The Benefits of Exercise: 3 Surprising Reasons Why You NEED to Start Now!

The Benefits of Exercise: 3 Surprising Reasons Why You Need to Start Now

181196330_091389234a.jpg In this article we are going to discuss exercise and mens health and wellness, and how you may be getting FAR bigger gains out of your workout than the obvious.  Just about every men’s magazine, health journal and radio program espouses the benefits of fitness, but some of the things they may NOT be telling you are far more important than those that they are.  Read on as I expose 3 of the biggest gains you WON’T see in your arms and chest. 

Get Happy!

Researchers are beginning to come out in large numbers with startling facts about exercise and your mental health.  A recent Duke Medical Center study showed that a good, vibrant workout was as beneficial to the psyche of the exerciser as zoloft, yet without the nasty side effects that many pharmaceuticals promise (including those that affect OTHER areas of your physical performance!)

You Live Better – Longer!

The same study above also showed that men between the ages of 50-70 displayed greater memory, cognition and organizational abilities than those who did not.  Simply stated, the more you are able to stretch and build your body, the more your mental muscles will respond in kind.  And don’t for a second thing this is limited to those middle aged and above.  Quite the contrary, starting young, right now, is the best gift you can give your mind, and your bod!

Your Bank Account will Thank You!

Recent research shows that there is a STRONG correlation between BMI (body mass index) and net worth.  The men studies with a normal BMI of 24 had close to DOUBLE the bling that those who were heavy, or had a similar measurement of 42, which is technically considered obese.  And this does NOT count all of the other miscellaneous costs of being heavy that we all can agree on, insurance, hospitalization and other simple pointers that empirically tell us, thin is in!
 

How to Lose Belly Fat Fast: Simple Tips for a Rock Hard Stomach by Summer

How to Lose Belly Fat Fast: Simple Tips for a Rock Hard Stomach by Summer

In this article we are going to take a quick look at some simple, sensational strategies for losing belly fat, and doing it in rapid, record setting time. So if you are one of the millions of men who are struggling to drop those extra pounds that are padding your middle in time for the sizzling heat of summer, read on as I give you the 411 on getting rid of that gut now!

Modify Your Diet:

For the summer months, try focusing on high protein, low carb foods. Lean beef, chicken, fish and veggies are the first step to a flat stomach, and don’t let ANYONE tell you otherwise. I would heavy up on the fish for the heart concious as well, salmon and tuna are excellent choices for low calorie, high health foods.

Moderate the booze:

No worries, you don’t need to make drastic changes boys, so don’t panic. Like beer? Great, so do I. Want to get rid of that belly? Either change up to light brew for the summer, or drink the HARD stuff as it’s got far less caloric content than your favorite brew does. Being responsible with your liquor should go without saying.

Pick a workout.

You’ve got to push your body if you want quick and dramatic results. Following steps one and two will have you drop weight, but to flatten up, you need to sweat. There are LOTS of good workouts that will do just that, and you need to find one, pick it, and stick with it. Most men will WASTE far more time searching for the right workout than they will actually DOING the work out, which is the fundamental seed of failure in just about every exercise program there is.

Want the very best, hardest abs on the beach by summer? Simply find a good program that has proven results, and incorporate moderation in food and drink and you’ll be WELL on your away to a fabulous fit physique faster than you can say "ripped"…..I guarantee it!
