What works out love handles and lower tummy at the gym?

admin — Mon, 26 Dec 2011 02:54:50 +0000

I have a gym membership but mostly have been using it for cardio. I am not overweight, I just want to lose maybe 5 pounds and tighten things up. I’m just wondering if anyone knows what equipment that gyms usually have that will focus on my lower stomach and obliques. Those are the only areas that haven’t completely vanished with diet and exercise. I only want gym equipment answers, not home exercise. Thank you!

The key to fat loss is your metabolism. Use metabolic boosting workouts. Give the Fat X Workout and diet program a try. It works great to lose body fat and to get fit fast.

Best all-in-one home gym equipment?

admin — Sat, 17 Dec 2011 01:48:44 +0000

In your opinion, what is the best all-in-one home gym setup?
I’m looking for something under $2,000, has good solid and consistent resistance throughout all reps, has good flexibility (wide range of motion and a lot of exercise possibilities), full body workout, can be used for beginner, intermediate, and advanced levels, and reasonably easy to use (I don’t want to spend 5 minutes after each exercise changing weights or something like that)

I used to use free weights and a simple weight bench that could unfortunately not decline/incline. I want to upgrade and make it a little easier to work out with better results. I’d really appreciate in-depth reviews on the different home gyms you think is best and it’d be awesome if you have had experience with it yourself to tell me your personal opinions on your home gym.

Thanks!

I know that I probably shouldn’t touch this question but I can’t help myself.

Free weights are far superior to any sort of resistance-band/bow/cable system that you might find in a "all-in-one" gym. Free weights allow the loading of the body in 3 dimensions and on all planes, there is no piece of equipment on the earth that can do this.

If I had $2000 and I was going to outfit a home gym, I would purchase a power-rack in which I could squat by myself with some degree of safety, I could also deadlift and do overhead presses and bent over rows out of this rack…hell, many racks even come with a pull-up bar so that’s another thing down. I would look at getting an adjustable bench so that I could bench out of the rack as well, I could adjust it up to a seated position, an incline or a decline. I would also purchase weights.

If I had any money left over, I would look at getting plate-loaded dumbbell handles…and I could hit pretty much all of the compound movements and many accessory movements with 2 pieces of equipment. In the future I might invest in some kettlebells or plate-loaded kettlebells, maybe some speciality bars etc.

Really you don’t need much more than that. I spend 90% of my workout on a squat rack or bench anyhow. But many people don’t "like to squat" because they heard it’s bad for their knees….haha.

Which is better Gym or Exercise at home?

admin — Sat, 10 Dec 2011 01:40:50 +0000

I’m little thin for my age and short too,I do a lot of exercise like pushups, finger pushups, pull ups,jumping, running, In gym they use the body building equipments, I want to know what is the difference ,should I continue my exercise at home or should I go to the gym. and what I should eat to become fit.

If you exercise at the gym, you will most likely be better equipped, and you won’t be apt to eat, sleep, or lie down if you’re at home. If you work out from home, you will save money. It depends on your situation.

How to loose weight, at home without exercise equipment?

admin — Thu, 17 Nov 2011 04:02:15 +0000

I use Wii fit and Just dance 2 to get my body moving. I can’t go to the gym because in not 15 yet, and I have no equipment at home.
I’ve started a diet for my digestion, so I’ve been eating bran everyday and drinking lots and lots of water, eating vegetables/fruits and some meat.
What are some workouts I could do? I want to loose at least 20 pounds by next year or before summer.

Walking – If the weather is nice, it’s wonderful to get outside and enjoy the scenery around you while you exercise. However, if the weather has other ideas, you can just as easily get an effective walking workout at home. If you have a flight of stairs, go up and down them a few times. (You could even grab a load of laundry as you’re going that way anyway!) This will help to tone up your legs, while getting some low impact aerobic exercise as well. If you don’t have any stairs available, just walk around the house a few times – it may not be very exciting, but it will do the job!

Jumping Jacks – These are always fun, as they bring back memories of being a kid! Who hasn’t done jumping jacks for fun as a child? Well, surprise – they are also great cardio exercises, and good for warming up, too.

Pushups – These are probably not the most favorite exercise of many people, but while they can be hard to do, you can find easier ways to do them. You don’t need to pretend you’re “Rocky”, and do them with one hand; just do what works for you. Do them on your knees, instead of keeping your legs straight. Or, do them standing up against a wall. You will be building up arm strength and working out muscles in your chest area.

Leg Lifts – These are great for building up strength and muscles in your legs. If you find it hard to do the exercises with your legs straight, try bending them slightly.

Crunches – The best exercise for building up and strengthening abdominal muscles. When you’re just getting started, don’t worry about getting your head all the way up. So long as you’re going up until you feel the stretching of the muscles, you will see some benefit.

Jogging In Place – Jogging is a great exercise for your heart. You can jog in place at home while watching TV or listening to music. The only equipment you will require is a good pair of shoes, to eliminate any stress to your legs.

Squats – These are wonderful exercises for your legs and buttocks. You can even just try these by sitting and standing up again from a regular chair, if you’re finding them to be too difficult. As long as you’re able to do a few repetitions, you will be providing some benefit to your body.

Light Weight Lifting – No, you don’t need to go out and buy expensive weights for this! Just use whatever you can find in your house. Start out with something lighter, such as a can of peas, and work yourself up to heavier items. You can use milk jugs, laundry detergent bottles or even water jugs.

Dancing – Dancing is a wonderful exercise, which is great for your heart. Not only that, but it can lift your spirits as well, and give your overall feeling a boost.

Step Exercises – Using the steps in your home, you can do repetitions which will tone your leg muscles. (Just remember to be careful!)
