The simplest and probably that safest way to train
for increased strength is to use your own body weight. Push ups and chin ups are
good for improving the strength of both your arms and your shoulders . Runners
and people who play sports such as soccer, which concentrates on lower body
activity might find such exercise particularly worthwhile since running is good
for strengthening the legs and back but those little for the upper of the body.
Before you begin do some warm up exercise. |

Persist, no matter what..
Things worth doing seldom come easy. Remember,
while you travel on the path towards achieving goals there will be good days and
bad days. There will be times when you want to turn around, pack it up, and call
it quits. Those times tell you that you are pushing yourself, that you are not
afraid to learn by trying.
PERSIST, no matter what, because with an idea, determination, and the right
tools, you can do great things. Let your instincts, your intellect, and your
heart, guide you.

"I
like living. I have sometimes been wildly, despairingly,
acutely miserable, racked with sorrow, but through it
all I still know quite certainly that just to be alive
is a grand thing."

Weight Regain After Weight Loss
The formula for successful weight loss is deceptively simple. To lose weight you
must burn off more energy than you take in from food. You will lose one pound of
body fat every time you eat 3500 fewer calories than your body burns off. To
achieve this, you don't need to know the exact amount of calories your body is
burning off or taking in. As long as you correctly guess you're eating fewer
calories than your body is burning off, you will lose weight.
You need to determine how many calories your body
are burning off everyday. By doing this you will be able to properly adjust the
calories you are eating to maintain control of your weight. You also need an
easy and inexpensive way to determine how much of your weight loss is muscle and
how much is body fat. The more muscle, the more calories you burn at rest.
Factors responsible for weight regain :
Biological factor - To a large extent, the
weight we are is determined by genes. More than 300 genes (so far) have been
linked with obesity. Where our fat is deposited, how insulin is regulated, how
much of various hormones our bodies secrete, and many, many more. Similarly, the
regulation of appetite is complex. It's important to understand what is known
about it, because what we eat and how we eat it can affect appetite on a
short-term basis. One example: a major short term satiety regulator is
cholecystokinin, or CCK. When we eat fat or protein, CCK is released, slowing
down the digestive process and dampening our appetites. Interestingly, soluble
fiber can slow down the breakdown of CCK, keeping us feeling satisfied for
longer.
