There is no "quick fix" for losing weight, toning up, or getting in shape so stop looking!
Here's the not-so-secret formula:

  • You have to want to do it.

  • You have to set achievable fitness and nutrition goals.

  • You have to decide how important your goals are.

  • You have to analyze your priorities.

  • You have to determine what you are willing to do to achieve success.

  • You have to find a way to make it happen!

The most efficient fat burning workout strategy is to incorporate a mixture of cardiovascular exercise and weight training or resistance exercise.  Cardiovascular (aerobic) exercise burns calories during the workout whereas weight training or resistance exercise (anaerobic) continues to burn calories for hours after the workout.  The surgeon general recommends 30 minutes of aerobic exercise 3-4 times per week for cardiovascular health .

Do the math... 90-95% of people who lose weight with diet gain most of the weight back within 3 to 5 years. Often times more body fat or weight is gained back due to yo-yo dieting.  Permanent changes in eating habits and exercise are required for sustained weight loss.

I'm not saying that it is going to be easy... but are you willing to do what it takes to improve
your health, body composition and overall quality of life? If you're not sure how to start, I can help...

USA Bodyweight Exercise of the Month
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Purchase the Gymboss Interval Timer

 

Suspended Push-Up

 



 

 


Poly Battling Ropes
 

Summary:

It's a new year, and I'm starting to run low on ideas for my customary monthly bodyweight exercise!  So since I recently picked up a Universal Strength Apparatus (USA) I thought that I'd take this year to feature some of the many outstanding suspension exercises that can be performed on the USA (or other suspension tools).  I figured the suspended pushups would be as good as place to start as any.  They are probably one of my favorite suspension exercises and the additional shoulder stability required by the straps really add to the excellent chest burn and stretch.  As with many of the suspension exercises, the closer you get to horizontal, the more challenging the exercises become due to the increased percentage of your bodyweight you will be using.  This makes the exercise possible for most levels of strength and fitness since beginners can start from almost a full standing position.

Count:  2

Description: 

Choose the appropriate handles of the USA to provide you with an angle that you can handle for 8 or more repetitions.  Grip the handles and plant your feet firmly on the ground or sturdy chair, bench, or box.  Keeping your body as straight as possible as you lower down and up for the pushups, focusing on stability and control of your hand/arm motion throughout the range of motion. 
 

Target: 

chest, shoulders, triceps, core (pectoralis major, deltoids, triceps bracchi, rectus abdominus)
