Variations Of Upper Abs Exercises
I know that this blog is meant more for diet than abs exercises but I thought the majority of readers would like this article. It has 3 extremely effective upper abs exercises. Here is the link: Upper Abs Exercise VariationsOne that note I also did find a blog who dedicated an entire category on these exercises. The link is listed below.http://www.tightabsblog.com/upper-abs-exercises/upper-abs-exercisesEnjoy and talk to you soon.David

Flossing To Lose Weight
I founds this little tips on the men's fitness website. It says that flossing and brushing your teeth twice a day can help you lose weight. And it is not just from the energy you exert by the physical act of brushing. Floss twice a day.
When researchers in Brazil studied 13,000 people over a three-year period, they found that men with the highest levels of inflammatory agents in their body were also the most likely to gain weight. And periodontal disease, which is caused by poor oral health care, is one of the most common sources of inflammation. Brushing twice a day, flossing, and making regular trips to the dentist are the best ways to prevent the disease. Hate flossing? Studies show that a dose of Listerine may be just as effective at reducing levels of inflammatory bacteria within the mouth.This is something easy that you should already be doing. Try it out, it can't hurt.If you want more tips on weight loss Check out my how many calories to lose weight website.Good Luck

How To Use BMR and 'Daily Caloric Need' to Gain Or Lose Body Weight
Using BMR and 'Daily Caloric Need' to Gain Or Lose Body Weight
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Bryan_Keller]Bryan Keller Let me start off by briefly going over some very basic, fundamental information about the constituents of the foods that we eat and how our bodies are able to utilize the calories, carbohydrates, proteins, and fats that make up these foods.All of the foods that we eat, including meats, vegetables and fruits are made up entirely of either one or more of the following 5 fundamental nutrients:1. Proteins
2. Carbohydrates
3. Fats
4. Ethanol (Alcohol)
5. Vitamins & Dietary Minerals
6. FiberOf these 6 components, the first four in the list all contain calories. Calories are basically the amount of energy stored within each of these nutrients. Calories are needed by the human body to fuel metabolism. Metabolism is the process responsible for turning food into the energy needed to support life. The two basic metabolic pathways responsible for the conversion of calories to energy are the anabolic pathways and the catabolic pathways. Catabolism refers to the set of metabolic pathways in which molecules are broken down into smaller units causing a small amount of energy to be released in the form of heat, while the remaining energy is used to drive the synthesis of an energy transport molecule called adenosine triphospate (ATP). ATP is basically a molecular form of stored energy and allows the transfer of chemical energy from one metabolic process to another. The metabolic processes that use ATP as an energy source also convert it back into its precursors allowing it to be recycled continuously. The ATP, created during catabolism, is then available to fuel the processes within the other metabolic pathway - the anabolic pathway. Anabolism is the set of metabolic pathways reponsible for the construction of new molecules from smaller units. Anabolism is responsible for bone mineralization, cell differentiation and growth, and muscle growth.Regulating calorie intake can affect both gaining body weight and losing body weight. Generally consuming more calories than the amount used by the bodies' current metabolic needs results in body weight gain. Consuming fewer calories than the amount needed by the body to fuel its current metabolic needs results in weight loss. For someone interested in attempting to either gain or lose weight it is very useful to know how many calories are needed, on average, to fuel the bodies current metabolic needs. I will refer to this number as the 'daily caloric need'. To determine the 'daily caloric need' it is necessary to first ascertain what is called the BMR or 'basal metabolic rate'. The human body burns calories 24 hours a day, even during sleep. The basal metabolic rate, which can be estimated by using the very simple formula you see below, is the number of calories the resting body would burn if absolutely no activity were performed in a 24 hour period.Women: BMR = 655 + ( 4.35 x weight in pounds ) + ( 4.7 x height in inches ) - ( 4.7 x age in years )Men: BMR = 66 + ( 6.23 x weight in pounds ) + ( 12.7 x height in inches ) - ( 6.8 x age in year )Now that the BMR is known, applying an activity multiplier to this number will result in a fairly accurate estimate of the number of calories needed by the metabolism to fuel typical activity level and basic metabolic processes. Here I am using the Harris Benedict Formula.To determine the 'daily caloric need', multiply the BMR by the appropriate activity factor, as follows:1. If you are sedentary (little or no exercise): Calorie-Calculation = BMR x 1.2
2. If you are lightly active (light exercise/sports 1-3 days/week): Calorie-Calculation = BMR x 1.375
3. If you are moderately active (moderate exercise/sports 3-5 days/week): Calorie-Calculation = BMR x 1.55
4. If you are very active (hard exercise/sports 6-7 days a week): Calorie-Calculation = BMR x 1.725
5. If you are extra active (very hard exercise/sports & physical job or 2x training): Calorie-Calculation = BMR x 1.9 Now that the 'daily caloric need' is known, it is very easy to figure out how many additional calories need to be consumed to gain weight or how many fewer calories need to be consumed to lose weight. For the person trying to gain weight, sufficiently increasing calorie consumption over the 'daily caloric need' will cause body weight gain. A pound of body weight is roughly equal to 3500 calories, so if the goal is to gain one pound of body weight a week, 3500 excess calories should be consumed during the course of one week. Take 3500 and divide by 7 (days in a week), and the resulting 500 is the number of extra calories that need to be consumed each day to reach this goal. The composition of the food calories consumed, ie. the amounts of proteins, carbohydrates and fats, is also very important to promote lean muscular gain. See the article, Eating: Lean, Muscular, Weight Gain. While eating excess calories will invariably produce weight gain, it is important to remember that the goal is to gain 'muscular' weight, not to increase storage of body fat. When using this method to gain weight it is highly recommended that considerably more intense exercise be performed to promote an increase in muscular weight.For someone trying to lose weight, the same basic principles apply. 3500 calories is roughly equal to one pound of body tissue so therefore, limiting calorie consumption to 3500 below the 'daily caloric need' in one week should produce weight loss close to one pound a week. That's 3500 divided by 7, giving a result of 500. So, 500 fewer calories than baseline (calculated above), need to be consumed each day to reach the goal for the week. Here again, the composition of the food calories eaten during this time is very important. See the article, Eating: Lose Weight & Retain Muscle. Unfortunately reducing calories can also negatively affect the metabolic rate, slowing it down, and limit the amount of weight that can be lost. To compensate for the slowing metabolism, an additional 30 to 45 minutes of cardio-vascular exercise, added to the daily exercise routine, will help stimulate metabolism and increases the number of total calories burned. At a body-weight of 175 lbs., 30 minutes of cardio exercise will burn between 300-500 calories. This increases the total daily caloric deficit to 800-1000 calories and the weekly deficit to 5600-7000. At 7000, that's going to be very close to 2 pounds of body-weight lost each week.Now it's important to remember that this is merely a guideline and many, many other factors can, and will produce great variation among the individual results realized through the use of this approach. Genetic factors, general health, a prior history of exercise experience and poor diet or nutrition can all contribute to a decrease in the effectiveness of this technique. It truly is not possible to emphasize enough the importance of consuming good high quality protein, adequate amounts of long chain complex carbohydrates and at least some omega-3 fatty acids, particularly while attempting to either lose or gain weight. More about this later.

You will defiantly see great fat loss just by doing this.Go to bed a little hungry each night. This will cause your body to use more of the fat stores when repairing your muscles. My advice is to only eat raw vegetables after 6 PM. And make sure that you do not eat to you are full. Just eat enough to satisfy your hunger.Cut 30 minutes out of watching TV and go for a walk. Not only will you burn more calories, use this time to get in touch with nature. Take notice of all the trees and plants. Use this time to think about what is going good in your life and what you are grateful for. Doing this reduces stress and helps clear your mind. This can prevent your body from releasing too much cortisol which can lead to belly fat.Make sure that you visit the diet for abs blog for more quick fat loss tips.

Great Abs In 7 To 14 Minutes
I got the following article from John Benson. John really knows his stuff and a lot of the stuff on the Calories To Lose Weight blog is based upon his research and results that 1000's of people already have experienced. I hope that you enjoy![ Note: This article was created by fitness and nutrition author Jon Benson. He gave me permission to share to show you this. ]
Abs
Everyone wants a tighter tummy. Guys want a six-pack… ladies want a slim, firm waistline… and yes, some want a six-pack too.
Why be sexist? ; )
So needless to say people are freaked out to find that I train my abs in about 3 minutes.
Total.
Here’s how:
Let me give you the dirty facts about my abs. They are the worst part of my body… and one of the best parts at the same time. The “worst” bit has nothing to do with muscles or even bodyfat most of the time… but SKIN.
Remember, I was obese… 46-inch waist and 38 percent bodyfat. So my skin got pretty messed up. It never quite recovered from that and I have a “bit” of loose skin around my abs. Drives me nuts. I may have it removed! ; ) But other than THAT… my abs are pretty good. Here’s a pretty recent shot (after a workout taken with an iPhone… so hardly a professional shot… but you get the idea… )
![Jon's Abs](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/blogger_img_proxy/AEn0k_slMRUmkauLtpAMM3gCJE_U-GtHCbuAIDbRWZBv4JhxRm3pa6AT0kGpUiZdI5HeelIZX5SgXWNrNVS5bPlzPYRUv9PQWHynqTmHzN8ERCga75qVymYr=s0-d)
This is after THREE MINUTES of ab training done 2-3 times a week.
Let me spell out my thoughts on this:
If you are training your abs longer than 7 minutes a week you are doing something wrong… or you’re just wasting your time. Sorry to break it to you, but abs develop fast. It’s the BODYFAT you need to focus on. Still, you need abs… and my HDT-Style Training in 7 Minute Body and 7 Minute Muscle will get you those abs uber-fast:
7 and 14-Minute workouts <—about HDT
Go watch and read how it works now.
Before you do, let me give you a substitute exercise for one of the three I recommend during my “3-Minute Abs” routine (found in both books on the page above.) Hanging leg raises… they are the best when done the way I show you in my book. BUT some people do not have the gym or the straps I recommend.
So do this instead: Leg raises on a Swiss Ball, bench or even off the floor.
Here’s the tip: Raise the legs, pause at the top for 2 seconds and blow ALL of your air out. Contract your abs HARD at the top.
Then and ONLY then lower the legs slowly. If you do this right there’s no way to get more than 15 reps. I get about 8 before my abs give out!
That’s all it takes. You do NOT need “high reps” to develop your abs. In fact LOW reps work better…
You just need resistance… and my way of training gives you plenty. This means a LOT less time doing the exercises and a LOT MORE time enjoying the nice set of tummy muscles you’ve built. Sounds like a plan.
P.S. Here’s the latest for those interested in my ongoing legal issues with selling rights to a publisher. This concerns YOU as the price for 7 Minute Muscle and 7 Minute Body will NOT be under my control as soon as the contracts are signed. This was supposed to happen today… but as luck (for you!) would have it, I got caught in Austin traffic at 5:30pm and missed my 6:00 meeting with the publishers. The president leaves town tonight-Sunday.
SO NOW… I can extend my half-price (more than half-off the Advanced Videos!) for a few more days…
… so go here:
7 and 14-Minute workouts <—discount
P.P.S. In case you’re wondering, this is not a clever marketing ploy… 7MM and 7MB are both being acquired by a publisher.
The recognize the amazing benefits this style of workouts offer anyone at any age… fatburning and muscle-shaping…
Otherwise they would not be writing such a nice check… : ) I bought a Jeep with it. So it’s not making me a millionaire or anything, but it’s nice to have my hard work rewarded! Even nicer than that, I get the chance to almost give away my “baby” to you if you don’t have it already…
When the deal is done, here is what you can expect to happen:
1. The page below WILL change, and that includes the price… they think the price is not right. (I think that means too low… ha… ; )
2. The specials will end due to the fact they will send millions of people to the site rather than a few hundred thousand (my readers and my] affiliates send about that much.)
3. The book will end up in some bookstore eventually… and that’s FINE unless they want to alter the content… which I have a provision to prevent.
Sorry to ramble on about this, but I want you to know the integrity of the guy sending you emails every day…
Sure, I like to make a living. Who doesn’t? But I won’t sell my soul to do it. I won’t give up what I KNOW works to make a buck or two… so that means I maintain TOTAL creative control over these books even after the publishers take over. In fact I’m negotiating a position WITH this firm so I can make SURE I maintain control… and folks, I HATE working for other people!
But it is worth it… IF I can keep the quality of the materials where they are. And they are 100% solid.
And right now they are 200% cheaper than normal… so if you don’t know what all the fuss is about with all of this “7 minute workout” stuff (I prefer the 14-minute advanced workouts, which you can get too) … then hop over here:

Pre-Meals One Secret To Weight Loss
Here is a technique that I used when I first started dieting. This technique did help me lose weight but more importantly it helped me acquire a taste for vegetables and taught portion control with my meals. The one nice thing about it is no calorie counting. You do not even need to know your calories to lose weight.What I did was 15 - 30 minutes before I sat down for a meal I ate one piece fruit, ½ cup of vegetables, 10 almonds and drank a glass of water. Then when it was time for my meal, the first thing that I ate was my protein portion of the meal. Remember you should consume high quality protein with each meal.The reason why you wait 15 to 30 minutes before eating your meal is because it takes time for your body to tell your brain that it is full. That is one reason you may overeat. Another reason you may overeat is because you body is looking for certain nutrients. And when you don’t get these nutrients your brain keeps telling you to eat. A lot of times you will not even be hungry after eating the fruits, veggies and nuts.By the time you get done eating the protein you are usually full and stop eating. One last thought when eating. Make sure that you chew each bite of food 30 times. This does not only give your body more time to tell the brain that it is full it also helps with the digestion of the food. You will receive more energy from the foods that you eat. Not only that, it will allow you to concentrate on the actual food when eating. This will actually make you food taste better.Over time your brain will make a connection that this amount of food will satisfy your hunger. So if you skip the pre-meal one day then when you eat your actual meal your brain will automatically tell you that you are full. I call this my subconscious portion control. Try it out and see for yourself.In order for this to be effective you do need to follow this routine for 3 to 4weeks consistently. After that you brain has made that connection. You can continue this technique if you like but it is not necessary. You just trained you mind to eat in a completely different way.If your interested in other dieting tips make sure you check out the Diet For Abs blog.
