    February 22nd, 2009

    Face exercises has slowly gained notoriety as being THE most popular way to sculpt a truly amazing, chiseled jaw line and remove annoying double chin syndrome! What was once an "underground" method for surely building and strengthening the facial muscles is now becoming more mainstream than ever! This is thanks in part to more and more people noticing incredible, truly life(and face) changing results!

    So how is it exactly that face and neck exercises can truly help to eliminate or at least recede a double chin? Simple, by strengthening the muscles under your neck. This is rather easy to do once you have a clear understanding of the concept behind it. You see, under your chin there are over 7 muscles that make up the neck and chin area. Once you can fully manipulate these areas, you will start to notice a firming within the entire area. This firming action is what will start to transform your neck into a sculpted and toned neck that you’ve probably always desired.

    Well , you do not have to desire this anymore, because in this article I will show you some simple techniques that you can start doing TODAY to start truly building a chiseled jaw line and even to get rid of that nagging, annoying double chin!

    So what can we do to help accelerate the toning and firming of all facial areas?

    1. Maintain a healthy weight loss regime. This would mean doing high intensity interval cardio training at least 2-5 times a week. This is not hard at all ,especially if you do it for the recommended 20 minutes a day. Think about it, 20 minutes a day is only less than 3% of your entire day! Now if you seriously wanna tell me that you can’t do this truly, then you simply do not deserve to look and feel your best!

    I mean, seriously, you spend more time that this watching television! So get your lazy butt off the couch and do some form of fitness! I always advocate jumping jacks or jump-rope. A jump rope could be the greatest and best invention yet!

    2. Maintain a healthy body building regime. This is simple. Muscle weighs more than fat, so if you keep yourself in great shape muscularly, then you can also be sure that your face will look more toned and cut.

    3.Do simple sit ups! Believe it or not, simple oblique crunches can do wonders for anyone wishing to build a truly sculpted and chiseled jaw line!

    So here you have it guys, some simple methods for helping you to achieve those facial muscles you want even quicker! Combined with face exercises, the methods outlined in this article will help you to truly sculpt the amazing facial muscles you’ve always wanted and desired. And you owe it to yourself!

    Fitness articles- How to look like male fitness models?

    July 20th, 2008

    male fitness models

    If you’ve ever wondered how male fitness models get and maintain their physique then continue reading! There are various fitness articles that will tell you how to get a hot body, but what about the face? Getting a body like these models takes a lot of work, but it may very well be worth it in the long run. Before I go into full details on what the fitness routines of a male fitness model entails, let’s first take a look at the advantages of having such a body:

    • -Your self-esteem is at it’s all time highest. Believe it or not our looks play the biggest part in self-esteem issues
    • -Your confidence goes through the roof! This can help you get that job wanted, get the girl you wanted, or so many other positive things in life!
    • -You love yourself more
    • -Others love you more(or at least like looking at you more!)
    • -Your chances of finding the potential sex or love mates increase!
    • -You are more happier overall
    • -You are less stressed overall
    • -And so much more!

    So as you can see, there are many advantages to wanting to look like male fitness models! The first order of the day is weight management. It’s no lie that male models possess a very low body fat percentage. High intensity cardio activity can help you shed unwanted pounds more easily and effectively. A 20 minute high intensity cardio session is equal to 40 minutes of regular cardio activity! To it’s also a time-saver. Ideally, you want to try to get at least 30 minutes each session, 3-5 times a week. Don’t have time to go to the gym? Start running, doing skip-ropes, or buy a cardio machine you really like for your home!

    Eating smaller, more frequent meals will also help you maintain healthy weight. To really look like male fitness models, you must watch your caloric intake and make sure it doesn’t go in excess too often. Perhaps cutting out 200-400 calories daily out of your current diet can help. Fatloss4idiots can really help you with great, low calorie meal assistance and will even make online plans for you for the entire week!

    Next, you want to start building lean muscle. As a general rule for beginners or intermediate weight lifters, training your muscles every other day is an easy way to monitor muscle training days. Push yourself as hard as you can. A great muscle training program I highly recommend is no nonsense muscle building. This program really kicks ass and is a great outline of exercises to employ to build a great body.

    Building muscle will help you shed fat as muscle weighs more than fat! So it would make sense to build lean muscle tissue all over your body.

    Okay, so by this time your well on your way to looking like male fitness models. Of all the fitness articles out there, none of them still show you how to get a male fitness models’ face! The answer is quite simple: Face exercises! Many models, celebrities and fitness models use face and neck exercises to build, sculpt and define their facial features. If you can build and sculpt the muscles of your body, wouldn’t it make sense to do the same with your facial muscles? A great program I highly recommend is Face Sculptor for Men. You will learn how to exercise all 50 muscles of your face to create a chiseled jaw line, enhanced cheekbones, and so much more!

    So here you have it guys! The male fitness models’ guide to looking great! Perhaps you won’t look exactly like a male fitness model, but at least you’ll get the closest you possible can to looking like one!

    When you are striving to look hotter, just keep on thinking about the benefits I mentioned above. As soon as you see some results , you will amazed at how much better you feel. Good luck on your fitness journey!



    The Most Ultimate Male Fitness Routine Ever

    June 26th, 2008

    What would the world’s most ultimate male fitness routine involve anyways? Would it be a perfect body,chiseled,rock hard abs,a hard strong chest,defined arms and a stunning jawline? Surely all that sounds promising but if you don’t have a plan to achieve this where do you begin? This article will help unravel the most commonly effective and fastest ways to get there!

    We’ll first take a look at what it takes to be the most ultimate "you",physically at least.

    • 1.LOWER BODY FAT PERCENTAGE-Eating habits-Exercise
    • 2.BUILD LEAN MUSCLE MASS-Muscle building Schedule
    • 3.ENHANCE FACIAL FEATURES-Face Exercises

    Yes, you read the last one right,enhanced facial features! How exactly is this done? Well I’ll tell you right now that it won’t be done through plastic surgery, at least not by the methodology I’ll be recommending.

    But first let’s take a look at the first two for ultimate male fitness.

    LOWER BODY FAT PERCENTAGE

    Eating habits-You can lose weight and keep it off by a variety of methods that really work.

    First off,start by eating smaller meals. A small,fist sized meal every 3-4 hours. This will allow you to eat 4-6 meals a day! This will help keep the metabolism spiked all throughout the day. Think of your body as a furnace. If you don’t give it more wood(fuel) it won’t keep on burning,right?

    Also, you will want to eat healthy. Make fruits and veggies a bigger part of your dietary lifestyle. Lean meats and proteins are excellent choices also. A huge part of perfect male fitness is to have healthy eating habits!

    Try not to use sugar as much as possible and avoid excessive soda’s,alcohol,juices and other "empty" calories. Use Pam cooking spray instead of oil. Think smart! There are ways to cut calories without sacrificing taste.

    Exercise- Instead of doing an hour on the treadmill, do 20-30 minutes interval training instead. This cuts time and also helps tweak metabolism to keep on burning long after your done! Start by doing 5 minutes regular warm-up. Then start to go as fast as you possibly can without burning out or injuring yourself. Do this for 1 or 2 minutes.

    Then go back down to normal,relaxed pace for 2 minutes. Then start going as fast as you can again for 1-2 minutes. Rinse and repeat. You catch the drift right? Great!

    2.BUILD LEAN MUSCLE MASS

    Another critical element to perfect male fitness! Building lean muscle mass will help you achieve a body of the God’s! Try doing weight training every other day. Allowing one day to rest is ideal for muscles to build. There are plenty of programs on the net that offer great exercise charts, programs and even software to suit your needs.

    3.ENHANCE FACIAL FEATURES

    Want to create a stunning,chiseled jawline in less than a week? Then you should seriously consider face exercises to help define the jaw line,help enhance the cheekbones,eliminate under eye bags and even eliminate double chin!

    There are over 50 muscles on the face and it is quite easy to manipulate them to your liking just as you would with any other muscle on your body through body building. The areas that you will notice results quickly are the jawline area and the double chin area and all that is needed is 15 minutes!

    Alcohol’s Effects on Testosterone

    Alcohol’s Effects on Testosterone

    New Study May Explain Aggressive Behavior in Some Drinkers

    The majority of research conducted in the past 25 years, in both animals and humans, has found that alcohol inhibits testosterone secretion. However, a new study found that alcohol can induce a rapid increase in plasma and brain concentrations of testosterone in some rodents.

    "We have demonstrated that there are very different results in the way two different groups of male rats form testosterone after acute administration of alcohol," said Robert H. Purdy, senior staff scientist in the department of neuropharmacology at The Scripps Research Institute and senior author of the study. "These differences in animals may reflect similar individual differences in humans, and provide new insights for understanding individual differences in the behavioral and endocrine pathology associated with alcohol abuse."

    Fourfold Increase

    According to the ACER report: Researchers "injected either alcohol or 1,1-dideuteroethanol (2 g alcohol/kg body weight) into the abdominal cavities of two groups of rats, 30 un-operated and 24 adrenalectomized and castrated (ADX/GDX) Wistar males. 1,1-dideuteroethanol is a nonradioactive form of alcohol in which two of the hydrogen atoms on carbon atom #1 of ethanol have been replaced by deuterium atoms, which can then be traced."

    They then used mass spectrometry to determine both the amount of neuroactive steroids present and the degree of deuterium in specific neuroactive steroids isolated from brain samples.

    The resarchers found that concentrations of testosterone increased fourfold in the frontal cortex and threefold in the plasma of the un-operated rats 30 minutes after alcohol administration. ADX/GDX rats had testosterone concentrations that were only five percent of those found in the un-operated rats after alcohol injection. The findings demonstrated that alcohol oxidation is directly linked to testosterone biosynthesis, the authors said.

    Unanticipated Results

    "Our finding of a direct link between alcohol administration and the level of the neuroactive steroid testosterone in the brain of these experimental animals was unanticipated from prior studies with another species of rats," Purdy said.

    "Although many other studies clearly demonstrate that chronic consumption of high dosages of alcohol appears to be consistently inhibitory and suppresses reproductive function," said Dennis D. Rasmussen, research associate professor in the department of psychiatry at the University of Washington, "this study raises the possibility that episodes of alcohol consumption may also at least temporarily increase testosterone levels, with the direction of the response likely being dependent upon a variety of factors, including dosage and personal characteristics.

    "This particular dosage produced blood alcohol levels and behavioral responses consistent with intoxication. So, alcohol consumption, under at least some conditions and by at least some individuals, may acutely stimulate testosterone levels in the plasma and brain of both males and females and thus could elicit some of the behavioral effects associated with increased testosterone levels, such as increased libido or aggression."

    The Role of Testosterone

    Rasmussen said, his findings join those of two other studies in which alcohol administration increased plasma testosterone levels in a gender- and dose-dependent manner. "Together these studies are important," he said, "because they illustrate that what has become a largely accepted principal - that alcohol consumption inhibits plasma testosterone levels and reproductive function - is not universally true."

    Rasmussen suggested that future research build upon and add to previous findings regarding alcohol’s effects on testosterone. "It would be important to determine whether lower dosages of alcohol, which do not induce rapid pronounced intoxication and ataxia, would also produce the acute increase in testosterone, and whether this response to lower dosages would be consistent across different strains of rats. Also, does tolerance develop with repeated administrations?

    "Does this increase in testosterone occur following elective self-administration of alcohol? Finally, and probably most interesting, what role might the demonstrated changes in testosterone play in behavioral responses to acute ethanol consumption? Are there gender differences in these responses? And, if the responses do occur in females, are they different during different stages of a woman’s cycle?"

    Source: The Study was published in the January 2003 issue of Alcoholism: Clinical & Experimental Research.

    All You Ever Wanted To Know About TESTOSTERONE!

    April 26th, 2008

     

    testosterone

    Testosterone is most famous for it’s anabolic, muscle building and masculine imparting qualities.

    Testosterone is a hormone produced in the testes. It is responsible for male sexual development during puberty, as well as muscle growth and strength. Testosterone production naturally decreases with age. Beginning at around the age of 25 and sometimes decreasing as much as 10% per decade.

    Testosterone is the supreme pilot of male sexuality. It’s produced in the testicles, and without it, a boy can’t reach his sexual maturity (his voice won’t deepen, and he won’t grow facial or body hair). Women, too, have a natural supply of testosterone, but in much smaller quantities. On average, men have about ten times more testosterone than women (the female body makes small amounts of it in the ovaries and adrenals), but levels do vary. Male blood-testosterone levels range from 300 to 1,200 nanograms per deciliter, while the female equivalent ranges from 15 to 100. As women, our battle with the effects of low testosterone doesn’t typically begin until after menopause, when our bodies’ natural hormone supplies diminish. However, two surgical procedures - the bilateral oophorectomy (removal of both ovaries and adrenals) and the hysterectomy (removal of the uterus) - will trigger early menopause in women of any age.

    One of the effects of low testosterone is a decrease in sexual desire or libido. Noticing this, a man may try aphrodisiacs or think that he is no longer attracted to his partner. Depending on the age of the man, a decrease in testosterone production may be the actual problem.

    Effects of low testosterone on men’s bodies

    What is testosterone?
    Testosterone is a hormone responsible for normal growth and development of the male sex and reproduction organs, including the penis, the testicles, scrotum, the prostate and seminal vesicles. Testosterone promotes the development of the secondary male sex characteristics such as bone mass, fat distribution, muscle, hair patterns and voice modulation (a deep voice). It also maintains energy levels, sexual desire, fertility and mood.

    Testosterone production increases dramatically with onset of puberty. As we get older testosterone production declines. About 50 million men in the United States will be experiencing some sort of hormone deficiency, 600,000 will be receiving treatment. Testosterone can cause male pattern baldness

    Testosterone, alcohol and your liver
    Healthy normal men, consuming reasonable amounts of alcoholic drink, experience a 20% drop in their serum levels of testosterone.

    In chronic alcoholics with extensive liver damage those levels can be reduced by as much as 50% and they can become feminized (loose facial and pubic hair, become impotent, and fat deposits behind the nipples will give the appearance of breasts).

    Testosterone and disease
    Testosterone deficiency may be a result of diseases such as Klienfelters syndrome, Anorchia (vanishing testes syndrome) or damage from surgery, chemotherapy, anabolic steroid use or radiation, to the hypothalamus or pituitary gland (in the brain), or testicles. The result is that production and release of testosterone is inhibited.

    Erectile dysfunction and testosterone
    Erectile dysfunction can be a result of insufficient testosterone.
    Underdevelopment of the penis and testes at puberty can also be a sign testosterone deficiency.

    A low testosterone level can be corrected. There is a school of thought today that says that our hormones do not decrease because we age, but that we age because our hormones decrease.

    FACT:Muscular men have more sex partners than their less-chiseled peers.  They attract females looking for a virile mate, women are predisposed to prefer muscularity in men

    Over 1/2 of testosterone is produced from DHEA.

    • Dr. William Regelson, University of Virginia School of Medicine, reports that DHEA is "one of the best biochemical bio-markers for chronologic age."

    • The most abundant hormone in a 25 year old mans body is DHEA!

    • "Over the counter DHEA has had a major positive effect this 60 YO author.  DHEA had a positive effect on several areas of my life.  Sleep, Exercise Tolerance + an enhanced outlook on life!"

    "According to 1999 studies by Pennsylvania State University researchers, men with higher levels of testosterone may be less vulnerable to high blood pressure, heart attacks, frequent colds, obesity and depression."

    As well as producing sperm the testicles also act as endocrine glands and produce the male sex hormone testosterone.

    Testosterone appears in the circulation at puberty and brings about the development of beard growth, male hair distribution, deepening of the voice and muscular growth.

    Testosterone is produced constantly for the rest of a man’s life. Levels may fall later on in life.

    Medical Prescription Testosterone is often referred to as Hormone Replacement Therapy or HRT

    • Testosterone is the most important hormone in the male body for energy, libido, muscle size and strength.

    • In addition Testosterone is involved in heart function / cardiac output, neurological function, red blood cell production, bone density, and immune system function.

      • Testosterone improves oxygen uptake throughout the body, helps control blood sugar, and helps regulate cholesterol.

      • There are testosterone receptors throughout the body including the heart & brain.

    Low levels of testosterone increase death rate for men over 50.  University of California, San Diego School of Medicine.  A study of 800 men over 50 found that those with low levels had a 33% increased risk of death over an 18-year period than those with higher levels.

    • As with Estrogen and HGH there are expected declines in testosterone levels as we age. 

      • In men over 40 lower testosterone levels effect physical, sexual, and cognitive function. 

      • A man 40 years old has less than 1/2 the testosterone a man of 25 has.

    Question of the day:What’s the best way to take off holiday weight gain?

    March 20th, 2008

    holiday weight gain

    It’s a fact that on average, people gain about 10 pounds or more over the holidays.10 pounds!! This eating period is from thanksgiving to New Year’s. It’s no wonder that weight loss is #1 on everyone’s New Year’s resolution list. The five best things you can do to lose the extra weight and get your body back are as follows:

    1. Never skip breakfast! Good old fashioned breakfast will help boost your metabolism throughout the day and keep your blood-sugar levels from spiking, preventing you from becoming a ravenous pig and making bad food choices at lunch. A great breakfast choice would include a combination of protein and fiber.

    The "ultimate" weight control breakfast could be something like this:

    • 1 whole egg and 3 egg whites
    • 2 slices of whole wheat bread

    TOTAL CALORIES: Approximately 220 calories

    The egg whites and whole wheat bread will help make you feel full on the least amount of calories possible.

    2. Start muscle/weight training. It’s well known that muscle burns more calories than fat. The more muscular you are the more quicker your body will burn fat. This can even help eliminate a pot belly. Try to aim for at least 10 reps on each exercise. So what’s the best weight to lift? I would recommend using the most weight you can comfortable handle for 10 reps. With a little practise you should be able to determine what is a comfortable lifting weight. After you get used to that, advance to a higher weight class.

    3. Increase your daily fiber intake. Try eliminating refined,white-flour products for whole wheat versions which are high in fiber. Whole wheat choices can easily include breads and cereals. Also try other foods such as fruits, veggies and beans. These food choices will add volume to your meals without adding much extra calories.

    4.Try interval training three times a week for 20 mins. Yes, it’s a whole lot easier than you might think and the benefits will help you lose that extra holiday weight much quicker than you’d thought. The best choice in machines can include the treadmill, stepper or my personal favorite for ease of motion, the crosstrainer. You can also do just regular running or jump-rope in the comfort and privacy of your own space. So how does it work?(step1) Start off with a regular 5 minute warm-up, (step 2) then do work as hard as you can for one or two minutes,(step 3) then reduce the intensity for two minutes. Repeat steps 2 and 3 until your 20 minutes are done. That’s it!

    5. Join an effective, popular weightloss/weight management program. This step can really help you stay focused on your weightloss goals and sticking to them. I highly recommend Fatloss4idiots. It’s the #1 online program for a reason-It works!



    Why your not losing weight- 6 Common Gym Mistakes that prevent you from losing weight

    March 20th, 2008

    1. Excessive caloric intake during workouts. Too many people overuse energy drinks, sports bars and protein shakes during workouts which often defeats the very purpose of working out by adding extra unneccesary calories.Instead, limit yourself to 250 calories for an average 30 minute workout. Any further caloric intake and your just adding weight gain instead of weightloss.

    2. Not using the incline. When you set an incline on the treadmill you are increasing the activity and development of the leg muscles including the glutes and hamstrings making them stronger. This will help you burn more calories even after your workout and is a much more effective calorie burning workout vs. the standard non-inclined treadmill.

    3. Not varying your workouts. One of the biggest mistakes people make is simply doing the very same workout each and every time. After the initial period when it starts to work, your body gets used to that same routine and you burn fewer calories. To overcome this static calorie burn, change one factor of your workout such as duration of time, type of machine used or intensity of the workout itself.Just mix and match the workout itself everyday so that way your body won’t get used to the same routine.

    4. Using the handlebars for stability. By holding onto the handlebars you are taking more body weight off your legs which will ultimately burn less calories. Doing cardio without handlebar assistance gives you a better core workout altogether. If you must hold onto the handlebars somehow, simply put your fingers on very lightly for "imagined" support while standing up straight and not slouched.

    5.Simple distractions. If your watching television or reading a magazine during your workout, you are simply not fully utilizing the calorie burning power of the workout itself. Instead just put on the Ipod and jam out to your favorite tunes, go in "the zone" as I like to call it and get pumped!

    6. Not doing interval training. If your simply doing the same boring, static rythm during your treadmill or crosstrainer routine, your not getting the most calorie burning effects from your workout. Instead, try interval training. For instance, start with a 5 minute warmup then work as hard as you can for about one minute or so, then reducing the intensity to two minutes. Alternate back and forth for as much rounds as you can and make sure you increase the number of intervals on each workout. Interval training is a proven method for burning more calories in a shorter time-frame.

    Is It Worth Investing In A Bowflex Home Gym Unit?

    March 11th, 2008

    As the world gets increasingly busier, it’s hard for us as hard working individuals to find time to head to the gym to workout. When you factor in the congestion of traffic at peak hours and the ever increasing cost of gas,or simply the aggravation of going to and from the gym(in addition to the work route),the thought of a high quality home gym such as a Bowflex Home Gym suddenly becomes very appealing.

    Here comes the popularity of the various Bowflex models. But is Bowflex worth the investment? I’ve owned and used a Bowflex now for well over 4 years (with no problems at all) and I’ve tried other models from the company as well. The Bowflex might be more expensive than other home gyms, but one thing that stands out from the makers is the long track record of high quality units.

    You can be guaranteed that if you buy a Bowflex that you’ll probably getting a better, more durable piece of equipment than something you pick at at your local department stores that happens to be on special or have that ultra special"Made in China" durability label on it. Bare in mind though, that the best home gym in the world isn’t worth the money if your not going to use it and get mileage out of it.

    The important question you need to ask yourself is whether or not you’ll actually put this equipment to good use. Will you actually use it, or will it become an extra piece of corner clutter in your home or stuck down in the basement catching dust?

    As with anything that is of high quality such as a Bowflex, it is only worth the money if you will make great use of it. You can’t put a price on health so I would say yes, a Bowflex Home Gym Unit is definitely worth the investment and am more than sure that any Bowflex owner, that puts it to good use will agree-100% of the time.
