Top 10 Reasons Why Women Should Lift Weights

Top 10 Reasons Why Women Should Lift Weights - 21 Day Fix Extreme
 Reasons Why Women Should Lift Weights

So many woman feel like the only way to lose weight is by doing cardio, but soon find out that yes they can lose weight, but they still have the flab. Cardio is great, but that's only have of the equation.

If you're looking for optimal fitness, longevity, and that lean look, then weight training is essential. It's a misconception that lifting weights will get you bulky. Read on to find out how weight lifting is one of the best methods to burn fat.

Still not convinced? Here are 10 reasons to help you reconsider:

1.  BURN MORE FAT - A study that was done at Tufts University found that when overweight women lifted and pushed weights twice a week, they lost an average of 14.6 pounds of fat and gained 1.4 pounds of muscle. The women who dieted and did not lift weights only lost 9.2 pounds of fat, and had no muscle gain. When you do a program such as the Chalean Extreme Challenge or a 21 Day Fix Extreme Challenge, your metabolism is elevated and you continue to burn fat even hours after the workout, unlike a regular cardio workout where you stop burning fat shortly after the workout.

2.  CHANGE THE LOOK OF YOUR BODY - Weight training can slim you down and can give you curves. When you drop only 3 percent of your body fat, that can translate to a total loss of 3 inches off your hips and thighs. And no, you will not bulk up, woman don't have enough muscle building hormones to gain a lot of mass like men do. If you focus on eating clean and create a calorie deficit, you will burn fat.

3.  BOOST UP METABOLISM - Did you know the less muscle you have, the slower your metabolism will be? It's true! As woman age, especially woman over 40, they lose muscle fast. When you eat healthy without resistance training, up to 25% of weight loss may be muscle loss. Weight training will preserve your lean muscles and keep your metabolism going.

4.  GET STRONGER AND BECOME MORE CONFIDENT - Lifting weights increases functional fitness. It makes everyday tasks much easier like carrying children, lifting grocery bags, and picking up heavy luggage while traveling. According to Mayo Clinic, when you lift weights on a regular basis, you can be 50% stronger in 6 months. Lifting weights also builds emotional strength by boosting self-esteem and confidence.


5.  BUILD STRONG BONES - It's been documented that weight training among woman is highly recommended to build and maintain bone mass which will help prevent osteoporosis.

6.  FIGHT DEPRESSION - Just like cardio and low impact exercises such as yoga, weight lifting can also alleviate depression. The endorphins that are released during aerobic exercises are also present during resistance training.

7.  IMPROVE ATHLETIC PERFORMANCE - You don't have to be an elite athlete to also get the benefits of weight training. Improved muscle mass and strength will help you in all types of athletic events such as obstacle course racing, swimming, skiing, cycling or whatever physical activity that you're involved with.

8.  INJURY AND ARTHRITIS REDUCTION - Lifting weights can improve joint stability, and builds stronger ligaments and tendons. Training with proper form can also help prevent injuries of daily life and can also improve physical function with people who have arthritis. A study from the University of Wales in Bangor, UK found that mildly disabled participants who lifted weights for 12 weeks increased the frequency and intensity at which they could work, with less pain and increased range of motion.


9.  HEART HEALTHY - Did you know that more than 480,000 women die from cardiovascular disease each year, making it the #1 killer for woman over the age of 25. Weight lifting can increase your good "HDL" cholesterol and decreases your bad "LDL" cholesterol. It also lowers your blood pressure. A study from the Journal of the American Medical Association reports that people who do 30 minutes of weight training each week have a 23% reduced risk of developing heart disease compared to the people who didn't lift weights.

10.  FIGHT DIABETES - In addition to keeping your ticker strong, lifting weights can improve glucose utilization (which is the way your body processes sugar) by as much as 23%. A study from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported that 16 weeks of strength training can improve glucose metabolism in a way that is comparable to taking diabetes medication. The more lean muscle mass you have, the more efficient your body is at removing glucose from the blood, which can reduce complications from diabetes and even help prevent type 2 diabetes in the first place. Pretty cool huh =).

Gym on San Juan Del Sur, Nicaragua

Fight Club Gym San Juan Del Sur, Gym on San Juan Del Sur, Workouts in San Juan Del Sur, Hiking the Jesus Statue San Juan Del Sur, Cristo de la Misericordia, Travel with Beachbody on Demand, Beachbody on Demand Free Trial


When I travel, I always try to make a point to look for a nearby gym to get my workout in. While in San Juan Del Sur, Nicaragua, I found a gym called "Fight Club Gym" located just passed the bus pick up and drop off area away from the beach. I don't have the actual address, but you can google it, and it will be easy to find. It's walking distance from anywhere on San Juan Del Sur.

The gym offers MMA training as well as your typical gym weights. They do not have a treadmill, but of course that is what the beach is for. The day pass at the time was only $3 US.

When you arrive, you have to go through the opening towards the back and go right up the stairs, you will then see the gym area which is like in a huge warehouse. There is no A/C so get ready to really break a sweat. I find that these gyms are the best ones to go to because they offer all you need, and nothing fancy, just the basic equipment with a great atmosphere.

I was able to get one workout in while at the Fight Club Gym, so I decided to do the Body Beast Total Body Workout, always a good one!

Other ways to get your workout during your stay in San Juan Del Sur besides surfing is hiking up the hills surrounding the beach. The best hike view is from the Jesus Statue overlooking the town. You can start on a run from your accommodation, and run through the beach and then up to the landmark statue, then back down. It's a very good morning workout.

My Top 7 Single Guy Tips for Staying Happy

Single Guy Tips, Single Life Tips, Single Men Tips, Being Single and Happy, Happy Tips for Single Guys


Just for the record, I am not an expert on this topic, I merely would like to give you tips that have worked for me, as well as for some of my friends who are living the single life by choice. What I mean "by choice", this simply means not relying on another person to make me or my single friends happy, and truly understanding that in order to be happy, again in my opinion...one must learn how to create happiness within themselves first.

SO LET'S DIG IN SHALL WE!

1.  Read Books - Now I know that this may seem unusual for some of you, and trust me when I say this, I was not the type of person that enjoyed reading as a child, but from my experience, this is something that always kept me busy, meaning it kept my mind occupied and at the same time, I was able to gain knowledge that help me towards my future projects and social skills. I do recommend only reading books that interest you, and believe me, you will know which books are for you or not. Start with 10 minutes or 10 pages a day, and then eventually one book a month =)

2.  Exercise - You're like, "I know this already", and I bet you do, but most people don't do what they already know which is why most single men are not happy. We all know what we have to do, but are we doing these things? From the beginning, I was always a self-motivated person, especially if I have a goal set, but if you are the type of guy that needs constant motivation, or you easily get bored, I would encourage you to find a workout partner, or join a gym. Unlike me, some people need that social environment to workout, and that's okay, just as long as you are working out and being active. There are a lot of free group fitness classes from Crossfit, to P90X, to Dance and even obstacle race training if that's what you're into. Just like reading, exercise will keep your mind occupied and also get you in shape and looking good just in case you end up finding your soul mate.

3.  Find a Hobby - I know that sometimes we get all wrapped up into work and business that we forget about the things that we really love doing. Finding a hobby and doing this every week is something that always helped me get my mind off of the fact that I was single =). As long as your hobby isn't taking over your life or your business, and affecting your work life, then I highly recommend being consistent with it. Sometimes we get bored too, I know, so this is when it might be a good idea to bring  some friends into the mix, or find online groups or meet ups to mingle with others who have the same interests as you.


4.  Socialize - Now I wouldn't get too crazy with this one! I think the last thing that any single guy who is trying to be happy should be doing is bar hopping and "pretending" they are happy. Social drinks are always ok in my book, but once you get to the point where you feel that alcohol and drugs is the only way to make you feel happy, you will end up making it worse, and trust me......you will never achieve your goal of happiness as a single guy by going that route. I enjoy occasional drinks especially when I am traveling to different countries, and celebrating success of any kind with some adult beverages is awesome, but once it gets addictive, it will be much more difficult to become truly happy. If you think that you are not fun without alcohol, then maybe you need to find some new friends, just saying =)

5.  Eat Healthier - I found that the more crap that I put into my body, the more I felt like crap. Once I began to eat healthier along with daily exercise, something magical happened, I just organically started feeling better and really appreciating things a lot more. Of course if you are not used to eating healthy, it may take some time to adjust and learn, just like any change of lifestyle, it will be tough, but ask yourself this question, "how important is it for you to be happy?" Eating healthy helped me learn to be more creative, and what I mean by this, I had to learn how to budget more, and learn how to make certain ingredients taste good. Once my body adjusted, it was like a whole new world. There are a ton of clean eating and fitness groups to join to help you get started, that's what I did. I know that there are a lot of diet plans and nutrition information out there to easily get you overwhelmed, I recommend starting off by cutting down on your fat and sugar intake, and just take it from there.


6.  Travel - I cannot begin to tell you what independent solo travel has done for me! I think I have learned 100X more by traveling over all of my years in public and financial education institutions. I learned so much about who I am, my talents, and what I am capable of just by traveling and exploring on my own. So many people think that solo travel is scary and boring, but let me tell you from my experience that the people that you meet will be some of your closest friends. I have met so many people from different parts of the world that I can literally call this planet my home. Now I know that solo travel is not for everyone, but how will you know if you don't give it a try?

7.  Start a Business on the Side - I know what you're thinking, "I don't have the money to start a business!!!", well I'm here to tell you that you're wrong. 7 years ago, I started my business with only a $40 investment, and at the time, I only had maybe less than $50 in my bank account. Starting a business can be scary, but it can also be a fun way for you to turn your hobby into a paycheck. Creating an extra income on the side is a lot easier than most people think because get this,  you are in total control of the time that you spend building it. I remember working 3 jobs and starting my online business, I would go on my bathroom breaks and do email follow ups. If I only had 10 minutes to work my business, I simply took full advantage of those 10 minutes. For me, being happy has to do a lot about living life on my own terms. Some people can work a job for 40+ years, I just wasn't that type of person. If you're reading this, just know that you can do more than you think, and starting a small business is VERY possible, you just have to stretch your mind just a bit more. As with all of the above, starting a business will keep your mind sharp and active, and you never know, you may find that special someone.

------------------------------------------------------------------

So I hope that some of my tips will help some of you. And technically, I guess these tips could also work for some females, so feel free to soak it in girls =). And again, although I am not an expert by any means, and I am still single as I am writing this post, I will have you know that I am super happy and living my life! Yes, I do have my bad days, but the key is to try to stay consistent with the things that I mentioned above, along with surrounding yourself with positive and uplifting people.

There is nothing wrong with the single life. Whether you are single or taken, we are all still human, and it is up to us to create happiness, no one will do this for us, NOT EVEN A SOUL MATE. So go out and live your life!

Running and P90X

Running and P90X - P90X Running Schedule - Run Training with P90X
Combining Running with P90X

Running is one of the most popular forms of exercise in the world, and combined with one of the most proven and successful workout programs out there, such as P90X, it could be a game changer for any type of runner. This post is to help you create a program that gives you the benefits of P90X without compromising your ability to set your PR (personal record) in your local marathon and even your next obstacle course race and/or fun mud run.

Keep in mind, P90X is not training for running, but if you play your cards right and strategize correctly, it will help your running improve.

What is your type of running?
There are different types of runs and distances. This post will be geared towards the 10K to marathon running distances since the training can be very similar. This post is not intended to tell you what to do with your running, but to help you structure P90X around your current workout schedule.

The Perfect Schedule for a Perfect World
Having an off season is crucial for any athlete. Trust me because I've done this all wrong before with my obstacle course racing, which hardly has an off-season. I continued to train hard every month whilst running competitive. And while I did well for a few months, my performance eventually diminished because of the lack of proper recovery and of course, over-training. Most runners do P90X during their off-season with very little to no running at all. From there, it goes to early season run training with doing the maintenance schedule for P90X. As it gets closer to race season, you'd run into the phase where it would be mostly running and less P90X, then the final phase of just running. But for most athletes, it doesn't happen that way because of "life". This post is mostly about trying to look and feel good, and staying fit (for the beach or a wedding) while still trying to PR for an upcoming race.

Foundation
This is very important. As for anything in life, don't start something that you can't finish. For the most part, you've already started running. So structuring P90X into your running regime is part of your foundation. It's only recommended that you only begin the program if you can structure it properly. If it's to close to the time where you have a race coming up, it's best to wait and do P90X afterwards.

Periodization
Your run training should follow a similar approach to P90X as it should be laid out in phases. For the most part, your running should target your weaknesses well before your scheduled objectives, and then bring your strengths into form close to race time. Unlike the normal P90X schedule, which is highly recommended that you do once you have the time, the schedule below will sacrifice some of the ultimate goals of the Classic P90X in order for you to adapt more quickly and leave you with a lot more energy for the higher volume or running you'll be doing later in the program.

Recovery
The schedule below can get pretty intense depending on your level of fitness. Over-training can cause injury and set you back a few months, so always listen to your body and if it gets too tough, just take a step back or modify it to suit your level of fitness. I know how easy it is to go all hard core, but keep your ego down, and be smart while you're training. You can always go beast mode at the race =)

Putting it all together
The schedule below is just one schedule of many. You may need to adjust it to your schedule. Keep in mind that when you are run training, your speed will most likely decrease because you are creating muscle breakdown in order to improve your capacity to run faster later. This means that you may be a lot slower in the program, but that will all change once you recover and convert your new strength into running speed, you'll be faster.


Running and P90X - P90X Running Schedule - Run Training with P90X

Day 4: Yoga X
Day 5: Legs & Back and Ab Ripper X
Day 6: Kenpo X
Day 7: Rest or easy aerobic hike and/or X Stretch

Day 3: Yoga X
Day 4: Legs & Back
Day 5: Core Synergistics
Day 6: Long aerobic hike or easy run and X Stretch or Yoga X
Day 7: Rest or easy aerobic hike and/or X Stretch

Day 1: Chest, Shoulders & Triceps, Ab Ripper X, and easy run
Day 2: Plyometrics
Day 3: Back & Biceps, Ab Ripper X, and easy run

Day 4: Yoga X and run workout
Day 5: Legs & Back and Ab Ripper X
Day 6: Run workout and X Stretch
Day 7: Rest or easy aerobic hike and/or X Stretch

Note: “Run workout” denotes whatever your coach or your own running dictates. It doesn’t necessarily mean a hard running workout. “Easy run” means subthreshold throughout. This should be followed with a true recovery period of yoga, stretching, and easy runs. Follow this with a rigorous running training block that ends with enough time so you can taper off for your event—usually 2 weeks.
