Getting Stronger But Not Bigger- How to Lift and Stay Lean

As we have all been taught, it is true … that “seeing is believing.” One of the many fears us girls have when it comes to lifting, is that we are going to put on a dress for date night and resemble Arnold’s The Terminator. However, that couldn’t be further from the truth.

So then, did you notice anything about the above women? You know, other than they all have amazing bodies that would even look fabulous in a paper sack? Hopefully you took note that they all are still THIN and are very TONED thanks to LIFTING.

Yes, lifting isn’t an enemy. In fact, it can not only help you lose weight, but keep it off. Muscle burns fat. Time and time again science has proven that when you exercise you are using your muscle groups.

The more you use them the more opportunity to build muscle mass. The resulting muscle tissue will burn more calories, even when you are at rest! According to some research and studies, even 10 pounds of muscle would burn an additional 50 calories in a day spent at rest.

While on the contrast, 10 pounds of fat would burn only 20 calories. That is over 50% less of a calorie burn. So then, which would you rather work to have more fat or more muscle?

Getting Stronger But Not Bigger

Getting Stronger But Not Bigger

Here is where working hard to gain more lean muscle comes into play. If you are able to maintain your muscle mass you will most likely find yourself in the group of people who keep from gaining weight as they get older. However, to maintain your muscle mass you will need to strength train. There is no way or shortcut around it; AND doing only cardio will not do it for you either.

Nevertheless, knowing all of that is wonderful, but if you do not do it out of fear of becoming “bulky” you will do yourself a major disservice. Oftentimes, the bulkiness look occurs when one is eating way too much while lifting weights. A lot of guys do this method in order to look “bigger.” However, it really boils down to one having excess body fat. While a calorie deficit will help you lose excess, when strength training you should never go below a 25% calorie deficit; or you may jeopardize your training from not being able to sustain your diet/workout routine.

If you are someone trying to be leaner the goal should be to add muscle without excess size. This can be achieved by stopping one or two reps before failure. Meaning before you literally cannot do another rep. If you push the muscle past failure and fatiguing you will encourage the muscle to add size. Therefore, your focus should be on gaining more strength while avoiding failure in order to build a more firm as well as dense looking muscle.

Girl Fitness: How to be a Lean Mass Gainer Without Bulking Up

Lean Mass Gainer

STOP! If you lift weights you are going to bulk up!!! Unfortunately, that is the fitness myth women have been scaring and passing along to other women for decades. The truth is if you desire to be a lean mass gainer; it is not how much you’re lifting, but rather how you are lifting it.

You see, the truth about toning is that heavy weights help you to not only gain more strength; but also require less cardio and maintain moderate fat loss. A goal that many ladies aiming to be thinner would like to achieve. However, that is not how most go about.

Girl Fitness: How to be a Lean Mass Gainer Without Bulking Up

We all have done it… crash diets, excessive amounts of cardio and trying out the latest record breaking fat-burning workout. Yet, these types of methods are not always to keep up in the long run. Many of us have the power to dig deep within to keep up for bit, but then find ourselves back at square one again. So what’s the answer?

To be leaner, you have to do what it truly encompasses then take the right actions that will get lean and remain that way. So then, to begin with it’s important to know what does it mean to have a lean body mass.

Lean body mass is basically a calculation of taking your total body weight and subtracting body fat weight. It’s the mass of the body minus the storage lipid otherwise known as fat. Or in real super basic terms, it is the amount of weight you carry on your body that is not fat.

The goal many women have is to keep their lean body mass while dropping your body fat percentage down. As the fat falls away they will look leaner and very toned. So how can this be done?

Girl Fitness: How to be a Lean Mass Gainer Without Bulking Up (Continued)

Lean Mass Gainer

Training with heavier weights will help to develop actual muscle. Now if your end goal is tone up and decrease fat, it is highly recommended to stop one or two reps before hitting muscle failure. If you push past muscle failure and come to fatigue the muscle then you will most likely add size.

For a bodybuilder that’s awesome news! Nevertheless, for most of us that is not our fitness goals. We want the tone without minus the bulk. So it’s all about pushing yourself, but not going all the way to complete muscle fatigue.

Lastly, always remember that fat loss is dependent upon consistency. Allow us to repeat that. If you want to experience steady and sustainable fat loss you have to be consistent.

Stop and go may work for traffic on the streets, but it works havoc on any weight loss or fitness plan. Therefore, truly commit to your goals and yourself. You owe to YOU to become everything you want to be and should you. Anything is possible and you can do it because now you have the real secret to being a lean mass gainer!

Honest Truth: Are All Gluten Free Foods Nasty?

All Gluten Free Foods

Are all gluten free foods nasty? No. However, you will need to shop around and be willing to test out a bunch of brands; until you locate what tastes “normal” to you.

While going gluten free you will notice that bread does not seem to taste the same like gluten bread. Pasta is not quite pasta. Moreover, even crackers seem to be a little bit off. You see, the issue is if you have been eating processed foods with gluten all your life; you are used to various tastes and flavors that food companies have manufactured.

Most gluten free foods will not possess these exact same flavors, if as much flavor at all. As a result, you may have to readjust your taste buds some and be willing to search out like a treasure hunter all gluten free foods that seem to be more like “the real thing.” Nonetheless, do not worry they are out there!

Honest Truth: Are All Gluten Free Foods Nasty – There’s Hope

All Gluten Free Foods

For instance, food brand B Free sells various types of breads from rolls to bagels and sliced loaves. Their bread products are awesome because you can toast them up like gluten filled bread without them falling apart or melting away.

While UDI’s is a major name in the gluten free realm, a lot times their products fall short in the taste department. It can feel like you are consuming bland cardboard. However, even if you are unable to discover gluten free products with tons of awesome flavor; there are some things you can do to up the taste factor.

Going back to bread try using very flavorful cheese or sliced meats to give the bread of your choice a much needed boost. Boars Head is absolutely a savior in this department! Their meats and cheeses are gluten free and FULL of flavor. Making them a safe find for those aiming to stick to a gluten free diet as well as a food haven for celiacs.

Black Girl Fitness: Couple Workout Routine -Halle Berry Demonstrates!

Couple Workout Routine

Summer will be here before we know it. Don’t let warmer weather, bikinis, maxi dresses, and short-shorts catch you off guard. Get ready to showcase your best body ever, by doing a hard-hitting couple workout routine right now!

Black Girl Fitness: Couple Workout Routine -Halle Berry Demonstrates

Actress Halle Berry is still spilling all of her fitness secrets. Her latest? Working out with your SO. Nevertheless, why should you give this type of workout a try? Berry says,

“Today is all about the couple workout. It’s often easier to workout with a partner. A partner holds you accountable so you won’t quit halfway through. A partner can spot you so you don’t injure yourself; but most of all, working out with a partner just makes it all more fun!

Here are two simple exercises you and your boo can do at home. It’s a plank with a squat and each person gets a workout at the same time. Squats for butt and legs, and plank for core and upper body. Do 20 reps for 10 sets. If you’re just beginning, do 10 reps for 5 sets.”

Couple Workout Routine -Halle Berry Demonstrates

Halle Berry is one of the hottest women ever. Therefore, if that is her advice we are taking it! Get like Halle and try out this couple workout routine. Here is how to do it with photo reference!

Couple Workout Routine Couple Workout Routine

One partner gets into plank position, while the other stands behind in a deep squat with feet slightly wider than shoulder width apart; while holding the planker’s feet. The squater should then stand up with knees slightly bent. This is the start position.

From the start position, the planker continues to hold their position while the squater squats down. Perform 20 reps for 10 sets, or if just beginning, do 10 reps for 5 sets.

Once all the sets are completed, switch positions. The squater moves to the plank, while the planker becomes the squater. Then perform the same amount of reps again. Want a major challenge? Instead of reps just do as many reps as you can do before the burn becomes too much.

Couple Workout Routine

Working out solo is cool, but don’t miss out on all the benefits that working out as a couple can accomplish! While there are SO many, here are five awesome benefits that may just convince you to give Halle’s tip a try.

Keeping Things Fresh– Sometimes after awhile working out can seem a little stale. Used to the same walls, scenery, moves and music. However, add a partner and now its a party! Suddenly, exercising will feel less like the norm thanks to the addition of a new dynamic. Plus, you may find yourself working even harder just to impress your babe.

Stronger Bond– You both will be sticking closer than a pair of atoms. Science and research is showing that couples that work out together experience a stronger bond with each other which leads to a strengthened relationship. Awwww!

I Challenge You to a Duel!- Without swords of course, unless you both are into that kind of thing or fencing. Nevertheless, a couple workout routine provides an avenue for healthy competition. As both partners challenge each other to workout harder or longer, better results can be experienced and achieved.

Mama I’m a Cheerleader– Everyone needs encouragement sometimes. The great thing is when you are working out with your love you have a built in cheerleader. Someone with your best interests in mind that also wants to see you succeed. Both of you can “woo” and “you got this” each other to more tone bodies.

Catching FeelingsAnd Z’s– As we already established you and the boo will be falling for each other more. However, by getting your fitness on you both will also enjoy better sleep and less stress. Score!

Yes, we all have a little bit of Bond Girl in us; she just might need a little help getting out. Halle Berry is convinced that the Plank Pull is a great place to start. Why not just a regular plank?

Well, planks are excellent for strengthening the core, but after awhile how long do you really want to be stuck holding that position? Therefore, to get more bang out of your buck all you have to do is tack on an additional element. The movement involved with Plank Pulls forces your body to stabilize itself. This slight variation will make the move more challenging allowing you to work your stomach muscles even more fully. Score!

Now that we know why to perform one of Berry’s signature fitness moves; still begs the question, how can we attain and keep a physique like an Oscar winning actress. During one of her new Fit Friday tips Halle kindly gave her fans some exercise advice. She says,

“It’s fitness Friday! You asked how to get started? It’s simple, you just decide to start!

You decide today that you are worth it! Trust me, I know it’s hard to focus and dedicate time to working out each day, but with 24 hours in the day you can surely take one and dedicate it to you! You don’t need a fancy gym to get started. All you need is a living room, the patio, kitchen floor, a driveway or a backyard, and a bottle water.

Plank Pull - Halle Berry Shows and Tells How to Get Her Abs

This simple exercise is called a plank pull. This starts to strengthen your core, and a strong core has been key to my workouts.

Each week I’m going to pick a question that you asked and Peter, my trainer, and I will do our best to answer. First, we were asked: If you have weight to lose, is it better to lose weight before you start working out? Peter says it’s best to do them simultaneously.

You can start by walking each day or doing jumping jacks for cardio, while using very light weight. Or again holding water bottles in each hand if you don’t have weights. And you can also start the plank pulls.”

Plank Pull – Halle Berry’s Trainer Demonstrates

Alright, so we got the motivation and we know all the benefits. Now it is time to implement! Halle Berry’s trainer, Peter Lee Thomas, breakdowns how to do the Plank Pull with excellent form!

What You Will Need

  • Full Water Bottle or Light Weight
  • Your Own Body Weight

Black Girl Fitness- Should I Take a Multivitamin or is it Unnecessary?

 

Take a Multivitamin
   Fitness Model Jamesha LaMonica with Photography by Photos by Darrin

Should I take a multivitamin? That is the question that is plaguing many health-conscious ladies around the world. Furthermore, things get even more confusing when experts with varying views and opinions also weigh in on this topic.

For instance, some health experts say that eating only good, clean, nutritious food is all a person needs. Yet, others still believe strongly that consuming a multivitamin has its place in a proper diet. Therefore, who is right and who is wrong? Also, should taking a multivitamin be a decision that is made more due to a person’s lifestyle or schedule?

Black Girl Fitness- Should I Take a Multivitamin or is it Unnecessary?

Take a Multivitamin

The truth is multivitamins cannot replace good nutritious food, however, they can help. Mr. David Levinsky is a professor at Cornell University. In regards to taking multivitamins daily he says, “I take a multivitamin every day as a little insurance policy. For certain groups of healthy people, especially those whose diet has nutritional gaps, a multivitamin can help fill in those gaps.”

Moreover, health and nutrition expert Madelyn Fernstrom offers up another good reason as to why taking multivitamins could be a benefit. Fernstrom is a professor at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. In reference to multivitamins Madelyn says, “In a perfect world we would all eat a variety of fruits and vegetables. We would all exercise regularly, but that’s not a reality. People can be strapped for time or money and don’t meet their daily nutrient needs. Also, you have to remember that many studies look at large population groups, not individuals.”

Should I Take a Multivitamin or is it Unnecessary?

So then, if a person does decide to take a multivitamin doing so will have its benefits. No, it will never take the place of a good meal. However it will have the ability to help supplement an already healthy diet so that a person can meet the recommended requirements for certain minerals as well as vitamins.

Nevertheless, that brings us to a brand-new issue. What type of supplement or multivitamin should a person take? Also, are all multivitamins created equal?

The scary answer to that last question is that, no, not all multivitamins are created equal. That is because some companies are allowed to sell multivitamins that are not even hundred percent completely derived from actual food. A real concern for anyone who is just trying to live a healthier lifestyle.

Take a Multivitamin or is it Unnecessary? (Cont.)

Take a Multivitamin

However, there is a practical solution to this health issue. Enter… Silver Fern Brand Whole Food Multivitamin. What makes this brand of multivitamin so different? Silver Fern answers, “Here at Silver Fern we believe you should get the most of your vitamins and minerals through the food you eat! But sometimes it’s hard to consume 8 cups of broccoli 11 cups of kale and 33 cups of spinach in the day we made it easy with our whole food multivitamin just two little capsules a day get the job done!”

But wait there’s even more benefits to taking Whole Foods multivitamins. Silver Fern continues, “A lot of you are wondering about multivitamins and why ours are different. So here it is: vitamins can be synthetic or natural. Many of the multivitamins on the market are synthetic parentheses meaning made in a lab parentheses rather than from actual real food! Companies can label it as natural as long as it contains 10% derived from plants. Silver Fern vitamins are hundred percent natural. Every bit coming from real fruits and vegetables! They are blended up and then we remove the cellulose (plant fiber) sugar, and protein… leaving dense nutrients that are then freeze-dried. We care what you put in your body and it was a frustration with what was on the market that drove us to create this unbeatable product!”
