Finances

One of the things can cause weight gain is stress. One of the main causes of stress is finances. Most people have had, or are currently having, financial issues. It's hard not to with the economy like it is. It's important not to get yourself into a bad financial bind, but if you do, it's important to get out of it. To do that, one needs motivation. A good way is by blogging about it. One great blog that I've found that does that is Investing My Way to Financial Freedom. This is a day by day blog about how this author is working out of debt. If you're having financial problems, which like I mention earlier is unhealthy, you need to read this blog. It could help you.

Proper Form

There are so many people that I've seen that do not have good form in the weight room. I've noticed guys benching who are practically doing declines. They arch their back so far I'm suprised that it doesn't break. Some people overlook it, but proper form is very important when lifting weights. Not only are you NOT getting a completely successful workout, bad form can, and eventually will, lead to injuries. If you do not know proper form, I suggest you do a little research before you regret it.

Photographs

I want to tell you guys about a new site that sells photographs. Greycat Photos has professionaly taken photos in various sizes for sale at very reasonable prices. The subject matter of the photos ranges from nature to landscapes to antique farm equipment. The above picture of a lily is an example of the types of photographs you can find there. So if you are interested in old timey pictures or nature photos, I suggest you give Greycat Photos a look.

Example

Please don't take what I'm about to say as being mean. I have a huge problem with parents who allow their child to eat all day and exercise none. I was recently around this. I bet this 14 yr. old weight 230lbs, and the parents were ok with it. The child is only 5'7". Now I do realize there are medical problem that can cause this, but when the parents just allow their child to hurt themselves like this, I have a problem with it. There are so many problems that are a direct result of obescity. It's, in my opinion negligence on the parents fault. The parents should set an example for their child.

Summer exercise...

Swimming is a great and enjoyable way to exercise during the hot months of summer. Swimming tones your entire body, and also is an excellent cardiovascular workout. It's a relaxing exercise that almost anyone can do, including people for whom jarring, weight-bearing activities are out of the question. It's wonderful for pregnant women in particular since swimming builds up abdominal and shoulder muscles. Water exercise can also reduce the joint stiffness, high blood pressure, and discomfort associated with pregnancy.

4 helpful tips...

- Body calories can be considerably reduced by regular exercising.

- Don’t eat out too often.

- When you take in food, eat food in the right proportions.

- Read the labels on the products you want to buy at the store.

Anything goes...

As I mentioned in an earlier blog, I've got my horses back. I love them, but they eat like crazy. The good thing about them though is I get to do what I love to do how I love to do it. I can exercise while horseback riding.

You know the great thing about blogging is that you can write about anything and everything you want to. I recently read a blog, Nishas world of interests, that I really enjoyed. This blog had articles about baby health to celebrity gossip. It has some good reads. This blog has something for everyone.

College teens.

The following is an article that I read from MSN. Some of you may have already read it, but I found it interesting; So here it is:

College Teens Less Likely to Have Risky Sex

American teens who attend college are less likely to have risky sex than teens who aren't in college, say researchers at the University of Washington in Seattle.

They found that teen college students were more likely to always use a condom and less likely to engage in high-risk sex than teens who weren't in college, United Press International reported.

According to the study:

23 percent of teen college students and 35 percent of non-college teens reported inconsistent condom use.
15 percent of college students and 29 percent of non-college teens engaged in casual sex.
5 percent of college students and 16 percent of non-college teens had high-risk sex, which included casual sex, inconsistent condom use, having sex with a man who had sex with other men, or having a sex partner who was HIV positive or was an intravenous drug user.
53 percent of college students and 70 percent of non-college teens engaged in sex in the previous month.

Work-Out Tips

1. Don't be a workoutaholic.

2. The best rep range for gaining size is eight to 20.

3. Always eat after you wake up and after you train.

4. Do not avoid different exercises.

5. Warm up and then stretch before you train.

6. Recovery is just as important as training.

7. Don't do the same workout over and over.

8. Most guys need to consume an additional 2,500 to 3,500 calories a week to gain one pound of muscle each week.
