Best Foods for Gaining Lean Muscle

Gaining lean muscle takes two things. Physical activity and nutrition. You need strength training workouts that build muscle, and proper food sources that include high-protein foods, as well as carbohydrates and healthy fats. The great thing about adding lean muscle is that you’re going to increase your metabolism, which burns body fat. And, muscle takes up less room than fat, while toning your body. But without proper nutrition, your muscle building progress will stall. Here are some foods that are great nutritional sources for gaining lean muscle.

Eggs – Eggs contain high-quality protein, healthy fats and other important nutrients like B vitamins and choline. And the proteins in eggs are made up of amino acids, including leucine, which is particularly important for muscle gain. If you want to avoid extra cholesterol, you may want to go with just egg whites, rather than whole eggs.

Ideas For Building a Home Gym

A home gym isn’t just for the rich and famous anymore. All you need is a little (yes, just a little) space to be able to work out in the comfort of your own home. Do you have a room that isn’t being used to its full potential? Maybe it’s a spacious garage that you rarely park the car in. Maybe it’s a home office that’s seen better days or a spare bedroom that’s become a storage space. With a little elbow grease, you can turn one of those spaces into an exercise room that accommodates your love of Pilates, yoga, running or whatever moves you.

Whether it’s a small nook or an entire room, homeowners are starting to make home gyms a priority. Engaging in a home fitness routine doesn’t mean you need expensive workout equipment; there are several home gym design options that simply require some creativity, a

Here are eight benefits of using free weights:

1.    WORK MUSCLES MORE EFECTIVELY – When you use free weights for strength training, you have to work harder against gravity. This is because you have to lift dumbbells or plates. As you maneuver the weight into different positions, this works out different muscles – including stabilizer muscles that aren’t activated as much on machines.

2.    CARDIO BENEFIT -In the first 4 weeks of strength training with free weights, your body builds muscle by contracting each muscle group. This helps to improve your overall strength while also burning fat

3.    GAIN STRENGTH AND MASS – After a period of regular strength training with free weights, the structure of your muscles changes to build larger, stronger muscles. Progress takes time, but you should start seeing results within a couple weeks.

4.    VERSATILITY – Free weights, like dumbbells or weight plates lifted on bars
