Most people know that protein is essential for keeping and building muscle, you may be wondering: is there a most optimal amount of protein for maximum muscle growth? It has been widely accepted that alongside resistance training, dietary protein is absolutely essential for muscle growth. Only if your protein intake is sufficient to meet the demand of your muscles as they are broken down through exercise (also known as the catabolic state), can new muscle be formed? Furthermore, even if you’re not exercising, a minimum amount of protein must be consumed if you want to keep the muscle you do have. In short, no protein = no gainsno matter how many hours you’re putting in at the gym. https://www.infofit.ca/optimal-protein-intake-muscle-growth/

Do you need some awesome tips to help you get through challenging workouts? In this article get ten tips that help when your workouts are getting you down! Visualization See Your Success as You Train Talk to top athletes, and they will tell you that when they are having problems with pushing through a workout because of fatigue or lack of motivation, they visualize themselves winning their race. Draw on past or future events to help stay motivated as you train.... Get a Workout Buddy There are several reasons that a buddy can help you stay motivated on days that you don’t feel like working out. Most people find working out to be a much more pleasurable experience when they have someone to distract them. Individuals who are new to exercise also find it less intimidating to walk into a gym when they have a friend with them. It is also more motivating to get to the gym when you have someone that is holding you accountable by being there waiting for you. If you don’t have someone who can go to the gym with you, have a workout buddy online that you can report to through social media, email or an app (that keeps track of activity). Make it fun by adding some fun competition with your buddy. Who runs faster? Who lifts heavier? Who ran longer or took more steps. Whatever motivates you to move! Make Yourself a Priority Similar to going to the spa, getting your nails done or getting a massage; working out is time for you. Realize that this is time to improve your health and wellbeing. Many fitness enthusiasts use this as a time of self-reflection or as active meditation. Remember that time in the gym is all about you and it gives you time to de-stress, time to reflect on your day and change your mood before you go home to your family.

Neuroscience research illustrates how the brain has massive control over how much we weigh, and why, for most of us, dieting for weight loss is unsuccessful. Our hypothalamus adjusts our metabolism and hormonal profile in response to weight loss and weight gainso that no matter how hard we might try, our body will always want to spring back to its ideal weight. Experts argue that this predetermined bodily set point is why dieting not only doesn’t work but will actually c...ause harm than good by inflicting damage to our metabolism and hormonal function. This is called metabolic adaptation and fitness professionals see it often with their clients. If a client has been eating significantly fewer calories than his or her body requires for a prolonged period of time (months and years) and if there is still very little fat loss, it is possible that he or she has become metabolically adapted; the metabolism has slowed down to adjust to the body’s new environment and, unfortunately, it is a condition that can be difficult to reverse.
