astrology reading

 I'd always thought it would be fun to sit for an astrology reading, but I'd never actually worked up the courage to do so before. I guess I was a bit afraid of what I might find out. I mean, what if it was bad news? What if I were destined to be a failure, would never meet my perfect match, and would live just a short, uneventful life? Those aren't exactly the kinds of things I wanted confirmed by a psychic! So I simply avoided them until recently, when I finally worked up enough courage to see what was written in the stars about me. Since I'd never had an astrology reading before, I didn't really know where to go to find a good psychic. Of course, I'd seen commercials and magazine ads for various 900-numbers that I could call in order to get an astrology reading, but I naturally couldn't find any of those numbers now that I was ready to use one. So I figured I'd go online instead and see what kind of information I could get from the Internet. First of ...

Cardio Exercise

 Cardio Exercise


Everyone has wondered at some point in time which

cardio exercise is better.  To put it in simple

terms, both low and high intensity exercises will

help you to burn off body fat.  The question here

is which is the most effective to burn off more

body fat.  


When scientists first discovered that during 

intensive exercises, your body burns glycogen, which

is a form of stored carbohydrates that are stored

in your liver and muscles for energy.  During low

intensity exercises, your body will burn a lot of

fat.


If your wondering whether or not it works, the

answer is no because there are so many obese people

still around.  Even though they are working out

with low intensity routines, it still makes you 

wonder how it can be.


The scientists were right when they said the human

body burns more body fat during low intensity

exercises like walking or swimming.  During a 

high intensity exercise such as running, the body

will burn a lot more calories.  Even if some of

the calories burnt are from glycogen, there are

still many fat calories burned as well.


To put the icing on the cake, when your store of

glycogen gets low, the carbohydrates from your

food you eat will later get converted into 

glycogen to fill up the store and won't be

converted to body fat when they are left unused

for energy.


High intensity cardio exercise will juice up your

metabolism even after you have completed your

workout.  What this means, is that your body will

continue to burn body fat hours after you have

left the gym.  This effect is nearly non existent

in low intensity cardio or aerobic workout.  


Accumulatively, your body will burn up more and

more calories during and after you have finished a

high intensity cardio exercise that it will with

low intensity.


You can inject high intensity exercises into your

cardio workout by introducing some interval

training. You can walk for 5 minutes or so, then

break into some jogging for another 5 minutes or

so.  Then, walk briskly again until you have

caught your breath and then sprint for a minute

before you walk again.  From this point, simply

alternate your running and walking for the 

next 15 minutes until you are finished.


One of the best things about cardio is the more

you do it, the more energy you'll have.  Cardio

will help you to burn calories, although its more

useful for keeping your energy levels high.


If you've never tried cardio before, you should

give it a shot.  If you like to exercise, you'll

find cardio the best way to boost your energy and

keep in top shape.  If you are just starting out,

you'll want to go slow and keep your cardio 

exercise in track - as it is very easy to over

exert yourself.

animal books

 Kids have all different tastes, but if there is anything that all kids like, it is animals. When you buy books about animals for your children, you are guaranteed to receive a smile in return. Although kids go through different phases in their reading, animal books are always one of the first things that they pick up on, and often become long-lasting favorites. When I was a kid, I loved any kind of animal story or animal book. Animal coloring books were my favorite, but I also loved fables, myths, and longer stories as well. Black Beauty was the very first novel that I fell in love with, and I have read it many times since then. My mom used to take us out to the bookstore. We would each get to pick out a book while we were there. My brother would take something about planes, or cars, or sports, but I would always go for the animal books right away. He made fun of me sometimes for it, calling me a girl for how much I liked animal books, but I didn't care. I knew that he was wrong a...

aerobic systems

 Getting back into shape after being overweight for a long period of time or after giving birth to a child can be quite demanding and tedious. There is generally a long way to go at this point. If your main concern is excess fat, then your primary focus should be cardio and aerobic systems. It's often easier to wait one the weights. I say this only because once you begin weight training; you will start putting on pounds. Granted these are muscle pounds, which are great. But, tackling cardio exclusively in the beginning can be the most efficient route. Shed the extra fat and then proceed to the strength building. It's a process.  About a year ago, my wife finally decided to crack down and discard her extra body fat. She has given birth to three children; therefore it's only natural for her to have gained a few extra pounds. While she used to weigh around 110, she now weighs in at 128. At 5'4" this isn't that bad if you ask me. Her basic goal is to get back to 11...

About Yoga

 About Yoga Yoga is a system of philosophy that originated in India 5000 years ago that is focused on the attainment of enlightenment and the liberation of one’s self from those burdens that can have negative effects on the mind, body, and spirit. The practice of yoga was brought to the Western countries, like the United States, after it gained popularity because of the many touted benefits. However, most teachers of the philosophy place the most emphasis on the physical poses and less on the meditation aspect. Yoga and Pilates have both become very popular additions to the fitness routines of many people around the world, and for good reason, which is why people are learning about yoga and its many benefits for the mind and body.
