What
is your take on stress reduction?
................................................................................
 Michael Collins: One of the best
ways to reduce stress is to start a
fitness-training program.
Many diseases and illnesses are the direct result of stress, and
exercise helps to counter the negative effects that stress has on our
mind and body.
Even a light workout or a walk in the park can be beneficial for stress
reduction. By increasing the intensity of the exercise our body
begins to release endorphins, which makes us feel happier and this
counters the effects of stress.
As our levels of fitness increase we are able to handle more stress both
in body and mind, as being physically fit also leads to a more positive
outlook on life and less problems are likely to influence this outlook.
We become more alert as we get fitter and tasks that might have been
difficult become easier to achieve. This ability to perform more
in a day with less effort has a dramatic effect on our stress levels.
In addition to this, when we
exercise outdoors we get the benefits of
fresh air, which is something that many people don't get enough of in
the air conditioned environments that we have become accustomed to.
The more we exercise the less we are inclined to suffer from the
negative effects of stress and this reduction in stress allows us to
exercise more easily as our energy levels rise. It becomes an ever
increasing positive circle of less stress and more fitness.
People often get into a 'rut' where they feel they don't have the time
to exercise as they have too much to do, when in fact if they took the
time to exercise they would have more energy and better health that
would allow them to do more in the course of the day.
They would find they could be more
productive and do so in a more relaxed manner.

What do you think of that diet where you eat certain foods based on your blood
type?
I’ve always been told to get a six- pack you need to do a lot of abs
work with high reps. Would you agree?
Do I need supplements to lose weight?
Is it possible to lose weight and gain muscle at the same time?
I’ve got fat located in
the area of my body where my arm meets my shoulder, and I can’t get rid
of it. Are there any exercises in particular that would help improve
that? Or what about any spot reducing supplements?
I know I should be having
some protein and carbs after a weights workout, but what about after
cardio? I've heard that you should wait 2 hours before eating.
You mentioned the benefits of scheduling a "cheat meal" into your eating
program at least once per week. Is there a best time to eat a cheat
meal?
Should I be counting my grams of fat, sugar, and calories?
What can I do to flatten my lower abs? I've been
doing crunches and hanging leg raises for the last year, but nothing
seems to help.
