Marching Bridge Tones Butt, Stabilizes Core

<b>Use the marching bridge exercise to tone your butt and stabilize your core.</b> The marching bridge will also strengthen your lower back. Many people develop low back problems because too little time is spent strengthening the muscles of the lower back.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0sjnzACmG6_ImvGU1PiZ3_q81oOH1QIEmi8PDcT_qtzJhdMrY5sHFb3qMw1lHdSFrW9TEdg6I1hAz-oQI_k_GC8AKB7_2zyVJyRoNgSLJbbE7s-8pNGChitZvUI_u3kJgZGObjSI0jGJQ/s1600-h/Bridge+finish.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5441569569496170034" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0sjnzACmG6_ImvGU1PiZ3_q81oOH1QIEmi8PDcT_qtzJhdMrY5sHFb3qMw1lHdSFrW9TEdg6I1hAz-oQI_k_GC8AKB7_2zyVJyRoNgSLJbbE7s-8pNGChitZvUI_u3kJgZGObjSI0jGJQ/s320/Bridge+finish.jpg" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 216px;" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9LlY9MPt5lfo6Bhm-JidDMZMaDd8Q3QP8XSLHEQevVuRQJz67kVoJ1MXbWr_twt8l9E-nuCvBJLgTHh2rJNGq9a2cokNcJNw7S2AxmXhN-eLT1sV9uTOuqa6PUOqg7U9bzbyNKReNdtsl/s1600-h/R1-+1A.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5441568733751111506" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9LlY9MPt5lfo6Bhm-JidDMZMaDd8Q3QP8XSLHEQevVuRQJz67kVoJ1MXbWr_twt8l9E-nuCvBJLgTHh2rJNGq9a2cokNcJNw7S2AxmXhN-eLT1sV9uTOuqa6PUOqg7U9bzbyNKReNdtsl/s320/R1-+1A.jpg" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 216px;" /></a><br /><br />1.

Beat Childhood Obesity With Active Lifestyle

<strong>Beat childhood obesity by training your kids to have an active lifestyle and to eat healthy.</strong> Here is a question I answered from a client:<br /><br /><strong>Client Q:</strong> Mark, I have a question? What do you struggle with? I think of you as this fitness god, but let's know you better.... ya know.<br /><br /><strong>Mark's Q:</strong> Great question! I'm definitely not a fitness god! But I made a commitment to fitness years ago and that's the key! But, I had alot of help! Let me explain:<br /><br /><strong>1) I grew up in sunny New Mexico so I played outside almost everyday.</strong> That leads to an active lifestyle of games, walking, running, etc. Fun exercise is the best exercise. Even today, I do exercises that I like (there are tons to choose from)!<br /><br /><strong>2) I participated in organized sports from age 5 to age 21. Along with genetics, that's how I shaped a lean, athletic body.</strong> From there, all I basically had to do was maintain what was built.<br /><br /><strong>3) I didn't own a car until I was 23 years old so I walked and biked alot.</strong> Again, this helps lead to an active lifestyle (OK, I bummed alot of car rides too)!<br /><br /><strong>4) I grew up in a time when kids came home from school, did their homework (well some of the time anyway) and then went outside and played games 'til dark (now kids are on MySpace and FaceBook 'til dark).</strong><br /><br /><strong>So, I kinda indirectly fell into the "fitness lifestyle." Stated another way, I had alot of "social support" to help me stay fit. Social support is a leading indicator that you will stay on the fitness track!</strong><br /><br /><strong>The commitment to a fit lifestyle will lead to the body changes you want and give you lifetime health. I always tell people to commit to this lifestyle first and the health and "hot body" will follow!</strong> <br /><br /><strong>Anyway, one of my weaknesses is sweets. I love sweets! I try to find replacements for them. So, instead of soda, I will drink water or unsweetened tea. And candy! Instead of eating a whole bag of M&Ms, I try to eat a few! And, some days I just flat out cheat. If you make the commitment to fitness and hold to good nutrition about 90% of the time, you will be just fine.</strong> <br /><br /><strong>Unlike some trainers, I stress health and commitment first because that's really where the problem issues are! The commitment to a fit lifestyle trumps all other fitness commitments and will help you to overcome the obstacles and failures along the way.</strong> <br /><br /><strong>A fitness god I am not---I am committed to fitness! Start your child out early with health and fitness.</strong><br /><br />Be sure and download your <b><a href="http://myfitnesshut.blogspot.com/p/bodyweight-500-metabolic-fat-burner.html#.UeTaltLqmuI">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><br /><br />

<strong>If you want <a href="http://myfitnesshut.blogspot.com/2009/12/fat-loss-management.html">fat loss</a>, your workouts need to be intense enough to burn fat. It is that simple.

Spend less time posing on "mirror exercises" like bicep curls, calf raises and tricep extensions.<br /><br /><strong>Here is a good fat-burning workout:</strong><br /><br />Do each exercise one after the other with little or no rest between exercises. Rest 2-3 minutes between circuits. Do the circuit 3 times.<br /><br /><strong>1.

Bodyweight Plyometric Workout Blasts Fat

<strong>Bodyweight plyometric workouts will blast more fat because they are very intense! And, one-legged jumping exercises are more intense than two-legged jumping exercises. Shorten and intensify your workouts with jump training (plyometrics). Plyometric workouts also blast more fat and calories during and after your workout!</strong><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAUsjmSm2AJvhBoR4aD5TE_kLZQLGByG3DGkEGvybbhZNlunF3OZSakrJmrc6SWHUI5p7B0pufhZHir92juZPjTr3TRD0IjRAPPehKtS2c5nbPKtVzWMNa8353RgLfWSDRlbb1V5T7RwRQ/s1600/R1-+9A.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5409785434123680274" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAUsjmSm2AJvhBoR4aD5TE_kLZQLGByG3DGkEGvybbhZNlunF3OZSakrJmrc6SWHUI5p7B0pufhZHir92juZPjTr3TRD0IjRAPPehKtS2c5nbPKtVzWMNa8353RgLfWSDRlbb1V5T7RwRQ/s320/R1-+9A.jpg" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 216px; height: 320px;" /></a><br /><br /><strong>If you're having trouble sculpting your butt, hips and thighs then you need to do more jump exercises.</strong> <br /><br />Bodyweight plyometric workouts are advanced workouts.

Isometric Bodyweight Workouts

<strong>Isometric bodyweight workouts help you build strength and burn fat without moving much. Exercise without much movement you say? Keep talking right?!</strong><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEieJ3a3l0y4y3iFDods74WOAhVenemPaPsdDACqLgLuOcUOg8WON14n1YqsgnVAUr1eixs35gTWLCxj_p525cWLdhfj9qcjFyyaduyWoU_ygj9hq2BxzOJeHOyGkK6zAWU-SYIcLu0C9acM/s1600-h/ball+plank.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5434201430451608514" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEieJ3a3l0y4y3iFDods74WOAhVenemPaPsdDACqLgLuOcUOg8WON14n1YqsgnVAUr1eixs35gTWLCxj_p525cWLdhfj9qcjFyyaduyWoU_ygj9hq2BxzOJeHOyGkK6zAWU-SYIcLu0C9acM/s320/ball+plank.jpg" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 216px;" /></a><br /><br /><strong>Isometric exercises are very underrated. They are great for building muscles, stabilizing muscles, building strength, improving power and burning fat.</strong><br /><br /><a href="http://myfitnesshut.blogspot.com/2008/01/you-should-exercise-using-more-than-one.html">Isometric contractions</a> can be described as a type of muscle contraction where your muscles develop tension without changing length. For example, pushing against a wall and holding for 30 seconds causes an isometric contraction. <br /><br /><strong>You should strength train your muscles with all contraction types (eccentric, isometric, concentric). All muscles function eccentrically (reduces force or deceleration), isometrically (stabilizes force) and concentrically (produces force).</strong><br /><br /><strong>Isometric bodyweight workouts cause most if not all of your muscles to work during an exercise.</strong> The stability ball plank exercise (pictured above) is a great example. To do the plank, you get into position and hold for a period of time (like 20 seconds). So, many core exercises are great isometric exercises. <br /><br /><strong>So, here is a good isometric bodyweight workout for you:</strong><br /><br />1. <a href="http://sportsfitnesshut.blogspot.com/2009/07/deep-knee-bends-and-deep-knee-bend.html">Deep Knee Bends</a> and Hold, 10 repetitions, 10 second hold<br />2. <a href="http://myfitnesshut.blogspot.com/2010/01/bodyweight-exercise-series-planks-and.html">Stability Ball Plank</a>, 10 repetitions, 20 second hold<br />3. <a href="http://myfitnesshut.blogspot.com/2010/01/bodyweight-exercise-series-bridge-for.html">Bridge</a>, 10 repetitions, 20 second hold<br />4. Pushup and Hold, 20 second hold<br />5. Side Plank, 10 repetitions each side, 10 second hold<br />6. Captain Chair Knee Ups and Hold, 10 repetitions, 10 second hold<br />7. <a href="http://myfitnesshut.blogspot.com/2009/01/ab-curl-ups.html">Ab Curl Ups</a> and Hold, 10 repetitions, 20 second hold<br /><br />Repeat this circuit 2 more times. Rest 2-3 minutes between circuits.<br /><br /><strong>Now "hold on" and do your isometric bodyweight workout!</strong><br /><br /><b>If you need bodyweight workouts that you can start at your own level, check out the Free download below (it has beginner, intermediate and advanced levels):</b><br /><br /><b><a href="http://myfitnesshut.blogspot.com/p/bodyweight-500-metabolic-fat-burner.html#.UeTaltLqmuI">Free Bodyweight 500 Metabolic Fat Burner Workouts.</a></b> 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><br /><br /><br />

You will need one bodyweight exercise (like squat jumps) and 4 minutes! Yes, only 4 minutes! <br /><br /><strong>Tabata bodyweight training works this way:</strong><br /><br />1. After a 5 minute warmup, choose a bodyweight exercise.<br /><br />2. Do as many repetitions as you can for 20 seconds.<br /><br />3. Rest for 10 seconds.<br /><br />4. Repeat this cycle for 4 minutes! <strong>Make sure to maintain correct form as you get fatigued!</strong> You will be exhausted at the end!<br /><br /><strong>As you progress, you can add more time but keep the 2-to-1 work to rest ratio. For instance, you could do a 30 sec./15 sec. work to rest ratio.</strong> You could also speed up your repetitions to make Tabata bodyweight training even more intense!<br /><br /><b>If you need bodyweight workouts that you can start at your own level, check out the Free download below (it has beginner, intermediate and advanced levels):</b><br /><br /><b><a href="http://myfitnesshut.blogspot.com/p/bodyweight-500-metabolic-fat-burner.html#.UeTaltLqmuI">Free Bodyweight 500 Metabolic Fat Burner Workouts.</a></b> 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><br /><br />
