Get Fit Without Going To The Gym With Combat Conditioning.

Posted on August 24, 2019 by blogger

Are you interested in adding bodyweight exercises to your exercise program? Do you want another way to get a great workout without going to the gym? Well I have a suggestion for you. At this point you may be asking yourself why you should listen to what I have to say. Well, I’ve spent my entire life exercising. Back when I was a kid it was football and martial arts. As a got older and needed to work for a living, my Journey of the Broke started as a rough framer, the type of carpenter that builds the rough framing for the exterior and interior walls, floors, and roofs of wood-framed buildings. After a few years of that I moved on to the family business of a career firefighter. As you can tell from my life history I have chosen paths that require me to be fit. I know what I’m talking about…and I’m not talking about Show Muscle…I’m talking about GO MUSCLE!

You see, weight training can give you strength, cardio training can give you endurance. But Combat Conditioning gives you both at the same time. I decided to add Combat Conditioning about 7 years ago when I found Matt Furey’s program. Now, I’m not going to say I just use his program! Why not? Because fitness is about using all the tools available to you to trick your body! Believe it or not, your body gets into a rut when you just train one way. It develops a memory of it’s own when you train and learns to expect what output is necessary in response to the stimulus it is receiving. To really improve and be fit you need to mix it up! I use many different programs (I’ll be adding more reviews on those later) to trick my body into responding to different stimuli so it doesn’t get into a rut. Combat Conditioning is a great addition to the workout toolbox!

Probably the best reason to use Combat Conditioning is that it is not only really powerful but also extremely portable. You can do the Royal Court anywhere and in minutes have completed a great workout that leaves you exhausted and dripping in sweat. All you need is your own bodyweight to do the exercises. Add in the Magnificent Seven and you’re just done for the day. Better have some rehab planned and some protein ready.

The Royal Court and the Magnificent Seven are just two of the workouts in Combat Conditioning. There are many other exercises in the program that you can add in or substitute, all of them just using your bodyweight for the resistance. The possible combinations are endless.

Combat Conditioning is available in book or DVDs. I highly recommend the DVD format. The books are next to useless except for cheap gifts to your friends. The DVDs are available now for only $67. The set usually goes for $100 or more so I would say if you are interested in adding more options to your workout toolbox now would be the time to get this program!

Suggestions for Burning Fat Fast at the Gym with Power Cardio

Posted on August 22, 2019 by blogger

To successfully blend power training and cardio is to select the appropriate work-out routines. Power-based exercises have explosive makeup that let the workout give diverse output compared to body building programs.

Training with Power Cardio uses up more of your body fat and also burns additional calories than other exercises because it utilizes speedy repetitions. Also, it limits the rest time between sets to less than twenty seconds. These will help maintain the high intensity cardio and fat-burning levels of the work-out. Following this custom is significant, as it maintains the intensity but makes up for break to prevent injury. y.

To begin, decide five of the actions and then do two sets of each. As your power rises, you can begin doing more sets. For top returns, you need to do Power Cardio two to four times weekly. Common Power Cardio workout routines include the band sprint, jump squat, power push ups, power lunge and the power clean.

For Band Sprints, affix 2 resistance bands to a strong support structure. Facing away from the structure, grip the bands in front of you at shoulder height and then dart straight forward as hard as you are able to, before coming back to the starting point.

Jump Squats are carried out by squatting down to your lowest position, with your hands on your hips. Jump in the air, having your back straight and face straight ahead.

Power Push Ups are carried out in a regular push up posture, but with the hands slightly wider apart than shoulder width. Your palms and toes should be on the floor, and the body needs to be kept rigid and straight. Lower the body, then raise it swiftly.

Power Lunges are done by standing up with your feet shoulder breadth apart. Facing onward, keep the back in a straight line and leap forward with your right foot. Bend the knees as you step forward, and then lower the left knee almost to the ground. Go back to the start position, and then go over the movement, alternating the forward foot each time.

When starting your Power Cardio routine, start by conducting two sets of the five shifts 2 to four times weekly. Complete two twenty second rounds of jump squats, later follow that with 2 20 second rounds of power lunges. Go on like this, performing two 20 second sets of each of the five work-outs you have selected. Bear in mind to break between each set, but no more than 20 seconds, to keep the cardio intensity. As you become more powerful, add more reps of such workout routines or include more exercises.

To obtain most out of your gym I would suggest you follow a fat loss program that focuses on reducing body fat. Click here if you want to know how fitness models stay fit.

Building A Home Gym On A Budget

Posted on August 19, 2019 by blogger

We have two crises going on simultaneously in our country. The first is a financial crisis with unemployment at crisis levels across the country. The second is a health crisis with obesity at record levels. We should all make an effort to keep ourselves in shape but what if you can’t afford the membership at an all-purpose gym? These gyms typically offer free weights, weight machines, cardio equipment, and a variety of classes. They normally cost between $25-$60/month. Additionally, gym members spend an average of 1 hour 38 minutes per gym visit, not including travel to and from the gym and if you drive, you are paying for gas.

What if there was a way to have a gym in your own home which wouldn’t take up much room and could provide you with just as good a workout as your local gym? There is a way. Let’s see what you need.

First let’s start with the issue of resistance training. There are three low budget yet highly effective options:
1.DUMBBELLS are a highly versatile resistance tool that can be used in dozens of exercises from chest presses, to overhead presses,to lunges. You can purchase a 40 lb. vinyl dumbbell set at Walmart for $40. If you are willing to spend a little time, you could probably scoop up a set at a garage sale for much cheaper.
2.RESISTANCE BANDS are another option for resistance exercises. Like dumbbells, they con be used for dozens of exercises. They come in varying levels of resistance and are very inexpensive. You can get one at Walmart for $15.
3.SUSPENSION TRAINERS are all the rage. With suspension trainers you have the great convenience of being able to take your gym with you in a bag or you can set one up in your garage, over the rafters,like I have. Suspension trainers provide the versatility of being able to do a great number of exercises without having to change machines, having to change plates or even having going to set foot in a gym. You can complete an effective workout in a short period of time. Another plus is that the “instability” of being suspended during exercises incorporates a greater number of muscle fibers and requires more strength to complete any movement (i.e., dips on dip bars vs. dips on gymnastic rings). Additionally, every exercise involves working the core. Now let’s tackle the cost. If you buy one the biggest producer of them, it’ll cost you $180, but you can make one, like I did for between $10-$20. If you need instructions you can look my article on suspension trainers or look up DIY suspension trainers on YouTube. There are plenty of videos.
4.CHAIR(s) provide a platform for step ups, dips and a platform for your feet or hands when performing incline and decline pushups. Folding chairs work really well because they are a very stable platform when placed against a wall. They can also be folded up and put against a wall or in a closet when not in use.
5.PAINT CANS are usually something that people have around in the garage. Empty ones work best because this time you don’t want to have to lug a heavy can around or be afraid that you will spill the paint. How do you use them? They are the perfect size to use as platforms for your hands during push ups, especially incline push ups, adding additional range of motion for the shoulders. You can also stagger your push ups by alternating hands on top of one of the paint cans. You also can incline your dips by placing your feet on that chair we just discussed, while using the cans as platforms for your hands.
6.A PULL UP BAR is a very a great tool for the back and upper arms via pull up and chin up variations. It’s also a great anchor for your suspension trainer. A portable pull up bar that you can put in your doorway is available at many locations for between $20-$40.
7.Last but not least is a STABILITY BALL. I think they should call it an instability ball. A stability ball can be used for dozens of exercises and will turn any lift into a core exercise because of the stomach and back muscles necessary to keep the ball under you. I know I’m sounding like a spokesman for Walmart but you can get a stability ball there for about $10.
Right now you might be saying, Clint, you forgot cardio. There are a couple of options. You could run or buy a jump rope but some people don’t like running or are not coordinated enough to jump rope. I think the best option is to incorporate all of these tools in circuit/interval training in which you cycle through a series of exercises performing a set number of reps for each exercise or performing each exercise for a specified amount of time. This type of training will allow you to build muscle and endurance at the same time thus cutting your workout time. The biggest plus is that it burns fat like crazy. If you would like more information about this type of training check out the resource information below.

Now you’ve set up your gym at a very reasonable price. This is what I have set up at my house:

Do it yourself suspension trainer-$20
Stability Ball-$10
Chair 0
Paint Cans 0

You no longer need to block out time to drive to the gym. Waiting for machines is a thing of the past. Your home gym will allow you to work out when you want and develop a lean muscular body without developing a hole in your wallet.

How To Seduce Women In A Gym – Everything You Need To Know!

Posted on August 17, 2019 by blogger

Alright guys, sit back, get something to drink, and relax because your about to learn how you can seduce women in a gym!

Now, what would keep you from seducing a woman in a gym? For most guys the problem would be just going over there and talking to her. This is called approach anxiety and its very understandable, yet you won’t get anywhere if you don’t get over it. How can you expect to get a girl if you don’t talk to a girl?! Once you get this problem out of the way, you could practice seducing girls everywhere that your at, not just in a gym setting.

A lot of you guys are making New Years resolution’s and a great one would to be talking to every woman you find attractive and at least trying to seduce her. Like Michael Jordan said, “You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take”. I think that anyone could start practicing to seduce women at their gym, but I don’t honestly think they’re going to do it on the first, second, or third try.

You have to look at seducing women (in any setting, although many things are the same) as a skillset your looking to acheive, rather than as “getting lucky”. When you picked up a video game, played it and lost all of your lives, what did you do? You pushed the reset button and tried again until you finally beat it. You’ll have to take this same kind of approach to seducing women at a gym(or anywhere else) if you want to do it consistently and successfully.

Now I know a lot of people want lines and tricks, and we’ll get to those, but you have to make a promise to yourself right now to keep trying to seduce women at the gym until you succeed. I want you to get a piece of paper and write down this sentence 30 times:

“I will keep trying to seduce women at the gym until I succeed”

Now draw a line at the bottom, and sign your signature right there on the line. Keep this piece of paper in your pocket whenever you go to the gym. If you lose it, or forget it, just make a new one. If you have a friend who wants to do this with you, it would be even better, as you could hold eachother accountable.

Ok, now here are a few little tips and tricks that will help things go more smoothly. Something i’ve tried before is going by a girl who is almost done and when she was getting up.

Me: Whoa, sit back down, you have a lot of work left to do! *very playful tone*
Her: You jerk! *punches arm, huge smile*

Now, make sure you only do this to girls with good bodies that clearly don’t “need a lot of work”, otherwise you’ll get slapped.

Here is one last tip for you to try out next time your practicing your seduction skills. If you see a girl who has amazing biceps, abs, or even breast (hey i’m all for being honest, but not obnoxious) give her a genuine compliment. Let the compliment flow out, don’t think about it at all just say exactly what you think. Almost every time you do this, you’ll get a girl who just starts beaming at you, fully attracted, and ready for you to make the next move.

Keep at this, and you’ll be able to answer your friends question of “how do you seduce a woman in a gym” in no time. Heck, you’ll even be able to give your tips and show him how its done!

If you enjoyed this article, please give this link to your friends and let them see it too.

Good Luck!

Transform Your High School Gym Into A Formal Dance Venue

Posted on August 14, 2019 by blogger

High school gyms are typically used for sporting events such as basketball and wrestling, however gyms are large spaces and have the potential to accommodate a large number of people. Aside from parent-teacher conferences, drama club plays, and debate team competitions, gyms can be used for school dances. If a high school class cannot afford to rent a ballroom or a conference room at a hotel, try holding the formal dance in your high school gym. With some budget-friendly dcor, the help of students in your class, and an okay from the gym facility manager, you can pull off a prom, homecoming or any other type of formal without a hitch!

Get permission: First and foremost, its important to get permission from an athletic director or fitness facility manager before holding a formal in your high school gym. Gym flooring is expensive and many different shoes can damage floor finish. Be sure to clear it with a superior; theyll most likely be fine with it, especially if your facility has gym floor covers that protect the floors.

Affordable decorations: Transforming a drab gym into a beautiful, formal venue may seem daunting, or at least expensive, however there are some smart ways to make your formal dcor radiate. Decide on a theme for the dance because it will help narrow your search for decorations. Recruit art students to make paper flowers and posters to cover the walls. Ask the home economics teacher to contribute cookies or cakes to the dessert table. Cover your gym floor covers, the ones that help protect the finished flooring from foot traffic, with colorful plastic sheets. And if draping fabric or tissue over the gym floor covering is too much work, simply set the mood by dimming the lights, which will help hide bulky bleachers and sports equipment. Be sure to incorporate fun decorations like balloons and streamers that not only make a room pop, but are affordable, too.

Enlist the help of students: Since high school students will be attending this formal dance, why not have them be active participants in this big event? Not only can art students help create decorations, but students in business classes can take on the role as promoters. Perhaps multimedia students would like to work with the gyms lighting, and maybe band classes would record music that could be played intermittently throughout the dance. It can be great to make your student bodys participation a learning, but fun experience. Its a creative way to get students excited, as well as a smart way to stick to the dance budget.

After the logistical planning, like asking for permission and setting a formal date, is complete, the decorating and student participation will make the formal dance one students will never forget.
