Regular exercise is much more important than the location. If time permits, gym is one great place to get a workout in, mainly due to the availability of a range of equipment's which may not be possible to purchase and keep at home. On the other hand, home workouts help save both time and money. Following are some points distinguishing between Home and Gym workouts. Gym: 1. Most gyms have a vast range of exercise equipment.  2. Training in presence of people can inspire and motivate some. 3. In case of injury or any issue the gym staff or other gym members can help. 4. You are never alone. There is almost always someone available (to spot during heavy lifts, discuss about exercise/diet or just casually chat). 5. Learning a new exercise is easy by watching others perform live in front of you. Home: 1. Saves plenty of time spent travelling to the gym and/or waiting for an equipment to be available. 2. Exercise time can be adjusted on a daily basis. 3. Sa...

Boiling, grilling and steaming are some of the easy ways to prepare it. 4. Whey Protein: Although prepared from a natural source (milk), it still is processed and canno...

For people on a fat loss mission "calorie" is the one word that probably gathers more attention than the fat loss itself. Weather one should calculate their daily calorie intake is a highly individualistic decision. Not all benefit from this and in some cases it may lead one in the opposite direction of their goal, if done wrongly. Some factors which influence the calorie calculations are goals of the individual, their body composition (height,weight,body fat, etc.), exercise type and intensity, metabolism, etc. For example, if an individual wants to gain weight they should eat a little more than their current intake and not less. If an individual thinks she/he is eating enough to feed their body and not getting any results, then they may most likely benefit from calculating their daily calorie requirement. Conversely, if an individual is getting results along with improved health from eating in a specific way, then they may have no need to calculate their calorie intake...
