You probably have seen them on the television, the advertisements that say you can get rock hard abs by wearing an abs belt only 10 minutes a day. Do these abdominal belts actually work?

To answer this question let me first explain what an abdominal belt is. An abdominal belt works with some kind of electrical muscle stimulation, also called EMS technology. This technology mimics an abdominal workout by contracting the abs. The belt gives the abs an electrical signal every 5 seconds. Usually on the belt is a device where you can put in a program or a time that the belt does contractions. While the belt is busy sending signals through your abs you can do other things.

A lot of ab belt manufacturers promise you to get hard abs and loose weight by only wearing the ab belt 10 minutes a day. This is not entirely true because if you are thinking you can loose weight and get hard abs while eating junk food and sitting on the couch playing video games all day you are wrong. The abdominal belt can loose you weight and get you hard abs but you have to put in much more effort next to the belt. If you play sports or run the treadmill for 30 minutes next to wearing the belt it might work.

There are plenty good ab belts out there but you have to realize that it is just an additional workout next to your normal workout and that it then might work for you. If you want to purchase an abdominal belt the best thing to do is to look online for one. Online you can compare different ab belts and their prices. You can also read reviews and see how other people think about an ab belt.

Peter B Murphy is a true fitness guru, he reviews and writes a lot about latest fitness equipment. His last two posts were about the Abgymnic and the Abtronic X2.

Exercise for Your Muscle Type


Exercise for Your Muscle Type


$9.99


Most exercise books offer a generic, one-size-fits-all approach to fitness, with the same workouts for everyone. Unfortunately, not everyone is alike. Each body possesses a unique combination of muscle fibers, and understanding one’s muscle makeup can have a huge impact on the success of an exercise program—a fact that, until now, has been largely ignored. The body has both fast-twitch and slow-twitch muscle fibers. Fast-twitch fibers are responsible for explosive, powerful movements—jumping, weight lifting, and so on. Slow-twitch fibers are used during endurance activities, such as walking and running. Exercise is more effective if it is based on an individual’s personal combination of muscle fibers. This book is useful for athletes, “weekend warriors,“ and those just starting an exercise program. Whether a reader is predominantly slow twitch, fast twitch, or a balance of the two, he or she will find the right exerciseprogram for his or her body type. With Exercise for Your Muscle Type, readers can: Use muscle makeup to achieve greater athletic success. Tailor workouts to address particular strengths and weaknesses. Follow detailed exercise plans provided for each muscle type. Discover new sports and activities that more closely fit a specific body type. People are often dissatisfied with the success of their exercise programs or activities, but they may simply have been the wrong programs for their muscular structure. Exercise for Your Muscle Type eliminates this frustration by showing readers how they are built and by helping them put together an appropriate personalized comprehensive exercise program. With a better understanding of one’s own body, anyone can achieve his or her fitness goals more quickly!

Vacuum Exercise


Vacuum Exercise


$66.91


High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles The vacuum exercise is an exercise which involves contracting some internal abdominal muscles, primarily the Transversus abdominis muscle, and not as much the diaphragm, the six pack muscles or abs which are trained through crunches, leg raises, or other core exercises. Repetitions of the exercise may be used as a form of endurance training, and light strength training. There is difficulty building strength in the muscle, as resistance training is difficult for internal muscles. Author: Surhone, Lambert M./ Timpledon, Miriam T./ Marseken, Susan F.

Muscle Weakness


Muscle Weakness


$68.51


Muscle weakness, also known as muscle fatigue, or lack of strength is a direct term for the inability to exert force with ones muscles to the degree that would be expected given the individuals general physical fitness. A test of strength is often used during a diagnosis of a muscular disorder before the etiology can be identified. Such etiology depends on the type of muscle weakness, which can be true or perceived as well as variable topically. True weakness is substantial, while perceived rather is a sensation of having to put more effort to do the same task. On the other hand, various topic locations for muscle weakness are central, neural and peripheral. Central muscle weakness is an overall exhaustion of the whole body, while peripheral weakness is an exhaustion of individual muscles. Neural weakness is somewhere between. Muscle weakness can be a result of vigorous exercise but abnormal fatigue may be caused by barriers to or interference with the different stages of muscle contraction. In a broader sense, muscle weakness is the muscular part of asthenia which may also be psychogenic, that is, physical fatigue with mental origin.

Isometric Exercise


Isometric Exercise


$73.28


High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Isometric exercise or isometrics are a type of strength training in which the joint angle and muscle length do not change during contraction (compared to concentric or eccentric contractions, called dynamic/isotonic movements). Isometrics are done in static positions, rather than being dynamic through a range of motion. The joint and muscle are either worked against an immovable force (overcoming isometric) or are held in a static position while opposed by resistance (yielding isometric). Isometric exercise is a form of exercise involving the static contraction of a muscle without any visible movement in the angle of the joint. This is reflected in the name; the term isometric combines Greek the prefixes iso (same) with metric (distance), meaning that in these exercises the length of the muscle does not change, as compared to isotonic contractions in which the contraction strength does not change but the joint angle does.

Cardiovascular Responses to Exercise


Cardiovascular Responses to Exercise


$40


Exercise is the act of increasing metabolic rate for the purpose of enhancing physical fitness. Exercise can be one of the most stressful physiological responses that the body undertakes. With exercise, there are increases in metabolic rate, heart rate, blood flow (hyperemia), respiration, and heat production. The increased metabolic requirement during exercise is well met by an increased blood flow (functional hyperemia) and oxygen supply to the exercising tissue, which is regulated by multiple local and systemic mechanisms. The local mechanisms (factors) are responsible for mediating the muscle homeostasis and vascular conductance to match the increased metabolic requirement, whereas the systemic mechanisms are responsible for the maintenance of blood pressure and global cardiovascular homeostasis, including the increase in and redistribution of cardiac output, which is mainly mediated by sympathetic activation. For instance, the substantial decreases in vascular resistance and resultant large increase in blood flow during exercise require higher blood pressure and more cardiac output, such that the metabolically active muscle can be perfused with adequate blood flow.This book will provide an overview of the cardiovascular responses to exercise under physiological conditions as well as some pathological circumstances.

Skeletal Muscle Circulation


Skeletal Muscle Circulation


$45


The aim of this treatise is to summarize the current understanding of the mechanisms for blood flow control to skeletal muscle under resting conditions, how perfusion is elevated (exercise hyperemia) to meet the increased demand for oxygen and other substrates during exercise, mechanisms underlying the beneficial effects of regular physical activity on cardiovascular health, the regulation of transcapillary fluid filtration and protein flux across the microvascular exchange vessels, and the role of changes in the skeletal muscle circulation in pathologic states. Skeletal muscle is unique among organs in that its blood flow can change over a remarkably large range. Compared to blood flow at rest, muscle blood flow can increase by more than 20-fold on average during intense exercise, while perfusion of certain individual white muscles or portions of those muscles can increase by as much as 80-fold. This is compared to maximal increases of 4- to 6-fold in the coronary circulation during exercise. These increases in muscle perfusion are required to meet the enormous demands for oxygen and nutrients by the active muscles.Because of its large mass and the fact that skeletal muscles receive 25% of the cardiac output at rest, sympathetically mediated vasoconstriction in vessels supplying this tissue allows central hemodynamic variables (e.g., blood pressure) to be spared during stresses such as hypovolemic shock. Sympathetic vasoconstriction in skeletal muscle in such pathologic conditions also effectively shunts blood flow away from muscles to tissues that are more sensitive to reductions in their blood supply that might otherwise occur. Again, because of its large mass and percentage of cardiac output directed to skeletal muscle, alterations in blood vessel structure and function with chronic disease (e.g., hypertension) contribute significantly to the pathology of such disorders. Alterations in skeletal muscle vascular resistance and/or in the exchange properties of this vascular bed also modify transcapillary fluid filtration and solute movement across the microvascular barrier to influence muscle function and contribute to disease pathology.Finally, it is clear that exercise training induces an adaptive transformation to a protected phenotype in the vasculature supplying skeletal muscle and other tissues to promote overall cardiovascular health.
