Lean Lower Body Workout

Subscribe for more workouts: insanehomefatloss.com?c=3&k=160 In this episode of Insane Home Fat Loss, we’re doing a KILLER lower body workout! This workout is great to tone your entire lower body — glutes, quads, hamstrings, calves, everything. It’s an awesome workout for your legs, and like all our workouts it doesn’t require any equipment. It even works your lower back and core! It also tremendously improves your balance and coordination. Here’s how it’s done. ONE LEGGED DEADLIFT – 10 REPS EACH LEG Hold a chair for balance, and stand on one leg. Extend your leg that’s not on the ground straight behind you, while you extend your arm on the same side straight in front of you. On the 10th rep, hold the position for 10 seconds. ADVANCED NINJA VARIATION: don’t use a chair for balance. HOPPING LUNGES – 10 REPS EACH LEG: Get into a lunge position, with one leg far behind you. Engage your calf muscle on your rear leg, and put your weight on the ball of your foot. Quickly hop barely off the ground, and repeat. HOW TO PUT IT ALL TOGETHER: Do four sets **FOR EACH LEG** for each exercise, and alternate between the two exercises. By the end you’ll have done four sets on each leg for the one legged deadlifts, and four sets for each leg for the hopping lunges. — And that’s it y’all! Try it out, I think it will be a great way for you to get the lean and toned lower body you want. This is a great way for girls to get the toned legs and butt you’ll love to show off in shorts or skirts

See more tips and exercises on her blog. ===================== ABOUT FLAVIA DELMONTE & FULL BODY LICIOUS! ====================== I have always been connected to fitness in one way or another. As I was growing up, sports were a big part of my life. After attending college for Nursing, I began to have a slightly unhealthy lifestyle for the first time. I began to eat ‘convenient’ food and was socializing over beer and wings. Because I had a busy full time career, I didn’t make time for sports and because I didn’t know anything about weight lifting exercies for women. I gained 15 pounds of fat, mostly around my mid-section. My husband says I could have been the face for “Flabbylicious Fitness” if I didn’t change my ways. I was 24 and rolley for the first time in my life and never dreamed of having a fitness model body. It was really depressing. I knew I needed a change. I joined a gym and hired a personal trainer to learn the best women exercises as I was intimidated by weights and all the machines for female fitness. I lost 12 pounds within the first month of working out. I saw muscle in my arms that I had never seen before. Of course I LOVED IT! The next few years was an on again, off again type of women exercise. When I was about to go on vacation, I would workout, drop weight and when I got back from vacation, I wasn

Total Body Workout – The Never fail System a Workout For All Part 1

Total Body Workout – The Never fail System a Workout For All Part 1

Article by sacha tarkovsky









Going to the gym has become part of the lives of a lot of men and women, but many people feel they cant get going or don’t have the time.

Getting the right routine is never easy, but with a total body workout, and the Never fail system, you cannot help but succeed.

You need some dedication, some free time, the “smart diet” (in part 2 of this article) and will…that’s it.

The Never fail System.

The Never fail system works in the following way. It conditions your body and mind to the goal of getting in shape.

In fact, the basic principles of the Never fail system can be applied to any area of your life you wish to improve. Here are the basic principles

1. Right Resolve.

You must decide and believe in your decision to make a positive change

2. Time Management.

You must put aside regular time segments, on the days required, and do no deviate from them.

3. Envision the Result.

See yourself in your expected success mode. Do not envision yourself with your current state, but actually visualize yourself the way you wish yourself to be.

4. Treat Setbacks as Stepping Stones and NOT Obstacles.

If you are building a house and break a few nails, it doesn’t mean to stop building! There will be setbacks, lots of them. Look at them as stepping stones to your goal only. Something like tests you must pass.

The Total Body Workout – Preparation

You must set aside 3 days per week, and no more. You must follow the smart diet. You must begin slowly and keep at it, without deviation.

Find a gym that is not too crowded, or too social. It must have a good selection of the modern gym machinery and some relaxing areas, like a sauna, swimming pool, and so on.

Get some basic record keeping forms, or make them yourself to write down your routines, the weight increases, and your progress. Get yourself some comfortable workout clothes, and shoes and you are READY.

The Total Body Workout – Basic Routine (90 days)

You will start with the legs, move to waist and stomach, then back and arms, and that is it.

Do three sets of 8 repetitions, the first a warm-up set, with a low weight, the second with a weight in between your warm-up weight and your workout goal weight (for that exercise), and the third set your goal weight.

Try to increase your goal weight ever so slightly from week to week. The workout session will last no more than 45 minutes.

Ask any gym instructor to show you the correct form of the exercises below (done with various types of gym equipment)LegsExercise 1 – The leg press

Exercise 2 – Leg extension

Exercise 3 – Leg curl

Exercise 4 – Standing calf raise

Midsection

Exercise 5 – Crunch

Exercise 6 – Back extension

Upper Body

Exercise 7 – Underhand-grip laterals pull down

Exercise 8 – Machine chest press

Exercise 9 – Machine row

Exercise 10 – Lateral raise

Exercise 11 – Seated dumbbell concentration curl (each arm)

Exercise 12 – Triceps pushdown

While you are still sweating, eat a banana and drink some water. Don’t eat again for 3 hours. Drink all the water you wish.

This routine will last 90 days, and a follow up routine utilizing the same principle of total body workout, section by section with more difficult exercises can be used. At the end of 90 days, you are a new you, you will see, and proficient at the gym.

Its simple, effective and anyone can do it and you can read more about it in parts 2 and 3 of this article.

Can a Lower Body Workout without Weights Deliver Fast Results?

Can a Lower Body Workout without Weights Deliver Fast Results?

Article by Mandy Gibbons









No one wants to start living their life in the gym yet everyone wants to look great. Time is one of the biggest reasons given for not working out and it is one of the biggest obstacles most people have to overcome when they decide they want to get healthier. So, it only makes sense that you would be wondering if a lower body workout without weights can deliver results just as fast or effectively as a workout using weights.

Let’s start with a quick note on the danger of expecting super fast results. You of course should see some improvements in your body within a reasonable amount of time, but you aren’t going to do a few squats or walk around the block doing lunges and wake up tomorrow morning with knockout thighs and a tight butt. No lower body workout program can do that for you even if it does incorporate weights.

If you start out expecting super fast results you are setting yourself up for disappointment when miracles don’t happen. You will end up throwing a spanner in the works with your workout program and going backwards with your progress, rather than forwards. Expecting a fast fix isn

Nordic Walking – A Machine-Free Total Body Workout

Nordic Walking – A Machine-Free Total Body Workout

Most people, myself included, have been caught up in the hype of exercise equipment by Advertisements that make you believe that you need to have expensive equipment and/or machines, or go to a gym, in order to get a great workout. Well, here is the truth. You only need a pair of legs that can move and a couple of walking poles to get a total body workout.

 

We have all seen the ads for the Bowflex , the great abs sculpting contraption and many other types of home base gym sets with the top fit actors and models trying to lure us in to spend our hard earned cash. I must say I was one of them. After spending thousands on great big dust collector I just had to get rid of the thing. I am in no way bashing home gym equipment. These machines are high tech and built extremely well and the physics that go with them when used properly will benefit the user. Unfortunately over 90 percent of the people (like myself) who purchase home gyms only use them for a short time and the novelty wears off soon enough and in return is something often looked at when walked buy. Although we are a people who want to get in shape and feel better about ourselves we forget the simple thing that we do on a daily basis that can help maintain a healthy body and cardiovascular system, and that is walking. We have heard the term ” walk a block a day” many times from TV ads and our phys E.D teachers to help keep us fit. With this in mind there is a better way to walk that can be the new way for a total body work out, and this the Nordic Walking Technique.

Nordic walking has it’s origins from off season ski training. An activity used for decades know as ski walking by cross country skiers who wanted to stay in shape and build stamina during the off season. It quickly became a way for people who had knee pain and back to pain to walk again reducing the amount of pain in their joints.

The first specially designed walking poles with optional rubber tips (for hard surfaces, such as concrete and pavement) were designed by Tom Rutlin. Rutlin’s designs and enthusiasm helped to urbanize fitness pole walking.

In 1997, Finnish ski pole manufacturer Exel, working with Marko Kantaneva, introduced the trademarked Nordic Walker poles. “Nordic walking” became the accepted term for fitness walking with specially designed poles. Although fitness walking with poles has been relatively slow to be embraced in North America, the Nordic skiing savvy Northern Europeans quickly embraced this dry land hybrid of two of their favorite fitness activities, Nordic skiing and walking, and a little more than a decade after its introduction in Europe, an estimated 8-10 million people (mostly in Northern Europe) have taken up fitness walking with specially designed poles as a regular form of exercise. ( Wikipedia)

This is a great outdoor fitness activity that can help maintain a healthy life style and to meet new people. There are clubs that walk daily, weekly and monthly that have some great times together. No matter if you are the fitness elite who want to power walk with this technique or just stroll along with a friend enjoying each others company. Either way healthy living is key to longevity and Nordic Walking is great way to achieve that.

Total Body Workout at Home

Total Body Workout at Home

Gyms now days can cost a fortune and can be very time consuming. They can essentially rob you of both time and money. In fact they are a rather archaic form of finding a way to exercise. With the advent of the internet, one can now find exactly what they need and want to do as a form of total body workout exercise, and discover a way to accomplish their chosen workout in the privacy of their own home.

Instead of expensive equipment for your ab workout, what you need are appropriate clothing, enough space, and maybe, an exercise mat. Begin with only a few crunches. A very useful kind is the vertical crunch. Lying on your back, place your hands behind your head. Slowly, while lifting your legs up, begin bending your knees. Maintaining such position, raise your body in the direction of your knees and then lower it again slowly. You can begin with ten repetitions, increasing the count as you go along.

Jumping Jack Stints. This is surely one of the easiest approaches in burning fats quickly. Jumping rocks your entire body, thus breaking down fatty elements in all areas. A 2-minute jump using a rope delivers a burning sensation. How much more if you do it for 30-45 minutes? For beginners, you can just take it for 20 minutes. As you go along, you can increase the longevity of execution.

]]>

Jumping rope is effective since it not only provides a great aerobic workout, it also puts into play many muscle groups in your body. Your arms, shoulders, and chest are stimulated with each jump, not to mention your legs, of course. Just the basic coordination is enough to stimulate the body to burn more fat than in other workouts.

Arm exercises. This is important to improve muscle tone. For arm exercises, you can use an exercise band. Place both feet on one end of the band, hold the other ends with each hand and then repeatedly raise and lower the band (in an up and down motion for 10-15 minutes). If you have a pair of dumbbell, you can also use them to exercise your arms.

You sit on the ball then place your hands on the ball for balance or behind your head (harder). You can slowly begin rolling your hips in a circle to the right, make small circles and then larger circles, as you get comfortable.  You can do 10 to 20 circles and then repeat the exercise towards the left. We call this as the ball circles.

Body weight wall squats

This is a nice at-home alternative to barbell squats at the gym. The key to getting the focus on your butt and not your legs is to squat deep. You’ll need to squat so that your upper thighs are below parallel to the ground. Anything higher than that puts most of the focus on your legs. I suggest that you work your way up to doing 4 sets of 10 each day. Spread these out through the day or do them all at once resting 60-90 seconds between each set.

Isometric butt squeezes

If you want to tighten up your butt and improve it’s shape, squeeze your butt together really hard and hold the isometric tension for as long as possible. Keep doing that with short 10 second rests between each time you do it. Do this for 5 minutes a day, everyday.

If you don’t want to spend any money at all then try stair climbing. Just walk up and down your stairs for 10-20 minutes and see how you feel afterwards, this is one of the best cardio workouts at home that you can do, it will get your blood pumping, your lungs panting, and improve your heart, best of all it’s free.

Top Reasons for Total Body Workouts

Top Reasons for Total Body Workouts

Article by John Walsh









If you workout out in a gymnasium, have a look around. You’ll pretty much everybody doing isolation exercises ( biceps curls, leg curls, triceps extensions, and so on. ) latterly, it’s become obvious that this isn’t an effective way to workout. Using a total full body| total body} workout rather than isolation exercises can decrease the amount 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 workouts which tend to concentrate on isolating one area of the body, a total body workout will burn calories at a much quicker rate because the heart must pump blood all over the body instead of one muscle collection. Each area of the body must work hard at the same time which requires much more energy. Translation – you get much better ends up in a far shorter period of time. A good total body workout should include multi-planar and multi joint movements and put greater emphasis on balance, coordination, agility, stamina, strength, and power. Each of these areas is imperative for developing a strong, lean, powerful body that doesn’t break down as we grow older. Normal exercise routines lack in several of these areas giving you a poor workout. Traditional exercise programmes force the body to compensate using stronger muscles, like the chest and biceps. When this occurs, the stronger muscles continue to get stronger and the weaker muscles continue to get weaker. The body gets more and more misaligned which can lead to wounds and poor overall results. When you target only a few muscle groups that you would like to make gains in, while neglecting the others, you really slow down your results! But, by balancing out the body, you get yourself on the fast track to your goals. That’s why a total total body|n extensive} workout is much more superior to the conventional isolate muscle exercises you will see most people doing in the gym. The Dynamics of Motion system excels at total body exercise programmes. It was built to take someone of any fitness level, from somebody who hasn’t worked out to the level of a Navy Seal and provide constantly changing exercise routines that get amazing results.
