There are so many ways to die out there, but I can always avoid an untimely end by staying home and sitting on my couch. Right? Right?!?

No!

Not right!

A very wise man -- Mr. Burns from “The Simpsons” -- once said, "Sitting -- the great leveler. From the mightiest pharaoh to the lowliest peasant, who doesn't enjoy a good sit?"

Me. I no longer enjoy a good sit. I’m afraid I’ll keel over every time I spend more than 20 minutes in a chair.

Have you read the headlines?

“Is Sitting a Lethal Activity?” -- New York Times

“Sitting for More Than Three Hours a Day Cuts Life Expectancy” -- Wall Street Journal

“Is Your Office Chair Killing You?” -- Men’s Health

“Why Sitting All Day is Killing You” -- CBS News

“7 Ways Sitting Will Kill You” -- Popular Science

“All of Our Editors Died This Morning” -- Sitting Illustrated

OK, that last one is made up, but if there was a Sitting Illustrated -- and the lack of one is capitalism’s greatest failure -- that particular publication would likely be in trouble right now.

Sitting, I love you. You’re one of my favorite things I can do with my body. Are you trying to kill me?]]> http://www.livestrong.com/article/562572-the-tripping-point-how-performers-get-stuck-and-what-to-do-about-it/ Fri, 15 Mar 2013 16:46:19 -0700 http://www.livestrong.com/article/562572-the-tripping-point-how-performers-get-stuck-and-what-to-do-about-it/
You might be surprised to know that even the best performers in the world struggle with what I call “the tripping point.” At some point in their lives and careers, most of them have experienced it. Surviving it can mean the difference between failure and success.

The tripping point is different from a plateau. Plateaus are defined by measurements of progress and form a natural part of the improvement process. While they are frustrating, they mostly require patience and intelligent workouts. Tripping points often begin as plateaus, but they are more psychological in nature: Doubt or impatience turns into something more damaging, such as anxiety, fear or self-judgment. It’s when you start to believe you're just not good enough to get where you're trying to go. Tripping points can kill careers and personal ambition.

I’ll explain how the pattern typically presents itself in athletes I’ve worked with. First, an athlete finds a sport or activity he enjoys, something that makes him feel good and gives him a sense of accomplishment and success. Next, he commits to achieving that successful feeling every day. He trains harder and longer than other people, and consequently becomes very skilled at the particular sport or activity. At that point, his performance aligns almost exactly with his positive feelings of accomplishment.

But then something happens. The athlete gets good enough that he can see a payoff further down the road, beyond the internal satisfaction and joy he gets from doing the sport or activity in the first place. That payoff is usually external and attached to approval from other people -- maybe people the athlete doesn't even know and might never meet. At this point, his focus shifts from the pleasure derived from simply performing well at the particular sport or activity to the desire for the anticipated external rewards that performing well might bring him.

Liking the sport or activity itself no longer matters to the athlete at this point. He starts seeking external rewards as well as the approval and acceptance of others. He judges himself against goals instead of holding himself accountable to his performance. He works harder and plays less. He gets stuck because he cannot seem to move forward, but he feels too invested in what he has achieved so far to walk away and find something more meaningful and fulfilling -- something that rewards him inside and out.]]> http://www.livestrong.com/slideshow/562189-7-reasons-to-do-moderate-intensity-exercise-more-often/ Mon, 11 Mar 2013 15:57:52 -0700 http://www.livestrong.com/slideshow/562189-7-reasons-to-do-moderate-intensity-exercise-more-often/ http://www.livestrong.com/slideshow/559445-is-the-famous-rocky-iv-training-montage-really-a-good-workout/ Mon, 25 Feb 2013 19:05:31 -0800 http://www.livestrong.com/slideshow/559445-is-the-famous-rocky-iv-training-montage-really-a-good-workout/ DiCola’s “Training Montage” frames half of the greatest training montage in movie history. It’s so action-packed and so essential to the plot of "Rocky IV" that it had to be broken up into TWO training montages because one training montage could not contain so much wordless training and physical improvement.
The famous training montages show a series of Rocky’s workouts on a farm in the Russian countryside juxtaposed in comparison to Soviet boxer Drago’s steroid-fueled training at a high-tech, state-of-the-art Russian training facility.

We don’t realize that, as a result, our shoulders are lurching forward, which places undue stress on the neck, hips and back. We lose strength and flexibility while our joints become sore.

When one or both of the hip flexors are locked up, a natural result of sitting all day, your body sends signals to the opposite muscles. This shuts down the gluteus maximus muscles, or glutes, and makes the hamstrings less efficient. It creates a relationship where the hip flexors are dominant and the glutes submissive, inevitably leading to back pain.]]> http://www.livestrong.com/article/559441-how-to-look-cute-in-yoga-pants/ Wed, 13 Feb 2013 18:59:57 -0800 http://www.livestrong.com/article/559441-how-to-look-cute-in-yoga-pants/ http://www.livestrong.com/article/559379-knee-bend-exercises-as-opposed-to-squats/ Sun, 10 Feb 2013 17:19:02 -0800 http://www.livestrong.com/article/559379-knee-bend-exercises-as-opposed-to-squats/ http://www.livestrong.com/slideshow/559364-17-songs-to-make-you-sweat/ Thu, 07 Feb 2013 18:39:02 -0800 http://www.livestrong.com/slideshow/559364-17-songs-to-make-you-sweat/ http://www.livestrong.com/article/559342-p90x-vs-navy-seal-workout/ Sun, 03 Feb 2013 13:27:46 -0800 http://www.livestrong.com/article/559342-p90x-vs-navy-seal-workout/ http://www.livestrong.com/article/559337-stair-climbing-to-trim-fat-off-the-hips/ Sat, 02 Feb 2013 10:09:48 -0800 http://www.livestrong.com/article/559337-stair-climbing-to-trim-fat-off-the-hips/ http://www.livestrong.com/article/559335-does-a-stepper-help-stamina/ Sat, 02 Feb 2013 00:03:49 -0800 http://www.livestrong.com/article/559335-does-a-stepper-help-stamina/ http://www.livestrong.com/article/559331-mini-steppers-vs-mini-cycles/ Fri, 01 Feb 2013 16:39:49 -0800 http://www.livestrong.com/article/559331-mini-steppers-vs-mini-cycles/ http://www.livestrong.com/article/559327-nike-kinect-review-dr-mike-roussell/ Fri, 01 Feb 2013 08:36:49 -0800 http://www.livestrong.com/article/559327-nike-kinect-review-dr-mike-roussell/ http://www.livestrong.com/article/559325-nike-kinect-review-teddy-bass/ Fri, 01 Feb 2013 08:36:49 -0800 http://www.livestrong.com/article/559325-nike-kinect-review-teddy-bass/ http://www.livestrong.com/article/559328-nike-kinect-review-jeffrey-storey/ Fri, 01 Feb 2013 08:36:49 -0800 http://www.livestrong.com/article/559328-nike-kinect-review-jeffrey-storey/ http://www.livestrong.com/article/559326-nike-kinect-review-kim-strassman-eagle/ Fri, 01 Feb 2013 08:36:49 -0800 http://www.livestrong.com/article/559326-nike-kinect-review-kim-strassman-eagle/ http://www.livestrong.com/article/559323-nike-kiniect-review-bobby-neely/ Fri, 01 Feb 2013 08:35:50 -0800 http://www.livestrong.com/article/559323-nike-kiniect-review-bobby-neely/ http://www.livestrong.com/article/559324-nike-kinect-review-ramona-braganza/ Fri, 01 Feb 2013 08:35:50 -0800 http://www.livestrong.com/article/559324-nike-kinect-review-ramona-braganza/
With seven ranges of motion, including analyses such as shoulder mobility, active leg raise and rotary stability, as well as six fitness challenges, such as balance hop and stick, single leg tempo squats and high-knees skills, I knew that my benchmark scores for fitness and athleticism would be an accurate measure of my strengths and improvement areas.

The best part was that I had choices. Not only could I chose who I wanted as a virtual trainer -- I liked the sound of Marie’s voice so I picked her -- but I got to choose if I wanted to focus on getting strong, toned or lean in addition to how many days per week to work out. And, I could change my mind at any time. There were options within options to keep things fresh and motivating -- which is pretty cool -- all based on my personal profile and assessment.

Marie had me watch her before I performed any task to get the proper form, something I’m adamant about with my clients. After that, there’s an option to practice the drill to make sure you’ve got it dialed in before starting your reps. I can see how this is helpful, especially for the exercises where you shouldn’t be looking at the screen.

The assessment was a true reality check for a friend who was trying it with me. In her mind, she was much more fit than she actually was, which gave her motivation to get in better shape. Throughout the assessment, even if you weren’t great at a particular task or weren’t able to complete it at all, the messaging was always encouraging. The virtual trainer encouraged you with phrases such as, “I see you are having trouble with that,” or “I have enough information for now.” The bottom line is that you are where you are and it’s not a reason to stop but actually a real place to start.

The technology is right up there. It knows to encourage you to “lift your knees higher,” “keep your heels on the floor” or “keep your chest up.” The emphasis is on getting the optimal workout with correct form versus just going through the motions or trying to fake the system out -- which you really can’t.. It’s good to be held accountable plus you will get stronger and fitter without injuring yourself, which is the goal in the first place, right? It really is like having a live, elite personal trainer in the room with you.

After selecting your goal and going through the assessment, you choose your workout days. The workout drill matrix they select for you adapts to your progress to keep it fresh and challenging, playing on your strengths and working on your weaknesses. The adaptation comes in the form of adding time, changing speed, adding reps, adjusting the types of drills and lessening the time for rest. I really enjoyed how it wasn’t always about doing a set number. Sometimes you just maxed out. And, your "trainer" tells you when you’ve set a personal best – yeah!

The drills are creative, too. They don’t seem like workout moves but they are. I was squatting, jumping and shifting to go through virtual doors without crashing into the wall – hilarious!

It’s pretty cool to look back at your history to see how you rank and how you’ve improved in elements such as endurance, flexibility, strength, reaction speed, stability, balance and power -- not only with yourself, but also within your age bracket or community. I also thought it was a nice touch to receive an encouraging message from real Nike athletes.

And, the choices continued. I could select the music that I want to work out to with Xbox Music. I also could wear my Nike Fuel Band – a practical and easy way to incorporate my Nike products. Apps help by sending you challenge reminders and also keeping track of your progress.

Xbox LIVE lets you challenge friends, other athletes or form teams. I could see how I rank not only against myself, age group, gender but all the Kinect enthusiasts. You connect how you want to.

I also could choose a five-minute workout if I was short on time or wanted to add more after a bike ride or run. There were even more options as I ran through all the menus. Truly there are no limits.]]> http://www.livestrong.com/article/559322-dumbbell-row-vs-barbell-row-with-stronglifts/ Fri, 01 Feb 2013 06:35:50 -0800

Having ridden 30-plus years, including a brief stint as a pro cyclist in 1989 and a long-time gig as a tour leader (he'd done up to four a year since 2004), Hildenbrand felt in control of the situation.

That's because the new year gives you the perfect opportunity to make a new start on improving your life. And with the inactivity brought on by winter weather combined with the overeating that’s part of the holiday season, it’s little wonder that health, food and fitness are at the top of most lists.

So what is it this year? Lose 50 pounds? Maybe run a marathon or two?

You’re intentions may be good, but you know what they say about intentions.

It might be time to take another look at those resolutions and actually make them work for you.]]> http://www.livestrong.com/article/559107-why-fitness-plans-derail/ Fri, 11 Jan 2013 17:53:56 -0800 http://www.livestrong.com/article/559107-why-fitness-plans-derail/
Over two-thirds of Americans were overweight or obese in 2010, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and a sedentary lifestyle is a prime contributor to heart disease and early death. Tossing your fitness goals to the curb robs you of a way to avoid or at least lower such risks.

Understanding common obstacles among fitness seekers may prompt you to make savvy lifestyle choices, paving the way for positive, long-lasting results. Before beginning any exercise regimen, though, consult with your doctor -- especially if you have any pre-existing medical conditions -- to make sure you are working out at a level that's safe for you.]]> http://www.livestrong.com/article/559100-maria-del-pillar-vasquezs-true-grit/ Thu, 10 Jan 2013 17:06:25 -0800 http://www.livestrong.com/article/559100-maria-del-pillar-vasquezs-true-grit/
"Pain is temporary, but quitting is forever," Maria del Pilar Vasquez chanted to herself to keep her legs spinning.

Last July, the 40-year-old mother of three from Caguas, Puerto Rico attempted to conquer the Tour de France, the world's most grueling endurance race as part of the inaugural 2012 Réve (French for “dream”), a team of six amateur female cyclists who pedaled for 23 days and more than 2,000 miles to the glorious Paris finish, one day ahead of the pros.

As if taking on the daunting distance complete with impossibly-steep climbs weren't enough, Vasquez had the added challenge of riding with an agonizing injury she had acquired when a little red car unintentionally hit her at a busy roundabout during stage 13 of 20.]]> http://www.livestrong.com/article/559084-clubbells-vs-dumbbells/ Tue, 08 Jan 2013 21:52:51 -0800 http://www.livestrong.com/article/559084-clubbells-vs-dumbbells/ http://www.livestrong.com/slideshow/559081-20-top-trainers-best-motivational-quotes/ Tue, 08 Jan 2013 13:38:52 -0800 http://www.livestrong.com/slideshow/559081-20-top-trainers-best-motivational-quotes/ http://www.livestrong.com/article/559074-nike-kinect-review-paul-katami/ Mon, 07 Jan 2013 10:35:02 -0800 http://www.livestrong.com/article/559074-nike-kinect-review-paul-katami/
Usually I’m skeptical about anything that is a virtual version of a real person-to-person experience. I love the interaction and the sense of urgency and commitment that you get from in-person training and classes. Going in, I was hoping to be surprised. I came out of my first Nike+ Kinect Training experience a true believer.

I chose “Get Toned” from the “Let’s choose your goals” section and picked virtual trainer Alex Molden to show me the ropes and set up the program. I liked the option to choose from “Get Strong,” “Get Toned” and “Get Lean” because I can see that it touches on several populations that can use this program.

First it was time to get assessed. I’ve done fit tests before and, I have to say, this one was pretty great. The attention to detail of the programming tested balance, stability, flexibility, endurance and strength through drills and screens that I had only previously done in-person with a trainer. And Nike+ Kinect Training was accurate!

After the test I was even more impressed by the intelligent and thoughtful approach that allowed me to choose my workout schedule, and then by the multitude of awesome exercises prescribed for my goals. The tracking system is a great way to keep accountable, and if you miss a day, it’s OK -- but you WILL make it up!

I had an audience for today’s workout with Alex. My friends watching ended up being jealous after laughing at me dodging balls and doing burpees. What I liked about it was that I was constantly focused and ultimately learned that even though I think I’m fit, it’s all in the details. I appreciated the effort to focus on form and accuracy for thresholds like timing, range of motion and speed before jumping into weights and heavy loads.

The workouts are varied, fun and engaging. The most rewarding thing is the transferability of some of the workouts to everyday life. Many programs stick to the basics of conditioning, but Nike+ Kinect Training goes beyond them by incorporating impressive exercises and fun touches that have you moving in all planes and working toward better reaction time, agility, balance, coordination and much more.

I found myself loving the experience and thinking how impressed I was by the program and the elements that not only create a fitness environment at home but also elevate the “gaming” experience to one that feels more personal and rewarding.]]> http://www.livestrong.com/article/559073-nike-kinect-review-karen-jashinsky/ Mon, 07 Jan 2013 10:25:01 -0800 http://www.livestrong.com/article/559073-nike-kinect-review-karen-jashinsky/
The beginning involves goal-setting and introduces you to the animated versions of Nike trainers Alex Molden and Marie Pervis. Soon after comes a fitness test that measures your fitness and athleticism. Since getting toned was my goal, Marie put me through a bunch of bodyweight exercises. The deep squat measures range of motion, while the hurdle steps show how balanced your legs are. It was the first of many instances in which I was wowed by the motion sensitivity! I never knew my left leg was stronger than my right, especially since I’m no southpaw. I also had no idea how high my vertical jump was until Nike+ measured it for me.]]> http://www.livestrong.com/article/559072-nike-kinect-review-patrick-goudeau/ Mon, 07 Jan 2013 10:24:01 -0800 http://www.livestrong.com/article/559072-nike-kinect-review-patrick-goudeau/
The setup was actually MUCH easier than I had anticipated (as I’m not cable and/or electronically savvy at all). With the setup done, it was time to get started. Right off the bat, the graphics just blew me away. I was wide-eyed in amazement at the technology.

I chose Alex as my virtual trainer and the first thing he had me do was an assessment. I kept thinking to myself, how hard can it be? I told Alex my goal was to GET LEAN because I figured it would be mostly body weight training mixed with cardio. I found the assessment thorough and actually quite interesting. I wasn’t bored even though I was anxious to get moving. The high knee drill was intense! And I learned right away that if you don’t get those knees up high enough Alex doesn’t give you credit.

Assessment done, I chose a short 10-minute workout. Sure I could have chosen a longer workout, but I was already sweating buckets all over the floor! The workout was intense and the moves were familiar, so I found it interesting.]]> http://www.livestrong.com/article/559071-nike-kinect-review-alyse-levine/ Mon, 07 Jan 2013 10:23:01 -0800 http://www.livestrong.com/article/559071-nike-kinect-review-alyse-levine/
Overall, using the Nike+ Kinect Training program was a positive experience, but there definitely is a learning curve, and it seems like there are some "kinks" that need to be worked out.]]> http://www.livestrong.com/article/559070-nike-kinect-review-jen-sinkler/ Mon, 07 Jan 2013 10:22:02 -0800 http://www.livestrong.com/article/559070-nike-kinect-review-jen-sinkler/
Times have changed dramatically: The in-game personal trainers, Alex Molden and Marie Purvis, moved with remarkable coordination and fluidity, just as they would if they were standing in front of you. And they could: Both are real-life trainers with Nike, and they helped inform the programming behind the game. I selected Marie as my trainer for the day.

When faced with the questions “Get strong?” “Get toned?” or “Get lean?,” I went with the first option and wished for the bajillionth time that “toned” would be eliminated from the fitness lexicon. Sigh: Get strong, and you will get toned.

Marie took me through an assessment of mobility, stability, strength, balance and endurance. She complimented me on my overhead squat form, but was not as sugar-pie sweet about one of the final tests of core strength (from your hands and knees, lift your same-side arm and leg -- try it and get back to me). The program’s sensor picks up everything and rats you out to your trainer immediately.

After the evaluation was over, I selected a 15-minute workout at the maximum difficulty level. And lived to regret it.

Marie, it turns out, loves to lunge. And she loves when you lunge with her. I found it made me feel infinitely better to yell at her during the workout: “More lunges?! Marie, you are a terrible person!” I'm one who knows, however, that lunges are an excellent full-body exercise.

Postworkout, I walked out of range of the sensor to put my dumbbells away when I noticed Marie was preparing to do cool-down stretches, poised with her arms above her head. I made her stay like that for a while before I joined her. Payback.]]> http://www.livestrong.com/article/559069-nike-kinect-review-keri-glassman/ Mon, 07 Jan 2013 10:21:02 -0800 http://www.livestrong.com/article/559069-nike-kinect-review-keri-glassman/
Cute Alex Molden was in my living room talking to ME! Sorry, Marie, I had to go with Alex. I think it was the sexy voice -- gets me every time. Seriously, I felt like he was in my apartment working out with me, coaching me every step of the way. His motivational voice will keep you going -- I promise!

Anyway, back to working out.

The fact that I was able to set my goals from the beginning was awesome. For anyone just starting out, it is so important to set goals, and I loved that I could choose between getting lean, toned or strong. I chose TONED (my 9-year-old said I should choose strong, which led to a whole other conversation) since I felt that best aligned with my goal. I am hitting a new decade soon!]]> http://www.livestrong.com/article/559068-nike-kinect-review-rachel-cosgrove/ Mon, 07 Jan 2013 10:20:01 -0800 http://www.livestrong.com/article/559068-nike-kinect-review-rachel-cosgrove/
I have to say they came really close. There are some obvious differences, including being in your living room lacking the equipment to really do a progressive, effective strength workout, and the technology does have some limitations.

On the plus side, the game starts off with the Functional Movement Screen, which is the same screening tool we use at Results Fitness. They were able to include all seven tests, which is impressive because with the technology I wasn’t sure if they would be able to. I love the creativity they used to do the shoulder mobility test.

The Functional Movement Screen is the best there is to screen clients to find out how they move and where to start them on their program. Performing this screening and then choosing the exercises based on the results will set anyone up for success.]]> http://www.livestrong.com/article/559062-pilates-yoga-for-hip-flexor-strain/ Sun, 06 Jan 2013 23:29:01 -0800 http://www.livestrong.com/article/559062-pilates-yoga-for-hip-flexor-strain/ http://www.livestrong.com/article/559061-do-powerlifting-bench-presses-hurt-your-back/ Sun, 06 Jan 2013 23:25:02 -0800 http://www.livestrong.com/article/559061-do-powerlifting-bench-presses-hurt-your-back/ http://www.livestrong.com/article/559057-thigh-pain-when-doing-rear-leg-lifts/ Sun, 06 Jan 2013 21:21:02 -0800 http://www.livestrong.com/article/559057-thigh-pain-when-doing-rear-leg-lifts/ http://www.livestrong.com/article/559031-calories-burned-in-bikram-yoga-vs-running/ Tue, 01 Jan 2013 23:47:01 -0800 http://www.livestrong.com/article/559031-calories-burned-in-bikram-yoga-vs-running/ http://www.livestrong.com/article/559024-how-to-play-the-heart-healthy-tag-game/ Mon, 31 Dec 2012 08:56:02 -0800 http://www.livestrong.com/article/559024-how-to-play-the-heart-healthy-tag-game/ http://www.livestrong.com/article/559019-sprinting-techniques-for-kids/ Sun, 30 Dec 2012 22:21:02 -0800 http://www.livestrong.com/article/559019-sprinting-techniques-for-kids/ http://www.livestrong.com/article/559013-how-to-beat-january-crowds-at-the-gym/ Fri, 28 Dec 2012 13:53:04 -0800 http://www.livestrong.com/article/559013-how-to-beat-january-crowds-at-the-gym/

It did take me some time, though, to set up the room that I was going to be using. I moved all the large furniture out of the way and made sure I wasn't going to slip on any rugs.
As when starting any personal training program, the first step is to complete an assessment. The Nike+ Kinect Training program also has an assessment. It consisted of testing my general balance, agility, strength, and flexibility. The one that got me was the endurance test which you had to do running high knees for 30-seconds (3 sets!) If my knees didn't get high enough, they didn't count. After the testing you get scored for your fitness and athleticism.
After the Assessment comes a personalized training plan, aimed at improving your score when you take a re-test in 4 weeks. I was pleasantly surprised at my routine he came up with. Some of the exercises I would of never prescribed myself thinking that I didn't need them; but apparently my new virtual trainer believes I need them. I had to select the number of days per week I was going to commit to my workouts with Alex.
I'm writing this review 24 hours after doing my first 5-minute example workout, and I must say that I am hurting today, in a good way! My program was challenging, fun and exciting. It was great to be on the receiving side of a one-on-one training plan for a change. What I liked with my workout was that it truly is a functional plan. It’s not just boring traditional linear exercises.]]> http://www.livestrong.com/article/558983-nike-kinect-review-susy-sedano/ Thu, 20 Dec 2012 10:13:15 -0800 http://www.livestrong.com/article/558983-nike-kinect-review-susy-sedano/
I wasn't expecting opening the box to be so exciting; there was a video of people working out that just made the whole experience look fun. I was able to choose a male or female trainer, and I chose Alex Molden, the male trainer – and then it was go time.

The part called “Let’s choose your goals” is where my virtual trainer Alex had me started out. He asked if I wanted to: “Get strong?” “Get toned?” or “Get lean?” The Nike+ Kinect Training regiment is based around one of these three goals, so it is important to pick the one that is most in tune with what you want to accomplish.

I was a little nervous to participate in the assessment, as I'm not a fan of races or tests. The assessment is serious. It measures everything: endurance, strength, balance, and flexibility. I did lunges, plyometric jumps, push-ups, balance, speed hops, and rounded it all out with high knees. The hardest was the high knees – I had no idea that doing 3 sets of 30 seconds of running in place with high knees … sounds easy – it isn't. At the end you receive a score measuring your initial fitness and athleticism, after which you create a schedule for your workouts. I scored a 49 in fitness and a 63 in athleticism.

My virtual trainer Alex then asked me how many days I wanted to train, I selected MWF, and he congratulated me for setting a three-day-a-week plan. This is as real as it gets!

I decided to try a five-minute workout. I know what you're thinking, five-minute workout – there are options on any given day to do a training workout, group workout, or five-minute workout. I had just done a five-mile run, so I figured I'd give the five-minute workout a try. Boy was I shocked at the intensity and the real world movements – Alex had me playing dodge ball! So much fun! The program is literally (virtually) throwing balls at me, and I have a split second to avoid them by ducking, jumping, or hopping to the left or right. Mix in the occasional soccer ball, which if I successfully kick gives me more points and I am not kidding this was tough! (My friends who were watching this truly enjoyed watching me get nailed by balls repeatedly.)

The Nike+ Kinect Training program is designed with the principles of professional training in mind – it includes a lot of quick movements, agility, balance, endurance, strength moves that people actually do and that really keep you in touch with your body. You really are getting the perks of a personal trainer for the cost of one session. The program has such a great sense of your body and corrects you in real time – just like a personal trainer would.

The types of exercises you do aren’t the kind you would normally think of – there are some great movements that isolate specific muscle groups to give you a complete workout. These are the kinds of things only professionals know – and they are awesome to learn. Imagine the football combine – the exercises incorporate movements your body is designed to do, maybe things you haven't done since your were a kid playing with your friends. What’s amazing is how tired and winded you can get from working out in one place – I had no idea some of the exercises would wear me out as much as they did!]]> http://www.livestrong.com/article/558977-is-the-dip-chin-machine-good-for-a-workout/ Wed, 19 Dec 2012 22:20:55 -0800 http://www.livestrong.com/article/558977-is-the-dip-chin-machine-good-for-a-workout/ http://www.livestrong.com/article/558976-what-burns-fat-faster-low-impact-cardio-or-high-impact/ Wed, 19 Dec 2012 22:13:55 -0800 http://www.livestrong.com/article/558976-what-burns-fat-faster-low-impact-cardio-or-high-impact/ http://www.livestrong.com/article/558973-dumbbell-punching-plyometric-exercise/ Wed, 19 Dec 2012 21:30:55 -0800 http://www.livestrong.com/article/558973-dumbbell-punching-plyometric-exercise/ http://www.livestrong.com/article/558965-crossfit-workouts-with-dumbbells-vs-barbells/ Tue, 18 Dec 2012 22:41:37 -0800 http://www.livestrong.com/article/558965-crossfit-workouts-with-dumbbells-vs-barbells/ http://www.livestrong.com/article/558964-weak-legs-after-deadlifts/ Tue, 18 Dec 2012 22:37:37 -0800 http://www.livestrong.com/article/558964-weak-legs-after-deadlifts/ http://www.livestrong.com/article/558963-activities-to-help-improve-skill-related-fitness-levels/ Tue, 18 Dec 2012 22:28:37 -0800 http://www.livestrong.com/article/558963-activities-to-help-improve-skill-related-fitness-levels/ http://www.livestrong.com/article/558960-nike-kinect-review-beth-risdon/ Tue, 18 Dec 2012 11:19:35 -0800 http://www.livestrong.com/article/558960-nike-kinect-review-beth-risdon/
When I was offered to try out and review the Nike+ Kinect Training program (for Xbox 360), I was willing to give it a shot. I’m not normally a video/DVD/Xbox workout kind of person, and I have honestly kind of pooh-poohed these things in the past. After trying this program, however, I’m seeing the light.


I’ve told you that I stink with technology. It intimidates me and has been known to put me in a bad mood. Having never used an Xbox or any sort of motion sensing gaming system, I was tentative when the system arrived. I liked the idea of the Nike+ Kinect Training program because it was supposedly designed with the principals of professional training in mind – something that my daily workouts are completely lacking. I decided to slap on my workout clothes and give this thing a try. Basically, you set up a camera, and it senses you. Throughout the whole training program, you are beside a virtual trainer and you can see an image of yourself moving exactly as you are moving. Pretty snazzy.

When you first start, you set up a personal profile and pick a male or female trainer. I chose “Alex” because I’m always getting yelled at by women in boot camp and spinning classes and wanted a male presence. I don’t mind getting my butt kicked by tough men. Alex asked what my goals were: strength, tone or getting lean, and I chose strength because I am a weakling and that is all.

When you are starting out the first time, you have to go through an assessment to measure endurance, strength, balance and flexibility. I was rather cocky thinking I had these things in the bag, but as it turns out I had some work to do. I tested out the system to see if it would really tell me different things if I performed differently. On the lunges the first time I was pretty stable on both sides, and Alex told me I looked “even.” The next go round, I was less stable on one side, and Alex (my new best friend) noted that I needed more strength on the unstable side. Alex is very perceptive. I wonder if he’s available for drinks next Tuesday night.

My assessment showed what I feared, that I am really not that fit or athletic, but am slightly better than average. I wanted to ask Alex – “Okay, Mr. Trainer. But, can you run a marathon?” I also found out just how uncoordinated I really am. It is taking all of my concentration to follow the directions. And, yes, my heart rate was off the charts at certain points.

Once you have your athletic and fitness assessment, you select the number of days to train, the length of the session, and the goal for the session (strength, cardio, etc) and the difficulty.

That's too bad, because the muscles you're missing--some you're probably aware of, and some you may not be--can relieve pain, lower your injury risk, improve your posture, and improve your overall performance.

"[By ignoring these muscles], you hold yourself back. You're creating a weak link in the chain," says Shawn Arent, Ph.D., associate professor of exercise science at Rutgers University. These muscles may not be “showy,” but training them can help raise your overall results. “You'll get stronger more quickly. And you'll be able to train, pain-free, for a lot longer."

Even walking up stairs for a half hour burns 286 calories. That's approximately equivalent to walking at 3.5 mph for two hours!

"Given how exhausting running a stairwell is, a blended circuit works best," says Fabio Comana, MA, MS, NASM, director of continuing education for the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM).

That’s the utopian dream, anyway.

Here’s the reality: Many of the common fitness training “trends” that trainers use are based more on misconception, misinterpretations, and myth. The result: You pay good money for bad results. Here we’ll show you three of the most common ways personal trainers unknowingly misguide their clients, and how you can work with a trainer to get the results you’re looking for.

But wait: Don’t Blame Your Trainer for Your Poor Habits

Before we get into our list, let’s make it clear that you can’t blame your trainer for you not losing body fat if you go home and eat like a lazy teenager. It also unfair to blame your trainer for not helping you make drastic muscle gains if you only work with the trainer once or twice a week and do absolutely nothing the rest of the time.

Training is not something a fitness professional does TO you; it’s something they do WITH you. In other words, the trainer provides you with the best direction to take, based on your goals and needs. And, it’s up to YOU to keep moving in that direction throughout each day.

In this article, we’re not letting anyone off the hook. We’re providing clear-cut practical solutions for what you and your trainer can do to ensure you’re both finding the safest, most effective training direction to take.

So let’s get into it…]]> http://www.livestrong.com/article/558452-bench-press-routines-for-beginners-to-get-stronger/ Sun, 11 Nov 2012 23:12:12 -0800 http://www.livestrong.com/article/558452-bench-press-routines-for-beginners-to-get-stronger/ http://www.livestrong.com/article/558449-how-to-pump-dumbbells/ Sun, 11 Nov 2012 22:40:11 -0800 http://www.livestrong.com/article/558449-how-to-pump-dumbbells/ http://www.livestrong.com/article/558436-single-leg-squat-variation/ Sun, 11 Nov 2012 22:24:52 -0800 http://www.livestrong.com/article/558436-single-leg-squat-variation/ http://www.livestrong.com/article/558437-stair-climbing-for-beginners/ Sun, 11 Nov 2012 22:24:52 -0800 http://www.livestrong.com/article/558437-stair-climbing-for-beginners/ http://www.livestrong.com/article/558442-strategies-for-motivating-athletes/ Sun, 11 Nov 2012 22:24:52 -0800 http://www.livestrong.com/article/558442-strategies-for-motivating-athletes/ http://www.livestrong.com/article/558440-how-to-moisturize-skin-while-practicing-bikram-yoga/ Sun, 11 Nov 2012 22:24:52 -0800 http://www.livestrong.com/article/558440-how-to-moisturize-skin-while-practicing-bikram-yoga/ http://www.livestrong.com/article/558443-how-to-increase-thigh-strength-without-harming-the-knee/ Sun, 11 Nov 2012 22:24:52 -0800 http://www.livestrong.com/article/558443-how-to-increase-thigh-strength-without-harming-the-knee/ http://www.livestrong.com/article/558435-can-you-power-clean-with-dumbbells/ Sat, 10 Nov 2012 22:43:14 -0800 http://www.livestrong.com/article/558435-can-you-power-clean-with-dumbbells/ http://www.livestrong.com/article/558428-studies-on-exercise-that-boosts-a-childs-immune-system/ Fri, 09 Nov 2012 23:40:54 -0800 http://www.livestrong.com/article/558428-studies-on-exercise-that-boosts-a-childs-immune-system/ http://www.livestrong.com/article/558425-treadmill-vs-punching-bag/ Fri, 09 Nov 2012 23:22:54 -0800 http://www.livestrong.com/article/558425-treadmill-vs-punching-bag/ http://www.livestrong.com/article/558418-30-minutes-vs-two-15-minute-workouts/ Thu, 08 Nov 2012 06:52:57 -0800 http://www.livestrong.com/article/558418-30-minutes-vs-two-15-minute-workouts/ http://www.livestrong.com/article/558413-release-of-toxins-while-jogging/ Wed, 07 Nov 2012 21:34:30 -0800 http://www.livestrong.com/article/558413-release-of-toxins-while-jogging/ http://www.livestrong.com/article/558409-combining-upright-row-with-shoulder-press/ Wed, 07 Nov 2012 21:14:30 -0800 http://www.livestrong.com/article/558409-combining-upright-row-with-shoulder-press/ http://www.livestrong.com/article/558407-progressions-regressions-of-the-back-squat/ Wed, 07 Nov 2012 21:07:30 -0800 http://www.livestrong.com/article/558407-progressions-regressions-of-the-back-squat/ http://www.livestrong.com/article/558402-lat-pulls-using-a-deadlift-bar/ Wed, 07 Nov 2012 10:39:31 -0800 http://www.livestrong.com/article/558402-lat-pulls-using-a-deadlift-bar/ http://www.livestrong.com/article/558390-my-toughest-workout-gymnast-brandon-wynn/ Tue, 06 Nov 2012 10:03:51 -0800 http://www.livestrong.com/article/558390-my-toughest-workout-gymnast-brandon-wynn/
The ingredients for a powerful physique were always there for Wynn. His mom and dad are both “extremely strong,” and his grandfather was a bodybuilder. The 23-year-old says he’s “a little addicted to working out,” and a search on YouTube will bring up handfuls of videos Wynn working on his moves in the gym at Ohio State University, strengthening his densely-packed 5-foot 6-inch frame.

While men’s gymnastics includes six events –the floor, vault, pommel horse, parallel bars, high bar and the still rings – Wynn’s nickname is “Lord of the Rings” for good reason. His routine combine swings with six extremely challenging static holds—strength moves—that require him to suspend his body immobile in the air for about three seconds while keeping the rings still. All of this must happen flawlessly before he dismounts with a complicated flip – a routine that won him a gold medal at the 2011 Pan American Games.

That kind of body control doesn’t come easily. Many of his workouts last up to six hours. After a warm-up, he completes his full competition circuit, meaning all six events, two times. It’s more mentally challenging than anything, especially during the second go-round.]]> http://www.livestrong.com/article/558376-yoga-for-tightness-in-the-upper-back-neck/ Mon, 05 Nov 2012 20:04:21

That’s what my mom would say when I complained about being fat as a kid. She wasn’t completely wrong. If I wanted to lose weight, riding my bike more wouldn’t hurt. But I took her words as gospel, and for decades I equated exercise with weight loss, fooling myself into believing that I could eat like a pig as long as I was active. (Example: I used to make Doritos-and-ketchup sandwiches on white bread as an after-school snack. Don’t you dare mock me! They are fantastic.)

I did as mom said and rode my bike around our suburban neighborhood. I ran track and played on multiple sports teams in high school. In college I walked 20-30 minutes to class every day, played pickup games, and ruled intramural sports. After graduation I regularly hit the gym five times a week. Yet despite all that effort, I still looked like a Nutrisystem “before” photo.

Finally, in my 30s, I tried P90X, a high-intensity workout program that comes with a recommended diet. Following its guidelines, I shrunk my meal portions, stopped eating packaged and processed foods, and cut out alcohol. And I lost 35 pounds.

Sure, the workouts helped, but intense exercise was nothing new to me. It was the diet that finally knocked off the weight.

My point is that we all receive bad fitness advice, often from well-meaning people: parents, coaches, friends, bros at the gym getting so ripped, bro. If you’re like me, some of that bad advice sticks. But it shouldn’t.

Since its debut in 2010, Tough Mudder has become perhaps the most popular event in a growing category of obstacle races, unorthodox and often mud-caked runs strewn with additional challenges to your strength and toughness. These events attract up to 17,000 participants a weekend. Some say they believe obstacle races might be the new triathlon, attracting those who wish to push their bodies for a couple hours without purchasing an expensive bike or learning how to swim.

But obstacle races can be more challenging than triathlons because they require more body strength. Often, participants are ill-prepared for the hazards of these events. Serious injuries do occur -- which explain the multipage waivers athletes must sign before they start a race.

So if you’re intrigued by these new tests of strength and endurance, and are interested in trying an obstacle race, here are seven steps you should follow to prepare for the event. Doing so will help you avoid injury, crush the race and earn your own orange headband.]]> http://www.livestrong.com/article/557907-how-to-use-core-balance-pods/ Thu, 13 Sep 2012 11:05:30 -0700 http://www.livestrong.com/article/557907-how-to-use-core-balance-pods/ http://www.livestrong.com/article/557906-what-are-some-good-goals-to-set-for-aerobic-conditioning/ Wed, 12 Sep 2012 23:13:08 -0700 http://www.livestrong.com/article/557906-what-are-some-good-goals-to-set-for-aerobic-conditioning/ http://www.livestrong.com/article/557901-how-to-make-a-bike-faster/ Tue, 11 Sep 2012 22:35:09 -0700 http://www.livestrong.com/article/557901-how-to-make-a-bike-faster/ http://www.livestrong.com/article/557900-how-to-boost-your-endurance-if-out-of-shape/ Tue, 11 Sep 2012 22:30:09 -0700 http://www.livestrong.com/article/557900-how-to-boost-your-endurance-if-out-of-shape/ http://www.livestrong.com/article/557879-how-to-do-the-shoulder-fly/ Fri, 07 Sep 2012 23:09:46 -0700 http://www.livestrong.com/article/557879-how-to-do-the-shoulder-fly/ http://www.livestrong.com/article/557877-what-is-a-repetition-in-weightlifting/ Fri, 07 Sep 2012 11:10:47 -0700 http://www.livestrong.com/article/557877-what-is-a-repetition-in-weightlifting/ http://www.livestrong.com/article/557876-should-men-do-zumba/ Fri, 07 Sep 2012 09:58:47 -0700 http://www.livestrong.com/article/557876-should-men-do-zumba/
A quick rundown of what Zumba isn't:

-- The speediest Roomba model

-- A brand of bath salts

-- The Brazilian soccer team's top striker

It is a dance fitness program, which is the simple way to say it. More accurately, Zumba is the Huffington Post of cardio workouts. It unapologetically aggregates every other cardio dance workout in its path, consuming all. A single Zumba class might include salsa, merengue, cumbia, reggaeton, Arabian rhythms, country, samba, cha-cha-cha, belly dance, bhangra, soca, martial arts, belly dance, hip-hop, world rhythms and, possibly, the “Ickey Shuffle.”

Zumba was brought to the United States in 1999 by Alberto “Beto” Perez. Perez invented the workout as a 16-year-old aerobics instructor in his native Colombia when he forgot the music for a class and used an eclectic mixed tape instead. His students loved it. In 2001 he and his American business partners launched Zumba Fitness in the states. Today Zumba Fitness says it is the most popular branded fitness program in the world, and is being used in 125 countries by more than 12 million people every week.

While there’s been no outside study of the gender breakdown of those classes, I’m willing to bet about 95 percent of them are female. The women I talked to while reporting this article said that they never or rarely see men in their Zumba classes. A Zumba Fitness spokesperson said the official numbers are 80 percent women and 20 percent men, but at least one Los Angeles studio owner agreed with my 95/5 assessment based on attendance there.

The reasons for this are not just specific to Zumba – men in general prefer to work out alone, while women make up the majority of most cardio classes. But Zumba, as opposed to dance classes like hip-hop and breakdancing, which at least get a smattering of dudes, seems especially unpopular with men.

The question is: Why? Why don’t men Zumba? I set out to find the answer.

As it turns out, there are a few reasons. And one of them involves mustard stains.]]> http://www.livestrong.com/article/557875-the-cause-of-low-back-pain/ Fri, 07 Sep 2012 09:57:47 -0700 http://www.livestrong.com/article/557875-the-cause-of-low-back-pain/
95 percent of back pain cases (such as muscle spasms or a dull ache in the lower back) are what experts call non-specific. That means that the exact cause is usually elusive and cannot be attributable to an identifiable condition (such as infection, tumor, arthritis, or inflammation, which are specific cases, and the minority). With non-specific low back pain (LBP) being so common and so elusive, it has become a big business with Americans spending at least $50 billion each year on potential treatment and prevention strategies.

That can be a problem. Anytime you talk about an amount of money that large, you’re bound to attract experts – both legitimate and those who are, well, full of it – who claim they a) know the exact cause of your lower back pain, and b) have the cure for it.

You shouldn’t believe them – at least, not right away.]]> http://www.livestrong.com/article/557870-basic-posture-techniques/ Wed, 05 Sep 2012 22:56:53 -0700 http://www.livestrong.com/article/557870-basic-posture-techniques/ http://www.livestrong.com/article/557867-how-to-run-with-weighted-wrists/ Wed, 05 Sep 2012 22:43:52 -0700 http://www.livestrong.com/article/557867-how-to-run-with-weighted-wrists/ http://www.livestrong.com/article/557866-the-best-ways-to-heal-a-sore-calf-after-basketball/ Wed, 05 Sep 2012 22:29:53 -0700 http://www.livestrong.com/article/557866-the-best-ways-to-heal-a-sore-calf-after-basketball/ http://www.livestrong.com/article/557865-how-to-do-resistance-tube-rows/ Wed, 05 Sep 2012 22:23:53 -0700 http://www.livestrong.com/article/557865-how-to-do-resistance-tube-rows/ http://www.livestrong.com/article/557864-how-to-breathe-on-deadlifts/ Wed, 05 Sep 2012 22:19:53 -0700 http://www.livestrong.com/article/557864-how-to-breathe-on-deadlifts/ http://www.livestrong.com/article/557848-how-to-use-dumbbells-while-rebounding/ Sun, 02 Sep 2012 22:49:35 -0700 http://www.livestrong.com/article/557848-how-to-use-dumbbells-while-rebounding/ http://www.livestrong.com/article/557843-how-to-make-situps-easier/ Sat, 01 Sep 2012 08:02:37 -0700 http://www.livestrong.com/article/557843-how-to-make-situps-easier/ http://www.livestrong.com/article/557840-squat-with-bicep-curl/ Sat, 01 Sep 2012 07:45:37 -0700 http://www.livestrong.com/article/557840-squat-with-bicep-curl/ http://www.livestrong.com/article/557839-how-to-get-your-workaholic-to-work-out/ Fri, 31 Aug 2012 23:29:22 -0700 http://www.livestrong.com/article/557839-how-to-get-your-workaholic-to-work-out/ http://www.livestrong.com/article/557834-how-to-perform-cable-flys/ Wed, 29 Aug 2012 23:29:40 -0700 http://www.livestrong.com/article/557834-how-to-perform-cable-flys/ http://www.livestrong.com/article/557829-what-is-the-concept-of-karma-yoga/ Wed, 29 Aug 2012 14:37:39 -0700 http://www.livestrong.com/article/557829-what-is-the-concept-of-karma-yoga/ http://www.livestrong.com/article/557823-quad-dominant-workouts/ Tue, 28 Aug 2012 21:21:49 -0700 http://www.livestrong.com/article/557823-quad-dominant-workouts/ http://www.livestrong.com/article/557821-how-to-do-a-plank-to-work-your-core/ Tue, 28 Aug 2012 21:12:48 -0700 http://www.livestrong.com/article/557821-how-to-do-a-plank-to-work-your-core/ http://www.livestrong.com/article/557818-what-men-can-learn-from-womens-workouts/ Tue, 28 Aug 2012 09:20:46 -0700 http://www.livestrong.com/article/557818-what-men-can-learn-from-womens-workouts/
The easy generalization is to say men prefer heavy weights while women like doing Zumba. But the differences in how we work out are far more subtle than that.

“When thinking about gender differences, I consider the role of biology,” says Richard Lopez, Ph.D., a professor in Exercise Sciences at Florida International University. “But I also am thinking about influential factors like culture, significant people in our lives, mass media, and what we consider to be ‘reliable’ sources of information.

And what does that mean? That we—depending on our gender—tend to do the same things we always do. And that can hurt your training efforts.

This 23-year-old international cliff diver is thinking about the basic things: getting a nice push off the edge, keeping control of his breathing and slowing his heart rate. He’s done this jump only twice before, and because the dive he’d originally intended to do was deemed too dangerous here, he had to learn a new motion at the last minute. His feet press. He’s airborne. And then he’s underwater. The entire journey lasts three seconds.

“You don’t know if you’ve done it right until you hit the water,” Colturi says. “Even if you do the dive correctly, the water can still rip one of your legs to the side or jack you in the chin and give you a nice shock.”

Colturi, the youngest person to compete in this year’s Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series, has been training for these events for 18 years. On August 25, he’ll attempt a dive from Boston’s Institute of Contemporary Art to into Boston Harbor from 27 meters (about 88 feet) up.]]> http://www.livestrong.com/article/557811-quick-workouts-for-an-energy-burst/ Sun, 26 Aug 2012 12:35:15 -0700 http://www.livestrong.com/article/557811-quick-workouts-for-an-energy-burst/ http://www.livestrong.com/article/557807-how-to-use-a-towel-to-do-ab-crunches/ Sat, 25 Aug 2012 14:56:17 -0700 http://www.livestrong.com/article/557807-how-to-use-a-towel-to-do-ab-crunches/ http://www.livestrong.com/article/557806-how-to-improve-your-posture-and-flexibility/ Sat, 25 Aug 2012 14:52:17 -0700 http://www.livestrong.com/article/557806-how-to-improve-your-posture-and-flexibility/ http://www.livestrong.com/article/557805-how-to-broad-jump/ Sat, 25 Aug 2012 11:00:17 -0700 http://www.livestrong.com/article/557805-how-to-broad-jump/ http://www.livestrong.com/article/557803-weightlifting-for-skiers/ Fri, 24 Aug 2012 23:38:18 -0700 http://www.livestrong.com/article/557803-weightlifting-for-skiers/ http://www.livestrong.com/article/557802-how-to-breathe-while-squatting/ Fri, 24 Aug 2012 23:26:17 -0700 http://www.livestrong.com/article/557802-how-to-breathe-while-squatting/ http://www.livestrong.com/article/557798-bench-presses-vs-lat-pulldowns/ Wed, 22 Aug 2012 14:45:36 -0700 http://www.livestrong.com/article/557798-bench-presses-vs-lat-pulldowns/ http://www.livestrong.com/article/557796-dynamic-dumbbell-exercises/ Tue, 21 Aug 2012 16:46:37 -0700 http://www.livestrong.com/article/557796-dynamic-dumbbell-exercises/ http://www.livestrong.com/article/557795-exercises-to-replace-the-barbell-deadlift/ Tue, 21 Aug 2012 13:36:37 -0700 http://www.livestrong.com/article/557795-exercises-to-replace-the-barbell-deadlift/ http://www.livestrong.com/article/557793-sprinting-with-dumbbells/ Mon, 20 Aug 2012 16:11:11 -0700 http://www.livestrong.com/article/557793-sprinting-with-dumbbells/ http://www.livestrong.com/article/557790-measurable-goals-for-aerobics/ Sun, 19 Aug 2012 15:18:12 -0700 http://www.livestrong.com/article/557790-measurable-goals-for-aerobics/ http://www.livestrong.com/article/557789-cross-training-for-runners/ Fri, 17 Aug 2012 17:44:14 -0700 http://www.livestrong.com/article/557789-cross-training-for-runners/ http://www.livestrong.com/article/557788-the-effects-of-low-intensity-cardio/ Fri, 17 Aug 2012 13:27:15 -0700 http://www.livestrong.com/article/557788-the-effects-of-low-intensity-cardio/ http://www.livestrong.com/article/557784-importance-of-warming-up-for-sports/ Thu, 16 Aug 2012 03:14:23 -0700 http://www.livestrong.com/article/557784-importance-of-warming-up-for-sports/ http://www.livestrong.com/article/557780-alternatives-to-the-barbell-squat/ Wed, 15 Aug 2012 02:31:25 -0700 http://www.livestrong.com/article/557780-alternatives-to-the-barbell-squat/ http://www.livestrong.com/article/557779-things-to-avoid-while-deadlifting/ Tue, 14 Aug 2012 17:58:25 -0700 http://www.livestrong.com/article/557779-things-to-avoid-while-deadlifting/ http://www.livestrong.com/article/557775-how-to-jogging-jump-step/ Sun, 12 Aug 2012 14:21:13 -0700 http://www.livestrong.com/article/557775-how-to-jogging-jump-step/ http://www.livestrong.com/article/557773-the-forgotten-keys-to-fat-loss/ Fri, 10 Aug 2012 15:49:15 -0700 http://www.livestrong.com/article/557773-the-forgotten-keys-to-fat-loss/
Unfortunately these sales pitches have a dichotomous effect on us. On one hand, the more we watch and read and dissect the avalanche of information, the more hopeful we are that we can make things happen. Conversely, deep down, we can also feel paralyzed because we know that it’s just not that easy.

If this endless loop of television shows, news stories, websites, books, magazines, and DVDs tells us how we can go about getting our sexy on…why are we still overweight and searching for answers?

The hill interval session seemed innocuous on paper: six minutes of climbing, repeated five times. But the reality of the all-out effort made Armstrong, 38, tremble. “I try to be all cool-cat about it, but I get grumpy,” she says. “My husband will be like, what’s your problem? Then he says, ‘oh, you have intervals tomorrow, right?’”

One could say Armstrong has a Ph.D. in pain. Her willingness to hurt has earned her a third trip to the Olympics, where she’s competing as the United States’ top-ranked female time-trialist. At Athens in 2004, Armstrong (no relation to Lance) placed eighth in the women’s road race (140 kilometers). Four years later, she took gold in the 24-kilometer time trial (a speed test; the 2012 event is 29-kilometer), covering the course in a scorching 34 minutes, 51.72 seconds. The silver medalist, Britain’s Emma Pooley, was more than 24 seconds behind her.

In London, Armstrong will need to hold off Pooley in both events on her home soil to win. Enter the 5 x 6. The workout sharpens Armstrong’s speed right before competition. Its high intensity increases her threshold pace (her ability to sustain a fast pace over distance), puts more fast-twitch muscle fibers on task, and elevates her mental game. “The intervals give me that last edge,” she says. “They make you dig to places you don’t normally go.”]]> http://www.livestrong.com/article/557750-my-toughest-workout-olympic-marathoner-shalane-flanagan/ Fri, 27 Jul 2012 16:47:02 -0700 http://www.livestrong.com/article/557750-my-toughest-workout-olympic-marathoner-shalane-flanagan/
The workout was her last long run before the race, 16 miles on tired legs to mimic the 26.2-mile physical and mental challenge to come.

“It’s a tough workout because you want it to feel easier than it does,” says Flanagan, 31, who ticked off the miles with the fierce, steady grit she’s known for.

Flanagan—who owns American records in 3,000m (indoor), 5,000m (indoor), and 10,000m—is competing in her third Olympics. She raced 5000m in Athens and took home a bronze medal in the 10,000m in Beijing, becoming only the second U.S. woman to medal in the event. Despite impressive credentials, Flanagan is toeing the line in London as long-distance newcomer; the Olympic marathon will be only her third 26.2-miler.

There’s little reason to view this as a disadvantage. In her first 10,000m race, Flanagan shattered the American record, and in her 2010 marathon debut in New York City, she took first among all American women .]]> http://www.livestrong.com/article/557749-my-toughest-workout-olympic-swimmer-conor-dwyer/ Fri, 27 Jul 2012 10:23:02 -0700 http://www.livestrong.com/article/557749-my-toughest-workout-olympic-swimmer-conor-dwyer/
This summer in London, he’ll earn yet another new title: Olympian. Dwyer is set to compete for the U.S. in the 400 freestyle and 800 free relay.

“I like to go eye-to-eye with people to see how bad it can hurt,” he says. “I’m not really afraid to race anyone in the world.”

One place where Dwyer has learned some lessons in pain isn’t in the pool, but on the steps of “The Swamp,” Ben Hill Griffin Stadium, where the University of Florida Gators play football stadium. The swim teams head to the stadium three times a week during the winter for workouts. One such session requires athletes to climb 90 rows and coming back down in two minutes—repeated 10 times.

To the uninitiated, the intensity can be hard to picture. But when athletes get just one-third of the way up, they say their legs burn and feel as if they just might give out. Climbing to the top and back in two minutes is an aggressive pace, to say nothing of repeating it 10 times without letting your pace slack.

“It hurts the worst, but it gets you in shape,” Dwyer says of the workout. “You get to the last 30 steps and it gets pretty tough.”

The swim program at Florida is known for these types of marathon training sessions. Call it insurance. “You know you’ve out-trained the person next to you when you’re racing at the end of the year,” Dwyer says.]]> http://www.livestrong.com/article/557736-equivalent-exercises-to-a-kettlebell/ Thu, 19 Jul 2012 07:45:19 -0700 http://www.livestrong.com/article/557736-equivalent-exercises-to-a-kettlebell/ http://www.livestrong.com/article/557734-weight-bearing-exercises-for-older-post-menopausal-women/ Tue, 17 Jul 2012 04:57:06 -0700 http://www.livestrong.com/article/557734-weight-bearing-exercises-for-older-post-menopausal-women/ http://www.livestrong.com/article/557733-principles-of-kinesiology-in-dance/ Tue, 17 Jul 2012 03:03:07 -0700 http://www.livestrong.com/article/557733-principles-of-kinesiology-in-dance/ http://www.livestrong.com/article/557728-what-is-hot-fusion-yoga/ Sat, 14 Jul 2012 11:05:31 -0700 http://www.livestrong.com/article/557728-what-is-hot-fusion-yoga/ http://www.livestrong.com/article/557727-the-deadline-diet/ Fri, 13 Jul 2012 18:21:43 -0700 http://www.livestrong.com/article/557727-the-deadline-diet/

There are a wide variety of cardio exercises, but in general, all of them fall into one of three categories. Probably the most well-known is slow, steady-state aerobic training, which includes activities like brisk walking, jogging, biking, and rowing.

At the opposite end of the spectrum are anaerobic workouts, which consist of short, intense bursts of energy. Sprints and high-intensity interval training – repeatedly alternating short bursts of energy with brief, low-intensity activity – fall into this category.

The third type of cardio workouts fall somewhere in the middle, balancing aerobic and anaerobic activities to achieve your fitness goals.

How do you know what type of cardio is best?

There’s no right answer for everybody. But if you begin by understanding your personal fitness goals, it’s easier to choose a plan that’s right for you.]]> http://www.livestrong.com/article/557710-coenzyme-q10-vasovagal-syncope/ Tue, 10 Jul 2012 03:14:18 -0700 http://www.livestrong.com/article/557710-coenzyme-q10-vasovagal-syncope/ http://www.livestrong.com/article/557702-what-food-does-a-linebacker-need-to-strengthen-up-endure-speed/ Fri, 06 Jul 2012 06:02:33 -0700 http://www.livestrong.com/article/557702-what-food-does-a-linebacker-need-to-strengthen-up-endure-speed/ http://www.livestrong.com/article/557699-swiss-ball-military-press/ Wed, 04 Jul 2012 15:37:01 -0700 http://www.livestrong.com/article/557699-swiss-ball-military-press/ http://www.livestrong.com/article/557686-the-roles-of-spotters-in-trampolining/ Mon, 02 Jul 2012 09:39:57 -0700 http://www.livestrong.com/article/557686-the-roles-of-spotters-in-trampolining/ http://www.livestrong.com/article/557679-exercises-for-the-knees-arms/ Sat, 30 Jun 2012 13:44:23 -0700 http://www.livestrong.com/article/557679-exercises-for-the-knees-arms/ http://www.livestrong.com/article/557678-what-does-it-mean-if-you-do-situps-dont-feel-it-in-your-abs/ Sat, 30 Jun 2012 11:49:23 -0700 http://www.livestrong.com/article/557678-what-does-it-mean-if-you-do-situps-dont-feel-it-in-your-abs/ http://www.livestrong.com/article/557675-mixing-distance-training-with-sprinting/ Thu, 28 Jun 2012 23:03:23 -0700 http://www.livestrong.com/article/557675-mixing-distance-training-with-sprinting/ http://www.livestrong.com/article/557672-stretching-exercises-for-seniors-with-a-bad-back-and-knees/ Wed, 27 Jun 2012 23:19:49 -0700 http://www.livestrong.com/article/557672-stretching-exercises-for-seniors-with-a-bad-back-and-knees/ http://www.livestrong.com/article/557660-dumbbell-exercises-for-glutes/ Mon, 25 Jun 2012 14:55:36 -0700 http://www.livestrong.com/article/557660-dumbbell-exercises-for-glutes/ http://www.livestrong.com/article/557659-the-health-benefits-of-pets/ Mon, 25 Jun 2012 11:39:37 -0700 http://www.livestrong.com/article/557659-the-health-benefits-of-pets/
But they also do us good (when they aren’t gnawing on our shoes, that is). Over the last 20 years, research on human-animal interactions has emerged, proving that people who have pets are happier and healthier. They visit the doctor less often, have more fun, and feel more secure than people who don’t have pets.

Why? Despite how many gadgets we own, humans are animals—and the need to be around other animals is a fundamental part of being human, according to Alan Beck, director of the Center for the Animal-Human Bond at Purdue University.

So much noise. Enough to nearly drown out another side-effect – a positive side-effect -- of a high-profile tragedy like this: It’s not just about Junior Seau. All athletes at all levels will benefit from the attention his case brings to long-term health and safety issues. Example: The media’s rush to tell the story forces new terminology into society’s lexicon. In this case, CTE.

A month ago, CTE could’ve been a phone company. But now both sports fans and the medical community are talking in-depth about chronic traumatic encephalopathy, a condition that causes progressive degeneration of the brain tissue from repeated pounding. Symptoms include memory loss, confusion, aggression, and depression. But here’s the catch: Those symptoms may not appear until years after an athlete has quit his or her game. Here’s another catch: No test can detect it. It can only be found during a post-mortem exam. Recently, CTE has been discovered in 20 other deceased former NFL players, several NHL enforcers, and boxers.]]> http://www.livestrong.com/slideshow/557509-ultimate-summer-workout-playlist/ Mon, 04

But for anyone who has ever experimented with heart rate training, this is not only a reality but also one of the most effective ways to get into shape. The key is keeping your heart rate elevated while you training, including your rest periods. By doing so, you achieve a mythic balance—building muscular strength and improving cardio endurance at the same time.

Through careful heart rate monitoring, you can get the most benefit from the time you spend in the gym – and minimize your risk of overexertion or injury.]]> http://www.livestrong.com/article/557160-fitness-secrets-from-3-extraordinary-athletes/ Mon, 14 May 2012 16:05:07 -0700 http://www.livestrong.com/article/557160-fitness-secrets-from-3-extraordinary-athletes/
These stories may sound incredible, but for a trio of unexpected athletes, they’re normal life. Not one of these competitors was born into athletic greatness (think Michael Phelps’s wingspan), but rather earned it through self-motivation, goal-setting, and time management. Their stories show that the rewards of good health and fitness are not just measured in calories burned, and that, when you put your mind to it, there are no limits to what you can achieve.]]> http://www.livestrong.com/article/557150-machines-that-work-your-bodys-core/ Sun, 13 May 2012 18:34:07 -0700 http://www.livestrong.com/article/557150-machines-that-work-your-bodys-core/ http://www.livestrong.com/article/557142-benefits-of-jogging-with-the-wii-fit/ Sat, 12 May 2012 19:01:09 -0700 http://www.livestrong.com/article/557142-benefits-of-jogging-with-the-wii-fit/ http://www.livestrong.com/article/557131-techniques-to-run-longer/ Sat, 12 May 2012 18:59:09 -0700 http://www.livestrong.com/article/557131-techniques-to-run-longer/ http://www.livestrong.com/article/557133-facts-about-stretching/ Sat, 12 May 2012 18:59:09 -0700 http://www.livestrong.com/article/557133-facts-about-stretching/ http://www.livestrong.com/article/557130-how-to-get-your-shoulders-stronger-for-throwing-a-football/ Sat, 12 May 2012 18:57:09 -0700 http://www.livestrong.com/article/557130-how-to-get-your-shoulders-stronger-for-throwing-a-football/ http://www.livestrong.com/article/557129-scarecrow-workout-technique/ Fri, 11 May 2012 18:34:09 -0700 http://www.livestrong.com/article/557129-scarecrow-workout-technique/ http://www.livestrong.com/article/557117-duties-of-a-recreation-fitness-specialist/ Fri, 11 May 2012 18:14:10 -0700 http://www.livestrong.com/article/557117-duties-of-a-recreation-fitness-specialist/ http://www.livestrong.com/article/557085-how-to-get-a-thicker-chest/ Thu, 10 May 2012 13:13:11 -0700 http://www.livestrong.com/article/557085-how-to-get-a-thicker-chest/ http://www.livestrong.com/article/557082-alternatives-to-smith-machine-overhead-presses/ Wed, 09 May 2012 18:25:16 -0700 http://www.livestrong.com/article/557082-alternatives-to-smith-machine-overhead-presses/ http://www.livestrong.com/article/557047-the-quickest-ways-to-bulk-up-the-chest/ Tue, 08 May 2012 17:38:18 -0700 http://www.livestrong.com/article/557047-the-quickest-ways-to-bulk-up-the-chest/ http://www.livestrong.com/article/557041-exercise-routines-for-in-shape-40-year-old-women/ Tue, 08 May 2012 17:33:18 -0700 http://www.livestrong.com/article/557041-exercise-routines-for-in-shape-40-year-old-women/ http://www.livestrong.com/article/557040-how-to-pop-on-a-handstand/ Tue, 08 May 2012 17:33:18 -0700 http://www.livestrong.com/article/557040-how-to-pop-on-a-handstand/ http://www.livestrong.com/article/556996-how-to-do-leaning-twists/ Mon, 07 May 2012 06:49:48 -0700 http://www.livestrong.com/article/556996-how-to-do-leaning-twists/ http://www.livestrong.com/article/556979-how-to-stretch-before-a-maximal-exertion-workout/ Mon, 07 May 2012 06:40:49 -0700 http://www.livestrong.com/article/556979-how-to-stretch-before-a-maximal-exertion-workout/ http://www.livestrong.com/article/556987-does-liquefying-food-make-you-skinnier/ Mon, 07 May 2012 06:40:49 -0700 http://www.livestrong.com/article/556987-does-liquefying-food-make-you-skinnier/ http://www.livestrong.com/article/556945-precautions-of-stretching/ Mon, 07 May 2012 06:05:49 -0700 http://www.livestrong.com/article/556945-precautions-of-stretching/ http://www.livestrong.com/article/556940-the-easy-way-to-drop-a-size/ Mon, 07 May 2012 05:59:49 -0700 http://www.livestrong.com/article/556940-the-easy-way-to-drop-a-size/ http://www.livestrong.com/slideshow/556938-20-fitness-gadgets-that-actually-work/ Fri, 04 May 2012 16:20:53 -0700 http://www.livestrong.com/slideshow/556938-20-fitness-gadgets-that-actually-work/ http://www.livestrong.com/article/556932-how-to-find-perfect-diets/ Tue, 01 May 2012 06:17:09 -0700 http://www.livestrong.com/article/556932-how-to-find-perfect-diets/ http://www.livestrong.com/article/556851-how-to-get-in-the-best-physical-shape-for-a-woman/ Sat, 28 Apr 2012 18:29:12 -0700 http://www.livestrong.com/article/556851-how-to-get-in-the-best-physical-shape-for-a-woman/ http://www.livestrong.com/article/556850-ten-reasons-why-hiking-is-good-for-you/ Sat, 28 Apr 2012 18:28:13 -0700 http://www.livestrong.com/article/556850-ten-reasons-why-hiking-is-good-for-you/ http://www.livestrong.com/article/556814-how-to-keep-air-in-a-fitness-ball/ Fri, 27 Apr 2012 15:03:14 -0700 http://www.livestrong.com/article/556814-how-to-keep-air-in-a-fitness-ball/ http://www.livestrong.com/article/556808-yamuna-body-rolling-techniques/ Fri, 27 Apr 2012 15:01:13 -0700 http://www.livestrong.com/article/556808-yamuna-body-rolling-techniques/ Yamuna body rolling combines elements of massage and stretching. In theory, it reduces restriction, improves range of motion and helps to preserve mobility. The method involves using 6-inch to 10-inch balls to perform movements intended to tone and relax the body. This self-directed method may help to elongate muscles, improve posture and reduce pain, according to the University of Wisconsin Health website.]]> http://www.livestrong.com/article/556796-how-to-stop-rf-from-interfering-with-an-exercise-treadmill/ Fri, 27 Apr 2012 14:58:14 -0700 http://www.livestrong.com/article/556796-how-to-stop-rf-from-interfering-with-an-exercise-treadmill/ http://www.livestrong.com/article/556788-how-to-get-slim-firm-at-the-age-of-60/ Fri, 27 Apr 2012 14:56:14 -0700 http://www.livestrong.com/article/556788-how-to-get-slim-firm-at-the-age-of-60/ http://www.livestrong.com/article/556790-how-to-be-able-to-do-horizontal-splits/ Fri, 27 Apr 2012 14:56:14 -0700 http://www.livestrong.com/article/556790-how-to-be-able-to-do-horizontal-splits/ http://www.livestrong.com/article/556784-5-fun-new-ways-to-shape-up/ Thu, 26 Apr 2012 09:46:16 -0700 http://www.livestrong.com/article/556784-5-fun-new-ways-to-shape-up/
Here’s the good news: Several fitness enthusiasts -- including gymnasts, dancers, drummers and a former pro hockey player -- have developed innovative ways for you to get fit and have fun doing it.

They’ve taken the activities they love and combined them with traditional fitness training to create exercise classes that provide serious conditioning and fun. They’re all part of a trend toward hybrid workouts (sometimes referred to as fusion fitness), in which at least two different disciplines -- for example, boxing and Pilates -- are combined to form a new activity that can be even more powerful.

“The beauty of these workouts,” says Lashaun Dale, Equinox Fitness Clubs’ senior national group fitness creative manager, “is that they allow people to get a broader range of physical benefits in less time.”

Dale says that fusion fitness classes are quickly growing in popularity. “More and more of our customers are looking for diversity in their workouts -- so they can dance a little, stretch a little and get stronger.”

Here are five inventive activities that are gaining fans across the country.]]> http://www.livestrong.com/article/556779-ballet-exercises-for-fifth-grade/ Wed, 25 Apr 2012 15:49:04 -0700

Walking.

Well, it’s not quite that simple. It’s walking while carrying weights, an exercise we call the “Farmer’s Walk” in gym-speak. The move is surprisingly tough, and when performed correctly, it challenges all of the muscles in your body, helping you build a rock-solid core and burn away calories faster than anything else you could do.

Interested? Then follow this plan and you’ll be able to walk your way to a better body.]]> http://www.livestrong.com/article/556417-use-of-weighted-vests-in-endurance-sports/ Tue, 10 Apr 2012 18:51:45 -0700

But if you’re like most of us, you are the person in charge of your lifting plan – choosing your exercises, setting goals for sets and reps, and figuring out how to cram it all into the limited free time you have to hit the gym. So how do you design a workout that best meets your needs?

Thankfully, it’s easier than you think. The following series of simple moves will help you determine your strengths and weaknesses. Once you know the areas where your body is powerful (and where it needs work), you can choose exercises to help you reach your fitness goals.]]> http://www.livestrong.com/article/553654-easing-rib-pain-from-abdominal-exercises/ Tue, 17 Jan 2012 16:53:10 -0800 http://www.livestrong.com/article/553654-easing-rib-pain-from-abdominal-exercises/ http://www.livestrong.com/article/553651-training-101-build-a-better-workout/ Tue, 17 Jan 2012 16:52:10 -0800 http://www.livestrong.com/article/553651-training-101-build-a-better-workout/
Sound like you?

If so, stop. You need to give your rudderless workouts some direction. It’s time to make a plan that will actually get you the results you want, in the limited free time you have to exercise. The good news? You can strengthen your entire body in a 40-minute workout, performed three times a week.]]> http://www.livestrong.com/article/553649-exercising-the-calves-with-steps-sitting-down/ Tue, 17 Jan 2012 16:50:10 -0800 http://www.livestrong.com/article/553649-exercising-the-calves-with-steps-sitting-down/ http://www.livestrong.com/article/553642-sprinting-for-grappling/ Tue, 17 Jan 2012 16:41:10 -0800 http://www.livestrong.com/article/553642-sprinting-for-grappling/ http://www.livestrong.com/article/553641-exercises-for-rapid-arm-growth/ Tue, 17 Jan 2012 16:41:09 -0800 http://www.livestrong.com/article/553641-exercises-for-rapid-arm-growth/ http://www.livestrong.com/article/553633-what-does-conditioning-week-mean-in-football/ Tue, 17 Jan 2012 16:36:10 -0800 http://www.livestrong.com/article/553633-what-does-conditioning-week-mean-in-football/ http://www.livestrong.com/article/553623-which-is-better-to-build-the-legs-a-treadmill-or-weights/ Tue, 17 Jan 2012 16:29:09 -0800 http://www.livestrong.com/article/553623-which-is-better-to-build-the-legs-a-treadmill-or-weights/ http://www.livestrong.com/article/553621-are-there-dangers-to-strenuous-exercise-over-60/ Tue, 17 Jan 2012 16:26:09 -0800 http://www.livestrong.com/article/553621-are-there-dangers-to-strenuous-exercise-over-60/ http://www.livestrong.com/article/553624-salty-meals-arthritis/ Tue, 17 Jan 2012 16:25:10 -0800 http://www.livestrong.com/article/553624-salty-meals-arthritis/ http://www.livestrong.com/article/553620-sore-legs-on-game-day/ Tue, 17 Jan 2012 16:24:10 -0800 http://www.livestrong.com/article/553620-sore-legs-on-game-day/ http://www.livestrong.com/article/553614-how-a-football-feels-when-inflated-correctly/ Tue, 17 Jan 2012 16:20:11 -0800 http://www.livestrong.com/article/553614-how-a-football-feels-when-inflated-correctly/ http://www.livestrong.com/article/553611-sore-neck-muscles-after-treadmill-walking/ Tue, 17 Jan 2012 16:18:10 -0800 http://www.livestrong.com/article/553611-sore-neck-muscles-after-treadmill-walking/ http://www.livestrong.com/article/553601-weight-training-and-fast-negative-movement/ Mon, 16 Jan 2012 20:25:56 -0800 http://www.livestrong.com/article/553601-weight-training-and-fast-negative-movement/ http://www.livestrong.com/article/553598-chlorogenic-urticaria-exercise/ Mon, 16 Jan 2012 20:23:56 -0800 http://www.livestrong.com/article/553598-chlorogenic-urticaria-exercise/ http://www.livestrong.com/article/553587-hip-abductor-strengthening-exercises-for-multiple-sclerosis/ Mon, 16 Jan 2012 20:14:55 -0800 http://www.livestrong.com/article/553587-hip-abductor-strengthening-exercises-for-multiple-sclerosis/ http://www.livestrong.com/article/553578-exercises-to-stop-your-shoulders-from-getting-wider/ Mon, 16 Jan 2012 19:58:55 -0800 http://www.livestrong.com/article/553578-exercises-to-stop-your-shoulders-from-getting-wider/ http://www.livestrong.com/article/553576-what-is-better-barbell-rollout-or-ab-wheel/ Mon, 16 Jan 2012 19:56:56 -0800 http://www.livestrong.com/article/553576-what-is-better-barbell-rollout-or-ab-wheel/ http://www.livestrong.com/article/553564-elliptical-vs-treadmill-for-breathing-problems-and-coughing/ Mon, 16 Jan 2012 18:58:56 -0800 http://www.livestrong.com/article/553564-elliptical-vs-treadmill-for-breathing-problems-and-coughing/ http://www.livestrong.com/article/553558-attaching-additional-weights-to-dumbbells/ Mon, 16 Jan 2012 17:45:56 -0800 http://www.livestrong.com/article/553558-attaching-additional-weights-to-dumbbells/ http://www.livestrong.com/article/553553-what-to-eat-when-you-just-joined-a-gym/ Mon, 16 Jan 2012 17:28:56 -0800 http://www.livestrong.com/article/553553-what-to-eat-when-you-just-joined-a-gym/ http://www.livestrong.com/article/553551-fast-can-run-elliptical/ Mon, 16 Jan 2012 17:19:56 -0800 http://www.livestrong.com/article/553551-fast-can-run-elliptical/ http://www.livestrong.com/article/553546-pitch-strength-conditioning-drills-for-rugby/ Mon, 16 Jan 2012 16:56:56 -0800 http://www.livestrong.com/article/553546-pitch-strength-conditioning-drills-for-rugby/ http://www.livestrong.com/article/553540-squatting-for-wrestlers/ Mon, 16 Jan 2012 16:25:56 -0800 http://www.livestrong.com/article/553540-squatting-for-wrestlers/ http://www.livestrong.com/article/553519-combination-squat-exercises-for-hip-extensions/ Sun, 15 Jan 2012 22:50:57 -0800 http://www.livestrong.com/article/553519-combination-squat-exercises-for-hip-extensions/ http://www.livestrong.com/article/553508-a-biceps-and-triceps-workout-with-a-weighted-mini-pole/ Sun, 15 Jan 2012 20:07:58 -0800 http://www.livestrong.com/article/553508-a-biceps-and-triceps-workout-with-a-weighted-mini-pole/ As resistance training equipment has evolved, some of it became more specialized and complicated, requiring extra time to adjust it and change weights. Simple equipment such as a weighted minipole allows you to perform a targeted biceps and triceps workout with one piece of equipment. A minipole, also called a weighted bar or sculpting bar, offers a basic weight for resistance training. Check with your doctor before beginning any exercise program, especially if you have health problems.]]> http://www.livestrong.com/article/553498-how-to-use-a-chain-to-build-your-forearms/ Sun, 15 Jan

Flab's stubbornness to go away has fueled a billion-dollar industry of magic bullet pills, diets, machines and exercise DVDs. Still, shedding the fat can seem almost impossible -- and it may be because we have the gun pointed at ourselves. We sabotage our fat-burning fantasies with bad planning, poor tactics and inaccurate tracking.

Get out of your own way. Avoid these common mistakes to make the fight against flab a fair one.]]> http://www.livestrong.com/article/553133-pain-in-my-triceps-when-benching/ Wed, 11 Jan 2012 01:57:58 -0800
