...Topic: Bodybuilding What does ‘bodybuilding’ mean and why does it become an obsession? Bodybuilding is defined as “the process of developing the musculature of the body through specific types of diet and physical exercise, such as weightlifting, especially for competitive exhibition”. Bodybuilders are people who have dedicated themselves to transforming their bodies into a more muscular and well defined shape. This is done through endless hours at the gym every week, and well thought out, healthy diets that maximize their muscle gains. For someone to be a true bodybuilder, they have to commit themselves to sticking with their workouts and making sure that they are taking all the appropriate steps needed to ensure that their bodies have the ability to optimize its muscle building capabilities. This is done through ensuring that the individual is receiving the proper amount of sleep, eating healthy and not cheating on their diets, not consuming any drugs or alcohol, and by always maintaining a high level of commitment to everything they do. Every single day bodybuilders have a prepared schedule of what foods to eat, what body part they will be working out, and they have to make sure to keep up with this regime every single day to ensure that their body has the proper rest and recovery, and that all body parts are being worked out equally. This shows how intense and demanding it is to be a bodybuilder because they do not take a day off from training, and they have to make sure...

I allowed myself to follow a lifestyle by eating a healthy balance diet and exercising four-to five times a week. However, shortly after I discovered that I was expecting, everything came down the tunnel. I had a difficult time with my pregnancy and it detained my ability to exercise. Though, eating right was still viable, I simply let that go along with mobility. The outcome of not eating right and bed rest enormously added seventy pounds to my small frame body. Aside from the excess weight gain, my biggest day-to-day problem is motivating myself to exercise and work out daily. Presently the baby is out, my eating habit is out of control and my motivation is lacking at its best when it comes down to exercising. Even with a handful schedule, living healthy should be a priority. I believe that this is the time finally change, reduce the body fat and live a healthier lifestyle.

...The Adkins Diet vs. the South Beach Diet Tonya Richardson COM 155 May 5, 2012 Michele Armentrout The Adkins Diet vs. the South Beach Diet The Adkins diet is famous for claims of weight loss, but the South Beach diet is said to be a more heart healthy choice for dieters. Most diets are hard to follow, and have so many restrictions on food that people often get fed up and revert to their old eating habits, instead of continuing with a new diet plan. A diet that restricts certain foods may be setting a dieter up for failure, when they give into temptation, and indulge in their favorite foods not included in their diet. The Adkins and South Beach diet offer a variety of foods that include healthy and tasty choices, even for the pickiest eaters. Both diets are similar, and start out with an induction phase that restricts the foods you eat, and lasts about two weeks. The Adkins diet relies solely on counting the total number of carbohydrates you eat in a day, and the South Beach diet relies on the size and portion of carbohydrates eaten each day. Both diets result in about the same number of carbohydrates per day, but are calculated using different methods. So, let`s explore the reason we want to lose weight in the first place. First, we all want to improve our current health and prolong our lives. Unfortunately, because we tend to eat unhealthy foods, we experience weight gain and are acceptable to health related problems, such as high cholesterol. Changing your eating...

The research articles have showed that the country has tightened up their policies, especially since 9/11. For example, Zakheim said “the White House--once known as the "people's house"--faces, no longer open to traffic. ID cards required everywhere. Airline passengers waiting patiently in line to take off their shoes, belts, jewelry--and to have their bags searched and perhaps their bodies as well”(2).

Our bodies are our engines, and we must put the correct fuel in them to keep them going to work at their full potential. The three well-known, tested workout meal plans that I have researched are: Arnold Schwarzenegger, P90X, and Johnny Ahl’s plan.

...mental resting period in which a person is unaware of their environment. In a normal sleep our body is changing by decreasing body temperature, blood pressure and other body functions. Sleep is very important to us and everyone for that matter because we all need to sleep and rest our bodies. It’s so important because it’s a vital biological function without sleep we know that our bodies are unable to function the way we want them to. We lose lack of day-time alertness, drowsiness and more susceptible to health problems such as stroke, diabetes, obesity and even depression. In the article ("Good night’s sleep") they discuss about College students sleeping patterns changing for example, not getting enough sleep. I felt that the article didn’t have information about sleeping patterns when there has been research about sleeping patterns. In 2002 Canadian Community health survey found that 18% of people sleep 5 hours or less a day. Sleep is put into two parts one being called non-REM and REM (Rapid Eye Movement). Non-REM consists of four stages of sleep, each deeper than the last. REM is when you are at the most active sleeping you are dreaming and your eyes are moving rapidly. Our sleep patterns consist of stages 1-4. Stage one last about 5 minutes, easily awaken. Stage 2 first stage of sleep about first 25 minutes.
