Exercising At Home With Videos

Exercising At Home With Videos

 

These days, there are a lot of people purchasing exercise
videos and to say the least; there are plenty to choose from.
But the question is, are there really any advantages to using
exercise videos? Well, in a word, yes, there are actually a lot
of advantages to using exercise videos. Let's discuss some of
those advantages.

For one thing, exercise videos are made for home workouts. Home
workouts offer a lot of advantages over going to the gym. You
can exercise any time during the day and there will be no time
when you will have to worry about dealing with crowds. There
will be no waiting for equipment. You do not have to be on time
for a scheduled class. You can wear any cloths you want. You
only have to buy each video one time but you can use them as
much as you want while the gym has ongoing fees to pay. You
also do not have the extra time spent driving to and from the
gym.

Exercise videos come with a very wide selection of different
kinds of workouts. There are videos for aerobic workouts,
strength workouts, circuit workouts that combine the previous
two, yoga, stretching, and even mental exercise like
meditation. They can be found in a variety of different styles
like dance aerobics, step aerobics, kickboxing, Pilates, and
jump rope just to name a few.

You can get ones that are very easy if you are just starting
out, or ones that are much more difficult as you become more
advanced. You can even buy videos that are geared for specific
purposes such as workouts for seniors, for children, for
pregnant women, and for those with back pain.

You can get exercise videos that do not require the use of
equipment, as well as ones that use such items as stability
balls, rubber tubing, aerobic steps, free weights, mini-
trampolines, and body bars and even home gym multi-stations.
Whatever equipment you have, there will be a video you can buy
to show you a routine that uses it.

These exercise videos as well as any of the equipment that may
be used in them can easily be bought online as well as in any
number of department stores and fitness equipment catalogs
making it practically effortless to get them.

Exercise videos are a very good tool to help you get the most
out of your home workouts. They give you structured routines to
follow as well as giving you a variety of types and intensity
levels of exercise that you can do.

The most important thing to remember however is this, simply
popping an exercise video into the VCR, then sitting back on
the sofa and watching it with your feet up will do nothing for
your waistline. Getting up and following along on the other
hand will get you on your way to the results you want to
achieve.

10-Minute Exercises with Big Results!

10-Minute Exercises with Big Results!

This is the second in a series where you will learn
how to make the most of your spare time to increase your
fitness and health.

Research has shown that short, intense exercise segments
throughout the day are just as effective as longer workouts
at burning calories, increasing cardio endurance and
lowering blood pressure and cholesterol.

Even as little as five minutes can go a long way towards
balancing hormones in the body and making you a happier
person - is that great or what? You no longer have to worry
about finding a large block of free time to work out; just
take a coffee break and in five minutes you can feel
totally rejuvenated.

One of the greatest things about shorter workouts is that
they have tremendous potential to reshape your body with a
minimum time commitment. Incorporating strength training
exercises into your daily schedule is a powerful tool for
both heart health and muscle strength.

Spend five minutes doing lower body exercises and after
several weeks you can tell a difference. Spend ten minutes
on a power workout and results will show up in three weeks
or less.

Use the following ten-minute express workout on a regular
basis in conjunction the other Workouts you have learned
for a month and you will see remarkable changes in your
body's strength.

You can do these workouts in your office with the door
closed or, if your office is a cubicle, in the restroom or
some other private area.

Express Workout 2: Hips and Thighs

Hips and thighs can be a frustrating area to shape up
especially for women. Thanks to the physiological design of
female bodies, fat tends to be stored in the thighs and
hips and can be very resistant to toning efforts. Perform
this routine three to four times weekly in conjunction with
aerobic exercise and your body will begin to reshape in six
to ten weeks.

Squats: Squats are performed by standing with feet about
shoulder-width apart and arms by sides. Keep strong posture
and slowly lower buttocks as though about to sit down in a
chair. Lower several inches and then slowly raise.

Pli'e: Adopted from ballet, a pli'e is performed by
standing with feet just wider than shoulder-width and toes
pointed outward. With a hand on a chair or wall for
balance, slowly drop body straight down for several inches
and then come back up.

To increase intensity, on the final pli'e, stay in a
lowered position and slowly pulse your body up and down
about an inch. This fatigues the muscle faster.

Lunges: Lunges are performed by standing with feet about
shoulder-width apart and hands on hips.

Stand tall and take a large step forward with one foot,
and remain in that position. Turn your back foot up until
balanced on the toes and then slowly lower your body until
your front knee forms a right angle. Slowly raise your body
back up. Repeat on each side.

Leg Stretches: Stand with feet about shoulder-width apart
and one hand holding a chair or wall for balance. Raise one
foot behind you and reach back with your hand, grab the
foot and gently pull it towards your buttocks. This
stretches the quadriceps muscle on the front of the leg.
Repeat with each leg.

For stretching the calf muscle, place one foot slightly in
front of you and point your toes up, balancing on the heel.
Keep your weight on the foot that is not being stretched.
Repeat on both sides.

All times are approximate.

0:01 - 1:00
Begin by walking briskly in place to warm up the muscles.
Warming the muscles makes them pliable and will allow you
to work longer.

1:01 - 3:00
Perform as many squats as possible in two minutes.

3:01 - 4:00
Rest for one minute.

4:01 - 6:00
Perform as many pli'e's as possible in two minutes.

6:01 - 7:00
Rest for one minute.

7:01 - 9:00
Perform as many lunges (both legs) as possible in two
minutes.

9:01 - 10:00
Recovery and stretching.

Have a rest :-)

Next in the series of quick but beneficial workouts for
people "on the go" you will learn a 10-minute workout to
strengthen and/or tone your arms and shoulders.

Acne

Plagued by acne

Acne is a skin disorder that affects millions of Americans
each year. Because of this, most people are interested in
finding out what acne is and how to treat it. Acne is a
result of increased hormones overproducing the amount of
sebum, or oil that is released through pores. When the
increased amount of oil begins to make its way to the
surface it clogs up the pore and then bacteria and dead skin
cells form a pimple or lesion on the face. There are more
pores on your face, neck, shoulders and back so these areas
are more prone to developing acne. Acne is not a fatal
disorder, but it can leave some pretty ugly scarring,
disfigurement, and cause embarrassment for individuals with
the disorder.

Doctors are not exactly sure what causes acne, although
changes in hormones do not affect the onset of acne. For
instance, individuals in puberty have increased hormones,
pregnant women, and women who start or stop birth control
pills. The change in hormones affects the way the pores on
the face secrete sebum, which can cause acne. Also, acne may
be hereditary because in many studies of individuals with
acne other family members in previous generations also were
plagued with the disorder. Regardless, acne is an annoyance
to many.

There are many myths about what causes acne, none of which
are true. First, eating chocolate or greasy foods will not
cause you to develop acne. It might cause you to gain a few
pounds, but acne no. Apparently, food does not have an
impact on whether an individual develops acne or not. Stress
is also said to lead to increased zits and pimples, however
stress does not have an affect on acne either. The only
things doctors have been able to pinpoint are increased
hormones and the way the sebum reacts to this.

Generally, dermatologists treat acne in individuals and work
to clear up current acne, stop new pimples from developing,
treat any scars that might have developed and work to keep
acne to a minimum and the patient happy with their
appearance.

The treatments include medicated creams to apply to the
affected areas several times a day as well as pills.
Sometimes doctors use a combination of the above to get the
desired affect of clear skin because different people react
differently to medications. If you have a problem with acne
make an appointment with your local dermatologist in order
to get the disorder under control as quickly as possible and
minimize scarring and/or disfigurement.

7 Tips to improve your Baseball Game

7 Tips to improve your Baseball Game

Because baseball is game of skill, the top athlete isnt
always the better baseball player, especially if he or she
doesnt possess the multitude of skills that can help them
become a complete player.  Baseball is a game of throwing,
fielding, pitching, catching, base running, and hitting.  To
improve all of these areas, you must practice using drills.
However, practices can be fast, jumping from one drill to
another.  As a player, you must always focus on getting the
most out of every drill session.   Dont just go through the
motions as you will develop bad habits.  Dont just go
through the drills to get as many opportunities as you can.
You have to focus on getting quality out of your drills.
Focus on getting top form with as many opportunities you get
while in practice.  The following information will provide
you some tips to keep in mind while you drill that will help
you improve your game

Throwing the ball

Grab the ball with your index finger and middle finger along
the seams of the baseball while keeping your thumb
underneath it.  As you prepare to throw square up your
shoulders, move towards a target and throw with a three
quarter arm action.

Fielding the ball

If you keep your feet spread and stay down you'll ensure
good balance.  You do not want the ball to go between your
legs and you always want your glove in front of you so you
can block the ball and see it go into your glove.

Catching Fly Balls

In order to catch a fly ball from the outfield you should be
striding toward your target and you want to be behind the
wall.  First of all, you can see the ball and secondly, you
can get into your stride to throw to your target.  Finally,
be sure to catch the ball above the shoulder with your elbow
bent.  This will help cushion as you catch.

Batting Stance

For the most part, you want to balance your stance with your
feet shoulder length apart.  In order to keep your balance
keep your toes pointed inward slightly.  You should be
looking at the pitcher with your head level.

Pitching

A good pitcher wants to achieve consistent strikes using
proper mechanics in order to reduce the chances of an
injury. Vary the speed of your pitches and you'll keep the
batter confused and off timing. You should learn to find the
ball inside, outside, up and down.

Base running

You always want to run in a manner to give yourself the best
chance for top speed.  For instance, if running more than
one base, time your steps so you hit the base with your
right foot as you get less arc and can keep a more
consistent stride losing less speed towards the next base.
Although these tips are the tip of the iceberg when it comes
to skills for playing baseball, they will help in your
effort in becoming the complete baseball player.
