Why Some Men Die Early

July 16th, 2011

I completed workout number 11 at Tony Cruz XTC gym in Tyler over by The Diner. I weighed myself right after and I have now gone from weighing 195 lbs down to 175 lbs.

This is really impressive considering I only work out every other week day for 45 minutes at their kickboxing class during my lunch break.

The truth is that about 10 lbs of that weight is likely water weight and so over the next few months comes the really hard part and that is losing the fat.

I will be continuing my kick boxing workout routine in the XTC kick boxing group workout class on my lunch break and adding a Yoga class to the mix.

As a man Yoga was something I never quite understood why I would ever want to do it as I always imagined it being nothing more than a lot of stretching with no results.

What I have found out is that some of the top weight loss results from some of the men that workout at XTC Fitness have come from adding in a Yoga class in their weekly routine.

I never thought I would be doing Yoga some day but I will be adding it in as a part of my routine at least once a week and the great news is it is free with my XTC membership as are all the group exercise classes.

If you have been thinking about a Tyler gym membership I recommend going by and checking out XTC’s group exercise classes. This is the best way to move your greatest asset into action, that being your will power.

Having an exercise trainer and those around you motivated to do the same thing is powerful and a shortcut to getting the type of fitness results you need.

Although some men die early as shown in the above pictures you also want to avoid one of the most common causes of early death among men, heart disease!

Here are the leading causes of death in the United States and some average numbers of deaths over the course of one year:

  • Heart disease: 600,000
  • Cancer: 560,000
  • Stroke (cerebrovascular diseases): 140,000
  • Chronic lower respiratory diseases: 130,000
  • Accidents (unintentional injuries): 120,000
  • Alzheimer’s disease: 70,000
  • Diabetes: 70,000
  • Influenza and Pneumonia: 50,000
  • Nephritis, nephrotic syndrome, and nephrosis: 50,000
  • Septicemia: 35,000

Don’t get me wrong here; we will all die someday and I am not trying to freak you out. My attitude is bring it on God I am ready when you think it is my time.

There is no reason to be scared of death if you know where you will be going and I personally do not strive to find the fountain of youth or magic pill of happiness.

Here is a little tip to help you avoid constant disappointment when it comes to weight loss, there are no quick fixes.

There is good news however, exercise has many daily positive benefits related to just living a good, healthy happy life where you feel good all day long.

Exercise helps you begin the practice of prioritizing things and your health and energy level should be close to the top.

You can’t really live efficiently if you always fill stagnant and glum from sitting in a chair all day.

Benefits of a Tyler TX Gym Workout

June 14th, 2011

Tony Cruz CTC FitnessStudies have shown that about 1/3rd of cancer related deaths occurred because of a bad diet and a Homer Simpson type of sit on the coach watch TV lifestyle. By simply moving your body with some basic although brisk exercise you decrease your chances of getting:

Certain cancers:

  • breast
  • colon
  • endometrial
  • prostate

The short jog, cardio routine, or local Tyler Texas gym workout during your work lunch break is linked to a 50 percent lower risk of being told one day you have colon cancer.  The Journal of the American Medical Association discovered that a woman’s chance of getting breast cancer can be reduced by 18% simply by getting in 1 – 2 hours of a brisk walk in each week as compared next to women with sedentary lifestyles.

Another benefit of a workout routine like what is offered in the kickboxing classes at XTC Fitness and Sports is a dramatic reduction in cardiovascular disease chances. Cardio disease is the most common cause of dieing in the United States right now. Exercise almost guarantees you will not die of overweight cardio related issues because of never getting into a routine of daily movement.

Everyone dies eventually but heart attacks can take 30 – 40 years off your life if you are obese.

At this point your rational mind is likely convinced of some of the benefits of working out but your emotional side might still be thinking of how that ice-cream or Oreo will feel going in your mouth.

What you need is a trick to change up things just enough to cause your emotional brain to get on board with your rational mind.

None of us likes to think we need  other people and programs to get us doing something but in reality we are like robots and we easily find ourselves in bad habits causing us to do the exact same things day after day.

You can quickly trick your body into doing some good by using one of the most valuable weapons in your arsenal, your will power.

Our will power is often squandered and put aside as we allow the path of least resistance to often times make our decision up for us.

By changing your environment and getting into a gym setting with class mates who have the same goals as you do you assist in getting your emotional side on board with your rational mind.

Having the encouragement of class mates and a kickboxing instructor with you for the entire workout routine helps you do what your emotions don’t want to do.

Go ahead and admit it, you may have the will power but you don’t want to use it to workout.

You can cheat these emotional thoughts that rob you of a healthy lifestyle by changing your environment and thereby changing your emotional mind.

Before you know it 30 days will have past and you will have a new routine in place of your trip to the food store, couch and TV.

Go by XTC Fitness on Broadway next to The Diner and pick up a workout class schedule today.

Diet is Not Just a Temporary Solution to Weight Loss

July 27th, 2010

Diet is important if you want to lose weight.  You cannot realistically expect to eat fast food every day for lunch and notice anything but an increase in your size.  The food choices you make have an impact on not only your size, but also your overall health.  Learning how to adopt a healthy diet, however, can be difficult with all of the crash and fad diets lurking around Tyler, Texas.

Diet does not refer to a temporary change in eating habits for the purpose of weight loss, but rather to a lifestyle habit.  The nutrition plan you adopt should be one that provides adequate nutrients to the body and is sustainable even after your weight loss goals have been met.  Speak to your Tyler, Texas doctor or dietary specialist for expert help on finding the right balance of fats, carbs, proteins, and calories.

Plenty of information is also available on the internet, but you must be careful of sites promising unrealistic results.  Doctors recommend a rate of weight loss of no more than 2 pounds a week for health.  It is easy to lose water weight for a week or two, making a diet initially seem like it is working, but once the water weight is off the body enters starvation mode and holds on to fat even more.

Of course, a healthy diet will aid in weight loss, but to achieve tone you must also exercise.  Start out by simply walking every day and build up from there.

The number one long term healthy way to lose weight is to get on an established exercise workout routine. A group exercise class is one of the best methods of creating a routine: Visit the Tony Cruz XTC Fitness & Sports location: Map Website Blog

Tyler, Texas Weight Loss

July 23rd, 2010

Tyler TX Weight LossThe battle of the bulge is one that almost every person in the United States is familiar with.  With obesity reaching epic proportions in the country, it’s no wonder the weight loss industry is as large as the mass sum of all the people wanting to lose weight.

The fact is, unfortunately, that many programs and products marketed to help with weight loss are nothing more than marketing schemes.  Knowing which programs work and which are scams is very difficult when schemers are so very creative pulling you into their products.

So how do you know which weight loss methods in Tyler, Texas are methods that will give you positive results?  Simply speaking, there are no “wonder pills” that will make you drop 20 pounds in a week, nor are there any healthy quick fixes for obesity.  Weight loss takes time if it is done right.  Anyone in Tyler, Texas that promises you miraculous results in a short period of time is only after your money.

The most efficient and proven method for weight loss in Tyler, Texas and everywhere is adopting a healthy diet and exercise routine.  While some of the weight loss supplements available do help some, none will give the desired results on their own.  Most of these supplements are designed either to suppress the appetite, stimulate the metabolism for energy, or both.  Without a good diet and exercise program, however, weight loss will be minimal and nothing will be done for muscle tone.

Kick start your workout routine and weight loss goal by trying a group exercise class. You may not have the will power to start out with but in a group you will find it: Visit the Tony Cruz XTC Fitness & Sports location: Map Website Blog
