Nude Aerobics Yoga?

by Melvin Chua

Nude aerobics yoga may sound vulgar, offensive and impossible but it does exists. A lot of people may not practice doing this but there are some who would really prefer doing nude aerobics yoga.

Nude aerobics yoga may imply something not applicable to some culture and society. There are some places that might not respect that kind of practice.

They say nudity is healthy natural. Those who do nude aerobics yoga say that clothes keep them disturbed and it prevents the flow of air in getting inside the body. This may be funny but they really think it that way. For them, wearing clothes is like an excess baggage.

Some cant even carry out yoga with their clothes on. If this is the case, a lot of people will be intimidated or perhaps be interested in doing nude aerobics yoga.

Somehow, this brings some negative effects in the people or group doing this kind of practice. Some might think that they will take nude aerobics yoga for fun and for some other reasons which goes beyond imagination.

Clothes are considered an art in yoga exercises. Without clothes, where would art take place? Did they say that the body is considered the art, not mentioning nudity?

Nude aerobics yoga is believed to be a clean exercise because people believed that wearing clothes invited and encouraged the proliferation of microscopic fungi and bacteria. This is acquired in warm and humid temperature and circumstances.

When the temperature is warm, they are able to interfere with the natural body temperature of our control mechanism. This makes some of the parts hotter than the others.

People who do nude aerobics yoga can freely sweat and not be absorbed by cotton. This may sound gross but they claimed that people who perspire in clothes smell bad. Sweaty clothes are not pleasing to our nose. That is a fact. But those who perspire naturally smell better.

Wearing shorts and trousers will raise the temperature of the testicles for the male. This then results to hinder the growth of sperm and the male hormones which reduces fertility. This can also cause impotence to both genders.

Looking back to the early generation, nudity was our natural condition as they say. It was also added that nudity adds to the physical and emotional health of the individual. The main reason why people love doing nude aerobics yoga is because it feels great. A lot of them have alleged the same reasons and they really stand for it. Nude aerobics yoga lets you articulate your natural emotions and let you speak for yourself. After all, its nice to feel the natural air slapping on your skin and feeling the sweat roughly come out of the inside.

At first it may be too cognizant to practice the nude aerobics yoga but once you get the hang of it, you will feel that it is nourishing and exfoliating. You will realize after that doing this exercise is not that gross as what you think. Later on you will feel its effect on your body and it wouldnt be surprising to see that your body has changed because you have bared it all.

It is now time to change your viewpoint in life and go on a different level. After you have experienced all the styles of yoga, try the nude aerobics yoga and have that nice feel.

Do You Really Need Another Fat Burning Tip?

by Terje Brooks Ellingsen

People concerned about losing weight and burning fat tend to be overloaded with weight loss and diet information. The result is almost paralyzing; instead of doing something with their excess weight, they have their brains full of different and often contradictory tips and do not know where to begin. “Not another weight loss or fat burning tip ” many will say. However, I will give you not one but four more fat burning tips or ways to increase metabolism. The clue is to try them out for at least a month. If you do you will see results.

Do your workout in increments

Most people are stressed and pressed for time. They feel that workout and exercise just add to their stress factors, although they know it is good for the body as well as for the mind. This way, they go through their day with a burden of bad consciousness. Well if you are among them, I have some good news for you: Studies have shown that two short periods of workout per day will actually stimulate the metabolism and burn fat more than in one longer period. So if you go for a 15 minute walk first in the morning before work and then another one at lunch or evening times five days per week youll see progress at the end of 30 days. I promise that you will burn fat.

Never skip Your breakfast

Many dieting experts state that the breakfast is the most important meal. Therefore it is amazing that so many people think theyre doing the right thing by skipping breakfast. Do not sleep through the night and then deprive your body of food in the morning. This will only cause your bodys senses to have a potential famine and then the body holds on to stored body fat to survive. If you eat, your body will produce heat. And heat will increase your metabolism.

Calorie Cycling

Many people have used this tip with incredible success. Find out what your minimum calorie requirement is, based on your height and weight. Now, consume this amount for three days. On the fourth day increase your calorie intake by an additional 400 calories from nutritious foods like good protein, carbohydrates and fats. Lets say youre losing fat by consuming 1400 calories per day, simply raise your calories to 1800 on the fourth day. The nice about this method is that it can actually get the metabolism racing and thus stimulate additional fat loss.

Perform morning exercises

If you are a real food lover with a great appetite or cant fit workout into your schedule, do your exercise in the morning. Research has proven that people who exercise consistently in the morning will have their appetite regulated the rest of the day. The hunger feeling will decrease and the metabolism will speed up. This is a great way to start the day.

The Fitness Cardio Secret That Propels Lance Armstrong

by Jim O’Connor

What is Lance Armstrong doing that you can do to improve your results?

Most people exercise to lose weight, focusing solely on that one single goal. But wait, it is not only about looking aesthetically pleasing, getting in those tight jeans, or losing ten pounds. It is really about improving your health, and human performance.

Each day when you are huffing and puffing on the treadmill, focusing vigorously on keeping yourself lean, have you ever thought about what physically is occurring in your body besides burning a bunch of calories?

For improved results, more people need to stop focusing solely on calorie burn, and start thinking about improving such fitness values as VO2 Max, or maximum oxygen uptake.

What exactly is your VO2 Max? VO2 Max is defined as the highest rate at which oxygen can be taken in and used during high intensity dynamic exercise. When you are exercising aerobically on your treadmill, each and every muscle contraction requires oxygen to break down the fats, carbohydrates, and protein; thus, providing energy (ATP) needed to fuel the muscles in order for movement to occur.

Humans, at rest, need 3.5 ml of oxygen, every minute, for each kilogram of body weight just to support the cellular activities in the tissues that keep us alive.

Now let’s get back to our treadmill. As you increase the speed or incline (intensity), more oxygen is required to transfer the oxygen through the blood and into the muscles. Due to increased intensity during your exercise session, more oxygen is required to initiate the energy releasing process.

Now let’s take the treadmill up to a speed and incline where you can no longer catch your breath comfortably. The intensity has increase significantly, but you have reached an upper limit on the amount of oxygen you can take in. This is your VO2 Max.

VO2 Max values differ from individual to individual. Factors such as age, health, activity levels, training programs, and genetics all affect VO2 Max. A sedentary person has a VO2 Max of around 20 ml of oxygen per kilogram of body weight per minute of exercise. A highly trained endurance athlete can have a VO2 Max of 70 ml/kg/min.

Now why does Lance Armstrong win all those bike races? Yes, he has a great training program, a great coach, and great equipment. However, his genetics for an endurance athlete are nothing short of astounding. Do you know his VO2 Max measures around 83-85 ml/kg/min, while an average person’s is around 40? For Lance, his success is attributed to a combination of great training, will, desire, and unbelievable genetic makeup.

A Super Human Lance:

1. Lungs - 2 times the capacity of the average person

2. Muscle - Accumulates less lactic acid and is more efficient at

removing it.

3. Heart - Is about 1/3 larger with a resting heart rate of 32 beats per

minute, and peaks around 200 beats per minute.

4. Body Fat - 4-5 percent before the Tour starts, while an average

person has 15-20 percent.

5. Food Consumption - Needs 6500 calories per day, and upwards of

10,000 per day when biking in the mountains during his 120 mile race.

Truly amazing!

How do you improve VO2 Max? Improvement is seen by progressively challenging yourself aerobically with consistent workouts at 60% to 85% of your maximum heart rate (220-age) for an extended period of time. The most important variable is to continue attempting to increase intensity levels of your workouts. Progressively overloading is the key; your body will adapt, and improve your VO2 Max as well as burn more calories for decreased body fat.

Now you ask, how can I measure my VO2 Max?

For the most accurate measurement, you can go into a hospital, or a University Human Performance Lab and get the test. You will generally use a treadmill or a stationary bike, and be given an oxygen mask to measure your oxygen exchange. You will also be connected with chest electrodes to measure your heart response. The main objective is to walk, bike, or run as the intensity is progressively elevated until it is not possible to go any longer. (You should be cleared or monitored by your physician before attempting a VO2 Max test.)

The easier. but not as accurate way, is to do an estimated sub maximal aerobic capacity test.

The following is one of the many tests that can be used.

Find a 400 meter track, bring a stopwatch, and walk/run as fast as you can go for 12 minutes. Keep track of the number of meters you have gone in 12 minutes, and use the following formula.

Distance Covered in Meters - 504.9 / 44.730 = Estimated VO2 Max

Here is a rough guide:

4-5 laps covered, your VO2 Max will be around 30.
5-7 laps covered, your VO2 Max will be around 45.
7-8 laps covered (2800 meters), your VO2 Max will be around 62.
8-8.5 laps covered (3200 meters), your VO2 Max will be around 67
9 laps covered (3600 meters), your VO2 Max will be around 70.

Learn to keep a close eye on your fitness values and try to continually improve them. Improvement will lead to great health benefits, and may result in your goal of decreased body fat (depending upon your nutritional habits.)
