A Healthy Opinion On How To Organize Your Workouts
July 25th, 2008I have been asked in my classes about how do you workout? Do you have a guide to assist with working out? What kind order should be used to address working out? I can tell those students, as well as others a very effective method to organize their exercising routine. These accepted practices for developing a workout routine are not new, but extremely easy to remember. Just follow the outline of warming up, stretching, either strength building training or aerobic work, cool down and stretching again. Let us explore these simple steps.
Warm up first is a mantra that should be repeated over and over again. Relax and do a slow jog or brisk walk letting your muscles to become warm. I was taught as a young auto driver, to just start the engine and let it run while warming up. Do not drive until the engine was warm and ready to go! The same applies to our engine which is our body. Take your time to get the blood pumping and muscles warming just like a car engine!
After warming up, be sure to take the time to stretch your muscles. You need to stretch your neck, arms, legs and body trunk. There are many ways to stretch and you can find the techniques available at my blog site. Stretching will not only loosen up your muscles, but really makes you feel better.
The next step in your workout routine is to decide whether to use aerobic or anaerobic training. Running is a very good example of aerobic activity and strength training is an anaerobic method. You will want to include both in your training routine. These techniques are the ones that make you feel and look better.
Cooling down your body after the stress of a good workout is mandatory. Do not neglect this aspect of your workout! Let your body have time to cool down slowly by taking a slow jog or walk. Your body has been through a hard workout, so let your machine gradually slow down.
Finally in your workout outline, just relax and stretch. You may utilize the same stretching methods as mentioned earlier in the article. Do your stretching to slow music or any way you can relax and stretch those powerful muscles you have been working to exhaustion.
Commit to memory your outline for workouts. Always remember to warm up, stretch, participate aerobic or anaerobic training, cool down, and stretch. Now that you have a plan, take action!

June 17th, 2008I found this nice article about how to get a bikini body. For you ladies, look over this workout and see if you might use it to attain a great looking and hot body. Thanks to Ms. Hearner for your effort.
Dave
If you’re a one-piece kind of woman hankering for a bikini-ready body, here’s a plan designed to reach all the body parts your bathing suit won’t. Don’t worry—if a string isn’t your thing, and you’re more of a bikini kind of gal, or you’re simply hoping to look better in a suit with a daring back or a few strategically-placed keyholes, this workout’s for you!
You’ll target your abs, butt, thighs, and chest with these six exercises. But this is no standard workout—we’ve developed a two-in-one toning routine that combines upper and lower body moves so you get the most out of your exercise efforts. It’s about training smarter, not longer. By recruiting more muscles at once, you tackle more flab in the same amount of time. Plus, more muscles moving means that you’ll get the added benefit of a bigger calorie burn, making it easier to lean down as you firm up.
These exercises will strengthen and tone your bikini body. To reduce extra body fat, follow a high energy, lower-calorie eating plan and include at least 30 minutes of cardio work such as walking, running or cardio fitness classes on most days of the week. If you stick to the plan, in as soon as eight weeks you’ll uncover the best birthday suit your bathing suit can’t hide!
HOW TO DO IT:
Choose a weight that is heavy enough to challenge your target muscles, but not so heavy that your joints feel strained. Start with dumbbells that are at least 3 to 5 pounds and gradually work up to using 6 to 20 pounds, depending on the exercise.
Start by performing one set of eight to 12 repetitions of each exercise, and work up to doing three sets of eight to 12 reps. Do this workout two to three times a week with a rest day in between.
Modify this workout to match your fitness level. Follow the recommended moves, or adapt them as needed by clicking on a similar exercise that is easier or more challenging.

Guide Review - The Little Butt & Thighs Workout Book
This isn’t a ‘quick-fix’ program, promising instant weight loss, but four progressive mini-workouts that teach basic lower body exercises. Erika Dillman, the author, emphasizes that slimming down the hips, butt and thighs happens with cardio exercise, healthy eating and strength training for the whole body, not just the legs. In the first section, Erika talks about cellulite–what it is and the reality of getting rid of it (e.g., “Research has shown that herbal wraps, thigh creams and pills don’t work.”). She goes into the basics of determining calorie intake for weight loss and then covers basic physiology for the muscles of the lower body, describing how these muscles work and why it’s important to strengthen them. Readers will find the discussion about strength training and why it’s important easy to read and motivating. She then talks about how to set up a workout with sets, reps, weights and rest as well as how to set up a complete program with cardio exercise. Her section on good form and posture during exercise is one of the better ones I’ve read. The rest of the book includes the 4 mini-workouts, each with 4 exercises. Workout 1 is for strength and stability (with squats and lunges), Workout 2 is for wide-leg moves like side lunges and bridges, Workout 3 includes one-legged moves and the final workout includes the most challenging moves like one-legged reaches and bridges on the ball. She also includes stretches for the lower body. This is a great buy!
