3 Lateral Exercises to Burn Butt and Hip Fat

<b>Burn more butt, hip and thigh fat with these 3 exercises: lateral tube walk, lateral cone hops and medicine ball lateral lunges.</b><br /><br /><b>These exercises will give you much <a href="http://myfitnesshut.blogspot.com/p/bodyweight-500-metabolic-fat-burner.html#.UeTaltLqmuI">better fat loss and toning results</a> than the seated hip abductor and seated hip adductor machines in your local health club.</b> Honestly, I wish they would take those machines out of the club.....Anyway, here they are...<br /><br /><b>1. Lateral Tube Walk -</b> A strength exercise that tones your lower body. It also looks like an easy exercise to perform. Don't be fooled by appearances. <strong>When done correctly, the lateral tube walk will challenge your strength (especially in the frontal plane), endurance and balance.</strong><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAq_L6aDtMOah6Mm5HGAIzLXr_-fDhHU1IOkvMP8htA9WN_2qnII7yqRsZw4b11HPLlYS7qxVtpq0Wy8Pram1qGHGlC_e4_Y6zEMhIHo5XpVoQ08G8R8MGeNKFZDMbLRJGna7a1o4aLar9/s1600/Lateral+tube+walk.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5472767997975264098" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAq_L6aDtMOah6Mm5HGAIzLXr_-fDhHU1IOkvMP8htA9WN_2qnII7yqRsZw4b11HPLlYS7qxVtpq0Wy8Pram1qGHGlC_e4_Y6zEMhIHo5XpVoQ08G8R8MGeNKFZDMbLRJGna7a1o4aLar9/s400/Lateral+tube+walk.jpg" style="cursor: hand; cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 270px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 400px;" /></a><br /><br /><strong>The frontal plane is an imaginary bisector that divides the body into equal front and back halves. The motions primarily involve abduction and adduction (side-to-side motions).</strong> <br /><br />Abduction takes your limb away from the midline of your body and adduction takes your limb closer to the midline of your body. <br /><br /><strong>The lateral tube walk will <a href="http://myfitnesshut.blogspot.com/2013/04/7-top-body-shaping-tips.html#.UcwmsjvqmuI">strengthen and shape</a> your butt, hips, core, adductors (inner thighs) and outer thighs.</strong><br /><br />Do the exercise this way:<br /><br />a. Attach the resistance band just above each ankle. Place your feet shoulder-width apart with your knees slightly bent and your back straight.<br /><br />b. Maintaining good posture, step your right foot out to the side about 2 shoulder-widths apart. Then, step your left foot inward until your feet are again shoulder-width apart. <strong>Your knees should remain aligned over your feet during the exercise. It is important to not let your knees "cave in" or spread outside your feet. Also, keep your glutes contracted during the exercise.</strong> <br /><br />c. Do 10-15 steps in the same direction and repeat in opposite direction. That is one set. Do 2-3 sets. <br /><br />If you've never done the lateral tube walk, try it during your next workout. It is an exercise you should do on a regular basis.<br /><br /><b>2. Lateral Cone Hops -</b> Do this exercise to burn leg fat and improve your strength and power in the frontal plane of motion. Hops and jumps are very intense exercises that activate that bulkier, shapely fast twitch muscles fibers in your butt, hips and thighs.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxBWyiZi5X8GxEzKKuxYkyRvU7S_5QlYH_jAJ4duwCY82axjsNJK6UgCZvF2R9N7X4zcbUWQo0iJC0YOI-1qOXAJbAhCD1LxNcZ8dT4WKpeQ5Rb2pfris51VDvHHtyR4FV-tzlAMiHLO4/s1600/Lateral+cone+jumps.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5472829120992646690" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxBWyiZi5X8GxEzKKuxYkyRvU7S_5QlYH_jAJ4duwCY82axjsNJK6UgCZvF2R9N7X4zcbUWQo0iJC0YOI-1qOXAJbAhCD1LxNcZ8dT4WKpeQ5Rb2pfris51VDvHHtyR4FV-tzlAMiHLO4/s400/Lateral+cone+jumps.jpg" style="cursor: hand; cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 400px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 270px;" /></a><br /><br />Lateral cone hops are done as fast as possible. Also, your feet should remain on the ground as little as possible as you do the hops. <strong>Focus on hopping (not jumping) from side to side (on the balls of your feet) with very little vertical height. You are working to improve lateral strength and power with this exercise and not vertical power.</strong> Do 8-10 repetitions per set. <br /><br />As you progress, you can begin to do single leg lateral cone hops. <br /><br /><b>3. Medicine Ball Lateral Lunge -</b> This exercise will help you tone your hips, glutes and thighs faster. The lateral lunge will improve your overall lower body strength, especially in the frontal plane of motion. <br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioDQ8_ji2uKYb4OtSac3BQ8Ts8yPZ-1Crkh7ApOkxhVQl8GFNp-u8uKvv5hJjaUYCh6BNx2e4ACZ2w4g4nNRByq19b1RIvQgfz6XmQuFpMZsPhKRM9u-K6NFNuFYfOubRcOMrjOI_JxwoB/s1600/Side+squat+start.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5473443426417058258" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioDQ8_ji2uKYb4OtSac3BQ8Ts8yPZ-1Crkh7ApOkxhVQl8GFNp-u8uKvv5hJjaUYCh6BNx2e4ACZ2w4g4nNRByq19b1RIvQgfz6XmQuFpMZsPhKRM9u-K6NFNuFYfOubRcOMrjOI_JxwoB/s400/Side+squat+start.jpg" style="cursor: hand; cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 400px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 270px;" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDdeRK6a8IOyIaBOhdznKvbvDFFUAN6VsZlvD-8BqoAkQy6AQW5Uy_Ahi4mpxhaLSMkPYcLQQwh4KeGz0OS_YXdkhjLTKMiEiJkXcJC_QwI4QoMhwN5OMOimho5phhWFm2x6heaW6DiMQc/s1600/Side+squat+finish.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5473443624461463202" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDdeRK6a8IOyIaBOhdznKvbvDFFUAN6VsZlvD-8BqoAkQy6AQW5Uy_Ahi4mpxhaLSMkPYcLQQwh4KeGz0OS_YXdkhjLTKMiEiJkXcJC_QwI4QoMhwN5OMOimho5phhWFm2x6heaW6DiMQc/s400/Side+squat+finish.jpg" style="cursor: hand; cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 270px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 400px;" /></a><br /><br />a.

Don't be discouraged or embarrassed if you're a little clumsy at first. Its worth putting in the practice. Keep your rope with you at all times---especially during the summer.<br /><br /><strong> Research confirms that exercising at a fast or explosive pace (short bursts) will shape and sculpt your body better because these types of exercises activate your bulkier, shapely fast twitch muscle fibers as found in the butt, hips and thighs.</strong><br /><br /><b>Here are 4 easy, effective ways to use the jump rope in your workouts:</b><br /><br /><b>Note:</b> Use your hands and wrists to propel the rope and not your arms. Your feet should remain on the ground as little as possible as you jump on the balls of your feet and not on your toes. Focus on jumping with very little vertical height. <br /><br /><strong>1. Do jump rope intervals for your cardio workout.</strong> A good 20-minute routine would be to jump rope for 1 minute and walk for 2 minutes. Do this rotation for 20 minutes. Try to jump as fast as you can.<br /><br /><strong>2. Jump rope for 10 minutes before your strength trainng workout.</strong> This technique will really get your heart rate up.<br /><br /><strong>3. Jump rope for 30-45 seconds between each strength training set.</strong> These <a href="http://myfitnesshut.blogspot.com/2009/03/lower-body-cardio-blasts.html">lower body cardio blasts</a> will really get your heart rate up.<br /><br /><b>4. Jump rope for 10 minutes after your strength training workout.</b> If you have had a really tough workout, you can burn fat for fuel because you have used your glycogen stores (from carbohydrates) during your strength training workout.<br /><br />All of these jump rope exercises will help you burn more calories and fat before and after your workout.<br /><br />As you improve your technique, try jumping with one foot at a time, back pedal jumps, slalom jumps, front-to-back jumps, etc. <br /><br />Jumping rope will also help improve your balance, coordination and overall body tone.<br /><br />So, start jumping already!<br /><br />Be sure and download your <b><a href="http://myfitnesshut.blogspot.com/p/bodyweight-500-metabolic-fat-burner.html#.UeTaltLqmuI">Free Bodyweight 500 Metabolic Fat Burner Workouts</a></b> and start shaping your body faster!<br /><br /><div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;"><b>Mark Dilworth, BA, PES</b></div><div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;"><b><a data-mce-href="http://myfitnesshut.blogspot.com/" href="http://myfitnesshut.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">My Fitness Hut</a></b></div>

Why Fast-Paced Workouts Burn More Fat

<b>Improve your fat burning by speeding up the pace of your workouts. This will also shorten your workouts because of the intensity and shape your body faster.</b> If you need to ramp up the intensity and break through your weight loss plateau, use faster paced exercises and workouts. <br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqLTkJdVzBuQDwHACj1rf_IwJjdYiiEznuzbbzN-mYXe25zbSd4TcrX-K0CAInmaaFFoCfFcOG588v9BWfw6KkRHVj4ozeZRxzgLONnEUdnJDRWaj5Bi-bdUW5BE9e2CjYDJiAqaCX3eO6/s1600/MB+chest+pass.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqLTkJdVzBuQDwHACj1rf_IwJjdYiiEznuzbbzN-mYXe25zbSd4TcrX-K0CAInmaaFFoCfFcOG588v9BWfw6KkRHVj4ozeZRxzgLONnEUdnJDRWaj5Bi-bdUW5BE9e2CjYDJiAqaCX3eO6/s400/MB+chest+pass.JPG" /></a></div><br /><b>Doing these types of short burst workouts will change your hormones allowing your body to naturally regulate fat burning, appetite and moods.</b> To get your muscles to improve power (how fast your muscles can produce force), do some or all of the exercises full speed. You will shape your bulkier, fast twitch muscle fibers when doing exercises at full speed. <br /><br />Research at Duke University, directed by Dr. Cris Slentz, supports high-intensity exercise for better fat loss. The eight-month study showed that people could lose weight with exercise and no dieting. Those who exercised intensely (especially using interval training) lost much more fat than those who exercised moderately. <br /><br />According to the research, the high-intensity exercisers had these advantages over the low-to-moderate intensity exercisers: more release of fat from cells, more fat used as fuel during exercise and increased metabolic rate after exercise <br /><br />Keeping your heart rate elevated (or up and down like with intervals) during a workout will burn more calories and fat during and after your workout. Your metabolism can stay elevated for up to 48 hours after a tough, fast-paced workout. <br /><br /><b>Speed up the pace of your workouts and start burning more fat with these 7 tips:</b><br /><br /><b>1. Take less rest time between exercises.</b> Thirty seconds between exercises or very little rest between exercises work well in a circuit-style strength workout.<br /><br /><b>2. Do superset workouts with strength exercises.</b> Superset strength training burns fat better than traditional strength training. When you pair two non-competing exercises, it allows you to do more work because one or more muscle groups can rest while you work other or opposing muscle groups. <br /><br />For example, you could do a set of squats followed immediately by a set of standing shoulder presses. Rest 60 seconds and go to the next superset (such as bench press followed immediately by bentover dumbbell rows). <br /><br /><b>3. Do more full speed exercises. <a href="http://myfitnesshut.blogspot.com/p/dumbbell-and-medicine-ball-metabolic_17.html#.UeY_3tLqmuI">Medicine ball exercises</a> such as slams, throws and chops can be done full speed with a medicine ball weighing about 10% of your body weight.</b><br /><br /><b>4. Do short workouts, such as <a href="http://myfitnesshut.blogspot.com/p/10-minute-fat-lo.html#.Ueo049LqmuI">10-minute workouts</a> to ramp up the intensity.</b><br /><br /><b>5. Do bodyweight cardio workouts to get strength and cardio benefits in one workout.</b> This type of workout is typically 20-30 minutes. You could choose 3 or 4 bodyweight exercises and do a short 20-minute circuit workout. Full body exercises like squats work best to work major muscle groups and burn more fat.<br /><br /><b>6. Include more jumping exercises in your workouts.</b> Jumps are inherently intense and the faster the better.<br /><br /><b>7. Do sprint intervals or <a href="http://myfitnesshut.blogspot.com/2012/07/gassers-top-cardio-fat-burner.html#.UcktNDvqmuI">gassers</a> for cardio exercise.</b> Twenty minutes of cardio exercise will burn fat and save your precious muscle mass. It also prevents the boredom that can happen with long, slow-paced cardio sessions.<br /><br />Quicken the pace of your workouts and get faster results.<br /><br /><b>Download your <a href="http://myfitnesshut.blogspot.com/p/10-minute-fat-lo.html#.Ueo049LqmuI">FREE 10-Minute Fat Burning Workouts</a> now</b> and take them on the road with you.

How to Shape Up for Rec Sports Teams

<strong>If you're on a rec sports team, you need to shape up to prevent injuries and win those games for bragging rights. If you just show up for your games without preparation, you will blow out a hamstring or pull a quad muscle (or worse injury). Oh, you already blew out a hammie!? Get in better shape to play......</strong> <br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-Nn5TWdAhqAqixMiQoqdxIHnId0jOEJPv9rU2WbguyFFPgudoftggGv64TBoVJQ_KxLk8CuGlRUIgNetd-U_saDGUFyE_VxWK8E8pS4O4wkHvXMxIOWMIx2vl3DOmtDi3yRBX6_0x7LWq/s1600/camp+boys.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-Nn5TWdAhqAqixMiQoqdxIHnId0jOEJPv9rU2WbguyFFPgudoftggGv64TBoVJQ_KxLk8CuGlRUIgNetd-U_saDGUFyE_VxWK8E8pS4O4wkHvXMxIOWMIx2vl3DOmtDi3yRBX6_0x7LWq/s320/camp+boys.JPG" /></a></div><br /><b>The easiest way to start getting in shape is to use <a href="http://myfitnesshut.blogspot.com/p/bodyweight-500-metabolic-fat-burner.html#.UeTaltLqmuI">bodyweight strength and bodyweight cardio workouts</a>.</b><br /><br />Begin your training by getting your body in general condition to play your sport. Full body bodyweight strength training (3 days a week) and interval cardio (2-3 days a week) sessions will get your body ready for more intense training to follow. Do this training for 2-3 weeks. <br /><br /><strong>Athletic bodyweight workouts will <a href="http://myfitnesshut.blogspot.com/2013/05/increase-adrenaline-and-burn-fat-with-shuttle-runs.html#.UciYqzvqmuI">burn fat from your body</a> like never before...just try a workout and see for yourself.</strong> These workouts will sculpt your body without your joints taking a pounding from lifting heavy weights.<br /><br />To get your muscles to improve power (how fast your muscles can produce force), do some or all of the exercises full speed. Also, you will really burn fat and shape your bulkier, fast twitch muscle fibers when doing exercises at full speed.<br /><br /><b>Here is a good athletic bodyweight workout. Do each exercise (10 repetitions) one after the other with 30 seconds rest between exercises. Rest 2-3 minutes between circuits. Do the circuit 2 more times.</b> <br /><br />--Bodyweight squats, moderate pace<br />--Medicine ball soccer throw, full speed<br />--<a href="http://myfitnesshut.blogspot.com/2010/01/bodyweight-exercise-series-pushups.html">Pushups</a>, full speed<br />--Medicine ball walking lunges with upper body rotation, controlled<br />--2-Handed medicine ball chest pass, full speed<br />--<a href="http://myfitnesshut.blogspot.com/2010/01/bodyweight-exercise-series-squat-jumps.html">Squat jumps</a>, full speed <br />--<a href="http://myfitnesshut.blogspot.com/2010/01/bodyweight-exercise-series-back.html">Back extensions</a>, moderate pace<br /><br /><strong>Use correct form and get after it! </strong> <br /><br />Do your strength workouts between practices with your rec team. Your practices with teams like soccer, basketball or flag football will be adequate interval cardio exercise. If you play a sport like softball, interval cardio and bodyweight cardio would be helpful to get you in better shape.<br /><br />You could also progress to plyometric exercises specific to your sport. Cone hops, lateral speed shuffles, bounding, speed ladder drills and medicine ball exercises are some examples. Choose exercises that mimic the movements in your sport (transfer-of-training-effect). Plyometric exercises help you to increase power. Traditional barbell and dumbbell strength exercises do not allow you to move at the speeds necessary to improve power. Strength training gives you muscular and nervous system development needed to develop optimal power. <br /><br /><strong>Advanced sports power training supersets a strength exercise with a biomechanically similar power exercise.</strong> An example would be barbell squats and repeating full-speed squat jumps. The squat jumps would be performed immediately following the barbell squats to get maximum neuromuscular adaptations. <br /><br />You would do a set of squats at 85% of 1 Rep Maximum (5 reps) followed immediately by a set of full-speed repeating squat jumps (8-10 reps). <strong>This is an advanced training method and should not be performed by those who do not have adequate stabilization strength and muscular strength.</strong> Other plyometric exercises can also be superset this way. <br /><br /><strong>Surprise your friends with improved power and explosion during your games! And, do so without getting injured!</strong><br /><br />Be sure and download your <b><a href="http://myfitnesshut.blogspot.com/p/bodyweight-500-metabolic-fat-burner.html#.UeTaltLqmuI">Free Bodyweight 500 Metabolic Fat Burner Workouts</a></b> and start shaping your body faster!<br /><br /><div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;"><b>Mark Dilworth, BA, PES</b></div><div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;"><b><a data-mce-href="http://myfitnesshut.blogspot.com/" href="http://myfitnesshut.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">My Fitness Hut</a></b><br /><br /><br /></div>

Antoine the regime is based on the principle of eating only one food family not to gain weight, regardless of the amount consumed.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">Antoine then the regime is to consume one family of food per day for a week. Meat is consumed e.g. Monday, Tuesday, fruits, starchy Wednesday, vegetables, Thursday, fish on Friday, Saturday, dairy, eggs on Sunday (but it is quite possible to make a menu mixed on the seventh day, so adopt a normal diet).<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">The energy balance is then seven days instead of one.

You have to keep yourself motivated to <a href="http://myfitnesshut.blogspot.com/p/bodyweight-500-metabolic-fat-burner.html#.UeTaltLqmuI">exercise week in and week out.</a></b> Serious exercisers will usually workout at least 5 out of 7 days in a week. If you don't keep it fun and fresh, you will eventually quit exercising altogether. Its hard to keep doing something you don't like, especially when the activity is voluntary.<br /><br /><strong>When I train people, it takes tons of energy out of me.</strong> Guess what? I still exercise on most days and some of those days "I don't feel like exercising."<br /><br />I can't tell you how to "get it done." With practice, you will figure it out for yourself.......<br /><br /><b>Here are 7 tips that I use to keep the exercise fun and fresh:</b><br /><br /><strong>1. I know when I need to change up my routine.</strong> On some days, I will split my workouts into 2 separate workouts, such as weight training during the day and interval cardio later on.<br /><br />2. Sometimes, I just need a day off (even on a scheduled workout day). Don't forget, recovery from exercise is just as important as the exercise itself.<br /><br /><strong>3. When I'm really dragging, exercising outdoors always does the trick.</strong> Actually, my first preference is to exercise outside. And, the hotter the weather, the better for me. I love to feel drenched in sweat.<br /><br /><strong>4. Doing something totally different often works for me</strong>---such as playing soccer or flag football (by the way, these are 2 of the best interval cardio workouts).<br /><br /><strong>5. Hanging out at the gym works.</strong> It helps to see other people "getting after it." Don't try to do your program all by yourself. Research proves that you will have a better chance to succeed with fat loss and weight loss if you have others holding you accountable.<br /><br /><strong>6. Exercising in a totally different place works for me sometimes</strong>---such as running on the trails at the lake or hiking in the hill country in and around Austin.<br /><br /><b>7. Sometimes, its just will and determination that keeps me exercising. Its really important to me to stay fit and toned and not just because I'm a trainer. Its personal. I want it for myself and I want it bad. I'm not going to let all the hard work and fun go to waste by quitting!</b><br /><br /><strong>You get the idea.....try different things</strong>....when you make the lifetime commitment to fitness, that's a long time!

Banana diet, eat bananas to lose weight fast?

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-4Yl0CwVx7Ro/UauphVddsMI/AAAAAAAAA1A/pa2Fek7V4YM/s1600/Banana+diet.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-4Yl0CwVx7Ro/UauphVddsMI/AAAAAAAAA1A/pa2Fek7V4YM/s1600/Banana+diet.jpg" /></a></div><br />Make a banana diet by eating lots of fruit this is a way to lose weight started in Japan and is now happening in the United States.<br /><br />This is called "the banana regime." And it is that simple, eat bananas in the morning (for breakfast) and lose weight. This scheme is highly fashionable in Japan, where it has become extremely difficult to find bananas in supermarkets and small local grocery stores (despite increases of imports of bananas up to 40% in some supermarkets) precisely because of heavy buying bananas for the purposes of this scheme.<br /><br />If there was a magic pill or diet to lose weight fast, it is not (although tesofensine, the new drug discovered, which can lose weight two times faster than Reductil should be talked about in the next time), but that 'is it just a "magic fruit" (according to proponents of the system) as the banana.<br /><br />It may be tempting to try if you do not eat bananas for a long time.<br /><br />Everyone says New York, perhaps because everyone tells them precisely that "just eat some bananas and lose weight," but is what is likely?<br /><br />The plan seems simple. Eat fresh bananas (raw, uncooked and unfrozen) for breakfast or early in the morning by drinking water at room temperature (the temperature of the room in which it is located). You can eat a banana (4 may be reasonable according to the inventor of the system, Ms. Sumiko Watanabe, a pharmacist in Osaka, Japan), but without going to the point where you have a stomach ache (due to stomach overfilled). You have to eat bananas to be chewing long aware of his tastes.<br /><br />If you're still hungry 15 or 30 minutes after you finish eating bananas at breakfast, you can eat other foods (such as oatmeal or whole grain).<br /><br />Then you can eat what you want for lunch and dinner (stopping eating when you are satisfied). It should not, however, make desserts or snacks, do not eat either after 8pm (ideally around 6 pm according to the inventor of the banana regime).<br /><br />You can drink only water during this diet (mineral water or filtered water). You should not drink hot or cold water, but only that at room temperature. You must drink sipping, not gulps. Other beverages such as tea, coffee or soda low calorie is allowed but not recommended for the banana regime. Exceptionally, you can drink beer or wine.<br /><br />Then you have to go to bed before midnight. And the most surprising as followers of this banana diet is that it is not necessary to exercise to lose weight fast outside what has been said previously.<br /><br />The person who invented the banana regime, Ms. Sumiko Watanabe (pharmacist in Osaka, Japan), had designed in hopes of stimulating the metabolism of her husband Hitoshi Watanabe gentleman (who was overweight before following this diet). After completing the plan, Mr. Hitoshi Watanabe has lost more than 16 pounds. He introduced his wife plan on mixi (one of the largest social networks in Japan). His wife has since written a book, "Plan for the morning banana" which has sold more than 800,000 copies.<br /><br />The banana regime has been even more excitement after the broadcast by one of the biggest TV shows in Japan a report showing a famous singer who successfully lose weight 8 pounds in just 6 weeks following this diet. The days that followed the broadcast, sales of bananas off 80% compared to the same period last year. Despite higher prices for bananas 20%, demand was also strong for this fruit.<br /><br />Is the banana diet work?<br /><br />"You can not say that bananas are magical, but they provide good nutrients to add to your diet especially with a view to lose weight," says Lisa Drayer, author of the book "The beauty regime."<br /><br />Lisa Drayer said that the banana regime might work at first because bananas are rich in fiber and vitamins, low in calories (100 calories per 100 grams of banana). Bananas are also good alternatives to sugary cereal or cream cheese for breakfast.<br /><br />So finally the banana regime is not as magical as this. Japan is also known for launching many fad diets, which are remained popular for a short time. For example, in the 1990s, the country had launched the apple diet, cocoa diet, diet with peppers. In the early 2000s, Japan had launched the black vinegar diet, the diet of carrot juice, soy milk diet, the diet of yeast beer, etc..<br /><br />Moreover, experts still believe that there is no substitute for a healthy low calorie diet (about 1400 calories per day for women and about 1800 calories per day for a man, for example) accompanied by regular physical exercise.</div>

Your product is 100% organic.</b><br /><br />a. It must be 100% organic, not including water or salt. <br /><br />b. The certifying agent must be listed on the product. The "USDA organic" seal can also be used if the agency works with the USDA. <br /><br />c. An ingredient list must show on the product, if it is more than one ingredient. <br /><br /><b>2. What if the product claims to be "organic?"</b><br /><br />a. It must have at least 95% organic ingredients, not including water and salt.<br /><br />b. The product cannot contain sulfites.<br /><br />c. Up to 5% of the product can be nonorganic.<br /><br />d. The certifying agent must be listed. The "USDA organic" seal can also be used if the agency works with the USDA.<br /><br /><b>3. The product says, "made with organic ingredients." What does that mean?</b><br /><br />a. The product must be at least 70% organic.<br /><br />b. It cannot contain sulfites.<br /><br />c. Up to 30% of the product can be nonorganic.<br /><br />d. The label must list the organic ingredients as "organic" when other organic labeling is shown.<br /><br />e. It must list the certifying agent but cannot use the "USDA organic" seal.<br /><br /><b>4. What if the product claims to have some organic ingredients?<b></b></b><br /><br />a. The product can contain less than 70% organic ingredients.<br /><br />b.

The label cannot have the "USDA organic" seal, the certifying agency or any other reference to organic contents.<br /><br /><b>My take:</b> Buy 100% organic when you can. If you are buying nonorganic or partially organic food products, make sure you wash the product as necessary. <br /><br /><b>For example "The Dirty Dozen" are known to be sprayed with high pesticides.

All the major muscle groups are worked and its very intense. <br /><br />Just burn body fat (lose inches, shrink your body). Check your body fat percentage once a week to see if you need to make adjustments. <br /><br /><b>Quality of movement in doing your strength exercises should come before trying to increase the amount of weight you lift in those exercises. Doing this will avoid injuries due to incorrect execution of an exercise.</b> <br /><br />Performing a weight (or resistance) exercise incorrectly can cause pain in your joints, back or other unintended areas. For example, the squat or lunge should primarily work and strengthen the glutes,quadriceps and hamstrings. If you feel unusual pain or stress in your back or knees, this could signal injury or incorrect performance of the exercise. <br /><br /><b>What about the core work you ask?</b> Your core will be challenged big time with this workout. Be sure to keep your torso braced (as if getting ready to take a punch) when you do repetitions.<br /><br />Full body workouts will always strengthen your core and other "weak links" while training the other parts of your body.<br /><br /><b>The pullup is not just a back muscle exercise. Pullups work your lats (and other back muscles), core, shoulders, arms, chest, biceps and improve grip strength.</b><br /><br /><b>Standing dumbbell shoulder presses are absolutely a great core exercise. You will feel the pressure on your torso.</b> Just make sure to stand upright as you do the repetitions. If you can't stand upright, the dumbbells are too heavy.<br /><br />If you're trying to build up back muscles and burn back fat, bentover dumbbells rows should be in your routine. <br /><br />Bentover dumbbell rows allow you to work your lats using heavier weights. Your lower back will be worked more if you row with both arms at the same time. You will also work your obliques in the process.<br /><br /><b>What about cardio?</b> This type of workout will double as a strength and cardio workout so you maximize your time. Its okay if you want to do a short 10-minute interval cardio session. <br /><br /><b>The main point? Do your workouts hard. Don't get too caught up in what to do. There are tons of exercises to choose from that will help you work every muscle group during a workout. Get busy working hard and smart!</b><br /><br /><b>Download your <a href="http://myfitnesshut.blogspot.com/p/10-minute-fat-lo.html#.Ueo049LqmuI">FREE 10-Minute Fat Burning Workouts</a> now</b> and take them on the road with you.
