By Colin GriffinIn Part One of our blog on this topic, we reviewed the science behind resistance training with a hypoxic (low oxygen) stimulus – one that simulates altitude through a hypoxic chamber or mask system. While there had been some initial focus on blood flow restriction by occlusion, recent studies have presented a strong case for the potential benefits of doing resistance training in a full hypoxic environment. The aim of this follow-up blog is to outline a more practical-based approach to implementing a hypoxic resistance training program with the needs of athletes, players and coaches in mind.

Share on:Facebook del.icio.us Digg StumbleUpon Twitter Intermittent fasting could help prevent type 2 diabetes and heart disease, according to a new report by Aston University researchers.The British Journal of Diabetes and Vascular Disease report suggests that intermittent/alternative day fasting can be as beneficial as having weight loss surgery for treating obesity and reducing the risk of related conditions such as heart disease and type 2 diabetes Researchers looked at a range of fasting-based diets, including the 5:2 diet which consists of five days eating ‘normally’ and two days of eating low calorie days which are called fasting days. The report, published by SAGE identifies alternative day fasting to be as effective as or more effective than counting calories every day to lose weight. Previous studies have also shown that it’s easier to adhere to this diet than it is to a general calorie-limiting diet.

There are not many things in life you can count on, but unfortunately one thing you can is that there will always be another “diet” book on the market. The latest to fly off the bookshelves in the U.K. promising quick and easy weight loss is The Fast Diet by Michael Mosley, a British physician. The whole premise of his book is that you can lose weight by eating your normal diet five days a week and eating a quarter of that (approximately 500 calories a day for a woman) the other two days.I don’t know about you, but soon as I see the word “fast,” my hair raises.

Intermittent fasting “What do you have for breakfast?” “I don’t eat breakfast.” “What do you mean you don’t eat breakfast?” It’s the most important meal of the day!”Or is it really? That’s right, I no longer eat breakfast, and I haven’t done so for a while. And this blog post is going to explain why I have given up “the most important meal of the day”. For the last year or so I no longer eat breakfast as a way of giving my digestive system a rest.

Share ! From fat to sickeningly anorexic and all points between, Martin Berkhan has occupied all parts of the physique spectrum. Today, he lives and breathes the life of a natural albeit non-competitive bodybuilder, a feat made all the more laudable provided his unrepentant fondness for cheesecake.He trains only two to three times in a given calendar week, eats all the ‘wrong’ foods, fasts for 16 hours a day, and takes in all of his carbohydrates at night, all at a bodyweight of 195 pounds and 5.5% body fat. Not bad, huh?Martin’s desire to rid himself of the neuroses that accompanied his pursuit of bodybuilding sparked a revolution in the online fitness community.
