Your legs have very strong muscles. No
matter which leg workout routine you choose, you'll find that you
can lift heavier weights during your leg workouts than with other
routines. Not only that, but you'll often find that you can make
bigger and quicker gains with your leg workouts. Check out this
week's article on Top 10 anywhere leg exercises.
Remember, you are what you eat!

Aerobic exercise is generally
meant to improve cardiovascular efficiency, but if you do it long enough, you
will burn up calories and in the long run drop the fat.
Weightlifting can do the same thing, only better. Studies have shown that the
body burns fat more efficiently if exercise is performed at a moderate pace for
periods longer than 20 minutes. (It generally takes that long for the glucose in
the bloodstream to be 'burned up', causing the body to dip into glycogen
reserves for its energy) Once the glycogen reserves are used up, the body must
metabolize fatty acids for energy. That equate to lost body fat.
In the long run, bodybuilding is more efficient than aerobics for burning up
calories. |

Master Your Thoughts
The outer mask of the personality is like a robot programmed to do certain
tasks. Your habits and thoughts are the programs. Be free from these programming
and then the inner good that resides in you will be revealed.
Try to watch your thoughts and see how they come and go. Stay in the quietness
that arises. The moments of peace will be brief at first, but in time they will
get longer. This peace is also strength, power, kindness, and love. When you
realize that you are one with the Universal Power, you begin to act from a
different dimension, not from the selfish, small, limited ego.
Do not think about the difficulties, otherwise that what you will see and
experience. Just quieten your feelings and thoughts and try to stay in this
peace. All the abilities and powers will awaken spontaneously. You do not work
on them directly. They are by-products of your peace of mind. Just try to be
calm and do not let yourself be carried away by your thoughts

Top 10 anywhere leg
exercises
1. Calf raise and bounce
Stand up straight, holding on to a door handle or chair. Pull yourself up on to
your tiptoes then lower yourself all the way down until you�re sitting on your
heels. Then, when you have reached the ground, bounce on your heels four times.
Slowly pull back up to a standing position. Repeat four times. Concentrate on
using your legs to do the pushing: don�t be tempted to let the door handle take
the strain.
2. Single leg raises
Still holding on to the handle, take the leg furthest from the handle and lift
it out to the side, pausing in three places on the way up, about 15 cm (6
inches) apart each time, and then again on the way down. As you lift your leg,
remember that the third stage is supposed to be the hardest. Swap sides. Repeat
each side four times. Keep an eye on your posture throughout: don�t lean forward
as you lift your leg and put it back down.
