			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There are a fair amount of rumours surrounding the cause of man boobs ranging from medical illness to the inclusion of hormones in food and even water the vast amount of which aren’t actually proven. So, which are the real causes of man boobs?</p>
<div align="center"><div id="attachment_1420" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 530px"><a href="http://www.theonlinehealthguide.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/249741_f520.jpg"><img src="http://www.theonlinehealthguide.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/249741_f520.jpg" alt="Man Boobs - Man Breasts" title="Man Boobs" width="520" height="693" class="size-full wp-image-1420" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Man Boobs - Man Breasts</p></div></div>
<h2><strong>Gynecomastia</strong></h2>
<p>Gynecomastia is a medical condition that leads to the growth of man boobs by creating imbalanced hormone production in your body resulting in higher levels of estrogen being produced compared to testosterone. Typically men have higher levels of testosterone whilst women have higher levels of estrogen, when this is reversed side effects appear such as man boobs.<br />
Gynecomastia can develop naturally in your body but can be treat medically, it is always worth getting a check-up from your doctor if you don’t seem to be able to get rid of man boobs as if diagnosed with gynecomastia then your doctor can advise you on treatments which may sometimes lead to surgery.</p>
<h2><strong>Cimetidine and Gynecomastia</strong></h2>
<p>Cimetidine is a drug used to treat internal issues such as stomach ulcers and intestinal problems. If you already have gynecomastia but don’t have man boobs then this drug can cause the growth of man boobs and recent research has shown that a man who does not have gynecomastia but is taking cimetidine for medical issues has a one in four chance of developing gynecomastia in turn potentially leading to the growth of man boobs.</p>
<h2><strong>A common cause – fat</strong></h2>
<p>By far the most common cause of man boobs is simply fat. Being overweight is the biggest cause of man boobs and if you are fortunate enough that this is the case and the formation of man boobs is not medical then you can effectively get rid of your man boobs through a healthy diet, determination and exercise.<br />
Looking back on the cause of man boobs it’s easy to blame drugs or say you have a medical condition but most of the time it’s simply down to being overweight. If you have seriously tried to eat healthily and exercise but have had no luck reducing your mam boobs then it is worth consulting a doctor, however you may mind that you just needed to try harder and stick to the diet and exercise.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>‘Moobs’ are very guys worst nightmare, let’s face it no one wants man boobs. Most of the time it’s fairly simple to get rid of moobs but in some cases it can be medical.</p>
<h2><strong>Why do I have ‘moobs’?</strong></h2>
<p><div id="attachment_1416" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 238px"><a href="http://www.theonlinehealthguide.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/man-boobs-photo.jpg"><img src="http://www.theonlinehealthguide.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/man-boobs-photo.jpg" alt="Man Boobs (Moobs)" title="Man Boobs (Moobs)" width="228" height="334" class="size-full wp-image-1416" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Man Boobs (Moobs)</p></div>When it comes to man boobs there could be two possible reasons you have them. If you are unfortunate enough to have gynecomastia this medical condition produces higher levels of estrogen than normal resulting in the formation on man boobs. The only way this can be dealt with is through medical treatment and in some cases you may end up having surgery to help remove them.</p>
<p>If you are one of the ‘luckier’ men to have moobs that are caused by fat deposits from being overweight then it’s not as difficult to get rid of them – it will however take some willpower and determination as getting rid of man boobs in this case basically equates to losing weight either through diet control, exercise or a combination of both. The most effective way to lose the man boobs is to control your calorie intake by taking in fewer calories then normal to lose weight and combine with cardio and strength training as cardio will help to lose fat and the strength training will tone your chest area.</p>
<h2><strong>Cardiovascular exercise</strong></h2>
<p>The cardio exercises are great for burning fat and will help you remove excess weight including the most despised of all – man boobs. All forms of cardio exercise are great for this and we have some suggestions that may help you achieve your goal.</p>
<p>•	Running – Without a doubt running is the most effective from of cardio exercise when it comes to burning fat. The problem here through is that a lot of people don’t find running exercise enjoyable so it’s all down to personal taste and certainly not an option for some people especially if suffering from joint defects.</p>
<p>•	Rowing – Unique in its benefits for fighting man boobs, rowing is fantastic for burning fat but also helps to tone your chest and upper body.</p>
<p>•	Elliptical machine – The great thing about the elliptical machine is that workouts feel less strenuous whilst still giving a full body workout that’s extremely effective at burning fat.</p>
<p>•	Sports – All sports are great forms of cardio exercise and also great fun, odd are if you play a lot of sports then you probably aren’t reading this article. Great for keeping in shape and of course keeping a trim body.</p>
<h2><strong>Strength training</strong></h2>
<p>The obvious benefit with strength training is that it’s going to help you build and define your upper body alloying you to help get rid of the man boobs. What the strength training exercise will also do its increase your lean muscle mass which leads to burning more calories and in result losing weight. Here are some exercises that work great for this purpose:</p>
<p>•	Chest press<br />
•	Cable crossovers<br />
•	Incline flyes<br />
•	Bench press<br />
•	Push ups</p>
<p>If you combine the diet control tips we have given with the cardio and strength exercises we suggested then you should have no problem losing your man boobs if you keep the determination. If these methods do not work it is recommend you contact your doctor to have a medical check-up in case of gynecomastia.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.theonlinehealthguide.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/weightloss.jpg"><img src="http://www.theonlinehealthguide.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/weightloss.jpg" alt="Keeping the Weight Off!" title="Keeping the Weight Off!" width="310" height="439" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1405" /></a>Dieting is hard enough but providing you succeed with your diet of choice and manage to get to the weight goal you were aiming for you then still have the problem of keeping the weight off. Weight gain after a successful diet can occur slowly or quickly depending on how fast it took you to initially burn off the extra weight – the faster the weight loss then the faster you will put it back on after you have finished your diet. There are ways however to keep your new weight but they will require dedication. </p>
<h2><strong>Pre diet</strong></h2>
<p>Whether or not you will be successful in keeping weight off after your diet does in some ways depend on your choice of diet. To be successful you will need to take these two points into consideration. The first, do not starve yourself – doing so will lower your metabolism meaning that you will be less effective at burning calories, eat healthily and often to lose weight. The second point is to choose a diet in which you will lose weight slowly over time, fad diets may get the weight off but it will come back fast, slow burning diets on the other hand mean that once you have reached your goal it will take equally as long to put the weight back on.</p>
<h2><strong>Post diet tips</strong></h2>
<p>Even after completing your diet it can still be difficult to keep the weight off, here are some tips:</p>
<p>•	Water – Drink a couple of waters a day, this is a good start as water is essential for a healthy body and acts as a mild appetite suppressant.</p>
<p>•	Low fat diet – You need to maintain a healthy low fat diet but don’t be too hard on yourself as you could end up giving up out of annoyance.</p>
<p>•	Breakfast – A healthy breakfast is absolutely essential, it will stop you over eating at lunch and will also kick start your metabolism so you start burning calories as early as possible.</p>
<p>•	Hunger prevention – Don’t let yourself get too hungry, make sure to eat regularly to avoid eating big amounts when ‘starving’.</p>
<p>•	I’m full – Try not to eat until you are stuffed, eat enough to feel full but do not eat what’s on the plate just for the sake.</p>
<p>•	Exercise – Regular exercise 3 times a week works great to keep weight off, even if only for 30mins try to do cardio or aerobics.</p>
<p>•	Don’t skip meals – Eat three meals a day at set times, this helps control your hunger and stops you from getting cravings or feeling hungry seemingly at random.</p>
<p>•	Weighing scales – A powerful motivational asset, weighing yourself everyday will help you keep on top and stop the weight piling on.</p>
<p>•	Alcohol – Avoid drinking too much alcohol too often as alcohol gives you cravings which will lead you to eat much more unhealthily than normal.</p>
<p>•	Weight loss journal – Keeping a diary of your weight loss progress works well for motivation and helps you set clear targets whilst reflecting on what you have achieved.</p>
<p>•	Support – If you are really struggling then consider joining a support group. You will get motivational help and you will gel with people who are all in the same position as yourself.</p>
<p>If you stick to these tips and take your post diet commitments seriously then you should be able to keep the weight off. It may be hard at first you after a while it will become the norm and you will be a much healthier person.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.theonlinehealthguide.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/colotrim.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-926" title="colotrim" src="http://www.theonlinehealthguide.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/colotrim.jpg" alt="colotrim" width="100" height="100" /></a>Men&#8217;s health, as well as women&#8217;s can be improved by the use of a good cleansing agent. Colotrim for men is an all natural method of cleansing the colon. It has been touted as being among the most effective of colon cleansing agents on the market today and is reported to be all natural in makeup. Made from fennel seeds and other naturally cleansing treatments in combination with other ingredients that are natural in origin ColoTrim for Men is a broad spectrum method of cleaning the colon and preventing certain illnesses according to reports.</p>
<p>Your colon is a wide tube that is muscular in nature. Peristalsis, or muscle contractions carry the waste material down through the colon and out the canal. If it is clogged due to extemporaneous materials quite often the colon doesn&#8217;t fully evacuate.</p>
<p>About four feet long your colon also has other functions as well as evacuation. It is also where these things take place.</p>
<p>* Digestion and absorbing of the nutrients from food<br />
* Concentration of water material by absorbing fluid (and electrolytes) from it<br />
* Storage and control of the release of the waste materials from your food.</p>
<p>On the right hand side of your colon you will see the absorbtion of the water and electrolytes of your food taking place. when your colon is compacted full of other materials, it is possible that goodabsorbtion of the nutrients into your body cant take place as has been claimed on the ColoTrim site.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.theonlinehealthguide.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/colotrimformen.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-927" title="colotrimformen" src="http://www.theonlinehealthguide.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/colotrimformen.jpg" alt="colotrimformen" width="595" height="400" /></a><br />
The left side of the colon offers storage and evacuation of the fecal and waste materials that are left when your food has digested and begun the passage through the colon.</p>
<p>Working in concert, both sides of the colon mean that your energy, your vitamins, your electrolytes and much of what keeps your body going is going to be given to you in the intestine. If its full of things that prevent good absorbtion, what might the results be. Literally if the colon could not absorb nutrients you would be eating good healthy meals and not being able to benefit from them.  Without absorbtion you&#8217;d be starving your body while eating properly.</p>
<p>In the United stats alone one out of ever twenty people will develop some type of colorectal cancer. It is among the most common types of cancer today. ways to lower your risk to colorectal cancer may be to eat more healthy foods, to evacuate your colon in a natural way and to take a colon cleanser on a regular basis.</p>
<p>The colon cleansing not only helps to prevent some types of disease, but also helps yu to feel better, to have more energy and to look less bloated and overweight.</p>
<p>Web Md Says &#8220;Just as you routinely shampoo your hair or scrub your floor, you should be regularly do you want to Fight Fatigue and Raise Energy Levels?</p>
<p>ColoTrim says that it can boost the metabolic rate while it does offer you protection from the diseases such as colon cancer to some extent.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-762" title="ACAIFORCEXT" src="http://www.theonlinehealthguide.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/ACAIFORCEXT.jpg" alt="ACAIFORCEXT" width="100" height="100" /><strong>Official Website:</strong> <a href="http://www.theonlinehealthguide.com/visit/force-xt.php" target="_blank">acaiforcext.com</a><br />
Studies tell us that the tiny brown acai berry is among the most powerful foods and the most nutritious in the world. Used by the rainforest tribes it’s been talked about everywhere and the world is full of information about it, but is it all true?</p>
<p>Acai is a berry that grows on a palm tree, and its deep purple in color. Hiding underneath that lovely deep purple are some awesome energy boosts, some body cleaning, some healthy fats and a great deal of fiber, so yes, acai berry is good for you.</p>
<p>When you&#8217;re overweight you&#8217;re putting undue stress on the body. It becomes higher risk for things like adult onset diabetes, for heart disease, for high blood pressure and also for knee and joint problems as well as many other kinds of medial issues. Getting fit, using foods such as acai berry makes good sense for your body because it will help you get healthy, staying healthier and living a longer, more energetic life.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.theonlinehealthguide.com/visit/force-xt.php"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-763" title="xt" src="http://www.theonlinehealthguide.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/xt.jpg" alt="xt" width="595" height="450" /></a></p>
<p>If you have no energy to begin with, you&#8217;re going to do even less and that means more weight gain. The Acai berry is said to give you more energy, more stamina and let you want to do more so you actually lose weight that much more quickly. No one wants to look and feel like they are tired all the time.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re ready for some action in your life, ready to start living instead of just existing, maybe take a second look at the acai berry that is part of AcaiForcext</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The 300 workout was created and developed by <a href="http://www.marktwight.com/" target="_blank">Mark Twight</a>, who is a self taught genius of the gym as well as a mountaineer.</p>
<p>One of the few who still believes in the &#8220;no guts and no glory&#8221; motto, Twight&#8217;s 300 Workout gave some pain, and a vast amount of gain in the end. The workout took its name from the total number of repetitions which are not done daily, but rather built up to over time.</p>
<p><strong>At Home &#8211; 300 Workout Equipment:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Barbell 60 Kg weights</li>
<li>Chinning bar</li>
<li>Muscle Max Supplement</li>
<li>24 inch box</li>
</ul>
<p>Each exercise, when broken down into reasoning and operation will help you see why the 300 Workout helped the actors gain their muscle quickly and completely.</p>
<h2>25 pull-ups<a id="pullups1" name="pullups1"></a></h2>
<p>Pull ups are designed to make you lift the weight of your own body. They are among the best of the strengthening exercises out there. Quite frequently people don&#8217;t get all that they could out of them because they don&#8217;t do them correctly. If correctly done pull-ups will give you a very good gain in upper body strength and definition.</p>
<div id="attachment_565" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 250px"><a href="http://www.theonlinehealthguide.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/andrew-pleavin.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-565" title="andrew-pleavin" src="http://www.theonlinehealthguide.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/andrew-pleavin.jpg" alt="Andrew Pleavin, better known as Daxos in 300" width="240" height="240" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Andrew Pleavin, better known as Daxos in 300 during the workout.</p></div>
<p>Many people think that pull-ups and chin-ups are the same exercise. There are some differences. A pull-up is you pulling your body up with your palms facing away from your body. This gives you less reliance on your bicep and makes the exercise more difficult to accomplish.</p>
<p>The chin-up on the other hand has our palms facing our body and lets you use more of the bicep muscle, making it easier to lift your body weight.</p>
<p>The right technique for both of them is to draw your body weight up slowly, using the muscles to lift your body, not jerking or jumping partway into the air and then pulling up. There are several other variations of pull-ups and chin-ups you can use that will make the workout easier or more difficult, including  palms facing pull-ups, gripping without the thumb pull-ups, and what are known as kipping pull-ups. You’re probably not going to be able to do ten chin-ups or pulls ups immediately. If you can&#8217;t, then you need to work your way up to it.</p>
<p>Once you are able to do about ten pull-ups, you may want to increase the level of difficulty, by adding some weights, such as wearing a weighted backpack while doing your pull-ups to help build upper body strength. If you don&#8217;t then you should stick with the 25 repetitions without weights.</p>
<h2>50 deadlifts at 135 pounds<a id="deadlifts" name="deadlifts"></a></h2>
<p>The deadlift builds your strength in your back and will teach you to straighten the lower back when lifting a heavier load, thus preventing injury. When you deadlift it is absolutely imperative that you keep that lower back straight up and down. This not only builds the muscle more adequately but prevents injury to you when you&#8217;re lifting upwards from the floor.</p>
<div id="attachment_566" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 250px"><a href="http://www.theonlinehealthguide.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/captain_1_small.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-566" title="captain_1_small" src="http://www.theonlinehealthguide.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/captain_1_small.jpg" alt="Vincent Regan, or &quot;Captain&quot; from 300. Week 0 of the 300 workout" width="240" height="237" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Vincent Regan, or &quot;Captain&quot; from 300. Week 0 of the 300 workout.</p></div>
<p>Dead-lifting has gained a reputation for promoting injury when in reality it isn&#8217;t the lift, it’s the technique that causes the injury.</p>
<p>The correct technique to deadlift is to keep the back completely straight, no rounding.</p>
<p>In the beginning you may not be able to accomplish fifty dead lifts. Do what you can until you fail at it, and work up to the total of fifty deadlifts.</p>
<p>The deadlift will work your back, your legs, and your arms. Grip the bar tightly so that it does not roll away or out of your hands. Keeping your back straight, bring your hips forward, straighten your knees and stand.  As you can tell, this will increase the upper legs and thighs quite a lot if you can execute it correctly. The hard grip on the bar also increases the strength of the forearm as well as the hand.</p>
<p>Make sure that you do keep your back straight and roll the hips forward somewhat to get maximum effect from the deadlift on the upper arms and the thighs.</p>
<h2>50 Push-ups<a id="pushups" name="pushups"></a></h2>
<p>The fifty push-ups that are part of Twight’s routine are designed to build arm and shoulder strength for you. In the beginning you may well not make the entire fifty. Do as many as you can, until failure and work your way up to the top number. The more you can do the better it will build for you.</p>
<p>Push-up is something everyone, both men and women should do simply to increase the health of your muscle tone in the back and shoulders. Lifting anything, even groceries can benefit from a push-up routine.</p>
<p>Your push-ups should look fluid and easy but they should have a technique that makes them a little more difficult to accomplish than they actually look. If they aren&#8217;t, then they are not building your strength at all.</p>
<div id="attachment_567" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 250px"><a href="http://www.theonlinehealthguide.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/captain_2_small.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-567" title="captain_2_small" src="http://www.theonlinehealthguide.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/captain_2_small.jpg" alt="Vincent Regan (Captain) during week four of the 300 workout" width="240" height="237" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Vincent Regan (Captain) during week four of the 300 workout.</p></div>
<p>The push-up will, like the pull-up, make you lift your entire body weight with your arms. The push-up if done correctly works out the chest wall, the shoulders, the triceps and the abdomen. To do a correct push-up, take the starting position for push-ups, and lock your elbows. Lower the body by bending the elbow until the chest is nearly on, but not touching the floor. Push down on the floor to elevate your body into the starting position.</p>
<p>Have your hands spread slightly and keep them out from the body a small amount, so that your balance is good. Tuck the elbows slightly and keep them at a 45 degree angle.  Keep your body in a straight line that is tight from shoulders to feet, and tense the abdominal wall as if you were expecting a punch to the stomach. Keep your head above the chest. The chest should be the leader in the correct push up, with the head elevate above it, not dipping down to the ground. Never let your head lead your chest to the ground. The neck should be as straight as your back and legs are.</p>
<h2>50 box jumps with a 24-inch box<a id="50boxjumps" name="50boxjumps"></a></h2>
<p>Box Jumps are what are known as plyometric exercises that are designed to help you build strength as well as increase your stamina and help you to build on your vertical jumping ability.</p>
<p>The technique is simple enough that it is deceptive and many people don’t feel it will be challenging until they actually try it for themselves. The box jump increases muscle tone, builds and extends the muscles that are in the hamstring, the gluts and the quadriceps. It also builds your coordination and your agility as well as encourages balance.</p>
<p>Stand straight in front of the box or whatever else you may be using. Keep your feet and hips aligned well and your hands hanging loosely by your sides. Your head and neck should not be aimed downward or looking down.</p>
<div id="attachment_568" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 250px"><a href="http://www.theonlinehealthguide.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/captain_3_small.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-568" title="captain_3_small" src="http://www.theonlinehealthguide.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/captain_3_small.jpg" alt="Vincent Regan after 8 weeks of tough training!" width="240" height="237" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Vincent Regan after 8 weeks of tough training!</p></div>
<p>Bend your knees as well as your hips; keep the head and the back straight. Lower the body slightly into a jumping position.  Swinging the arms jump up from the slight crouch bring your feet upwards sharply to gain the top of the box.</p>
<p>Your landing on the box should not be explosive but rather a more soft landing and the legs should take the brunt of the impact that takes place, land in control of your body. As soon as you land on the box stand up completely. Your dismount may be jumping back down, again, landing with control of your body, or stepping down backwards. Either one is acceptable but if you select the step-down, alternate your legs each time so that you are training and your strength building is evenly accomplished.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re not able to accomplish the 24 inch box the first few times you attempt it, lower the level of the box and do a few less repetitions. Until you are able to come to the top of the 24 inch box you can use one which is lower and accomplish as many repetitions that you can. Once you&#8217;ve mastered the box jumps and would like to move along to something more difficult elevate the box that you use to 36 inches or even higher in order to increase the level of difficulty of the exercise.</p>
<p>If you really want to build balance and increase the muscle and jumping skills you can consider wearing weights once you&#8217;ve got the technique and the number up to par with the 24 inch box.</p>
<h2>50 &#8220;floor wipers&#8221; with 135 pound weights<a id="floorwipers" name="floorwipers"></a></h2>
<p>Floor Wipers are another exercise that look a bit more easily accomplished than they really are. If you do them correctly, it’s going to be an incredible workout, but they will look fluid and easy to do.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s one that looks easy enough but it’s really recommended for people who are already in relatively good shape because of the level of difficulty involved. If you&#8217;re having trouble with the weights, lower the weights until you don’t. Doing the exercise until failure will be good in the beginning and then build yourself up to the point where you can do all the repetitions that the workout calls for.</p>
<div id="attachment_570" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 250px"><a href="http://www.theonlinehealthguide.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/guillermo-week-seven.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-570" title="guillermo-week-seven" src="http://www.theonlinehealthguide.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/guillermo-week-seven.jpg" alt="Guillermo Grispo, a 300 movie extra  during week 8 of the 300 workout" width="240" height="240" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Guillermo Grispo, a 300 movie extra  during week 8 of the 300 workout.</p></div>
<p>For this one you&#8217;re going to need the dumbbells or a heavier bar. Lie on your back and press upward on the weights as if you were going to bench press.  The weight should be mostly felt in the back so don&#8217;t overbalance. The Floor wiper works the shoulders and abdomen. Rocking or tipping over isn&#8217;t the best idea so make sure that you can handle the weight you have on the bar.</p>
<p>Keep your arms steady above your head while you tighten the abdominal muscles and lift your heels off the ground. Raise our legs, continuing to move them upward vertically while keeping the legs absolutely straight, and pointing your toes, move them toward the right side, past your hand, and then all the way to the side. Hold the side position for about five seconds and then move it back. Alternate the sides so that your second floor wipe, or pass goes to the left side of your body. This will assure that the strength training taking place is equal on both sides of the body.</p>
<p>If you are unable to hold the weight that is suggested, then start by lowering it about fifty pounds and doing less repetitions than the workout suggests, working them until failure and building up slowly over the course of time. Never have too heavy a weight on that will put you off balance since you will be lifting your legs at the same time that you are lifting the weights. If you&#8217;re not at ease with what you&#8217;re holding, lower it. Use a spotter to make sure that this one doesn&#8217;t get you injured if you&#8217;re not in the best shape when you start out.</p>
<h2>50 &#8220;clean and press&#8221; at 36 pounds</h2>
<p>Clean and Press is a weight lifting exercise that is accomplished by standing with the feet just about shoulder width apart&#8230; The bar that you&#8217;ll be using will lie about two inches from your ankles. Using what is called the over grip, or the pronated grip, take hold of the bar with your hands pressed so that they are just outside the width of your shoulders. Then  you&#8217;re going to keep your arms straight and push back and up with your legs so that the bar ends up at just about the hip position. Now you’re going to pull in coordination with the shoulder shrug type movement an explosive movement for this aspect is best.</p>
<div id="attachment_569" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 250px"><a href="http://www.theonlinehealthguide.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/guillermo-week-12.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-569" title="guillermo-week-12" src="http://www.theonlinehealthguide.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/guillermo-week-12.jpg" alt="Guillermo Grispo during week 12 of the 300 movie workout" width="240" height="240" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Guillermo Grispo during week 12 of the 300 movie workout.</p></div>
<p>Here comes the tricky part. You can squat to clean the weight. What that means is that the end of the second pull is going to find the weight sitting at your ab section. Keep on pulling; with your elbows placed fairly high and drop into a squat as deeply as you can to put the bar ending up at your shoulders. At the same time, your wrists are going to turn over and catch the weight at the shoulder near your collarbone. A few things are happening at one time with this one so if you&#8217;re not used to it, make sure you&#8217;ve got great spotters and use a weight you are very comfortable with.</p>
<p>Getting back to upright keep the shoulder position for the bar while pressing your elbows forward and up higher to make sure that the bar doesn&#8217;t do any rolling. You may also use what’s called a power clean so that you don’t have the squat involved. Pull the weight up to your shoulders before your wrists go over to catch it.</p>
<p>You want to lower the bar as cleanly, as smooth and controlled motion as you can down to waist height, then keeping it still, control it down to the floor.</p>
<h2>25 more pull-ups: Ending with a total 300 reps for the workout.<a id="pullups2" name="pullups2"></a></h2>
<p>You’re going to be tired, but remember to keep the pull-ups clean and controlled and to not use bad jerking form to pull up with. Use the muscles of the arms, not the legs to get you up there.</p>
<h2>The Diet You Need For the 300 Workout<a id="diet" name="diet"></a></h2>
<p>Today body builders and weight trainers know that the protein diets are the way to go. The higher protein diet has also become widely popular with those who aren&#8217;t working out simply because it works for them for weight loss.</p>
<p>Regardless of your goals there aren&#8217;t too many people out there who can&#8217;t benefit from eating a diet that is higher in protein and eating some high protein shakes and foods along the way.</p>
<div id="attachment_571" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 250px"><a href="http://www.theonlinehealthguide.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/robert-maillet.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-571" title="robert-maillet" src="http://www.theonlinehealthguide.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/robert-maillet.jpg" alt="Robert Maillet who is better known as the Uber Immortal (Giant) badguy, having a chat with Mark Twight (the creator of the workout)." width="240" height="240" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Robert Maillet who is better known as the Uber Immortal (Giant) badguy, having a chat with Mark Twight (the creator of the workout).</p></div>
<p>Whether you want to gain weight, lose weight, gain muscle or simply get fit, a higher protein diet can help you to do that. Take a look at why a diet that is higher in protein can be so effective in helping you to meet your strength training or weight loss goals.</p>
<p>Regardless of what you may have been told, the body needs protein. Our bodies are set up to require them. They are the building materials that your muscles need to grow and get stronger. A diet that is higher in protein is the essential means to give your body what it needs aside from the exercise to build that muscle that you want. Clean lean protein is the way to go, not high fat and high carb diets, although some carbs do have their place in your diet. The simple truth is this. If you don’t have enough protein in your diet, you will not gain muscle, Fact. The body is breaking down muscle when you train. To build it back up, you&#8217;re not going to be successful if you don’t&#8217; have some high protein intake.</p>
<h2>Where can I buy the right protein?<a id="protien" name="protien"></a></h2>
<p>Checkout <a href="http://www.theonlinehealthguide.com/visit/whey-protein.php" target="_blank">Whey Protein</a>, they have a range of products suited for this workout.</p>
<p>Okay but how does that work for people who are trying to lose weight? Essentially in the same way &#8211; Most protein foods that are higher in protein, such as fish and chicken, are also lower in fat. Now remember we said lean meats. Eating a diet that is higher in protein and lower in fat and carbohydrates means you&#8217;re going to stay full longer, you&#8217;re going to get what you need to build muscle and the body isn&#8217;t storing fat because you’re using what you take-in. Eating lower carbs and staying clear of fat is the common sense part of it of course. Some of the foods you want to take in during your high protein, low carb and low fat approach to diet and weight loss, as well as weight lifting and strength training are</p>
<ul>
<li>Fish</li>
<li>Chicken</li>
<li>Turkey</li>
<li>Lean Beef</li>
<li>Eggs (Mainly the white but also yellow occasionally)</li>
</ul>
<p>How much protein do you need to take in when you’re using a high protein diet approach? Around a gram per pound of body weight. If you weigh in at 150, and you&#8217;re in a weight training or strength training program, you want to take in about 150 grams of protein to keep your body in good shape, well fuelled and making muscle.</p>
<div id="attachment_572" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 250px"><a href="http://www.theonlinehealthguide.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/zac.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-572" title="zac" src="http://www.theonlinehealthguide.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/zac.jpg" alt="Last but not least, the directory of 300 Zack Snyder having a go!" width="240" height="240" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Last but not least, the director of 300 Zack Snyder having a try himself!</p></div>
<p>Granted that’s a lot of protein. You&#8217;re probably wondering how on earth you can eat that amount and what you&#8217;re going to have to eat to get that amount.  The fact is that you probably can&#8217;t eat that amount of protein in a day or you&#8217;re going to be eating your own weight. Well not really, but there are better ways. Protein shakes, protein powders, protein bars are all helpful supplements to get you the amount of protein that you need during the course of a day.</p>
<p>Drinking a protein shake can give you about 25-35 grams of protein and will take just a few minutes to consume. The bars also offer you about 25-30 grams of protein and they taste terrific so it’s a small treat that you can give yourself while you&#8217;re leaving those carbs behind and eating mainly protein. Lastly, bear in mind that it’s not just what you&#8217;re eating, but when you eat it that makes the difference too.</p>
<p>The best times to eat are when you wake up, before bedtime and most assuredly right after any heavy workout. That is an essential that you don&#8217;t want to forget. The most important part of eating a high protein diet is to keep the body well fuelled for making muscle. Moving toward five smaller meals, rather than three larger ones may be a very positive method for you to keep that protein in the body when you need it.</p>
<h2>Speeding your workout along with supplements<a id="supplements" name="supplements"></a></h2>
<p>Now granted, there aren&#8217;t really any shortcuts to a good diet and a solid workout plan but there may be a shortcut or two that you can take to help your body build muscle faster and keep it healthy during the process. A supplement that is making the rounds of body builders and strength trainers that seem to be helpful to many is  <a href="http://www.theonlinehealthguide.com/visit/force-factor.php" target="_blank">Muscle Max</a>.</p>
<p>There are a few others as well. Some herbal supplements that assist with stamina. Known as adaptogens that help the body deal with stress, stamina and with strength. Most notable of these herbs is American Ginseng, which is well known for assisting recovery and stamina when the body is a large amount of strain.</p>
<p>Creatine and Amino acids may also help the body in its quest to gain muscle faster and lose unwanted pounds. Several others which have been favorably mentioned by body builders and weight trainers are Muscle Max, which is a combination of several essential parts of nutrition.</p>
<p>Muscle Max, a combination of several excellent products known to work for athletes. Arginines are at about 2000 mg to help your body boost the Nitric Oxides for better performance. Muscle Max contains no type of caffeine so you&#8217;re going to steer clear of those caffeine jitters that no one wants when they are trying to train. Muscle Max includes essential nutrients that may assist you in losing weight, gaining muscle having more stamina and staying mentally alert longer. Celebrities swear by it, body builders say it works for them and who are we to argue? Muscle Max seems to be one method that might be able to help you to gain that muscle that you want and lose the body fat that you don’t&#8217; want, at the same time. The company does offer a free trial of Muscle Max, designed to let you decide if the supplement is the right one for you and your workout needs.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.theonlinehealthguide.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/acai1.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-408" title="acai1" src="http://www.theonlinehealthguide.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/acai1.jpg" alt="acai1" width="100" height="100" /></a>Acai Berry trials for free is an offer that many online stores are giving out to let people experience the various health benefits of their product. Free trial period usually varies from 7 days to as long as 30 days.</p>
<p>Many companies, especially those that are selling online, provide such offers as a means to lure customers into using the product and letting people see how effective Acai Berry is, whether as supplements, juice, or powder.</p>
<p>Since an Acai Berry trail is usually free, sure enough, many individuals are signing up for a free trial, hoping that this product will really give them the benefits that have been promised by manufacturers. For many, the experience led to the wonderful discovery of a new product that can really help in keeping the weight down, boosting immunity, or even fighting the aging process.</p>
<p>For some, however, the free trial became a nightmare. Although there are many legitimate online stores on the Internet, there are also a few unscrupulous individuals ready to pull a fast one on consumers. Thus, it is important for everyone to carefully read the terms and conditions of the Acai Berry trail promo before signing up.</p>
<p>The first thing to do is to check the fine print. Even if the terms and conditions are long and hard to understand, you should read them very carefully. It would even be better if you read them a couple of times before signing up.</p>
<p>Do not overlook the fine print that is usually located at the bottom part of the offer page of the free trial. In this part you will learn about promo coupling, price of each bottle, mechanics of ordering, and many other things.</p>
<p>One thing that is common in many promo rules is that the company will automatically send you another Acai Berry product or supplement if you do not cancel before the end of the trial period. If you forget to email, call, or contact the seller, you will be charged with shipping and product costs.</p>
<p>There is really nothing wrong with this if you want the supplement and you are interested in continuing product use. However, if you do not want to use the product anymore, be sure to call or email the supplier before the trial period ends. In some cases, its imperative to check out the fine print. The phone numbers only give you a recording telling you to go the the web site to cancel and the web site chat is not available. It becomes a circle that you can’t outrun. Test phone numbers before giving out your credit card number.</p>
<p>Again, before you sign up for any Acai Berry trail (or any free trial for that matter), be sure that you fully understand the terms and conditions of the promo. Also, be careful with giving out your credit card details.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.theonlinehealthguide.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/acaiberry1.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-403" title="acaiberry1" src="http://www.theonlinehealthguide.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/acaiberry1.jpg" alt="acaiberry1" width="100" height="100" /></a>Benefits of Acai Berry to your health are numerous. This fruit, which is reddish purple, comes from a palm tree that is endemic in South and Central America. Blueberries, cranberries and other dark purplish fruits are all related to the Acai Berry plant.</p>
<p>One of the most important benefits of Acai Berry is that it is rich in antioxidants. As many people probably know, the aging process is actually caused by oxidative damages due to stress, poor eating habits, smoking, and even environmental pollution.</p>
<p>Antioxidants are known to help counteract such negative effects down to the cellular level. So, not only will you be protecting your cells from speeding aging process, but you will also be able to lower the risk of certain illnesses if you have ample antioxidants in the body.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.theonlinehealthguide.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/acaiberry.jpg"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-404" title="acaiberry" src="http://www.theonlinehealthguide.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/acaiberry.jpg" alt="acaiberry" width="300" height="200" /></a>Acai Berry, just like other fruits that are dark red and purple in color, is also good for the heart. If you are not fond of drinking wine, then you can protect your cardiovascular health by eating such berries or taking supplements that contain this fruit.</p>
<p>Keeping skin soft and glowing is also among the benefits of Acai Berry that people are excited about. In fact, there are many cosmetic and beauty products in the market that contain the plant’s oil. Because it is rich in antioxidants, Acai Berry is also believed to help make skin, hair, and scalp hydrated and fresh.</p>
<p>Clinical studies conducted on cultured human cells show that anthocyanins found in Acai Berry are also helpful in fighting certain types of cancer. But even if Acai is a nutritional fruit, do not think that this is a miracle food. Eating the berries or drinking supplements with Acai essences can help you fight illnesses including cancer, but there are no studies showing that such berries will eliminate existing cancer cells in the body.</p>
<p>Eating Acai Berry is also known to help boost the immune system. The compound anthocyanins found in the fruit is still the one responsible for strengthening your immunity against diseases.</p>
<p>Although there is no evidence directly linking Acai Berry for weight loss, many people claim that taking supplements or drinking juice containing this fruit have helped them lose weight. One of the reasons behind this is that this berry helps fight destructive microorganisms in the body that promote weight gain.</p>
<p>Based on the benefits of Acai Berry enumerated above, it seems that this fruit is indeed good for the body. Adding Acai to your diet daily will  quite possible make you feel healthy and look younger too.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.theonlinehealthguide.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/excess.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-364" title="excess" src="http://www.theonlinehealthguide.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/excess.jpg" alt="excess" width="100" height="100" /></a>Summer has come and with it the need to shed the heavy winter coats and the desire to lose weight to look more attractive in your summer time outfits.  Instead of reading the latest Danielle Steele book on the beaches, many people are going to be reading up on how to lose excess body fat.</p>
<p>If you have given up your hopes of obtaining the body of your dreams, do not despair.  A healthy, good-looking body is in your reach if you are committed to your goals.  The main thing is to come up with a plan and stick with it and not yield to temptation.  A healthy diet and a daily exercise routine can melt those pounds and dissolve unsightly fat.</p>
<p>A well-balanced meal is necessary for those wondering how to lose excess body fat.  Be sure to eat low-fat proteins as well as fruits and vegetables.  This will prevent hunger pangs from luring you into fattening foods.</p>
<p>It is true that breakfast is the most important meal of the day.  Eating breakfast helps your body turn fat into energy plus helps you avoid unhealthy snacks.</p>
<p>Although it may sound unnatural, you need to eat more frequently.  Just take in a smaller amount of food each time you eat.  Be sure to include green vegetables in your snack.  Keeping your stomach full is necessary to avoid splurging on foods that add to your waistline.  Schedule your meals and snacks for regular intervals.  Consistency is the key to maintaining your diet.</p>
<p>Drinking plenty of water is also necessary for those investigating how to lose excess body fat.  Water flushes the fat out of your system and saves you from becoming dehydrated.  Keep to drinking 8 glasses of water every day – you will feel healthier, be more alert, and have more energy.</p>
<p>A healthy exercise routine is also necessary in order to lose unwanted inches.  Many people become concerned about the possible time commitments that might be involved in daily exercise.  However, just 10 minutes a day in exercise can result in very healthy benefits.  Taking a 10 minute walk can decrease your stress level, act as a mini-vacation for your brain, and can help you get the trimmer body you want.</p>
<p>People wondering how to lose excess body fat will find quicker results through cardio vascular workouts.  This also benefits you by improving the flow of oxygen into your blood and strengthens your heart muscles.  Daily cardio vascular exercise can prevent diseases such as diabetes and heart conditions.</p>
<p>A healthier heart is just one of the benefits of a regimen undertaken by those researching how to lose excess body fats.  Being able to fit into an outfit that has been just taking up space in the closet is another benefit.</p>
