Ectomorph Training Program

OK it’s time to get serious.  Now that all the New Years resolution people have fallen off the band wagon, those of us who are serious can really kick it into gear.  There are a tone of workouts and diets out there but Ectomorph Training is an Effective weight training program that really WORKS.

Finding the perfect balance between weight gain and diet isn’t easy.  Ectomorph training is the ideal way to maximize the benefits of your weight training.  I’m not talking about becoming a body builder.  I am a mom of two and while I want to be a fit female and have noticeable results, I think my husband would kill me if I looked like a pro wrestler.

Here are a few tricks and trendy tips that will help you enjoy results that are more noticeable than your previous workouts may have been.

Eat the Right Foods to Maximize Your Potential – Weight training workouts like ectomorph training programs burn a lot of calories.  There are two specific foods that are a must on an ectomorph program.

• Traditional Lean Proteins like Chicken, Eggs Whites, Lite Tuna, Salmon can be easy to prepare and delicious.  Lean Proteins are necessary to build the muscles you are working out each day.  
• Complex Carbohydrates – Complex Carbs are the ideal fuel your body needs to burn off while working out.   A lack of Carbs to burn when working out will train your body to burn your fuel protein.  This is the last thing you want when you are working to build Lean Muscle and Tone your body.
• Take Supplements When Needed for Additional Protein and Nutrients

Proper nutrition including vitamins is vital when building muscles. For the most part, a solid daily multivitamin and whey protein will be enough to get the job done for the beginning ectomorph training program.

Eat the Right Foods at the Right times will also impact your Ectomorph Training results - Eating your complex carbohydrates before your workouts is key to success.  Carbs will fuel your workouts so that muscles you have worked so hard to build already don’t pay the price. 

Remember that the right Ectomorph Training Program isn’t just about Eating the Right Foods but about the combination of nutrition and workouts.

Keep Workouts Short and Targeted for Better Results – Slow and Steady is important when focused on an Ectomorph Training Program.  Pushing too hard in your workout can actually take a negative effect on your workout goals.

These three small but simple ectomorph training tips can really help you make the most of your ectomorph training program.

Super Foods for the Whole Family…

We each have different nutritional needs right? If you want to discover the best foods for both you and your family, keep reading…..

Doing some research, I found that one in every five women have so history of UTI’s otherwise known as urinary tract infections. I am the fortunate one only having one urinary tract infection ever, but I am among the few lucky few. The average woman has three a year,” My mom use to tell me that cranberry juice was the cure all for urinary tract infections, was she right? I can’t tell you for sure, but I am a cranberry juice drinker and we have already discovered that I get luck every year with only one UTI. Coincidence, I don’t think so….

Here are my top pics for disease-fighting foods for the whole family.

1. Oysters. Myth has it that oysters are the food of love, an aphrodisiac you might say. Science may just agree. Just two to three oysters deliver a full day’s supply of zinc, a mineral critical for normal functioning of the male reproductive system. Scientists are divided over reports that sperm counts have declined over the last 50 years and that environmental factors are to blame. Getting adequate zinc is sometimes the answer. In one trial, 22 men with low testosterone levels and sperm counts were given zinc every day for 45 to 50 days. Testosterone levels and sperm counts rose.

I am thinking that my husband will likely take a Zinc pill over eating an    Oyster.  Either way it’s never been so easy to get my husband to eat something that might be good for him.

2. Broccoli. This lucky mom has two growing girls that love Broccoli. Who knew that forcing my children to eat their green veggies could save their lives? A recent Harvard study finds that cruciferous vegetables, like broccoli, may protect against bladder cancer. It’s one of the most common cancers in the US and affects two to three times as many men as women. Broccoli and cabbage lead the pack of the most protective foods.

3. Peanut Butter. The jiffy commercials were right, eating peanut butter does make your heart beat a little stronger.  If you want a healthy heart, spread your morning toast with peanut butter. Heart disease is the leading killer of men and women, but men fall victim at an earlier age.  “Peanut butter is a little higher in fat,” says Penny Kris-Etherton, Ph.D., the lead author of the Penn State study. “But it’s the type that’s good for you — monounsaturated fat.” Researchers have predicted that the peanut diet could reduce heart-disease risk even more than could the AHA diet. Just don’t go nutty plastering on the tasty spread, since it is high in calories.

4. Flaxseed. Years ago a nutritionist encouraged me to take flaxseed as a part of my daily regimen to help with joint pains and aches.  Who knew that Flaxseed the ingredient that bakers use for that nutty-flavor could be so good for you? It doesn’t look very appetizing but scientists say the tiny reddish-brown seed, rich in estrogen like compounds called lignans, are a potential weapon against breast cancer. An exciting report at last year’s San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium showed that adding flaxseed to the diet of women with breast cancer effectively slowed tumor growth. You can flavor your muffins with flaxseed, but the easiest way to get the beneficial lignans is to sprinkle a few tablespoons of ground flaxseed on your morning cereal. Look for the seeds in health food stores or in supermarkets on the flour aisle. They’re easy to grind in a blender or coffee grinder. But get seeds — there are no lignans in the oil.

5. Buffalo Meat. That’s right Meat and more Meat, who knew.  Due largely to menstruation, women tend to be anemic more than men. Low iron levels in blood can cause severe fatigue and fatigue doesn’t work well for busy moms like you and I. To get a good dose of iron, try bison. Buffalo meat is lean and has what diet-conscious women understand, Buffalo Meat has lots of iron and less fat than most cuts of beef. Buffalo meat can help boost energy and lower weight. And you don’t have to have a home on the range to get some bison anymore. You can pick it up at many supermarkets across the United States, or look for a local bison ranch in your area. You’d be surprised how many there are.

Why water is necessary

1. Our bodies contain over 70 percent water.

2. You can go longer without food than water.

3. Our bodies need a lot of water to function efficiently.

4. Water helps flush out harmful toxins and thus readies the body for fat loss.

When your body is not getting enough water

~It tries to hold on to the water it has. Since over 70 percent of our muscle is made of water, the lack of it makes our body use the existing water for other functions, leaving you bloated.

~How do you get rid of that excess water? By drinking enough water!
