pineapple and tuna diet is a three-day fad diet intended to produce rapid weight loss. As you learn more about the diet you'll clearly see how and why this diet is an unhealthy fad and shouldn't be attempted. According to "Diets Exposed: Analysis of Popular Fad Diets," if a diet claims that you can lose more than 2 lbs. per week, limits your intake to only a few foods or cuts an entire food group out of your diet it is likely a fad diet.

Diet Guidelines

The pineapple and tuna diet lasts three days and promises a 5 lb. weight loss. The diet requires that you eat only the foods on the menu in the amounts specified. Eat six small meals per day. Water is the only permitted beverage on the diet. Intense exercise is discouraged during the diet. If you wish to exercise, try stretching or yoga.

Menu

On the first and third days of the diet you eat six meals consisting of 1/4 of a pineapple or approximately 1 cup of pineapple chunks. Space your meals two to three hours apart. Eat 1/4 of a pineapple for your first, third, fourth and sixth meals of the day. For your second and fifth meals of the day, eat 6 oz. of fresh tuna or canned tuna packed in water.

Weight Loss

Because the diet provides only approximately 500 calories per day, rapid weight loss is likely to occur. However, very little of the weight you lose is likely to be fat; most of it will be water and muscle. Because muscle burns more calories at rest than fat, losing muscle mass has a profound negative impact on your metabolic rate and increases your chances of experiencing rebound weight gain after the diet.

Considerations

Diets providing 800 calories per day or less, like the pineapple and tuna diet, are classified as very low calorie diets. Due to your metabolism slowing on a VLCD, these diets should only be performed under the supervision of a physician, according to "Handbook of Obesity Treatment," and should be used only when rapid weight loss is absolutely necessary for your health. Lasting weight loss requires you to form a balanced diet and exercise regimen you can stick to forever.

Can I Lose Weight And Have A Social Life?

3 Tips for Making Healthy Choices in Social Settings

As someone who has lost over 60 pounds and kept it off for over 12 years now, today I feel very blessed to work with people all over the world helping them to achieve their weight loss goals, without dieting or deprivation.

As a weight loss expert, one of the most common questions I get asked is, “What should I eat and drink when I’m out at social events?”

• Is this something that you struggle with too?
• Would you like to know how you can still be social, and lose weight at the same time?
• Have you ever wondered what you should do when you attend a work function or family gathering?

If so, then in this article, are my 3 top tips to help you lose weight naturally, even whilst attending numerous parties, work events and family gatherings. 

Tip #1: Mental Preparation.
At social events, it is important to mentally prepare yourself beforehand, so that once you are at the event, you can stay focused on achieving your health goals. As someone who is on a health mission, you may have very different priorities than most people at the party. Once there, remind yourself of this frequently!

Before the event, and whilst you are there, mentally ‘coach yourself.’ Reconnect back to your ‘bigger’ goals: remind yourself what you most desire.

You want to get strong

You want to lose weight

You want to feel healthy

You want to heal your body

You want to get your body back into balance

You want to feel good again

If you mentally prepare yourself beforehand, making empowering healthy choices will be easy. Even better, you will leave the party feeling proud of yourself. 

Tip #2: Think Addition, Not Deprivation.

Adopt the mindset of addition, never deprivation… 

Deprivation is the old-school way of losing weight. Plus, as Jon Gabriel and I share, it just doesn’t work over the long term (it can even do more harm than good!). As you start adding nutritious foods and drinks that nourish your body, it makes sense to also substitute real foods for fake foods wherever possible.

At social events, you will most likely come face to face with your ‘nemesis’ food; whatever that might be for you:

• Cookies
• Cake
• Fluffy white bread, margarine
• Crisps and chips
• Burger and chips
• Cheesy pizzas
• Cocktail sausages
• Artificial fizzy drinks…

The list of fake ‘party’ foods goes on… But remember, these are man-made foods, they are not real food. 

Remind yourself that your beautiful body does not even recognize these ingredients. They are not food you want to eat or put in your body. Eating these foods will certainly not help you lose weight. Eating these foods can make you gain weight…

Instead, try adding these real foods into your body…

• Juicy watermelon chunks
• Juicy pineapple chunks
• Platter of Veggie dippers
• Guacamole, hummous and dips
• Big colourful salads
• Mixture of different grilled vegetables, flavoured with tasty dressings, herbs and lemon juice
• Grated carrot or beetroot
• Grilled fish, grilled chicken or grilled zucchini
• Stuffed red peppers
• Grilled tomatoes
• Chocolate mousse made with avocado and coconut

If you know that you are going to a family gathering where the food/drinks are not healthy, if possible, take your own!
Who knows, you might even inspire your friends to eat real food as well! 
Add into your life – including your social life- foods that your body knows and recognizes.
Most importantly, keep choosing foods that will help you effortlessly achieve your health and weight loss dreams. 

Tip #3: Healthy Alternatives to Alcohol

At social events, instead of not drinking at all, try delicious non-alcoholic drink alternatives made from real food. Besides the damaging and dehydrating effects of drinking too much alcohol, it negatively influences your decision-making process, which will make it more challenging to stay committed to your health goals! 

Along with alcohol, substitute any ‘juice’ from a box or can, even if they say ‘natural’. These kind of juices and drinks are very disruptive to your body’s delicate internal chemistry, and disastrous for your weight and waistline.

They are made with high corn fructose syrup or refined sugars, along with artificial additives, colourings, flavourings and preservatives. They are made in a science lab and are a chemical concoction that is horrendous and damaging for your immune system, your brain, and your digestive system.

Here is an easy way to substitute these fizzy, sugary or alcoholic drinks for healthier alternatives instead

Start with the most gorgeous glass jug you can find. ¾ fill it with mineral, still or soda water. Add in generous amounts of freshly squeezed lemon, lime, pineapple, or orange juice. Then add in chunks of cucumber, pineapple or melon. Lemon and lime wedges are great too if desired.

Other ideas are pomegranate seeds, cherry halves, pieces of strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, blackberries… Let your imagination play!

Finish your drink with sprigs of fresh basil or mint. Drink immediately or leave to infuse. 
Serve in beautiful cocktail glasses of your choice.

These drinks looks amazing when served and are a party winner every time. They are very refreshing, especially when you squeeze the wedges to flavor it with fresh lemon or lime juice. Simply delicious!


If you are at a restaurant or bar, try ordering a large mineral water served with a generous wedge of lemon or lime in a tall glass.

Ask if they have any fresh non-alcholic alternatives. Perhaps a fresh berry smoothie. Or could they do you a freshly squeezed apple and ginger juice. Or a refreshing cucumber and mint juice in a tall glass with a straw. YUM!

If the places you currently frequent don’t serve these types of drinks, maybe it’s time for you to start looking for cafes, bars and restaurants that do serve healthy options…

Yes… You Can Lose Weight and Still Be Social

Losing weight is about taking charge of your life. Make the decision to go after your health and weight loss dreams and you can attend any party under the sun and still not want to put fake food in your body. 

Create the mindset for success and use the power of substitution to make healthy choices for yourself.
Eating real food is an active act of self-love and nourishing yourself from within.

Have fun with substituting and adding in healthy foods to your life.
Play and experiment with different ideas and food choices and over time, you’ll learn how to find healthy foods and drinks that are far superior to fake ones that truly align with your health goals.
And remember, you can do this. 

* On a side-note, many people drink alcohol to deal with ‘social anxiety’. If social anxiety is a problem for you, I suggest you check out other healing modalities such as emotional freedom technique (EFT) or tapping. 

I hope that you find this blog post helpful on your healing journey…

1.How many stairs you have in your House?

So, the first point is the stairs! The concept is simple! Tell me, what could be more accessible this way? We all need a certain number of times per day to climb-down on the floors. Why use the elevator? You’ll eventually achieve remarkable results by daily practicing walking up the stairs.

In addition, you will have the opportunity to take a look around, get some fresh air and even drop into any shop.

9 Foods You Should Remove From Your Diet

 

 

What foods you should remove from your diet?

Foods have the ability to make you healthy or diseased. Your food choices determine the deviation in one direction or another. Here are some examples of foods and food groups, which you must remove from your diet as soon as possible for a healthier replacement and appropriate food. 9 foods you should remove from your diet are:

1.Saturated Fat.

They are perhaps the number one culprit that is responsible for the fact that most of the world’s population is obese. They take the form of sinful food, very tasty, which is not hard to indulge in but extremely harmful.

Besides the accumulation of calories, saturated fat also contributes to the rapidly growing percentage of coronary heart disease, stroke and heart attacks in the world.

2.Frozen Food.

Aren’t they the most convenient and fastest ways of cooking your lunch or dinner on the go? However, this option is widely used as food, turns into a nightmare for the urban population. While these products can be labeled as low in calories, but they are even lower in nutritional value. They do not have fiber (dietary fiber) and protein.

They are processed carbohydrate sources that do not do any good, just fill you in all possible ways. If you need to preserve foods, prepare these products yourself at home, freeze and use them as needed.

3.Trans fats.

If you notice a “trans-fats” on the labels of food products, the best action is to abandon the food, even if for some reason you have already chosen.

Hydrogenated fats also contain trans fats, and therefore both categories are unsuitable for human consumption. The fact that trans fats raise cholesterol levels led to an increase in the number of heart disease and many other health problems in the country. Snacks and pastries are ideal examples of foods rich in trans fats.

4.Artificial coloring’s and sweeteners.

 

Artificial Sweeteners.

If you think that artificial sweeteners may be an alternative to real sugar, you’re wrong. Nothing artificial in food has never done anything good to the human body.

Artificial sweeteners such as sucralose, aspartame and saccharin are only increasing number of health problems, including fatal diseases such as cancer.

They also complicate the course of diseases such as migraines, chronic fatigue, joint and muscle pain, vision problems, nausea, gastrointestinal disorders and fibromyalgia.

Artificial colors are also responsible for the emergence of such effects.

5.Flavored yogurt.

 

Flavored yogurt.

Switch to the good old Greek yogurt instead. Fruit flavored yogurt may seem tempting and useful because it is believed that they contain fruit. But fruit flavored yogurt is just another name for sugar, which is rich in yogurt.

This small package can contain at least 10 grams or more sugars.

It would be a wise decision if you stay away from flavored yogurt.

6.Processed meat.

 

Processed meats with nitrites are very dangerous. Hot dogs, bacon and your lunch meats piece that contain nitrites, can mix with the other ingredients in your stomach, and turn into carcinogenic.

They are responsible for the spread of cancer.

7.White flour.

 

Don’t choose the ‘RIGHT’ one here! 

White flour is a flour that has been treated to the fullest extent possible. And such treatment leaves it completely without the nutrients. They also do not add any value to the food. White flour deplete your body of nutrients, lack of stock. Better go whole for grain.

8.Carbonated Drinks.

 

Carbonated drinks.

Conventional or diet sodas were identified as the main reasons for the emerging health problems in America. The importance of water for your body is enormous and huge water changes sodas can make life and health extremely vulnerable. These fizzy drinks increase thirst, drain the bone density, increasing the formation of tooth decay and speed up the risks of heart disease and stroke.

9.Processed cheese.

Any products that are unreasonably long shelf life, have a lot of things wrong in its composition.

If you want to eat cheese, eat those species which grow mold during prolonged storage.

Cream cheese can be stored in the refrigerator for a long time. They are neatly wrapped slices sold in cans or cartons. They are a crazy amount of preservatives that can cause more damage than you can imagine.

Cream cheese.

Health is the most important investment you can make when you are healthy, when you can enjoy the beauty of life at any age. Eat healthy foods and lead a life without stress.
