PART 1: THE LORI BRAUN - TOM VENUTO
...NO HOLDS BARRED
...NOTHING HELD BACK
...ALL SECRETS REVEALED INTERVIEW

LB: Tom, what is your daily aerobic program, and how important is aerobics for the bodybuilder?

TV: Aerobics is extremely important and too many bodybuilders and fitness competitors are "cardio-phobic." It’s a common belief that aerobics makes you to lose muscle, but I’ve never found this to be true. Inadequate nutrition is the main cause of muscle loss, not aerobics. The problem is that many people decrease their calories a lot and also increase their cardio at the same time. They fail to realize that simply by increasing their cardio, they are creating a calorie deficit and this alone is sufficient to initiate fat loss.

The American Psychiatric Association defines exhibitionism as "recurrent intense sexually-arousing fantasies, sexual urges or behaviors involving the exposure of one's genitals to unsuspecting strangers." In some cases, the motivation is to arouse shock, surprise, or even elicit sexual feelings in the observer(s).

In my last blog entry I talked about the need to create balance in your workouts. The three main pillars of a balanced workout include cardiovascular exercise, stretching or flexibility, and strength training.

I tend to include "core" conditioning as an add-on. As I had mentioned, one should actually be spending almost equal amounts of time on each of these three pillars in any given week.

From "Subway Fantasy" on stories.femalemuscle.com:"You worm! It’s too bad you didn’t get off at the last stop. You don’t have to sit next to me anymore. There are plenty of seats. I end up being stuck in this stuffy, hot subway car with just you. If you don’t move away from me willingly, I’ll put you in a headlock and make you move. Wait a minute…so that’s it. You want to sit next to me so you can be close to my big muscles. I should have figured this before. You are so wimpy and small, and you are just the type that likes strong women with huge muscles. Well, you do have good taste in the opposite sex, but I am not the type of woman that likes you. I like big, muscular guys like bodybuilders and wrestlers. You hardly fit into that category, wimp. You are so small that I could crush you with one arm. I suppose you’ve noticed my big biceps. You must have, because everybody does. You just can’t ignore seventeen inch, hard, bulging biceps."

Do you like to tie one on why tying up your packages? For many of us, the holiday season is a time of pure indulgence. Sometimes those indulgences include alcohol.

A hangover (do I really need to describe the symptoms?) is caused primarily by dehydration. Alcohol is a diuretic (which explains all of those trips to the bathroom!).

Ring in the New Year with a jumpstart health regimen! My 4-day diet plan is calorie controlled and loaded with fiber, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidant-rich foods. You'll get a blast of daily nutrition plus feel full and satisfied while you lose weight. For best results, be sure to drink lots of water and incorporate at least 30 minutes of daily exercise.
