NEW SOUTH WALES, Australia Australias lead mental health agency says
the debate about same-sex marriage rights here have a damaging eect on
LGBT residents, the Australian reports.
The National Mental Health Commission on Monday issued a statement to
warn that the debate had heightened discrimination against LGBT people.
(LGBT) people have experienced damaging behavior in their workplaces,
communities and in social and traditional media, commission co-chair,
Professor Allan Fels, said, according to the Australian. The commission is
alarmed about potential negative health impacts these debates are having on
individuals, couples and families who face scrutiny and judgment.
The commission, like more than 40 other health organizations, has a position
statement that marriage equality is a health issue due to, for example, the higher
rates of mental illness and suicide among LGBT people. Although the debate is having
a distressing impact, Brogden said pre-existing vulnerability was of most concern.

Fat-blasting tness
The more complex the exercise,
the more results youll see
Fall is here and though some of
us have already switched up our
workouts to bulking it up, there
has been a big shift in philosophy
to make training way more about
leaning out and staying athletic.
That means blasting as much fat as
GERARD BURLEY is a D.C.-based personal trainer. possible to stay lean or get leaner
Reach him via @CoachGFit or coachg@coachgt- during your workouts.
ness.com.
Of course we know that cardio
burns calories, but I want to show
you that lifting can be even more benecial in changing your body and how it
looks. Follow this lifting techniques and watch your body start to shred.
Complex lifts, mean complex calorie burn: When it comes down to triggering
a big fat burning eect, the more complex the exercise the better. When your
body doesnt have to work as hard to gure out the exercise, it wont burn as
many calories. This means dont be afraid of the more complicated exercises
once you have gotten the form down. Think of exercises that cross lots of joints
and things that make you o balance.
Exercises that cross lots of joints are called complex exercises. Think squats,
lunges, push ups and pull ups. Now try to further confuse the body try adding
in one more element to those exercises. Instead of just performing a squat, try
holding a set of dumbbells and making your squat into a squat with a curl and
a press. You now have made the normal exercise into something harder for
your body to command and in turn something that burns more calories, raises
your metabolism and burns more fat. Instead of your normal push up, add in
a push up with a leg lift at the top to make the exercise harder on your body.
Use your creativity to complicated the exercises that you normally do and watch
your body start to change that much quicker.
Get o balance: Like working with more complex exercises, working with
exercises that challenge your balance can also make it more dicult for your
body and raise calorie and fat burn. When people think of balance everyone
thinks of standing on one leg or dancing like a ballerina, but there are many
tools out there that can help to change your more common exercises into
balance exercises.
Exercise equipment like BOSU balls, stability balls, TRX bands and medicine
balls can change the normal stability of common exercises. Try doing a push up
on an unstable surface like a ball and keeping the ball as still as possible while
going through the press. Your muscles have to work double time because they
are working just to stay stable and then work to get you through the actual range
of motion.
If youre used to using machines for your workouts, this switch up can be very
challenging so start with no weight or light weights and slowly progress to the
normal intensity. Remember the goal is to stay stable the entire time so going
slow and keeping your balance is more important than banging out a bunch of
reps and heavy weight with bad form.
Be explosive: The most complicated exercises that give you the most bang for
your buck are explosive exercises. Think plyometrics and fast olympic lifts like
power cleans, hang cleans and snatches. The pro to these exercises are that they
really work at blasting fat fast, but the con is they have a high chance of injury
with the movements. These exercises should be done rst with supervision to
make sure youre doing them correctly. Also make sure to start with light weights
and the second you feel a little tired, take a break. When youre tired you tend
to make mistakes with your form, so its important to only work when you feel
in the optimal form.
Overall the body loves to adapt quickly so its important to consistently
challenge the body with dierent exercises and exercise patterns. As soon as
you get good at once type of exercise, go to another to keep the body guessing
and burning as much fat as possible. Do that and this fall will be just as lean if
not leaner than you summer.
