Lucas Irwin Shocked His Family With His AMAZING Transformation

Lucas Irwin Shocked His Family With His AMAZING Transformation

B.S.E | 3:17:00 PM

Lucas Irwin had struggled with his weight for some time.

He weighed 300 pounds and had tried for years unsuccessfully to lose weight.

On Dec. 28, 2012, he decided that this year would be his year. He watched what he ate and slowly the pounds came off. He shared photos of himself in the Reddit weight loss community who supported him in his efforts.

For the next 12 months, he continued to lose weight.

By December 2013, he had lost 170 pounds.

When he went home to see his family, he felt very nervous. He began shaking thinking about what the moment would be like. His parents couldn't believe their son's transformation! They seemed so happy and proud that he was finally able to accomplish what had eluded him for so long. His parents later described the moment to Today.

His father Jeff Irwin said, "He looked just fantastic. I was more stunned than anything else. But inside, I was just beaming. I was just ... I was over the moon." His stepmother Susan Irwin shared similar thoughts. "Just picturing it in my mind again, it brings back tears to my eyes again. I am so proud of him," she shared.

Irwin said: "I lost 95 percent of the weight just through changing my diet," He said. "I only ate 1,350 calories a day. I didn't exercise at all until maybe seven or eight months in."

5 Standing Pilates Exercises for Warm Ups and Cool Downs

5 Standing Pilates Exercises for Warm Ups and Cool Downs

B.S.E | 5:38:00 PM

Most Pilates standing exercises have been adapted from matwork exercises, allowing you to use your body weight as a source of resistance. If you’re hoping to make certain daily tasks a little easier to perform, or would like to improve your balance, consider adding standing exercises to your Pilates routine.

What is Standing Pilates?

Standing Pilates adapts many of the classic Pilates matwork exercises to take them into the vertical plane. One of the first things Marta pointed out to me about standing Pilates is that it provides a link between the Pilates mat work and everyday movement -- an enhancement of the Pilates functional fitness approach to exercise.

Take your workouts from the mat to vertical with these five standing Pilates exercises. They will help tone your legs, including inner thighs, and engage your core powerhouse muscles. They are good for balance as well. Best of all, standing Pilates exercises make a perfect transition for taking your Pilates from the mat into daily life.

• Rolling Like a Ball
• Standing Pilates Lunge
• Wall Roll Down
• Standing Pilates Squat
• Standing Pilates Footwork

1. Rolling Like a Ball - Standing

Stand straight with your feet planted approximately hip-width apart to begin Standing Rolls. Pretend that your back is pressed against a wall and roll forward one vertebra at a time, like you’re going to touch your toes without your legs losing contact with the imaginary wall. You should feel your hamstrings stretch. As you roll back upwards, keep your core tight and move slowly. Repeat a few more times. This move helps to create a better sense of balance, since your core must be engaged in order to roll forward slowly.

2. Standing Pilates Lunge

The Pilates lunge is a favoured exercise to strengthen the quadriceps muscles, gluteal muscles and hamstrings muscles. It also aids in hip stabilization and knee strengthening. Moreover, this routine also helps you gain a better sense of balance and an increased awareness of your body.

3. Wall Roll Down

The Roll Down involves sequential flexion which in turn creates space between the vertebrae’s of the spine. It releases tension in the neck and shoulders, the spine and also works the abs and stretches the hamstrings while improving blood circulation throughout the whole body. The Roll Down also teaches you the correct way to pick something up off the floor without hurting your back. Make sure to bend the knees when lifting and breath out as you come back up to standing.

4. Standing Pilates Squat

This exercise aims to tone leg muscles and provides a great workout for the core muscles and the entire lower body. It looks simple but should be executed with control and awareness. It can be made more challenging by incorporating small weighted Pilates balls, which will work to tone the shoulders as well.

5. Standing Pilates Footwork

Standing Pilates "Footwork" is an exercise that is done to begin the advanced mat workout and it can also be performed on the reformer. Standing Footwork is a variation of this exercise that is fast and easy to do at home. It's a great thing to do when you get home from work in the evening! It strengthens abdominal muscles, improves balance as well as stretching and strengthening the oft forgotten feet.

Should You Exercise On An Empty Stomach?

Should You Exercise On An Empty Stomach?

B.S.E | 4:19:00 PM

If you workout first thing in the morning, you probably do it before eating a full breakfast.

There’s been an ongoing debate about whether it’s necessary to fuel up before going for that run or hitting the gym. Many studies say fasting before a workout helps you burn fat, while others suggest there’s some risk involved. 

However there is new evidence that an empty stomach makes a more efficient workout. There are some downsides, so should you exercise hungry or lightly fed?

CAN EXERCISING HUNGRY HELP TO BURN MORE FAT?

The answer seems to be that hungry workouts really can be more efficient.  ‘Training fasted’ (as opposed to ‘training fed’) seems to make the body burn more of its fat stores. If you ‘train fed’, carbohydrate is available as glucose in the blood and the body turns to that instead. Some small-scale studies are bearing out this theory.

There is even evidence that ‘training fasted’ can make your body more efficient for future ‘training fed’ sessions. These are the times when your body needs to make use of carbohydrate. Inability to do this efficiently can bring that ‘runners wall’ much closer, or give you a sudden dip in the middle of your weights or cardio session.

High Intensity Or Long Duration Exercise (>2 hours)

This type of exercise (HIIT, heavy weight lifting, crossfit) will use up stored carbohydrates and creatine phosphate. It will be hard to do if you do not eat before hand, and if you are very low in carbohydrates, you may use up protein / muscle as fuel (which you don’t really want).

If you do this type of exercise first thing in the morning, I would recommend eating something small and high in carbohydrates (such as fruit) prior to this workout. If you are exercising in the afternoon, I would recommend eating something high in carbohydrates and moderate in protein around 2 hours before. Some examples include yoghurt and berries, healthy sports bar or a piece of toast with eggs.

SO Is it Bad to Exercise on an Empty Stomach?

It can be a hotly debated topic: is it better to exercise on an empty stomach, or is not eating anything at all before a workout just setting yourself up for a lackluster performance?

Hence, if you perform any exercise, ensure that you grab some food before you do some exercise. And as always, consult your doctor first before you do any exercise or fitness program.
