Proven Bun and Thigh Exercises


Most women are obsessed with building nice solid and shapely buns. The butt muscle is commonly referred to as the glutes. It gets this name from the three muscles that it consists of: the gluteus maximus, gluteus medius, and the gluteus minimus. Logic will tell you that the gluteus maximus is the largest of the three. It's the one that's most noticeable.
The gluteus medius and minimus are located around the body part of your pelvis, so they are not as apparent.
Traditional Squats

The squat is a compound exercise (works all the muscles simultaneously in that muscle group) and top-class for adding shape to your bottom. Include this exercise first in your bun training to ensure you target the entire glute muscle simultaneously.

Use a variety of rep ranges and sets. It's safest to squat until your upper legs (from knee to hip) are parallel to the floor. However, at times you can squat past parallel, provided the poundage you use is light. Also, with light poundage you can vary foot placement and foot width to further target other areas of the upper legs.

Pile Squats

Further extend the traditional squat by adding pile squats to your program. Pile squats can add some variety and help target the muscles of the inner and outer thighs to a much greater degree.

If you are unfamiliar with the pile squats it's simply taking a wide-stance with your toes pointing outward. Hold a dumbbell in front of you and squat straight down and rise back in a controlled manner.

A Perfect Diet To Keep You Fit In Dress


Never before have there been as many overweight people as
there are today. No matter how much most people try, they can't seem to keep
those nagging pounds off. Below are some important things to avoid doing when
you first start losing weight, and then some great tips to help you achieve your
fitness goals.

First of all, dieting is not the answer. In fact, dieting
normally does more harm than good. When you go on a diet, you generally give up
most if not all of the foods you enjoy.

What happens as a result? You begin getting intense
cravings for your favorite foods a couple days into the diet, and end up binge
eating, gaining even ore weight than before.

Even if you are somehow able to keep the weight off with a
diet, forbidding your body the nutrients it needs (as is the case with most
diets) is never the answer. What's the one way to make absolutely sure you keep
those pounds off? Steady and consistent exercise. Many people attempt to
begin working out, but most end up quitting just days or weeks into it. Here
are some tips to ensure that you keep up your exercise routine and achieve your
fitness goals.

The most important thing to remember, when embarking on an
exercise program, is to start slowly. If you aren't in shape and haven't
exercised in quite some time, trying to run a marathon right off the bat (or
anything beyond what your body can handle) can be devastating to your attempt to
get fit.

5 Best Tips To Control Your Weight

If one wishes to lose pounds really quickly one needs to have the correct information from the appropriate source. Continue on reading because we will be highlighting the ten most notable weight control strategies that ensure one gets the most out of his or her time and efforts to avoid obesity.
Many overweight individuals slowly but surely give up hope and commence to believe that they will never ever lose the pounds. This occurs mainly because they have been misled. What may also happen is that they continue on a path that definitely does not produce the desired fat loss results. The ten weight control tips about to be presented will certainly assist one in solving these challenges and present one with an ideal platform on how to lose fat:
1) An optimum weight control strategy is to consume more daily meals! This is actually better than the alternative. However, one's servings need to be lighter than a typical portion. Ingesting five smaller meals instead of three large versions certainly promotes fullness and lends itself to not overindulging. Furthermore, the energy derived from these meals is easier for the body to absorb and results in a more effective metabolism!
2) Attempt to plan meals in advance. By doing this one doesn't risk getting trapped into the state of mind of having no other option other than to eat something unhealthy. This always results in excess calories and weight gain.
3) One's weight control efforts should involve staying well hydrated! This will assist one to avoid dehydration and will also curb the cravings and hunger pangs that promote over-consumption!
4) Try to stay somewhat physically active during the day and substitute different alternatives that encourage that. Something as basic as ignoring the elevator and walking up stairs is an example.
5) Establish weight control objectives that can be adhered to. Make certain that they're sensible and achievable ambitions, yet demanding enough that one will stay enthusiastic.

Weight Loss Pills,Should We Use Them?

In this modern day and era, where everyone is so busy and seem to be short of time, more and more people are turning to weight loss pills for a quick way to lose weight. As there are dozens of such pills vying for a share in the health and fitness market with many being found off the shelves of supermarkets simply screaming for your attention, it is easy to lay your hands on any of these pills.
The promise of quick weight loss through such pills appeals especially to those who are looking to lose some pounds quickly and effortlessly. After all, who would not jump at the idea of being able to lose weight by just popping some pills? This requires no effort at all: no diet and no exercises necessary. Hence simply irresistible to some!
The main question now is "do weight loss pills truly work"? There has been no specific conclusion though most diet pills do work to some extent. A word of caution though, before you jump onto the bandwagon.
Our bodies are all different. We eat different foods. Our metabolism rates differ. The amount of physical activities differs as well. Thus the effect of these pills from one person to another also differs. What may work for one person may not work for another. There is no single magic wonder pill that works for all.
Though different pills work in different ways depending on their active ingredients, most fall within two main categories:- appetite suppressants and fat blockers. Most weight loss pills such as Proactol, Hoodia, etc... work by suppressing your appetite and keeping away the hunger pangs. The appetite suppressants give you the feeling of fullness so that you do can do with eating less. On the other hand, fat blockers such as Xenical contain a lipase inhibitor which allows the fat ingested to be removed from the body without being broken down and absorbed into the body as is the normal procedure.

Bad Foods Which Increase Fat And cholesterol

There are some foods that you must avoid to eat because they make you fat.
In this article I give you a list of high fat foods. Perhaps you don't know it but fat and fat is not the same.
Think of it this way, if you knew that a food had the chance of killing you in 10yrs would you eat it,
Eggs, Cream, Sugar, Milk and Peppermint. This is well known ice cream brands ingredients. Choose it instead of the chemically altered crap...Next we have dairy. Now, there was a time when diary was actually very healthy for you and man sometimes lived on it for tens of thousands of years. But guess what, back then cows had a better quality of life. They were allowed to roam pastures, eat grass and get fresh sunshine.
Fried chicken. If you are going to eat fried chicken then there is one bit of advice that can help you out. Make sure that you do not eat the skin. I was recently made aware by a cardiologist that eating fried chicken skin is the single worst thing you can do in terms of clogging your arteries.
Fatty beef. There are different cuts of beef and some of them have more fat content on them than others. For example, a filet mignon is a great cut of beef and contains very little fat.
Pork. See the aforementioned but there is an exception. Whereas you can eat certain parts of the cow and not be taking in too much fat.
Pastries. It is impossible to include a list of high fat foods that are bad for you and not mention pastries. Most people that eat pastries on a regular basis would be shocked if they found out how much sugar and fat are in these delicacies.

8 Natural Fat Burning Foods For Quick weight Loss

Eat Right And You Shall Be Well!
Now, what does a healthy diet mean? And what sort of adjustments will you need to make in your diet to ensure you're eating right? Also, how can you take personal responsibility for your health by the types of food you eat?



Turmeric: This is an essential ingredient of the Indian cuisine that is rich in beta carotene, an antioxidant that protects the liver from the harmful effects of free radicals and helps the body to burn fat.
 

 
 
 

  • Cayenne pepper: This hot spice reduces the risk of excess insulin in the body, speeds up metabolism and lowers blood glucose.




  • Vinegar: vinegar contains no calories, while recent survey shows that the addition of apple cider vinegar at every meal increases the feeling of satiety and stabilizes blood sugar levels!




  • Lentils: Lentils have a lot of protein and iron, two ingredients that can stabilize glucose levels in your blood and prevent the secretion of insulin, which causes the storage of fat in the body and especially in the abdomen.




  • Garlic: It dissolves fat and cholesterol, kills bacteria and protects against cardiovascular disease. What is more, the meals that include garlic reduce the appetite. According to a study, obese people who included garlic in their diet lost an average of 18 pounds compared to others who just lost 2 pounds! Also, the powerful flavour of garlic makes the food tastier and increases satiety.




  • Coffee: It has the power to speed up your metabolism. The caffeine it contains, increases the rate of your metabolism by 15%, which means that you burn 30-50 extra calories every day without changing anything else.




  • Cauliflower: Cauliflower is an excellent source of vitamin C. Just half a cup of cauliflower, provides 36% of your daily needs for vitamin C. Additionally, this vegetable fights cancer and has very few calories.




  • Tomatoes: Every time you eat a tomato, your body releases the hormone cholecystokinin, which stretches the valve between the stomach and intestine. This leads to increased satiety and helps you reduce your daily calorie intake.

    Natural Juice Diet For Weight Loss

    Can you really use natural juice recipes for weight loss and a healthier body? Yes in the short term but you would not want to rely on freshly squeezed juices for the rest of your life. If you need to lose a few pounds in a hurry going on a juice fast may be the answer.

    You can lose as much as three or four pounds in the first couple of days.Going on a juice diet is very similar to going on a detox plan. Instead of eating lots of raw fruit and vegetables, you are going to be drinking their juices.


    The idea is that you still get lots of vitamins and minerals whilst losing weight. But recent studies have shown that as sugar is concentrated in fruit and to a lesser extent vegetable juices, you would actually be better eating the whole fruit or vegetable.Different juice recipes for weight loss include cucumber juice, tomato juice, carrot juice, and apple and celery juice. Some people add protein powder to the juice in order to make it more filling. Over the long term you do not want to rely solely on juices. Your teeth will suffer due to the acid and sugar in the juices not to mention your intake of the vitamins and nutrients you need for good health will be compromised.
    You should aim to improve your overall eating habits. By all means try a juice diet for a couple of days to kick-start your weight loss. But developing a healthy lifestyle involves more than buying a juicer. You need to become more active to get those pounds shifted. Start with an exercise you enjoy and then vary the routine to prevent boredom settling in. Some exercises are better at fat burning than others so it makes sense to try different activities.
    Instead of juices, you could choose to have soup several times a week. You can't have packet or tinned soup though as these can contain hidden fats and sugars not to mention a ton of sodium. By soups we mean the homemade variety. Soups are made with vegetables and pulses, both key ingredients in a healthy lifestyle. Don't be tempted to add salt to your soup. Use herbs to flavour it instead. If the recipe calls for milk or cream, use skimmed milk or low fat yogurt instead. And needless to say, you need to forget about eating bread with this soup.
    Drink plenty of water to keep your system hydrated. This is especially important when you suddenly increase the amount of fiber in your diet as otherwise you can end up constipated. You should be aiming for at least 8 glasses of water a day. Drinking lots of water will also help you to eat less thus reducing calorie intake.
