Having six-pack abs is one of the things most men dream about. After all, who doesn’t love having those lean and firm abs? What are the secrets then to achieving firm abs? Aside from diet and proper exercise and a healthy lifestyle, there is much more you can do to have that six-pack you have always wanted.

Having the proper abs exercise equipment can help you with your abs workout. In fact, we can find different types of tools devoted to making your abs muscles firm and lean. However, it is important to understand that these tools are not designed to magically melt your fat away. You still need dedication plus a healthy lifestyle in order to attain great abs. Needless to say, proper diet, exercise, plus the right equipment for abs exercises go hand in hand. Below is some equipment that can aid you with your abs workouts.

The Bosu Ball             

Also known as the Bosu Balance Trainer, the Bosu Ball is actually a stability ball cut in half and then mounted on a rubber platform. In any form of exercise, having proper balance is very important because it can help prevent injuries while at the same time increase sports performance and improve body function. Thus, with the bosu balance trainer, you get to work on your core muscles to keep your body stable making you work harder to keep your joints stabilized.

Hanging Leg Raisers

These are the most ideal tools for lower abdominal exercises although there are cases when your grip strength limits your ability to focus more on your abdominal muscles. These movements were designed with athletes in mind. How does the equipment benefit the abs then? When your legs are moving, take note that the abs stabilizes the pelvis. The abs muscles help tilt or rotate the pelvis when your legs are in motion thus preventing your lower back from too much arching. However, hanging leg raisers are only advised for people who have good core strength and good flexibility since the equipments requires more pressure on the lower back. If you have lower back injuries or back pain, these equipments might not be good for you.

Ab Wheel

This is perhaps one of the most common abs exercise equipment you can find in the gym. However, before you do routines with the use of ab wheels, make sure your core strength is above average to avoid injuries. It is noted that improper use of the ab wheel can cause extreme lower back pain because of the possibility of too much extension or arching of the back. To avoid this, it is vital to discuss such matters with your gym instructors first.

There practically like hundreds of abs exercise equipment you can find elsewhere these days. And although most of these tools can generally aid you towards your losing bellies, keep in mind that having proper diet and a healthy lifestyle is just as essential. Also, you have to have a sit-down discussion with a professional gym instructor to understand what’s good and what’s not for you. But then again, don’t rely too much on exercise equipment alone. Your dedication to diet and consistency is still what matters most.

Be sure and consult with your physician before attempting any physical activity.  For more on this topic visit: http://truthsixpackabs.net/articles/the-abs-exercise-equipment-you-need/

Yes, you absolutely can achieve a highly effective, fat burning, lean muscle building upper body workout at home with no equipment or with a very inexpensive, yet powerful workout tool. If you want to sculpt your entire upper body as you burn fat at home, these two upper body workouts are the answer.

When you are training to increase the height you can jump you generally do the required squats and plyometrics. But there are other exercises you should be doing that will give you a stronger core and upper body strength. Upper body strength is an important part of the overall strategy to jump higher.

Before beginning any workout, spend at least 10 minutes doing some warm up and basic stretching exercises. A good warm up not only helps to activate the circulation of blood throughout the body but also prevents the muscles and tissues from injury by making them more flexible and supple. Depending on whether you are looking to increase muscle mass or just tone the body you can customize your exercise regime to include either more weights or perform more reps.

Cardio workouts such as running, swimming, hiking, walking and bicycling can be extremely beneficial for sculpting your body. These workouts are capable to boost metabolism in your body, which consequently burn lots of fats. Your exercise session should start with cardio workouts. You can run in your treadmill or do bicycling in a stationary bike from the comforts of your home. One should perform these exercises for at least 10 minutes daily.

This pushing exercise is the most efficient way to gain size and strength in the chest, shoulders and triceps. It is far superior to the bench press because you’re moving your body through space. The extra stability required in this exercise recruits a lot more muscles to come into play to assist in the movement. It is also a lot more functional, and trains the body as it was meant to work, as one collective machine

When looking to build upper body strength, many people get confused — there are just so many to choose from. But my favorite by far is the kind of training that gave people like Bruce Lee and Charles Atlas their phenomenal upper body strength. For those of us who always strive to find new ways to be the best in all we do, this training can be key to hitting new levels of success.

These are one of the upper body workouts for women that help in improving the size & shape of arms. You would need to sit on a chair or bench to perform this exercise. Place your hands on the edge of chair and point the fingers forward. Now start lifting your back and bend down towards the ground. Then get back to the original position.

Upper Trapezius Stretch – Again a sitting position should be assumed on a chair, and your shoulders should be relaxed. Your chin should then be brought down to your left collar bone, ensuring that your upper back doesn’t become rounded. Your head should then be turned slightly to the right, which should result in a slight pulling sensation for the right hand side of your neck

These are called core workouts because they workout more than just one muscle. These are the upper body exercises that you have probably heard of, but maybe you don’t really understand why they are so important to building strong muscles. If you think you understand why these are so important for gaining muscle mass, I still recommend reading on.

1. Bench press – You often hear guys talking about how much they bench as a testament to how strong they are. The bench press primarily works out your chest, shoulders and triceps. These are the three muscle groups that many people notice when you take your shirt off. This is also why many guys want to gain muscle mass in this area. The bench press is a full upper body workout, which is why it is very common for people to ask how much another person benches, as it tells a lot about ones upper body strength. If any one of the main muscles are weak (chest, shoulders and triceps), your bench press is going to reflect that.

2. Shoulder Press – This is another core upper body workout because it also works out a lot of the upper body. Obviously the main muscle group that the shoulder press works out is the shoulder. But if you have ever done a shoulder press, then you probably know it also works out the triceps. While this is not quite as good as the bench press, it is still a good compound core workout.

3. Inclined press – this is basically right between the shoulder press and bench press. It goes about half way between shoulder and bench press, and is slightly closer to the shoulder press in that it mainly works the shoulders. However, it does also work the chest.

So that’s it, those are the three main core upper body workouts. Now, many people will probably say that there are other core upper body workouts, but those are the main ones. It is also important to understand that there are variations to these exercises. For example, you can use dumbbells instead of a bar. They also have machines for these workouts which work your muscles slightly differently. You should also keep in mind that these workouts work out your abs and other areas of your mid section (hence the name “core” workouts).

The Importance of Lower Body Workouts

by Bidz dela Cruz

We live in a world where people are becoming more and more fond in shortcuts. Desktops have icons as shortcuts to access files, instameals are manufactured to as shortcuts to cooking the real viands, Abflex machines and the likes are popularized as shortcuts to avoid doing crunches and “still attain” a well-trimmed abdominals, and gym instructors being pressured by rich busy clients to come up with a fitness program that is a shortcut to a total body workout program.

I would like to put emphasis on the latter issue: the “shortcut workout program”. There is no such thing as a shortcut workout program, only a shortened workout program which means that you have to spend less hours in the gym because you have something to catch after. But this means slow and poor fitness results. However, a person that is doing a shortened program still has to workout all his body parts and muscle groups. There is no such thing as spot training. There are clients walking in the gym who asks gym instructors what exercise is best to get rid of their big bellies or trim their fat arms and thighs. Of course a good and educated gym instructor will tell them to work everything out, not just the abs. Because doing abdominal workouts alone will only cause body injuries and pains without even minimizing the belt size.

Such is the common issue of busy or miseducated people. They thought that since most photographs and video footages frame people’s upper bodies only most of the time, then they justify that it is enough to workout the upper body only and hide the chicken legs underneath the pants. Of course who would want to take a normal picture of you with only your lower body in the frame? And yes, if you always have a whole body picture, then chances are you are being deprived from close-ups. So normally, you would want a picture where your face is detailed enough to be appreciated, thus the norm of framing the upper body in pictures, and thus the abnormal practice of upper body workouts only.

Our lower body supports our upper body. It is what makes us stable, gives us balance, and makes us move from one place to another with ease. If you have a buffed upper body and yet have chicken legs, you are most likely not stable because your lower body could not support the weight of your upper body. You could be easily thrown off balance. What’s the use of having a buffed upper body if one blow could already knock you off and you could not stand anymore? You better hide that upper body than flaunt it and attract a punch or two from somebody with issues who thinks you’re showing-off. That’s one bad thing, and saddening indeed.

Now you are starting to be convinced that you need top workout your lower body as well. Just think of the many cases of heart attacks and heart failures. Heart problems are brought about by neglecting to train the heart. The best way to train the heart is through cardiovascular exercises. These are exercises that requires you to sweat for a minimum of 30 minutes non-stop. These exercises also trains the lungs and your breathing. Moreover, these exercises are mostly executed with the major play of the lower body. They include: running, jogging, dancing, walking, swimming, playing basketball, volleyball, tennis, table tennis, and other cardiovascular induced sports. All these activities need the lower body to execute them. Having a poor lower body will mean poor performance in these activities. And if you are less involved in these activities, you will have a high chance of having a heart attack.

So do not shortcut your workouts. Train not only the upper body but the lower body as well and live healthier and longer!

In recent years several athletes, fitness gurus or personal trainers insist that strength training is where it’s at for both weight-loss, longevity and (of course), muscle building. Some suggest abandoning cardio-vascular exercise altogether.

To resolve the cardio vs. strength conundrum, I collected studies and talked to experts to find out how each form of exercise would fare. Whether you want to get lean, burn calories, or win a marathon, I’ve unraveled which type of training you should dedicate your efforts to:

To burn fat, and keep it off:
Cardio: On average, cardio has a slight advantage when you account for calories burned during exercise. You’ll burn 10 to 12 calories per minute while running or cycling. Compare this to about 8 to 10 calories per minute lifting weights, according Dr. Wayne Westcott, Ph.D., director of research at South Shore YMCA in Quincy, Massachusetts.
Strength training: Weight lifting spikes your metabolism for an hour after your workout. This is when your body arduously recovers from muscle injury. That means that you’ll burn an additional 25% more calories after a strength training session.  For example, if you burned 300 calories while lifting weights you’ll burn an additional 75 calories after you’ve left the gym.  If you hoist heavier weights or rest less than 30 seconds between sets, you can burn even more calories.
Additionally, for every pound of muscle that you build into your body, you’ll burn an extra 40 calories a day. That’s about 4 pounds of fat burned per year without doing anything more. Muscle burns about 90% of the calories you consume. Therefore, it is safe to assume that the more muscle you build into your body, the higher your calorie-burning (metabolism) capacity will be.

Conclusion: For fat burning – strength training.

To relieve stress:
Cardio: According to a 2005 study in the European Journal of Sports Science, just 15 minutes of aerobic activity two to three times a week can significantly reduce anxiety.  If you bring that up to 3 – 5 days per week, you can reduce fatigue by almost 50%. According to Dr. Madhukar Trivedi, M.D., director of the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center Mood Disorders Research Program and Clinic, cardio-vascular exercise boosts serotonin levels in the brain.  Serotonin is a key neurotransmitter involved with relieving symptoms of depression.  
Strength training: Researchers observe promising results of the mood-altering effects of lifting weights. However, more studies are needed to determine the duration, intensity, and techniques needed to match cardio’s benefits.

Conclusion: To relieve stress – cardio.

Injury Prevention
Cardio: Unfortunately, the frequent high-impact and repetitive nature of cardio puts a lot of pressure on your ligaments, joints, tendons, muscles and the cartilage in between.
Strength training: According to researchers in a 2006 study of the American Journal of Sports Medicine, a balance-training program reduces the risk of ankle sprains among athletes.  Lead study author Dr. Tim McGuine, Ph.D., senior athletic trainer and research coordinator at the University of Wisconsin-Madison says, “Functional strength training teaches your brain to allow muscle contractions that are quick enough to prevent or minimize injuries.” Functional exercises include lunges, rows, squats, and presses that force you to bend at multiple joints. Involve your core and improve your balance by working on stability balls, Bosu or stability disks.

Conclusion: To prevent injuries – strength.

Longevity
Cardio: “Nothing compares with cardio for optimizing longevity. It reduces the risk of obesity, heart disease, high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, osteoporosis, stroke, and even certain types of cancer,” says Mike Meyers, Ph.D., an American College of Sports Medicine — certified trainer and director of the Human Performance Research Laboratory at West Texas A&M University.  According to a 2007 study published in the Journal of Internal Medicine, a stronger heart pumps more blood with every beat.  It also circulates oxygen more efficiently throughout your body.  Finally, aerobic activity decreases inflammation around the heart and may increase the “good” cholesterol in your blood by up to 8% in just 8 weeks.
Strength training: In a 2006 study conducted by the National Institutes of Health, strength training just twice a week can decrease intra-abdominal fat.  This is the fat that constricts blood vessels and wraps around your organs.

Conclusion: To add years to your life – cardio.

Improve self-esteem
Cardio: Athletes have high confidence levels because of the sense of accomplishment they feel whenever they cross the finish line.
Strength training: Strength training rushes blood to your muscles, making them expand and appear more toned. Confidence also grows because of lifting heavy weights. Some people get such confidence and self-esteem out of shaping and toning, bodybuilding, and powerlifting, that many of the other benefits are almost secondary for them. In a 2006 study at McMaster University in Ontario, female subjects’ self image improved, particularly by the physical results of increasing the amounts they can lift.

Conclusion: To improve self esteem – strength

Endurance and Power
Cardio: “The best way to train for an endurance event is by practicing it,” Meyers says. “Swimmers, for example, need to learn how to breathe properly, and cyclists need to hone cadence.”
Strength training: Strength training is fundamental in improving speed especially for core and legs.  Plyometrics improves stride power (runners) or pedal power (bikers).  According to Diane Vives, C.S.C.S., owner of Vives Training Systems in Austin, Texas.

Conclusion: To improve endurance and power – draw.

In today’s busy world couples have less and less time to spend with one another. It is hard to get the quality time needed to connect on any level. Why not make workout time couple time as well. Sure the full body workout routine will be a bit different for each of you but it will be time well spent. The fitness experts all say that the couples they see working out together are happier, we know they are healthier.

You can design a routine that allows you to work together to build better bodies and better relationships. Exercising together will give you added accountability not only to their individual workouts but also to each other. It is also a great motivational tool. If you are already members of a gym then it is only a matter of scheduling your workout times to coincide. Some gyms have trainers that already offer couples training programs.

It is important that you seek medical advice before beginning any exercise program. You doctor can assess the state of your health and make recommendations for the amount of time you should workout as well as how strenuous a workout you can attempt. High intensity full body workouts will put a lot of strain on your system and any underlying heart condition could be aggravated by it. This will better help you to design a program with different levels of intensity if necessary for one or both of you.

You can also make it a joint effort to combine your full body workouts with a new healthier eating plan. If you are not out of shape eating healthier will give you the required fuel to sustain you during your workouts. If you are over weight you can tailor a diet that gives you maximum weight loss.

It may be necessary for beginners to start out with a professional trainer. This is necessary in order for you to learn how to perform the exercises properly. Once you have the techniques down you can move on to doing them on your own. Because the goals of men and women working out is different you have to be careful when helping your wife or girlfriend design a full body workout. The differences are also psychological as well as physical so be understanding if she cannot keep the pace that you are used to.

Working out together can be a fun way to make a lasting foundation for your body and your health. You do not have to do every thing in the routine together as long as you design some elements that allow you to connect. The key to having a great time in a couples workout is that there be no bullying. There is a big difference between motivating a person and bullying them. Some people respond well to bullying while others do not. Make the most of the time you have together by keeping the atmosphere light and carefree.

The beauty of doing your full body workout together is that you can spend your time building on your friendship as well as your bodies.

I am going to show you some strength training workouts for women to get toned. I want you to understand from the start that these workouts will get you lean and sexy. Do not think that because you are going to be lifting weights, you will turn into a muscular freak? This will not happen!

Women do not have enough testosterone in their body’s to put on much muscle mass. Even if you could put on decent muscle, you will not go to bed one night looking like you normally do. Then wake up the next morning looking like superman. (Unless you went to a fancy dress party).

Advantages Of Strength Training Workouts For Women

So, now that you know, you will not turn into a gigantic beast, I would like you to know some benefits. You will find it easier to keep working out, if you know why you are doing it.

The benefits of strength training workouts for women are:

Denser and firmer muscles

Makes it easier to lose fat and maintain fat levels

Get stronger (duh)

Get faster

If you are training to look good and feel better about yourself, the top two benefits probably stick out for you. Yes, strength training will give you denser and firmer muscles. It is not doing high reps with water bottles that tone a muscle, despite what you might hear. This is a huge myth for training; higher reps are for endurance.

A pleasant surprise about strength training workouts for women is that they can help you lose weight. This is basically because muscle is a massive fat burner, because it takes a lot of energy to maintain them. Therefore, the more muscle you have, the more calories you burn while resting.

Finally, strength training will get you stronger (what a surprise). It will also get you faster with the correct training, should you wish it. If you look at male 100 meter sprinters you will see that they are very muscular and fast. If you work on strength and power like they do, you will get a lot faster (without the massive muscle mass).

Strength Training Workouts For Women To Get Toned

Okay, you have seen the benefits and a quick introduction to strength training workouts for women. Now lets get into the real meat here and see the workouts.

I will give you two options here, the first one, is a strength training workout for women to get toned. This workout is more for body shaping and strength.

The second workout type is more for actual raw strength, although you can lose weight and tone up. With this workout if you wish, with a few modifications.

Anyway, the first workout to get strong and toned uses circuit style training. You can see it below, with an explanation after:

Circuit 1:

Bench press (dumbbell or barbel)

Bent-over row (dumbbell or barbel)

Squat (favourite variation)

Dumbbell swing

Active Rest:

2-5 minutes light aerobic activity (slow jog / walk / skipping rope / cycle)

Circuit 2:

Deadlift

Military / shoulder press (dumbbell or barbell)

Chin up

Step ups (or lunges)

If you do not know what circuit training is; you basically do one exercise then move onto the next as quickly as possible. Then go through all the rest of the exercises, in the circuit until completed.

For example: on circuit 1, you would do a set of bench presses, followed by the bent-over row, then onto a squat and finish with dumbbell swings. That’s one circuit completed!

You would then take a break for 1 minute and do another circuit, until you have completed 3 total circuits.

You should aim for 5-8 reps for each exercise. The first set should be around 7-8 reps, but will get lower in the next set, as you get more fatigued.

(Don’t worry if any of this sounds confusing, it is a breeze after you do it once)

Once you have completed 3 circuits of circuit 1, you do some light aerobic activity of your choosing. Be it, slow jogging, walking or whatever you prefer. The idea is to keep the heart rate up, but recover from the lifting.

After the active recovery period, you do circuit 2 in the same way as the first.

So to clarify: do 3 rounds of circuit 1 for 5-8 reps for each exercises; then do 2-5 minutes of light aerobic activity; before moving onto circuit 2 and do 3 rounds on it to finish.

You can then go check yourself out in the mirror with some posing (but that is optional).

I understand if you are concerned, that this workout may not look like the usual workouts you see thrown about in magazines and the like. But they are usually written purely to sell magazines and are purposely made to be easy.

If you want to see good results you have to work for it, so test yourself and you will be surprised with how much you can achieve.

Strength Training Workouts For Women

You may remember that I said I would provide you with some proper workouts for strength. As in workouts that will work on raw strength and power. I will show you these workouts now.

But before I do, I want you understand that women should actually train the same way that men do. Girls always ask about workouts for them. In reality, they should be doing the same style of training as men use for strength.

Total Body Workouts for Extreme Fitness

Many people think about building muscle as having nolife outside the gym and devoting hours in the gym like a monk in a monastery. Perhaps the only way to lose unwanted body fat, chisel your body into a hot muscular physique is by spending hour after hour over the rusty iron day in, day out and year in, year out.

Total Body Workouts:

This is the most effective way to workout whether your looking to lose fat or gain muscle. Although hard work is required, extreme fitness demands one to do intense maximum effort workouts. Total body workouts can make you progress faster and it easily fits in your schedule. This is very convenient if you are looking forward to achieving extreme fitness but find it hard to hold on to a single workout routine.

Genuine total body workouts are done by athletes with the goal of developing maximum muscle contraction using heavy weights, makes room for full recovery so one can actually grow and continue to train hard plus it also prevents burnout which is inevitable due to excess training.

So if you are is ready for extreme fitness, here is all there is to know about total body workouts:

Total body workouts are a huge time saver. The biggest plus about having the whole body trained all at once is probably having to go to the gym less frequently; perhaps around two to three times for every seven days would be enough.

Another advantage of total body workouts is that you don’t need to spend two or more hours of strenuous exercise in the gym for every session; you should only spend forty-five minutes to one hour in the gym for every session. So that’s just three to four hours per week in the gym right? With total body workouts, it is all about the quality of exercise you do per session and not the quantity, nor even the amount of time you allot per session.

Total body workouts boost the cardiovascular system for extreme fitness. One must allot two to four sets for every body part into the one hour session. Jam packed with exercising, each one hour session then gets the heart and the rest of the cardiovasular system pumping and up to speed in a flash.

Now feeling pumped up, next find out what rules does one have to follow when engaging in total body workouts.

Total body workouts should be done three times per week. This is so easy isn’t it? What is great about this is that there is time spared during rest days so that you could also do some cardio exercise sessions instead of depending on cardio execises one normally does at the end of each work out session which after all, are not at all very effective.

Heavy lifting is strongly advised. Contrary to popular belief, especially among athletes. It is not true that it is good to get trapped on training lightly than one actually could so as to conserve energy for the other body parts that will come later in the routine. What is true is that one cannot achieve optimal progress if one is not training heavy, no matter which program that person is doing.

One exercise only per muscle group. This is very easy to follow and is also important. Doing basic exercises which are also intense means you do not have to do another different exercise for that body part.

Keep work out short. Resistance training affects the natural homones of the body connected to muscle building. Intense exercising boosts the testosterone levels and long work outs increase those of catabolic cortisol. Sixty minutes of work out allows you to get the best of both worlds.

Now with this convenient and powerful total body workout regimen, you can now experience extreme fitness.

If you workout out in a gymnasium, take a look around. You may almost everyone doing isolation exercises ( biceps curls, leg curls, triceps extensions, etc . ) recently, it has become apparent this is not a good way to workout. Employing a complete full body| total body} workout instead of isolation exercises can decrease the quantity of time you spend in the gym AND get you better results!

Total body workouts are one of the finest paths to get fantastic results quickly and efficiently. Full body work-outs balance out the body in order that it works together as a functional unit. Unlike traditional exercise routines which tend to focus on isolating one area of the body, a total body workout will burn calories at a much quicker rate as the heart must pump blood all over the body instead of one muscle grouping. Each area of the body must work hard at the same time which requires far more energy. Interpretation – you get miles better ends in a far shorter amount of time.

A good total body workout should include multi-planar and multi joint movements and put greater stress on balance, coordination, agility, stamina, strength, and power. Each of these areas is imperative for developing a strong, lean, powerful body that does not break down as we get older. Normal workouts lack in many of these areas giving you a poor workout. Conventional exercise programs force the body to compensate using stronger muscles, like the chest and biceps. When this happens, the stronger muscles continue to get stronger and the weaker muscles continue to get weaker. The body gets more out of balance which can lead to wounds and poor overall results. When you target just a few muscle groups that you need to make gains in, while neglecting the others, you actually slow down your results! by balancing out the body, you get yourself on the fast lane to your goals. That’s why a total total body|n extensive} workout is far more superior to the normal isolate muscle exercises you’ll see the majority doing in the gymnasium.
