SWIMMING MAY MAKE YOU FAT

administrator    Belair Health Club    

What is the first thought that comes to your mind when you look at a competitive swimmer, poised to jump in and slice through water with precise and seemingly effortless strokes of his hands?  “What a great, sexy looking physique?” is what that crossed your mind, right?  And yet, swimming can also make you fat.  Yes, that is what I said.  Swimming is one of the few exercises other than weight training that hits almost all the muscles and is one of the best exercise for the body.  Yet, you could be making a big mistake if you jump into the pool hoping to reduce your body weight and fat levels. read more

PCOD or Polycystic Ovary Syndrome has now come to be very common and lot of cause for concern among young women between the age of 20 and 30.  Medical science is still not very clear about what causes the hormonal changes that has come to be termed as PCOD.  This is condition where there is an imbalance of women’s sex hormones such as the estrogen, progesterone and also the male hormones such as androgen.  Women also have some male hormone in their body as men do some female hormones.  Though it is not entirely classified as a genetic disorder, it is common to see mother and daughters suffering from PCOD. read more

HOW TO WIN RESPECT AND STAY ON TOP

­­­­­ I was having a coffee at Café Magnet when this young lad walked up and asked me if I owned a Belair Health Club.  “I am Regi’s (not real name) friend.  Did he talk to you about me?”  Yes, he had.   This boy needed counseling on how to build up a little more confidence, but wouldn’t come to the gym to get started.  He wished to know if there was anything he could do at home that would transform his self.  It seemed a bit odd that he should choose me to give him lessons on this subject, but I thought I would find out what the boy’s problem was and refer him to a psychologist, if he so needed it. read more

TREADMILL

Have you noticed that your body has a certain way of doing things, I mean, when you acquire proficiency at something, the body sets about doing it in its own pace and rhythm. If you had a twin brother and both of you were asked to answer the same question with some chosen words as answers, you will find that both of you have different style of saying it. From your mannerism to how much space you provide between words, even the passion with which it is said.. all will be so unique. Now try saying the same answer without following the same mannerisms and body language. You will find that you are starting to stammer and grope for the answer. It will not be smooth and controlled as before. Have noticed the way you ride your bike, or drive your car? You have your own way of doing it.

It is the same with jogging too. Even when you set about to run at 5 km/hour, you will probably do it at 4.9km/hr for some time, then 5.1km/hr etc etc and it is your body that decides its own rhythm and pace , not your conscious mind. read more

What is the first thing that comes to your mind at the mention of the word Diabetes?  Some problem arising out of unmanageable sugar levels, right? Yes and you think that is all there is to it.   Do you realize that most diabetic patients suffer from sexual dysfunction too?  Considering that Diabetes catches men young these days; it is indeed a grave thought, not to mention the mental pressure and depression they suffer; it is imperative that people become more aware about this deadly disease that can slowly, torturously squeeze the zest out of your life.

Being sexually active is very important to do your best in life.  Almost everything in a man-woman relationship ultimately boils down to enjoying good sex life.  Everything, from the way read more
