Do what others don't

You have to do what others don't do so you can have what others don't have.

So if others like you lift light, you have to lift heavier.
If they run slow, run faster.
If they run for a short time, run longer.

Do something new. Get something New and BETTER.

JOGGING AND RUNNING. The differences.

The Differences between Jogging and Running 

Both Running and Jogging are types of aerobic exercises.

Both these exercises help the body to lose weight by burning out some fat. They also strengthen the muscles of the legs. Generally, they work to make the body healthier and stronger. Improved immunity to diseases has been associated with exercises such as jogging and running.

Both exercises are movements that are associated to walking, they are just faster. It is only proper to relate them to walking in differentiating the two.

The first major difference between the two is that of speed.
Jogging is a faster movement than walking while running is way faster than jogging. As a result, jogging requires more movement and effort than running. That is to say that running for a minute requires more energy than jogging for a minute.

Also,  the speed involved in running is determined by the length of stride and the frequency of motion (Maybe in radians per minute, for instance). Of course, the overall fitness of the individual will determine how fast he or she can run.

DIFFERENCES

1. Descriptive
 

JOGGING: Trotting at a pace faster than walking and brisk walking. It can be done by all age groups.
RUNNING: Moving at a pace faster than jogging. This is the fastest pace a human can move. Cannot be done by all age groups, older folks may find it difficult because of the pace and energy required.

2. Reasons for the workout
 

JOGGING: Losing weight. Strengthening the heart.
RUNNING: Losing weight. Strengthening the heart. Strengthening the bones. Improving the effectiveness of the cardiovascular system.

3. Bennfits of the workout
 

JOGGING: Healthier body. Fitness. Strong cardiovascular system.
RUNNING: Athletic build. Healthier body. Fitness. Strong cardiovascular system. Losing weight.

Jogging and running are arguably the fastest ways to develop stamina and burn fat.

The health benefits of these exercises are numerous.

Do them regularly for a healthier life, stronger heart, stronger bones and general well being.

Why some girls don't lift weights

REASONS WHY GIRLS DON'T LIFT WEIGHTS

Reasons girls give why they don't lift weights:

1. It will make me look like a man and less like a woman.
2. I will not be pretty anymore.
3. People will laugh at me.
4. Men will avoid me.

ALL FALSE!

On the contrary -

It will actually make you look more feminine.

Your beauty is not dependent on lifting weights or not, but you will definitely look sexier if you did.

Only weak lazy women will laugh at you. They're just jealous you had the courage and the strength to do what they can't.

As for men avoiding you, only a weak man would. Such men are weak physically, emotionally and psychologically. They can't handle you. You don't need that.

Lifting weights is GOOD for girls.

So most women are afraid of lifting weights. Some think it will make them less feminine and more masculine. 

They think it will reduce their beauty and overall " hotness". 

Well, let's prove them wrong with a few pics of women that actually lift weights and are as hot as ever! 

THESE CHICS LIFT WEIGHTS!

And of course...

That's the wrap! 

If these pics didn't convince you, nothing else will. 

Unless I post more pics, of course. 

More pics coming up soon...

Different types of PushUp (part 3)

Different types of PushUps (Part 3)

   1.       Knuckle PushUp

This PushUp involves the use of the knuckles instead of the palms. 

It is convenient for people that have problems with their wrists because the wrist is basically in a neutral position. It makes the muscles do more work than the basic PushUp. It also strengthens the wrists.

Do the usual basic PushUp with the knuckles instead of the palms. 

   2.       Upper Body Elevated PushUp

Just like a Basic PushUp, place your hands on an elevated surface like a chair or a bench while your legs are on the floor. This push up is easier than the basic PushUp. The higher the plane of inclinaton, the easier it is to PushUp.

   3.       One Arm PushUp.

This PushUp is just self-explanatory. It involves the use of one arm. It is easier if the legs are spread out a little bit, to encourage balance.

This PushUp needs twice the effort of a basic PushUp for obvious reasons. It will work more on the muscles and upper body.

Don’t forget to do the same number of reps on each arm. This constitutes a set. 
 

That’s the wrap!

This doesn’t wrap it up for all the PushUp variations available, though. This is just a list of the most famous. All other variations are adaptations of the ones listed here in more or less obvious ways.

Practice the Pushups.

Hasta La Vista.

Different types of PushUps (Part 2)

Different types of PushUps (Part 2)

 A continuation of different PushUps...

    1.      T-PushUp

Start from the Basic Push Up Position. Take one hand off the ground and raise it straight up in the air. This way the body forms a T shape. Keep your eyes on the raised hand.

Repeat movement with the other hand. This constitutes one rep.

    2.      Single-Leg PushUp

Start with the Normal PushUp position.

Raise one leg and do a set of reps. Switch legs and repeat.

This Pushup intensifies the work done on the upper body.

    3.      Feet-Elevated PushUp

This involves a Basic PushUp position but with the legs resting on an elevated surface like a bench or chair.

The higher the elevation of the leg, the more work done on the shoulders, chest and core.

It also works on the muscles that connect the neck and shoulders.

    4.       Front-Clap PushUp

Start with the Basic PushUp position.

Forcefully push your body off the ground so that you clap your hand in front of your body, then go back to the PushUp position.

This PushUp works on the muscle fibers in your chest. It also works on the muscles in the arm. 

More PushUp types will be posted soon. Dont forget to try these ones out. See how it goes. 

Stay Strong.
