Facts Monthly

Filed under: Gardens + Gardening, Getting Fit, Home Improvement Center — admin @ 10:46 am

I was thinking of a few things that have happend in the last little while. What do you think of these experiences here? They played an important role in my decision making in the past.

The Right Tent

The family went camping the other weekend. The weather was supposed to be nice but you’re supposed to prepare for the worst. The tent we own isn’t made for back country camping so we had to search for a new tent. I didn’t have time for a lot of shopping because we were going camping in just one week. The website I used was really helpful. Tent arrived as expected. The package arrived super duper fast. Camping in the country was awesome. Fresh air, awesome scenery. We’re planning another one right now!

Secured the House

One thing I had to do before I left was get a home security system for the home. As a family we started getting more electronics, photos, etc. Memories. I wanted to do everything I could to prevent theft. After searching through websites for a while, we landed on a very informative place and chose to get a security system. The installation was super duper fast. Ready for another vacation. Hooray!

Energy

Living in a tent for a week can be tiresome. Whoever was the genius that packed the efusjon drinks deserves…another efusjon drink. Not only are children exhausting and worthwhile, taking them camping triples the effect. Glad to have efusjon nearby. Check out the ‘a’ team at efusjon. You will not regret it. Get in before it’s too late - get on the ‘a’ team at efusjon. Get in on the opportunity now!

Until next time, I’m out. Talk with you soon!

How to Use Diet Meal Planning to Help Lose Weight

Filed under: Eating Fun, Getting Fit, Help + Advice — admin @ 6:34 pm

Diet Meal Planning is a great way to lose weight and get the proper nutrition so the body functions better. A Diet Meal Plan sets out the schedule of meals for the week or ten days, and allows for time to create well balanced and properly proportioned servings.

The Key to success in any endeavor is proper planning and action steps to reach that plan. So Diet Meal Planning is a great way to set calorie goals for the week and to set guidelines for consumption. The best way to accomplish this is to grab a notebook and write down the kinds of foods you like to eat. Diet has almost become a “four letter word” in today’s vocabulary, but it doesn’t have to be bad. List all of your favorite foods. Then spend some time researching how to make low calorie versions of those same foods. Often you will find that simple substitutions can be made that will allow you to enjoy your fave’s and still control the calories.

Many times people get stuck in an eating rut, going with the most convenient and usually bad for you food choices. By building a well balanced diet meal plan, you can identify the areas where you are repeating and make changes to introduce new food. For example, let’s say Tuesday is spaghetti night; diet meal planning would put that on the schedule and you could try ground turkey instead of beef, larger salad portions, and an alternative to giant slices of garlic bread (garlic knots?!).

Diet Meal planning that is written and carefully followed can help promote and speed up weight loss by using food as a fuel instead of just grabbing whatever you can eat when you’re hungry. Diet Meal Planning is a great way to lose weight and get the proper nutrition so the body functions better. A Diet Meal Plan sets out the schedule of meals for the week or ten days, and allows for time to create well balanced and properly proportioned servings.

Hiking

Filed under: Getting Fit, Misc., Recreation Resources — admin @ 2:43 pm

Living in the Pacific Northwest there is all kinds of outdoor recreational activities to do. If you went hiking every day for the next five years, you’d probably never run out of trails to explore. From the Peninsula to the Cascade Mountains, there’s a ton of trail heads that’ll lead you deep into the wood on a different journey every day.
My favorite is the Hoh rainforest. It’s one of the most interesting, beautiful places on the planet. The trees look like someone has purposely draped each and every branch with streams of moss like the icicles you hang on your Christmas tree every year. It’s the neatest thing. In my mind it should be one of the seven wonders of the world.
There’s so many nooks and crannies to wander around and check out. It’s amazing how well maintained the park is. It’s a great place to go to get some real good exercise in. You can definitely burn a few hundred or even a few thousand calories enjoying a two, three, or four hour hike. You could even take some Acceletrim to boost your metabolism and drop a few extra pounds than you normally would. That’d be a great boost to your energy too.
There’s a lot to be said for being out doors in the wilderness out in the Pacific North West. Whether you a hiker, fisherman, or just enjoy the outdoors it’s a must see place for those who want to get back to mother nature.

Increase Your Training Intensity - Partial Repetitions

Filed under: Getting Fit — admin @ 5:30 pm

You can only build muscle tissue if you can generate progressively stronger muscular contractions, so this calls for an emphasis on finding ways to increase exercise intensity. This should not be confused with exercise duration as maximum training intensity will actually shorten the time needed to achieve maximal muscular growth.


In an earlier article I outlined the ways in which you can intensify your training. Here we’ll focus on the role that partial repetitions have to play in intensifying the training effect.


One of the biggest dangers confronting serious bodybuilders is the tendency to overtrain. Bodybuilders at the advanced level must resist the temptation to seek improvement by simply adding more exercises or extra workouts to an already demanding schedule.


One way to maintain progress yet avoid overtraining is to make constructive use of partial repetitions. This allows the introduction of additional intensity without adding significantly to the duration of training. To get the most out of partial repetitions you should follow these simple steps:


1. Use a much heavier weight than you would for the full range version of the same exercise.


2. Perform partial reps only from the halfway stage or mid-point of the exercise.


3. Use this method primarily on lagging body parts.


4. Perform only one exercise for one set per body part.


5. Use only as a supplement to full range movement exercises, not instead of.
