Punch proof abs!!!

Here's are subject everyone seems to care about- how to
get abs. A great set of abs looks great, but if they do
nothing but look good what good are they.

Your abs and your lower back ( the core ) needs to be
strong and functional for real life strength if you are more
concerned about looks then find a mirror and stand in
front of it.

I personally never focus on my abs, they are built with
the other types of training I do, and this type of training
has given me punch proof abs.

Their are a few people that subscribe to this newsletter
who have seen many people wind up and throw a punch
as hard as they can at my chest and abs only to have
their hand and wrist get the worst of it.

I don't do situps but they are good for you, I train my
body as one and this makes the entire body strong
and functional.

I will be coming out with a manual very soon called
The Iron Core ( The keys to great over-all strength ).
Having a strong core is the key to great strength and
this is a fact. To get a very strong core you need to
engage the abs in almost every exercise and when
you train using your own bodyweight you almost
always need to engage the core.

A great core and stability builder I use is a medicine
ball and a thick dowel rod.

The exercise is simple - lay the ball on the floor lay
the dowel across the medicine ball stabilize yourself
and do 5 to 10 pushups and do this for 5 sets do the
pushups slow and steady if you don't the stick and
ball will kick out on you if you don't stay strong.

For you that can't do the pushups just hold the position
for time rest and continue.

If you want to get a strong core any of the manuals I have
will strengthen your core.

P.S. For the people that don't have any of my manuals what
are you waiting for ? Check out some of the testimonials on
my testimonials page and I have a ton more.

If you want to stay weak that's ok, but you don't have to.

A quick jumping jacks and pushup workout!

If you are running late and need to squeeze in a quick
but a very effective workout than you need to try this
results producing workout.

Don't think that short workouts are a waste of time, any
type of workout is helpful.

The great thing about the quick workout is they can be
done at a moments notice and they take no planning at
all.

If you are creative and know how to use bodyweight
types of exercise you will never need to find a gym
again.

Here's the short but simple workout:

25 jumping jacks.
10 pushups

Do this as fast as possible for at least 5 minutes.
If you can do it for 10 minutes that's even better.

In 10 minutes going as fast as possible you could
get around 500 jumping jacks and 250 pushups
and that's a pretty good workout for most.

Simple but very effective.

Pushups and pushup bars will build great strength.

If you want to improve the number of pushups that you
can do and if you want build a more powerful and lean
body you need to read this article.

Many people are starting to see the benefits there is
to include pushups into their workouts, pushups are
not just for a warmup or a cool down, they can be a
serious workout.

Pushups will help to build the entire body by working
it as one, the body must use alot of muscles in order
to do a pushup.

One thing you can do to improve the number of pushups
you can do is by using a little piece of equipment that most
men had at one time or still have in a closet somewhere.

Pushup bars- pushup bars are a great way to improve the
number of pushups you can do by letting you stretch farther
then if you just put your hands on the floor.

Using pushup bars will help you build a powerful lean muscular
body. And the way the hands are positioned will relieve stress
on the wrists.

The great thing about pushup bars are they are cheap or you
can make your own out of PVC pipe and you can benefit from
this simple piece of equipment.

If you look around you will see different types of pushup
bars on the market but the simple 5 to 10 dollar pushup
bars in any sporting good store will do the trick.

You can switch the position of the bars and by switching
the position the muscles will be worked different this is how
strength is built.

You can use them wide, close, angled, vertical, horizontal,
knuckles facing to the front, or you can get a great triceps
workout by facing your knuckles toward you.

You can make it harder by elevating your feet on a chair or
harder yet a swiss ball.

You can improve your one arm pushups by setting one bar out
real wide and using the wide one as a guide while you use
the other arm as the pushing arm.

Try 50 in a row but switch position every 10 you do.
1x10 knuckles facing out.
1x10 knuckles facing out but wide.
1x10 knuckles facing front but wide.
1x10 knuckles facing front bring one bar in close keeping the
other wide and work one arm harder.
1x10 knuckles facing front bring the other bar in and put the
other out wide.

The key is to don't come off the bars or come out of the pushup
position.
