Joining
A Gym
Why you should join a gym?
If you are fortunate to live
in a warm climate or you don't mind the cold weather, you could do all
your cardiovascular exercise outdoors and do your weight training
indoors
in your house. The only drawback with this approach is that you are
limited
to what you can do with respect to weight training. Gyms provide you
with
many more options when it comes to weight training and even
cardiovascular
exercise. There are all kinds of different and interesting fitness
classes
now available depending on your interests.
So the main benefit of joining
a gym is variety which allows you to achieve greater fitness benefits
whatever
your goals are. Other benefits of gym memberships are:
Motivation. The atmosphere
in a gym motivates you to work a little harder or put a little more
effort
into whatever you are doing.
Means of escape. It provides
you an escape from home and work.
Friendships. Many people
meet friends at a gym and some singles by chance, do even meet their
partners
at gyms.
As you can see there are
many benefits to joining a gym. Sure sometimes it's a hassle to go to
the
gym, but once it's part of your daily life, it's no different than
going
to work. The rewards you get are more than worth the effort. There are
also many gyms that are affordable so you don't have to spend
an
arm and a leg.

Green Tea
and Working Out
Do you need to increase your
energy levels during the day or increase your energy levels during your
workouts? You may want to start drinking caffeine-free green tea. I
started
drinking green tea last fall and my energy levels have increased during
my workouts and during the work day. The only days that I don't drink
green
tea is the day of my workout. I find that it tightens my muscles and
limits
my workout. I still don't understand why, but it may not be so for you.
So I've compensated for this little problem by only drinking green tea
the day prior to my workout and it seems to work fine for me. The most
I drink is two cups in a day, but usually one cup is enough for me.
So will green tea work for
you? Well I asked a friend to drink green tea and he has also noticed
increased
energy levels and lost a few pounds in the process. The reasons for
this
is that it boosts your metabolism and it also boosts, strengthens your
immune systm. It also has antioxidants.
Depending on what literature
you read, green tea is also supposed to fight stomach, skin cancers and
helps to prevent tooth decay. Green tea is also ideal to help you lose
weight.
I just wanted to share with
you want I know about green tea and the results I have gotten from this
tea. So instead of going for a cup of coffee, try some caffeine-free
green
tea. After a couple of weeks you should notice results and then you can
judge the merits of drinking green tea for yourself.

Rapper LL
Cool J Workout
Whether you are starting
to exercise or you have been working out for awhile now, it's always
helpful
to consult a professional trainer like Fast
Track To Fat Loss to offer you advice with workouts and
workout routines.
You could go about it yourself, but you have to be dedicated and commit
your time to reading fitness books or watching fitness shows and DVDs.
This leads me to the topic
I want to discuss today. You see many rappers in music videos these
days
who are very muscular and chiseled to perfection. They have the perfect
type of physique. The type of bodies that the ancient Greeks were
accustomed
to portraying in their statues. The ancient Greeks were interested in
the
ideal human body or the perfection of the human form so it's no wonder
that the Olympic Games began in Olympia Greece.
Anyway, you see this perfection
in the human physique in rapper LL Cool J. He's been able to achieve
this
level of fitness through hard work, discipline and yes, with the help
of
his long-time personal trainer Scooter Honig. So even celebrities like
LL Cool J have consulted a personal trainer! Together they have created
a workout system that burns body fat and builds muscle. After seeing
this
picture of LL Cool J, you have to agree that his workout works.
Whether you want to achieve
the perfect body like LL Cool J or simply stay in shape and get the
best-looking
body that you possibly can or desire (more like the ancient Greeks
believed),
you can read more about his workout routine in his new book:
