Why Sharing Knowledge Is Vital For Success

July 17, 2008 by Gleb Reys 16 Comments

Sharing your knowledge, especially if it’s useful and unique, isn’t always easy. There are plenty of reasons why you should do this, but somehow it’s very easy to get stopped by negative assumptions. In today’s post, I’d like to share my opinion on sharing knowledge, and ask for yours in return.

Naturally, most of us feel competition. Even in your own team, you’re bound to think now and then of how good or bad your performance is compared to that of other team members. While this is absolutely natural, you shouldn’t let such a competition spirit get in the way of you sharing the knowledge with others.

Personal Development Blog Now Has Podcasts!

July 14, 2008 by Gleb Reys Leave a Comment

A few weeks ago I’ve taken part in one of the many competitions Darren Rowse regularly sets up at his ProBlogger blog. This time I was extremely lucky to be one of the 3 winners, and the prize is really something I’ve longed to have on this blog for quite some time: professionally made podcasts, courtesy of First Blog Media!

The first edition of a podcast is now up, and it’s based on the 3 Rules To Help You Fight Procrastination article.

What is a podcast?

Podcasts are usually quite short (5-15min) audio recordings accessible from your website or through one of the many podcast catalogues. Podcasts are very similar to blogs in a way that they’re like an information channel which you can subscribe to, thus constantly getting the latest editions for you to listen to. Many blogs have grown their popularity due to podcast service; at the same time, many podcasts became even more successful than the original idea or a website which started them off.

How do your listen to a podcast?

Websites usually have some kind of a widget – an on-page audio player with basic controls (play/pause, seek and volume) which allows you to start listening to a podcast. For my blog, you will find a widget like this in the sidebar:

To get started, simply click the play button!

What can you expect from Personal Development blog podcasts?

There will be 2 monthly podcasts, initially going back and voicing some of my previous posts, but with a plan to start covering new articles.

Right now, it is planned to cover the posts from the website, which means podcasts will be yet another way for you to get the best of the information I have to offer. I think, however, that there’s nothing wrong with posting unique podcasts in the future – something which has never been posted on my pages before.

Tune in to the first edition, and let me know what you think!

How Weight Training Enhances Your Quality Of Life

July 9, 2008 by Gleb Reys 5 Comments

This is a guest post by Mark McManus from MuscleHack.com. Mark is a muscle and nutrition enthusiast who has spent years in independent research finding the most effective strategies for building the body of your dreams. Mark will help you build muscle & lose fat. He is the author of the book ‘Total Six Pack Abs‘, the guaranteed system for burning fat & sculpting chiseled abs.

There is something you can do which can improve virtually every area of your life.

Weight-training

You say, “Weight training can enhance my quality of life?” Yes it can.

Any fitness program can, but here’s a few brief reasons why weight-training beats them all…

  1. Less fat, more muscle. Weight training burns calories all day long. You’ll lose fat and build muscle. Ladies, you’ll get that toned look. Fellas, you’ll be brawnier and more defined. With resistance training, it’s not just about weight-loss but about body recomposition, losing body-fat and gaining lean muscle tissue.
  2. It’s not exhausting. Long-distance running, for example, is fatiguing to say the least. If you workout correctly, you can be in and out of the gym in 30-45 mins max, taking 2 minute breaks between sets.
  3. Increased Strength. Weight-training obviously beats them all for strength gains, this can come in handy in your every day life.

Ok, with that said, how can training like a bodybuilder improve your life in general? Glad you asked.

Here’s 5 ways weight training can enhance your quality of life:

  1. More energy – Energy begets energy. People tend to see the amount of energy they feel as only a result of calorie intake. However, you know as well as I do, that movement and activity make you feel energetic. Lack of movement makes you lethargic, regardless of how much you eat – it’s simply a fact of physiology. Movement in the form of exercise, causes the desire to move more, creating a positive feedback cycle of energy and enthisiasm. With weight training, you’ll perform brief workouts almost every day which ensures that you’ll feel vibrant and passionate in all other areas of your life!
  2. Excitement – As readers of this blog, you know all about goal-setting. However, how many of your goals produce quick, tangeable results? Using an effective workout plan can produce remarkable results. In a few short weeks you can see your body change before your eyes! I don’t know of many things more exciting than that.
  3. Confidence – Looking good makes you feel confident. It’s not vanity, it’s empowerment. Apart from the fact that your physical body will make you feel confident, you’ll begin to ask yourself, “If I can control my body with the conscious use of my will, what else can I control?” This is the beginning of unbounded confidence and a mental attitude that will propel you to success.
  4. Sexual attractiveness – No point in dodging this one. Your physical appeal and magnetism will increase. That’s great news for single people and also great news for the spouses of those of you in relationships ;)
  5. Better Health. Here’s some health benefits of weight-training:
    • Increased muscular strength
    • Reduced body fat mass and increased lean body mass
    • Strengthened tendons and ligaments
    • Positive changes in lipid profile (cholesterol & triglycerides)
    • Improved bone strength and density
    • Improved glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity (warding off diabetes)
    • Increased metabolic rate – You’ll burn more calories even when resting
    • Decreased blood pressure

So what are you waiting for? You can get your free workout plan here, get started with a bodybuilding diet, and head over to the bodybuilding forum anytime where you’ll meet people who’ll be glad to offer help and support.
