\par I remember the women of the fifties. I was
still a kid back then, but even before mini skirts and other stuff, wherever you looked
the women were knockouts. There was less automation then and they got great everyday workouts
just doing everyday things.\par \par
Now, you probably know by now that the best way to get rid of fat is aerobics, and the
top three, first swimming, then cycling, then running are the best and of the whole, the
safest is walking, because it's low impact, though swimming should be low impact as well.\par
\par The fastest is walking up and down steep hills
with small weights on the ankles and wrists. Remember not to do that for long distances
because that risks fallen arches.\par \par
But there is something else. Doing your aerobics using many many repetitions with light weight
in many different workouts using as many of the muscle groups as possible. This is best
done in a gym that has nautilus type equipment that only exercises one muscle group at a
time.\par \par
The secret is to build up the capillaries in your circulatory system, the smallest blood
vessels that feed the individual cell groups. This is called "endurance" when you get to
an optimum state of that form of aerobic training.\par \par
Another important thing is that this form of workout develops the ligaments, often neglected
part of weight training. It also helps you to get a robust lymphatic system, which if
you try to unwisely work out with too much weight or resistance, could suffer ruptures
causing swelling and even in some cases, permanent damage.\par
\par So remember, there's nothing wrong with light.
Light and many and as variegated as you can. The main target is the largest muscle groups
but not just the legs. I know, better legs than never, but this is the common mistake.\par
\par Ever see all the fatties in the gym hogging
the bikes or treadmills? Ha! Ha! You need to concentrate on as many muscle groups as
you can. But primarily the ones you use the most in your daily routine.\par
\par One of those groups is the deltoids. How many chubby shop clerks
have I seen who go off and use all their exercise time walking round the parking lot and stuff
like that. Then they get back to the job and don't use their legs as much as those arms.\par
\par Now, the more muscle mass you've got the more
fat you burn ON THE PROVISO that you coax your body to start developing those all important
fat-burning enzymes that the bod hates to do because it seems to the bod not to be a
good survival strategy.\par \par
That's where the treadmill and the jogging or huffy-puffy walking over several miles
at least three times a week come in. You've got to be kinda sweaty. That's your signal
that the 'zimes are on the way. Ol lang 'zimes. \par
\par Just watch getting sweaty in winter. That's
a survival problem that could get you in Dutch with the old pneumococus. One of the
first symptoms of that is ear problems as they often hit there first. Sugarless gum
is an antibiotic that fights that, just remember gum in your mouth at workouts can be life-threatening.\par
\par The important part of building muscle mass
is protein and it has to be complete protein. You'll have to find out about that till I
can write more for you later. Men, at least fifty five grams a day, but seventy-five won't
hurt. Women, forty five to sixty daily. Those protein powder shakes are a good source. Use
soy milk if you're lactose intolerant. \par \par
My recipe for Paul's Little Dinkie at the end of the day is a teaspoon of *** and
a teaspoon of sugar in your health drink of protein power such as soy or whey and soy
milk. Use a hand healed blender and be careful. Two glasses is good. You need at least five different types of protein sources
a week like wheat or penults or meat types or soy and so on. \par
\par Don't depend entirely on microwavaving. We
don't know yet if it might destroy protein food value or vitamins. Use brewer's yeast
to curb your appetite. The appetite is triggered by hairs in the stomach and the brewer's yeast
seems to assuage them.\par \par
But protein alone won't do it. You can't have the stuff without the wrapper and that's the
cell wall of each muscle made of OLIO ACIDS that comes from what those idiots tell you
not to eat: oils. The best way to get all your oleos is to mix corn, penult and safflower
oil and your body will do the rest with those raw materials.\par
\par So when you go about your daily routine, make
a study of the muscle groups you use the most and target them first. Just remember, you
need to work on the other groups as well.\par \par
The main thing to stress is the low weight. Once you are certain about things you can up the weights for limited reps, twenty or so.
And one great way is to set the pin at your max for a few reps, and then lower for a lot of reps. The only safe key for weights is slow and steady
progress.\par \par
Remember your bod is a lot more than muscle, and you're working out hundreds of different
things. Get rid of the champion mentality. The super man or woman is the one who gets
the whole body workout. That's going to get you a gorgeous figure in not much time safely.\par
\par Eating right does more for you than just giving
you good health, you are giving your appearance a workout by using your face muscles. Also
the vivid display of facial emotion is very helpful. So emotion plays a role, too. A healthy
face is a gorgeous one. Smile a lot -- it takes more muscles than frowning and
that gives your face a workout as well.\par \par
\par \par
There
you go. That's better. (I
hope you're smiling).\par }
