Study on Depress and Fitenss

Sauna Suit

Dude, plastic running suits are oh so, “Ooh La Garbage Chic.” That’s French-gay for it’s made only for trash and not for hot sexy man sweat! Heavy sweats won’t help you shed fat either. Those plastic spacesuits are better suited for the moon than for burning fat. But they will quickly dehydrate you and make you delirious. As they did with Martine Lawrence, in August 1999, when he fell into a coma from dehydration on Reseda Boulevard. His people said he was wearing heavy sweats. Entertainment Tonight reported dude was in a silver-plastic track suit. He should have had a besty.

Summer Ready Abs

Spinners and Real Cyclist

Do you want to live longer, or are you just blowing off some steam?  A recent study comes from Copenhagen, Denmark involves the exercise mode of cycling. The Denmark researchers wanted to investigate intensity of the cycling. The study concluded that relative intensity, rather than duration, is a greater factor at increasing or extending life span. In the study, men who did fast-intensity cycling lived 5.3 years longer, and men who did average-intensity cycling lived 2.9 years longer than subjects who did slow pedaling. The figures for women were 3.9 years and 2.2 years longer, respectively. This study seemed kinda murky. The group of scientist were not disclosed, nor the number of  participants, but in theory this sounds right. When you increase your EPOC (Exercise-Post Oxygen Consumption) it creates a change reaction of benefits.

The progress is in the details.

Do you workout all the time? I mean all the time and wonder why your body doesn’t change? I know it sucks to admit. Maybe nothing that you’re doing at the gym is wrong? Maybe your diet is on point? Maybe it’s one or two beers very night?   This isn’t about  fault; this is about information. Record weight, reps and sets of all exercises for the future reference. Be as detailed as possible. Include what you ate and your energy levels. Keeping track of your warm-up and cool-down routine. Note your progress and star your personal records. One star meaning average, two stars above average, three stars meaning you loved the workout!  Jot down any pains or injuries that affected your training sessions. Detailed notes allow you to continually check your progress. Valuable information traced back to prior routines and past workouts helps develop highly effective routines. Utilize a detailed training journal to increase the efficiency of your training. You can do it right on your phone.

Kitty Phoenix Agility

Come on Kitty-Phoenix get to jumping! A Kitty-Phoenix has nine lives and rises from the ashes. Functional ketttelbell training consists of a wide assortment of multi-joint exercise. Jumping kettlebell swings develop explosive power needed for sports, including fast-paced Kitty Phoenix intuition, when you need be functional on your feet in a split second. Kettlebell jumping exercises recruit multiple muscles to work in unison. High repetition, forward and backward jumping kettlebell swings maximally stress the anterior hips and calves. Side jumping kettlebell swings in alternating directions target the lateral hips and thighs. Jumping with velocity with a moving weight requires balance and coordination. The balance, coordination and explosiveness built through jumping kettlebell exercises benefit the function person that has to be light on their feet like a Kitty Phoenix.

Lactic Acid your secret weapon!

Lactate, otherwise known as Lactic Acid is a key hormone, and you thought it was just that crap that made your muscles burn– well it does that too, but its potential is much more than that. The January 2009 Journal of Biological Chemistry recently described  a lactate receptor called GPR81, confirming it’s hormone-like action. Other studies, June 2001 Journal of cellular Biochemistry; July 2009 British Journal of Sport Medicine, have shown lactic acid can directly stimulate release of testosterone and HGH.

That burn in your muscle that you feel when you are doing an intense set of arm curls — making them feel like you someone pored hot coffee on your arms while you are doing the pee-pee-dance — is useful. Lactic Acid has three functions. 1: as an alternate fuel source, 2: to increase mitochondrial generation (the energy factories in the cells), 3: this is the most important because it helps with skin and muscle tone–it stimulates release of growth promoting hormones, for example HGH and testosterone, Interleukin-15 otherwise known as IL-15, and Interleukin-6, otherwise known, as IL-6.

So now that “Miss Lactic Acid” is out of the closet– let’s be clear. She does not cause muscle fatigue and does not cause soreness. Miss Lactic Acid is a kick ass hormone that fuels the muscle. She is like a booty-call that has no time for small talk, so after she is done doing her deal, Miss Lactic Acid is flushed out of your muscle. The muscle fatigue is from the inflammation that the trauma of  ”hit-it,” like a rock star.

So go for the burn (well unless it’s gonorrhea, which is a really bad thing), but when you are working out, the burn will help bring about metabolic-failure. This term is  used to describe the need to stop because of an intense burn in the muscles, not necessarily because the weight is too heavy. This is directly related to the lactic acid generation and how much growth hormone and testosterone the trainee will generate.

Just take this Job and Shove it!

Do you feel like you’re in a dead-end job and you want to tell your boss to shove it? Are you feeling more like lilac  than your normal iridescent self? The best response to depression is fitness. John Bartholomew, PhD, associate professor in the department of kinesiology and health education at The University of Texas at Austin said low- to medium-intensity is the minimum dose to feel better.  Now we all feel shitty sometimes in our lives. His study looked at 30 minutes of treadmill walking and 30 minutes of quiet rest, in 40 people with recently diagnosed depression. None of the subjects had been regularly exercising or taking antidepressants. Both groups reported feeling less tension, less depression, and less anger and fatigue. However, only the exercising participants reported having an increased sense of well-being, of feeling good.
