Fitness Tip: Warm up before you pump up - Never exercise a cold muscle. Walk/jog in place, jump rope, swing the arms back and forth, or walk up and down a flight of stairs for about a minute or two. This will safely prepare the muscles for the workload that is to follow.

Because we LOVE to eat and won’t diet we spend at least an hour and a half walking every day. Nearly two miles of it is a steep grade. The locals call it heart attack hill. As former runners with arthritic joints, we view the challenge as a way to get a runner’s high without additional joint damage.
But the other big payoff is we look decades younger than we really are. Our bodies don’t have layers of flabby, unattractive fat deposits. A bikini is still possible for me and I don’t have to wear “Mom jeans”. Additionally, my legs with their long, smooth muscles are sexy enough to turn heads everywhere we go. Even our abdominal muscles are tighter.
Walking for exercise has a number of benefits.
1. It helps regulate weight without unpleasant dieting.
2. Walking is good exercise regardless of age.
3. Walking can improve heart health and diabetes. If you did ever have a heart attack, you are much more likely to survive.
4. Endorphins cause the runner high and help alleviate depression. It’s also a great time to step away from problems, think more clearly and come up with solutions.
5. Walking is a pleasant way to spend time with your lover and your dog.
6. Losing weight and gaining a leaner, more muscular body can make a big difference in how attractive any body looks.
7. A stronger, healthier body will insure you feel like getting naked and making love.
Your walking goal should be about 4 miles a day (it doesn’t have to be all at once), but even a much shorter distance will make you look and feel better. An additional step for sex appeal and body strengthening and shaping is weight training. Lifting weights and weight training will help keep your body strong and attractive into old age. It also raises your metabolism so you loose weight while eating the same amount of food.
Such a big part of physical attraction is essential strength. At least some people who become sexually dysfunctional and/or in need of nursing care at a young age are literally too weak to care for themselves. Like my grandpa used to say, “If you sit down, you’ll freeze up.”
Don’t freeze up. Get moving and find your sex appeal.

Women Bodybuilding For Beginners
by: Kevin Doberstein
With the current craze of the Atkins diet women are finding success fitting into clothes that they couldn’t fit into for a while. Without a doubt the Atkins diet works. Unfortunately the diet doesn’t help muscle tone or the cardiovascular system. Now with the fat that was covering the underlying muscle melted off,. you would like to see these muscles toned up. Why not try bodybuilding? You probably have some questions why you should start bodybuilding. I listed below some of the questions I have been asked over the years. Hopefully this will answer your queries.
Question 1
If I start bodybuilding will I develop huge muscles and have to quit my job as a dental hygienist? I’m not looking forward to becoming a longshoreman and working on the docks and changing my name to Butch.
No. A woman does not have the testosterone levels as a man to build huge muscles. The bodybuilding training will only tone muscles and add shape.
Question 2
Will I have to 2nd mortgage the house so I can buy supplements to support my bodybuilding endeavors?
No. Just follow a natural well-balanced eating plan.
Question 3
Can I build a larger chest with bodybuilding?
No. But you can tone the underlying muscles of your chest which will help enhance your appearance.
Question 4
Do I have to join a gym?
No. You can workout at home buying some dumbbells and simple equipment. But it is helpful to train at a bodybuilding gym. It is great to be in an atmosphere where everybody else there is working towards the same goals as you.
Question 5
Do I have to commit a lot time to bodybuilding?
No. 3 times a week 1-hour sessions are all you really need to keep toned.
Question 6
Do I have to yell really loud when lifting weights or grunt like the guys at the gym or expel deadly gases while working out?
No. Please no. I was parking my truck in the parking lot of the gym I own in Northern Wisconsin and I heard a guy yelling from inside the gym. I thought he was hurt from the ear-splitting roar. After getting inside I found him finishing a set of wrist curls.
I hope this will answer your questions if you are interested in starting bodybuilding. It is a great individual sport. And you can choose the level you want to be at. From a recreational bodybuilder to a highly competitive bodybuilder that competes at shows. Hopefully this article will be a start of a series of women bodybuilding for beginners. Please join the newsletter on the www.nature-boy-bodybuilding.com site to keep informed of new articles in the future. If you have any questions about bodybuilding please don’t hesitate to e-mail me at natureboy_bodybuilding@hotmail.com. Please be sure to check with your doctor before starting a bodybuilding program.
