The great exercise debate: what’s the better method for working out? Bodyweight, or free weight exercises? The fact of the matter is, there isn’t such thing as a “better” method, because both bodyweight and free weight exercises can (and should) have a place in your workout routines. For example, bodyweight exercises allow you to follow through a completely natural movement, therefore reducing your risk of injury, and increasing your benefits from the exercise. A lot of bodyweight exercises utilize several muscles at once, too. For instance, if you perform a push-up, you’re not just working your chest; the secondary and tertiary muscles worked are your triceps and shoulders. You’ll also find that, since bodyweight exercises are utilizing a different type of load than free weights, you’ll most likely perform higher reps, which also make them effective at toning muscle. One con with bodyweight exercises can be that they’re too tough from the get-go for someone who might be a beginner, or someone with a little extra weight on them. Push-ups, dips, and most definitely, pull-ups, can be extremely difficult for someone without a solid foundation of strength. On the other hand, free weights can be ideal for beginners, since you...

When you consider all of the things that are involved in living a fitness lifestyle — the training, the diet, etc. — there are many, many facets that are involved. Everything from the way you work out, to the timing of the foods you eat, to how many hours of sleep you get, and so much more can all affect the kinds of gains you make. However, something that falls short on a lot of individuals are the very hormones that are involved in your body, and the way they can help (or hinder) your progress. You may already be familiar with testosterone, and how it can help increase protein synthesis, which can lead to further development of lean muscle mass. Conversely, the hormone cortisol is catabolic, in that it essentially breaks down tissue. It literally reduces protein synthesis and the growth of tissue. The control of your cortisol levels really can play a large role in your development of muscle. While there isn’t a lot you can do in the way of completely shutting out this hormone (nor would you want to), you can take measures into your hands by adhering to a few basic ideas. Keep your workouts...

We’ve covered some of the best foods that everyone should include in their diet (here) before, but today we’re going to delve into something a little more specific. Actually, two things — one of which may come as a surprise. If you aren’t already aware, water is without a doubt one of the best things you can put into your body. It’s literally the source of all life on our planet and it’s benefits are innumerous. If you’re looking to lose weight, drink water. If you’re looking to build muscle, drink water. If you want to work out harder and longer, drink water. If you want to just feel better, drink water. You won’t want to miss out on the plethora of benefits that consuming more citrus will bring either. For starters, consuming more citrus fruits can help in warding off type 2 diabetes, cancer, and stroke! It doesn’t stop there, though. Citrus fruits are famous for their richness in vitamin C, which is filled with its own health merits. They say that stress is related to 99% of all illnesses, and vitamin C is looking to change that. It not only helps to reduce stress, but also strengthen your immune...

One of the key principles to experiencing continual growth in your workouts is, as you know, to change things up. Never get stuck in the same routine, or you’ll fall into a plateau. Yes, the best way to keep your body guessing is by introducing different exercises. However, providing it with different techniques in which you do these exercises is also a sure-fire way to keep your body in adaptation mode. Below, we’ll illustrate some of the most effective methods for continual growth. Single set. The most common method. This is an exercise, performed by itself.            Example: A set of bicep curls. Super set.

This is 3–4 exercises performed back-to-back without rest.            Example: A set of bicep curls, followed by a set of hammer curls, followed by a set of reverse curls. Drop set. This is an exercise performed to a desired number of reps, and then immediately followed up with the same exercise, at a lighter weight. There are variations to...

Omega-3 fatty acids are one of the most unsung heroes of any mainstream nutrition advice. They’re incredibly beneficial to the human body, and are absolutely necessary for certain functions (that’s why they’re called “essential”). What’s funny is, though, is that the body is unable to create this important fat itself. That’s why it’s important to include foods with omega-3s in your diet. There are plenty of foods containing omega-3s (most commonly fish). However, there are some foods, like certain pastas and breads, that have been enhanced with the benefits of omega-3s too. Why would you want to include this polyunsaturated fatty acid in your diet? Well, they’re essential for a ton of bodily functions, but also are full of health benefits as well. These include: improved artery health, cholesterol, and lung health. support for mental, joint, and bone health. decreased chance of cancer (colon, breast and prostate). enhanced mood, promote weight loss, and help to protect vision. For those of you who are looking to build muscle, it’s been suggested that fish oils support protein synthesis in muscles, and help reduce muscle breakdown! Don’t sweat it too much if you’re having trouble fitting in foods teeming with omega-3s. These days...
