I enjoy the feeling of a muscle pump and I don’t get that from crunches and leg raises. However, I’ve made it my goal to train abs 2-3x per week. Funny thing is, when I was in high school, I did ab exercises daily and had no visible abdominal definition; these days, I do 10 crunches per week and have more noticeable abs.

We’ve all probably eaten and drunk way too much over the past couple of weeks, and most of us are probably dreading getting back to the gym. Whilst it is common to feel like you might not have time to go, now with Tabata training, there really is no excuse to not work out.Devised by Japanese scientist Dr Izumi Tabata, the High Intensity Interval training workout lasts just 4 minutes, with 20 seconds of effort, followed by 10 seconds of rest. Moves are designed to target the whole body, or at least the major muscle groups, so you get a muscular workout as well as a cardiovascular one. For example, you could do press ups, lunges, squats and leg raises. Once you have done all these, you’ll be 2 minutes into it, so repeat the process and you’re done.Whilst it might sound way too good to be true, 4 minutes of this and we can pretty much guarantee you’ll feel differently about it.

Los Angeles, CA — (SBWIRE) — 12/10/2013 — One fitness trend that exploded in 2013 was various forms of High Intensity Interval Training. While there were several variations of this form of exercise, Tabata training was one of the more popular ones. But as trends come and go, how can a person determine if one style of exercise is right for them, or if they should vary their workouts with other styles?With Tabata training, participants are given a fast-paced and exciting way to tone muscles, improve cardiovascular health, and burn calories during a short allotment of time. This sounds fantastic to anyone pressed for time, but in order to get the most out of the workout, it must be done correctly.Tabata is structured in 4 minute blocks composed of eight 20-second intense bursts of speed or strength exercises, then combined with eight 10-second rest periods

Meals for the Week – Paleo Comfort Style 1 Comment Friday, August 23rd, 2013 Whether you’re a parent hustling and bustling from one place to the next, single and working long hours and trying to make time for the gym and social time, or just someone who wants to eat a little healthier, finding time to cook can sometimes fall far down our priority lists. After all, modern day restaurants have made it almost too convenient to eat away from the home. Consider this: from 1960-1961, 79% of a household’s food budget went for food consumed inside the home. From 2002-2003 only 58.1% of that food budget was for food consumed inside the home (not to mention the fact that on average we devote 50% less to our food consumption than we did in the 1960s—that’s a whole other blog post!).[1] I’m guessing that “take-out” and “delivery” still counted as food inside the home, too.We know full well that sometimes it is hard—really hard—to carve out some extra time to make meals for the week. Maybe it’s because you didn’t thaw out any protein in time for your regularly-scheduled cooking day.

Save and Share: 84220Eat for 8 hours, then no eating for 16 hoursAccording to Hugh Jackman, the 16-8 Intermittent Fasting method of eating is “all the rage“. This system of eating is easy on paper – you eat all your meals in an 8 hour window, and then “fast” for the next 16 hours. Does this system really work?

Naturally, if you walked up to anybody at your local gym and asked them if they would like to learn how to get a six pack in 3 minutes they would probably jump at the chance. Of course, everybody believes such things to be nonsense. However, if you’re looking into how to build muscle you are about to discover why HIIT can produce very good results in less than half the time of regular resistance training.Gone are the days when people need to spend hours working out in the gym after a long, busy day at the office. Nowadays you can get great results in as little as half an hour. [If you don’t know how to build muscle today’s interview will assist you a lot.]The levels of variety and intensity are the two most important factors within any solid training program.
