Abs Without Ever Doing Crunches

Now I know that personally I would never want a six pack, I just like a flat, tight, slightly defined tummy. Most people rely on crunches to give themselves decent looking abs, but do yourself a favor and drop crunches, reverse crunches, sit-ups, machine crunches and other spine-crushing movements out of your routine. Crunches are terrible for the spinal cord and your posture, so let’s read on about a better way for toning our abs.

Crunches Will Give You Okay Looking Abs

A Stripper’s Diet & Fitness Regime

Okay so I thought I would do a post on strippers because they have hot bodies and I thought it would be interesting to read about how they stay in shape. I also wanted to do this post because in this case, the stripper actually mentions that when she works out, she works out hard and strong. Proof that to be hot you need to be strong,  and also that using weights will not make you bulky. So let’s continue reading…

A Low Body Fat Percentage Makes Your Face More Attractive

Most people never really talk about how losing fat makes your face look thinner and more attractive. The face is pretty much the first thing people notice when they talk to you, and it’s pretty easy to tell what kind of shape someone is in according to their face. People with higher body fat percentages usually have a chubbier face and their neckline and cheekbones are masked under a layer of pudgy fat. The reason models must have low body fat percentages is because it’s simply sexier and more attractive. A higher body fat percentage can tend to camouflage what makes a person’s face unique and different.

Jessica Alba Body – What We Can Learn From Her Fitness Regime

Jessica Alba is famous for her flawless figure, and I personally believe Jessica has the perfect combination of lean muscle and yet a skinny-thin figure. Jessica’s trainer, Ramona Braganza, says Jessica uses circuit training combined with intense cardio for her razor sharp body. So Jessica cleary works hard and intense for her body, and her hard work sure pays off, considering she is widely viewed as one of the world’s most beautiful women. So what can we learn from Jessica Alba’s fitness regime?

Turbulence Training – The Most Efficient Fat Loss Program?

If you have heard of Turbulence Training by Craig Ballantyne, then I am sure you know how efficient it really is. I discovered Turbulence Training about a year ago and I have been using the work outs every since. They are short, effective, intense and transform my body quicker than I could ever of imagined. The best part is there is there is no gym required, the workouts are no longer than 20 minutes, and the only equipment you need are some dumbbells and your own body weight, that’s it!

High Intensity Interval Training – A New Outlook On “Cardio”

I hit up my gym 3 times per week, and usually stay for only about 30 minutes. I end up leaving the gym completely obliterated, drenched in sweat, my heart pounding and severely fatigued. But what could possibly put me in such a state of severe oxygen debt in only 30 minutes? The answer, High Intensity Interval Training, or HIIT. The funny thing is, when I first start my work out there is usually some out of shape guy or girl on the elliptical machine or walking on the treadmill, and when I leave the gym, there are still there. They are usually watching t.v. and haven’t even broken a sweat, and I am already done with my workout plus my metabolism is through the roof. How could someone spend so much time “working out” but never experience any fat loss results?
