However many just want to have nice muscle tone and an attractive but not too muscular body as they do not want big muscles. So they just lift light weights with high repetitions. Well, it is not going to work. To have nice muscle tone, you will have to build some muscles right? So you will have to lift heavy to force your muscles to grow. Once you are satisfied with the size of your muscles, you will then need to cut your body fats for your muscles to show up well and that means nice muscle tone.</P> <P>You need to have a solid commitment and knowledge to get nice muscle tone and build an attractive muscular body. Here are some muscle building tips. Before you commence weight training, remember to warm up and as well as doing some stretching exercises. </P> <P>•Train Muscle With Free Weights </P> <P>Machines will have its uses, but for a start, concentrate on free weights. That means work almost exclusively with barbells and dumb bells. Free weights recruit many stabilizing muscles for balance and control. That means you will work a lot more muscle parts other than the intended ones. That will give rise to little bumps, striations and definitions all over your body instead of one huge lump of muscle on your intended muscle. Because of the extra stimulant created, your muscles grow faster too. Why else do you think all professional body builders almost exclusively use free weights?</P> <P></P> <P>•Train With Compound Exercises </P> <P>Incorporate as many compound exercises as possible to your routines. Compound exercises are exercises that involve 2 or more joint movements. Because they utilize more joints, which means greater muscle mass are involved. Greater muscle mass means heavier weights. Heavier weights mean encouragement of greater muscle growth. More muscle growth means more tone to your muscles.</P> <P>Some excellent compound exercises are the Squat, Deadlift, Chin ups, Dips, Bench press, Barbell Press, Lunges, Bent-Over Barbell Row...etc.</P> <P>•Train Intensively But Do Not Over train</P> <P>You must train intensively for your muscle to grow. Try to do more reps or add more weight than the previous session or else your muscles will think (actually muscles don't think, they adapt), "Ah... we've done that. Nothing new, so no need to grow bigger and stronger." That being the case, you will wreck your chances of attaining an attractive muscular body.</P> <P>Because of this, it is important that every time you train hard, you give your body time to recover as it has suffered strains and actually sustained many small scarring. Contrary to popular belief, your muscles grow when you rest, especially when you sleep and not in the gym. So sleep at least 8 hours a day. Also, do not train everyday or work the same muscle group more than once or twice a week. If your training was vigorous enough, do no more than an hour per session.</P> <P>Try not to do cardio work on the same day as your weight lifting work. In fact, during the muscle building phase, you should do less cardio work as aerobic exercises burn muscles. You can increase your cardio work at cutting body fat phase, so as to lose body fat in order for your muscle tone to show up nicely.</P> <P>•Technique And Form</P> <P>This is the most neglected fundamental of bodybuilding. Everywhere, everyday, you will see people using wrong forms and techniques. This not only compromises your growth, it will also make you susceptible to injuries... sometimes even permanently putting you out of the gym.</P> <P>Wrong form occurs usually when people try to lift weights that are too heavy, whether out of vanity or ignorance. As a guide, always lift with strict focus on the muscle you intend to build for that exercise. Feel it contract and extend. Lift the weights deliberately and slowly. Never ever swing your weights up especially when doing bicep curls or the military press. </P> <P>•To Build Muscles Fast You Must Perform Lower Body Exercises!</P> <P>This is what most people don't realize. Your lower body makes up 60-70% of your musculature. If you don't train them, not only will you look spider-legged, your entire body will not grow as quickly and as large. Don't think that you can hide those skinny limbs in pants! Most people do not train their legs because squats, dead lifts and lunges can be very grueling exercises. But it is precisely because of such intensity that you will produce more growth hormones when you sleep and overall muscular development is stimulated. Your body shape will also be more balanced and therefore more attractive.</P> <P>Do read up more to understand how your muscles work and then work on it so that in no time you will be a proud owner of a well tone attractive muscular body.</P> <p><strong>About the Author</strong></p> <p>Chris Chew is a fitness personal trainer of fashion models, actors and male pageant winners. <A HREF="http://www.sgfitness.com/site/1388195/page/45030">Male Pageant Winners</A> and <A HREF="http://www.sgfitnessonline.com/yourfitnesscareer.htm">Personal Trainer Courses</A></p><p class="tracker">(ArticlesBase SC #11692)</p> <p>Article Source: <a href="http://www.articlesbase.com/">http://www.articlesbase.com/</a> - <a href="http://www.articlesbase.com/fitness-articles/how-to-get-nice-muscle-tone-and-build-an-attractive-muscular-body-11692.html" title="How To Get Nice Muscle Tone And Build An Attractive Muscular Body">How To Get Nice Muscle Tone And Build An Attractive Muscular Body</a></p><br /><br />Read more: http://www.articlesbase.com/fitness-articles/how-to-get-nice-muscle-tone-and-build-an-attractive-muscular-body-11692.html#ixzz0n3w4Jlst <br />Under Creative Commons License: AttributionUnknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2123917468627055929.post-37495848837283842072010-02-24T00:14:00.000-08:002010-02-24T00:15:44.622-08:00Make Men Fall in Love With You Using the 5 Secret Weapons<p><strong>By: <a href="http://www.articlesbase.com/authors/teecee-go/51505" title="Teecee Go's Articles">Teecee Go</a></strong><p><br /><P>Finding a nice man and keeping him is something every women wants, but generally women have no, or very little idea about what makes a man fall in love and how to keep him loving you for years. From the early years it is impressed upon women that being a nice girl would ultimately be rewarded by getting a nice husband. This always does not work the way it should.</P><br /><P>As a woman grows up, she realizes that it is quite difficult to get a meaningful love and keep him interested enough. But what make a woman attractive in men's eyes? What makes a man to fall in love with a woman? Here's the 5 men secrets I like to share with you.</P><br /><P><STRONG>(1) Beauties Will Not Last</STRONG></P><br /><P>Women generally think men are attracted to beauties or a good face or body, men are, but that does not mean that men do not look for other qualities or fail to look beyond the physical features. Most men like beautiful women, it’s the first step, but they also want more. Men want woman who are opinioned, and who expresses them openly, who would keep his interests alive and women who are good fun to be with. Men get bored easily so they need to have interesting company.</P><br /><P><STRONG>(2) Give Him More Freedom</STRONG></P><br /><P>Another myth is that men don’t want committed relationships they are always looking for relationships with no ‘hang-ups’. As women, men too want to be in a stable relationship, he too wants to feel loved and he also wants someone special so that he can shower his love. Men are very excited about the concept of love as it is. So, it’s just a question of women understanding what makes men fall in love.</P><br /><P><STRONG>(3) Men Don't Like Fake Women</STRONG></P><br /><P>To answer the question what makes men fall in love, we must first understand that all men are not alike so obviously preferences would differ, but there are enough common qualities to attract any type of a man. Men generally prefer women who are themselves, men don’t like women who fake or one who is not comfortable with who she is.</P><br /><P><STRONG>(4) Men Like Someone They Can Trust</STRONG></P><br /><P>Women in trying to please a man generally try to fit in. If a woman is attracted to a man she tries to woo him by being what his idea of a perfect female is. In most cases it does not work since a man comes to know that she is not really the girl he is looking for. And for compromising on her way of life, the man finds the women unappealing, he loses interest because he thinks there is nothing real, he also loses trust in the women for trying to be someone whom she is not. Men love a female who is comfortable in her skin and not afraid to express it. Men respect the women for her true nature and her forthrightness. Men like women who follow their own interests and leave him time to follow his own.</P><br /><P><STRONG>(5) Men Like Genuine/Confident Women</STRONG></P><br /><P>A self assured women is what makes men fall in love, she should be herself, take her own decisions, be assured about her likes and dislikes, should have her own style and grace, and should do things that pleases her. Men would gladly go along with a woman like that.</P><br /><P>In the end if you are still worried about what makes a man fall in love, just know that it’s a genuine and confident person who is at ease with herself. This would surely land you the man of your dreams. Men don’t look for perfect bodies, but look for assured partners.</P><br /><p><strong>About the Author</strong></p><br /><p><p>You can have the power within you to <a href="http://www.howtomakeaguyfallinlovewithyou.com"> make a man fall in love with you</a> Don't just leave it to fate or wait for him to approach you.

ExpectationsInnovation has long been an adage at Mercedes-Benz. The company has always been involved with technological progress in manufacturing safer, cleaner and more efficient vehicles. Mercedes-Benz has always been recognized as the car of people with wealth and recognition. Mercedes Benz was the driving force behind innovations such as the anti-lock braking system (ABS), the airbag, active suspension and ceramic brakes. These improved technologies have saved countless lives.<br /><br />Ever since the company was established, all Mercedes Benz cars manufactured and carrying the Mercedes symbol was known for their high quality. In December 1900, Daimler-Motoren-Gesellschaft (DMG) supplied a client named Emil Jellinek with the world's first Mercedes-brand motor vehicle which followed the name of Jellinek's daughter, Mercédes. From the early stages, Mercedes Benz vehicles have set standards in quality, in technology and in luxury. Nowadays, Mercedes is one of the world's most successful premium-quality automotive brands, with some 6.4 million customers having about 9.5 million Mercedes-Benz passenger cars. In 1900, the annual production of DMG was just 96 vehicles, made almost completely by hand through a workforce of 344 people. In 1913, assembly lines paved the way for volume production at lower costs and, from the time when Jellinek's first ordered in 1900, Mercedes-Benz has built a total of 19 million passenger vehicles. For the first time in 1999, the company sold over a million passenger cars in one year.<br /><br />The majority of Mercedes Benz parts are made by the original equipment manufacturers parts (OEM parts). Packed performance, distinct style and design are reflected not just in every model but in all Mercedes Benz parts as well. All Mercedes Benz car parts can be used not only for Mercedes models but also for various car makes. But still, the right specifications and features of the car must be the highest concern in picking the right product.<br /><br />There are many options of Mercedes Benz parts and accessories in the market, from deluxe to sporty car makes and extraordinary car parts.

A vehicle's cooling system is intended to protect the engine from the destructive forces of too much heat. Radiators take charge of removing excess heat from the engine even under the most extreme conditions. Cooling the motor helps it last longer, taking the vehicle to the distance. If the system isn't in good repair, simple tasks such as sitting idle in rush-hour traffic can cause a vehicle to overheat even when temperatures drop below the freezing mark.<br /><br />Radiators extend engine life, and keep the vehicle's engine at a safe and efficient operating temperature. Without passing the hot coolant through the cool metal grates or cooling cores of the radiator, the incredible heat under the hood of the car or truck would cause the vehicle to very rapidly overheat, potentially leaving the driver stranded. Intense heat could also destroy other parts of the engine that can be very costly to replace. The radiator is a heat exchanger designed to transfer thermal energy from one medium to another for the purpose of cooling and heating. After which, it transfers the heat from the fluid inside to the air outside, thus cooling the engine. This heat-dissipating device is connected to channels running through the engine and cylinder head, through which pumps a liquid.<br /><br />On some cars, the radiator fan is electrically driven and comes on automatically even after the engine has been turned off. Disconnect the ground wire from the battery before starting to work to keep away from injury. Since the engine works harder than most of auto parts, it has a tendency to overheat; therefore, it needs a cooling system that would keep it operating at the right temperature. <a href="www.autopartsdeal.com/radiators/radiators.html" target="_blank">Radiators</a> protect the engine from the destructive forces of too much heat.<br /><br />When you find a leak because of a rock, a hose, or sometimes because of an accident, replace the radiator to allow motor to continue working and be cooled as it should. Overtime, dirt, dust and rust can build up and clog the essential components of the car's radiator. Therefore, routine maintenance can slow this process and makes the life of the radiator temporarily longer. Timely radiator replacement is also important when the current car radiator wears out.<br /><br />Be aware of the serious responsibility that comes with driving and car maintenance. Reduce much of the risks with cars by simply being safety conscious and always check radiators to guarantee protection and long time performance of automobiles. <br />Article Source: http://www.ArticleKit.com/ <br /><br />About the Author<br />Andrea organizes car shows.

These auto parts, like the suspension system and automotive lighting, enable the driver to safely operate the vehicle. The bumpers, however, were installed for the primary purpose of safety for both the passengers as well as the vehicle itself. Like any other auto part, a bumper may lose its wonder if external factors continuously affects it. An aftermarket part called the bumper covers were developed in order to protect the vehicle's bumpers.<br /><br />Bumper covers are basically protective add-ons used for bumpers. Together with the bumper, a bumper cover helps protect and safeguard the headlights assembly as well as the other sensitive systems and workings found under the vehicle's hood. Whenever a low-speed or head-on front or rear collision occurs, the bumper will be able to absorb the impact and will prevent severe damage to the vehicle. Moreover, these add-ons enhances absorption of shocks during collisions. Aside from protecting the lighting system and other mechanism other the hood, a bumper also prevent any further damage to the car's frame. During front or rear collisions, the bumper will immediately absorb the impact that may cause serious damage to the car's frame. If the automobile suffered a lot of damage, the owner will surely have to spend a lot for the repair service.<br /><br />Bumpers endure these things and a whole lot more, thus <a href="http://www.autopartsdeal.com/bumper_covers/bumper_covers.html" target="_blank">bumper covers</a> will be really helpful. With a lot of color schemes to choose from, bumper covers do not only raise the protection up a notch, but these can also add the exterior edge for the vehicle. These restyling accessories can aptly fit either the front or rear bumpers installed on either a pickup truck, van, or sports utility vehicle.<br /><br />Bumper covers can be installed in a couple of ways. There are those that can be easily installed using stick-ons or double-sided tapes, while some may require more time and effort for drilling holes. With this special aftermarket part, style is not the only thing achieved, but more importantly road safety. <br />Article Source: http://www.ArticleKit.com/ <br /><br />About the Author<br />Andrea organizes car shows.

With the company's alliance with the European automaker Renault, Nissan is more empowered in producing quality products and auto parts for its followers worldwide. The Nissan wheels, which are considered basic parts of the vehicle, are manufactured to even exceed the Nissan owners' expectations.<br /><br />Nissan has a mission of enriching people's lives through its products and services. For that, the Japan-established automaker utilizes the top of the line materials even for the basic Nissan wheels. Most modern vehicles, like the Nissan trucks and cars, are manufactured with alloy wheels. These are wheels that are made from aluminum or magnesium metal alloy. Aside from the lighter feature of the alloy wheels, users will notice that these are far better than the normal steel wheels. Not only that, alloy wheels are better heat conductors which improve heat dissipation from the brakes. Nissan vehicles have lesser chances of brake failures because of these improved wheels. Moreover, wheels made of alloy make the vehicle look more sleek and stylish, just like Nissan trucks and tires exude of.<br /><br />Getting the correct details is important in purchasing the <a href="http://www.autopartsdeal.com/nissan/wheels.html" target="_blank">Nissan wheels</a>. One cannot just buy any wheels because every vehicle has varying specifications. For starters, one should know the correct diameter and width of Nissan wheels needed for the vehicle. If these vital measurements were not acquired, there is a big possibility of purchasing the wrong set of Nissan wheels. When this happens, money was not the only thing wasted, but time and effort as well.<br /><br />Whether the Nissan wheels are the regular ones or the alloy ones, these auto parts still have the same function. Basically, wheels have the responsibility for allowing the vehicle to move forward. In addition to that, these basic auto parts are also tasked to carry the weight of the whole vehicle, which includes the passengers. Bigger wheels are, of course, needed for Nissan trucks and tires.<br /><br />When the time comes that replacing the wheels is needed, it is a must that owners are knowledgeable on what type or kind of Nissan wheels have to be fitted in the vehicle. Wheels vary in a lot of aspect such as size and make. Nissan trucks and tires have different needs compared to the smaller cars. The kind of Nissan wheels and tires depend greatly on the demand or duty of the vehicle. For that, owners have to prioritize the wheels' contribution in the vehicle's balance and performance. These are the primary uses of the wheels after all and not just to make the vehicle look all jazzed up. <br />Article Source: http://www.ArticleKit.com/ <br /><br />About the Author<br />Andrea organizes car shows.

Most cars come with less than 100,000 kilometers on the clock<br /><br />Good condition. Regular servicing and repairs due to strict Japanese Government safety checks.<br /><br />Many options. Many owners choose several options, so your car will come feature packed.<br /><br />Cheap! Cars can start at auction for 1 yen, although you'll probably pay a little more than that!<br /><br />And more...<br /><br /><br /><br />In this article I'll cover the following points to help you understand the Japanese used car market and make a more informed choice about buying a car for export to your country.<br /><br /><br /><br />Japanese used car dealers<br /><br />The buying and importing process<br /><br /><br /><br />Japanese used car dealers<br /><br />The process of buying and importing a used car has become much easier with the advent of the internet. There are thousands of dealers throughout Japan and around the world who have websites offering cars they have in stock, or offering a custom car search service where they take your specifications and search the auctions until they find a car to match your exact needs.<br /><br />There is a wide variety of export car dealers. Some dealers are huge organisations dealing with large volumes of cars while others are single entrepreneurs who run their own businesses.<br /><br />Of course the larger a company the bigger the overheads and so probably you'll end up paying slightly more in dealer fees, but you get more security from dealing with an established business.<br /><br />The choice between price and reliability is yours.<br /><br />To help combat the problems of lower quality dealers the Japanese Government recognised JUMVEA (Japanese Used Motor Vehicle Exporters Assosciation) maintains a member list of companies which "was created to address this problem, being composed of used car exporters of excellent credentials and high credibility" <br /><br />Their aim is to give membership to those companies which show their reliability and service over time, so if you are particularly worried about trust then look for a company with this accreditation. You can check the list of members on the JUMVEA website, and accredited members will proudly display their membership on their website.<br /><br />However not many companies have JUMVEA membership so before buying from a non member do the following checks:<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />See if the exporters bank details are listed on the website<br /><br />Call the company at least once to ask about any questions you may have. Bona fide companies will have no problems with talking to you over the phone, although be patient with their English abilty!<br /><br />Ask for testimonials<br /><br />Check the quality of response to your enquiries. If the dealer is obscuring or dodging an issue then move on<br /><br /><br /><br />In general use your common sense and if something is suspicious or dosent feel right then don't proceed and find another dealer.<br /><br />The buying and importing process<br /><br />Check your country's law<br /><br />Before importing check your country's rules for importing used cars to make sure you are allowed to import the car you want. Most countries have liberal laws and are mostly concerned with emissions and safety standards.<br /><br />However these can add extra to the cost of importing so make sure you research the compatibility of the model you want with laws in your own country. If you choose a car which is way outside the limits then you could be spending a large amount to make it conform.<br /><br />Check with the dealer and your local department of motor vehicles if in doubt. You don't want to be left on the docks with a bill for several thousand to make the car conform before you can take it home!<br /><br />Sending the request<br /><br />If the dealer has a stock of cars you can request on shown on their website in which case you will know the price and details of the car.<br /><br />However if you are looking for something specific then you will have to send the dealer an email describing what you want. Most dealers have some sort of request form on their website.<br /><br />Confirmation<br /><br />If you are buying from stock then you will usually get a faster confirmation of purchase. If you request something else then the dealer will have to search for what you requested at an auction and send you details of prices and specifications. It is then up to you to confirm or ask for a different model etc.<br /><br />Payment<br /><br />Once you have decided on a car and price you will be required to pay for it. Methods and amounts vary by dealer.<br /><br />Some dealers require you pay 100% upfront with by bank transfer (or telegraphic transfer T.T.) before the car is bought at auction or readied for shipping. Others require a less amount as a deposit and then a balance on completion of purchase at auction or when the car is ready for shipping.<br /><br />You may feel nervous sending money to a foreign country and unknown company so you should be sure of the dealers trustworthiness before you enter into a contract or send any money.<br /><br />You can do this by checking to see if the dealer displays a company registration number and address on their website, then ask the Japanese embassy in your country for confirmation - although this may take a long time and cost you extra.<br /><br />You can also check the bank account. Japanese banking laws are strict when it comes to monetary movements and bank accounts. All registered businesses are required to have their accounts under exactly the same name that they registered their company.<br /><br />If you are buying a used car online from Japan and the name on the bank account is different from the name of the trading company, or if its an individual, then you should investigate more.<br /><br />Delivery<br /><br />Delivery times will vary according to distance and number of ships to your country. Here is a rough guideline.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Russia and Hong Kong: three days<br /><br />New Zealand and Australia: three weeks<br /><br />Rest of world: between four to six weeks<br /><br /><br /><br />There may be other times to include in the delivery period such as a deregisteration certificate for the Japanese owner which shows the car has been sold by him, and finding a space on a boat to your port. These extra processes can take up another four to six weeks.<br /><br />Arrival<br /><br />Your car has arrived at your port and now you have to pick it up. Take the documentation which the dealer sent you to a shipping agent who will arrange the offloading of the car from the ship.<br /><br />Depending on your country's laws you may have to pay import tax, licence the car, get car safety tests done, and insure the car.<br /><br />Now your car is legally imported and in your hands. Drive home carefully!<br /><br /><br />Summary<br />In conclusion buying and exporting a used Japanese car is fairly straightforward, and can save you a fair bit of money compared to buying a car in your own country. <br /><br />Choosing a reputable firm is probably the biggest priority to ensure a smooth transaction, and you should be aware of any extra costs your government may impose to make the car conform to safety and emission standards.<br /><br />Apart from that buying a Japanese car can be a fun experience and help you get a better used car deal.<br /><br />About the author:<br />For more information on buying and exporting Japanese used cars visit the Japanese used car exporters portal http://www.used-car-japan.com/ .
