Why Some Men Die Early

July 16th, 2011

I completed workout number 11 at Tony Cruz XTC gym in Tyler over by The Diner. I weighed myself right after and I have now gone from weighing 195 lbs down to 175 lbs.

This is really impressive considering I only work out every other week day for 45 minutes at their kickboxing class during my lunch break.

The truth is that about 10 lbs of that weight is likely water weight and so over the next few months comes the really hard part and that is losing the fat.

I will be continuing my kick boxing workout routine in the XTC kick boxing group workout class on my lunch break and adding a Yoga class to the mix.

As a man Yoga was something I never quite understood why I would ever want to do it as I always imagined it being nothing more than a lot of stretching with no results.

What I have found out is that some of the top weight loss results from some of the men that workout at XTC Fitness have come from adding in a Yoga class in their weekly routine.

I never thought I would be doing Yoga some day but I will be adding it in as a part of my routine at least once a week and the great news is it is free with my XTC membership as are all the group exercise classes.

If you have been thinking about a Tyler gym membership I recommend going by and checking out XTC’s group exercise classes. This is the best way to move your greatest asset into action, that being your will power.

Having an exercise trainer and those around you motivated to do the same thing is powerful and a shortcut to getting the type of fitness results you need.

Although some men die early as shown in the above pictures you also want to avoid one of the most common causes of early death among men, heart disease!

Here are the leading causes of death in the United States and some average numbers of deaths over the course of one year:

Heart disease: 600,000
Cancer: 560,000
Stroke (cerebrovascular diseases): 140,000
Chronic lower respiratory diseases: 130,000
Accidents (unintentional injuries): 120,000
Alzheimer’s disease: 70,000
Diabetes: 70,000
Influenza and Pneumonia: 50,000
Nephritis, nephrotic syndrome, and nephrosis: 50,000
Septicemia: 35,000

Don’t get me wrong here; we will all die someday and I am not trying to freak you out. My attitude is bring it on God I am ready when you think it is my time.

There is no reason to be scared of death if you know where you will be going and I personally do not strive to find the fountain of youth or magic pill of happiness.

Here is a little tip to help you avoid constant disappointment when it comes to weight loss, there are no quick fixes.

There is good news however, exercise has many daily positive benefits related to just living a good, healthy happy life where you feel good all day long.

Exercise helps you begin the practice of prioritizing things and your health and energy level should be close to the top.

You can’t really live efficiently if you always fill stagnant and glum from sitting in a chair all day.

Diet for Weight Loss in Tyler, Texas

August 17th, 2010

Diet is important if you want to lose weight. You cannot realistically expect to eat fast food every day for lunch and notice anything but an increase in your size. The food choices you make have an impact on not only your size, but also your overall health. Learning how to adopt a healthy diet, however, can be difficult with all of the crash and fad diets lurking around Tyler, Texas.

Diet does not refer to a temporary change in eating habits for the purpose of weight loss, but rather to a lifestyle habit. The nutrition plan you adopt should be one that provides adequate nutrients to the body and is sustainable even after your weight loss goals have been met. Speak to your Tyler, Texas doctor or dietary specialist for expert help on finding the right balance of fats, carbs, proteins, and calories.

Plenty of information is also available on the internet, but you must be careful of sites promising unrealistic results. Doctors recommend a rate of weight loss of no more than 2 pounds a week for health. It is easy to lose water weight for a week or two, making a diet initially seem like it is working, but once the water weight is off the body enters starvation mode and holds on to fat even more.

Of course, a healthy diet will aid in weight loss, but to achieve tone you must also exercise. Start out by simply walking every day and build up from there.

Look into a group exercise class as a fast effective way of losing weight: Visit the Tony Cruz XTC Fitness & Sports location: Map XTC Website Weight loss Blog

Tyler, Texas Weight Management: Dangerous Diuretics May Dehydrate

July 28th, 2010

Diuretics can offer great relief for the times you truly need them. Feeling bloated can be quite uncomfortable and if this is the reason you are using diuretics then you should be fine. Abusing diuretics for the purposes of weight loss, however, is a really bad idea. Sure, it may work for a day or two, but if you continue using them thinking you’ll keep losing weight you will end up dehydrated and sick.

Diuretics in Tyler, Texas, often called water pills, work by increasing the production and elimination of urine. They are very effective at getting rid of excess water that the body may be retaining. Most people will see a difference on the scales when using diuretics. However, keep in mind that the pounds you see here is nothing more than water weight, not fat. If they are used beyond one or two days, the body will begin to retain more water in an attempt to protect itself against dehydration.

Once the body enters this stage, a vicious cycle begins. You stop taking the water pills and begin to feel bloated because the body is retaining water. So you take some more pills to feel better and the body tries even harder to hold on to this precious element. Eventually dehydration will set in, which could be life threatening.

A much better way to shed water weight is to sweat it out. You will also receive the benefits that come from exercise for meaningful weight loss.
