Get Abs Like an Athlete

Well how about that opening ceremony?!

I thought it was truly amazing and conveyed to the world the individuality (eccentricity) of our Great British country.

My favourite part of the Olympics is the track and field and one of Team GB’s most hopeful talents is Jessica Ennis.

It takes so much physical and mental strength to win those medals and you can tell that by their amazing physiques!

If you want to get abs like an athlete ab exercises because they work your entire body not just your abs and send your metabolism through the roof too.

Complete each exercise one after the other without taking a break, rest for 1 minute and repeat the entire circuit 3 more times.

Work Your Large Muscles to Burn More Body Fat

Yay, spring is here and the dark nights and dark mornings are slowly disappearing.

What do you do when the weather gets warmer?

Start wearing lighter clothing and revealing a little more flesh.

before you do this have you thought about working your large muscles to burn more body fat?

The problem you often face coming out of the winter months is you’ve covered everything up and may be eaten a few more calories than you should have done, so perhaps your body isn’t looking as good as you want it to.

The best way to turn this around is to do a workout focusing on your large muscles in your lower body as this is the best way to elevate your heart rate and burn more calories and burn body fat a lot faster.

Your lower body muscles include your Glutes (butt), Quads (front of legs) and Hamstrings (back of legs).

The Forest Bodyweight Workout

I’ve just returned home after a wonderful relaxing holiday with my family.

I definitely allowed myself a couple of treats but I didn’t allow my workouts to slide. It’s important to keep moving even if you’re on your holiday.

The last thing that you want is to get home and find that you’ve gained weight and bodyfat.

Not good!

My special bodyweight workout was the perfect holiday workout that I could do either in the middle of the forest or in the lodge that I was staying in.

This is an ideal workout for all levels of fitness. If you’re a beginner then try it out for 2 circuits and if you’re advanced give 4 circuits a go and move it up as you wish.

If you want a quick, and easy to perform bodyweight workout then this is the one for you.

Perform 4 exercises each one […]

Working Out on a Budget

Keeping yourself fit and healthy certainly doesn’t have to break the bank, in fact I shared a blog with you last week that showed you how to eat healthy on a budget and the response I got was fantastic, so thank you every one.

Working out on a budget is totally achievable and in a lot of cases FREE!

You certainly don’t need to belong to some fancy schmancy gym, that’s more often than not packed full of people who are using the exact same equipment that you have been waiting for the past 15 minutes to use.

Working out should be fun and certainly not expensive, especially in these economic times when everyone is looking to cut back and save some money. Your physical fitness doesn’t have to be one of the cut backs!

Here are my 3 Tips on working out on a budget.

1. Head for the Great Outdoors
