Tips for Bodybuilding Beginners


CEO Mohammad Mark Narmuq focuses on real estate investments through his company Narmuq Capital Inc. Outside of work, Mark Narmuq engages in fitness and bodybuilding.

Bodybuilding traces its roots to the Greek and Egyptian tradition of stone-lifting. Since then, the tradition has evolved into a sport, undertaken by many who wish to build muscle mass and improve strength. Below are tips for bodybuilding beginners:

- Use free weights - Modern gym machines are common in fitness and training centers, but this equipment does very little to build muscle mass. Free weights, such as dumbbells and barbells, are advised for beginners.

- Focus on form - Enlist the help of a trainer and use his or her expertise to help you achieve the correct form. Lifts should be done in a controlled way to prevent injury and ensure effective muscle work. 

- Pace your training - Daily training is not advised since muscles need to rest and recover after each exercise. Trainers advise working out 3 to 4 times in a week, or resting for 48 hours after each workout.

Houston Real Estate Market Slumps as Austin and Dallas Grow

 


Based in Houston, Texas, Mohammad (Mark) Narmuq started his career as a loan officer for Tamayo Financial Services before venturing into real estate. The chief executive of Fargo LLC and Narmuq Capital, Mohammad (Mark) Narmuq invests in and develops real estate in Houston and the greater Texas area.

The Houston real estate market has fallen in the Urban Land Institute’s (ULI) annual list of real estate markets to look out for, placing 30th out of 78 cities studied. Conversely, Austin and Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas, were the top two markets to watch for strong growth. The ULI report was derived from the responses of over 1,500 participants as well as over 500 interviews done by PwC and ULI.
In a separate South and Mid-Atlantic outlook, Houston ranked last out of 32 cities. In this study, participants were quizzed on the local economy, the availability of capital, investor demand, development opportunities, and public and private investment opportunities.

Houston’s poor showing was attributed to investor uncertainty after the fall in oil prices almost collapsed the local energy industry. The report projected minimal growth in the city’s permits and development starts in 2017 but maintained a positive outlook on the city’s employment growth, which has been propped up by gains in energy exploration and the city’s services industry.

Michael Bublé's Vocal Chord Surgery a Success


Mark “Mohammad” Narmuq is the CEO of Narmuq Capital, a commercial lending firm located in Houston, Texas. One of Mark Narmuq’s favorite musicians is Canadian singer Michael Bublé. Bublé recently underwent vocal chord surgery that had him on the sidelines, but the surgery has gone smoothly.

Back in May, the “Haven’t Met You Yet” singer announced via Twitter that he had to cancel a handful of performances and appearances while he underwent vocal chord surgery. One such appearance was The Canadian Governor General Performance Arts Award Gala, where the singer was set to be honored for his career. Instead, it has been postponed until next year’s event.

About a month after his announcement, Bublé posted a video on Instagram of him and his doctor, announcing that the surgery went well. Just for fun, Bublé croaked out a line of R. Kelly’s, “I Believe I Can Fly,” to which his doctor suggested the crooner get “a little more voice rest.” With more than 50 million records sold and multiple awards to his name, it is going to take more than a few months of absence to dim the star’s light.
