Ditch the Pot Belly

Mountain Climbers

Mountain Climbers

1. Start by getting on your hands and feet in a prone position.
   
2. Keeping your body parallel to ground drive your knees up towards your chest alternating back and forth.
   
3. Repeat this movement for the required number of seconds.

High Intensity Training

Next time you go out for your aerobic training, add some intensity (Make certain you visit your doctor first to see if you are physically fit enough to do so)

If you walk or jog, walk or jog as usual for a period and then throw in a sprint of 20 seconds (more or less depending on what you are capable of). Return to your regular pace and recover. Recovery time varies but should become less as you increase your fitness level.

Do it again. Try to work up to about 8 sprinting sessions. Feel free to vary the length of time you sprint and also the number of times you so so.

During recovery periods your heart will continue to beat at a high rate, giving you an extraordinary benefit.

It has been proven you will lose more weight doing this high intensity exercise and your workouts will be shorter. Heck of a benefit, huh?!

Forearm Isometric Exercise

Here is a good isometric exercise you can do anywhere for your forearms.

*Sit in a chair and reach down and grab the sides of the chair.
*Pull up as hard as you can, like you are trying to lift the seat while you are sitting in it.
*Hold this for about 30 seconds.
*Slowly release.

If done correctly, and it's hard not to do this exercise correctly, you should feel it in your forearms and your hands and wrist.

Try This Abdominal Exercise

Lie down on your back, arms fully extended so you form a T. Lift your legs off the ground and bring them to a 90 degree angle from the floor.

Keep your feet together and slowly lower your legs to the left, holding for a count of 2. You are rotating the waist and concentrating on the downward motion, keeping the abs tight throughout the movement. Your shoulders should stay as tight against the floor as possible. Your goal is to bring your legs as close to the floor as possible while keeping your shoulders on the mat.

Keeping the abs tight, bring the legs to the starting position and continue to the opposite side. When you now return to the starting position, count that as 1 rep. See how many you can do.
