Body Explosion - 2 Exercise Drills That Will Blow Up Your Fitness!

Now I am here to tell you that if you are serious about blowing up your fitness with real results that you can be proud of then you need to have a good start. The key to true fitness and strength is intensity. The following 2 drills are a great combination of intense movements that will surely take your exercise program to new heights!

1. Full Range Kettlebell Swings: This is a more intense variation of the traditional double-arm kettlebell swings. For this drill you will begin by executing a proper squat to pick up the kettlebell. Your body should be fully erect and the bell should be hanging at your groin with you holding it with both hands. From here you will execute the proper hip snap motion thereby creating momentum for the bell to swing back and forth between your legs in an arc-type motion. As the bell builds momentum you want to create enough force to allow the bell to swing all the way up above your head! This is the full range portion of the swing.

2. The Full Range Kettlebell Swing & Burpee Combo: This drill is actually a combination of both the full range kettlebell swings and burpees. A burpee is basically a type of total-body calisthenic that is greatly used within the military as a conditioning drill. To execute the burpee you want to start with both feet about shoulder width distance apart. From here squat down and place your hands on the ground. From here you will want to kick your feet back and extend your body into an upright push-up position. Next, execute a normal push-up. Finally, after executing the push-up kick your feet back up underneath your torso and stand up back into the position at which you started. All of these movements combine to equate a single burpee! For a killer workout execute about 30 full range kettlebell swings and then immediately execute 30 burpees!

The Kettlebell - A Force of One!

The kettlebell is what I like to call a force of one! When I say this I am referring to the fact that this device is one of the most versatile pieces of equipment that you can use within the scope of an exercise program. Weight-loss, fat-loss, athletic performance, and building hard lean muscle mass are just a few examples of why this device can be a force of one.

If you want to improve on just about every level of fitness ranging from strength, endurance, flexibility, resiliency, and recovery you can achieve all of this through proper knowledge and application with the kettlebell. The ancient device is essentially a hand held gym that can tension your body for strength and easily be stored away behind your bedroom door when you are finished.

The investment in this device is sound and I promise you that it will never have to be replaced. No warranty is necessary and I guarantee it will outlast your treadmill. As a matter of fact, if there were a nuclear apocalypse the only thing left in the dust after the mayhem would be that kettlebell you purchased. An effective strength and conditioning program and tool should be capable of variety and this ancient tool certainly qualifies for that!

To be successful in any exercise program you have to always stay motivated and continue to expand your knowledge on what is effective. Your pursuit of this matches up perfectly in seeking out the proper way to train with kettlebells!

Aerobic Progression - How a Beginner Can Go From Walking to Running!

Everybody talks about starting up a workout and exercise program, but most beginners don't even know where to start? If you absolutely have no clue the easiest thing to remember is that doing something is always better than doing nothing!

In all of my years of training people I have come to discover that many of them kickoff their exercise programs much in the same way. A lot of people that just start out end up taking a nice stroll around the block or at the local park. This is a great way to begin. However, the question of where to go next is always the following concern for many. For the sake of this article I'm not going to discuss the resistance training element, but the same questions arise there also. So if you decide to take a nice evening walk and can only make it halfway around the block today this can be your measuring stick.

In other words, today you made it half the distance so next week shoot for completing the whole distance. Eventually walking 2 or 3 times around the block might get a bit time consuming so the next step to progression is to ease into a light jog. You may not be able to complete the same distance that you walk when progressing into the run because you have intensified your work. Intensifying your workout is always the next step. If you are walking then jogging should be the next logical step. If you are jogging then running should be the next logical step. You understand where I am going.

The point is that you get yourself going doing something. The physical benefits of exercise all seed positive results from using your body. No matter your program always ask yourself how you can intensify it and move on from there.

Six Pack Abs - Is it Possible Or Just a Hollywood Myth?

Are Six-Pack Abs a Hollywood myth and only something that we see on magazine covers and TV? By the looks of most Americans one might think that it is a myth. So is the possibility of having a rock hard stomach and Greek god physique even a goal worth striving for? Is this something that is obtainable yet too unrealistic or time-consuming to take a shot at? My answer to this question is NO!

The answer to this question is no, but it will take some sacrifice. The sacrifice has to be a consistent change in your lifestyle and your personal diet and exercise program, but it is a very reasonable goal to strive for. You have to absolutely commit to sticking to a steady healthy diet and completely cut out all of the junk. You can have a cheat meal from time to time, but you most always have to eat perfectly healthy. Now this isn't as unreasonable as eating perfectly unhealthy, right? You can commit to being a loving father or mother, husband or wife, commit to paying your bills all of the time, so why should this be any different. If you take on this mindset you are 90% there.

Gaining a Greek-god body is not as far from the realm of possibility as you would think. We've established the significance of having the right frame of mind. Next you need a well structured strategical plan. One of my favorite quotes from the movie "The Usual Suspects" Kevin Spacey says, "The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world that he didn't exist!" Well, in referencing a rock hard body and six-pack abs this is the very mindset of many people when it comes to achieving that level of fitness. Most think that it doesn't really exist, at least for them. This is not true.

Consistently working out EFFECTIVELY and eating the healthy diet CONSISTENTLY is the key. Remember that with your workouts it is much better to have a short intense workout than a long leisurely one. This is what I mean by an effective workout. As long as, you can engage in this as steadily as you pay your bills and kiss your spouse on the cheek everyday, or at least in the case of working-out, every other day then the results will blow your mind!
