How to lose fat from thighs – Adopt the correct mindset

I am sure your goal is to lose fat from your thighs permanently, right? In order to achieve permanent fat loss, you need a different mindset, that you have right now. Your attitude towards fat loss is far more important than exercise or nutrition.

It is much better to focus on changing your habits, which can be good or bad.

Since you have trouble losing thigh fat, then it means most of your habits are not good. A habit is a behavior that you do automatically without thinking.

Permanent fat loss can not be achieved by going on diets and then coming off diets. It is stupid and does not work.

Rubber Mats For Horse Stables And Other Uses

Rubber Mats For Horse Stables And Other Uses

When you own horses it is important to see that they have safe and comfortable surroundings. Rubber mats for horse stables goes along way towards providing these two essential needs.

These large animals average in weight of about 1,000 pounds. Most times they are kept outdoors where they can move about freely. However, when stall-kept they do stay cleaner and are less likely to get bitten up by insects in the pasture or scars from fencing, etc.

If there is a run-in shed in the pasture or a shelter in a corral these are the perfect solution to keep a barrier between ground and hoofs, especially if there is inclement weather happening.

If a horse is kept in a stable, or box stall, they are more prone to colic, boredom and leg problems (from lack of movement). One way to cushion the stall is with thick rubber. This is a great barrier between the concrete floor and the hoofs. On top there is usually a bedding material laid down for the horses to rest, such as straw, chips or shavings.

Rubber mats not only cushion feet, legs and joints of the large animal but also are easier to keep the individual stalls, within the stables, clean and sanitary. This is of the utmost importance when horses are kept indoors.

These usually come in a 1/2″ – 3/4″ thickness and a 4’x 6′ or 4’x 8′ dimension, and are also available in other sizes and even as “rolled” so that it can be cut to fit any custom size that is needed. They are very heavy and are very durable. They can have either a smooth finish or an anti-slip type of surface. Depending on where and how the mats are to be used will determine which size and finish is … Read More

Endurance Supplements – Support For Athletes and Runners?

Endurance Supplements - Support For Athletes and Runners?

Out there are many performance and recovery products for top athletes, runners, cyclists, etc – more commonly known as Endurance Supplements. Some of them might support athletes, as being formulated to increase athletic performance, stamina and endurance, some of them even allowing quicker recovery times.

Yet no one knows exactly what a “good” endurance product should be able “do”. Do they meet certain vital requirements? Here are some of the main criteria:

Being Loaded with Electrolytes such as Sodium

Electrolytes are essential for our muscles to function – they even affect pH and fluid balances in our body. After continuous sport activities and endurance performances it is important to replace lost electrolytes. The electrolyte nutrients that are most often added to athlete’s drinks are potassium and sodium.

During endurance events such as cycling, adventure racing and triathlons, inadequate repletion of sodium can lead to a dangerous condition known as hyponatremia (may lead to neurological symptoms, swelling of brain, fatigue etc.).

Sodium promotes proper muscle function and is essential in many bodily processes, including the maintenance of well balanced fluid levels within the body. The body’s sodium level is the key determination of how much water stays within the body – the primary cause of sodium loss is through exercise induced perspiration.

In intense exercise an athlete may lose more than 3,000 mg of sodium per day – for example if an athlete sweats about 1.5 liter per hour, and his sodium losses per liter is about 750 milligrams, i.e. if he exercises for three hours, his total sodium loss is 3375 milligrams of sodium!

Raising Body Alkalinity

Bringing the body to a more alkaline state is very important – it is well known that all of us, especially athletes, should maintain proper alkaline pH levels in the blood and tissues, … Read More
