HIIT Cardio Idea

What a better way to kick off the new year with some HIIT Cardio (High Intensity Interval Training).
I know what your thinking....Really cardio? Who has time for that??
I promise this workout will keep you engaged and will make your cardio session worthwhile!

All you need is a stair climber, a pair of dumbells (10-20lb depending how comfortable you are holding them for a period of time), and 20 minutes. Thats it! 20 minutes towards feeling more healthy and vibrant! Lets get started:

First place your set of dumbells on the stair climber, right above the belt (the plastic edge). Then warm up on the stair climber for 3-5 minutes (this is not included in the 20 minutes total). Some stairclimbers differ in speeds, so for now warm up speed should be around 45-50.
Now heres the real workout:

- 55-60 speed: 30 seconds . Facing forward on stairclimber neutral position (This means no hanging on for dear life!)
- Same speed: 30 seconds. Face directly to the right holding one hand on hip, legs crossing over each other.
-Same Speed: 30 seconds. Face backwards. I know what your thinking, go slow though in a toe to heal motion and you'll be fine (this one you can hold on to both handles)
-Same Speed: 30 seconds: Face directly to the left holding one hand on hip, legs crossing over each other.
-70-80 speed: 1 minute. Climbing every other stair, be sure to squeeze your glutes at the top
-50 speed: 1 minute: Think of this as your cool down (But not!) Pick up your set of dumbbells and hold them by your side for the entire minute

Repeat this series 5x and thats it!

Print out this workout and try it out for yourselves! If you don't feel comfortable holding dumbbells you can also try a weight vest, which is a great alternative. It really doesn't take very long, because you will stay engaged the entire time. Like I said, "You can do anything for 30 seconds!"

Have fun with this workout and hope you all have an awesome New Year!

Bodybuilding And Cutting Diet

You see those bodybuilders on TV and think, "That can be me!" In order for your statement to become reality, you have to be in a bodybuilding cutting diet which will let you maintain your muscle mass.
Cutting diet is for people who need to lose those stubborn pounds of fat. Often times, these are located in problem areas such as the thighs and the hips. Bodybuilding cutting diet works especially to those who feel that they should get cuts in their lower abs and lower back areas.
This can be done by avoiding starch. Any starch. In doing so, this will bring down the body fat percentage to 4 to 7%. Eat green vegetables for fiber and healthy fats such as flax oil, olive oil, fish oils, salmon and steak. In order to preserve muscles, one must eat protein. Drink 1 to 2 gallons of water every day. Avoid any kind of fruit drinks and juices. Do not eat bread and rice.
Eat carbohydrates after working out. You will have the energy you need from the fats you are eating. You will also have good digestion because of the fiber intake and muscle protection and hardness from your protein consumption.
The key in planning your bodybuilding diet is taking in healthy fat, tons of protein and lots of fiber. Not only will you lose those unwanted pounds, you will also be able to maintain the muscles in your body. Plus, you have the all the energy you need in your skin.
When it comes to working out, the secret is to stay active for as long as you can. Lift weights four times a week. You can alternate between heavy and low repetitions of workouts and the high moderated weight work-outs.
Cardio must be done four to seven days in a week. You can also alternate the 20 minutes intense regimen such as sprints and jump ropes and 45 minutes to an hour low intense regiment such as walking and light jogging.
