Workout Formula

Are you trying too hard, working out too much, planning your weight loss demise? I can’t tell you how often I hear, “I work out every day and can’t seem to lose my stomach.” Or, “I am on this new diet, I don’t know why, they never work.” Or, “Working out isn’t working anymore. When I started spinning (or working out with my trainer) I lost 10 pounds right away – now I am spinning (or training) twice as much and can’t lose a pound.”
If you are working out every day – cut it out – it’s too much. And if you are not enjoying your exercise class, or running, or meeting your trainer – forget it! That training is draining. And if in your heart you do not believe that “this new diet” will work for you – don’t do it. You are not only wasting time (and money probably) but also reinforcing failure!
Try a different tactic. I think you need to change up your workouts and rework your mind about eating.
Start here:1. No new diets, no new restrictions, just stop it all.
2. Repeat a positive mantra to yourself every day to recondition your thinking – and your behavior will change because of it.
While thinking the following thoughts, envision yourself healthy, happily eating the foods and in the shape you want to be: “I enjoy whole healthy foods, I prefer them, I choose them, I lose weight easily and my health is better because of them."
3. Envision your workouts the night before as easy and fun. Really, even for the intense days, see yourself totally loving the workout.
And when you are ready to train with precision:
a) Two workouts a week 20-30 minutes at high intensity (your rate of perceived exertion should be 8-9 on a scale of 1-10, 10 being highest). Try 10 two-minute speed intervals (walking fast, running or cycling/spinning) with 30-60 seconds of recovery in between.
b) one workout a week for 60 minutes or more at a moderate intensity. Walk, cycle or run at a steady but moderate pace.
c) one circuit workout a week for 35-45 minutes at moderately high intensity. Try walking powerfully or jogging/running or mix it, alternating running and walking, for five minutes, then go into two sets of 15 walking lunges on each side with a 30-60 seconds break (walking easily) in between.
Then walk/jog at moderately high intensity for 10 minutes, find a bench or curb and alternate one set of 10 push ups, with a set of 10 triceps extensions (two times each). Walk/jog powerfully for five minutes and then do two sets of 50 jumping jacks with a little recovery (15-30 seconds of jogging in place) in between. Walk/jog for 10 minutes and then finish off with two sets of 15 abdominal crunches. The formula for success: four workouts a week, daily affirmations, and positive visualization – that’ll get you in shape and in love with your life.

Fat Vs Muscle

You may have heard that by following a proper diet and exercise program, you can actually turn body fat into muscle.
Not true. Fat and muscle are two separate entities. You must burn fat and build muscle.
Here's how fat is burned:
When you lose weight (by eating less and exercising more), an enzyme located in fat cells disassembles the fat compounds and sends the components into the bloodstream. Liver and muscle cells take up these components and disassemble them even further until what's left is a compound called acetyl-CoA. Acetyl-CoA then enters the Krebs cycle, a series of chemical reactions that takes place in the mitochondria -- the cell's "power plant."
The end product is made up of...
• Carbon dioxide, which is expelled when you exhale.• Water, which is lost as urine and perspiration.• Heat, which helps maintain body temperature.• ATP, the molecule that fuels cellular activities that require energy.
On the flip side, to build muscle you need to work those muscles on a regular basis (no pain, no gain)...and eat appropriate amounts of dietary protein. Your protein grams for the day should total about 50% of your body weight in pounds, unless you're a serious athlete, in which case your protein requirements should total about 50-80% of your body weight in pounds.

Types of Indian Wedding Dresses

There is such an incredible amount of cultural and religious diversity in the Indian sub-continent that the exact style of Indian wedding dresses will vary from region to region. However, some common styles include the sari, gaghra choli and shalwar Khameez.

A sari is a length of cloth that is wrapped around the body in an intricate pattern. The sari may be secured by pins or simply tucked in the waistband, with the remaining part draped over the shoulder. The length of cloth that remains after the sari has been wrapped is called the pallu. A gaghra choli usually consists of a very long skirt and short blouse. A lengthy scarf called a dupatta is draped across the chest. A shalwar chameez is a long tunic over pants, also with a dupatta draped across the chest. Depending on the bride’s preference, the dupatta can also be worn around the neck, over the head or pinned to one shoulder on the side. One thing that all Indian wedding dresses have in common is elaborate and intricate embroidery. Indian wedding outfits are usually a masterful combination of patterns, sequences, beadwork and threading. Depending on the budget, an Indian bride may have parts of her outfit embossed with pure gold or silver wire. The fabrics for Indian wedding dresses can include silk, satin, chiffon and any other fabric that has a sheen and reflects lightIndian Bridal AccessoriesIn addition to the wedding dress, there are certain elements of wedding wear that are essential to an Indian bride. These accessories include necklaces, bracelets, rings, earrings and hair ornaments, all worn at the same time! This type of extensive ornamentation is a traditional part of the wedding ensemble, although sleeker designs are now coming into vogue. Additional accessories can include shoes, handbag and flower garlands to be placed around the neck. [edit]New Trends in Indian Bridal WearRed continues to be a favorite for Indian wedding dresses. Since this color has religious and cultural significance, this selection is likely to stay in vogue for the foreseeable future. However, newer and softer shades of red are slowly but surely making their way into the Indian bridal lexicon. Also, designers are offering a greater selection of Indian wedding dresses and jewelry with a more delicate design. Another interesting trend is the fusion of Western style with traditional bridal themes. Some modern brides are choosing to pair cleaner lines with the traditional elaborate style of previous generations.
