Teaching Hatha Yoga – Essentials For Beginners
Posted by admin | Filed under Yoga
The beginning of September is a busy time for Yoga teachers and Yoga studios in North America. This is the time of year when children go back to school and parents make decisions about activities for the next nine months. Whether there are more resolutions, made during September or January, is a subject for debate.
Bearing this in mind, many Yoga studios design advertisements, flyers, brochures, mailers, and web sites for prospective students’ needs. In this time of plenty, after the “long lonely summer,” some Yoga teachers scramble to accommodate every perceived student need.
Some studios tie up crucial funds in Yoga mats and equipment. While it is true that you should have props available, there is no logic in buying Yoga mats for more money than your students will pay at the local retail store. Letting Yoga supplies sit in a closet, unused for five years, is a waste of space, time, and funds.
About new Yoga classes: Do design classes and workshops to meet needs that are in demand within your local community. If you live in a predominantly retired community, there may not be a large demand for Power Yoga, Kids Yoga, and Prenatal Yoga. On the other hand, if you live in the heart of a college neighborhood, there may be a limited demand for Senior Yoga classes.
This may sound like common sense, but sometimes we lack the information needed to understand the niche markets within our specific communities. If you receive numerous requests for a specific type of Yoga, you should have a workshop, which meets one to three times, to see if there is a real demand for it.
We often confuse ourselves by thinking our studios should be structured like a general store. There is nothing wrong with having a variety of Yoga styles to choose from, but there is no need for every program, if some classes do not attract students.
In some cases, the classes are in direct competition with each other. For example: If you have beginners, gentle, restorative, and rehabilitative on the list, you must give an in-depth explanation as to how they are different from each other. How will they help a student who knows nothing about Yoga?
It is important to listen to the opinion of someone who knows nothing about Yoga. We often forget how we originally perceived Yoga. It must be remembered that the term “beginner,” is a reflection of a lack of knowledge. Therefore, we must design our brochures and classes for beginners.

Find The Golf Workouts That Suit You
Posted by admin | Filed under Fitness news
Nowadays women as well as men enjoy playing golf. People who want to play golf without injuring themselves need to consider some sort of fitness or exercise program that will improve their general stability, power and strength. Playing a proper game of golf involves paying attention to the above three areas.
If you are new to golf then you should understand that golf is a very strenuous game and because it involves the golfer in taking up some rather unnatural positions there is a lot of potential for serious injury. Exercise programs and golf workouts are designed to drastically reduce the likelihood of serious damage while at the same time improving your general fitness and also your golf game.
Golf workouts that concentrate on flexibility are crucial if you want to improve your golf swing and avoid injuring yourself. You will also need to concentrate on improving your strength as a good swing needs considerable power behind it. One way of improving your golf swing is to develop a golf workout that mimics the swing. Exercises where the emphasis is on your shoulders, core, hips and lower back should be an important aspect of any workout that is designed to help improve your golf swing. To incorporate these into your workout routine you need to work on stretching exercises that are specifically designed to help golfers.
Your aim in improving your swing during your golf workouts is to drive the ball further and straighter than you have done before. Plan what you should be doing during your working out periods, golf swings involve a complex set of movements where the target is to increase your flexibility.
Many golfers use weights or a medicine ball to help them in their flexibility workouts because a certain amount of resistance is needed if you want to improve the power of your swing. To do this properly you need to concentrate on your posture and balance before the swing and then on the rotational moves that you make with your body. Workouts that are specifically tailored to golfers will help you to improve your balance and your swing. You need the resistance in order to take your body past its natural swinging movement and this helps to strengthen your abdominal muscles.
When you work on exercises that are designed to improve your game you need to concentrate on those that improve both your strength and flexibility as this will not only add power to your swing, it will make your swing more consistent. Workouts that concentrate on turning or twisting your body while using a weight is the primary factor in improving your driving distance.
Try to put together golf workouts that can be fitted into your normal routine. You don’t need to visit a gym in order to do some golfing specific exercises. Stretching exercises can be performed whenever you get a short break during the day. Remember that the aim is to find golf workouts that suit you and fit into your lifestyle.

Fat Loss Circuit Training Workout
Posted by admin | Filed under Fitness news
Today I’d like to give you an exciting full body workout that will burn tons of calories and leave you feeling great in just 40 minutes. So if you want to burn fat, tone up, and get fit then this workout is for you.
Another great advantage of this workout is that all you need to complete it is a set of dumbbells, a stability ball, and a step. A cardio machine is advised for your interval training component.
The fat burning workout I’m about to provide you with is an example of the type of circuit training workouts that are a key component of my Fitter U fat loss fitness program.
So here’s how it’s going to work. We’re going to take 6 exercises and set them up in a circuit training routine. For each exercise you will be completing as many repetitions as possible in a 30 second time period. After each exercise you will then rest for 30 seconds before moving on to the next one. Once you’ve completed the entire first set you can then grab a sip of water and rest for 1-2 minutes.
After your 1-2 minute rest period, you will then choose a cardio machine and perform 5 minutes of intervals. The interval training component is a great way to spike your metabolism and burn further calories in just a few minutes. For these intervals you will be working hard for 10 seconds and recovering for 50 seconds. This will be repeated 5 times for a total of 5 minutes.
For instance, if you are on the bike you would pedal as fast as possible (at a good resistance) for 10 seconds and then follow that with a nice and easy 50 second recovery. Got it? Awesome!
Both the circuit training and interval training sequences are repeated twice.
So here’s how the workout structure will look:
Warm-up
5 minutes light cardio
CIRCUIT 1 (30 sec. work, 30 sec. rest)
Standing lunges Plank Step-ups with biceps curls and shoulder press Push-ups Stability ball crunches Ball squats (against wall) with biceps curls
Rest 1-2 minutes
INTERVAL TRAINING 1 (10 sec. hard, 50 sec. recovery)
Rest 1-2 minutes
CIRCUIT 2 (30 sec. work, 30 sec. rest)
Standing lunges Plank Step-ups with biceps curls and shoulder press Push-ups Stability ball crunches Ball squats (against wall) with biceps curls
Rest 1-2 minutes
INTERVAL TRAINING 2 (10 sec. hard, 50 sec. recovery)
This entire workout should take you no more than 40 minutes.
Give it a shot and experience the Fitter U difference.

7 Explosive Exercises to Show You How to Get Massive Strength in Your Biceps
Posted by admin | Filed under Fitness news
Hi everyone!
So you want to know how to get massive strength in your biceps? The trick is to get creative. The following 7 exercises are unique explosive bicep exercises that you probably typically don’t do or haven’t heard of before.
Exercise 1: Double Handed Hammer Grip Single Dumbbell Preacher Curl
3 Sets & 8 to 12 Reps per Set
Exercise 2: Isometric Chest & Two Handed Single Dumbbell Preacher Curl
3 Sets & 8 to 12 Reps per Set
Exercise 3: Single Arm Towel Cable Twist Curl
3 Sets & 8 to 12 Reps per Set
Exercise 4: Towel Chin Ups
3 Sets to Failure
Exercise 5: Towel Barbbell Curls
3 Sets & 8 to 10 Reps
Exercise 6: Reverse Barbbell Curls
3 Sets & 8 to 12 Reps per Set
Exercise 7: Free Weight Pinch Curls
3 Sets & 8 to 12 Reps per Set
These exercises obviously put almost all the focus on biceps but throwing in the towel into these exercises enables you to work on your grip strength. Improving your grip strength is key if you want to lift heavier weights in the future and is fundamental on how to get additional strength in your biceps. Equally important is building additional strength in your forearms. Reverse barbbell curls get those forearms burning and again are another fundamental on how to get more strength in your biceps.
Do this workout twice a week. Make your first bicep workout a power workout and take 60 to 90 second break between sets. Make your second bicep workout of the week a muscular endurance and conditioning workout. Do the 7 exercises as a circuit and try and take as few breaks as possible between sets. The goal is to be able to complete a circuit with no breaks. Once you have completed the circuit, take a 2 to 3 minute break and repeat. Do 3 circuits to complete the workout.
As you can see, we are really mixing it up and using unconventional explosive exercises that are not typically used. This method of keeping things fresh and new is what keeps your muscles guessing and this s the most important aspect towards further muscle development and is the way on how to get massive strength in your biceps.

Fitness Training for Winter
Posted by admin | Filed under Fitness news
It’s a frustrating ordeal – your new year starts out great, you get yourself looking and feeling superb and then six months down the line everything seems to take a turn for the worst. Your hard earned six pack starts to look more like a two pack and the jeans just doesn’t seem to zip up with ease. You want to eat everything in sight and the word motivation holds very little appeal.
If you’re one of those seasonal exercises that would rather stay tucked under the covers than get down to the gym, you’re probably one of thousands suffering from the winter blues. What exactly distracts us from our healthy discipline and determination when it comes to the cold factor? Quite simply put, our minds set switches and we tend to allow this to turn into a downward spiral.
As we pack our skimpy gear away, out comes the big sweaters and baggy trousers ready to cover up any excess flesh. In addition, the chilly weather is conducive to tucking into that chocolate muffin and cappuccino, or going for that extra helping of beef goulash. As the kilos pile on, so the layers cover up the excess flesh. A kilo a month seems harmless until four months later the realization hits home – yikes, nothing fits.
Careful planning could prevent all this from happening, making the transition to summer that much easier. Two important factors to acknowledge are, firstly, our internal thermostat revs up during winter in an attempt to keep us warm. By simply controlling your intake of food and exercising regularly you can take advantage of this extra burn. Secondly, exercise is the best anti-depressant. It releases endorphins, which decreases depression, stress and anxiety.
The problem starts with our blood sugar levels. Poor eating habits and lack of exercise wreak havoc, setting you up for sugar cravings, weight gain and depression. This adds more fuel to the fire as you contemplate exercise on those dark cold mornings.
Here as some sensible tips to keep you on track and help you beat the blues.
Keep busy – Physical Activity Energy Expenditure (PAEE) is our biggest kilo joule burner and the accumulative effect is what really pays off. Activities such as gardening, playing ball with the kids, taking the dog for a walk or parking your car far from the supermarket are all smart ways to sneak exercise into your day.
Even if you don’t manage to exercise as much as you did in the summer months, make sure you fit at least three sessions in per week, covering cardiovascular, strength and flexibility training. Encourage a friend to train with you to keep you motivated.
Avoid getting to the point where you have to eat comfort food. Eat good quality carbohydrates, protein and fats at regular intervals to prevent sugar low.
If you do have a binge on all the wrong stuff – get over it.
Whatever you do, don’t buy bigger clothes.
It’s all a mindset – try to weigh up the pros of exercise and feeling good, versus the cons of tucking into a delicious double helping of dessert and feeling awful.
Decide which pain is worse – the pain of looking at your expanding behind in the mirror, or the pain of giving up your favorite food. The choice is really yours.
