SPRING SEXY ABS

Spring abs is wonderful, well at least that’s what I’ve heard from so many people. And the question these individuals ask me typically go like this: So how do I get them? Can I do more crunches? My question usually is, what are you currently doing do reduce your fat contents around your abdominal section.

Interestingly enough, many people respond by cardio or sit-ups and crunches. I like putting myself in others shoes and quite frankly it’s not very professional to make fun of someone's fat contents, like it or not. So my answer for you is this in its utmost simplistic way.

“STOP DOING CARDIO FOR YOUR ABS”. Ummm! Right, I know what you are thinking. In order for your muscles to change there must be some sort of force that is applied and the muscles need to contract as well. Don’t misinterpret my statement here, I am not telling you not to do cardio. It’s very effective if it’s done in 5 – 20 minutes as a form of interval cardio-blast training, yet, it will not shed a lot of pounds off your belly.

The very first thing you need to take a look into is “your current diet” If you are ingesting too much fat, and eating foods that are loaded with pesticides, hormones, synthetics, let alone you’re eating very late at night. And the worst case scenario you’re not involve in some form of regular physical activity where you can stress these muscles, you will not see any abs for springs. So below are a few tips for you to get those rock solid spring abs.

1)Start eating healthier meals and stop over eating.

2) Reduce stress in your current lifestyle by taking mini vacation (2 –3 days is fine) to relax your mind. If this vacation will add stress, don’t take it.

3) Do interval high intensity cardio type work, and if you’re overweight start at a very low intensity.

4) Stop doing crunches and sit ups all the time, these conventional exercises can actually exacerbate stress on your spine and lower back, unless if you know how to do them with CORRECT and PROPER body alignment. Most people swing and destroy the spine with these exercises. Focus on doing movement with your legs up and arm ups whether it is two or one, where you really target only your abs.

5) Do exercises that will address your core musculature more (like multi joint, complex exercises, full body movement, example: squat, curl, and press) all in one movement

6) After each abs exercise try to do an isometric, isolated movement right when you’re done with the set (like a double leg raise followed by a one leg up elbow plank)

7) Drink more water and ingest less sugar (more water will help with toxins excretion and better nutrient flow, excess sugar will transformed into fat)

Here's a quick circuit training you can try at home , in your back yard or at your gym. These exercises are very effective for targeting your mid section and more. Do 3 sets of these exercises with 15 repetitions, and only 15- 30 seconds rest. Please do not perform these movements if you have any joint injuries and heart condition. BodyBuzz Fitness will not be held responsible for any injuries that you encounter doing these movements if you're not in the condition to perform them.

Making Your Workout a Priority!

For many people finding time to workout is their biggest obstacle. People fill their days with meetings, lunches, and conference calls but rarely schedule time for workouts. Making money, having a successful career, and raising a family are great things to strive for, but if you’re not healthy, you will never be able to truly enjoy those accomplishments.

There are many ways to make your workout a priority. The first and most important is to figure out what you would like to accomplish through fitness. This could be anything from lowering your blood pressure, to finding your six-pack of abs, to improving your tennis serve. You must always have a goal in mind. Once you have a goal you must make accomplishing that goal just as important as any other goal in your life (work, school, relationships). Do you set time aside for work, school, or your relationships? Your health should be just as important as those things. If you use a calendar then start scheduling in your workout times right alone side your meetings and social events. Set reminders and alarms, do whatever it takes to get into a routine.

Another way to make your workout a priority is to find a partner or trainer. A partner or trainer can get you to the gym even when it’s the last thing might want to do. You will hold each other responsible for getting to the gym and working hard. When looking for a partner or trainer you must choose carefully. It’s important to have similar goals, even when looking for a trainer. Find out what the trainers specialties are, and make sure they match your goals. Treat a new partner or trainer like an interviewee. Are they committed, do the have a strong work ethic, are they motivational, how much do they know about fitness? Training with someone who has different goals or a different training personality can leave both of you spinning in limbo. This can be unproductive and frustrating. Also, make sure that you pick someone who’s reliable. If your partner or trainer flakes chances are you won’t feel like working out either. When starting with a new partner or trainer try to workout with them 50-75% of the time. You shouldn’t rely on your partner or trainer 100% of the time. This will keep your workouts strong even if you lose your partner/trainer.

When making anything a priority getting started is the most important thing. When it comes to working out you’ll find that once you start, you won’t want to stop. You will crave the way working out makes you feel, and implementing a workout schedule and finding a good partner or trainer can make all the difference in getting you to your goals.

"Start The Journey Now Or Pay The Price Later"

It was Monday, March 3^rd 2008. The weather was nice in New York City, about 55 degrees or so. The air was somehow calm, and you can actually see a less pollutant atmosphere. The morning crowd was scandalously fighting to get inside the trains as usual. There’s a number 1 train in NYC and in my opinion it is the worse in terms or service, departure and arrival time. Enough said! Let me get back on track here and let you know a little secret called “ Start the journey now or pay the price later”

As the crowd is galloping through the morning rush hour and so many people look anxious to get to their destination. I suddenly wondered if some of us ever think about distressing ourselves from the paranoia of life is a sure way to keep us healthy. Anyway, Some of them were carrying heavy loads of newspaper with huge cups of coffee in their hands. I would say the measurement of those cups were about 8 to 16 ounces. The visage of some gave me a sign that physically the body was not totally awake neither the mind. And some others look like they were anxious to start the light, brisk day very fresh. As for me, my energy level is always high in the morning. The very first thing I do when I wake up is drink 8 -16 ounce of a very fresh fluid called water, and sometime a cup or 2 cups of green tea, then I proceed to a healthy breakfast.

It was a morning of true analysis in my healthy book. Hey..! Why not observe a few individuals to see how some of the norms in our society behave and react with a morning rush hour? When I looked around, the majority of people were overweight, a few of them were obese, and a very small percentage was slender. This is in reference to teenagers, adults, and seniors. I also noticed that some people in the train were breathing high, look lost, and uncertain.

I wonder how many of them ever think about “start now or pay the price later in life”. Paying the price later in life has to do with the maturation of: diabetes, high cholesterol level, cancer, coronary heart disease, chronic stress, high tryglecerides, osteoperosis, arthritis, elevated pain, spine and back disorders, bad posture, and many more. Interestingly enough, most people don’t think about these disorders or ailments unless the cause because astringent. By the time this level is reached, for some, unfortunately it can be too late.

There are many ways to start early in order to get back on track to a healthier lifestyle. At the end of this article you will be able to visit two websites where you can get infectious information about how to start your healthy journey now so you don’t have to pay the malicious price later in life. If you’ve been reading my newsletters and my articles, you will know for certain that I was not the healthiest person in existence. Today I am still not, but I have made tremendous progress in my life and continue to do so, because I started early, so I don’t have to pay the price later. I am not asking you to follow my footprints, and I am not talking here about perfection either. However, if you can be conscious of your health, and start educating yourself early about your own body and what you need to do, you will be far ahead of the throng who refuse to make a commitment to better their health.

The conveying factor here folks is very simple. It’s called “habit”. I am certain that most of us usually think of habit as a negative aspect in one’s life, such as: smoking, alcoholic, sex addict, etc. Having a positive habit in life can be contagious to others around you. For example, if you have a habit of eating a special huge bowl of salad at a specific time during the day, that’s a very good and healthy habit to have. If you check all your saving accounts a the same time or count exactly the amount of grams from protein, fats, and carbohydrates you’re getting for the day.

These choices are very healthy and positive habits to have in life. Did you know that the best way to start any journey in life is to take action and start it? Did you also know that most journeys in life start small not big? Where does that lead you and I? We can do the same thing. Well, I already started a very long time ago, and I know some of you reading this article have already started as well and I am glad you did. What about the rest of you reading this? Yes, you --- I am referring to you reading this right now and you know you have not started your journey to a healthier lifestyle yet. Take action and start today, and I guarantee it you will not regret your very first step.
