CONCENTRATE FOR 8 SECONDS. These days we’re all about things being faster. That’s why this advice is invaluable: When you really need to remember something, concentrate on it for at least 8 seconds. That can seem like a long time when you’re running around trying to get a million things done, but it is worth it.

We’ve all walked into a room and suddenly realized we can’t remember why we needed to be there in the first place.

A new found love was discovered when the Ford Model T when into mass production, between people and their cars. We make sure they get washed regularly and we get the oil changed, the tires rotated and the brakes replaced at the slightest indication of a squeak or squeal. In fact, in 2011 the results from a study said that 40% of the men surveyed were more apt to take care of a problem with their car before any health issue they may have. For example, answer these 2 questions: 1). Do you have a trusted doctor? 2). Do you have a trusted mechanic? If you answered yes to question number 2, you probably care more about the condition of your car more than you do your own health. And you probably took more time picking out your car than you do a doctor. Do you even know what to look for when choosing a doctor? Many insurance plans have limited selections of PCP (primary care providers) but you can still shop them. Some things you need to look at when choosing a doctor are: • How did you relate to the office staff? Were they friendly? Were they helpful? […]

Greatest Myths Regarding Workout

by kevin in Workouts 0 comments
It shouldn’t be a surprise that the fitness industry, considering its popularity in the recent decade, should have plenty of rumors and myths just floating around, ready to be put into social media or word-of-mouth where people can be deceived into believing it and following them, thus ruining their workout regimen or even their overall fitness. With that in mind, here we are, presenting you with some of the most common myths that you should not buy into: 1. More Sweating Equals Better Workout: While a layman would buy into this theory, probably imagining that working harder results in more sweat and the same analogy applies to your workout too, anyone with even the basic scientific education would tell you otherwise. Sweating is actually a response when your body’s temperature is getting higher so that it cools down. Sometimes, when your body’s temperature is already cool no matter how heavy, the barbells or dumbbells were, it’s still a great workout. 2. No Pain, No Gain: Once again, this is what fitness enthusiasts would consider wrong. Sure, having a strenuous workout will be much better, but even if you consider doing something which doesn’t cause that much pain. You can still […]

This is a Quick Training Tip, the best chance to learn how to work in a smarter way so that you get the maximum gains in the least possible time. If you only do straight sets in your gym then you will get average results. The drill to follow: Do one set of an exercise, after which rest, and repeat. This is the best formula for anyone who wants some good amount of gains that is going to be noticeable. Straight sets are more or less effective because the target is only on a single kind of muscle fiber. This is the place where drop sets come in.

No doubt women’s breasts are one of the things that makes a woman look more attractive. This is why women have been trying to find a way to emphasize the look of their breasts since ancient times. Modern bras certainly allow women who have small breasts to make their breasts look more attractive and “fool” those around them when it comes to the size of their breasts. However, only a small number of women are aware that with the right workout focused on strengthening certain muscles and muscle groups, their breasts can look firmer and larger even without the help of bras. With the help of this type of training, you will also strengthen the muscles located in the shoulders and back which will eventually correct your posture and make your breasts more visible and attractive. This workout program should be performed three times a week. It is crucial to complete one set that will include all exercises without taking a break between each exercise. After that, take a break of about 30-60 seconds and do another set. You should complete four sets in one training session. All you need for these workouts is weights, Swiss ball and medicine ball.
