		<description><![CDATA[It's a new year,  learn how to get that body in shape, you have the power to amaze yourself]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I can think of no greater motivation than this.  Remember how last year you promised yourself when next summer rolls around things were going to be different.  Remember the year before that.  We have all been there and we have all seen the next summer roll around and alas, it was the same old us.</p>
<p>It really is going to be different this time because now you have a plan.  You have an actual concrete plan that will work.  First thing is first though, you need to take a picture of yourself.  I know this is a bit painful and I am not talking about a full nude shot or anything like that, but a picture of yourself without a shirt on.  The reason will become more evident.</p>
<p>When you look at your day one photo, the one that you took when you decided to turn it all around, it will remind you of how far you came.  I know you don’t want to do it, but I am not asking you to post it on the web or anything like that, it is just for your own records.  This will show you how you truly look, the good, the bad and the ugly.  Don’t worry though this is soon to be the old you.</p>
<p>In one month you are going to take another photo of yourself and you will be amazed at the progress you have made.  Actually look at the two photos and how far you have come.  Now you are starting to see some real progress.  Just imagine how you are going to look next month.  Starting to feel better about yourself now.  Next month you won’t be able to wait to take that photo!</p>

		<description><![CDATA[To gain weight and build muscle you are going to need calories, here is an easy way to get a lot of them]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you want to <strong>gain weight and build muscle fast</strong>, you are going to need the calories to do it.  That being said it sometimes hard to work in every meal, but don’t despair, that is why they invented smoothies.  Smoothies are not only absolutely delicious, they are easy to make.  I do not advise going on an all smoothie diet, but they can really help when you need a meal on the go and they taste better than any meal replacement powder out there.  Here is one of my personal favorites and all I use is a regular blender and I pour it into a shaker bottle.  The one I use is the type that comes with a little wisk shaped like a ball, I believe they call it the blender bottle, you should be able to pick up one at any GNC or supplement store for about $10.</p>
<p>Without further ado here is the recipe:</p>
<ul>
<li>1 cup oranges</li>
<li>1/2 cup of bananas</li>
<li>1 cup of mangos</li>
<li>1 cup of orange sherbet (I use blue bell)</li>
<li>1/2 a cup of ice</li>
<li>1 scoop of unflavored protein powder (about 64 grams)</li>
</ul>
<p>I am telling you it tastes awesome it is the best tasting orange smoothie I have ever had!  For those of you out their counting here is the breakdown.</p>
<p>Calories : 620           Calories from fat: 45</p>
<p>total fat 5g 7%</p>
<p>Saturated fat 2.5 g 13%</p>
<p>Cholesterol 10 mg 4%</p>
<p>Sodium 100 mg 4%</p>
<p>Total carbohydrates 135g 45%</p>
<p>Dietary fiber 5g 19%</p>
<p>Sugars 114g</p>
<p>Protein 68g</p>
<p>Vitamin A 130%</p>
<p>Vitamin C 100%</p>
<p>Calcium 15%</p>
<p>Iron 4%</p>
<p>Start blender on low then once you get that good whirlpool going switch to high.  Once all of the ingredients are blended thoroughly pour into shaker bottle.</p>
<p>Enjoy!!</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Learn how to build muscle the smart way]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><!-- 		@page { margin: 0.79in } 		P { margin-bottom: 0.08in } --></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Every day there are people that are going to the gym to trying to build muscle.  Unfortunately there is so much information on how to do it, it is easy to get information overload and end up doing nothing.  If the truth be known building muscle is not as hard as most people will lead you to believe.  There are basically three aspects that you really need to concentrate on in the beginning.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">The first is exercise.   <strong>You will not build muscle by reading about it.</strong><span style="font-weight: normal;"> That is the cold hard truth, you are going to have to workout.  At first this is going to seem hard, just the logistics of being able to schedule the time to actually do it is the major hurdle that most people face.  Once you actually set aside that time for exercise it will be easier as it will become a part of your weekly routine.  The second aspect is nutrition.  Think of your body like an automobile, the higher quality of fuel you put in the tank, the better the performance.  Computer programmers call this GIGO (Garbage In, Garbage Out) bad fuel = bad results.  The third most important aspect is rest and recovery.  Every time you work out you are putting your muscles under stress, the &#8216;rip&#8217; a little bit and heal resulting in a bigger muscle.  They need time to repair, that is why every good work out program has a period of rest involved in it, to give your muscles time to repair.</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"> Right now we are going to concentrate on the first aspect exercise.  When you walk into a gym it is easy to get overwhelmed by how many machines there are each specializing in a specific body part.  For now don&#8217;t worry too much about it, we are more concerned with how we are going to work out initially.</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"> You will see people hurling up massive amounts of weight very quickly, do not fall into this trap.  They are actually cheating themselves by using momentum and bad form to get all that weight up and are more prone to injury themselves than to do themselves any benefit.  Before you start to workout, make sure you have warmed up.  There is nothing easier to injure than cold muscles.  Stretch, get yourself limber first.</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"> Secondly lift the weight slowly.  You will be surprised how much harder it is to lift the weight slowly than fast.  Why do we want to lift slowly.  To begin with it puts more stress on our muscles.  By lifting slowly you are making your muscles work harder in a shorter space of time.  Not only are your main muscles lifting the weight, but all of your secondary muscle groups are pitching in also.  When you lift fast it is basically your one main muscle group that is doing the lifting.  Want some more reasons to go slow.</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<ul>
<li>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Your 	muscles will get fatigued faster</span></p>
</li>
<li>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Far 	lesser chance of injury</span></p>
</li>
<li>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">A 	more efficient workout in a shorter period of time</span></p>
</li>
<li>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">All 	of the muscle groups get involved</span></p>
</li>
<li>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">You 	are not subjecting your muscles and tissues to sudden jarring 	motions</span></p>
</li>
</ul>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"> Remember we are trying to build muscle, if we can accomplish that goal in 30 minutes, why spend an hour?  Your body does not care if it took you you 2 hours to get your muscles to the point of fatigued or if it took 20 minutes, why should you?  Unless lifting weights is your profession, but most of us just want to look good at the beach.  So when building muscle, remember go slow.</span></p>
