5 Reasons you Should Say “No” to Energy Drinks.




A lot of people have created the habit of grabbing an energy drink during the day, because they are simply in need of something that will pick them up.


However, you may need more than one if you become addicted to caffeine, which is contained in these drinks in huge amounts. And consuming a lot of energy drinks can lead to serious problems. They mostly have a bad effect on your heart, but they can also have a negative effect on your behavior. Although they are unhealthy, energy drinks can be consumed irregularly and in small doses.

#1 – Sleep Problems:

It may be hard to believe, but even if you decide to consume just one energy drink at the beginning of the day, it may lead to difficulties regarding falling asleep at night. This is because of the high amount of caffeine and other stimulants that are used as ingredients for energy drinks. They can also cause a chronic lack of concentration in the long run, which will surely harm your work process, as you won’t have proper concentration and will not be able to rest well.



#2 – Health Problems:

The high caffeine levels in energy drinks are known to have quite an impact on serotonin and endorphin levels, which can lead to some problems in your behavior. You may experience restlessness, nervousness, irritability, and increased blood pressure. There are also other health problems that may happen if you are consuming energy drinks, such as seizures, chest pains, and dehydration. Caffeine-sensitive people are more likely to experience these problems.








#3 – Caffeine Addiction:

It can be risky to get addicted to caffeine. The more you consume it, the more you will have tolerance for it. And when you consume large amounts of caffeine it makes your adrenal glands secrete huge amounts of adrenaline. So, if you consume energy drinks often, it will be harder for you to get the energy boost you need. And if you choose to stop consuming them, you will experience headaches and a huge lack of concentration.

#4- Acids:

The acids contained in energy drinks (carbonic acid, citric acid and phosphoric acid) are quite bad for your body. They are known to cause tooth rot, and very bad-looking and yellow teeth. They can also cause stomach damage, bone fractures and also other physical damages.





#5 – Type 2 Diabetes:

The high concentration of sugar in energy drinks can lead to really bad problems, one of them being type 2 diabetes. The sugar can wear out the insulin producing cells over time, which leads to this disorder. This may also lead to kidney failure, strokes, and heart disease.

The Best and Worst Exercises for Bad Knees.


Exercise may be the best medicine for chronic achy knees. "Strengthening the muscles around the joint protects you from injury by decreasing stress on the knee," says Willibald Nagler, MD, chairman of rehabilitation medicine at New York Presbyterian Hospital-Cornell Campus in New York City. But you must use good form and technique when doing exercises for knee pain.


÷ The First Commandment :

Never bend your legs to a point where your knees stick out past your toes. That puts a lot of pressure under the kneecap. This not only applies to the following exercises for knee pain but also when you're stretching or doing aerobic activities such as step aerobics.

#1- Best Exercises for Knee Pain:

1-Partial Squats:

 Stand about 12 inches away from the front of a chair with your feet about hip width apart and your toes forward. Bending at the hips, slowly lower yourself halfway down to the chair. Keep your abs tight, and check that your knees stay behind your toes.

2-Stepups:

 Using an aerobic step bench or a staircase, step up onto the step with your right foot. Tap your left foot on the top of the step, and then lower. As you step up, your knee should be directly over your ankle. Repeat with your left foot.

3- Side-lying Leg Lifts:

 Wearing ankle weights above the knee, lie on your left side, legs straight and together, with your left arm supporting your head. Keeping your right foot flexed and your body straight, slowly lift your right leg to about shoulder height, then slowly lower. Repeat with your left leg.




4- Inner-thigh Leg Lifts:

 Wearing ankle weights above the knee, lie on your left side, slightly back on your butt. Bend your right leg and place it behind your left leg with your right foot flat on the floor and your left leg straight. Support your head with your left arm. Slowly lift your left leg about 3 to 5 inches, then lower. Repeat with your right leg.

5- Calf Raises :

Using a chair or wall for balance, stand with your feet about hip width apart, toes straight ahead. Slowly lift your heels off the floor, rising up onto your toes. Hold, then slowly lower.



6- Straight-leg Raises :

Sit with your back against a wall, left leg straight and right leg bent with your foot flat on the floor. Slowly raise your left leg straight up about 12 inches off the floor. Hold, then slowly lower. Repeat with your right leg.

7- Short-arc Knee Extensions:

 In the same starting position as the straight-leg raises, put a ball (about the size of a basketball) under your left knee so that your leg is bent. Slowly straighten your leg. Hold, then slowly lower. Repeat with your right leg.

8- Hamstring Stretch:

 Lie on your back with your left leg flat on the floor. Loop a towel or rope around your right foot and pull your leg as far as comfortable toward your chest, while keeping a slight bend at the knee. Keep your back pressed to the floor throughout the stretch. Hold for 10 to 30 seconds and then release. Repeat three or four times with each leg. Do this stretch five or six times a week.

#2-Worst Exercises—Avoid These:

A few of the following exercises can be done safely if you have chronic knee problems; they're on this list because they're more likely to be done improperly. The exercises above are safer, while still giving you similar results.

•Full-arc knee extensions
•Lunges
•Deep squats
•Hurdler's stretches.

Top 3 Exercises for a Strong Core and Ripped Abs.




When I'm in a time crunch and can't hit all my favorite plank variations, I have three moves I always rely on, and one of them involves that funny-looking blue half-ball that you always see at the gym called a BOSU ball.



In recent studies by the National Center for Biotechnology Information, using a BOSU ball under your lower back during core training can increase activation of the rectus abdominis by nearly 25 percent. (Yes, please!) Simply add these three moves to your workout, either between sets or at the end, to really feel the burn.


#1. Single-Leg BOSU Bicycle:

One of the best way tighten the lower abs is by moving your legs. Really focus on bringing the abdominal wall in throughout your movement instead of flexing your abs too much and letting them stick out. Imagine your waistband shrinking, and pull your belly button into your lower back.

- Position yourself so that the bottom of your booty hits at about the last circular line of the BOSU.

- Lean back, placing one hand behind the head and the other to the side for balance.

- Extend the opposite leg and arm long off the floor, and then twist your knee to your elbow as you come up.

- Make sure to extend all the way back down, feeling a slight arch in your upper body at the bottom of the movement, and keep the elbow wide. Do 15 reps on each side, and then repeat.

*TIP: These will make you feel the burn quickly. Do as many as you can with a slow, controlled pace.









#2. Oblique Crunch Plank:

Sometimes simple is good. This high-plank variation simply pulls one knee up at a time to activate the obliques and stabilizing muscles. This move also tones your shoulders and legs as you work.

To really get the most out of this one, play with tempo. Try the first 10 with a slower pace (count to two coming up and two going back down). For the next 10, double the pace without a break. As always, exhale as you pull the knee wide and pull the belly button in.

- Starting in a high plank, place your hands directly under your shoulders.

- Maintain the position as you pull one knee wide to the side, all the way to the elbow.

- Return to starting plank and switch sides.

Do 10 reps slow (count to two coming up and two going back down) and then 10 reps fast (double the tempo) for two to three sets.




#3. Hanging Straight-Leg Raise:

One of the reasons the BOSU can do so much to engage your core is the slight hyperextension it creates through the upper body by being on a rounded surface instead of a flat one. To really amp things up, get rid of a supportive surface all together. The biggest challenge here is to not swing or use momentum. Take your time and keep the movement as smooth as possible. Hanging from a bar with a straight body, ensure that your arms are long and shoulders are down away from your ears through the entire exercise.

- Keeping your legs as straight as possible, lift them to the bar (or as high as possible).

- Slowly lower your legs to starting position and repeat. Do 15 to 20 reps.

*TIP: Not quite there yet? Modify by bending your knees and keeping your legs apart. Pull your knees toward your elbows and you'll be progressing to straight legs in no time.

How to Improve Muscles performance in Training and Achieving your Goal.







Learn some tips that will make you may have a faster muscle recovery and thus improve their performance in training and achieving your goals.


In bodybuilding, as important as nurture and train the body properly is knowing provide specific periods of not only the muscle recovery, but the body in general, to provide increasing earnings and longer lasting.


Train intensely is fundamental to stimulate the muscle, however, he becomes totally ineffective when not take into account an adequate muscle recovery. So just do not train properly and eat correctly, the correct muscle recovery is as important as other factors, for "the muscle grows is at rest," you have heard this phrase?

And when we talk about recovery, soon comes to the minds of most bodybuilders rest, sleep, the act of sleeping. Of course, this is one of the most important ways to recover from something stressful, but there are other methods that we can use for that muscle recovery is even more effective. Let's meet some of these methods?



#1 - Triggers The Body a Conducive Environment  And Time  For Sleep:

Sleep is one of the main and most important stages of the recovery period. As important as food and as important as the training itself, sleep can be extremely anabolic and assist in muscle gains and reduction of body.


Today, divided into different phases, sleep represents in each one stage in which the body has different actions in various body structures and different impacts against it. And these range from synthesis and hormonal secretions, the protein synthesis, glycogen synthesis, relaxation of body and mind and etc.

Sleep all the time is not something that results or bring extra benefits, so the hours INTENDED FOR SLEEPING are essentially required to be overvalued and in fact exist. An individual, for example, that presents difficulties or inadequacies with the time to sleep, usually presents with numerous physical and mental problems, ranging from simple weariness even mental disorders.

Sensitive to light, temperature, sounds, touches, smells and other body is directly influenced during sleep and moments before it to perform this physiological state well or not. So try to sleep in pleasant surroundings without noise or any noise, away from the minimum brightness (some references show that even a simple LED on can bring harm) without strong odors and properly scheduled hours.
This will be essential to properly recover the body in the rest period and then increase still more intensity in training, making them increasingly have optimized efficiency.





#2- Use Melatonin
Sleep well with melatonin:

Completing the previous tip on providing adequate sleep for muscle recovery, a tip that I personally use and find very interesting is the use of melatonin.
Melatonin is a hormone secreted by the pineal gland after dark, so we can have sleep. But as they get older the amount of secreted melatonin decreases, which means that we have a quality of sleep worse. To solve this problem the tip is the use of any supplements melatonin base.
Use of melatonin-based supplements will make you able to regulate your sleep cycle, and presents several other benefits such as:
Strengthen the immune system;
Regulate the sleep cycle;
Reduce free radiciais;
Anti-oxidative effect;

More energy for the day, because you will have a better sleep, and  etc.


So whether or not trouble sleeping, melatonin can be an excellent accompaniment to a good muscle recovery after all sleep better never hurts.


#3- Use massage for better recovery
Sports massage to relax the muscle:

Massage is one of the fastest and pleasurable recovery means that there is, but it is not accessible to all, as in Brazil therapist is priced a little high. But if you have the possibility to massage once a week or once a month, do not think twice, do it!
A good massage will make your muscles are relaxed completely, which is totally in favor of good muscle recovery. Furthermore, the massage will help to ensure a reduction in muscle tone, accelerating the elimination of metabolic waste and improves the blood circulation.

A good massage option for us bodybuilders is called sports massage.
