About Me...
                                                           Kevin Sicilia
                                      The reason I began this magazine is
                                  because I wanted an easy way to stay fit.
                                   I used to do sports but during my senior
                                     year, I chose not to participate due to
                                   coaching changes. I tried joining a gym
                                     but when I went, I found it awkward
                                  working out in front of strangers and the
                                  cost for joining was unnecessary for my
                                   results. I am starting this magazine for
                                  others who are in a similar position. This
                                   magazine can also benefit those who do
                                  not have time to go to the gym 3-5 days a
                                                     week.

BMI
                                                           Body Mass Index
      BMI is the universal measure of a person’s height and weight to see if
                            they are a healthy size.




            The gray shaded area represents the average healthy weight and
               height ratio. 55% of American citizens fall into the yellow
                       (overweight) or red (obese) shaded areas.



                                                                 55%
             The formula to find your own personal BMI is quick and easy.
            Simply take your weight in pounds and multiply it by 4.88. Then
                      divide that by your height, in feet, squared.

                                                 Ex. 175 lbs x 4.88 = 20.71 = Normal Weight

                              Simple Everyday Chores That Burn Calories without Us
                                                Even Noticing

                                                            Yard Work
        When performing yard work, believe it or not, you’re
        killing two birds with one stone. Of course tidying up
        your yard makes it look nicer but did you know this is
             also an excellent way to burn those unwanted
           calories? Depending on what chore it is, you can
        even afford to skip out on your workout for that day!

      1. If your lawn mower is a push mower, you can burn up to 325
      calories per hour just by mowing your lawn. Some lawns are bigger
      or have obstacles that drag lawn mowing out to an hour and a half
      easily letting you burn over 485 calories!
      2. Shoveling your driveway, if it takes an hour, can burn up to 354
      calories.
      3. Raking leaves is equivalent to an exercise that burns up to 236
      calories per hour.
                                                            Other Activities
        4. Jumping rope is a fun and easy exercise, not to mention that it
        only costs about 3 bucks and can last you a lifetime. The amount
        of calories burned in one hour from jumping rope has reached
        1,000!
       5. Riding your bike, depending on what speed and terrain you are
       riding, can burn between 290 and 590 of your unwanted calories.
       6. Don’t be lazy! Instead of finding the closest parking space, park
       farther away and walk. Instead of riding the elevator, take the
       stairs. These little steps add up and can strengthen your heart and
       respiratory system.

                                                                               Page 22

                                                           is enough for an average sized male’s entire day.
                                                            Cutting back on calories is an easy first step of

When working out, your muscles are stretched and the tissues are
     ripped. During recovery, these tissues are repaired and your muscles
        will be stronger and bigger than they were before the workout.
     Taking larger amounts of protein helps your muscles recover faster as
                 well as reduce wear damage during workouts.

                                                           To find your protein requirements, you
                                                           must first divide your weight, in pounds,
      Protein                                              by 2.2 to find its equivalence in
                                                           kilograms. Then a healthy range is
      Requirements:                                        1.4-1.8 of your weight in kilograms.
                                                           - Ex. 200 lbs/ 2.2= 90.9 kg.
                                                            -90.9/1.4=65 grams of protein (high
                                                           end)
                                                           -90.9/1.8=50.5 grams of protein (low

The importance of
          Recovery days and
        Stretching (before and
                after)
                                                           Recovery Days
         Recovery days are extremely important and taken very seriously
         during workouts. These days off give your body a chance to re-
      cooperate from the strenuous wear you put on it the day before. Your
       ripped muscle tissues are repairing themselves (this is the soreness).
          When they are fully repaired, your muscles will be bigger and
       stronger than they were before your recent workout. Overtraining
       syndrome is a very serious condition that is very common but most
      people don’t notice the symptoms which include depression, staleness,
      lack in sports performance, and increase risk of injury. Overtraining
          is caused by not giving your body enough time to rest between
                                vigorous workouts.


                                                           Stretching
                                                                Stretching before a workout is important
                                                             because it gets your heart rate up before you
       Before a                                              do anything too strenuous. When your heart
                                                             pumps faster, the blood carries more oxygen
       Workout                                               to your muscles, which also helps strengthen
                                                              ligaments. Isometrics are a good warm up
                                                             because it gets the heart pumping more blood
                                                                       than stretching alone does.

    Stretching after a workout is constantly
      avoided by many people but is just as
   important as stretching before. Stretching                                     After a
      after keeps your muscles from tensing
        back up as soon as your workout is                                        Workout
     finished. It also prevents some (but not
      all) of the soreness felt the day after a
                      workout.                                                                 Page 26

                                                                                            Page 27
KEVIN S SICILIA   Thursday, April 22, 2010 1:32:56 AM ET
Q: Why did you decide to start a magazine?

         A: I started this magazine because I wanted to stay fit but I didn’t
         want to spend all my money and time at the gym in the process.
         The magazine tells people what gyms don’t want you to know-how
         to stay fit without spending a fortune or leaving the comfort of
         your own home.


          Q: Why is this magazine different from other magazines
          today?

          A: Other magazines stay focused on one general topic, either diet
          or working out, lifting or penny-pinching. This magazine covers
          it all. It puts all those genres together to make the ultimate source
          for someone who wants to be healthy but doesn’t feel the need to
          go to the gym.

           Q: Where do you see this magazine in one year from
           now?

           A: I have a feeling when this magazine is released, it will not be
           very popular at first. Once people open it up and begin to see all
           the information it covers, it will start to spread like wildfire,
           which I am guessing will take about a year. In a few years, I
           can see this magazine making a huge impact on peoples’ lives
           and depending on how many people use it per capita, possibly
           even putting some small gyms out of business.
          Q: How much training have you had with this?

          A: As far as my daily calorie intake and using methods
          alternative to weights, that is the only way I have ever lived. I
          don’t feel the need to up my protein intake, buy a yoga mat, or
          even a training ball. Yard work plays a major role in my life as
          being one of my sources of income so that definitely gives me an
          advantage.
            Q: High reps, low weight or vis versa?

            A: I don’t enjoy lifting weights and I don’t get anything out of it.
            That would be a more opinionated question and would vary
            from person to person.

    About Me... Kevin Sicilia The reason I began this magazine is because I wanted an easy way to stay fit. I used to do sports but during my senior year, I chose not to participate due to coaching changes. I tried joining a gym but when I went, I found it awkward working out in front of strangers and the cost for joining was unnecessary for my results. I am starting this magazine for others who are in a similar position. This magazine can also benefit those who do not have time to go to the gym 3-5 days a week.

    BMI Body Mass Index BMI is the universal measure of a person’s height and weight to see if they are a healthy size. The gray shaded area represents the average healthy weight and height ratio. 55% of American citizens fall into the yellow (overweight) or red (obese) shaded areas. 55% The formula to find your own personal BMI is quick and easy. Simply take your weight in pounds and multiply it by 4.88. Then divide that by your height, in feet, squared. Ex. 175 lbs x 4.88 = 20.71 = Normal Weight 6.42^2 Page 19 KEVIN S SICILIA Thursday, April 22, 2010 1:32:56 AM ET

    Methods of Exercise Simple Everyday Chores That Burn Calories without Us Even Noticing Yard Work When performing yard work, believe it or not, you’re killing two birds with one stone. Of course tidying up your yard makes it look nicer but did you know this is also an excellent way to burn those unwanted calories? Depending on what chore it is, you can even afford to skip out on your workout for that day! 1. If your lawn mower is a push mower, you can burn up to 325 calories per hour just by mowing your lawn. Some lawns are bigger or have obstacles that drag lawn mowing out to an hour and a half easily letting you burn over 485 calories! 2. Shoveling your driveway, if it takes an hour, can burn up to 354 calories. 3. Raking leaves is equivalent to an exercise that burns up to 236 calories per hour. Other Activities 4. Jumping rope is a fun and easy exercise, not to mention that it only costs about 3 bucks and can last you a lifetime. The amount of calories burned in one hour from jumping rope has reached 1,000! 5. Riding your bike, depending on what speed and terrain you are riding, can burn between 290 and 590 of your unwanted calories. 6. Don’t be lazy! Instead of finding the closest parking space, park farther away and walk. Instead of riding the elevator, take the stairs. These little steps add up and can strengthen your heart and respiratory system. Page 22 KEVIN S SICILIA Thursday, April 22, 2010 1:32:56 AM ET

A good amount of carbohydrates suggested to help muscle growth is 60% of your calories. This means 60% of your daily calories should come from carbs. Carbohydrate The equation to find this is (based on a 2,500 calorie diet) 2,500 x .6 = 1,500 carb Intake: calories. However, nutrition labels do not have how many carbs are in the calories, they are displayed in grams. To find grams, you can divide the carb calories by 4. For example, continuing from the problem above, 1,500/4=375 grams of carbohydrates per day. Page 24 KEVIN S SICILIA Thursday, April 22, 2010 1:32:56 AM ET

    When working out,your muscles are stretched and the tissues are ripped. During recovery, these tissues are repaired and your muscles will be stronger and bigger than they were before the workout.

    The importance of Recovery days and Stretching (before and after) Recovery Days Recovery days are extremely important and taken very seriously during workouts. These days off give your body a chance to re- cooperate from the strenuous wear you put on it the day before. Your ripped muscle tissues are repairing themselves (this is the soreness). When they are fully repaired, your muscles will be bigger and stronger than they were before your recent workout. Overtraining syndrome is a very serious condition that is very common but most people don’t notice the symptoms which include depression, staleness, lack in sports performance, and increase risk of injury. Overtraining is caused by not giving your body enough time to rest between vigorous workouts. Stretching Stretching before a workout is important because it gets your heart rate up before you Before a do anything too strenuous. When your heart pumps faster, the blood carries more oxygen Workout to your muscles, which also helps strengthen ligaments. Isometrics are a good warm up because it gets the heart pumping more blood than stretching alone does. Stretching after a workout is constantly avoided by many people but is just as important as stretching before. Stretching After a after keeps your muscles from tensing back up as soon as your workout is Workout finished. It also prevents some (but not all) of the soreness felt the day after a workout.

    Q: Why didyou decide to start a magazine? A: I started this magazine because I wanted to stay fit but I didn’t want to spend all my money and time at the gym in the process. The magazine tells people what gyms don’t want you to know-how to stay fit without spending a fortune or leaving the comfort of your own home. Q: Why is this magazine different from other magazines today? A: Other magazines stay focused on one general topic, either diet or working out, lifting or penny-pinching. This magazine covers it all. It puts all those genres together to make the ultimate source for someone who wants to be healthy but doesn’t feel the need to go to the gym. Q: Where do you see this magazine in one year from now? A: I have a feeling when this magazine is released, it will not be very popular at first. Once people open it up and begin to see all the information it covers, it will start to spread like wildfire, which I am guessing will take about a year. In a few years, I can see this magazine making a huge impact on peoples’ lives and depending on how many people use it per capita, possibly even putting some small gyms out of business. Q: How much training have you had with this? A: As far as my daily calorie intake and using methods alternative to weights, that is the only way I have ever lived. I don’t feel the need to up my protein intake, buy a yoga mat, or even a training ball. Yard work plays a major role in my life as being one of my sources of income so that definitely gives me an advantage. Q: High reps, low weight or vis versa? A: I don’t enjoy lifting weights and I don’t get anything out of it. That would be a more opinionated question and would vary from person to person.
