Abs Crunch v Munch

Abs Crunch v Munch Perhaps the most longed after of all muscle groups, a set of perfect abs is, to many, the pinnacle of their health and fitness goals. But how do we reach these heights? How do we get a great set of abs, and what’s the trade of between diet and exercise? In this article we look at all of the issues, and we highlight the relative importance of the crunch (workouts) against the munch (diet). Strategy There might be some time to go before summer comes around again, but that time should be used wisely. You need to formulate and document a plan of action and start implementing it now. Getting a great 6-pack isn’t easy, otherwise we’d all have them. The time to start is yesterday. Diet If you have belly fat, then you will never see your abs, regardless of how hard you train them. In fact you need a body fat percentage of around 10% or less, and that in itself is not any easy thing to achieve. If you are not watching what you eat and drink (they are called beer bellies for a reason), then you may as well forget your dream 6-pack. Diet is probably considered the number one factor when it comes to abs. You need to eat clean, and watch those… Calories You need to be calorie deficient to lose weight i.e. burn more than you consume. So start by working out how many you eat and how and you expend exercising. Then try to get to a deficiency of around 500 per day which should lose you 1lb of fat per week. Remember though, it is easier to eat 500 less than burn 500 more exercising, and if you don’t believe this, just think 2 slices of pizza or 1 hour moderate cycling… Content It isn’t just how many calories but where they come from. Cut out refined sugar, and go for wholesome filling none processed foods, reduce your salt and focus on a good source of clean protein â€" the food for muscles. You need a source of fat for your body to function properly, but use natural not hydrogenated, and not too much. Work Once you have resolved the issue of diet, and your food intake, you will need to train! Exercise not only helps with the calorie deficiency aims, it also is necessary to target all muscle groups â€" including the abs. However, only doing crunches will not help. Yes they have a place but you need to have a holistic approach. You will need to undertake full body training, targeting muscle development, as this helps your metabolism which in turn helps your body. As well as weight training, you’ll need a good source of cardio, to keep your heart healthy and your body clean. High Interval Impact Training or HIIT, gives great bursts of cardio in short periods, or you may prefer the tradition of hitting the road/treadmill. Check out https://www.payasugym.com/ for deals on flexible gym memberships, which should help you considerably along the way. Then you’ll need exercises specific to the abs. Think of core based exercises such as the plank, leg raises/rotation, crunches, v-sits, and the old favourite sit ups. Focus on your core, including your obliques, and aim to target the top, middle and bottom abs. They say that abs are made in the kitchen â€" but the reality is that they are made by choice. You need to make the right choices when it comes to diet and you’ll need to choose the right level and form of exercise. No it isn’t easy, but then it will be more than worth it. Good luck.

How Employee Engagement Impacts the Bottom Line

How Employee Engagement Impacts the Bottom Line Did you know that 75% of employees leave because they dont get on with their manager? Lots of people are disengaged at work  for various reasons and one  way to address this could be implementing an employee engagement strategy. What exactly is employee engagement? Employee engagement is a workplace approach designed to ensure that employees are committed to their organisations goals and values, motivated to contribute to organisational success, and are able at the same time to enhance their own sense of well-being.  MacLeod Report Bottom line impact of employee engagement: Did you realise that employee engagement can actually help the bottom of line of your company? Organisations in the top quartile for engagement (where more than 7 in 10 employees are engaged) saw a 4% increase in sales growth compared to an average company. By contrast, bottom quartile engagement companies were down -1% (Aon Hewitt). The way that employees align themselves with the companies core values has a direct effect on bottom line profits (Employee Engagement Facts). In 42% of organisations, low performers are actually more engaged than high middle performers (5 Myths of Employee Engagement). Have a look  at the graphic below from Newsweaver for more.

The Healing Power Of Running

The Healing Power Of Running When your life is pretty good: you have a good job, loving family or your loved one is always near you what else you can wish for your life! You have a lot of friends and you feel comfortable among colleagues at work, you are interesting to other people and people would like to meet you â€" what could be better to be in the center of attention. But in a moment everything can change dramatically. It may happen that youve gotten hurt… The injury is serious… From this moment you change and the world around you also changes. I know what Im talking about. I had such a terrible situation in my life when I lost everything and first of all, I lost myself. Great Depression… What can help?  When I`ve hurt my leg in a car accident I had the open fracture, my bone was crushed and my ankle was also dislocated. I got to the hospital and spent there more than two months. It was a complicated surgery and a long period of recovery. The doctors said that I would use a cane probably for the rest of my life and I would hardly walk normally. I was desperate and I didnt know how to go on living. Of course, my nearest and dearest people tried to help me at that moment. They always tried to be near and supported me, but at that time I didnt want to see anybody. I had a horrible depression as I couldnt live like before. Then one article got me interested. It was about a girl with HIV who became running every day and then began to take part in the marathons around the world. She got a lot of awards and became a winner in several races. So, I thought that if the person with the incurable disease not to lose faith in her and her capacities if she continued her fighting with infliction why I kept my chin up and gave up on myself. I hadnt a terrible disease and my leg wasnt amputated, fortunately, I was only limping for a few months after the hospital and thats all! Running Through The Pain  After this article I thought about this brave girl constantly â€" her strength of will inspired me. I decided to start running. At first, I wasnt sure that I could do that. Thus, I bought a treadmill and some good running shoes and started warming up my legs very slowly and carefully. At that time I used a walking stick and I couldnt do without it, but when I trained I tried to put it aside. I dont want to remember my first workouts. Even now remembering those workouts I want to cry. They were awful… They were difficult and so painful. I won`t hide I thought to stop the training, but I remembered that girl and I remembered her every time when negative thoughts crossed my mind. It gave me the power to continue my work… my work of getting over myself, over my fear and over my pain. I started with the training which lasted only 10 minutes, but gradually I increased that time to 50 minutes. It was my first own record. Finally, in three months the result was brilliant. I stopped limping and began to walk normally! My everyday exercises (sometimes I tried to work out two or three times a day) allowed me to throw away my walking stick and I confidently stepped along the street. Big Victory Over Yourself  When I could do without the cane I decided to train in the open air and transferred my home workouts in the park. And it was my second record! Since then I cant imagine my life without running. I train in the park twice a day â€" in the morning and in the evening. Commonly my training lasts 45 â€" 50 minutes.   The use of a fitness tracker is essential.   I try to use different types of run every 10 minutes (I start my training with a slower run and next 10 or 15 minutes I increase my rate to 10-minute-per-mile, then I change slower and faster run, of course, I can use power walking during the workout it`s also a useful thing). I   have complicated my training gradually to get the best results as today I also want to take part in the running marathon firstly in my city. It will be just the beginning for me. So, I hope my story makes you think about life. Sometimes we find ourselves in hopeless situations as it seems to us. But reading this article you must realize that there arent hopeless situations sometimes we dont want to find a way out. If you want to change something in your life that`s up to you! The key thing is never to lose heart and you can overcome all difficulties in life! Written by Andrew Guerra
