Light Weight High Repetition Exercises To Define, Tone And Get Ripped Muscles?

Most people believe that exercising with light weights with
high repetition will tone and define your muscles to get that
rock hard ripped muscular body. Since so many fitness personal
trainers teach their clients that, so it must be true?

As summer approaches, many fitness enthusiasts will switch from
muscle building routine to doing light weight high reps routine
to cut away their body fat and to reveal their ripped muscular
body. After all, it is shirt off time for the beach and
poolside parties, isn’t it?

Well, I am about to bust this popular light weight high rep to
tone muscle myth. Did I hear you gasp? Good. This is because
the myth is so well entrenched and a lie being told too often
will generally be accepted as the truth.

To get toned and well defined muscles, you need to lose body
fat covering the muscles. Period. When you get rid of your body
fat, your muscles will show through. You will look sinewy and
muscular. Of course, that is provided that you have built
muscles below those fats.

Let me ask you, how could light weight high repetition
exercises build muscles or melt away fat? There is no logic in
this.

To build muscle mass, you have to do heavy weight low rep
compound exercises, exactly the opposite of light weight high
rep routine. To lose body fat, you have to do intensive
cardiovascular exercises and eating correctly.

There is no such thing as spot reduction short of invasive
medical procedures such as liposuction. That means no matter
how many crunches and side bends you do, the fat isn’t going to
come off your belly and neither will your love handles melt
away.

So if you want to reveal your well toned and defined
musculature, you have firstly to build bigger muscles and then
subsequently cut your body fat. Medium weight high repetition
compound giant set exercises may help you burn more calories if
the exercises keep your heart rate up and get you panting and
sweating throughout the entire exercise workout session.
However, this will already be a cardiovascular workout session
and not a weight lifting workout session.

So next time when some smart aleck advises you that to get a
well toned muscular body, you must workout with light weight
and with high repetition, just ask him to explain the logic
behind his statement and have a good laugh when you see him
fumbling for a logical answer.

Nutritional Supplements And False Claims, Perfect Together!

Nutritional Supplements And False Claims, Perfect Together!


New miracle breakthrough weight loss pill! Just sit back and
watch the fat melt right off of you. Eat anything you want, eat
as much as you want and still lose weight with this new,
scientifically proven fat burning formula.

Do you want the strength of a rhino? Would you like to have a
rock hard, chiseled set of ab's? How would you like to be the
owner of 32 inch biceps? All of this and more can be yours in
only 60 days with the help of our new, barely legal muscle
building formula!

If you had a dollar for every time you've heard advertisements
that sound like this, you would probably have a tidy little sum
in your bank account by now. Just read any fitness or health
magazine and you will notice that it seems as though half of
the entire publication is nothing but ad's for dozens of
nutritional supplements. If you ever paid any attention to
these ad's, you will notice that just about all of them make
some pretty outrageous claims as to what their products will
do.

Now, there are some good supplements out there that can help
give you a little extra boost in performance or supply some
decent nutritional value to help you out with weight loss, but
you have to know which ones to avoid so you can find your way
to the ones that are worth using. Here are some things to look
for that will tell you which ones to steer clear of.

The first obvious thing is, if the product claims to give you
amazing results that just sound too good to be true, you will
be disappointed with your purchase. While people want to
believe there are magical solutions to weight loss and improved
fitness, a good exercise regiment and proper diet is still the
main ingredient.

You also need to be aware of the so called "experts" who
endorse these products. What degree or certification do they
have? What is their degree or certification specializing in?
Did they get their degree or certification from a reputable
organization?

Often, these products will rely heavily on testimonials and
shaky evidence to convince you that their bogus claims are
real. Testimonials are usually unreliable because they are
often biased. Reputable experts such as scientists will report
the results of their studies in medical journals so others can
review and evaluate them. If there is no documentation in any
medical journals, don't believe their "experts" ramblings on
the product.

Another sure fire way to know that a product is not on the
level is to look for some key words. People tend to always
believe that all of these products on the market have been
inspected by the FDA to be safe and effective, but the fact is,
the FDA does not have much jurisdiction over most of these
products because of their claims that their product is "herbal"
or "natural". People often will believe that ad's in magazines,
on radio and especially on television are proof positive that
they work.

Avoid any products with the words "fat burner", "fat
metabolizer", "performance or strength booster", "energy
enhancer", "anabolic or genetic optimizer" or "ergogenic aid".
Not one of these types of products has ever been proven to be
effective or safe. Some have even been proven to be dangerous
like the somewhat recent deaths involving products like "phen
fen" and "redux".

The bottom line is this; every year new products are coming out
on the market. Most of these are backed by little or no real
research as to their effectiveness or side effects. As long as
they make no medical claims, they are not classified as a drug,
meaning the FDA does not evaluate them for effectiveness or
safety. If you do feel you want to use any supplements, choose
ones that make no lofty claims.

Look for products that only claim to boost calories or can be
used as occasional meal replacements like protein powders, or
claim to supplement nutrition like multi-vitamins. Don't let
yourself fall victim to false advertising schemes made by
companies only looking to help you find useless ways to spend
your hard earned money.
