KILLER ABS

How many of you have picked up a magazine and it promises you abs in 10 minutes or abs in 3 minutes etc. The truth is there is no secret formula or exercise to getting strong ripped abs. The fact is, we all have abs, just many of us can't see them because of the layer or layers of fat on top of them.
Get rid of the fat and the abs will show. In saying this, it doesn't mean you shouldn't workout your mid section. A total body workout is the key to an overall healthy and fit body.

Here are a few of my favourite exercises that will help sculpt your midsection.

 Doing 3 to 4 sets of 20  3 X a week on each is a great start for sculpting that mid section


1- PLANKS


2 - SIT-UPS 

3 - CRUNCH WITH A TWIST

4 - LEG RAISERS

5 - PLANK WITH CROSS BODY KNEE DRIVE



CROSSFIT

CROSSFIT THE NEW CRAZE!!!!!

Don't expect anything different from a circuit class. Crossfit is just a new term to describe your old fashioned circuit class. It is a great fat-burner that involves varied functional movements such as pulling, pushing, squatting, running and lifting, all executed at very high intensity.

The good thing about a circuit / cross fit class is that it targets all levels, from beginners to advance. The workouts will help improve your 
  • strength, 
  • endurance, 
  • stamina, 
  • power, 
  • speed, 
  • flexibility and 
  • coordination


If you can't get to a gym than try doing one of my circuit programs that I have posted on this blog. You can increase the intensity and strength by incorporating weights, steps, bands, increasing your speed. 

Try to get 45mins of a mixed workout, 4 to 5 times a week to achieve the optimal level of a Healthy and Balanced Lifestyle.
