So you’ve decided to finally go to the gym. You’ve got all the motivation in the world, all the best intentions so stick it out and give this workout thing your all! iPod, check! Gym membership, check! Water bottle, check!

A few weeks go by, and you’re going strong, you may have even lost a few pounds! Fast forward about 2 months later, things seemed to have come to a screeching halt… The weight isn’t dropping as fast, and you’ve suddenly become bored with the same routine you’ve been following for the last 2 (or more) months. What to do, you may ask? Why hire a trainer!

Seems simple, but for some it’s a scary decision. In fact, as someone who has been in the industry for over 12 years, I find it amazing that so many exercisers have trepidations about taking the step to bring a fitness professional into their daily routine. Many people decide to hire a trainer later on down the line as opposed to right away. However, you are better off starting on the right foot, when the motivation is strong, than you are if you were to wait while you figure it out on your own (and possibly lose the drive to want to continue your routine).

Sometimes exercisers (new ones and those who’ve been doing it for years) don’t always realize the benefits of working with a skilled professional. So, let’s go over those benefits, shall we?

1. Hiring a trainer at the START of your fitness routine is the best time! I have had conversations with various gym goers who think that they can start off on their own and be fine. But what most people don’t realize is that their perception of HOW TO EXERCISE is a bit off. They think that doing cardio for hours on end will help them to lose the most weight, or that killing themselves on a treadmill is the most effective way to magically melt away body fat. Even worse, many people (particularly women) don’t realize the importance of weight training in a weight loss program. Some people either neglect this portion or don’t train properly to see the most dramatic changes. Working with personal trainer at the start of your fitness program can help to clear up any confusion as to what is the most (and least) effective way of training for real results.
2. Hiring a trainer can help you to learn how to weight train effectively for the results you expect! I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again, EXERCISE IS A SCIENCE. And that’s why you have so many studying this science day after day, and year after year, earning degrees and certifications to help the general public figure out how to apply this science to everyday life. When most people weight train, they end up doing traditional type of exercises that focus mostly on hypertrophy (or building mass). A lot of gym goers get their information from fitness magazines or from other members, both of which can be good sources, however they are NOT the best sources. In order to promote major body composition changes (building muscle at the same time losing the most possible body fat), one should consider following a program comprised of multi-jointed or compound exercises. Anything that gets your body moving as one unit while fighting the forces of gravity are absolutely the best. So exercises like a Squat Row or Lunge to Overhead Press will produce more of a caloric burn AND a huge metabolic boost. Pairing several exercises, like the ones mentioned, to make a complete circuit is even better. This type of training will keep your heart rate up and the calorie burn on. You’ll see more significant changes in the least amount of time.
3. Hiring a trainer can keep you motivated! It goes without saying, having someone to guide you and root for you while you work out is a great ego booster and energizer. A great trainer is someone who can keep you going even on those days that you feel you cannot muster the energy to begin your workout. A great trainer knows your body, and always keeps your goals in mind, so you can rest assured that when you step foot in the gym, you’re on your way to fitness success.
4. Hiring a trainer gives you a sense of accountability! You’ve made an appointment, you’ve made the commitment to yourself, you’ve bought someone else into the equation… Moreover, you’ve PAID for the service. Therefore, you’ve got to show up and give it your all. For many, a set appointment time is the one thing that keeps them actually making use of the gym, or exercising at all. If you’ve got to do it 2-3 times per week, on a schedule, changes are you’re going to show up!
5. Hiring a trainer can ensure real results! Again it goes back to knowing exactly what you need to do to see the results you want. Placing this responsibility in the hands of someone who has the answers on how to get you there is one of the smartest decisions you can make. It takes 4-6 weeks to see some real changes in the body, you can either do it the right way and see these changes sooner, or your way and risk not seeing them at all.

There are so many other reasons why a trainer is the best option, for the short term or the long term. Even if you just considered one for a month to jump start (or restart) your fitness plan, your trainer can be the key that unlocks your path to the body of your dreams. In our next discussion, we’ll look into choosing the right trainer for YOU.

Glutathione (Gloo-ta-thy-own) performs several key functions in your body and is often referred to as the mother of all antioxidants. Produced and stored in the liver, glutathione is a tri -peptide and potent detoxifier that allows your liver to breakdown harmful substances and flush them out of the body. Smaller amounts are released from the liver into the bloodstream where glutathione is commonly found to help protect your lungs, digestive tract and the health of your eyes.

The benefits of glutathione:

– helps maintain the integrity of red blood cells and protects against cell damage;

– aids carbohydrate metabolism;

– protects against premature aging;

– assist to recycle and boost the activity of other antioxidants, Vitamins E and C.

Glutathione is also very protective for your eye health. The optic nerve, focusing lens and aqueous fluid (tear film) all contain glutathione. Along with vitamin C, vitamin E and Lutein, glutathione is one of the most beneficial protectors of eye health.

When light enters your eyes each and every day, free radical damage is produced. Healthy levels of glutathione, in tandem with other antioxidants present in your eyes, protect against this damage and help in warding off the early onset of cataracts and macular degeneration. Studies show that antioxidants protect your eyes against degenerative diseases.

As glutathione is made naturally in the body, you may be wondering how to maintain or boost your levels of this wonderful antioxidant. As a tri-peptide, it is produced with the help of three important amino acids: cysteine, glutamic acid and glycine.

When you include protein in your diet, be it fish, chicken, red meat and or vegetable sources, this protein is then broken down into amino acids and released into your blood. The body uses these tiny building blocks to recreate ( or resynthesise ) the protein it needs for functions such as, growth and repair, digestion, and for creating hormones like insulin. So it follows that adequate protein is paramount. Without it, we would be in a pretty poor state of health, quick smart!

When you then think of the proportion of diets today that contain large amounts of carbohydrates and fat and only small amounts of protein and amino acids, you can start to see where problems might occur with a gradual reduction in glutathione levels over time.

Reduced glutathione levels are thought to be partly responsible for a number of chronic diseases of this century.

Whey protein supplements are well known to aid in boosting the amount of glutathione in your body by supplying plentiful amounts of the three precursor amino acids mentioned. Keep in mind that not all whey protein is created equal. Some cheaper, supermarket forms are loaded with sugar, sweeteners or fillers and more importantly are not cold-pressed. Look for cold-pressed or ‘non-denatured’ proteins that are not processed with heat and retain nutrients and BCAAs (branch chain amino acids) in their pure form. This is whey at its best.

Another form of cysteine, N-acetylcysteine (NAC), is a common amino acid supplement for athletes and gym-goers and clinically shown to help build and restore healthy glutathione levels in the liver, along with helping to build and restore muscle.

Whole-foods can also aid in maintaining healthy levels of glutathione.

The body can make NAC from cysteine, hence foods loaded with cysteine should be eaten regularly.

According to nutritiondata.com, foods high in cysteine include, beef, chicken, pork, fish and shrimps. Low fat milk and other dairy products, horseradish, asparagus and soybeans are all good building block of glutathione.

If you want to slow the ageing process, reduce toxicity in your body and guard against eye disease and maintain healthy eyes, you could do well to keep replenishing your levels of glutathione by eating at least a little protein with every meal or by supplementing with a good-quality, cold-pressed whey protein powder or glutathione precursor supplement like NAC.

By the way endomorphs are people that were born with a slow metabolism, and since their bodies are very efficient and need very few calories to maintain their current body weight it is very easy for them to gain weight when they consume more calories than they can burn during the day.

Before I give you these 5 fast lose weight tips I would like to mention that all my strategies are focused on helping you to burn unwanted body fat while simultaneously helping you to maintain your lean muscle mass. This is a very important distinction because this is the type of approach that eventually leads to permanent fat loss.

Since most folks are focused on losing scale weight they might not even be aware that they are losing 80% muscle and water from their bodies and only 20% actual body fat. This is why if you are serious about reaching your ideal weight and you have a burning desire to create a body you can be proud of, then it is a good idea for you to start measuring your body fat percentage on a weekly basis.

This can be done using a skin-fold caliper, or you can have a specialist test you, but whatever approach that you choose to use, make sure that this becomes something that you actually take advantage of if you want to produce irreversible, long term weight loss success.

With that said, let me give you the 5 fast lose weight tips:

1) Stay focused on consuming the amount of calories that your body can realistically burn during the day. This number should be calculated using your lean body mass.

2) Make sure that you consume mostly (90%) natural, unprocessed, and unrefined complex carbohydrates, lean protein and good dietary fat in every meal during the day. Use a macronutrient ratio that produces the best results based on split testing.

3) Drink plenty of water during the day, and consume alcohol moderately. It is also a good idea not to eat food before, during, or after consuming alcohol. This is one of the major fast lose weight tips because while your liver is metabolizing alcohol, the digestion and utilization of carbohydrates, proteins and dietary fats, is put on hold.

…and if you have a slow metabolism, obviously this will lead to fast weight gain.

4) Make it a habit to use aerobic exercise on a daily basis. The best approach is to use something that is easy to sustain like walking outside or inside on a treadmill. The fact is that to create permanent fat loss, all you have to do is burn the most total calories while doing a physical activity that you can do on a regular basis.

5) To maintain your lean muscle mass it is very important to use some type of resistance exercise at least three times per week. In this area simple and easy exercises done at home or in the gym produce the best long term results.

These 5 fast lose weight tips can help you to produce impressive results as long as you have a burning desire to actually create the body of your dreams. Because, if you do not have a single-minded focus on reaching your ideal weight without quitting or giving up, it will be very difficult for you to do what you have to do on a daily basis to bring this end-result into reality.

Did you know that subscribing to a good diet will help increase the penis size? This much is true, although there are a couple of things to bear in mind if you are choosing this kind of diet. One: consuming large volumes of these recommended food items will not bring instantaneous results. Miracle products that increase the penis size have yet to be invented, you know.

Two: you still have to combine a good diet with penile and fat burning exercises in order to see positive results. And lastly: most of these food items are geared to help you achieve and sustain a better blood circulation, which means that you are bound to see the results when you are in your erect or semi-erect state.

Saying thus, here are some of the best food items you could use to increase the penis size, and some of the ones to avoid.

1. Lean red meat is a good source of male enhancing protein. Protein is the building block of muscle and we all know that your tool down there is one large muscle – or at least, it should be. Additionally, several portions of healthy lean red meat everyday can not only increase the penis size but it can help promote longer erections as well. Try to have at least 1 serving of lean red meat per meal for a 3 times a day diet (or 1/4 serving on a 5 to 6 small meals a day diet.) Trimmed choice cuts of beef, lamb or goat meat are always the best options.

2. Another good source of protein is fish, particularly large game fish like mackerel, marlin and tuna. These have exceptionally high levels of essentially fatty acids like omega 3 which lowers bad cholesterol while increasing the volumes of good cholesterol in the system. Eating 2 portions of fish per week can increase the penis size by preventing plaque from building up in the heart’s arteries and thereby promoting better blood circulation during erection.

You can get the same benefits from trout and sardines.

3. All manner of processed food items should be removed or at least limited from your diet. Processed food and drinks are notorious for having large volumes of artificial flavors, extenders, preservatives, salt and sweetening agents — all of which promote weight gain and poor blood circulation. These would only hinder your goals of enhancing yourself and are also very likely to cause erectile dysfunction as well.
