UP-FIT ATHLETICS

Today in this blog, I am gonna discuss some laws based on bodybuilding. As a complete beginner, it is better to learn how the muscle works and grow rather than just going to the gym and lifting weights wrongly and ending up disappointed.                               THE FIRST LAW  1. YOU HAVE TO FORCE IT IN ORDER TO GROW THE MUSCLE  Trust me most of the people don't know how muscle grows when we lift a weight you are actually causing tiny tears in the muscle fibres known as micro-tear. So when you lift weights normally you are just causing only a few micro-tears which the body will eventually replace the body knows there isn't need of any additional muscle. But you're lifting forcibly in such a way that it causes a lot of micro-tears and the body fail to repair them so the body repairs them with an additional set of fires with the help of the proper nutrition you have taken in as fuel...

So here we are in the second part of the mistakes and myths in bodybuilding. With this blog, you will get a clear view of the mistakes and you should avoid and how to replace them. 1. Wrong exercise and wasting time   So you may don't know that most of the workout machine your gym has to offer is a waste of time because it doesn't help you like the free weight exercise like the one with dumbbells, barbells and lets pull machines give. Free weight training helps your body to move in a three dimensional way, no one had made a chest fay good using press machine but only by dumbbells and bench press. In another word, the best exercise that is beneficial to the body is known as compound exercises because they involve many parts of the body like squats, deadlifts, bench press etc.. Another type is known as isolated exercises Which only focus on one part of the body like biceps curls, leg extension and all. Studies have shown that a compound exercise is more ef...

Today in this blog, I would like to take a moment to discuss the biggest mistakes and myth based on bodybuilding, as I said in the previous section many of them would be a victim of the myths and stories made by the people who don't know anything about fitness.  1. More sets = more muscles   One of the greatest mistakes we see among the beginners is that they think that the more sets and reps we do the more we build. But who actually wants to spend 2-3 hours in the gym squatting until one bleed their nose or deadlifting until they puke  Training a lot will make you weak, 2 hours of intense lifting will make you lose your muscle and shrink because you're breaking down the muscle too much for your body. While we exercise our body produces hormones such as testosterone and growth hormones such as insulin and also as a part if physical stress the body produces cortisol which increases blood sugar level and fights inflammation, but at the same time will...

In this section of the basics, we are gonna be looking at some terms that are mostly being used while we talk about fitness.  1. Supplement Supplements are any substance that is taken in order to make something complete.    Dietary supplements are products that are taken by one person that provides him with the necessary nutrients that are not contained in large amounts in his diet eg. The amino acid, oils, digestive enzymes are some examples.  2. Vitamins Vitamins are naturally occurring compounds that re necessary for the body. But vitamins are not produced inside the body so it has to be obtained through our diet eg: - egg, fish, vegetables and fruits, etc.. Or can be taken in the form of vitamin tablets along with the diet. 3. Minerals  Minerals are the compounds that are found in nonliving materials. They are not produced inside the body, but they are necessary for the body. Eg: - salt, calcium ion, aluminium...

Many of the people around us are extremely confused about health and fitness, why is that so? Because people around are filled with illogical advice and opinions received from different magazines or from their friends. Like broccoli has more protein than chicken,  counting calories doesn't work, the body doesn't assimilate carbohydrates after 6 pm so that you can have them at night eating fatty food will gain you more fat and you just have to eat once in a day so that your body will feel better.

Energy   Energy is the mental or physical strength of some person that can do certain activities  the energy in the case of our body ...
