DL 215 Kettlebell Triceps Extensions (www.youtube.com/dl215)

Sup folks,

Back again this time back with another video/blog entry and in this video I have some Lying Triceps Extensions. I usually perform these standing up but in this video, I decided to change it up and perform it lying supine. Also, I am using a kettle-bell in this video, but you can also use a trying dumbbell or E-Z bar. Well, here is a brief entry on why I love these exercises:

LYING TRICEPS EXTENSION

Lying on a bench with your arms extended overhead in a narrow (six-inch) grip, start the triceps extension by lowering the bar to your forehead or beyond. The upper arms are to remain elbow-tight and upright to emphasize the load on the triceps and guarantee maximum development. The triceps extension is a major mass and power builder. High reps pyramided with low reps work well to saturate the three-headed muscle.
The overhead triceps extension performed similarly from a seated upright position (wisely using a back-support utility bench) with the elbows straight overhead is another aggressive triceps builder. The employment of the bent bar is a popular alternate. Remember, tendinitis prowls. Warm up, don’t overload excessively, rest properly.

Resistance Band DL 215 Squat/Row (www.youtube.com/dl215)

Sup folks,

Back again this time with another resistance band video/post. In this post I am performing a resistance band squat row combination to target the whole body. Add this combination when you want to target multiple muscles at once. Not only is it very effective, you will be able to work out in half of the time. Well here is a brief description on how to properly perform a resistance band row:

Resistance Band Rows

Rows are a very important resistance band exercise.

If preformed properly they strengthen the muscles in your upper middle back which not only help you maintain proper posture, but also help you build your full body properly.


Start: Attach the heavy resistance band to a doorknob or secure object. Walk away from the door until you feel the band become tight.

Assume an athletic stance, keeping your shoulders in neutral position, do not let them protract or fall forward.

Begin the motion: Keeping your shoulders, back in and wrists neutral alignment pull your hands towards your ribcage leading with your elbows.

Retract (squeeze together) your shoulder blades without shrugging your shoulders for a split second, then slowly return your hands to the original position without letting your shoulders protract and repeat the motion.


Modifications: Walk back further away from the attachment of the cable for more resistance. If you would like to increase stabilization requirements for the exercise you can stand on an unstable surface such as a BOSU ball, Airex pad or balance disc.

Resistance Band Chops (www.youtube.com/dl215)

Sup folks,

Back again with another video. It's Labor Day so I have today off and since I got free time I might as well update with some video/blog posts. Well what I have for you guys today is an resistance band chop. Resistance bands are awesome because they give you a different feel than using traditional barbells and dumbbells. In this video, I am performing some resistance band chops, you can also call them twists to. Here is a brief outline on how to properly perform this exercise:

Resistance Band Twists

Resistance band twists are an important exercise because they strengthen your muscles in the transverse plane.

Your oblique muscles are important to developing functional and core strength as well as helping to keep your waist line slim.

Start: Have the bands attached to a secure object and walk away from the attachment until you feel tension in the band.

Stand up tall with your legs slightly bent and feet shoulder width apart and extend your arms forward in front of your chest. Walk to the side so your hands are pointing to the origin of the resistance.

Begin the motion: Keeping your core drawn in and your arms fully extended, turn away from the origin of the resistance band.

Try to keep your hips from moving so you are isolating your obliques which rotate your torso at the waist.
Slowly return the band to the original position

Modifications: To increase the difficulty of this exercise you can decrease the stability of your base. To do this, simply move your feet together until they are touching, or stand on an unstable object such as a BOSU ball or balance disc.

Killer Workout Vol. 1 (EZ Curl Bar Biceps Curl/ Push Ups www.youtube.com...

Sup folks,

Back again this time I got another video for you guys. In this post I am demonstrating a biceps curl and push-ups super-set. I like to add these super-sets into my protocol because they really test your heart and make you push harder even when you are fatigue and tired. But these workouts will really give you what you need to achieve the body you want and deserve so take a look at some of the benefits on supersets:

What is a Superset?

Definition: A superset is a form of strength training in which you move from one exercise to the next without a rest break.

You can perform supersets in two very different ways and get very different results.

Opposing Muscle Group Supersets

One common form of a superset workout includes working two opposing muscle groups back to back and then repeating the circuit. A common superset includes performing one upper body exercise and immediately move to a lower body exercise. For example, perform one set on the bench press and one set on the leg press. Another easy method to plan supersets is to alternate with opposing muscle groups. You can combine the bench (which works the chest) with the seated row which engages the back.
Supersets of this type are a great way to reduce the time your workout takes. These supersets are very similar to a circuit training routine. Although supersets tend to focus on two exercises at a time, and circuit training routines often have up to ten stations, both workouts require little rest between exercises.

Same Muscle Group Supersets

The second way to perform a superset workout is to choose two different exercises for the same muscle group and perform them back to back without a rest. Performing quadriceps extensions immediately after squats is an example of a this type of superset.

Tr-Sexy Pushups/Triceps Extension www.youtube.com/dl215

Sup folks,

You know who it is, back again with another video,post,entry all of the above. Well, what I have for you today is another video with some suspension training using the TRX, i mean we call it the TR-SEXyyyy. lol jk But yeah the trx is a awesome tool to add into your workouts and should be include for full body days. Here are some of the benefits of the TRX suspension Training:

Benefits of TRX
• Can be done anywhere
• Can be done outdoors
• Usually done with a group of people
• Cost of training is less
• Builds strength and conditioning
• Works on additional muscles groups not addressed traditionally in the gym

"Because instability is inherent in body suspension training, one of the chief benefits of TRX training is the development of core and stabilizer strength and also improving nervous system reaction time," said Laura. "This is huge as the typical weight room routine goes to town building prime movers (large muscle groups) and just let the stabilizers (small muscles) whither. This is a one way ticket to injury. The TRX can increase muscle size but more importantly, it builds strength by requiring the little guys (stabilizers) to carry their own weight."

As you can see there are many benefits to TRX training and if you like what you check out for more videos at the TUBE:

Homemade Sandbag Experiment World Cup www.youtube.com/dl215

Sup folks,

Back again this time back with another video and in this vid I am performing so odd object lifting. Bored of your traditional gym workouts and hit plateaus then start incorporating some odd objects into your lifting routines. Here is a brief definition on what exactly is a odd object?

Definition on an Odd Object

An odd object can be defined as a non-rigid implement who’s center of mass is not fixed and is ever changing. It acts non-linear in a system and creates tension that does not act opposite or parallel to an anatomical movement pattern (horizontal push/pull, vertical push/pull, rotational, hip dominant, quad dominant), but rather chaotically in opposition to ANY fixed movement.

As you can odd objects offer a different dynamic into your workout protocol and should be included in your protocol to change up your workouts and target muscles that tradition gym workouts cannot hit.

DL215 Dive-Bomber Push-ups (www.youtube.com/dl215)

Sup folks,

Back again this time with another vid and in this video you see me perform some dive-bomber push-ups. You might be wondering why I have this song with the video, lol I don't coincidence this song came on when I was performing the exercise. But yeah sorry guys it might not be guy approved, but lol Dive-bomber push-ups are awesome and fall into the category of using your body-weight into your programs. Here are some benefits of Body-weight training:

Benefits of Body-weight Training?

I love bodyweight training for a number of reasons, but I’ll just list the top 7 reasons why bodyweight training is so great:

1. Bodyweight workouts help you drop fat like magic. I usually organize bodyweight exercises into high intensity circuits, and they work better than steady state cardio. They work even better than interval cardio!

2. Gymnasts train with bodyweight workouts, exclusively. Yet they’re stronger than most bodybuilders. They have a nice, lean physique to compliment their athletic skills. This is because body control is an important aspect of overall fitness.

3. Bodyweight training doesn’t take long at all. You can train for as little as 10 minutes a day and burn fat in the comfort of your own home. Sometimes I’ll just drop down and do a few pushups while I’m working, just to get the blood flowing again.

4. Because the workouts are performed at such a high intensity level, you’ll effectively boost your metabolic rate. Your metabolic rate is what determines how many calories you burn at rest through out the day.

5. My aerobic conditioning is better than when I used to run 45 minutes a day, 5 days a week. When you perform bodyweight exercises at a high intensity level, you also train your heart. And so the low intensity of a jog or run does not tire your body out, no matter how long you do it.

6. The most important aspect, especially in this tough economy, is the fact that you can save a ton of money on expensive gym memberships or fancy equipment. We know by now that all those fancy gizmos do nothing for a sleek body.

7. Finally, have you ever seen the difference in physique between a sprinter and a jogger? High intensity exercise is the way to go for a nice, athletic physique. If you want to look like a scrawny jogger, then go ahead and continue your steady state cardio.

Circuit Training DL215 (www.youtube.com/dl215)

Sup folks,
Back again this time with another vid/post and it is again on circuit training. Circuits rock my socks so I would say the majority of my training involves circuit based workouts.

Here are some of the many benefits involved in circuit based workouts:


• Circuit training helps you develop good basic strength and body tone .

• Circuit training gives you a cardiovascular workout as well . If you practice traditional bodybuilding, then you allow your heart rate to recover during the rest period between your weight lifting exercises.

• Circuit training can improve your fat loss.

• Excellent off season workout for seasonal athletes

• Circuit training can help you build muscle in conjunction with traditional bodybuilding

Sup folks,

Back again this time with another post and vid for you to check out. In this entry I have a circuit protocol that involves my homemade equipment and kettlebells. I love to workout in circuit because I can get more done in less time. Here is a brief description of what circuit training is:

Circuit training - is defined as moving quickly from one exercise apparatus to another and completing a prescribed number of exercises or time on each apparatus.
Circuit training keeps the pulse high and promotes overall fitness by working all muscle groups as well as the heart and lungs.

Foam Rolling www.youtube.com/dl215

Sup folks,

What is up? Anything new? Well, I hope all is well. In this post I got a awesome video blog post that will help you with your fitness goals. In this video, I am performing some foam rolling to help with the knots that have been gathering within my body from years and years of neglected to stretch. Not a good idea by the way. Well for those who are unfamiliar with the benefits of foam rolling, here is a brief description to why everyone should include a foam rolling protocol into their daily workouts:

Benefits of Foam Rolling?

How Foam Rolling Works

Foam-rolling technique, called self-myofascial release (SMR), works similarly to massage therapy, only rather than a therapist applying manual pressure to your muscles, you apply your body weight to the foam roller. The idea is to seek out tender spots in your soft tissues, also known as knots or trigger points, and then roll your body over the foam roller to massage out the tight spots and relieve pain, pressure, and inflammation and also be done post-workout to help prevent sore muscles and is safe to do daily.

Well folks,
I really hope this helps you guys out and you find that adding a foam roll protocol into your workouts will add a great benefit to your program. Also, Peep out the TUBE at check out more videos and stay in with the blog to keep up with the posts, take care!!

Stability Ball Pushups/Core Rollouts www.youtube.com/dl215

Sup folks,

You know what it is, back again this time I got everyone's favorite workout CORE Training, lol maybe now. But core training is the foundation of my workouts and of my clients. I like to activate the core as much as I can during my workouts and the protocols of my clients. Here are some of the benefits of CORE Training:

The benefits of core training

The significant benefits of core training follow through to whatever you are involved in, because the area around your trunk and pelvis is where your center of gravity is located. A strong core gives you:


• Better posture
• More control
• Improved, more powerful performance
• Injury prevention and rehabilitation
• Increased protection and "bracing" for your back
• A more stable center of gravity
• A more stable platform for sports movements

When you have good core stability, the muscles in your pelvis, lower back, hips and abdomen work in harmony. They provide support to your spine and help transmit increased power and performance for just about any activity.

A weak core makes you susceptible to lower back pain, poor posture and a whole host of muscle injuries. Strong core muscles provide the brace of support needed to help prevent such pain and injury -- and this discovery is why core training has become so popular among elite athletes.

SO as you can see folks, a strong core is a must in order to achieve functional and full body strength, so definitly check out the TUBE and incorporate some core exercise into your workout protocols.

DL215 One-Hand Sledgehammer Swings (www.youtube.com/dl215)

Sup folks,

You know who it is, DL aka your dynamic trainer back again with another video/blog post. What I got for you this time is some sledgehammer swings, and not with just 2 hands, I have been able to progress to a one handed sledgehammer swing. Practice has helped me out a great deal. Here some of the many benefits of sledgehammer training:

Benefits of Sledgehammer Training?

Benefits
• Rotational Strength and Power
• Core strength
• Increased dynamic range of motion
• Coordination
• Learn to transmit force from the ground up through the arms (key quality in most sports)
• Enhanced work capacity
• Mental toughness
• Restoration
• Wrist and forearm strength

Pushups on a Honda www.youtube.com/dl215

Sup folks,

Back again with another video post, this time I got a crazy video for you guys. Decline Pushups on my Honda. I was into the middle of my workout and I wanted to end the workout series with a bang so my crazy mind decided to jump on my Honda and perform some decline pushups. Don't worry Honda lovers, no hondas were harmed in the filming of this video, however I can't say the same for me. lol JK

Well, here is a brief description on how to properly perform a pushup. Take a look:

Pushups-
To perform a perfect standard pushup, lie on your stomach, flat on the ground.
Place your hands on the ground, with your palms facing the ground, with your thumbs touching the outside edge of your shoulders.
Point your feet towards the ground with the weight of your legs resting on the balls of your feet. T
o execute a perfect pushup, press downward with your hands, lifting your body upwards until your arms are fully extended.
Lower your chest/body back to the ground and repeat.
Keep your back straight when lifting your body.
Maintaining your posture and proper form will ensure that you do not do belly-flop pushups, and it will also prevent you from twisting up your lower back.

Standard pushups primarily work out the chest muscles:

Pectoralis Major (Sternal head). They provide a great secondary workout for the shoulders, triceps, and abdominal muscles.

Burpees and Pull-Up Assessment (Danny) www.youtube.com/dl215

Sup folks,
Back again this time with a throwback video from my time spent at the National Personal Trainer Institute aka NPTI. My time spent there were awesome and I really miss the workouts and classroom time there. It was a great school to learn about the many aspects of personal training and I would recommend that place to anyone who is interested into becoming a personal trainer.

Well, in this video I have a killer protocol of burpees into pullups which I performed during my many killer workouts at NPTI. Here is a summary on why pull-ups is a great exercise to add into your workout protocols:

Pull Ups - Pull ups are the best back exercise to develop your lats and strengthen your biceps. The only negative part of pull ups is they require you to have a low body weight or just be incredibly strong. The key with pull ups is to never give up. With the proper training and exercise program you will eventually be able to do them.


Also, peep the following paragraph into how to perform a proper pull-up:


Start: Position yourself under a pull up bar. You can have a stool or jump up to the bar. Your grip will largely determine the difficulty of the pull up.
Begin the Motion: Pull yourself up to the bar until your chin approaches or passes the bar. In order to get better at pull ups it is best to perform full range of motion so lower yourself under complete control all the way down and repeat.
As you become more advanced you can decrease the range of motion to make it truly one of the best back exercises and best lats exercise.

Well, folks thanks for checking into this post and if you are interested in NPTI contact me and I will give you information on how to enroll into the program, also peep out the TUBE at:

Summer Circuit Series Exercise 15 (Bulgarian Bag Upright Rows) www.youtu...

Sup folks,

Back again this time I got some upright row on the Bulgarian bag. Instead of the traditional upright rows on a barbell or plate, I am using a thick handled Bulgarian bag which will help me with some added forearm strength. Why not buck out 2 things at for the price of one exercise. Well here is a brief description on how to perform a proper upright row:

Upright Row-
Step 1• Put your feet shoulder width apart.
Step 2- Bend slightly at the knees and point your toes forward.
• Step 3
Pick up the barbell with an overhand grip. Your hands need to be 8 inches apart. Rest the barbell against your side.
• Step 4
Inhale deeply and hold your breath. Pull your deltoid and upper back muscles in order to lift the barbell straight up. This concentrates the exercise on your shoulders.
• Step 5
Keep your elbows out and back. Your body must be upright with your hands as close to your body as possible.
• Step 6
Relax your muscles slightly and slowly lower your barbell when you reach the upper-most position under your chin. Exhale as you do this

Sup folks,
Back again. Hope you didn't miss me too much, Jk but yeah back with another video/post/entry and this time we going attack the Back. One of the best way to target the back muscles is to perform Barbell Bent-Over Rows. A killer exercise that will definite get you tired and hit all the muscles of the back. Here are some instructions on how to properly perform a Bent-Over Row:

Bent-Over Row- S tarting Position: Grab the barbell with an overhand grip with your hands spaced slightly wider than shoulder width. Spread your feet shoulder width apart and bend your knees slightly. Lean forward at the waist at about a 45° angle making sure to keep your back straight the entire time. The bar should be positioned just above the knee.
Upward Phase: Exhale and pull the bar up to the lower portion of your chest, making sure to keep your core muscles contracted (in order to stabilize your spine).
Downward Phase: Allow the bar to move back to the starting position in a slow and controlled manner.

Summer Circuit Exercise 17 (Burpee/Deadlift Combo) www.youtube.com/dl215

Sup folks,
Back again this time I got a new video/post/blog entry for you folks. In this entry I have a great exercise combination that I like to incorporate to challenge myself and get my heart rate up and blasting. Well the following is the proper steps to perform a correct deadlift:

Deadlift -
Start: Take a slightly wider than shoulder width stance. Grip the barbell with either a overhand or alternating grip. When you set up for the dead lift, you can lean back until your butt is pretty low.
It is crucially important for the entire motion to keep your back flat, never let your shoulders fall forward. Do not bend your arms the entire motion.
It is very important to stabilize your core and support your lower back to take a deep breath and hold it until the weight is pulled all the way up.
Begin the motion: Keep your core tightly drawn in for the duration of the dead lift. Drive up with your chest. Pull the weight straight up. Make sure to keep it as close to your body as you can. At the top of the motion you must contract your glutes (squeeze your butt) and retract your shoulders. Lower the weight all way back to the floor.
Remember, the dead lift is the act of lifting the weight off the floor. Every repetition make sure to lower the weight all the way to the floor.

So folks, remember to take your time before attempting to deadlift a heavy weight and practice practice your form. Well, folks thanks for checking and check out the TUBE at:

Sup folks,
Back again to update the blog with another video/post. In this entry I included a video of one of my circuit workouts that I like to perform to improve my conditioning and in need of a kick ass workout. I love circuits because they combine a variety of different exercise into one workout and really gives you that full body workout that can change your body and increase your lean body mass to the extreme. Well the first exercise I am performing is the E-Z Bar Biceps Curl and the following is simple instruction on how to properly perform the exercise:

EZ Bar Curl- Starting Position: Stand with your back straight and your feet spaced shoulder width apart. Grab the barbell with an underhand grip that’s slightly wider than shoulder width apart.
Upward Phase: Exhale and slowly raise the bar by bending at your elbows. Make sure to stabilize you’re your torso and spine by contracting your gluteal muscles (butt), abs and spinal muscles.
Downward Phase: Slowly lower the bar back to the starting position.
Special Instructions: You can make this exercise more difficult by performing the movement with your back against a wall, preventing your shoulder blades from moving.

Shoulder Blast www.youtube.com/dl215

Sup folks, back again this time I am performing a shoulder blast circuit. In this circuit the shoulder exercises that I am using are lateral and frontal raises. This is a rather difficult circuit because I am strictly targeting my shoulder in this video particularly from front and middle delts.

Here are some pointers to check out for when performing lateral and front raises:

Lateral/Front Raise Start: Grab a pair of dumbbells and hold them at your hips with your arms relaxed. Make sure you stand with optimal posture meaning your glutes are contracted and your core is drawn in.

Begin the motion: Keep your arms either completely straight or preferably slightly bent. Take a deep breath and lift the weights outwards to a position directly in front of your shoulders.

The dumbbells should come together at the end. Pause for a split second and slowly lower them to the original position.

Red Trunks = New Videos Part 5 (Valslide Mountain Climbers) www.youtube....

Sup folks, back again this time I am performing some mountain climbers. Awesome workout that should be included into your circuits and are great for conditioning, try doing 50 of these in a row and I promise you, you will get your heart rate up and running.

Here is how to properly perform some Mountain Climbers:

Mountain climbers are done by starting in a pushup position and then shuffling your feet in and out so that your knees are moving in under your chest and then back out to starting position.
It sort of resembles climbing a mountain but flat on the floor. If you want an advanced version, you can also shuffle your hands 8-10 inches forward and backward in addition to the leg movements. This really makes it a full body exercise and MUCH more difficult than standard.

Sup folks, back again this time with another video/blog post. In this entry I am performing a variation of one of the most effective yet simple exercise that everyone should do. It is the plank.

Since, the plank is a isolation exercise I decided that instead of bore ing viewers with just me holding a one minute plank, I decided to make it more interesting my making it dynamic and making it into a switching planks without tapping BOB. Here is a brief description of what the plank is and how to perform proper planks:

The plank is the most fundamental core exercise. It is the basis of many progressions to challenge and develop your core to its full potential.

Start: Lie flat on your stomach. Place your elbows and forearms on the floor. Your elbows should be aligned right below your shoulders.
Begin the motion: Lift your hips up so your body is parallel with the floor. Your forearms to fists and the balls of your feet should be the only body parts touching the ground.
It is very important to not arch your back ever during the plank. Always make sure you feel the muscles in your abdominal area doing the work.
You should have your core drawn in tight and your glutes tightly contracted. If your form breaks down, stop, rest, and repeat.

Resistance Band Circuit www.youtube.com/dl215

Sup folks, back again this time I got another video for you guys to view and a post to read. In this video/post I am performing a resistance band protocol in which I combine a variety of exercise into one circuit.

Here are some of the many benefits in using resistance bands into your workouts:

Resistance Training Anywhere

Perhaps the biggest benefit of resistance band exercises is the ability to take your workout on the road. Since the bands take up very little space, you can pack them (even in your carry-on) while you travel for work or vacation.
As a personal trainer they provide a valuable tool for mobile training if the sessions are done away from the gym as resistance tube exercises can be performed on the beach and even under water!

You can use Resistance Bands to achieve a Variety of Health and Fitness Goals

Resistance band exercises are simply another form of weight (resistance) training which can you build strength, muscular endurance and help tone your body.
If you think there are only a few resistance band exercises you have sadly mistaken as you can create exercises on the fly or simply add on to exercises existing in your workout program.

Resistance Bands can Provide very Heavy and Light Resistance

You can add multiple bands or tubes together to increase the resistance and this ability is virtually limitless. You can create enough resistance with bands and tubes to even support your body weight for total body exercises.
You can also find special resistance tubes which allow you to connect resistance bands to sturdy handles which make the number of resistance band exercises you can do go up because the resistance is enough to support your body weight.

Well, folks this is a long post but I feel that I had to include the many benefits of resistance bands and they should be included into all your workout protocol.

All that work gone, but yeah excuse me for this little rant, I really hope the post doesn't go away again. That would suck. But yeah I was talking about why I love using Bulgarian bags into my workout and here is one of the main benefit to why the Bulgarian bag can be a effective fat loss and condition tool:

Burlgarian Bag - The Bag strengthens and increases your muscular endurance of your grip, wrists, arms, shoulders, back, legs, rotational muscles, core musculature, coordination, proprioception and overall shoulder and joint mobility.

Boot Camp Circuit #3 (Landmine Twists) www.youtube.com/dl215

Sup folk, back again this time my post will be myself demonstrating exercises using a great tool that I begun to utilize called the LANDMINE. I love the landmine because of its ability to activate your core and mimic functional movements while performing strength exercises. Here is a brief description of why using the landmine is a great tool for fat loss and reaching your fit goals:

Landmine- The Landmine is a great exercise because it trains the core and abs in a standing position, which is the most functional for daily activity and performance. The core is needed to stabilize the spine during activities such as running, playing golf, or skiing. This function alone is paramount to avoid injury and be successful at your sport or simply feel better. While at first, this exercise will get you stares from others in the gym, but when you begin to "feel" the core and reap the benefits of a stronger mid-section and improved strength, you will want MORE people to stare!

Boot Camp Circuit #4 (Kettlebell Swings) www.youtube.com/dl215

Sup folks, back again this time with some kettlebell swings. In this video I am performing one of my all time favorite exercise the kettlebell swing. I got introduced to the swing during my time at NPTI and have been incorporating them into my workouts. Here is one of the reason why I love kettlebell workouts:

Kettlebells increase your metabolism by creating dense muscle mass. The fat loss power of kettlebells is explained by the extremely high metabolic cost of throwing the weight around combined with the fat burning effect of the growth hormone stimulated by such exercises.

Red Trunks = New Videos Part 6 (Medicine Ball Slams) www.youtube.com/dl215

Sup folks, back again this time with some Medicine Ball Slams. I love medicine balls workouts because they are a break from the traditional bodybuilding workouts and help you work on power and core strength. Plus, who doesnt want to just pick up something and slams it down as hard as you can into concrete floor. Here are additional benefits to medicine ball workouts:

Benefits of exercises with medicine balls

There are many benefits to exercising with medicine balls that are difficult to achieve with other workouts:

* Ditch the jumping jacks every once in awhile & do a medicine ball routine for a great warm-up activity.

* Medicine ball training targets your core. It really works the abs & back. Having strong, supple ab & back muscles increase performance in many activities but it also helps avert injury. Persons who practice yoga also maintain that working the abs & back with motions that are fluid also improve the tone & function of internal organs.

* Medicine ball training is one of the best ways to strengthen the muscles around your key joints, critical areas involving the shoulder, elbow, knee and ankle areas. Many aerobic & strengthening workouts do not involve those areas. This too can help to avert injury & possibly arthritic conditions.

* Medicine ball fitness can include cardiovascular training. Movements would have to be fairly repetitive & last for at least 20 minutes. Of course you could easily modify your medicine ball exercise to do an interval routine that is also good cardiovascular training.

* Exercises with medicine balls are good for developing upper and lower body fitness. Add the core also & you have a piece of equipment that could exercise the entire body including the innards!

* Medicine ball routines blend physical skills, like strength, coordination, balance, accuracy, and flexibility.

* Medicine balls prepare your body for realistic motions. This is essentially what is meant by functional fitness. They are the kinds of movements that you might do in real life situations.

* Medicine ball training is good for rehab (check with your doctor or therapist first). There are many exercises that could be adapted for back & arthritis sufferers & for getting back into shape after some injury.

* Medicine ball exercises are good for all ages, fitness levels, sizes. You can have a fitness ball exercise class that includes all family members.

Farmer's Walk www.youtube.com/dl215

Sup folks, back again this time with some Farmer's Walk. This is the main reason why I love farmers' walks:


There is NOTHING that this exercise doesn’t do. Besides a killer conditioner, farmers carries or farmers walks trains the arms, legs, core, shoulders, neck, grip, eye lids, eye brows and ear lobes and every other muscle in your body you didn’t even know existed!
What makes this exercise even more incredible is that anyone can do it, anywhere, with little or no equipment. Just grab something heavy, pick it up and start walking.

Boot Camp Circuit #4 (Kettlebell Swings) www.youtube.com/dl215

Sup folks, back again this time with some Kettlebell Swings.

Kettlebells are great for working multiple muscle groups simultaneously—particularly the core.

I like to perform a kettle bell based workout once a week and I believe that adding kettle bells into my workout program has improved my core and overall functional strength.

So to everyone out there reading this, grab some kettlebells and start incorporating them into your workout, you won't regret it!

Summer Circuit Exercise 10 (Tire Pulls) www.youtube.com/dl215

Sup folks, back again this time with some Tire Dragging. Here are some of the reasons why I love using Tire Pulls into my workouts:

First, upright forward sled dragging is a great posterior chain builder. Nothing gets those lazy glutes into tiptop shape like sled drags.

Second, back wards sled drags does for the quads what forward dragging does for the glutes... fries em!

Third, when done for distances greater than 50 yards or with short rest intervals this is one of the absolute best work capacity / conditioning exercises.

Finally, because your legs are always moving in a concentric fashion there is minimal soreness associated with doing this exercise. You can drag today and max effort squat tomorrow.
