			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I am adhering to the school of thought that progressive overloading is the most beneficial way to increase both your strength, endurance and your muscle mass at the same time for a triple-whammy. The rule goes that every time you have your workout session, you should increase the amount of reps you do to stimulate muscle growth.</p>
<p>I initially had a hard time increasing my reps at the end of every session. I guess my body got used to my regular workout session and knew when it had reached its limits. But I’ve found that by tweaking my workout session a little, I am now managing to add those extra reps every time I go to the gym.</p>
<p>My method is to half your cardio workout, and split them so you perform half of your cardio workout before your weight training, and the other half you finish after your weight training. It is a pretty small tweak, so it doesn’t mess with my plan so much, and it actually works to keep my sessions a little more balance, so if you follow the same progressive plan as I, give it a try.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Being a mother of three young children, I’ve struggled to keep in shape and tone for many reasons including work and of course bringing up my kids. I have dabbled into gym sessions in the past and I never lasted very long. It was easy for me to feel absolutely flat on my feet after work and the kids to then go to the gym.</p>
<p>I soon realised that it was not that the gym sessions I was doing were so difficult, but they were just the wrong type of sessions I should have been doing. I’ve talked to an in-law family member who is a gym instructor and we have worked together on a fitness plan. Before I was signed up to a mostly cardio session, but now I am geared towards gaining muscle mass. </p>
<p>It was explained to me that cardio was important, but to tone my body into shape and sculpt back by youth was to try to bulk up slightly. And I have to say it is paying off big time. So any ladies out there who are feeling like their gym sessions aren’t headed anywhere, ask for a consultation with a trainer at your gym!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When I first started weight lifting around 10 years ago, one of the first machines I ever stepped onto in a gym was an elliptical cross trainer. I found it incredibly tough because it worked so many areas of the body, a real cardio lung buster! But now all those years later, when I’ve gained the muscle mass that I wanted to achieve, I find myself using these machines more and more.</p>
<p>I guess they have an inherent ability to keep my muscle toned, it is still a tough workout all these years later, but as a piece of equipment for keeping you toned and defined, I doubt there is anything better suited to working out many more muscle groups than single exercise equipment could achieve.</p>
<p>I even bought the same model elliptical cross trainer as they have in my gym to use at home, and it is so perfect to warm up at home and then travel to the gym for a day’s session. Using it when coming home sometimes helps me warm down after a particularly hard session, so I couldn’t recommend t more.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Fat is typically the worst nightmare for someone interested in building muscle mass. The ability of fat to hide areas of muscle definition is legendary. Even the word ‘fat’ has negative connotations, especially in the bodybuilding and fitness world. But alas, there are plenty of fats that are not only good for you, but essential for your health, and vital to your quest to get ripped.</p>
<p>The two main types of fats that will help your nutrition and overall health are what are known as ‘essential fatty acids’. These are somewhat widely known to be beneficial to the body, and are more commonly referred to as ‘Omega 6’ and ‘Omega 3’ fatty acids. These types of fat are not present in the body in large amounts, but contained in lots of high protein foods such as fish.</p>
<p>You can also find these fats as part of nutritional supplements in the form of oils and health drinks. They are renowned for their effects on the body and brain function, proven to keep you alert and focused. On the other hand you have the opposite such as saturated fats, contained in foods such as potato chips, fatty meat and just about anything fried. Be sure to keep an eye out for such fats, and know that not all of them are so bad after all.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When starting out, I think people do not realise that steadily paced workout sessions are key to building the muscle mass you want to achieve. Many people think that they need to work out until they collapse to gain bulk, and take the ‘no pain, no gain’ rule of thought too literally. Sometimes this can be a negative and often harmful issue.</p>
<p>They key to success is a training session that eases your muscles into action. This way you are less likely to firstly injure yourself, secondly you are less likely to put too much strain on specific muscle groups which leads to heavy fatigue, and lastly to work your muscles the way they were intended to work.</p>
<p>Heavy hitting weight training more often than not leads to strength, but not necessarily bulk and definition. Muscles work by stretching and pulling between your joints, so when you open your arm out fully stretched and fully close it again, that is your full range of motion. Working your muscles through their natural full range of motion will give you well defined, lean muscle as well as gym envy!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I often see many guys at the gym who are huge, massive shoulders and biceps, but the moment they do some cardio and get on the treadmill, they are puffing and gasping for air after ten minutes or so. Cardio is so important when trying to build muscle mass, it keeps your body ticking over and gives the added ability of endurance.</p>
<p>For me, endurance comes from great nutrition. You can drink all the protein shakes you want, but if you don’t have proper balanced meals to compliment them, you are losing half the battle. It isn’t hard to find a balanced nutritional meal plan these days, half of the internet is shouting about fad diets and low-this and anti-that as part of a plan, but the only place you really need to look is at food labelling.</p>
<p>Be absolutely meticulous when shopping for food, make sure you have your diet plan handy to tick off the calories and fatty acids as you shop, visit more dedicated health and fitness stores to buy your food and enquire about the nutritional value of each product. These things go hand in hand; nutrition, endurance and exercise.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I am 17 years old and I am just starting out in the gym to try and get a lean physique. I have been turned away from a few gyms which only allow 18+ members to join (some only allow persons over the age of 21 to join) so I managed to source gym equipment for my use at home.</p>
<p>I followed the Spartan workout plan that a friend of mine sent me details on and even though I’m working from home (with the support from my dad who is a regular gym goer) I’m making great progress and feeling stronger every day. That is a key point for me; strength. As I am still maturing physically, I am aiming to give my body to develop to its maximum potential.</p>
<p>The training mostly consists of dumbbell lifts, squat lifts, bent straight curls and abdominal crunches. The session is broken down into sets of 20x for each, with a rest period of 30 seconds between each set in the sequence. My favourite set at the moment is the single-arm clean press; my arms feel really powerful after those sets!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I was a late-comer to the bodybuilding scene, having spent my high school years in great shape as running back I as physically fit with a lean physique. Later on when I was in my 20s I did fewer sports and got too busy in the end to keep active. I soon piled on the pounds in my 30s and by the time I hit 40 I decided I was going to do something about it.</p>
<p>Having lost a decent amount of weight through mostly jogging activities, I turned my hand to weight lifting at my gym to recoup my youth a little and gain some muscle definition again. It has been tough, but through a combination of a high protein diet and a rigorous training session, I’ve manage to gain 30lbs of muscle mass and my self-esteem has gone through the roof.</p>
<p>I perform 10 sets of 10 reps of bench press, squat, lateral curls, dead weight lifts, bench curls and pull-ups and tend to mix and match a random set that I feel I am lacking in at the end of the session. It took literally 2 weeks to see noticeable results, and I’m now both the oldest guy in our small local gym as well as the envy for guys my age.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Getting a lean, structured midsection is one of the common goal everyone working out have. There are certain things to remember to achieve this goal. The most important thing is to concentrate on the abs while you workout for it. Pay attention to the movement of muscles of your abs. There is a mind-muscle connection that must be ensured to get the optimum result. Gradual increase in the intensity is another factor. After a few days workout, your abs muscle will not respond to the workout. At this stage, you should consider increasing the intensity of the workout.</p>
<p>Do not relay on the same exercise for so long. Abs muscles adopts to the stressor gradually and the same exercise will not work. There are about fifteen different types of exercise for abs. Consider changing the exercise more often. Add some twisting motion to your abs exercise. This will help in making an outside stress away from your body.</p>
<p>Abs building is one of the most important and difficult task that requires special attention. The reason behind your failure of abs building will be just the lack of concentration or doing the same exercise for long time. By following these tips you can easily build your abs. Keep these tips in mind and achieve the results.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>High intensity training is the most effective method to improve your muscle strength and mass. It involves workouts of maximum strength for short period of time. Most people confuse it with excessive workouts that causes muscle wasting. Overdoing will only make things worse. Here are some quality guidelines for an effective high intensity training.</p>
<p>4 to 6 exercise for lower body and 6 to 8 exercise for upper body in a 2 to 3 set is the optimal method of high intensity workout. While selecting the resistance, it should be in such a way that it allows up to 15 repetitions. If you can perform more than 15 repetitions you need to increase the resistance further. You should stop the exercise when you can perform no additional exercise in good form. It is harmful to do exercise without proper body position and good form. Start with the largest muscle towards the smaller one and do not take more time in between each exercise. </p>
<p>A banging weight stack is an indication of loss of control. Stop the exercise at this time. Slower but continuous exercise is the key to effective workout. Each set of exercise should be continuous without any interruption.  Breathing during the exercise should be continuous. Do not hold your breath while doing the exercise.
