Monday, July 27th, 2009WARM UP: The purpose of the warm up is to increase body temperature, increase synovial (lubricating) fluids in the joints, and to decrease the chance of injury. In addition, muscle and tendon elasticity are also improved during the 
warm up. The warm up should include easy to moderately intense cardiovascular activity for 3 to 15 minutes (eg: walking, cycling or stepping) and a flexibility exercise for each muscle group to be trained that day. During the warm up, heart rate should gradually rise to approximately 50 to 60 % of maximum heart rate.
At the onset of light cardiovascular exercise during the warm up, the metabolic rate increases, so body temperature rises, which causes you to sweat. In addition, blood flow to the exercising muscles increases and the muscles extract more oxygen from the blood. This results in more efficient energy production in the muscle.l
As the warm up continues and heart rate is gradually increased, the body begins the process of fat cell mobilization. Depending on your body's efficiency at burning calories, it can take 12 to 15 minutes or more of continuous, moderately intense cardiovascular exercise before your body begins to burn fat.

Research suggests that an evening out with friends can increase our food consumption by almost half. Be especially diligent when you're socializing. Order half portions, you'll be amazed at how little food you need to feel satisfied. 
Wave away the bread basket and butter. Order extra vegetables and a salad to start the meal and avoid rich dressings, bacon bits, extra cheese and croutons. Avoid creamy soups and sauces. Drink water or seltzer to satisfy your thirst or have milk, which is an easy way to meet your daily food group requirements. Substitute milk for cream in your coffee.
