You need to change the way you eat. You can do all the crunches in the world, but until you get control of your nutrition you will never see the rock hard abs you are working out in the gym. You need to reduce your body fat by controlling your calorie intake and building lean muscle with resistance training. Once you lower your body fat percentage then you will start to see your abs and feel good about taking off your shirt or wearing a bikini at the beach.
Most people are not willing to change their eating habits, and that is why they never get six pack abs. It takes a lot of discipline and clean eating to see results in the midsection. The abs are usually the last area to lose fat in on the body.
But if you build muscle all around the body, then you will reduce your overall body fat and start to see the abs you have always wanted.
Give me a call and I would be happy to teach you some exercises and nutrition habits that will help you show off those abs hiding under your belly :)
Take care

Honestly you are better off if he initiates the action. If he asks you out then go ahead and accept his offer to spend time together. And take it from there. But in the meantime smile and talk with him a lot, and you can flirt when you are together. By paying him attention that may stimulate in him the desire to ask you out. But if you ask him out, your are giving him too much power. I know some women like to ask out men these days.
But honestly if a man desires a woman, nothing will keep him away. And if a man does not desire a woman, nothing will make him like you in that way.
And if he doesnt have the courage to ask you out, then he is not the right man for you, at least not at this moment, maybe he will mature and become that man evntually but right now he is not ready for you.
Just pray for him, and maybe god will instill that desire in him.

how do I sprint faster
How do i sprint faster?
Yeah....How do i sprint faster and how do i get my thighs and calves more toned/muscular without use of weights?
My Best Answer - Chosen by Asker
well if you want to get faster you should lift weights, take a look at the sprinters in the olympics they are all very muscular even in their upper body and arms
you can do intervals, sprint for 30 seconds, jog or walk for 30 seconds then sprint again, keep repeating this, until you sprint for longer then you jog or walk
also you can buy a parachute that you attach to your body when you sprint so you will run against the air current
also you can push a heavy cart, like a golf cart full of weights, so you can drive into it with your legs,
some people attach a rope around them while somebody heavy holds on to it from behind you while you run and pull them with you
you need to build power, so look up plyometric exercises to build up your power moves
sprinters are strong and explosive
you also need to increase your stride length and you foot speed
you need faster steps and longer strides, to gain speed
finally you can buy a weighted vest and run with it on your body, this will also build strength, when you take it off you will be much faster then you are with it on, and you can always add more weights to the vest as you get stronger, get one that you can adjust the weight of the vest very easily
do this with the intervals this will help you
good luck

what is a good diet for fitness
Fitness diet?
Hi,
I am pretty clueless when it comes to my diet, but do make an effort to eat well. For the winter, I want to bulk up a little bit, and improve my strength. i dont want to start taking any protein shakes or anything like that, so I was wondering if anybody could advise me what foods I should eat more of to increase energy levels, and promote muscle growth, and also which foods I need to avoid and why?
Thanks!
------------------------------
My Answer
you need to eat more to gain size and strength, also start lifting weights at least 3 times a week. Protein powder and protein bars are the easiest way to increase protein intake everyday. I make smoothies out of protein powder by adding it to frozen fruit, ice, milk, water and blend it in a magic bullet blender.I am pretty clueless when it comes to my diet, but do make an effort to eat well.

My Answer
Otherwise you will need to eat more meat, beans and rice, tofu, soy instead of the protein powder. Also eggs and milk are good sources of protein.
you need to eat more calories then you burn to gain size, you need to figure out how many calories you burn each day , then eat an additional 400 calories per day. If you eat this much and do not workout you will get fat. But if you are lifting weights every week then you will build muscle.
If you want to increase energy levels, just eat more carbs, preferably fruits and vegetables, and add some caffeine like green tea and coffee. And you need to eat more often, eat every 3 to 4 hours, 3 medium meals, and 2 to 3 snacks. When I say snacks I mean a piece of fruit, a bag of nuts, yogurt, protein bar, protein shake, smoothie with protein, granola bar, cheese, something healthy, not cookies or ice cream.
you need to eat every 3 to 4 hours to keep burning calories all day and process all of your food, if you go long periods without eating then your body will store your food as fat instead of burning it as fuel.
good luck, hire a trainer to teach you how to exercise, and eat properly
you can measure how many calories you burn with the bodybugg by apex, you can wear it on your arm and learn how much you burn and then decide how much to eat and still gain or lose weight if that is your goal.
how to pack your cooler for lunch
If you want to eat healthy I recommend bringing a cooler of healthy foods to work everyday instead of eating out.
Instead of going to the vending machine when you are hungry you can just open up your cooler and pull out something you like to eat that is better for you.
some tips
1. boiling a dozen eggs takes the same time as boiing one. Just do them all at the same time, you can keep the extra in the fridge for later. I normally just eat the egg whites, but if your cholesterol levels are low go ahead and eat the whole thing.
2. but a family size pack of chicken breast and cook the whole thing at once. It gives you one meal immediately and extra food for later or the next day
3. look for a large turkey breast, so you can make two days worth of meals out of it when you roast it
4. pack easily portable foods like fruit, nuts, yogurt, protein bars, veggies
5. keep a jar of natural nut butter in your cooler, for a quick snack, you can eat it with a green apple at the same time, or with celery if you pack those with it
6. keep a premeasured amount of whey protein in your cooler to mix with water for a quick smoothie, when you need a fast meal
7. use whole grain wraps, instead of white breads, or whole wheat bread, you can buy wheat tortillas and wheat bread to hold your foods and have some fiber from your carbs
8. low fat dairy like cottage cheese, or yogurt. you can also mix fresh berries into these for some flavor
9. fresh veggies are always great to eat with your meats, like a spring mix, or other raw veggies
10. and tons of cold water, so you can stay hydrated
11. keep a bag of nuts in your cooler, easy protein and healthy fats in almost all nuts, try to get unsalted nuts though
You can pack all your food the night before, once you get used to bringing a cooler you will save money, cause you stop buying potato chips and candy bars and soda, and your waistline will be in better shape too, good luck
eat something every 3 to 4 hours, so your body continues to burn off all your food as fuel instead of going into starvation mode and storing it all as fat...

love is not love until you give it away
"A bell is not a bell until you ring it.
A song is not a song until you sing it.
Love in your heart is not put there to stay.
Love is not love until you give it away."
I am reading a book by john hagee and diana hagee. It is actually two books by both people. One called what every woman wants in a man, and the other by john called what every man wants in a woman.
It is a nice book with a lot of wisdom in it. If you are in a relationship or want to be in a relationship I would highly recommend this book. It may give you some tips on how to be in a loving relationship that is christ centered.
this quote really touched me, because it is true we have the capacity to love and be loved, but only if we are willing to give that love away to someone else. Just like the song has the power to touch our memories and emotions once it is sung by someone to your open ears.

love is the answer
LOVE IS THE ANSWER
I do not need to shine or be glorified at all times. In fact I enjoy being in a support role for my family and friends, and allow them the chance to shine and be honored. And if I can help them or assist them or lead them, then in a way I too am glorified in helping them shine. But I do not help them to gain glory, I help them because I love them.
As an older brother I have learned to give up things I wanted to allow my siblings to have what they need. In fact I love to sacrifice my time and talent to help someone I love. And I have learned that when i empy myself, god will fill me up with gifts and even more talents.
For god returns my sacrifice with the gift of love and friendship. How better to create a friend then to offer up your time and talent to them. If you give enough to your titheing that it hurts. I mean have you ever gone to mass and had to choose between titheing and buying something to eat. That is when you know you are giving till it hurts. I mean sometimes you just need to feel hurt to know that you have really offered a true sacrifice.
In my experience whenever you offer a sacrifice to god, god will find a way to honor you and bless you. Try it, offer up your greatest sins, try to abstain for a week or a month or even one day, and see if you feel better or if you obtain a new outlook on life. You just might be surprised at what god will bring into your life when you put your selfish greed to the side and offer up your life to jesus.
for love is the answer
love is patient, love is kind.....
you only truly are in love, when you love that person more than yourself....can you love jesus more than you love yourself? I believe you can. Will it be difficult, of course it will be. But would you prefer to suffer now, or after you die and find yourself outside of god's kingdom for eternity...
what are you sending to heaven from earth from your goodworks, will determine what kind of house you have in heaven. You are building your life in eternity with the good prayers and offerings you give while you are on earth. Prepare a beautiful home for yourself, by loving god now while you are alive, so that he may love you forever when you die.
amen
"A sacrifice to be real must cost, must hurt, must empty ourselves..."
- Mother Teresa
I found this quote in mary grace hermano's blog on www.jmotive.com
Love truly is the answer to all things. If we sacrifice our own needs, posessions, talents and desires for someone else, then we do these things out of love. Why else would I put my desires or needs to the side, unless I cared more for someone else then I did myself.I do not need to shine or be glorified at all times. In fact I enjoy being in a support role for my family and friends, and allow them the chance to shine and be honored. And if I can help them or assist them or lead them, then in a way I too am glorified in helping them shine. But I do not help them to gain glory, I help them because I love them.
