5 Ways to Cut Your Workout Time

Do you know the 2 biggest reasons men and women stop exercising?

1) Lack of time
2) Lack of motivation

Let's tackle "Lack of Time" today with 5 ways you can get your
workouts done faster. After all, no one should spend more than 50 minutes in the gym.

Here are 5 ways to cut time from your workouts.

a) Supersets

I use "non-competing" superset. This means, choose two exercises for different muscle groups - and preferably completely opposite movements. For example, choose a push and a pull. That way, one muscle group rests while the other works...and you cut the rest time you need between sets.

b) Choose a better warmup strategy

Don't waste 10 minutes walking on the treadmill. Instead, use a
total body circuit of bodyweight exercises as a general warmup, and then move directly into specific warm-up sets for your first two exercises.

c) Pair dumbbell and bodyweight exercises together in your
supersets

This saves you time at home (you don't need to change the dumbbell weight between exercises) and in the gym (you don't need to fight for 2 sets of dumbbells).

d) Choose Intervals over slow cardio

The latest research shows more weight loss when people use
intervals, and intervals take half as long to do.

e) Limit the use of isolation exercises

Pick multi-muscle exercises, such as squats, pulls, pushes, and
rows. If you have time, you can squeeze in some dropsets for arms and shoulders if you want. However, if you only have 3 sessions of 45 minutes per week, isolation exercises must be the first to go.

In addition, don't spend more than 10 minutes per week on direct ab training. It's not efficient and won't give you rock hard abs alone.

PS - Don't know where to start?

If you are a beginner, start by reading Dr. Mohr's nutrition
guidelines...eating properly will be the biggest factor in your
early success.

Beginners should also start with the Introductory TT workouts to prepare their muscles for the upcoming intense training.

For others, it's best to start with the Intermediate Level TT
workouts. If those aren't enough of a challenge, you can move onto the Original TT workout and follow the 16-week advanced program right through.

If at any time you need a break, try the TT Bodyweight 4-week plan.

And then finish off with the TT Fusion Fat Loss program followed by the 30-day Maximum Fat Loss program to cap off a full 24 weeks of Advanced TT fat loss workouts.

After that, choose between the TT for Women or TT for Muscle
programs to help put the finishing touches on your physique. All of these are included as bonuses with Turbulence Training.

Skinny Guy's Guide To Creatine

What is creatine? How do I take creatine? What are the side effects of creatine? What is the best creatine? Unless you just arrived from another planet, you should know that when it comes to muscle building supplements, creatine is the king!

To date, creatine has proven to be the most research-proven sport supplement on the market to day. Creatine has collected hundreds of clinical studies that show increased lean muscle mass, improved energy levels, increased muscle strength and size and improved exercise performance. There is even a new batch of research showing creatine supplementation having a significant effect on memory and intelligence, as well as immune function. Bigger, smarter and healthier, not that's a solid combo!
What is creatine?

Creatine acts by supporting the reproduction of ATP (fancy term for energy) in muscle tissue resulting in cell volumization which can create a more optimistic cellular environment for muscle growth. By having more energy reserves in the muscle tissue, you now have the ability to train harder at higher intensities. This means more reps, more sets, heavier loads, more explosive power and quicker recovery. Each of these stimulus are key requirements for continual muscle growth. Creatine is simply a mechanism that allows you to work harder and out do your previous workouts.

How do I take creatine?

To load or not to load, that is the question! You have three research-proven options to choose from. Each method will appeal depending on a variety of reasons:

· Method 1: Six day load at 20 grams a day plus a maintenance of 2-3 grams a day afterward.

· Method 2: 3-5 grams a day for the long term.

It was once thought, that a loading phase was required to maximize the effects of creatine but there is countless research that shows you don't have to go through all the hassle of loading. This will appeal to the individual who experiences gastrointestinal upset, diarrhea and other problems with higher dosages.

Personally, I have found the best time to take creatine is 15 minutes BEFORE a workout and AFTER a workout with a liquid protein and carbohydrate drink. As well as first thing in the morning on non-training days.

What kind of creatine should I buy?

With all the fancy bell and whistle creatine supplements out there, a lot of people of forgotten about simple, powdered creatine. All you need to know that the best creatine manufactured is sold to companies in the form of Creapure. So as long as you see the that the creatine bottle you have bought, as Creapure as their source of creatine, that's the good stuff.

There has much debate about creatine purity and it is not accepted that not all creatine is created equal.

Creatine ethyl ester is a new form of creatine. It is made up of a creatine, alcohol and acid meaning the absorption rate into the tissue is better. Manufacturers claim it does not cause bloating, cramping or stomach discomfort and gets into the muscle faster resulting in better results. Due to it's chemical structure, it might result in greater stress on the liver. Although it does seem to have potential, wait for more research and rely on the time-tested powdered creatine.

Should I take creatine with sugar?

Stimulating insulin release by consuming high amounts of sugar has been shown to enhance the transport and uptake of of creatine into the muscle tissue. However, insulin is also responsible for fat storage. Therefore my recommendation would be to only consume your creatine with simple carbohydrates if it is before or after your workout. On non-training days, creatine would be be better shuttled using insulin mimicking compounds like alpha lipoic acid and D-pintol which can help improve creatine transport and retention without the excess sugars.

Conclusion

Creatine, is by far the king of the jungle when it comes to muscle building supplements. I have only included the information I believe to be the most critical and useful. Your take home message is to use powdered creatine, year round before and after your training workout and in the morning on your non-training days. Make sure your creatine says Creapure and don't get caught up wasting any more time or sleep on the academic debate associated with creatine use. Just do it!

Smart Affiliate Marketing Advertising

Affiliate marketing is really about the promotion
of products with an online company. The affiliate
will sign up with the advertiser or marketing arm
of the company, then the affiliate will become
an active looker of clients.

Advertising is the means to making a great number
of consumers aware of certain products. Therefore,
advertising should be both attracting and appealing
to consumers. If the advertising isn't appealing
enough, it won't be effective. If the advertising
manages to pull the attention of consumers, then
it's considered to be powerful.

To make advertising powerful and effective, the
affiliate must use smart methods of advertising.
An example of smart advertising is the re-use of
one key concept of affiliate marketing - the
harnessing of human resources. What this means,
is that an affiliate may tap on the capacities of
others to bring more visitors to the website.

The economics involved of making an affiliate
marketing program beneficial can be simple, yet
unquestionable. Say for instance, when a visitor
ups a form to the website of the affiliate, the
affiliate may be earning .50 cent from the company
that he's promoting. In a single day, he may
refer ten visitors - which is equivalent to 5.00.

Keep in mind, the affiliate may increase his income
by utilizing others as well. The more people an
affiliate manages to recruit or get to make purchases
or fill out forms, the more money that affiliate
will make.

To have a significant increase in income in
affiliate marketing, an affiliate can actually
do three things. First of all, the affiliate must
search for a profitable site. Next, he'll need to
link with companies that are generous with their
leads. Last, the affiliate will need to locate
a progressive and rising company online then
recruit affiliates for the company.

When do they issue the commission checks? Every program is different. Some issue their checks once a month, every quarter, etc. Select the one that is suited to your payment time choice. Many affiliate programs are setting a minimum earned commission amount that an affiliate must meet or exceed in order for their checks to be issued.

What is the hit per sale ratio? This is the average number of hits to a banner or text link it takes to generate a sale based on all affiliate statistics. This factor is extremely important because this will tell you how much traffic you must generate before you can earn a commission from the sale.

How are referrals from an affiliate's site tracked and for how long do they remain in the system? You need to be confident on the program enough to track those people you refer from your site. This is the only way that you can credit for a sale. The period of time that those people stay in the system is also important. This is because some visitors do not buy initially but may want to return later to make the purchase. Know if you will still get credit for the sale if it is done some months from a certain day.

What are the kinds of affiliate stats available? Your choice of affiliate program should be capable of offering detailed stats. They should be available online anytime you decide to check them out. Constantly checking your individual stats is important to know how many impressions, hits and sales are already generated from your site. Impressions are the number of times the banner or text link was viewed by a visitor of your site. A hit is the one clicking on the banner or text links.

Does the affiliate program also pay for the hits and impressions besides the commissions on sales? It is important that impressions and hits are also paid, as this will add to the earnings you get from the sales commission. This is especially important if the program you are in offers low sales to be able to hit ratio.

Who is the online retailer? Find out whom you are doing business with to know if it is really a solid company. Know the products they are selling and the average amount they are achieving. The more you know about the retailer offering you the affiliate program, the easier it will be for you to know if that program is really for you and your site.

Is the affiliate a one tier or two tier program? A single tier program pays you only for the business you yourself have generated. A two tier program pays you for the business, plus it also pays you a commission on the on the sales generated by any affiliate you sponsor in your program. Some two-tier programs are even paying small fees on each new affiliate you sponsor. More like a recruitment fee.

Lastly, what is the amount of commission paid? 5% - 20% is the commission paid by most programs. .01% - .05% is the amount paid for each hit. If you find a program that also pays for impressions, the amount paid is not much at all. As you can see from the figures, you will now understand why the average sales amount and hit to sale ratio is important.

These are just some of the questions that needed answering first before you enter into an affiliate program. You should be familiar with the many important aspects that your chosen program should have before incorporating them into your website. Try to ask your affiliate program choices these questions. These can help you select the right program for you site from among the many available.

The Students Guide To Healthy Eating

You might not have known this, but how you diet during your exams can can be a big factor in determining how well you perform. Studies have shown that people with healthy diets achieve better grades than people who skip breakfast.

Of course there is no physical exercise required for a written exam, but you need plenty of iron, minerals and vitamins to give you good concentration. If you can't concentrate during an exam, your chances of performing well are slim.

Eating well will also make you feel motivated. You see, if you just eat a load of junk food you will probably feel fatigued and lazy. If you feel deflated like this during an exam, you're not going to have any level of motivation or energy to get through it.

If you want to do well in your exams, eat carefully. You only get one shot at your exams, so it's worth doing everything you can to ensure you are on the ball when in the exam rooms.

Good foods to eat to help aid your concentration are things like cereals, peas, spinach, baked beans, and non-vegetarians foods like white meat. Fish is also great to eat because it is rich in vitamin B, C and E, which are essential for having a strong memory and help to keep you relaxed.

Like many students you may drink coffee to keep you awake when studying. This is a bad idea. You probably don't know that excess caffeine can actually make you feel more lethargic. A better and much healthier alternative to is to drink milk or soup while studying. Don't drink any more than two cups of coffee a day.

It's also a good idea to eat lots of small but frequent meals during your exam period as it will keep your body constantly supplied with nutrients, maintaining your sharpness and energy levels. A diet called The Lunch Box Diet is great for students because all of your food is contained in one place and you can 'graze' in between sessions, keeping your energy and focus up when it's needed most. It has been used and loved by many students

Be sure to eat plenty of fruit whilst studying. Fruits help to maintain sugar levels ensuring you have more energy all day long.  Studying for long periods can be a real energy drainer, so keeping up your sugar levels is very important.

Also be sure to keep yourself hydrated. Soups and juices are another good source for water.

Another good tip is to take regular short walks around your house or flat in order to help your body digest food quickly and efficiently. It's best not to study straight after eating because it can make you feel tired and sluggish.

Summary of dieting to help succeed with your exams:

-        Eat lots of fish, green vegetables and white meat

-        Avoid drinking too much tea or coffee to stay awake

-        Eat small meals at regular intervals

-        Eat lots of fruit

-        Don't study straight after a meal
