Exercise & Fitness

Exercising regularly, every day if possible, is the single most important thing you can do for your health. In the short term, exercise helps to control appetite, boost mood, and improve sleep. In the long term, it reduces the risk of heart disease, stroke, diabetes, dementia, depression, and many cancers. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommend the following:

For adults of all ages

At least 150 minutes of moderate aerobic exercise like fast walking or 75 minutes of rigorous exercise like running (or an equivalent mix of both) every week. It’s fine to break up exercise into smaller sessions as long as each one lasts at least 10 minutes.
Strength-training that works all major muscle groups—legs, hips, back, abs, chest, shoulders, and arms—at least two days a week. Strength training may involve lifting weights, using resistance bands, or exercises like push-ups and sit-ups, in which your body weight furnishes the resistance.

For children

At least 60 minutes of physical activity a day, most of which should be devoted to aerobic exercise.

LEG WORKOUT.

Summer is many a bodybuilder's favorite time of year. The sunny skies and warm temperatures affords an easy opportunity for us to strut our stuff and expose that superhero physique we've been building all winter. Let's start with programming. There are many ways to set up the nuts & bolts of a training program. You can operate from a percentage of one-rep max, shoot for a specific rep total, and modulate the training frequency. However, one factor that rarely gets talked about – and one that's arguably as important as the choice of exercises – is exercise sequence. Setting up the exercises in the correct order will help you stay healthier, get stronger, and grow larger. Here's how your programming will look over the next four leg sessions: Frequency: How often you train legs will depend on how you feel. When your legs feel rested and ready to blast, go again, whether it's three days or six days later. Rest periods: Keep it simple. Just take as much...

BACK,BICEPS

In the previous blog, we talked about chest exercises. The exercise is done on the very first day of the week i.e. monday. We'll take a look at other types of excercises. Before sharing my biceps routine with you let me remind you that you will need 3 things i.e. discipline, dedication and desire to get big biceps and this applies to every other muscle group you train.
