The importance of exercise order Despite widespread belief that exercise order should proceed from large- to small-muscle groups, the hypertrophic benefit has not been demonstrated in controlled research studies.

Researchers found that men who spent more than 23 hours a week watching TV and sitting in their cars had a 64 percent greater chance of dying from heart disease than those who sat for 11 hours a week or less. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19996993

This is from the latest edition of medical physiology which I read when I visited the medical library Body Fitness Prolongs Life Multiple studies have now shown that people who maintain appropriate body fitness, using judicious regimens of exercise and weight control, have the additional benefit of prolonged life. Especially between the ages of 50 and 70, studies have shown mortality to be three times less in the most fit people than in the least fit.... But why does body fitness prolong life? The following are some of the most important reasons. Body fitness and weight control greatly reduce cardiovascular disease. This results from (1) maintenance of moderately lower blood pressure and (2) reduced blood cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein along with increased high-density lipoprotein. As pointed out earlier, these changes all work together to reduce the number of heart attacks, brain strokes, and kidney disease. The athletically fit person has more bodily reserves to call on when he or she does become sick. For instance, an 80-year-old nonfit person may have a respiratory system that limits oxygen delivery to the tissues to no more than 1 L/min; this means a respiratory reserve of no more than threefold to fourfold. However, an athletically fit old person may have twice as much reserve. This is especially important in preserving life when the older person develops conditions such as pneumonia that can rapidly require all available respiratory reserve. In addition, the ability to increase cardiac output in times of need (the "cardiac reserve") is often 50 percent greater in the athletically fit old person than in the nonfit person. Exercise and overall body fitness also reduce the risk for several chronic metabolic disorders associated with obesity such as insulin resistance and type II diabetes. Moderate exercise, even in the absence of significant weight loss, has been shown to improve insulin sensitivity and reduce, or in some cases eliminate, the need for insulin treatment in patients with type II diabetes. Improved body fitness also reduces the risk for several types of cancers, including breast, prostate, and colon cancer. Much of the beneficial effects of exercise may be related to reduction in obesity. However, studies in experimental animals and in humans have also shown that regular exercise reduces the risk for many chronic diseases through mechanisms that are incompletely understood but are, at least to some extent, independent of weight loss or decreased adiposity.

The barbell deadlift builds total-body strength by targeting the lower and upper back, hamstrings, quads, traps, and glutes. The exercise also increases core strength and stability. It is known as one of the best total body exercises for strength, building muscle, and fat loss. 1) Bend at hips and knees, and grab a loaded barbell with an overhand grip about twice as wide as shoulder-width. ... 2) Without allowing your lower back to round, stand up and thrust your hips forward as you squeeze your glutes. Pause, then lower the bar back to the floor while keeping it as close to your body as possible. Trainer's Tips 1. Avoid rounding your back throughout the movement. Focus on keeping your chest up and your back flat. 2. Avoid bouncing the plates for the next rep. Instead, reset after each rep and let the bar come to a dead stop. 3. Keep your head inline with the rest of your body and avoid overarching at the neck..

A Road Map to Effective Muscle Recovery As a physically active individual, recovery is key to preventing injuries and allowing the body to rebuild itself after the stress of exercise. Our muscles, tendons, ligaments and energy stores require recovery, repair and replenishment to perform at our best during the next exercise bout. For new or more intense exercise our muscles can often become sore within 24 to 48 hours after exercise, but soreness is not vital for an adequate re...covery routine. Muscle soreness can occur when cellular waste products accumulate in muscle cells leading to inflammation or by micro-tears that occur in the muscle fibers. There are many different strategies to maximize recovery and minimize the amount of muscle soreness experienced after exercise. From good nutrition, sleep, regular days off, to different methods and tools, use this exercise recovery road map to find the best strategy to recover quickly and effectively. continue reading https://www.acsm.org//a-road-map-to-effective-muscle-recov

The YMCA 3-minute step test was used to estimate VO2max. The test works by having the participants do 12-inch step-ups for three minutes, with 24 step-ups per minute at a pace dictated by a metronome. After the test, heart rate is measured for one minute. VO2max is then predicted by using the equation (for men): 111.33 (0.42 x heart rate in beats per minute). This prediction has been shown to correlate well with measured VO2max (r = 0.83) in the general population
