Is it hard to build muscle on a vegetarian diet?

Depending on how strict of a vegetarian you are, there are still plenty of ways to get protein from your diet. The key will be getting complete proteins and also important is keeping up your energy levels so you can make it through the workout. If you are not a very strict vegetarian, you can just eat fish and seafood and you will be fine for protein. If you are choosing not to eat fish, then you still have things like nuts, beans, legumes and eggs which are also great sources of protein. It is definitely possible to build muscle from these sources of protein. One important thing to remember when eating vegetarian is to balance your omega 3’s and omega 6’s. Try using flax or chia seeds to help with this. Some vegetarians rely on fortified protein drinks or snacks, which are all right, but a very strict vegetarian will need to consider the source. What ingredients are being used to fortify these foods? Some of these drinks and snacks will conflict with so...

How can I learn how to deadlift properly?

The Deadlift: Perfect Every Time 1. Take your stance, feet a little closer than you think it needs to be  and with your toes out more than you like. Your shins should be about  one inch from the bar, no more. This places the bar over the mid-foot –  the whole foot, not the mid-instep. 2. Take your grip on the bar, leaving your hips up. DO NOT MOVE THE BAR. 3. Drop your knees forward and out until your shins touch the bar. DO NOT MOVE THE BAR. 4. Hard part: squeeze your chest up as hard as you can. DO NOT MOVE THE  BAR. This establishes a "wave" of extension that goes all the way down  to the lumbar, and sets the back angle from the top down. DO NOT LOWER  YOUR HIPS – LIFT THE CHEST TO SET THE BACK ANGLE. 5. Squeeze the bar off the floor and drag it up your legs in contact  with your skin/sweats until it locks out at the top. If you have done  the above sequence precisely as described, the bar will come off the  ground in a per...

Chose between strength training and running for optimal health and fitness, what would you choose?

The better choice is a combination of the two. Strength training to help tone and build up your muscles. Cardio (running) to help your cardiovascular system and to help more with weight loss. If you’re goal is weight loss, then it’s cardio. But you also need to consider your diet. If you don’t watch what you eat, then all the exercise programs, whatever it may be, won’t help with your overall health or weight loss. Running:  Provides little if any strength training.  Just Cardio. Strength:  If you do your strength training correctly (HIIT), you will achieve both cardio and strength while only training strength.  You can lift weights in such a way that you circuit your exercises and have absolutely no rest in between.  I assure you that you will get more cardio that way than from running.

What are your health and fitness goals and how do you motivate yourself to achieve them?

It is okay to set the goals, but know clearly what are the system you are going to follow and implement that is aligned to your goals. Why is it so hard to form good habits? Why is it so difficult to make consistent change? How can we have the best intentions to become better, and yet still see so little progress? And most importantly, is there anything we can do about it? Goals are not your habits! Are your goals- the way you want our bodies to look and the good health you want to enjoy, the respect you want to receive from your peers and the important work you want to create, the relationships you want with your family and friends and the love you want to share. If you don’t have these small goals and which are more fulfilling in life, then you go ahead and define a big goal(Health wise- lose 40kilos in one year, Earn X amount to gain respect, Have the perfect partner with awesome kids, Work to change the world). These goals are very good and common but ther...

best diet health and fitness books

1. The Precision Nutrition System Why? It's practical information delivered by people who actually coach other people. Many fitness and diet books are assumptions made by writers who have an interest in fitness, but many of them lack real world experience. Other books I've read by nutrition or fitness professionals tend to take a very biased viewpoint on nutrition as well, so it's refreshing to read a book that discusses how to eat, rather than telling you exactly what to eat. This system is built around optimizing your diet (i.e. showing you how to craft a diet that suits YOU, as opposed to the masses). It will show you how to break down your diet for various objectives (mass gain, weight loss, health, etc...) and is very simple/easy to follow. They have one of the most down-to-earth 'real-world' nutrition approaches I know of, that focuses more on long-term adaptation and less on the typical '12-weeks-to-a-ripped-physique' short-sighted...

How to Overcome the Mental Blocks Ruining Your Workouts

You've heard the saying: Performance is 90 percent mental and 10 percent physical. You can be in peak physical shape, but if your mind isn't in the right place, your training is going to take a hit. These difficulties usually come in the form of mental blocks, or not being able to accomplish something you feel like you should be able to tackle. Sound familiar? You're definitely not alone, says Lani Lawrence, Psy.D., senior staff psychologist for the University of Southern California athletics program. """Having mental blocks are completely normal — most athletes experience them,"" she says." These mental blocks are usually triggered by feeling overwhelmed, she says. This can be due to a number of things such as pressure, burnout, stress, anxiety, or the fear of trying something new. A mental block isn't exactly the same as a motivation hit. Not feeling the motivation to keep up with your workout routine can go hand-in-hand with a ...

A Step-By-Step Guide to Getting Iron Abs

The science of weight loss is fairly straightforward: "You simply have to burn more calories than you consume," says trainer Richard Levy. "Try to cut 500 calories a day from your diet. Your body will sense the drop in food and compensate by using stored fat as energy." "Eat little and often to prevent you craving the wrong foods. Aim for six meals a day: this will keep your blood sugar stable," says Pip Hartnell, chief nutritionist at Pure Packages. And never skip meals. Going without food for more than four hours causes the body to suppress its calorie-burning capacity. "Kick the booze. Not only is it high in calories itself, it also reduces the amount of fat calories you burn, boosts your appetite and drops your testosterone levels," says personal trainer Ross Chouler.  "Eat the right kind of carbohydrates," says Hartnell. "Avoid processed carbs such as white bread and go for the slow-release variety of beans, l...

Eat Breakfast After the Gym for a High Metabolism

The big breakfast debate has been settled. Until now, the opposing cases have been presented as follows: skip breakfast and train fasted to spike your metabolism and increase your total fat burn by 8 per cent. Alternatively, wait to digest your morning eggs in order to train harder for faster gains. Both are enticing – which is confusing. But the latest research from the University of Scranton confirms that fasted exercise is the tastiest prospect for weight loss. And not for the reasons previously thought. Scientists set out to discover how timing breakfast around a morning workout could affect appetite for the rest of the day. Two groups were fed exactly the same breakfast at different times, before being given the green light to indulge as they saw fit for lunch and dinner. Subjects who ate their first meal after swinging a kettlebell, rather than before, consumed 900 fewer calories throughout the day. This supports previous research linking exercise to...
