Israel Lagares of http://www.fatmanunleashed.com goes over how he feels about health and fitness magazines and the "ad reports" that they contain. Some muscles mags, if not all, are full of redundant ads that are meant to trick you into thinking they are articles, only to push a new product on you!

Re: So tell me why your Big And Sexy?
by rss@youtube.com (DivaMakeup)
10 May 2008 at 7:47pm
This is why I'm BIG AND SEXY! :) Stacy Raven - SSBBW model, Size Acceptance Advocate, and Body Liberation Teacher http://www.youtube.com/SuperSizedSexy Beauty comes in many shapes and sizes, not just size six or smaller. We must remember that the media, advertisers, and the diet industry are selling us dissatisfaction with our bodies in order to make a profit. The "obesity" industries, including commercial weight-loss programs, weight-loss drug purveyors and bariatric surgery centers, will likely top $315 billion this year, nearly 3 percent of the overall U.S. economy. These industries make a huge profit from training people to hate bigger bodies and to think that big automatically means unhealthy. Many studies have proven that big people who eat right and are active are just as healthy as those who are thinner, and much more healthy than thin people who don't eat right and exercise. While weight measurements sometimes reflect bad eating habits, a sedentary lifestyle, and poor health and fitness, they don't always. In fact, there are many large, "overweight" (but fit) men and women who eat a balanced diet, exercise regularly, and enjoy excellent health (as indicated by their optimal blood pressure, blood cholesterol, and blood sugar levels). And, there are many "healthy weight" men and women who don't. Assuming health based on size is inaccurate and prejudiced. Health is important. But health isn't conducive to size. Neither is beauty. Be active, eat healthy foods, love your body and yourself, and don't let the media brainwash you into thinking that you can tell someone's health by their size. Read more about the truth about weight and health in The Obesity Myth by Paul Campos and Big Fat Lies by Dr. Glenn A. Gaesser.

Chinese Health qigong -- Ba Duan Jin
by rss@youtube.com (chujiangmei)
9 May 2008 at 4:16am
Compiled by the Chinese Health Qigong Association As a traditional Chinese health and fitness Qigong exercise routine, Ba Duan Jin, or Eight-section Exercises, dates back to the Song Dynasty (960-1279). With easy movements and impressive effects on the health, it is a gem in China's health and fitness culture. It has been proved that practice of Ba Duan Jin improves the respiratory system, limb strength, and flexibility of the joints, and fortifies the nerves, as well as enhances the general balance. It improves the cardiovascular function and helps to cure such illnesses as coronary artery scleroses and osteoporosis. It strengthens one's immune system to a degree, and delays the ageing process, so as to increase the life span. It also improves one's mental health.

Pro-Form Wellness pedana vibrante sussultoria
by rss@youtube.com (fitnessweb)
9 May 2008 at 1:40am
Proform Wellness è una pedana vibrante prodotta da Icon Health and Fitness, nota azienda americana leader a livello mondiale nella produzione di attrezzatura da palestra professionale e per l'home fitness. Il principio base dell'allenamento a vibrazione della pedana vibrante Proform Wellness si fonda su pochi fattori fisiologici: ogni muscolo è dotato di una sua propria vibrazione, con la quale compie determinate funzioni di base. Attraverso la stimolazione vibrazionale viene migliorata la circolazione sanguigna e per mezzo di ciò si incrementa sia l'apporto di sostanze nutritive e di ossigeno che l'eliminazione di cataboliti (il cosiddetto effetto pompa). Attraverso degli esercizi mirati con ProForm Wellness questi effetti vengono stimolati e potenziati. Il risultato è un rinforzamento generale della muscolatura in un tempo più breve e un recupero più veloce del muscolo dopo un allenamento intenso. Un ulteriore importante effetto collaterale di questa forma di allenamento è un aumento della produzione di ormoni, come ad esempio l'ormone della crescita, il testosterone e le endorfine. I seguenti dati sono stati misurati dopo una seduta di allenamento di una persona: * Innalzamento del livello del Testosterone : + 7% * Aumento della Somatotropina ( ormone della crescita ) : + 460% * Riduzione del Cortisolo ( ormone dello stress ): - 32%. I vantaggi di ProForm Wellness: * Minimo dispendio di tempo * Diminuzione della durata dell'allenamento * Assenza di dolore Sono importanti in questa forma di allenamento i seguenti parametri: * 1. ampiezza del movimento di vibrazione ( misurata in millimetri ) * 2. la frequenza della vibrazione ( misurata in Hz ) che insieme portano ad una accelerazione ( forza G ). Un apparecchio di vibrazione deve produrre con precisione la corretta formula per ottenere un risultato positivo. Pro Form Wellness tiene conto di questa esigenza: esso offre con precisione le corrette ed efficaci frequenze di training e le frequenze per un ricupero ottimale. Movimento sussultorio verticale con frequenza da 20 a 50 Hz con step di 5 Hz (20 - 25 - 30 - 35 - 40 - 45 - 50 Hz) regolabile dalla consolle e potenza di 250 Watt. 4 programmi di lavoro più 1 manuale. La pedana Pro-Form Wellness è dotata anche un timer regolabile da 30 a 120 secondi.

Customer Review: I love this book! I've order copies for each of my siblings and two more for me to give to my workout pals! Love it!!
by Arthur Agatston, Joseph Signorile
Amazon Price: $15.57
Customer Review: If you have never read The South Beach Diet, buy this book instead: It's much more helpful due to the exercise section and latest research on healthy eating and physical activity. If you already have a copy of The South Beach Diet, you need to buy this one as well so you can do the exercises.
I'm a big fan of The South Beach Diet. It helped me lose a lot of weight when nothing else worked. I felt comfortable losing the weight and looked great when I was done, rather than like a survivor of starvation. Whenever I gained a bit of weight since then, returning to Phase 1 quickly took it off.
But there was a problem: I clearly wasn't exercising enough. In the past, I've done a lot of walking and weight lifting . . . but I didn't get much benefit in terms of medical measures like reduced triglycerides. In fact, eating oatmeal and taking omega-3 supplements does more for my cholesterol level than exercise. I know that I need something different.
My eyes opened wide when I got to the section of this book that talked about how moderate amounts of walking (20 minutes every other day) with short intervals of fast movement spaced between moderate walking would do me more good for burning fat than doing all that walking that I used to do at one speed. Now, that sounded great!
Between walking days, you do some moderate body toning. Here is where I had some concerns about the book: The photographs show a lot of stress being put on the back. That's not a good idea for me: I have back problems. I'm not quite sure what to do, but I've ordered the DVD to see how these exercises are to be done and hope there will be detailed instructions there for people with bad backs.
In this book, Dr. Agatston does a good job of describing the various physical ills in joints and feet that baby boomers develop from the wrong kinds of activity and exercise. He even helped me understand how I create vast shoulder pain when I shovel snow the wrong way . . . and now I know what not to do.
If you are under 30, you can probably use this book just as is. If you are older, be careful with the body toning!
The remainder of the book is the same wonderful material on eating good carbs and good fats while avoiding bad carbs and bad fats . . . plus the latest validations of scientific research supporting the assumptions underlying the diet. There are lots of phase 1 and phase 2 recipes, and you can buy separate c...

Customer Review: The best part of this book is the beginning, where the author explains the history of the western diet. Then he discredits modern nutrition scientists, or nutritionists as he calls them, putting them in the ranks of alchemists. Also he seems to accuse them of being colluded with the capitalist pigs running the modern food industry.
Then, he tries to speak with authority about isoflavones, omega-3, and other hard core nutrition knowledge, as if trying to be a nutritionist himself!
The end was the worst, almost unbearable, seriously suggesting that cultivating your lawn or whatever available land you have is a good way to solve the food problem. He becomes very critical, putting down people who "ONLY" take a couple weeks of vacation per year, unlike the French who know more about life than Americans. This was insensitive because, as self-employed that I am, I have not taken vacation in years...aboriginal people, whom he praises, did not take vacations either. In fact, vacations are a modern invention just like the western diet.
I started reading this book with enthusiasm. I liked how he took a step back to look a the whole picture from a broader perspective and shedding some light on how we have ended up where we are. I like his suggestions of avoiding processed food. But the book became gradually disappointing.
That a journalist is now rising as a nutritional authority with best sellers clearly underscores the sad state of confusion and misinformation about food. I was going to recommend it to my wife and some friends, but this book will probably best end up in the recycle bin.
by Michael Pollan
Amazon Price: $9.60
Customer Review: Omnivore's Dilemma is a wonderfully written book which covers all aspects of food in today's world. Michael Pollan starts by taking a close look at industrial agriculture from the view point of Corn. A plant that is tailor made to our mass production, fossil fuel dependent agricultural ways. Corn farmers benefit from government subsidies that guarantee the farmer a minimum price per bushel. This has led to an overproduction of corn which has further led to corn based products inundating nearly every food shelf in today's supermarkets. Our farm animals are also raised on diets consisting largely of corn. Yet industrial corn farming, as the author explains, causes much harm. The rich fertile soil in the Midwest is eroding at a rapid pace. The fast growth of corn requires copious quantities of fertilizer in addition to insecticide. Chemical fertilizers seep into the streams and rivers and have caused an immense zone deplete of Oxygen in the Gulf of Mexico. Industrial farming methods have also increased our dependence on fossil fuels. By some estimates, one calorie of corn requires on average ten calories of fossil fuel before it reaches the consumer.
Michael Pollan discusses how we raise meat in this country. Take the millions of steaks served all across the country every day. The cattle slaughtered were mostly raised on a CAFO(Concentrated Animal Feeding Operation) on a diet that evolution ill suited them to eat. A diet consisting largely of Corn. The Angus cattle spend most of their lives on lots devoid of grass or vegetation and full of eye irritating dust. They spend their lives ankle deep in their excrement and require antibiotics and anti parasitic drugs to survive until slaughter. They suffer from acidosis of the rumen, an organ evolved to break down the cellulose in grass. The E-Coli that sicken so many Americans every year are of a strain that adapted to survive in the now more acid rumen and which now can survive our acidic stomachs to make us sick.
Michael Pollan contrasts this form of agriculture to a farm in Virginia that raises chickens(broilers and eggs), and Cattle on only grass. The cattle feed on luscious grass kept that way by rotating the cattle from one area of the pasture to another to avoid overgrazing. The chickens feed on the grass and insects attracted to the farm life. The grass benefits by the natural fertilizer these animals provide. The farm is as productive per acre as an Industrial farm...

Customer Review: I am really impressed with this book. I've been looking to start making positive changes in my lifestyle to ensure that as I age I can delay health problems that come with it as long as possible. I never like hearing what I should be doing and instead want to understand and believe in something before making significant changes in my life.
What this book managed to achieve is to lay out relatively dry and droll information in a way to make it interesting, minimally corny, and easy to understand and relate to. That is no easy.
You want to know how much I like this book? It is a pretty large, relatively heavy volume, and I tossed my mystery novels out of the bag and took it with me on a long flight business trip. It's interesting enough that I wanted to read it first. I am about 2/3 through now, but I still have 2 days of trip and a long flight left.
Now, if I could just figure out how to convince my husband to read it. I guess I'll have to continue "informing" him of what I've learned.

Amazon Price: $8.97
Customer Review: This book was highly recommended to me by women who used it during their first pregnancy. I bought it for my daughter in law and she LOVED it; it provides exremely valuable information in an easy to understand format.
by Robert Sears
Amazon Price: $8.39
Customer Review: I have several families in my pediatric practice who have altered the schedule of their children's vaccinations. A couple of them read this book and asked me to review it. Overall, I think it's well written, and there is plenty of information I learned from Dr. Sears. I do think that the most salient detail of the book is regarding aluminum, and it unintentionally casts a light of skepticism on aluminum. Perhaps ten years down the road, we will determine that subcutaneous or intramuscular exposure to aluminum is harmless. But in the process of finding out, many families will likely suffer from preventable illness. I don't think Dr. Sears wanted this to be an outcome of the book, but I have witnessed some families making risky decisions based on their readings. I'm happy to report that my practice is on track to take the very measures he recommends, because it is important to reduce ANY exposures we artificially create for our children. It's hard for any vaccine book marketed to families to keep from creating a culture of fear and distrust of doctors. However, as a pediatrician, I've found that the most reliable source of information to be the American Academy of Pediatrics. I am, of course, professionally biased. But isn't that the point. I would recommend the book to interested physicians, but I would recommend parents to read literature endorsed by the AAP first.
by Jillian Michaels
Amazon Price: $10.17
Customer Review: I have only a few days left on this 30 day program and without following the food list exactly I have lost over 12 pounds. Stick to the exercise program (which will challenge you), use the daily food list as a "guide" (can be expensive to buy and cook everything listed, however there are some great recipes) and this book will do wonders for you. I cannot recommend this book highly enough. Compare the information in this to all the other books that are out there and this will come out on top everytime. Still, just buying the book isn't enough, you still have to get out there and do the work. And yes, alot of the exercises are using gym equipment, however these can be modified quite easily to be done at home. No treadmill for sprints? Jump rope for 3 minutes instead. People saying "I don't have access to a gym so it's no good" are just making excuses. IF you really want results, this book will get you there.

Customer Review: And you will --- with laughter! Such a no-no subject treated by a professional with a superb sense of humor!!!!!
by Kim Barnouin, Rory Freedman
Amazon Price: $11.16
Customer Review: Seems like the authors read several book by professional nutritionists--footnoted them--and passed them off as their own in what amounts to a third rate high school term paper. They do not take into consideration genetics, BMI or family history...it's just one long condesending rant by a couple of skinny models who probably decided to get healthy only after they quit snorting heroin to stay thin and posing for gap ads.
