Women are, home-makers, doctors, managers, corporate executives, entrepreneurs, sports persons, actors, politicians…. they have made a place for themselves in every sphere. With more exposure, there is more awareness and more competition. Nevertheless, a combination of beauty and brains is what makes the ideal woman. Unfortunately, many women tend to neglect themselves after they get married and have children. They spend little or no time on maintaining themselves and land up gaining a lot of weight. Suddenly, as realization dawns, they look for ways to shed the unwarranted weight, especially the large piles of flab that accumulate on and around the abdomen.

The following exercises help in reducing stomach fat:

Hula Hoop Exercise: Hula Hoop is the ring shaped plastic hoop that is twirled around the stomach, limbs and neck. Twirling the hoop around the stomach, helps in toning the muscles and shedding the flab; do this for 5 to 15 minutes a day.

Belly Suction: Suck in your belly button and hold it for as long as you can. Start by holding it for 15 seconds and then gradually increase up to 1 minute.

Walking and/or Running: These help in burning calories and reducing the belly size.

Sit-Ups: Doing sit-ups help in reducing the tummy but one needs to do at least 500 sit-ups every day to achieve quick results.

Drawing-in the belly: Like belly suction, this exercise is done by lying flat on the back, bending the knees, and keeping the feet flat. Then gradually the belly is drawn in to touch the spine and held for 10 seconds. The exercise should be repeated ten times every day for best results. This exercise also strengthens the spine.

exercises are one part of the process to get a flat stomach. These should be accompanied by a disciplined diet regime. dieting does not mean starving. It simply means eating the right kinds of foods, in the right quantities at the right time. A combination of physical exercises and a healthy diet will give you a perfect figure and a flat abdomen.

Shoulder injuries like Impingement Syndrome are unbelievably common. Also known as swimmers shoulder or throwers shoulder it can be very painful and is not to be laughed at. I know because a few months ago I injured my shoulder. It was easily done, I was trying to lift something that was too heavy and felt something go in my shoulder, stopped and rubbed it and carried on. The following day I was in a agony. Lifting my arm above shoulder height was impossible as was trying to reach behind me. Over the following days the pain got worse and my shoulder got weaker so it was off to the doctors for me.

I had damaged one of the muscles in my rotator cuff. The rotator cuff is the group of four muscles which move and hold together the shoulder. These four muscles surround the shoulder, running under and over the bones of the shoulder and that is the problem. If you pull a muscle in your leg for instance, it might swell slightly but it gets better in time. When you damage a muscle in your rotator cuff it swells up and starts to pinch or get impinged by the bone or other muscles that it rests against or runs under or over. The muscle rubs and tendons get damaged and start to fray like old rope as they get rubbed. That is what causes the severe pain and why it seems that nothing will get rid of it. That is shoulder impingement syndrome, not something I recommend getting but unfortunately a lot of us will suffer with it as we get older.

The usual treatment for shoulder impingement syndrome is a course of anti inflammatory drugs over about an eight week period with cold compresses and sometimes steroid injections to reduce the inflammation and give the injured muscle an opportunity to heal properly. In some cases surgery is needed to repair the damaged muscle.

I was recommended for surgery, must have been bad. Being based in the UK I had a date for surgery that was about three months off so I took the time to start finding out more on the subject on the internet. There are a lot of websites on the subject out there and I soon began to realise that the majority of shoulder injuries can be healed rest and exercise in that order.  Having already been resting my shoulder for several weeks i started off with some gentle exercises, gradually building up the exercises over a six week period. Iit was important not to experience any pain. Six weeks in I was pain free and had regained about 95% of my shoulder movement. Ten weeks in I was willing to risk a round of golf although I did approach it with a some caution. I have now put off the surgery.

My belief is that as we get older we change, we don’t hold ourselves so well, perhaps the few extra pounds that we tend to carry add a few stresses to our joints. The programme helped me not only with my shoulder but also with my general posture and I think it was this younger posture which helped me to recover. So maybe the answer to shoulder impingement syndrome problems is to think and act younger, get some exercise and start to wake your joints up a bit. I’m probably in better shape now than for anytime in the last ten years.

Suffering from shoulder pain? Are you looking for a way to strengthen and/or heal your rotator cuff? Luckily there are many very effective rotator cuff exercises that, when done properly and consistently, will eventually heal and strengthen this complex and delicate area of the body. It’s possible to heal an injured rotator cuff naturally… and possibly avoid surgery.

A good rotator cuff exercise program should consist of both stretching and strengthening exercises. Stretching increase mobility and range of motion as well as improving circulation. The small muscles and tendons of the rotator cuff don’t receive a lot of blood flow, so improving circulation with stretching, massage and applying heat is important to the overall healing process.

In this article we are mainly focusing on strengthening exercises using light weights.

When performing rotator cuff exercises, pay very close attention to proper form. The rotator cuff is made up of many small muscles and tendons… it’s crucial that you isolate these muscles via good form. Also, these are endurance muscles so low weight and high reps are the name of the game. Start with 3-4 set of 15 repetitions and eventually progress to 5 sets of 20+ reps.

The following website has a few good examples of rotator cuff weight exercises as well as pictures to guide you. This is not a substitute for enrolling in a professional therapy program http://familydoctor.org/handouts/265.html

Rotator cuff weight exercises, if performed correctly, can do wonders for healing and strengthening your shoulder. However, keep in mind that you should not try to perform a random batch of exercises off the internet without proper guidance. This will probably makes matters worse. These exercise need to be performed a specific way and in a certain sequence. It’s important to carefully choose a program that has been put together by a physical therapist who specializes in rotator cuff rehabilitation.

Here are some hula hoop exercise protocols you can use to get the most out of hula hooping. Follow these and you’re well on your way to having a firmer, tighter waistline. Don’t follow these and you’re probably just wasting your time.

Hula Hoop Exercise Guidelines

1. Get a weighted hula hoop

A normal hula hoop is NOT an option. Don’t be cheap. Get a weighted one. Why? Because you won’t get frustrated with the hula hoop falling to the ground all the time.

A normal hula hoop is light and rotates fast. It’s very hard to control it. If you don’t gyrate your hips fast enough, it’s going to the ground. AND OFTEN. This fast becomes a waste of your time. You need to be able to twirl the hula hoop more than just a couple times before it falls to the ground.

A weighted hula hoop costs $15-20. It’s worth it. It’s perhaps the best exercise to tone up your waist and hips. The way you move while twirling the hula hoop works these areas perfectly. Because it’s weighted, it rotates a lot slower. This gives you control over it and it doesn’t fall to the ground as much.

2. Hula hoop during tv commercials

This should be your goal. To hula hoop non-stop through 4-5 tv commercial breaks. This will give you anywhere from 8-13 minutes of hula hooping each day. Use commercial breaks so you don’t have to waste time from other parts of your day to workout.

Follow these hula hoop exercise guidelines and within a couple weeks you should see big BIG improvements in your waist and hips.

This is a continuation of my article on the same caption.
I am going over the several popular items consumed by non-vegetarians, why they may be actually harmful to your health and why you may want to consider a vegetarian diet as your dietetic choice. Okay, at least try it for a month or so and see what it’s like my friend.

Here we go, more harmful foods co-incidentally NOT in a vegetarian diet.

The Vegetarian Diet: Avoided Products and Reasons Why (continuation)

Milk:
The milk of any animal is basically too rich humans. It is highly acidic and mucus forming. The fact that man needs to drink the milk of another creature after it has been weaned of his own mother is actually laughable and propaganda hyped by its endorsers basically for their gain.
Being a predigested food, it has been shown to cause various complications in the stomach and colon, such as cramps and convulsions. Its calcium is highly difficult to assimilate. This results in its introduction in free form into the blood stream and an eventual deposition in the tissues, cells and joints where it may cause intense pain and suffering. Milk is loaded with antibiotics, bacteria, pesticides, cholesterol and powerful growth hormones that are deeply troubling to the human body.

Contrary to the hype, drinking milk will not prevent osteoporosis. In 1995, the Harvard Nurses’ Health Study conducted on over 75, 000 women revealed that those supposedly acquiring calcium from milk experience more fractures compared to those drinking little or no milk.

Animal milk is for the animal’s offspring and not you. Think about it. That being said, it is advisable to eliminate milk and all dairy from the diet for optimal health.

Though I have read that raw goat’s milk could be sufficient for nursing mothers to feed their babies, I’d say simply the milk in your mammary glands should be the most ideal . If for whatever reasons you feel like you cannot give milk up at least see to it that it is diluted and that you add some maple syrup to this solution.

Some research indicates that sour milk is less harmful and may even possess laxative qualities. Still I think for the creaminess it might offer, basic Avocadoes or occasional Coconut milk as made by the Brazilians would be way better choices.

Soy milk by the way is not much better than milk as they are basically legumes which are unbalanced protein-rich foods.

-Honey: This over-promoted, overpriced product being sold to gullible health faddists should be eliminated from your diet. It is meant only for the bees that make it.
Being predigested it enters the bloodstream rapidly raising the blood sugar way above normal. To correct this, the pancreas must produce insulin or death may occur.
Replace honey with genuine maple syrup for a much more balanced and safer, sweetener.

-Eggs: Even worse than meats. Research has shown they are very constipating and its white is dangerous, acid forming and too high in protein qualities.

-Fish: I’ve heard many people proudly declare “I don’t do red meat just fish and poultry!” However, they are very mistaken in that; although for the reasons given above-meat is highly detrimental for consumption, Fish is even worse. It putrefies much quicker than meat. If you cut a piece of fish and meat side by side, you’ll notice that the former decays much quicker than the latter. Imagine what it’s like on the inside of the body. Moreover, taking into consideration the heavy metal contamination that fish contains-based on the pollution of their habitat, Fish is an especially bad choice, so do yourself a favor, avoid fish at all times if you can!

Though some non-vegetarians show bodily vigor, they usually do not possess the vegetarian’s endurance and strength. Take a look at Bill Pearl, five-time winner of the Mr. Universe pageant. Even our distant cousins, the Apes in the wild, are vegetarians as well. After reading these factors, if you are still on the fence on how safe and healthy being a vegetarian can be for your health-or if you need to be convinced of its benefits-do not worry, becoming a vegetarian (a well balanced one that is) is definitely the biggest step you’ll be taking towards improving your health.
