Swiss Ball Abdominals Workout

Swiss Ball Abdominals Workout

Most people do their abdominals workout at the end of their workouts. I prefer to do my abs on non-weight lifting days, which in my case is Tuesday and Thursday. If you go that route and you prefer to do your workouts at home, I would suggest getting yourself a Swiss ball. These are easy to store at home, reasonably cheap, and have plenty of different uses, not just for an abdominals workout. I am going to assume you have one and list different exercises. If you are out of shape, I’d suggest getting a set of light dumbbells with your Swiss ball and spend a couple of weeks waking up those sleeping muscles. Your ball will probably come with exercises; feel free to pick and choose as you please. Start off slow and don’t worry about feeling clumsy at first. You’ll have good balance after a couple of weeks. Sitting on the ball will feel completely natural after a month. Got2ManUP!

Sprint and core workout not for the soft at heart

Sprinting is a great way to improve cardiovascular, agility and build a leaner tighter body. This sprint and core workout is a tough workout and should only be done if your in really good to great shape. If you’re not at this time, you can jog through this workout and build up to sprinting. This should be done 2 days a week.

How To Avoid Common Weight Lifting Injuries

May 11, 2018 by Rob Denny Leave a Comment

Getting injured in the weight room can be a difficult issue to handle. For experienced weightlifters, the big issue is just walking around in pain for a little while. But for a beginner, there is a much bigger challenge to avoid common weight lifting injuries.

If you are new to strength training, getting injured can cause you to rethink exactly why you’re doing this in the first place. If you get hurt really badly, it will probably be the end of your fitness program altogether.

Burn More Calories Without Doing Extra Cardio

Burn More Calories Following These Tips

I like to read a lot of articles about fitness. I find studies interesting and with the internet today, you can find many talking about how to burn more calories without doing extra cardio. Like everyone, I like to eat. The problem is when you get older, eating more is not good – the old “goes straight to my gut” thing. While I eat healthy the majority of the time, if you’ve read my blog for any period of time you know I am not willing to cut everything I love out of my life no matter how “bad” it is for me. I sneak in the occasional doughnut, bowl of ice cream, cold beer to name a few of my unhealthy favorites. There’s one other thing I do on a daily basis that lets me get away with these “treats”. I move my ass, daily by walking going to the gym 5 days a week, playing tennis 3-4 times a week. The truth if the matter is I enjoy doing all of these things so it’s not a big deal to me.
