Are Brief Workouts Effective for Fat Loss as You Get Older?

admin — Sat, 04 Sep 2010 12:12:47 +0000

There is something to be said for brief workouts. Back in the 80's, when I joined my first gym, it was common for workouts to last over 90 minutes. In college I would train up to 2 hours per day with a group of friends. We would spend 90 minutes lifting and 30 minutes on cardio. The routine was "3 days on and 1 day off". Although that was WAY too much time in the gym, each of us was in great condition. With that much time sweating and burning calories, it was bound to work. The problem was that our workouts weren't time efficient. With a few less beers per week and less calories, we could have got the same results with about 1/2 the amount of time spent in the gym. In fact, with enough intensity and with a proper diet I believe I could have maintained a low body fat percentage just training a few times per week. Although a few intense brief workouts are enough for a 20 year old to stay ripped, I believe the rules are different for a 40 year old.

[The time element of training is rarely discussed. Usually it is just assumed that less time training is better. If you are in your mid 30's or older, I think you might need to question this assumption.]

Raging Hormones, High Metabolism, and "Naturally Active"…

This past August, I spent the majority of the month on a West Coast road trip (one of the reasons I haven't posted in a while). About a week into our road trip we reached Huntington Beach, CA. This is one of California's prime surf beaches. Anyway, one thing I noticed was how the majority of the young surfers were lean and fit just as a natural result of their circumstances. Not only did these young surfers have higher levels of HGH than the older people on the beach, they were out in the water for 4-6 hours at a time. No wonder why they were in such outstanding shape. This isn't a big breakthrough or anything, but it made me think more about age and fitness.

Why Are Young People Typically Lean Without Trying?

I know this is a generalization, but people in their early 20's are typically lean with very little effort. On our road trip, we stayed in Sedona, AZ for a few days and went to a cliff diving spot called "Grasshopper Point". There was a group of college kids chugging beer and then doing crazy flips off of some pretty darn high cliffs. With only 1-2 exceptions all of these young people were in outstanding condition. You could tell they probably did a bit of training, but staying lean was probably as easy deal for them. Again, not a huge discovery or anything, it just made me think about age and fat loss a bit more.

[Grasshopper Point is an amazing swimming hole. On one side of the river is a beach and the other side is a steep cliff. You swim across, climb up as high as you want up the red colored cliffs, and simply jump back into the water. A perfect summer day!]

Let's Discuss What Young People Have in Their Favor

So I am going to generalize a lot here. We have all seen overweight teens and naturally lean 50 year old's. I'm talking about averages here.

1) More Natural Physical Activity Each Week:

I will use myself as an example. Back in college I didn't have a car and walked everywhere. Heck, just walking to and from class took up over an hour of my day, 5 days a week. In addition to that, I would play volleyball or pickup basketball 2-3 times per week for 1-2 hours at a time. I would estimate that I spent 8-9 hours per week of exercise outside of my gym workouts. These days I'm lucky to get in 2 hours per week of exercise outside of my gym workouts. So 7 more hours of activity per week, even at a low intensity level, is significant. Now wonder it was a breeze to stay lean back then!

2) High HGH Levels

Young people are fat burning machines compared to their older counterparts. A big reason for this is the high levels of HGH in younger folk. HGH is a natural fat burning hormone and declines as one ages. Exercise can slow down this decline, but can't stop it from happening completely. Not only are the normal HGH levels higher in young people, my belief is that the "HGH response" to a workout is greater in younger people as well (not proven by a scientific study as far as I know, just a belief of mine based on experience).

3) A Higher Metabolism

The combination of being more active and producing more HGH typically means younger folk are burning more calories even when they aren't active. The average 20 year old also has more lean muscle than the average 40 year old and this helps a bit as well. No matter how you look at it, the typical 20 year old is burning more calories day to day than the average 40 year old. Whether it is attributed to hormones, muscle mass, activity, etc…it all adds up to more calories being burned over the course of a day by a 20 year old compared to a 40 year old.

[San Francisco is one of the coolest cities I've ever been to. I could easily see living here. A big city in an amazing location.]

Let's Examine if LESS Time Training is What You Need

I like the idea of brief and intense workouts, but is that going to get the job done? If you are over 30 and struggling to get as lean as you were in your teens and 20's, it could be that you simply aren't active enough each week. Is training less the smartest approach to dropping that excess body fat? In my opinion there is a very good possibility that you need to spend a little bit more time in the gym, not less…especially if you aren't as active as you were in your younger days.

You Can Only Diet So Hard Before You Are Starving Yourself

I do believe that diet is the first thing to look at when you are trying to get lean, but there is a lower limit. If you cut back the calories too far, you will become malnourished. It is okay to eat slightly less than maintenance levels, but much lower than that for long periods of time is a terrible strategy. When reducing calories there is a lower limit. Even if you still need to lose body fat, it isn't wise to go far below this lower limit for long periods of time.

There is An Upper Limit to Workout Intensity

If you perform too many intense workouts per week, you will over-train. You will break your body down at a faster rate than it can repair itself. To be honest, even a few ultra intense workouts per week can result in over-training. There is an upper limit to intensity that can't be breached, even if you still have a lot of fat to lose.

["Redlining" is a term I like to use when someone is eating below maintenance level calories and training intensely, but is unable to lose any more weight.]

When You Reach the Limits of Diet and Workout Intensity?

What variable can you adjust if you are at your limits with diet and workout intensity? You can adjust the amount of time you train. This is logical, but it isn't discussed much. If you are stuck at a certain body weight, simply add in 30-90 minutes per week to your training and you will lose weight again. This has to be lower intensity training, if you are close to your upper limits already in terms of training intensity.

Why Cardio Is a Potent Tool for Fat Loss, In My Opinion

Cardio, whether it means walking outside or on a treadmill, is the perfect way to add in more activity without over-training. I like body weight circuits and HIIT and other versions of intense intervals, but there is a limit to how much I can do before I over-train. If I am still not losing as much body fat as I would like, I can't simply increase the intensity or I will burn out. What I can do is extend the amount of time I do steady state cardio after I do HIIT, or I can add in walking for 1-2 hours per week.

What Training in the 80's Taught Me

The big thing in the 80's was to bulk up in the winter and cut down right before summer. I don't think this is a great strategy, but it taught me quite a bit about dropping body fat. One thing I learned about fat loss was, given enough time on the treadmill or exercise bike and you can get as lean as you desire. This was before HIIT was known by the fitness community. Back then you would do steady state cardio for an hour per day, while eating a low fat diet to get extremely lean. It wasn't time efficient, but it worked. I even read about bodybuilders who would walk on a treadmill an hour in the morning and an hour at night to reach ultra-low body fat levels.

Steady State Cardio is the Great Equalizer

Unlike the 80's, I don't think it is smart to use steady state cardio as your main method of losing body fat. It simply isn't as time efficient as HIIT or other form of interval training. What I am saying is that if you are dieting properly and doing brief intense training along with HIIT, then it makes sense to add in lower intensity steady state cardio. Steady state cardio is one way a 40 year old can get as lean as a 20 year old. Steady state cardio will make up for the fact that you are less active and your HGH levels aren't as high, etc…this is why I call it the great equalizer. It is the ideal supplementary exercise to give that small extra push needed to burn off that little bit of stubborn body fat that many can't seem to lose when they get older.

If You Are Training Hard, But Are Stuck at a Certain Weight

So if you are training hard already and your diet is dialed in, then my advice is to train a little more than you are training now. It doesn't have to be time spent in the gym…it could be walking 2-3 times per week, in addition to what you are doing now. Another approach is to just add 15 more minutes of steady state cardio to what you are doing now. Again, make sure you get everything optimum and as time efficient as possible before adding in additional steady state cardio. The goal isn't to live in the gym or train non-stop. It is to get in shape.

Note: Sorry it has been so long since my last post. I had good intentions of getting posts done before my road trip, but ran out of time. Has a blast. I highly recommend Sedona as well as Huntington, for a full blown vacation. As far as places to live, San Francisco looked outstanding and hard to beat.

Buy The Exercise Equipment

admin — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 04:10:38 +0000

Read the following article if you want to buy the Exercise Equipment. One of the exercise equipments is treadmill. A treadmill is a piece of sports equipment on which it runs. The tape can be, depending on the model in various speeds and angles set, or allow the retrieval of programmed exercise programs (such as cross country or driving game). The top speed is usually under 20 km / h. Treadmills are usually developed by electric motors powered. There is no risk in running about the band to pinch, as the distance between the band and housing only a few millimeters. There are also treadmills, which have no engine and move through their own speed. Some have it on a drive wheel, by the additional momentum created.

The other Exercise Equipment is dumbbell. A dumbbell is a piece of sports equipment, which is usually from a pole and two at the ends of fixed weights in the form of balls or discs there. Light weights are used in the gym and the fitness training, free weights, heavy weights during weight training and bodybuilding.

About Viagra by Pfizer

admin — Sat, 21 Aug 2010 10:08:47 +0000

Sildenafil is developing by Pfizer (known as Viagra by Pfizer). Sildenafil prevents cGMP-specific (cyclic guanosine monophosphate) phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5), which normally prevents cGMP cavernosal. cGMP has the cavernosal arteries broad impact. cGMP cavernosal volume is increased when sexual arousal will be released cavernosal nitric oxide (NO) the parasympathetic nervous system activation time. The nitric oxide bound to receptors, cGMP when the number is increasing. Sildenafil is rapidly absorbed after oral administration and its bioavailability is approximately 40%.

It is metabolized primarily in the liver by cytochrome P450 3A4 enzyme to an inactive metabolite, which has the same effect as sildenafil. P450 3A4: AA inhibiting drugs (such as erythromycin and ketoconazole) increase the plasma concentrations of sildenafil, including cimetidine increased plasma concentrations of sildenafil. It is including the elderly, plasma concentrations rise higher. Sildenafil and its active metabolite are about four hours. Sildenafil is excreted as metabolites predominantly in the faeces, to a lesser extent in the urine. The dose is 25-100 mg. Onset of about -1 hours, and lasts about four hours. If the dose has taken a big meal, take a longer onset. Sildenafil should not be used more than once a day. To get the complete viagra articles, always-health.com is the site that you have to visit.

Remember Recess and Summers as a Kid? That is When Exercise Was Fun!

admin — Fri, 13 Aug 2010 22:55:42 +0000

Mark Sisson, over at one of my favorite sites, recently wrote a post called Grok Tag. It is so well written because his description of recess is "spot on". I lived for recess back in Elementary School! It was a blast. I remember basically doing all activities full throttle and having fun no matter what we were doing. This article is not a tip or anything like that. I just wanted to back Mark's message from his recent post.

[I will never be too old to enjoy a great rope swing! I need to find a great one this summer...and a good place for cliff diving. This stuff never gets old!]

I Have a Love-Hate Relationship With Technology!

I like the Internet, the convenience of cell phones, On Demand TV and things like that…but it make me a little sad that kids are missing out on a lot of playing outside. When I was a kid video games were around, but they weren't such a major focus. I typically played outside until I dropped and then would occasionally play a video game maybe 1-2 times per week. Oh yeah…and I was fine going through the day without constantly having to hear my favorite music. Am I sounding old?

Dodgeball, Waterballoon Wars, BMX Riding, etc.

I heard that kids aren't allowed to play dodgeball anymore. I think we had 4-5 different types of dodgeball (Free Dodge Ball, Indian Doge Ball, Soak Em', etc). If I was in charge dodgeball would be encouraged in all schools (maybe not mandatory). Many other rowdy activities are now discouraged at school. We played a game where a football would get thrown up in the air and whoever caught it was a target to get tackled by the mob of kids. Another game was playing soccer and whoever was dribbling the ball would be a target for everyone to "slide tackle". Slide tackling was BIG when I was in 4th-6th grade!

Mark's Post Reminded ME of How Much Energy We Had!

There were a lot of games that involved full-blown sprinting back then. Tag was one of the games that really got kids sprinting. I talk about "HGH Flush" on this site (being short of breath, skin gets red and hot to the touch). Tag creates a huge HGH Flush! I love the energy that Tag creates especially when you are being chased. For some reason you can push past the pain barrier when you are trying to escape.

Tag is NOW Getting Banned in Schools!!!!

Pretty soon they are going to be cutting rope swings down! I am sad and a little angry. I am going to support Mark's message about "letting kids be kids". Please head on over to his site and read his outstanding article on the subject—>Grok Tag . Mark has actually designed a workout that involves Tag, Burpees, and Pushups. This is thinking outside of the box and is probably one of the best blog posts I have read in a long time.

Note: I have been posting a little less than normal lately…I will do my best to increase the amount of posts. I'm just finishing up on a project that is taking a lot of my time right now.

Adjustable-waist Gluttony Pants let you make a pig of yourself

admin — Mon, 09 Aug 2010 12:19:21 +0000

Image by Betabrand

Forget the phrase “You are what you eat.” Now it’s “You are how much you eat.”

At least that’s the message given by the new Gluttony Pants, designed (with a sick sense of humor) by San Francisco-based chef and former Iron Chef contestant Chris Cosentino for Betabrand. Gluttony Pants are made with three buttons on the waist to allow for more, how shall I say, wiggle room in your eating experience.

In other words: How piggy are you feeling today?

Each button has an embroidered label for the level of how much “pigging out” you’re in the mood for.

If you’re just planning a minor binge, use the “Piglet” button. Wanting to reject any sense of a diet? Go for the “Sow” button, or worse, the “Boar.” The trousers come with a coordinating burgundy napkin in case things get messy.

As a gag gift or a good conversation piece, these adjustable-waist pants can’t go wrong (though the $100 price tag makes them a bit pricey for white elephant gift exchanges).

But if you’re contemplating the practicality of the one-size-fits-all-appetites pants, you may want to stay far away from this gluttonous garb — and consider your state of mind before next stepping up to the feeding trough.

iPads to be Trialed for Use in Medical Education

admin — Sun, 08 Aug 2010 12:41:32 +0000

Students commencing medical school and master’s of medicine program at Stanford this year will all get an Apple iPad. The school is trialing a program to see whether the devices are practical to integrate into the academic curriculum.

Before you dismiss this as medical education being sacrificied in the name of fanboy hype, consider this — when some of our editors were in medical school, the semesterly (mandatory) fee for handouts and photocopies was about the cost of a lower-end iPad. And that was years ago. We can only imagine the charges now. So moving the medical education culture of endless handouts and notebooks over to a compact tablet device could be very smart. More from Stanford officials:

The decision to provide the devices was prompted by a desire to give students flexible access to the content that they need whether it is a virtual cadaver in dissection lab, annotated lecture slides and videos in the classroom, or journal articles for evidence-based practice in clinic.

“We want to explore the use of iPads and other technologies to help students access the enormous amount of medical knowledge that is being produced constantly,” said Charles Prober, MD, the school’s senior associate dean for medical education. “Part of the challenge facing medical students, and all doctors, is the overwhelming amount of information. Devices like the iPad may be able to help users access that pool of knowledge.”

The school will monitor the use of the iPads through regular surveys to help determine how helpful they are to students, pointing out that past experiments with similar electronic devices, such as the Kindle, in academic settings haven’t been successful.

“We really don’t know yet how the incoming medical students will use them,” said Henry Lowe, MD, senior associate dean for information resources and technology. But, as a physician using an iPad himself, he’s found the device to be extremely helpful and believes it is growing in popularity among doctors.

“Physicians are a mobile group,” Lowe said. “They’re moving around from clinic to clinic, from patient to patient. … I’ve seen a variety of reports from across the country saying that physicians have seized on the iPad as a helpful device.”

Are Push Ups Necessary if You Have Access to Free Weights?

admin — Sat, 07 Aug 2010 12:15:21 +0000

People who have trained in the gym for years often look at something like the simple push up as a beginner's exercise. I mean, why would they want to perform push ups when they can get a "real" chest workout with heavy sets of bench presses. This is a big mistake, and one that I have been guilty of. It is easy to look at the simple push up as working the exact same muscles as the bench press, but with less resistance. I would like to talk about why you should include the push up in your routine, even if you are someone who trains with free weights.

[Here are a few guys "benching" on the edge of the River Thames in London using decent form. Yes...a bad joke, but better than the typical bench press article picture...a bulky guy in a lifting suit bench pressing a ton with his face as red as a beet.]

What I Never Knew About Push Ups

Before I talk about the push up, I'd like to give thanks to Chris over at Conditioning Research for linking to a great article. I've said it many times on this site, but it amazes me about how Chris stays on top of all of the recent info in the Fitness industry. His site is outstanding and I would recommend subscribing to his RSS feed. What I want to do is link to the same article, but just highlight some of the points I find interesting. I'll also include a few video clips and then lets discuss this in the comment section. Here's the full push up article: What You Dont Know About the Push-up.

Push Ups Balance Upper Back Strength With Chest

Ever see a guy who benches too much and his shoulders are pulled forward? Or a guy with large pecs and bad back development? Well, push ups can work the upper back in ways that a benching cannot. The scapula is allowed to go through a full range of motion with push ups, but is constricted in all forms of bench pressing. When the scapula goes through its full range of motion with push ups, it fills in the area in between the shoulder blades (upper and lower trap thickness). It also develops the serratus muscle, which frame the lower chest and abs to a certain extent.

The Most Important Part of the Push Up

Ever hear this saying…"you don't know what you don't know"? I had no idea that the very top of the push up was the most important part. The scapula won't fully contract until the elbows are all the way locked out. What you need to do is push to lockout and then make sure your upper back isn't sagging down at the top. Here is a video of Zach Dechant showing proper form.

[So the lockout is important. Notice how his upper back isn't sagging downward. You want to continue to push shoulders towards the floor even at the top of the movement.]

Push Ups for Better Abs and Obliques?

So I knew that push ups worked the abs in a way that is similar to planks. Here is what I didn't know… According to Jeffrey McBride, push ups work the obliques better than side bridges. So not only do push ups work the serratus muscles, they work the obliques extremely well. These are the muscle groups which "frame" your abs. Here is a highly scientific, textbook style diagram…

[Most of us are lagging in a bit in this area. Push Ups will help tighten up this part of your midsection. Another good exercise if you want to tighten up your obliques is Renegade Rows (link to an article on this blog).]

Do You Like to Throw Things?

…well push ups will also work your "throwing muscles" much better than the bench press. This works for any sports that involve throwing…football, baseball, softball, etc. Go over and read Zach's article because he goes over this in detail. Zach is a coach at TCU for both baseball and football. Here is his stance on push ups with athletes who throw…"At TCU, our baseball athletes and quarterbacks incorporate some form of the push-up year round in their training. At various times, we even eliminate all forms of pressing in lieu of the push-up and its many variations."

How to Make the Push Up More Challenging

Obviously one way to make the push up quite a bit more challenging is to do them with one arm. I have a whole post dedicated on mastering the one arm push up, but these work the muscles in a different manner than using two arms. Here are some videos demonstrating a few ways to make the two-arm push up more challenging.

Walkover Push Ups

[Stack two Olympic plates. Start with one hand on the floor, perform a push up and then walk across the plates and perform another push up. Extend all the way to the top before walking across the plates. Beginner start with 5 reps and will work up to 10+ per side. This exercise really works the scapular area (around the shoulder blades).]

Chain X Push Ups

[Criss-Cross chains on your back and perform regular push ups. You can use longer chains where a lot of the weight is on the floor at the bottom. There will be an increasing amount of resistance as you get closer to the top, as more chain links will get pulled off of the floor. The greatest resistance will be at the top of the movement. This strength transfers well if you want to increase your numbers in the bench and military press.]

Explosive Push Up Jumps

[Zach believes these to be the best serratus exercise by far. These are to be done for high reps. The reason you want a band to assist is that you are aiming to do most of your pushing towards the top of the movement. When you simply do explosive push ups, most of your effort it at the beginning of the movement. When done properly, Zach claims your serratus will be worked so intensely that it will feel like you have broken ribs the next day. Obviously he doesn't mean that literally, but you get the point.]

Lateral Band Push Up Walks

[This one is the better for mid-back and shoulders than any of the other push up variations, because you have to continually spread the band. I haven't done these yet, but they look awesome. You put a light ankle band around the wrists, take 3 lateral steps and perform 1 push up. Take 3 more lateral steps and perform another push up. Begin by aiming to get 5 push ups per side for a total of 10. I can see how this would quickly make your entire upper body thicker due to working both your chest, delts and mid back so well, all in the same exercise.]

So Include Push Ups for Full Upper Body Development

Again…this is yet another example of how body weight movements work a larger group of muscles than similar free weight lifts. I still plan on lifting with free weights due to the fact that you can overload specific muscle groups, but will supplement them with more body weight movements. Also, those of you doing TACFIT or other body weight routines are probably getting a much more complete workout than it would first appear.

Check Out Zach Dechant's Blog…

The first link is a guest post he put up on another site. His personal blog is here: Zach Dechant Sports Performance Training. I have never communicated with Zach, but appreciate the content he has so far on his site. He is a conditioning coach for baseball & football, at TCU. Really good info, especially for those who are interested in improving in "throwing sports". Stop on by his site for some innovative training tips…not anything like the typical fitness info you have heard a zillion times.
