THIS IS SOMETHING YOU’VE NEVER SEEN BEFORE.

This is a revolutionary, powerful new hair regrowth technique that will become mainstream in five to ten years. Once everyone knows about this, hair loss will be a thing of the past. Don’t believe me? Try me. If you still don’t believe it after you’ve read this page, come back five years from now when everyone else starts to find out about this revolutionary new method and it’s in the mainstream media.

This is something you’ve never seen before. This brand-new technique is based on a scientific study (with empirical proof that hair loss is reversible), which triggers hair regrowth in the scalp using an amazing (but seemingly obvious once you understand it) technique that uses a growth hormone (available abundantly and cheaply online at Amazon, eBay and many other stores) to trigger hair regrowth in the scalp.

HI. MY NAME IS CHRIS AND THIS IS MY STORY.

What I’ve discovered is something very unusual. It’s unusual because, as far as I know, no one else has done what I’ve done. And many, many people have tried.

What I’ve come up with is the result of years of failure. I’ve failed so many times and as a result, learnt a great many things that most people don’t know. I kept researching and testing until I eventually found what you’re about to learn about. This is a unique and powerful hair regrowth methodology. In my opinion — and based on the results — this is the best way in the world to regrow your hair.

HOW IT WORKS

It’s very simple. Right now your hair is receiving a very restricted supply of nutrients via your bloodstream. My instructions show you exactly how to massively increase the nutrient supply to your hair, in two simple steps:

Step 1: Increase your consumption of several key nutrients that provoke hair growth and that cause the reactivation of dormant hair follicles (making dormant hair start to grow again).

Step 2: Increase the blood flow to the hair follicles, delivering all those key nutrients to your hair in much larger quantities, making it grow fast.

Those are the basic principles of these simple instructions. However there are a few crucial breakthroughs that make hair regrowth happen where it wouldn’t otherwise happen with just the two steps above. The key breakthroughs that make this work are as follows:

• Increase a growth hormone in your scalp and provoke a hair growth healing reaction that causes more hairs to grow than were present before
• Increase cell energy and communication in your scalp, rejuvenating cells and making them work more effectively to perform functions
• Reduce inflammation in your scalp, which is key to enabling blood to flow to your hair follicles, feeding them

This method not only works to trigger the reactivation of dormant hair follicles (making hair thicker), it also improves the health of the hair and improves the appearance of skin.

Let’s examine this simple approach in more detail.

STEP 1: FIRST THING IN THE MORNING

First thing in the morning all you have to do is drink a healthy fruit or vegetable drink and take a supplement, which is comprised of just one compound. It’s not a multivitamin or a hair loss supplement! It’s just one compound that works in the hair follicle to reactivate it. The healthy drink contains key hair growth supporting nutrients including B vitamins (which support cellular growth and production of amino acids), citruline (a precursor to nitrogen, needed for cardiovascular health) and antioxidants (which prevent free-radical damage and reduce inflammation). These are superfoods available in your average grocery store — it’s just that very few people know what they are or how to use them.

STEP 2: RIGHT BEFORE BED

All you need to do before bed, twice per week is use a special tool described in the eBook, which causes your body to send blood to your scalp, filling the tiny capillaries in your scalp with blood. This is absolutely crucial for hair growth because as a hair loss sufferer the capillaries in your scalp are likely to be very weak and inactive meaning your hair is not receiving the vital nutrients it needs to grow.

This simple method causes blood to flow to your hair carrying with it the key hair growth nutrients I show you in the eBook. These key nutrients have very specific roles in promoting hair growth, including the activation of potassium-ion channels in the hair follicle and the development of hair keratin using key amino acids including cysteine, lysine and methionine.

In addition to this I’ll show you how to make a revolutionary new Hair Growth Tonic, which increases growth hormone levels in your scalp, causing hair to start growing again. Research has proven that adding the growth hormone IGF-1 directly to your scalp, after using the tool in the way I explain, increases hair growth and density.

I provide citations to highly credible hair loss studies in the eBook so you can verify the validity.

ANTIOXIDANTS, ANTI-INFLAMMATORIES AND 5-ALPHA REDUCTASE INHIBITORS

WHAT ARE FREE RADICALS?

Free radicals are released when atoms bond. They can damage healthy surrounding biology. However they can be neutralised by antioxidants, which are found in foods like fresh fruit.

I provide instructions on how to make your own extremely effective Hair Growth Tonic, which you massage into your scalp before bed, after Step 2 above. This simple and easy to mix tonic contains the world’s most powerful natural source of antioxidants, which scavenge free radicals in your scalp and reduce inflammation helping to improve blood blow to the hair via the blood vessels in the scalp. Again, it is proven in scientific research that this natural source of antioxidants increases hair growth — I also provide links to this study’s proven results in the eBook.

The tonic is cheap to produce. You can use it just twice a week – or every night if you like – to gain the benefits of massaging the antioxidants, IGF-1, circulation boosters and other ingredients into your scalp.

The tonic also contains powerful natural ingredients that inhibit the conversion of testosterone to “DHT”, a hormone by-product that causes androgenic alopecia – the most common form of hair loss.

Using the inexpensive tool from Step 2 and the Hair Growth Tonic twice per week you will improve the health of your scalp, getting it into the ideal condition for hair growth.

The above techniques are the core instructions in the eBook. They hardly take up any of your time and they’re extremely powerful techniques that worked to regrow my hair. As well as using the above techniques I show you how to reverse years of damage done to your scalp, body and mind, making it healthier and like that of someone who has perfectly thick, healthy hair and skin.

Let’s take a look at these powerful techniques.

CLEAR THE PORES IN YOUR SCALP AND REMOVE YEARS OF BUILT-UP COSMETICS

Every time you shampoo your hair, chemical residues are left on your hair and scalp.

In fact any product applied to your hair or scalp leaves chemical residues that can settle on your scalp and even absorb into your skin.

Unfortunately this means that after years of using products on your hair, coupled with incorrect scalp washing, residues can build-up blocking the pores.

Because I experienced exactly the problem described above due to years of using hair gels and waxes and not washing my hair and scalp before going to bed, my scalp skin was nit in thebideal condition for hair growth.

To solve this problem I developed what I call a “scalp skin reset”, which clears the pores, removing any built-up chemicals, skin sebum and dead skin cells, completely revitalizing the scalp skin, making it fresh and renewed.

After completing this simple but thorough procedure, your scalp will be completely revitalized. The scalp skin reset clears away dead skin cells, built-up skin oil and cosmetic residues making your scalp skin healthy again and in the perfect condition for new hair growth.

SEEING A LOT OF HAIR REGROWTH

My story: about 8 months ago I’d rate my hair about 7/10. Starting to thin, hairline receding, but not too terrible. I had been on rogaine 5% / Revita for 2 years prior to that, but did not notice any gains. In fact I think it either made it worse or did nothing at all. So my doctor agreed to put me on 1mg of Propecia. After 1 month of propecia my hair continued to thin even more. I freaked out, buzzed my hair, and was content for the next few months. Around month 6 my hair was looking about 3.5/10. Extremely thinning on top, noticeable areas of scalp, and practically no hair line whatsoever. I think it went down hill at month 6 for about 4 weeks straight. I became extremely depressed, and didn’t even want to leave my bedroom. So I shaved my head all the way down (not to the skin, but close). I hated the way I looked, even though I consider myself to be very good looking. The bald look was not for me though. But did I have a choice? I would say I lost 30-40% of my hair on the scalp during month 6. It was extremely dramatic, at least for me.

Around month 7 I decided to take things to the extreme. I bought […information available to members only].

Around a week after the […information available to members only…] I started to actually see small baby hairs. I was in disbelief at first, but as days went on it continued to look better[…] […]It’s now been about 2.5 weeks since the hair started to grow. My normal hair-length is about an inch long. I decided to grow it back after hating the bald look. Miraculously the baby hairs are thickening, becoming longer, and I continue to see new hair daily, as well as less scalp. Just rubbing my hand through my hair I can feel 2 layers of hair, the normal hair, and a layer of short prickly stubble coming in. Feels like a beard is growing underneath my normal hair, I guess is the best way to describe it. Even on my 2 cowlicks at the top of my head are finally filling in. I would touch that area daily and feel bare skin at the center, but no longer. The noticeable areas of scalp are disappearing, and even my receding hairline is starting to fill in. One side more than the other, however. I’ve never felt so hopeful and lucky to be seeing this growth after 6 months of absolute hell.

REDUCE STRESS AND ANXIETY

FREE WITH THE EBOOK

With the eBook you’ll receivefree audio downloads, which you can play while you sleep or during the day to train your mind to become completely calm and relaxed in any situation.

58% of people who suffer hair losssay they are frequently nervous or frequently very nervous.

*results taken from 2014/2015 poll conducted on nicehair.org

The significance of stress and anxiety on hair loss is underestimated in my opinion. To put it simply, if you breath naturally and calmly and your muscles are loose and relaxed, your body will work efficiently and you’ll be at your optimal health.

Conversely, if you’re shoulders are often very tense and you are noticeably regularly stressed it will have a huge impact on your hair, your skin and your health in general.

I used to suffer from generalised anxiety disorder, which is like an extreme form of irrational stress, where you feel nervous and stressed in situations where most people feel totally calm. It had such a big impact on my life that I tried just about every possible treatment, from medication to hypnotherapy.

In the end I found the best possible solution and the results amazed me.

The solution I found is so remarkable and so effective, I’ve dedicated a chapter of the eBook to it and created audio mind training files that anyone can use to become calm, relaxed and confident in any situation.

Let’s see what else you’ll learn.

THE EXACT FOODS TO EAT TO MAXIMISE HAIR GROWTH, IMPROVE HEALTH AND SLOW DOWN AGEING

A chapter of the eBook is dedicated to nutrition. It’s not a diet. Instead of writing a rigid dietary schedule I’ve researched exactly which foods contain the ingredients that are needed to:

1. Support hair and skin health
2. Support healthy hormonal balance
3. Improve overall health, energy and vitality

I’ve researched papers released by scientists who have studied the effects of increasing the consumption of specific nutrients, including biotin, iron and vitamin C.

Having studied the foods needed to support healthy hair growth and improve skin health (as well as many other benefits), I’ve simply listed the foods that are highest in the nutrients you need to achieve these goals and I’ve provided practical advice on how you can easily get more of these nutrients into your diet. I’ve also explained when is best to eat them to maximize the benefit to your hair.

RESULTS

The hair regrowth has become a sideshow for my overall improvement in health. My skin, hair and nails are ridiculously healthy – it’s no cliché to say my hair shines, my skin glows and my nails grow quicker than I can cut them.

I will focus on the results of my hair because I understand that’s what you all want to know!

Firstly, my temples have grown back to the point where I have 1 cm recession on the left side and around 1.5 cm recession on the right – it’s strange, my right side was noticeably more recessed than the other side. It also receded in a peculiar shape – instead of a V, my hair on the right curved, sort of like \( if that makes any sense. I also have lots of light coloured hair extending down to my juvenile hair line, which makes me optimistic that my hair regrowth hasn’t finished yet.

Secondly, my crown was also beginning to thin, to the point where my hair whorl was more like a small bald spot. This has got much thicker and the whorl has a defined shape.

In general, the individual hairs are thicker and stronger (they used to curve, but now the majority of hairs are straight). My hair is darker on the top of my head, so as there is no difference in colour with the hair on the side and back of my head – I had noticed my hair on top was slightly lighter and looked drier before I started this regime.

As an additional bonus, my skin now tans well – due to increased melanin production triggered from food I eat. Muscle mass and tone has improved dramatically after following the nutrition and exercise plan. My belly has completely gone!

This has all happened within a year, and if I’m being honest, I slacked off a bit towards the end few months of last year. Thus, I think it’s around 9 months of around 70% dedication. I quit smoking just over 6 months ago, and since then I’ve tried to give 90% effort.

It’s crazy that I now have more hair than I did 1 year ago, when conventional wisdom dictates that hair loss is a progression and reversal is only an option if you sign a contract with Mr PharmaC. I’m in the best shape of my life because of the inspiration from Chris’ book.

So, I’d like to say a big thanks to Chris – a genuine big thanks.

And to the rest of you, I would say good luck but I’ve realised we create our own luck in this world. All you need is willpower and the discipline to manifest that willpower into action. We’ve all made it this far because we’ve made the decision to challenge our hair loss and had the determination to act on that decision – all the best.

How To Remove DHT From Your Scalp Naturally

On this page I will explain exactly what to do to prepare the scalp so that new hairs can actually start growing again, and existing hairs will become stronger. Without the scalp preparation it’s much harder for new hairs to grow because where the hair follicle exits, the skin has become blocked, clogged, and the pH is generally very unfavourable for new hair growth. I will explain how to reactivate the hair growth process using a little known technique that initiates the growth phase of the hair follicle. And finally I will show you how to stimulate the scalp and emerging hair follicles in such a way that they continue to grow, faster and stronger.

I highly recommend reading some of the other articles on the blog such as the detox post. If you don’t then this technique won’t work nearly as well (although you would probably still get some good results, it’s much more powerful when combined with the other techniques). This method just speeds up the results. All in all if you carry this out it will probably halve the time for visible results.

Preparing The Scalp

Preparing the scalp means cleaning it, removing both the natural and unnatural substances that have built up there, which are both the cause and effect of hair loss. Without the cleaning process, new hairs are less likely to appear because they literally have to push and squeeze their way out of the epidermis, and this makes it less likely to happen. It’s like a plant that has to grow through a thick layer of gravel that’s dry and acidic, even if there is fertile ground beneath, it has a much harder task. Our aim is to make it as easy as possible for new hair growth to occur.

So what should be cleaned from the epidermis to allow hair growth? Well there are 4 things we have to remove first. These are;

1. Embedded sebum
2. Dead skin
3. Cosmetic products
4. Pollutants

These 4 substances will become mixed together and form what’s called epidermis plaque that clings to the scalp and prevents hair growth and causes miniaturization of existing hair follicles. The plaque also contains DHT that’s secreted through the epidermis creating a perpetually inhospitable environment for hair growth.

So how do we remove the plaque?

By far the most effective way to remove the epidermis plaque is to use a salicylic acid peel. This is a mild acid that is applied to the scalp where it gently cleans and removes the plaque. Salicylic acid was originally used to exfoliate the skin to make it younger.

It’s safe to use this mild acid on the scalp because the hair follicle roots grows from much deeper in the scalp then the acid reaches so it won’t cause hair loss in any way.

Begin by purchasing a bottle of 10% salicylic acid. This is easy to find online because it’s a popular skin exfoliation and peeling product. At the same time purchase some cold-pressed extra virgin coconut oil. We’ll be using this to protect the hair strands from the alcohol in the salicylic acid product which can sometimes cause drying. It’s usually not a problem at all, but just in case.

The Procedure

Wash and dry your hair. Now apply the coconut oil to your hair by massaging it in. Try to minimize the amount covering your scalp because we want the salicylic acid to get in there and do its job. Leave the coconut oil on about half an hour. Now it’s time to apply the salicylic acid using a pipette. Part your hair and gently touch the pipette to the scalp so a small drop comes out and spreads across the scalp. You’ll want to do about 40 of these across the front of your scalp where the hair loss is the greatest. Don’t worry if some goes on your hair, it won’t damage it.

If you feel a painful stinging sensation at any time, immediately wash your scalp under warm water. If not allow the acid to clean the scalp for a minute or two. If you feel a mild stinging sensation then wait 30 seconds then begin to wash your head under warm water. If you don’t feel any stinging at all, wait ten minutes then wash it off under warm water.

A note on salicylic acid for hair

15% Salicylic acid

Before you use salicylic acid it’s recommended to do a skin test to make sure you’re not allergic to it. This involves applying a small amount of the solution to a visible piece of skin. Try somewhere that you find sensitive, because if there’s no reaction here, you’ll scalp will be absolutely fine. Leave the solution on the skin until it starts to sting (it should be a mild stinging, not painful, if it is painful your skin may be too sensitive or the solution is too strong), when it starts stinging, wash if off with plenty of water. After 10 minutes if there is no stinging whatsoever, wash it off anyway. Observe your skin for the next week or so, and if you have no adverse reactions then you’re good to go.

After you’ve carried this out, observe your scalp under a bright light for a week. You might observe skin peeling and flaking off, this is a good sign and shows the peel has done its job. If there is no peeling and there still appears to be plaque on the scalp (which often looks shiny) another peel is probably in order. It varies from person to person but there’s a good chance you will need another few peels to fully remove the plaque. Repeat the procedure until you feel like the plaque has been removed. You can aid the process by brushing away the flakes that fall off with a hair brush, which also helps de-clog the pores.

You might find that the plaque builds up quickly again, this is because of the overproduction of the sebum which debilitates hair growth. I would recommend checking out the post on detox for reversing hair loss and also our hair loss course which will help in preventing sebum production and generally give your new hair the best chance of survival by showing you how to reduce the production of DHT whilst super-charging your blood with hair growing nutrients and hormones. If you haven’t read that yet you can take what’s called co-enzyme A. This enzyme helps breakdown fats (what the sebum is made from) so instead of circulating around the bloodstream and leaching through the sweat glands, they are broken down and disposed of more efficiently. (This is also the most effective way to cure acne)

Ok that’s the procedure for preparing the scalp for new hair growth. Let’s summarize it quickly

1. Test the silacylic acid on your skin
2. Monitor the results to make sure no adverse reactions occur
3. Wash and dry hair, apply coconut oil to hair strands
4. Apply silacylic acid to scalp using pipette
5. Rinse with warm water after ten minutes, or 30 seconds after mild stinging sensation. Rinse immediately if painful

Reactivating and Stimulating The Scalp

In this section we’ll use a ‘double pronged approach’ to first activate and then stimulate hair growth. We initially need to activate the hair follicles and epidermis from their dormant state, wake them up and send a signal to your body that says ‘hey it’s beneficial to use our resources to grow hair right now’.

We need to put them into a state of activity by telling the body to send all the building blocks for hair growth such as the nutrients, minerals and hormones that have been carefully cultivated and optimized in the previous sections. Without activating the scalp, much of our hard work will go into repairing and building other parts of the body that are in need. (This definitely isn’t a bad thing at all, but for our purposes we can ‘trick’ our bodies to send its supplies into the scalp for new hair growth). Find out about the best laser combs for hair growth here.

For this we’ll need a dermaroller. This is a device like a rolling pin, except that this one is covered in hundreds of tiny needles about 0.5mm long. The dermaroller is rolled across the scalp it produces thousands of tiny pricks in the epidermis. The pricks aren’t deep enough to do any long term damage, they’re just deep enough to wake up the cells in that area so they can send their resources. This helps increase cell production and circulation to the epidermis.

A note on the dermaroller

This device is actually meant to be used to promote younger skin and heal acne wounds, stretch marks and scars. The roller pricks stimulate the new growth of collagen and elastin fibres, as well as new melanozytes, and re-vascularization. The tiny wounds heal in less than an hour, but the cells remain stimulated. In a way it’s similar to pruning a bush, or cutting the grass. Where the cut was made, growth hormones flood to, and fresh vegetation growth can be found soon after. It’s important to clean the roller each time you use it to prevent any chance of infection. You can do this by washing in boiling hot water, or a mild antibacterial solution before use.

How to us the dermaroller to activate hair growth

Lightly roll the dermaroller over the parts of your scalp suffering from hair loss. Apply just enough pressure that the tiny needles penetrate the skin. You might feel a tingling sensation but it shouldn’t hurt. Go over the effected parts of your scalp 4 times each at a different angle each time. After you’ve done this, you can now apply the special hair growth elixir. You should apply the dermaroller and elixir every other day to start with. Once your scalp has got use to it, you can do it every day, or however often you feel it will be beneficial and convenient to you. Once a day after a few weeks seems to work well. Do it before bed, this gives the maximum time to heal without interruption.

The Hair Growth Elixir

The next step is to apply a special topical elixir to the scalp. This mixture has been specifically formulated to stimulate as much growth as possible whilst suppressing the production of DHT. I’m not talking about minoxidil either, this is much cheaper and much more effective. This formula came about through a series of trial and error with myself and other men suffering from androgenic alopecia (hair loss) over a number of years, and a lot of research, so please make the most of it.

Component 1: Hyaluronic Acid

Hyaluronic acid is a useful acid that’s produced naturally in our bodies; its main purpose is to assist in the transportation of nutrients to cells and the removal of waste. For re-growing hair this is useful, however it also provides a good base component because it’s cheap, has no color, no smell and doesn’t produce reactions from the skin.

Component 2: Emu Oil

Emu oil is useful oil in general, but for our purposes it’s the absolutely perfect ingredient. Firstly it’s almost entirely triglyceride in nature. This means it can very easily penetrate into the skin to deliver all its beneficial qualities. It also means it doesn’t tend to clog or block the scalp at all, preventing bacterial growth and allowing circulation. Secondly emu oil is a DHT inhibitor when applied topically. It’s a very rich source of vitamins and minerals which will feed the hair growth. And lastly emu oil is known to have anti-inflammatory properties and bacteriostatic properties, meaning pores don’t become inflamed and instead they will dilate, whilst preventing bacterial growth. Mix the hyaluronic acid and emu oil together in a 1:1 ratio.

We’re now going to add one of the most powerful natural DHT inhibitors to the mixture. The beauty of this method is that unlike oral or normal topical solutions, when we mix this with the hyaluronic acid and emu oil it gets right into the scalp, where it is most important to penetrate to stop DHT. Oral methods will help a little but they aren’t as effective because they’re diluted throughout the entire body and DHT can still reside in the scalp. Normal topical solutions aren’t much better because the solution just sits on top of the scalp, it doesn’t penetrate and is washed away easily, and so it doesn’t work as effectively.

Component 3: Saw Palmetto

Soft gel saw palmetto is best, simply pierce the gel capsule and squeeze the oil into the original mixture of hyaluronic acid and emu oil. The ratio should be roughly 1 part saw palmetto: 7 parts hyaluronic acid and emu oil. Sometimes the soft gels come with extra DHT inhibiting ingredients such as pygeum or pumpkin seed. This is not a problem and will likely be beneficial for your hair so don’t be afraid to use those ones.

There’s one final component to add to our mixture. The primary purpose of this one is to stimulate circulation in the scalp, much like the expensive topical solution Minoxidil. However a Japanese double blind study actually found that this component was twice as effective at promoting hair growth as minoxidil. In fact, when mixed with our solution it works even better because the hyaluronic acid and emu oil allow it to penetrate deeper into the scalp where it is most beneficial.

The final component is apple polyphenol. This can be bought inexpensively online or at a health shop. Break the capsule into our mixture in a ratio of approximately 1 part polyphenol: 7 parts mixture. Vigorously shake the mixture in your application bottle to make sure all the components are nicely mixed. Not only does apple polyphenol stimulate blood circulation directly to the scalp but it helps neutralize free radicals. The ‘elixir’ is now ready to be applied to the scalp. After you’ve rolled the dermaroller 4 x over each part of the scalp apply the elixir in small blobs and massage in.

If the scalp feels mildly uncomfortable over the next 24 hours that’s ok, each time you repeat the process the uncomfortable feeling will get less. If you feel strong discomfort, wash the mixture away with warm water. Wait 24 hours and look out for any signs of reaction. (This has never happened to anyone I know, but just in case)

You have to persevere with this method to get the most out of it. If you do it half-heartedly and irregularly then the results will probably not be satisfactory. However, if you carry it out as instructed, along with the other steps, in my experience, there is no hair treatment (aside from a direct hair transplant) that gets as good results.

If you are using Minoxidil then substitute this mixture for it. The side effects of minoxidil will go away, and only natural ingredients will reach the scalp. It’s also much less expensive.

8 Gym Myths Busted: Because Regular Running Won’t Help You Lose Weight

Gyms can be a pretty intimidating place - especially now we’re all chanting “strong is the new skinny” and wandering around with hand weights, squatting under heavy dumbells and swinging around the medicine balls.

Can’t we just all go back to a light jog on the treadmill and call it a day?

Well no, actually we can’t. And here are 8 gym myths that you need to ditch immediately.

You Can Only Get “Fit” While You’re Young

The idea that gym memberships come with an age limit is far from the truth. If you hated the idea of exercising when you were younger, but would love to join the gym now, what’s stopping you? It’s never too late to get into shape.

According to research published in the Archives of Internal Medicine, “among the very old, not only continuing but also initiating physical activity is associated with better survival and function.”

So, don’t let your age stop you from hitting the gym. Just be cautious about how you approach your new gym regime. Consider lower impact activities to protect delicate joints. Swimming is one of the best ways to exercise after a certain age threshold as you can push yourself as hard as you like without having to worry about stressing your bones.

Running Regularly Will Make You Fit

Nope.

Sadly, regular running - as popular as it is - might be having much less of an effect on your body than you think it is.

If you complete the same sort of run, for the same sort of length of time, regularly, you aren’t challenging your body. You may be maintaining your overall fitness level, but you’ll be unlikely to improve upon it.

Our bodies cleverly grow accustomed to the same, regular sort of exertion, using less and less fuel to complete the same exercise each time, to conserve energy and save strength. While this might have been great for the hunter gatherers or anyone on a wilderness trek, for those of us wanting to shape up, get fitter or lose weight, it’s not such a cool feature.

The only way to cheat it, is to change up your work out regularly, to shock your body into trying new things and using new muscle groups and to exert itself in different ways.

Sadly this also means you can’t be so smug about your morning cycle to work - if you’re doing the same distance by the same method day in, day out - the health benefits for your body will be limited.

Exercise Helps You Lose Weight, Fast

One of the main reasons why gym-goers fall at the first hurdle and give up a month after shelling out for membership, is that they expect their new exercise regime will be they key to rapid, obvious weight loss.

It won’t.

Firstly, it takes more than four weeks of the right kind of regular work outs to see any of the effects.

Secondly, you need to be doing the right sort of exercise for your fitness and health goals. For example, if you want to improve your overall endurance and stamina, then you need to be completing several session of long distance cardio a week and they need to be pushing you further or harder in regular stages.

If you’re looking for toning, definition, and lean muscle gain, you need to be doing dynamic free weights activities - lifting the right sort of weights and perhaps adding in some plyometric movements to keep your heart rate up and to help strip out the fat.

However, if weight loss is your goal, long stints of cardio aren’t likely to help you achieve the results you want particularly quickly. You’d be better off completing some shorter high intensity cardio sessions, such as HIIT (high intensity interval training), doing some circuits with a variety of different exercises and learning to use the free weights with the help of an instructor.

Thirdly, and perhaps most importantly: ever heard of the phrase “abs are made in the kitchen?”

It’s true. Exercise can make you fitter, stronger and generally healthier, but it won’t guarantee weight loss. If you compensate for all your new exercise with larger portions, you’re unlikely to notice the pounds falling away.

Only the right kind of diet can guarantee success for your weight loss goals.
You Need To Work Up A Sweat

There’s a common misconception that the more you sweat, the better the work out – this absolutely isn’t true.

According to director of Baylor Tom Landry Health & Wellness Center in Dallas Phil Tyne, “sweating is not necessarily an indicator of exertion… it’s your body’s way of cooling itself.” He agrees, it’s totally possible for you to shed the pounds without breaking a sweat. Cool down with a gentle jog on the treadmill, light weight training or a slow paced bike ride. 

No Pain, No Gain

Whilst it’s important to push yourself at the gym and improve your endurance / stamina, there’s no need for it to hurt. To begin with, it’s normal to feel a little discomfort the following day and, in fact, you should definitely feel some tension in the muscle groups you’ve put pressure on, two days after you worked them out. This is called DOMS - delayed onset muscle tension.

You shouldn’t be hurting yourself. 

But pain is out of the question. This likely means you’ve pulled or snapped something - possibly from over-exertion, but usually due to bad technique.

Do not go near the free weights area until you’ve had a personal trainer walk you through correct technique and the right weights for your body and your level of progress.

Or you could be doing way more harm than good.

That being said - the opposite is also true. There are plenty of people who use weights that are too light for them, congratulating themselves for using weights at all. Quite honestly, you’re probably doing about as much good as sitting on the sofa with a movie.

Your weight use should increase in increments, to ensure that your body is exerting itself.

Every Day’s A Gym Day

It’s great that you’re getting into the habit of regular exercise, but you can have too much of a good thing, especially if the same muscle groups are in play.

Rest days are just as crucial to getting into shape as hitting the gym. Celebrity fitness trainer Ashley Borden explains, “your body needs to recover, especially after a tough session.“ Too much gym-time can be dangerous, so remember to schedule regular breaks during the week.

Some Exercise Is Better Than None

Ok, so there is some truth to the saying ‘some is better than none.’ If you’re a stranger to exercise then “any little increment of physical activity is going to be a great boost to weight loss and feeling better,” says Rita Redberg of the American Heart Association’s Scientific Advisory Board.

However, if you want the best possible results from your gym efforts, random workouts need to stop – it’s all about consistency. Stop giving yourself a pat on the back every time you walk up a flight of stairs.

Instead, plan a workout schedule, that pushes your body to just the right degree, incorporates those vital rest days, makes use of the right weights at the right frequencies and stick to it.

Speak to a trainer, and work with them on a plan that will help you reach your goals. Step outside your comfort zone and choose exercises that are certain to get you into shape, like bench press, squats and overhead lifts. 

If You’re Hitting The Gym You Can Eat What You Want

We’ve said it before, but it bears reiterating. Regular gym workouts don’t provide a free pass to eating whatever you want. If you’re trying to flatten your tummy or sculpt those thighs, you need to fuel your yourself with foods that help the body reach its potential; high-energy, filler-foods like oats and bananas.

Match great exercise with a poor nutrition, and your fitness goals will grow even further out of reach. It’s simple: combine a well-balanced diet with 30 minutes of exercise 5 times a week, and you’re on the right track.

And yes, again, you can have too much of a good thing. Eating too much - even if it’s too much kale and almond butter - will prevent you from losing weight and seeing your abs.

Starvation is, of course, not the key to health and over-limiting can also have adverse effects, but your portion sizes need to be appropriate for your fitness and weight loss goals.
