The Squat--Don't Exercise Without It

<strong>THE SQUAT. It seems that people either love this exercise or hate it. If you hate doing squats, then you need to learn to love them.</strong> <br /><br />There is probably no other exercise that has a greater impact on your body's muscle, metabolism and energy expenditure. Why? Because the squat is a complete-body movement exercise. This means your legs (especially quads, hamstrings and glutes), abdominals, lower back, arms and shoulders are targeted. <br /><br />I would recommend doing squats without machines or weight belts. This will force you to learn how to stabilize your body without artificial support. If you are not able to perform squats with barbell or dumbbell weights because of injury, then start with body-weight squats. <strong>Either way, don't exercise without doing squats.</strong><br /><br />Be sure and download your <b><a href="http://myfitnesshut.blogspot.com/p/dumbbell-and-medicine-ball-metabolic_17.html#.UeY_3tLqmuI">Free Dumbbell and Medicine Ball Metabolic Fat Burner Workouts</a></b> and start shaping your body faster!<br /><br /><b>Mark Dilworth, BA, PES</b><br /><b><a href="http://yourfitnessuniversity.com/">Your Fitness University</a><br /><a href="http://myfitnesshut.blogspot.com/">My Fitness Hut</a><br /><a href="http://herfitnesshut.com/">Her Fitness Hut</a><br /><a href="http://sportsfitnesshut.blogspot.com/">Sports Fitness Hut</a><br /><a href="http://rapidfatlossandsixpackabs.com/">Rapid Fat Loss and Six Pack Abs</a></b>

Female Athletes Should Train The Same Way As Males

<strong>Speed and explosive strength training are the same for both females and males.</strong> <br /><br /><b>While males do have more physical strength than females, the same biomechanical motions are used by both sexes.</b> Therefore, females need to train the same way as males. <strong>And women shouldn't worry about getting too bulky. Proper training will allow women to remain flexible (and not muscle-bound) while gaining strength. </strong><br /><br />Be sure and download your <b><a href="http://www.yourfitnessuniversity.com/bodyweight_500_metabolic_fat_burner_workouts.html">Free Bodyweight 500 Metabolic Fat Burner Workouts</a></b> and start shaping your body faster!<br /><br /><b>Mark Dilworth, BA, PES</b><br /><b><a href="http://yourfitnessuniversity.com/">Your Fitness University</a><br /><a href="http://myfitnesshut.blogspot.com/">My Fitness Hut</a><br /><a href="http://herfitnesshut.com/">Her Fitness Hut</a><br /><a href="http://sportsfitnesshut.blogspot.com/">Sports Fitness Hut</a><br /><a href="http://rapidfatlossandsixpackabs.com/">Rapid Fat Loss and Six Pack Abs</a></b>
