Getting ready for a contest or shedding those
final pounds before heading for the beach is difficult and frustrating. Taking
in caffeine supplements during your cardio-fat burning sessions may be the
ticket you need for accelerated fat loss. Australian scientists found that
taking six milligrams of caffeine per kilogram of body weight increased
endurance time in a workout involving two hours cycling followed by a
high-intensity time trial. Drinking Coca-Cola during the later phases of
exercise improved endurance and increased blood fat levels-which would increase
fat burning exercise. The results of the Australian study suggest that taking
caffeine supplements will boost fat use and exercise capacity during the
workout. |

STEPS TO SUCCESS
Envision your goal at the top of a stairway and
yourself at the bottom. Now look way up at the top, and see your goal. identify
the steps, all the way down to the very first one, the one that's right in front
of you. That is the step you can take today. Stand up tall, focus on the
top of the stairway, and take that first step. You're on your way! Now all you
need to do is just keep taking those steps, one after one.
Don't waste your time waiting for the stairway to turn into an escalator that
will carry you effortlessly to the top. It won't happen. You've got to
take those steps yourself.
It will take some effort. Take one step at a time, and you are certain to make
it.
You may occasionally slip, and you might want to sit and rest every now and
then. The important thing, though, is to keep on climbing. Every moment,
every day. Each step will carry you closer to the top. And on that happy day
when you take the last step, give yourself a little break. Relax for a moment,
and look down the stairway at how far you've come. Then take a deep breath, pat
yourself on the back, and go look for the next stairway.

"Seek out that
particular mental attribute which makes you feel most
deeply and vitally alive, along with which comes the
inner voice which says, "This is the real me," and when
you have found that attitude, follow it."

The "Cutting Phase" in
Body Building
Trying to gain muscle and lose fat at the same time is impossible. It just can't
be done. This is why most women who are trying to do both at the same time see
no results and give up. You have to do gaining muscle and losing fat in phases.
In order to get chiseled cut muscles, you will have some fat to get rid of, so
now is the time to cut down. You need to burn off the fat so as to allow the
deeper muscle cuts to show through. You don't want to lose your hard earned
muscle, but you do want to lose your fat.
Remember, cutting and dieting is extremely hard and takes a lot of work. Dieting
is very important while trying to cut and cannot be ignored. It must be done
properly and it must be always followed. There are six points you need to follow
in order to achieve a chiseled body:
Eat every three or four hours. You need to make sure that you are eating at
least 5-6 times daily. Eating this much during the day keeps your metabolism
running excellent, which allows you to burn many more calories during the day.
You must split these meals 3-4 hours apart. This will also help prevent the
intense hunger pangs that bring willpower to its knees. Eat slowly as it takes a
while for your brain to register that you've eaten.
Eighty-six the bread and dairy products. These items are great when you're
putting on size, but for that very reason they're to be avoided for the next
three months when you are trying to shed fat. Every bodybuilder knows you have
to cut out bread and dairy.

Many times, we don�t realize that some of the changes that accompany winter pose
hazards to our eyes. Most people think that it is only necessary to protect
their eyes from the sun during the summer. But the Sun�s influence does not
diminish during the rest of the year so the eyes need to be protected during the
winter too. Exposure to UV rays during winter can temporarily harm the eyes as
well as increase the risk of developing sunlight-related eye disorders,
including cataracts. The sun is not winter�s only eye hazard. Its cool winds and
drier air can irritate the eyes while outdoors. Read more about Winter Eye
