The Old Secret to Weight Loss

Posted by Dan Hammer //

In this blog post I’m going to empower you with the Old Secret to Weight Loss! This secret is so obvious that for most people it remains hidden from view. However, once you learn how to apply this weight loss secret, you’ll be able to harness its power to reshape yourself and your life!

The old secret to weight loss is found in the following formula:

Calories In vs. Calories Out =
Weight Gain, Weight Loss or
Weight Stays the Same

The formula is that simple.

“Calories In” represents the calories you bring into your body through the foods you eat and the beverages you drink.

“Calories Out” represents the calories your body burns up based on your metabolism and the activities you participate in.

If the “Calories In” are greater than the “Calories Out” you will gain weight. If the “Calories In” are less than the “Calories Out” you will loss weight. And, if the “Calories In” are equal to the “Calories Out” your weight will stay the same. Read More →

Issues with cognitive function are growing in the general population. As I did research on the last post Cognitive Functionregarding a new Alzheimer’s treatment program I came across the following title and article. Since I’m a big believer in the power of nitric oxide therapy to improve cardiovascular health I just had to read it.

The title says it all.

Cognitive function is aided by proper nitric oxide production.

If you would like to read it, then the link to the article is below the title. However, I’ve produced a new video to help you better understand this area.

I want to thank Dr. Debbie Powers, Assistant Professor Emerita of Wellness at Ball State University, for Legs Up The Wallturning me on to Legs Up The Wall. I’m not a yoga person but as you can see by the picture you don’t have to be into yoga to practice this position.

All you need is a wall. Any wall will do. You can even use a door. Just make sure it’s closed so that the pressure you place on the door doesn’t cause it to open unexpectedly.

This restorative pose is great for relaxation and circulation. And it can benefit anyone.

Fat Burning Exercises – Part Two

Posted by Dan Hammer //
 09/08/2016

In part one of this series on fat burning exercises we established that the amount of extra calories burned, Fat Burningby adding muscle to your body, is not as great as the internet and TV infomercials would have you believe.

The goal of this post is to help you see how the designed of your exercise program can significantly impact your caloric expenditure. And, what you eat and drink before and after you exercise also significantly impacts your fat burning ability.

Now the first place to start is in making a decision about the type of exercise program you’re going to follow.

Aerobic versus Anaerobic Exercise for Fat Burning!

Let’s make this as simple as possible. Fat burning exercises will either be

  • aerobic in design to strengthen the cardiovascular system

  • anaerobic in design to strengthen and build muscle tissue

  • or a combination of both. 

Aerobic exercises use oxygen to create energy.  The primary fuel source is free fatty acids which yield large amounts of energy. 

Anaerobic exercises create energy without the use of oxygen.  The primary fuel source is glycogen or blood glucose.

Fat Burning Exercises – Part One

Fat Burning ExercisesThere is a lot of information about fat burning exercises on the internet.  Unfortunately, most of the information is a bit misleading.  Typically, the information centers on whether you should be doing aerobic exercise to effectively burn your fat stores or whether you should be building muscle tissue to increase your metabolism to burn your extra fat!  The following quote from Adam Zickerman, author of Power of 10:  The Once-a-Week Slow Motion Fitness Revolution provides a good example of this:

“Three extra pounds of lean muscle burns about 10,000 extra calories a month.  (It) burns as many calories as running 25 miles a week, or doing 25 aerobic workouts a month without leaving your couch.” 

This information, if accurate, would lead you to believe that all you have to do to lose body fat is put on an extra three pounds of lean muscle.  No need to pound the pavement or treadmill or go to your aerobic class.  Just workout with weights until you have gained those three pounds of muscle and you are set for life!
