You have a broad power chest. You have a massive back that commands power. You have such huge arms that would all girls would fall for.

As you take take a stroll on the beach, everybody would be staring at you. Are they looking at your massive upper body? No. The real reason is the chicken legs you have. Dude, you are not training your legs at all! People are going to laugh at you if you have such a huge massive upper body, but legs that lack extreme development.

So now, admit it, who doesn’t train their legs here? I would say about 60% of the trainers I see do not train their legs, thus greatly reducing the potential their bodies could grow. Sadly, this is the mistake that most trainers make.

So, what are the benefits of working your legs?

Firstly, the most obvious reason would be that you want to have a well rounded physique. You want to look balanced. I’m sure you don’t want to have those chicken legs, right?

Secondly, working your legs causes your body to produce more growth hormone. Now, why is that so? Your leg consist of some of the biggest muscle in the body. In order to recover, your body will produce more growth hormone and this will also help other parts to grow as well.

Lastly, working your legs will use up alot of calories due to it’s size and the time taken to recover. Hence, your metabolism rate will be raised for a much longer period of time.

After reading the article, don’t you think it is time to spare a thought for your legs? Time to pay the squat rack a visit!

Weight loss, the phrase that shows over millions of results when searched in Google. In this current society, people want to look good. And looking good normally means losing weight, thanks to all the TV ads, model shows and stuff.

With so many scams surfacing, what is real and what is false? For some people, it is definitely hard to differentiate from right and wrong. Let me share 6 things that you wouldn’t want to hear while getting fit and achieving weight loss!

1) You need to exercise to achieve weight loss
Yes, I meant exerciseee! You mean I can’t loss weight just by dieting? In fact you can but if you want to get fit and lose weight at the same time, exercising is the way to go. You want stronger muscles and heart don’t you? You don’t get muscles if you eat vegetables all day long. You need to exercise!

2) You won’t look like Brad Pitt or Jessica Alba if you lose weight.
Many people lose weight because they want to achieve the body of a actress/model/singer. Lets face it, this is impossible! Your body belongs to you only. You won’t look exactly like your idol. You can get a great body but you must understand that there are some things that can’t be changed. For eg, your height. Exercising makes you look fit which in turn, brings out your self-confidence. Isn’t that enough?

3) You can’t get fit in a day.
Fitness should be your long term goal. You should not be aiming to get a better body just because you want to attend a beach party. Fitness should be part of your life. Remember that you can’t get fit in a day. You need a lot of work and planning!

4) You need to eat smart.
No fast foods, junk foods etc. Eat smart! Don’t forget the protein, carbs and fat! They are essential to building your muscles and letting you grow. Besides that, you need minerals and vitamins too. Vegetables and fruits should do the trick! Don’t eat too much and also, don’t eat too little. Plan a proper meal.

5) There are no gimmicks or quick fixes.
Forget the pills, lame machines, stupid diet plans. Why waste money and time on them? Learn the basics of building muscles and losing fats. Don’t let the evil market earn your money.

6) It is a long term commitment!
Yes, you heard me, fitness is a long term commitment! This is the most important and yet the most hated reason people don’t want to hear. You have to be consistantly exercising and having a healthy diet. You don’t just stop once you have achieve the body you wanted. You should continue to maintain it and reap all the benefits exercising can give you. Live long and healthy!
