Qualifying for Mr.Olympia
Hi all,
For many, the Mr. Olympia bodybuilding contest is the top honor you can receive in professional bodybuilding. Only the best can qualify or be invited to this spectacular show. Each year, a competitor can qualify to the Mr. Olympia through different ways.
2. He is a former Mr. Olympia.
3. He finished in the top three of either of the previous two Mr. Olympia contests.
4. He finished in the top 10 of the previous year's Mr. Olympia.
5. He finished in the top 5 of the same year's Arnold Classic.
6. He finished in the top 5 of the same year's Night of Champion.
7. He finished in the top 3 of an IFBB Pro contest that has taken place after the previous year's Mr. Olympia. If the top 3 are already qualified, then the 4th place competitor is eligible for the Mr. Olympia.
8. The promoter of each year's Mr. Olympia is allowed to invite one non-qualified competitor. In certain years, a second invite has been extended, although quite rarely.

Fiber - Overview
Hi all,
I would like to share some information about fibers. In the end, i hope you all will get a good idea and overview about fiber.
What is Fiber?
Fiber is a virtually indigestible substance, found mainly in the outer layers of plants. Fiber is a special type of carbohydrate that passes through the human digestive system virtually unchanged, without being broken down into nutrients. Carbohydrates constitute the main source of energy for all body functions.
Fiber is important because it has an influence on the digestion process from start to finish:
1. Fiber slows down the eating process and helps contribute to a feeling of being full, which in turn can help prevent obesity from overeating.
2. Fiber makes food more satisfying, probably because the contents of the stomach are bulkier and stay there longer.
3. Fiber slows digestion and absorption so that glucose (sugar) in food enters the bloodstream more slowly, which keeps blood sugar on a more even level.
4. A good diet should contain approximately 25 to 30 grams of fiber a day.
I've collected some information about the fiber content present in various food types like beans, cereals etc,. Hope this will help you all.

Body Classification
Hi
Before giving you or explaining you about the workouts or training programs, better i can clarify about the classification of our human body so that everyone will get a clear view and can plan their workouts according to their body types .
Basically, our human body structure has been divided into three types.
1. Ectomorph
2. Mesomorph
3. Endomorph
In bodybuilding field, different body types respond to different levels of training and nutrition. It is really important to know what your body type is so that you can design and train a workout program accordingly.
No need to scratch your head to know what are those ecto, endo, meso. Its my job to explain about it.
1. Ectomorph
The ectomorph body type physique are generally lean and week. The bones are light, joints are small and muscles are slight. In general, the ectomorph is a linear physique. The ectomorph is not really strong and they will have to work really hard to gain ounce of muscle and strength. Ectomorphs should concentrate on gaining weight in the form of good lean muscular structure. Weights should be slightly heavy and the rest between the workouts and exercises should be slightly more.Diet should be good like high in calories (not junk) and should eat more than you are used to. Aerobics and other activities should be kept to a minimum. Ectomorphs should concentrate more on diet like if you are having meals three times a day, try to divide that it into six meal per day. Choose nutrient and calorie dense food like nuts, dried fruits, sunflower seeds, starchy vegetables rather than lower calorie fruits and popcorn. Don't skimp on the fat either, remember that 30% of you calorie come from fat.
2. Mesomorph
The mesomorph has well defined and large muscles. The skin of the mesomorph is really thick. The mesomorphs can gain muscle easily. Also they can gain fat easily. A mesomorph has naturally a fit body but to maintain it or improve it they should exercise and diet correctly for their body type. Strength training can be done often and they can increase the weight from moderate to heavy. But keep in mind don't overdo it. Stick to healthy diet to keep you lean and muscular and have slow creeping fat grains. Involve in sports and some aerobics activity but keep in mind don't overdo.
Genetically lucky mesomorphs may have an easier time than most staying slim and fit, but this can be a double-edged sword. They have a tendency to assume that they can handle an extra helping of dessert or a hiatus from the gym. Nevertheless, the same rules for health and well-being apply to them as to everyone else.
3. Endomorph
The endomorph body type physique is generally round and soft. May be true that the physique presents the illusion that much of the fat has been covered in the abdominal area. An endomorph's biggest concern is losing of fat. Strength training should be done to get a muscle to fat ratio and therefore improve metabolism. Use moderate weight at a fast training pace, also little rest between the sets and exercises. Endomorph's should reduce the calories intake and should take small meals in regular intervals. Sugar, sweets and junk foods should be eliminated from your diet as much as possible. Physical activities are really important and it should be done regularly. Try to increase the time spending on doing physical exercises gradually. Avoid skipping the workouts. Endomorphs should avoid crash dieting. It will only make your body cling to its fat reserves. Instead, adjust your diet so you are eating more frequent, smaller meals, no more than 5 hours apart. Try to eat slowly and drink plenty of water. Eat lean proteins and high-fiber foods to help you feel full longer. Moreover, do not be fooled by the fat-free diet, you need a little fat to stay healthy. Endomorphs should do at least 30 minutes of moderately paced aerobic activity five days per week. Try walking, jogging, bicycling, dancing, or any other activity that gets your heart pumping. When the pounds start coming off, add weight training two or three times a week to tone and strengthen your muscles. Adding more muscle helps you burn extra calories all day long.

Fitness
Hi all,
From my experience, i can say that there is no age limit for keeping our body fit. It needs a whole hearted dedication. In other words, you have to be very disciplined, regular if it comes to fitness. Its not only hardwork matters but also the interest really matters. I've seen lot of people who used to come to gym only to develop their specific body parts and once its started pumping they'll forgot the way to the gym itself and if the pumping reduces then obviously you can see them again. I will say this is also a kind of interest but this is not the one what we need to keep our body fit. This you can call it in some other way.
Keeping your body fit means not like you need to do weight training, you need to eat a lot and all. That comes in seperate area that i'll cover later.
Fitness is nothing but doing some physical activity that makes or keeps you energetic always. It also means having energy and strength to feel as good as possible. When you are fit, you will feel like doing things without putting as much as effort as the others generally who are not. Also being fit lets you make do more physical activities. It can also help manage weight. Fitness is good for your heart, lungs, bones, joints. Also as far as i heard, it helps in lowering your risk to some of the diseases like heart attack, some cancer, diabetes, high blood pressure. It also helps to think better, manage stress better and keeps you mind always bright.
Some of the physical activity that improve fitness are:
Brisk walking, aerobics activity, skipping, cycling, running(holds good for young) and so on. It's completely upto you to think how to keep your body fit. Don't forget to think.
Thanks and Regards
