Exercise is one of the keys to a happy, healthy, successful long life. When you exercise you train your body and mind to become stronger, powerful and fit to take on any challenges your face in the gym or your life. Exercise can be fun form or activity like playing a sports, or going for a walk or run with friends, taking your dog to the park to play, going for a hike, or taking a nice relaxing bicycle ride. For the more serious athletes exercise can be very strict and disciplined with little fun but greater physical and mental training, the bottom line is that you need regular exercise and activity in your life to have a better quality of life.
When you get regular exercise you will strengthen your muscles, bones, joints, heart, lunges, mind, and central nervous system to name a few. Exercise increases blood flow through your body, which will help you grab more nutrients and oxygen into your brain to get your mind and body to peak performance levels. You will feel lighter on your feet and have more energy throughout the day. Your sexual desire will increase as your hormones are ramped up during and after exercise, which is an important part of recovery and building a healthy body and mind.
As you push yourself through a tough exercise and you complete an exercise routine with total confidence and desire, you begin to see and feel your body and mind sharpen and take shape, life will become less stressful and you will feel like you are on top of the world and nothing can stop you from achieving your goals. You will develop more confidence in yourself from exercise that will flow into other areas of your life.
You will feel a sense of power from regular exercise, like you are a newer you with positive belief in yourself to totally succeed and surpass your previous accomplishments in and out of the exercise gym. You will feel more attractive from the way you think and look which is great. People will feel more attracted to you when they see you take control of your body and mind to strive to achieve health and well being, and the fact that you are looking pretty good too.
Now you know the importance of exercise and the great benefits it has for not just your body but your mind as well. Exercise will challenge you to keep progressing and help you get through hard times in your life which will relieve stress and increase you confidence to strive to achieve new levels of success in all areas of your life.

If you’re thinking about buying exercise equipment, it is always best to have some basic knowledge about what to look for. People who don’t do a little homework before making a purchase can find themselves regretting their decision very quickly.
The first step in looking for exercise equipment is to decide what type of training you actually want to do. Do you want to build muscle? Do you want to improve your cardiovascular health? Your purchase decision will depend on what you consider to be the most important goal in your quest for health and physical improvement.
Once you decide what your major goal is, then you can research the many options available. If building muscle is your priority, then look for products that will give your entire body a workout and not just one area. Multi-gyms with two or more pieces of exercise equipment connected together can be a good choice if they provide enough variety to exercise all the body parts. The drawback is the amount of space required to do the exercises and the storage ability if it’s a stationary unit.
Dumbbells are also a great choice because there are many different exercises you can do that can work all the muscle groups. They can mimic the actual mechanics of movement in real life applications making dumbbells the superior choice when compared to the machine type of exercise equipment.
When looking for cardiovascular types of apparatus, you should consider what you would enjoy doing the most. If you enjoy cycling more than walking or running, then a stationary cycle would be a better choice over a treadmill. They all help to improve your heart health, but the emphasis should be placed on the type of equipment that you feel you will stick with. If you purchase something you don’t like doing, chances are your exercise program won’t last long.
The type of exercise equipment to stay away from is the fad type of unit. These are the gimmicky pieces that are here today and gone tomorrow. How can you tell which are good and which are future garage sale items? Go to any fitness center or gym and see what they have for equipment. They would not waste their money on cheaply made gimmicks, but equip themselves with tried and true pieces.
Make your purchase decision based on smart research just as fitness centers have. Stay with the type of units and apparatus that have stood the test of time and usage. This will always be your best choice.
The question of how much to spend will come up as a choice between thrift and quality. A thrifty purchase may cost you more in the end by having repair problems from cheaply made materials. Even the usage of the equipment may be a lesson in frustration because it doesn’t have proper adjustments to compensate for height, comfort, or the stability of the unit.
If a quality piece of exercise equipment is your choice but the budget restricts you, then look in the newspapers in the classified section. There are people who are selling equipment all the time. Look in the sections under sports equipment or miscellaneous.
Another great place to check out is the fitness centers. Talk to the owners or managers and ask them if they are selling anything or if they know of anyone selling used equipment. Sometimes they have a bulletin board where members put up things they want to sell. You may be able to find a high-end piece at a good price.
You have made a choice to improve your health, physical conditioning and quality of life. Using the guidelines above, thoroughly conduct your research to make sure that the type of exercise equipment you purchase will be a wise choice.

Are Your Workout Routines Right for You?
So you’re pushing up 200lbs over your head during a military press and this young little hottie jamming with her video ipod walks by and gives you the once over. You notice her eyes kind of “stall” at your mid-section. You want to smile and say hello but you’d probably drop that weight on your head and put yourself in the hospital……so you try to squeak out a “hi” but it just turns out to be a REALLY LOUD grunt. Damn, better luck next time.
What if that girl was the one that was going to bring you happiness and joy. You know, the one who wanted to wash your skid-mark underwear? The one who likes it when you come home REALLY late from a night with your “drinking buddies” and throw up in bed. The one who thinks it’s cute when you stare at other women? How could you avoid these types of problems?
Well, let’s start with the obvious….is that workout routine the right one for you? What if it’s not…..you just grunted at your best friend’s future sex puppet and you weren’t even doing anything good for yourself! Oh, I didn’t tell you that he started to crack jokes about your loud grunt to her, one thing leads to the next and now he is getting more exercise inside the house than outside? Yea, forgot that little tid-bit. What’s up with that! So, obviously, having the proper workout for your specific goals is VERY important. How do you know your workout is on track with your goals? Well, first of all you’ve got to have a goal. Second you’ve got to find some workout routines. Yes, I said workout routines…that’s plural. You can’t just have one workout routine from the time you’re 20 until the time you’re 80……you’ll be lifting the same weight everyday and never change a damn thing.
Let’s start with a goal. Since most guys want to get bigger, I’ll slap out a couple of simple rules for that. The simple rules are: low reps, high weights to build size. That’s great, you hear that everywhere, but what the hell does that mean? That means if you want to build the size of the muscle, you should be lifting weight that is REALLY tough that last THREE reps. Make those last three impossible. Muhammad Ali once was asked “How many sit-ups do you do in a day?” His response was “I don’t know, I only start counting when it hurts”. What he is trying to say is, you are breaking down muscle when you are feeling it. You are making progress when you can’t make any more progress! Make it hurt. Make the last three hurt. By the way, low reps means you stay in a range from 6-10. Some say never go over 8, but if you are having trouble getting to 6, and the next weight is too light, make 10 hurt.
Sweet, we have the reps down, how about the sets? How many times should you do the same exercise? Three to four sets is a good amount. I recommend doing two sets, then switching exercises to get in three-four difference exercises each workout. Hit the muscle from all different angles. Narrow, regular, wide and super-wide grips….on whatever you are doing. Find different angles for whatever you are doing.
How about the length of time in between the workouts? Well, if you’re looking to put some muscle on, you should be waiting AT LEAST 7-8 days in between workout routines for a specific body part. Some suggest even longer like 10-12 days. The reason for this is, if you are working the muscle again too soon, you will be trying to break it down when it’s trying to build back up.
What about getting lean? So you’re a bit on the chunky side. You like to roll up your hot dog with a meat-bun. You’re thinking you can’t really see Mr. Johnson all that well anymore? Well, my friend, you are at the opposite end of the spectrum, and you’re going to need to start lowering the weight, and increasing your reps. If you REALLY can’t see Mr. Johnson anymore, you’re going to have to do more than just workout. So, you still want to make those last three reps burn. Make them hurt. Make them make YOU scream for Mama. Get the pain, get the gain. Low weight, high reps, and you’ll get that definition like Brad Pitt.
How about the length of time in between workout routines to get ripped and super-fit? Every other day. Do a “whole-body” workout three days per week. You’ll be sore, on Wednesday from Monday’s workout, but you’ll be burning major calories and keeping those muscles lean and mean. No bulking here. You’ll be breaking the muscle down before it has time to build back up.
So, I know what you’re asking. “Where do I get workout routines!” Well, you go to a gym and ask all the guys with big muscles and little packages to “Give me your workout routines or the protein shake gets it!”, or, you could go to the library (I know, why the hell would you do that when you have Google and http://Digg.com?) and check out a bunch of “bodybuilding” books and articles OR you could just check out http://SUPER-FIT.COM and get an endless supply of workout routines that you can download onto your MP3 player, Ipod or Video Ipod, that way you don’t have to do any of the work, and you know that you are getting quality workout routines that are doing the job that you want them to do. Now you have time to get your own sex-puppet.
