Summary: Fitness Articles and Tips
Stay up to date on my fitness articles and tips to help you get fit, lose weight, build muscle and finally get that body transformation you’ve always wanted.
Some of my favorite techniques, whether your goal is fat loss,
muscle mass, or both, include density training, rest-pause/drop
sets and antagonistic supersets. There are a lot of different ways
to incorporate these techniques into your workout routine . Density
training has been popularized by people like Vince Gironda and
Charles Staley (with his Escalating Density Training). There is a
lot that goes into EDT but the basic technique works like this. You
work in what Charles refers

If you have no time to exercise or you’re just too tired to workout
after a long day at work (or just can’t get up early enough to hit
the gym) then I’ve got something for you to try. This doesn’t only
work if you have no time to exercise, it will also help you to make
working out a habit if you have trouble staying consistent with
your workout program. You know what I mean, you hit the gym three
or four times per week for a month and then take two months off.
That won’t get you

The recommended post workout meal nutrition plan is to take in a
meal of fast acting proteins and carbohdrates. After your workout
your body is hungry for the important nutrients needed to make
positive body transformation changes. It’s been shown that a post
workout meal or shake consisting of protein and carbs helped to
boost training recovery. Glycogen, a complex carbohydrate stored in
muscle and the liver, is rapidly depleted from muscles during
intense exercise, whether it’s using

What is metabolic resistance training? It is, in its simplest form,
the combination of intense strength training with aerobic
conditioning. Metabolic resistance training (also known as
metabolic conditioning) trains three major biological systems,
muskuloskeletal, circulatory and respiratory. Most people perform
their resistance training and their cardio, or aerobic workouts,
separately. But, for the most part, this isn’t how we function. And
it’s definitely not how most athletes

A Robert Downey Jr Workout depends on which role for which the
actor is preparing. While he’s fit, ripped and muscular in both
Iron Man and Sherlock Holmes the two different characters required
two different physiques. For Iron Man the Robert Downey Jr Workout
focused more on building muscle mass while staying relatively lean.
For Sherlock Holmes, he lost that extra muscle mass, carrying 25
muscular pounds less than he did for his role as Tony Stark. The
amazing thing is that

A good work out schedule is crucial if you wan to get results from
your training program. When you work out is going to be a very
individual thing, based on your life, career, and other
commitments. But that’s not the type of work out schedule I’m
talking about right now. In this instance, I’m talking about your
actual training program, not whether you train before or after
work, or whether you take off from training on weekends. I’ve
discussed the concept of the split routine

Circuit training workout and exercises can be a great way to
accelerate the results you get from your training. However, I’m not
talking about the circuit training workouts from the past. We
aren’t doing a bunch of easy circuits on a variety of machines (or
one of those multi-exercise stations) to “isolate” different
muscles. Nope, today’s circuit training exercises are much more
effective than the routines of the past. A more popular name is
metabolic resistance training, which

Hindu squats and Hindu push ups have been around a long, long time.
They are variations of the classic bodyweight squat and push up and
have more recently been popularized in Matt Furey’s Combat
Conditioning book. Hindu squats and Hindu push ups are fantastic
bodyweight exercises that you can use as part of your overall
fitness program. But let’s face it, for most people, just doing
Hindu squats and push ups every morning would be a huge step in
their fitness levels, as well as the

My name is Gregg and I’ve been involved with organized sports since
the age of five. When I hit hit school, I began researching a
variety of training methods outside of sport specific skills, as
well as weight training to improve my sports performance, and like
many others, fell in love with training itself and what it can do
for both your body and mind. I’ve also done a variety of martial
arts, including tae kwon do, BJJ and Wing Chun (Bruce Lee’s

While I have a few I consider the ‘best bicep exercises’, for me,
the best bicep exercise is one you (almost) never see people
perform, at least not for their biceps. And that’s the curl grip
pull up, arms shoulder width, or slightly inside the shoulders. If
you don’t yet have the strength to make this a meaningful exercise,
you can use the lat pulldown machine. This exercise is the
centerpiece for my favorite biceps workout that is part of my free
arm training report you can get ==>

A jump rope workout is a fantastic way to burn a lot of calories,
improve your overall conditioning, and use as part of a metabolic
resistance training program for some serious fat loss. Two great
things about jumping rope is you can take it anywhere and you don’t
need a lot of room to get in a great jump rope workout. You can
also use the jump rope as part of your training program, whether
you’re using weights or just using bodyweight exercises in your
training. You’ll get a lot more
