Aerobic Exercise and the FITT Principle

Cardiorespiratory fitness best describes the health and function of the heart, lungs and circulatory system.

Other terms used and applied to the exercise environment are cardiovascular fitness, aerobic endurance and aerobic capacity. These terms are synonymous.

Abs: How Often Should You Work Your Abs?

How important is it to train the abs frequently if your goal is visible abs ?


There is no shortage of opinions on this topic. People can succeed (and fail) with all sorts of abdominal training programs. Besides, great abs have been found on many people that train them religiously each day, but better abs have been found on athletes that do no formal abdominal training at all!


The most important factor in developing eye-catching abdominal muscles (the 6-pack ) is decreasing the body fat in that area, plain and simple. As for training techniques, almost everyone should train this area as you would any muscle group. Why spend 20 minutes per day doing endless crunches when

Monitor Your Exercise Intensity - The Talk Test

Cardio is something alot of us hate to do. Admit it. We all dread it… even I hate doing it, but at the same time, at the corner of our mind, we do realise that it is important and a must if you want to improve your fitness levels. Some of us do it to shed some pounds, and some do it to keep the fat off and the abs fully visible.

Exercise Adherence (14 Secrets to Staying on Track)

As an Excercise Scientist I get a bunch of emails on this topic so I thought I’d save myself some letter-writing time and discuss publicly how we can best maintain our focus and commitment to our exercise program, as it seems to be a challenge for many of us.
We all talk about regular, consistent exercise (I’m not talking about incidental activity, I’m talking about actual structured, regular workouts).
We all intend to do it, and while some of us do, most of us don’t.


Research and simple observation tells us that the vast majority of us spend a great deal of our adult lives starting and stopping exercise or activity programs. Very few people start and maintain structured exercise programs

Weight Gain - Going To The Gym And Still Putting On Weight?

Losing weight for many people just seems to be something that happens for others but never for you. You have tried all the diets, have a garage or spare room full of fitness equipment and yet you are seeing little reduction in your weight. In desperation you decide to join a gym, get a fitness program monitored by a fitness trainer and let others push you towards your ideal body shape. That is the theory!


The reality is that most people do not maintain their commitment to a gym program long enough to see the positive results that can and usually do manifest themselves after prolonged, disciplined and controlled exercise.Why is this?
