Monsoon inconveniently comes along just as you’ve set up a regular exercise routine.

Most of us don’t like running in the downpour; even fewer of us want to turn up at a fitness class soaked. The Indian monsoon keeps many of us from going to the gym on a regular basis.

One sure-fire way to get rid of those pesky kilos is using weight plates. It is a weight lifting accessory that adds more resistance to dumbbells, barbells and plate-loaded weight machines. There are many varieties of weight plates available but the most popular ones are made of cast iron. Round or octagonal-shaped plates have a central hole to fit a barbell.

Weight plates alone are capable of delivering fitness results and you don’t always need a barbell to get the results you seek. The best part is that you do not need a spacious room to exercise with weight plates. You can perform exercises with weight plates wherever you are, whether it’s the office, home or gym. Did you get confused with ‘office’ mentioned in the previous sentence? Well, weight plates are easy to carry around and can help you carry out quick and easy exercises close to your work

Making sure you get enough protein in your diet is important for both success in your workouts as well as an necessary ingredient to a healthy lifestyle. Protein is needed to build – and rebuild – muscle. Salmon is an ideal source of protein (not to mention heart-healthy omega-3 fats). Serve with steamed veggies and brown rice to complete the meal with healthy carbohydrates and energy-producing B vitamins. Protein-rich salmon, along with fiber from vegetables and brown rice, is a great way to not only build and rebuild, but also to help keep your hunger! Try this recipe for Protein-Packed Fish.

Protein-Packed Fish

• 1/4 cup rice wine vinegar
• 3 tablespoons maple syrup
• 2 tablespoons fresh orange juice
• 4 (6-ounce) salmon fillets, skinned
• Cooking spray
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Combine first 3 ingredients in a large zip-top plastic bag; add fish. Seal and marinate in refrigerator

Here are six reasons to get a treadmill, followed by advantages to shopping at one of At Home Fitness’ superstores or online at www.athomefitness.com.

WHY GET A TREADMILL?

RELIABLE SURFACE – Running on a good treadmill provides a smooth, cushioned surface to churn out your miles on.

An uneven surface outside can lead to injuries, or aggravate minor issues a runner is already having. Of course, someone is also much more likely to hit an uneven spot when running outside, like tripping on a curb, slipping when it’s cold or rainy, or twisting their ankle in a pothole.

Treadmills are really nice for athletes who are coming back from an injury to find their stride again because of the guaranteed smooth, safe surface.

SAFETY – Expanding on the idea of a more comfortable running surface, a treadmill is just flat out safer in general than running outside.

Gaining lean muscle takes two things. Physical activity and nutrition. You need strength training workouts that build muscle, and proper food sources that include high-protein foods, as well as carbohydrates and healthy fats. The great thing about adding lean muscle is that you’re going to increase your metabolism, which burns body fat. And, muscle takes up less room than fat, while toning your body. But without proper nutrition, your muscle building progress will stall. Here are some foods that are great nutritional sources for gaining lean muscle.

Eggs – Eggs contain high-quality protein, healthy fats and other important nutrients like B vitamins and choline. And the proteins in eggs are made up of amino acids, including leucine, which is particularly important for muscle gain. If you want to avoid extra cholesterol, you may want to go with just egg whites, rather than whole eggs.

Chicken Breasts – One thing to
