    Staying healthy over the summer days!

    Probably you have been sick at least once over the summer? I dare to say that most people have been this through ;) It is not very cool when you are having fever and out there is 40 degrees. It happened so many times that you have planned a trip and you got sick just before. That’s why you have to be extra carefull if you want to plan your vacation!

    Don’t be stressed, thats the first rule. Drink enough fluids, any natural juces will do, but dont drink too mutch though. Fresh vegetables and fruits are imprtant to your well being, as they contain lots of vitamins and antioxidants!

    Be active, sport is healty when you do it right and without risk of a injury. Daily activity like half an hour or more is perfect! Go for walks in the park for starters!

    I wish you a healthy summer! :)

    Cardiovascular Exercise For Fat Loss

    Forms of Aerobic Exercise

    Good forms of aerobic exercise are: stationary bike, jogging (this can also be done on a treadmill), fast walking (also can be done on a treadmill), stair stepper, elliptical machine, rowing machine, sets of sprinting, running, or any other form of cardiovascular activity that would raise your heartbeat to the fat burning zone.

    Frequency and Duration of Aerobic Exercise

    As far as frequency is concerned, we feel comfortable recommending 2 to 4 sessions of 20-40 minutes each for male bodybuilders in the off-season. If a contest is approaching, then we would gradually increase the activity to no more than two sessions per day, 7 days a week of 45 minutes each on the worst case for a short period of time. Remember, it is those long hours of cardio that cause bodybuilders to look like POWs (Prisoners of War) in the bodybuilding stage the day of the show. If you are doing 2 sessions of 45 minutes of cardio every day make sure that you take plenty of glutamine (15-30 grams per day) in addition to having at least 7 meals per day.

    For women, due to their higher concentrations of estrogen in the blood and due to the fact that they have less muscle mass than a male, more frequent aerobic activity is beneficial. Therefore, we recommend an off season plan of 4 to 5 sessions of 30-45 minutes and if a contest approaches, we would gradually increase the activity to no more than two sessions per day, 7 days a week of 45 minutes each on the worst case.
    Cycling of Aerobic Activity

    During the off season, you may choose to cycle you aerobic activity in the following manner in order to prevent your body from adjusting to a specific pattern:

    1. Cycle The Kind Of Aerobic Activity Being Used: Changing up the aerobic exercises prevents the body from getting so good at a specific activity that it becomes hard for you then to raise your heart rate.

    2. Cycle The Duration Of The Activity: For example, a male bodybuilder that performs 3 sessions a week may do 20 minutes of aerobics on weeks 1& 2, 25 minutes on weeks 3 & 4, and finally 30 minutes on weeks 5 & 6.

    A female bodybuilder can use the same pattern as well (e.g. 4 sessions performed for 20 minutes on weeks 1&2, 30 minutes on weeks 3 & 4, and finally 40 minutes on weeks 5 & 6). This form of cycling will not only keep the workouts interesting but it will also prevent the body from permanently adjusting to a given length of the activity. Remember, that as soon as the body adapts, it will be tougher to reach the fat burning zone and therefore it will be harder to use aerobic exercise as weapon against fat.
