      <![CDATA[<p>The diet has three phases.&nbsp; Phase 1 is the most difficult phase because you will be under severe carbohydrate restriction for 14 days.&nbsp; All foods that have high glycemic indexes are eliminated in the diet, replaced by other foods that are high in protein.&nbsp; A huge amount of weight loss is observed in this phase, with your body losing as much as 8-13 lbs in two weeks.&nbsp; </p><p>Phase 3 is the re-introduction of selected food types that were restricted in Phase 1, where you are expected to lose 1-2 lbs per week.&nbsp; You get to continue this phase for as long as you want until you have reached your desired body weight.&nbsp; Phase 3 is the maintenance phase which you can follow for the rest of your life.&nbsp; You no longer have to vigilantly check which foods are allowed and which foods you must not consume.&nbsp; You have the option of eating anything that you want as long as you follow the South Beach Diet basic principles.<br /><br />Like all diet programs, South Beach Diet also has some pros and cons that you have to consider.&nbsp; Unlike other diets, the South Beach Diet encourages you to maintain a healthy, balanced diet that is not high in saturated fat that can increase your cholesterol levels.&nbsp; You get to have regular meals along with snacks so that you will not have a problem with food cravings and hunger.&nbsp; The downside of this diet is that it takes a lot of will-power to follow, most especially if you are used to eating a diet that is mainly composed of carbohydrates.&nbsp; </p><p>The menu can be very expensive, making the diet not-so practical for those who are under a strict budget.&nbsp; And once you enter the program, it has to be followed for a lifetime for going back to your old way of eating will lead to an even faster rate of weight gain.<br /> </p><p> <em>Article written by Brettany Marie of <a href="http://www.ultimatefitnessgear.com/" target="_blank">www.UltimateFitnessGear.com</a>, your top source for the Insanity Workout. <a href="http://www.ultimatefitnessgear.com/insanity-with-shaun-t.html" target="_blank">Get Insanity</a>  now and get into shape.</em></p><p><strong><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&amp;location=http://www.amazon.com/s?url=search-alias%3Daps&amp;field-keywords=The+South+Beach+Diet&amp;x=0&amp;y=0&amp;tag=cellphonedigest-20&amp;linkCode=ur2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325" target="_blank">Buy The South Beach Diet at Amazon.com</a></strong>.</p>]]>

If so, you may notice that you are not making  gains like you used to. You know what they say: &ldquo;Variety is the spice of  life.&rdquo; That saying is especially true when it comes to the gains you  want to make with your workouts. You have to add some variety to your  workout routine in order to keep the gains coming. It&rsquo;s time to get your  muscles confused.<br /> <br /> What Is Muscle Confusion?</p><p>You won&rsquo;t have to pretend to be someone else or tell your muscles  riddles to achieve muscle confusion. Besides, that would probably get  you some strange looks in the weight room. </p></td></tr></tbody></table>]]>
      <![CDATA[Muscle confusion is all about  adding variety to your workout routine. Your body will reach a point where it becomes very comfortable with the exercise routine that you are doing. When that happens, gains come to a screeching halt. This is when you have to throw your body a curve ball and change things up.<br /><br />It might make you anxious to think about ditching your current workout, but don&rsquo;t worry; you can always come back to it &ndash; after you add some variety in for a few weeks. In addition to forcing your muscles to adapt and grow, a new routine will help you to stay mentally fresh, too. When you get too used to a workout schedule you tend to go through the motions and there is very little intensity. <br /><br />Here are some suggested splits for adding a little bit of Muscle confusion to your workouts.<br /><ul><li>Try two weeks of doing no weight work at all. Simply do push-ups, pull-ups, dips and other body-weight exercises for your workouts. Keep the repetitions high and add a set or two. Instead of doing 3 sets of each exercise, shoot for 5 sets.</li><li>Go super-heavy for two weeks. After two weeks of no weights, you should be itching to slap some plates on the bar. Go ahead, but go heavy. Shoot for the 3-5 rep range. Do basic exercises like the bench press, squats and dead-lifts. Keep the weights heavy, rest times generous and sets average.</li><li>Change your grip for two weeks. Go back to the exercises you usually do, but change your grips. Instead of a standard barbell curl, do a reverse grip curl (palms facing down). Instead of doing standard squats, use an extra wide stance. You get the picture&mdash;do your normal routine, but change the way that you do the exercises.</li><li>Finish up the muscle confusion cycle by going back to your standard workout. Note any changes that have taken place over the past 6 weeks. Can you lift heavier weights than usual? Are you able to squeeze in more reps? How do you look in the mirror?</li></ul><em>You should have jump-started some new gains in the past six weeks by using muscle confusion.

It&rsquo;s not like the old days when your only choices  for cardio work were the track or the stationery bike. There are some  gyms that have dozens of different types of cardio machines. From stair  climbers to wall climbers, some gyms are packed full of some of the most  confusing types of cardio machines that you can imagine. <br /><br />Making  the right choice will depend upon your fitness level, any limitations  you might have and your own personal preferences. Here are some of the  common pieces of workout equipment used by people for cardio workouts.<br /><br /><strong>Stationery  Bikes</strong><br /></td></tr></tbody></table>]]>
      <![CDATA[The stationery bike has been a staple of gyms and fitness centers for years. Riding one of these bikes is a great way to get in some serious cardio work. One common complaint that people have about stationery bikes is that the seats often are not very comfortable after a few minutes. If you find that you are sore after riding a stationery bike, you may want to choose a recumbent bike for your workouts. Recumbent bikes allow you to be seated more comfortably while still getting a great aerobic workout.<br /><strong><br />Treadmills</strong><br /><br />The treadmill is another classic piece of workout equipment. It&rsquo;s important when using treadmills to start off slowly. Too many people try to jump on a treadmill and start running at full blast speeds. Take your time and increase your pace slowly. You don&rsquo;t want to push yourself too hard, and running on a treadmill takes a little bit of getting used to. <br /><strong><br />Stair Climbers</strong><br /><br />Stair climbers are another popular choice in exercise equipment. If you&rsquo;ve ever had to dash up a flight of stairs, you know that it can take a lot out of you. Stair climbers allow you to get in some of the best cardio workouts imaginable. Like treadmills, using a stair climber can take some getting used to. Don&rsquo;t expect to immediately sprint on these pieces of equipment. Take time to get used to using the machine first.<br /><strong><br />Stationery Rowers<br /></strong><br />These are great for people who have leg injuries that prevent running or biking. A stationery rowing machine doesn&rsquo;t take up a lot of space, either. Many people skip over this piece of cardio equipment but those who use them know that stationery rowers give some of the best workouts you can get. To switch up your routine, try using a rower the next time you&rsquo;re in the gym.<br /><br /><em>There are many other types of cardio equipment that you can choose from but these are some of the standards that you will see in most gyms. You can also purchase at-home models of each for your home gym.Author: Mike Stewart of the number one place to <a href="http://www.extremehomeworkout.com/insanity-workout-deluxe.html" target="_blank">Get Insanity</a>.

You can  have all of this by just doing a few simple exercises, which you can do  pretty much anywhere you want, without needing to use special equipment  or going to a gym. There are all kinds of different exercises you can  do, even while you are sitting in your office, that will firm and tone  your legs and buttocks and you probably won&rsquo;t even break a sweat doing  them.<br /> <br /><div align="center"> <strong>Single Leg Bridge</strong></div></td></tr></tbody></table>]]>

The single leg bridge works the backs of the leg muscles. All you need to do is lay on your back with your legs flat on the floor. Bend one leg, so that your foot is flat on the floor. Lift the other leg straight in the air. Press your weight onto the foot that is on the floor and lift your buttocks off the floor. Hold this position for a few seconds and then slowly lower your buttocks back to the floor. Repeat with the other leg. You should try to do at least ten reps on each side.</p> <p align="center"><strong>Single Leg Dead Lift</strong></p> <p align="center"><img src="http://www.warriorfitnessworld.com/images2/200x200-single_leg_deadlift.jpg" border="0" alt="200x200-single_leg_deadlift.jpg" width="200" height="200" /></p> <p>This is another easy exercise you can do at home, or in the office. Stand up straight and stick one leg out behind you a little bit. Lower your body while raising the leg in the back. Your back and leg should form one straight line that is parallel with the floor. Hold this position for a few seconds, and then slowly go back to the starting position. Switch legs and do it again. Try to do about ten reps on each side.</p> <p align="center"><strong>Inner Thigh Circles</strong></p> <p align="center"><img src="http://www.warriorfitnessworld.com/images2/an_innerthigh.gif" border="0" alt="an_innerthigh.gif" width="330" height="110" /></p> <p>This is another exercise you lay on the floor to do. Lie down on one side, propping yourself up with your elbow. Keep the leg nearest the floor straight and bend the other at the knee so your foot is flat on the floor, behind the straight leg. Now, lift your straight leg up a few inches and draw circles in the air with your foot. Do a few circles, lower your leg and change sides. Again, you should probably start out with about 10 reps on each side.<br /><br />There are loads of other exercises you can do to get your legs in great shape. Walking is always an excellent option and if you use leg weights, you will get even more benefits from walking. So, the next time you don&rsquo;t think you have the time or the space to exercise, think again. These and more exercises, can be done in your home or office and will only take a few minutes out of your day.</p><em>Written By Arthur Lee of the <a href="http://www.extremehomeworkout.com/" target="_blank">Insanity Workout Shop</a>, the top place to <a href="http://www.extremehomeworkout.com/insanity-with-shaun-t.html" target="_blank">Get Insanity</a> from professional fitness trainer Shaun T.</em>]]>

      <![CDATA[There are many benefits to using a core training program. You need to   have a strong core to make sure that you have a strong back, hips and   other joints and that your joints will be able to handle any activities   that involve putting weight on these joints. Once you have been doing   core training for a little while, you will probably find that:<ul><li>you have better range of movement</li><li>you have better control of your movements</li><li>you have better coordination</li><li>your spine and pelvis are stabilized</li><li>your joints are more stable</li><li>you have better balance</li><li>your upper and lower body are carrying the proper amount of weight</li></ul><p><strong>Reduce Joint Pain with Core Training</strong><br /><br />There are millions of Americans who suffer from back pain, knee pain and other joint pain. Core training can help to reduce a lot of your aches and pains and make it much easier for you to go about your daily activities. And in addition to easing many pains, core training will also help to prevent future body aches, because your body is going to be much more stabilized.<br /><br /><strong>Core Training Can Be Done With Apparatus</strong><br /><br />Even though you can do all of your core training exercises just about anywhere and without the need for special equipment, there are different pieces of apparatus that can be used to enhance your workout and give you even greater benefits. Some of the tools you may want to use when you are doing your core training include exercise balls, medicine balls, weights (dumbbells are the most popular) and resistance bands, just to name a few.</p><p>If you would like to begin core training but are not sure which exercises you should be doing, the best thing to do is visit a gym and speak with a trainer. He or she will be able to help you choose which core exercises are right for you, based on your current physical condition and activity level. As you progress with your core training, you will be able to add more difficult exercises to your routine. In no time at all, you are going to look and feel great. </p> <em>Written by Mitch Campbell of <a href="http://www.extremehomeworkout.com/">Extreme Home Workout.com</a>.

      <![CDATA[<p>Pain is usually a sign of  improper technique. You should always be sure to stretch every muscle  group, while placing your main focus on the muscles that you will be  using that day.&nbsp; <br /> <br /> Although it is important to stretch before and after your exercise  routine, you should also stretch on the days that you do not workout.&nbsp;  Stretching daily can lead to better flexibility and an increased range  of motion.&nbsp; Stretching can also help relieve or prevent pain.&nbsp; If there  is a certain muscle group that is causing you pain, try incorporating a  few stretches into your day to loosen up the area and allow the blood to  circulate more.&nbsp; By increasing the circulation to your muscles you can  increase your energy level as well.<br /> <br /> To maximize the benefits of your stretching routine, never hold your  breath.&nbsp; Continue to inhale through the nose and exhale through the  mouth as you hold out the stretch.&nbsp; Continuing to breathe throughout the  stretch helps oxygen circulate to the muscles resulting in a deeper  more effective stretch.&nbsp; <br /> <br /> Below are two common stretches that are very simple to add to your  exercise routine.<br /> <br /> The hamstring stretch helps to loosen up the leg muscles.&nbsp; Start by  standing with your feet about 6 inches apart.&nbsp; Bend at the waist and let  your arms and upper body hand down towards the floor.&nbsp; Reach for the  floor or grasp the back of the calves and pull your upper body toward  them.&nbsp; You will be able to feel this stretch in your thighs and  hamstring area.<br /> <br /> The lower back stretch helps to increase the flexibility in your back.&nbsp;  Begin by sitting on the floor with you feet out in front of you.&nbsp;  Bending your knee at a 90 degree angle, cross your right foot over your  left leg and place it on your left thigh.&nbsp; Twist the top of your body to  the right while placing your elbow on the outside of the right leg.&nbsp;  Repeat with the other side.<br /> <br /> Even if you do not have a regular exercise routine, stretching daily has  many benefits.&nbsp; As our bodies age our muscles tighten and we loose some  of the range of motion that we once enjoyed.&nbsp; Stretching can reverse  these signs of aging by continuing to allow you to do the tasks that you  are used to.&nbsp; It doesn&rsquo;t take a large time commitment, and the benefits  far outweigh the effort.&nbsp; Start small and work your way into more  stretches. </p><p><em>Guest Post written by Cody Figgins of <a href="http://www.ultimatefitnessgear.com/" target="_blank">Ultimate Fitness Gear</a>, your best source for the <a href="http://www.ultimatefitnessgear.com/insanity-with-shaun-t.html" target="_blank">Shaun T Insanity Workout</a>.  </em></p>]]>

      <![CDATA[<p>There are four main areas where senior citizens should focus while exercising.&nbsp; These include improving your sense of balance, gaining suppleness or improving flexibility, improving stamina or endurance, and toning muscles or increasing in strength.&nbsp; Additionally, regular exercise will help senior citizens improve their mood and helps promote a general sense of well being.&nbsp; Since boredom, loneliness, and even depression can plague senior citizens, exercise is a great, natural remedy that can have a great impact on emotions and mood.&nbsp; As seniors begin to embrace a healthy lifestyle that incorporates regular exercise, they will also see their body image begin to change.&nbsp; This promotes greater self esteem and boosts confidence, causing the person to enjoy more activities in life.<br /><br />Always check with your health care provider before beginning any workout program.&nbsp; If you have any type of chronic conditions or illnesses ask your health care provider for recommendations regarding exercises that would be best for your situation.&nbsp; Safety is of the utmost importance, and you should heed any warning signs that something might be wrong.&nbsp; These include feeling any type of pain in the chest area when working out, developing shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, having a irregular or unusually rapid heartbeat.&nbsp; However, you should contact your health care provider regarding any questions or concerns that you might have as it is always best to proceed with caution.&nbsp; Exercise can prolong your life, and ensure that you derive more enjoyment each day. </p><p><em>Guest Post written by Lindsey Perez of the <a href="http://www.extremehomeworkout.com/" target="_blank">Insanity Workout Store</a>.

Such exercises have been shown to have  positive effects for people who are suffering from diabetes, especially  those who have low glucose levels. One example is exercise being able to  channel muscle energy, convert it into glucose and then using that  glucose as fuel. At the start of it, the body will just use the glucose  that has been converted into glycogen from one&rsquo;s muscles. Glucose is  also found in your bloodstream. If you maintain a long term exercise  program, it is highly likely that the levels of your blood glucose will  not dip. Also, glucagon and other hormones found in your body will also  be released. These hormones and glucagon work together and break down  all of the liver&rsquo;s stored fat and then converting such stored fat into  more glucose. <br /></td></tr></tbody></table>]]>
      <![CDATA[<p>It is best that you engage in exercise frequently, because  your body will improve. It will develop a sensitivity to insulin, as  well as help you gain better control of the body&rsquo;s glycemic index.<br /><br />It was already mentioned that exercise will have a great effect on your glucose levels. This is very, very important, especially for people who are suffering from type 2 diabetes. There have been many published research pointing to patients&rsquo; better control of glycemic as soon as exercise becomes a regular routine for them. Meanwhile, patients who do not exercise at all or enough show no improvement. Again, there is an improvement in one&rsquo;s insulin sensitivity through exercise. The benefit of this is in needing fewer doses of medicine for controlling and managing your blood sugar levels.<br /><br />Be cautioned that there are some patients of type 2 diabetes that are at risk for developing hypoglycemia. This might be because of exercise. Sometimes, stress happens during and also after exercise, which triggers the hypoglycemia. However, if you think about it people who also have less control over their diabetes can also be at risk for developing hyperglycemia. Professionals recommend around two hours and thirty minutes&rsquo; worth of moderate aerobic exercise for those who have type 2 diabetes, or ninety minutes of vigorous exercise several times a week.<br />Usually, it is more about the frequency of exercise that comes into play rather than the type of exercise. More benefits may be gotten from aerobic activity and weight training combined. <br /><br />There are times when you one shouldn&rsquo;t exercise, especially if you are at risk for cardiac conditions. It is best to start slowly and tentatively just to be safe.</p><p><em>About the Author - Su Rollins writes for <a href="http://www.hypoglycemicdiet.org" target="_blank">hypoglycemic diet plan</a> , her personal hobby blog focused on tips to prevent and cure hypoglycemia using the right diet and nutrition.</em></p>]]>
