Quantum
Physiques:Lean without Burning Fat!
It
seems amazing that mankind has developed technologies
to cook without heat, communicate without wires and
store libraries full of information on the head of a
pin yet we are completely lost on how to burn our own
fat. Fat is not complex stuff. The problem is that everyone
is asking the wrong questions.
Fat is only one side of a very simple equation. It is
'inactive' tissue making up part of our body. 'Lean
mass' is everything else. Lean mass includes all of
the 'active' tissues of the body: skeleton, major organs,
brain and muscles. Lean mass is mostly muscle.
Obesity has been defined as 'bodyfat levels greater
than 30% of bodyweight'. But we can also define obesity
as 'lean mass LESS than 70% of bodyweight'. Both mean
exactly the same thing but the latter shifts our focus
to the relevant, active, healthy tissues.
The concept of 'burning' fat is an anomaly. If we want
to have relatively less fat then we are saying that
we want relatively more muscle. This is just basic math.
Many people panic at the thought of having 'muscles'
but contradictorily want to be 'lean'. 'Muscles' don't
mean looking like a professional bodybuilder. Muscles
are the only thing covering your skeleton when you have
low fat.
The answer is simpler than you could imagine. Food determines
your weight. Strength determines your lean mass. Fat
is just the difference in between. If you want less
fat, then eat less BUT work to maintain or increase
your muscular strength. Alternatively you can eat the
same and just work to get stronger. Either way, forget
'burning fat'. Your body will take care of that anyway.
So the question then is how to best manipulate your
strength? Cardiovascular exercise only makes you stronger
when you have to carry around your own excess fat. Weights
are the real key. But that's another article. Or for
a faster answer, call Quantum Physiques on 3252 2100.

KickBike:Arguably the Best Aerobic Workout Available!
Developed as a cross-training device for elite Nordic
athletes 9 years ago, its fusion of acute performance
and European style encourages easy transition from gentle
broad-walk gliding, to a low impact, full-on total body,
aerobic workout. It's about spirited people, a funky
motion and a liberating sensation.
Even if your workout is the gentle broad-walk stroll,
you can still expect to stretch your hamstring, strengthen
and tone your quadriceps and calf muscles, as well as
trim down and firm up your thighs and buttocks! You
will also strengthen your diagonal lower abdominals,
lower back and shoulders. Not bad results from just
having a bit of fun.
KICKBIKING, generates a low impact foot strike,
as your body weight is principally supported by the
stationary leg. This significantly reduces shock to
the knees and lower extremities. Injury prevention is
further enhanced by not fixing you to a specific position,
which reduces muscle stiffness, strain and the chance
of injury. All you need to do is remember to change
legs regularly.
So the Kickbike will give you all the benefits of running
without the high impact that causes most injuries. In
fact because of the low impact, and the targeted muscle
groups, it gives athletes the chance to start training
a lot earlier in their rehabilitation process.
Alternatively if you increase the pace for twenty minutes
at good Kickbike pace, you will get all the above body
benefits as well as an aerobic workout equal to an hours
cycling.
So forgo the nip and tuck, and kick your butt into shape
on a KICKBIKE. It's the simplest, safest and most enjoyable
way to reduce fat and/or improve your fitness!

Dynamic
duo for blood vessels
Researchers have reported that a combination of antioxidants
and the amino acid L-arginine may protect the body’s
blood vessels from inflammation and plaque build-up,
which are both major contributing factors to atherosclerosis
(hardening of the arteries). Basically, researchers
used a culture dish test to expose human cells to a
variety of fluid flow forces (mimicking the wear and
tear that affects blood vessels over time). They then
found that fewer inflammatory compounds were produced
when the cells were coated with L-arginine and antioxidants.
This combination was also observed to cause the cells
to produce an enzyme known as eNOS (endothelial nitric
oxide synthase), which enables blood vessels to expand
and reduces the incidence of blood clotting.
