As one author put it, your primary abs building workout starts in the kitchen.

Some people notice more aches and pains as they get older. Simple activities like picking something up can cause a wave of pain. Their joints just don't seem as limber as they used to be. This does not necessarily apply to older people. Some folks decide to get on the fitness workout bandwagon. They start off with what they think is the best muscle building program and go for it. A few days later, they start to feel like their senior counterparts. It feels like the pain is deep in the bones, but the truth, according to research done at John Hopkins Medical School, points to muscles and connective tissue that move the joints may be the problem.

The problem lies in flexibility, or the range of a joint's movement from one direction to full range in the other, the greater the range, the more flexible the joint. For example, if you can bend at the hips and touch the floor, you may have good flexibility, but how much effort did it take for you to get there? Exertion required moving a joint is as important as the joint's potential flexibility. If you are engaging in any bodybuilding and fitness program, these things need to be taken into consideration.

Of course there are some limits on a joint's flexibility. Structure and connective tissue limit some joints flexibility. This is necessary, otherwise we would not be able to walk or function. Other causes of inflexibility can be likened to a rusty hinge. As a hinge that is not well maintained will rust and balk, the same applies to muscles and joints. If a muscle is not used regularly, a downward cascade of events follows: after short period of disuse the muscle causes pain when someone tried to use it. This causes pain, and the muscle falls into further disuse. Over time the muscle shortens, causing cramps and spasms. Over long periods of not using a muscle eventually biochemical changes take place. This is why regular exercise is an important part of keeping in good general health. This is also why physical therapy is important to help recover from some injuries. If you have not been working out regularly, make sure you gradually work into any type of fitness workout exercise.

Aging and inactivity can be factors in muscle pain. Tendons, ligaments and fascia become less elastic. This causes pressure on nerves resulting in pain. This pain then causes further decrease of use resulting in more inactivity. So it's a good idea to include regular exercise throughout your life.

One must remember, however, that things can be overdone. "No pain, no gain," is not necessarily true. Pain is the body's mechanism of warning that injury could be imminent. Many people in their zealousness to lose weight or gain muscle overdo it to the extent that they injure themselves, stop exercising and end up back where they started. They are trying to find how to build muscles fast and end up injuring themselves.

Researchers have done experiments on muscles that show less electrical activity in muscle that was stretched or lengthened, than one that was in spasm, thereby causing more pain because it was not stretched. The less electrical activity tended to lessen pain. "No pain, no gain," is just not true. If you are trying to find the best muscle building or exercise program, it will include stretching and limbering. While some soreness may result from body weight exercises, don't go to the point of pain. If you maintain a good, regular exercise program where your muscles get good stretches and moderate strengthening, you will be well on your way to better health for the rest of your life.

While we are constantly plastered with mixed messages about how to lose weight, I am going to clear up 3 of the biggest myths about losing weight fast, just how important is your diet, the truth about spot reduction exercises that you see in infomercials, and the biggest misconceptions of cardio.
