HOF Health Tips

  • Test yourself often. Every 4 weeks, measure a variable. Whether it's waist size, body fat, bench press/squat—that equates to your end goal. It will show you the tangible results of your training.
  • Keep your weight workouts under an hour. After 60 minutes, your body starts producing more of the stress hormone cortisol, which can have a testosterone-blocking, muscle-wasting effect.
  • To see if you're overtraining, check your pulse first thing in the morning the day after a workout. If it's 10 beats per minute or more above normal, your body is still recovering.
  • If you're not exercising at all, just try to fit in two 20-minute aerobic or weight-training sessions a week. All it takes is a little effort to make big gains.
  • Do squats and deadlifts . . . to build your abs. Research shows that these two exercises force your abdominal muscles to do a significant amount of work to maintain your posture.
  • Don't try to lose your gut by working your abs. Researchers at the University of Virginia found that it takes 250,000 crunches to burn 1 pound of fat—that's 100 crunches a day for 7 years.
  • If you don't like an exercise, start doing it. "You're probably avoiding it because you're weak at it,"
  • Lift weights to run faster. A study in the Journal of Applied Physiology found that 8 weeks of resistance training improved experienced runners' 5K times by 30 seconds.
  • Protein is more satisfying than carbohydrates or fats, and thus may be the new secret weapon in weight control.
  • Having ready-to-eat snacks and meals-in-minutes staples (not high sodium meals) on hand sets you up for success. You'll be less likely to hit the drive-through or call in a pizza order if you can make a healthy meal in 5 or 10 minutes.
