For any kind of extreme fitness one would have to work out with dedication as no excuses work in these circumstances. Most people wonder about building muscles being similar to abandoning life when they get out of the gym. Such people devote lot of hours in the gymnasium just like how a monk would do in a monastery. The only method according to them, perhaps, would be to toil hours over the rusted iron every day and all over the year, so that you get to chisel your body into nothing less than hot muscular physique.
It need not be the case at all. No doubt, hard work is mandatory, extreme fitness requires a
person to work under the iron weights. Complete-body work-outs could make a person progress
as it would easily fit in one's daily schedule. This becomes more convenient when you look
forward to achieve extreme fitness, but consequently find it difficult to stick to single exercising
routine.
Maximum muscle contraction happening due to heavy weights among athletes is common due
to dedicated aims, as it comprises of genuine full-body work outs. It makes ample room for
complete recovery so that one could grow and carry on training hard; taking care of burn outs
happening from excessive training.
If you are planning to jump into extreme fitness, below information would give you an idea about
total body work out.
Time saver
Full-body work out or working out overall is a real time saver. You world have to visit the gym
less frequently when you get involved in full body exercising; probably about 2-3 times a week
would be more than sufficient.Quality of exercise stressed
This is another advantage about total-body work-outs. When a person grows for entire body
work out, he need not spend many hours of strenuous exercise; he would perhaps have to
spend just about an hour for one exercise. The quality is often stressed in full body workouts
than the quantity or the number of hours spent. It doesn't even consider time allotment per
person.
Cardiovascular boost
Full body work outs for extreme fitness boosts the cardiovascular system. Two to four sets is
allotted for each part of the body, for the hour session. Every session of an hour, after a jampack
of exercise, then gets heart along with other cardio vascular system pumping till speed in
flash.
After feeling pumped up, there are certain rules one would have to follow as they engage in
complete body work-outs.
Training commences just once in every two or three days. This is easy. The best thing about
this is that, as you get the spare time which could be utilized in sessions of cardio exercises.
Most often people rely on cardio exercises towards the end of each work out session which is
don't prove to be much effective, often.
Lifting heavy weights is strongly advised. Though athletes are of the opinion of light weight
training, it just stays more of a myth. People speak of conserving energy for other parts of the
body which would later include in the training. However, it is to be known that a person would
not get optimal progress when the training is not heavy; it doesn't matter what the program is.
Single exercise per muscle group is stressed. This is not just very easy to follow but is equally
important too. Implementing basic but intense work out techniques would suggest not having to
do several exercises for one single body part.
It is always suggested to keep your work out very short. Natural hormones of your body which
are connected to muscle building is often affected by resistance training. Long work outs would increase catabolic control and exercising intense would boost the testosterone levels. Just sixty
minutes of exercise would allow you to obtain maximum from both worlds.
With such powerful and convenient workout regimen, you would undoubtedly experience
extreme fitness.

When You Should Eat

You should eat when you’re hungry. It’s that simple. The trick is in learning how to know when you’re actually hungry, and when you want to eat because you are tired, bored, stressed out, or just craving food. This is actually harder than it sounds for many people. After years, perhaps decades of eating for the wrong reasons, you may have to train your body to recognize hunger again. Hunger usually involves stomach pinches, pains, or growling. If your stomach isn’t growling, you’re probably not really hungry. But this isn’t always indicative of hunger. Sometimes you may feel food moving around in your stomach from your last meal, and this may mimic very closely the feeling you have when you’re hungry. Before you rush to eat after your stomach starts growling, wait just a little while to see if the growling subsides. If it doesn’t go away in 10-15 minutes, or if you feel weak or jittery, it’s probably true hunger. If the growling goes away, it might have been the feeling of food being digested. I suggest eating several smaller meals per day rather than 3 large ones. When you eat smaller meals, you can help boost your metabolism. The more often your body is consuming food, the faster your metabolism will become. You see, your body will digest food slowly to make the energy it gets from food and the full feeling last as long as possible if it thinks it isn’t getting enough food. When you’re consuming a lot of food regularly, it realizes that there is an abundance of food, and it will respond by digesting food quickly and giving you plenty of energy. I don’t recommend waiting a certain amount of time between meals. Ideally you’ll be eating every 2-4 hours, just small amounts, but you may need to eat an hour after a meal, of you may not feel hungry for 4-5 hours. Just learn to listen to your body’s own hunger signals. You should aim for eating smaller, almost snack-sized meals about 4-6 times per day. Eating three meals per day will mean you’re eating more at each meal. This can spike your blood sugar and cause you to crash, leading to cravings when you’re not actually hungry. Eating a lot at one meal can also cause you to experience something commonly known as “food coma”. This is mostly caused by eating a large amount of food at one time, especially foods that are high in refined carbohydrates. It takes a lot of energy to digest food. It can be especially taxing when your blood sugar spikes and crashes. This causes energy to be diverted from other systemic functions, causing your brain to feel “foggy”, and the rest of your body to feel weak and tired. While the tryptophan in turkey can indeed cause sleepiness, it is probably mostly the “food coma” effect that causes you to feel so tired and sluggish after a holiday meal. Thanksgiving and other holiday meals are usually very high in carbohydrates and sugar, and people tend to overeat at these meals. The same thing can happen to you anytime you eat a large meal, especially one that is high in refined carbohydrates. When you eat smaller, lighter meals, you will feel energized after eating, rather than tired and run-down. Remember, the primary goal of eating smaller meals throughout the day is to keep your metabolism charged up. The higher your metabolism, the faster the weight will melt off. ->Read More
