Women and Fitness Myths
March 22nd, 2009 | Author: admin
In countless cases women want to lose body fat and the last thing they think of is lifting weights or getting into bodybuilding. That’s because their mind set of bodybuilding is this huge muscular looking figure. Truth is, yes you can create a good figure, but getting “too big” is just about impossible.
What happens when a women or man focuses on building and shaping muscles rather than fat loss is the fat or weight loss becomes the byproduct of the bodybuilding and toning. By the way there really is no such thing as toning. You either have muscle growth (hypertrophy) or no growth and toning is simply muscle growth. A so called cut muscle or ripped muscle in many cases shows more with a dehydrated body.
Building muscles has a greater effect on weight loss than cardio workouts. Because gained muscle burns fat (while you sleep). Go into any gym and you will find most people riding the bikes rather than lifting weights.
Help cancer patients by cutting your hair

In order for your hair to be suitable for cancer wigs, it has to be virgin hair – meaning it has not been bleached or permed. However, if it was colored without bleaching, it may still be acceptable. If the hair has been darkened back to its natural hair color, this does not usually hurt the wig making process. Remember that monofilament wigs for cancer patients need to look natural, and hair has to look healthy. Cancer wigs are worn more for functionality than being fashionable.
Human hair is perfect for cancer wigs, allowing patients to look natural even when they undergo chemotherapy. Even monofilament wigs, which allow the natural skin color to show through, can be made from human hair.
