Lower Back Pain:-How To Deal With It

Lower back problem is becoming common in gyms...but have you ever heard of a swimmer,basket ball pla-
  -yer complaining about this problem of lower back pain..almost none but when it comes to the gym,you can
    find 6 people out of 10  who are dealing with this problem.Why is it so common in the gyms..?and what is
    the root cause of this problem..?So unless you are not having any serious injuries you can overcome this      
    problem within few weeks..but consult your physician before following any workout routine.
Here are few tips you can use to make your lower back good..:-
1.No.1 problem is our posture...and that's why it is so common in the gyms,because in each and every exer
    -cise you do in a gym e.g:-squats,bench-press,barbell curls..etc.your posture should be correct otherwise
      instead of getting good results you will surely get a problem like lower back pain,tissue rupture,neck
      pain...and i don't want to scare you or else this list goes on and on.
2.Ask your trainer to check your posture during your workout....if he/she has time or they know the correct
    posture themselves....because on you tube also you can find people teaching exercises with incorrect
    form.
3.Avoid crunches,sit-ups,side bending or twisting...believe me these things are good for nothing unless you
    have a lo body fat %age....on the other side they are the culprits who is killing your lower back.
4.Avoid bending forward while doing any kind of exercise or work...use your legs instead of your back.
5.Sit straight with shoulders back side down...and walk for few minutes if you have a sitting job...if they
    do not allow you to do so...leave the job .........................just kidding.
6.Do some strength training for lower back every day.glute-ham is the best exercise you can do for strength
    -ening of your lower back.
7.You can also have lower back problem if your core muscles are week..so do some planks or side bridges
    as they are the safest exercises and also effective for your abs .Remember,instead of doing crunches and
     killing your back do planks for abs and save your back...i mean lower back..

Alcohol And Weight-Loss

BOOZING.......is the word everyone likes,especially me..and i love drinking but only on weekends.Most of
  the people relate their weight gain to alcohol..yes one can gain weight if he/she drinks..but that's half of the 
  truth, i have been drinking for past few days(2 weeks)without break..and i have gained 2kgs....well that 
  sounds terrible but i don't care...because i know that it's all water weight which i have been drinking to over-
 come hangovers...now some of you must be thinking that one gets dehydrate after drinking but i am saying i
  have water retention...well thats true that too much alcohol can cause you dehydration..but thats in the case of
  TOO MUCH alcohol...now that too-much varies from person to person.It all depends upon their capacity of
  tolerating alcohol..for example i am not going to get any hangover or dehydration if will take 3 -4 60ml drinks.
  Again i am not saying that drinks are good for your health...or you should start drinking if you are non-alcoho- 
  -lic.Its just an example of how one can lose weight without changing his/her lifestyle.Anyways..lets get back to
  buisness...if you want to enjoy your drinks without gaining weight..you just have to follow few simple steps:-
 1.If you are a daily passenger,then limit your drinks to 2 only...that means if you drink daily so you have to cut
      few of alcohol calories.Remember that moderation is the key and it never let you feel deprived of something

 2.Beware of beer...it is a meal in itself contains lot more calories and works as an appetizer ...once a fortnight
      its ok if looking for weight loss.

 3.Eat less......means that if you know you are going for a party tonight eat less throughout the day to compen- 
      -sate the calories you are going to ingest for party.

 4.Avoid juices,soft drinks,etc..they makes the situation worse..
 5.Drink plenty of water to overcome the problem of dehydration....if you are partying hard..

 6.Eat more protein .....it makes you feel full for a long time....and is less likely to be converted into fat.

 7.Workout.....do some more cardio or add some extra work in your routine.
Try to compensate calories with calories not with your workout....(point-3)..
Well i think that's enough for today on alcohol.....cheers....
