Workout regiment

I had a very good friend give me a suggestion that I find extremely valuable. He expressed interest in knowing what workouts other people do and have had success with. Also he gave feedback that it would be valuable to have guest posting. I love the ideas and I am in the process of learning how to do these and other things the best way. For now, if you have a desire to post something other than a comment; contact me and we will feature you as our guest blogger. For now we will have you send your post to me in an email and I will copy it into a blog. For today's post I thought I would post what I believe is one of the ultimate cross training lifts that one can do. I have had personal trainers tell me that a squat is one of the most complete lifts that a person can do because it works the entire body. I have found another, and it may be hard to explain without seeing, so I will post a video in the future. What you do is grab a pair of dumb bells of equal weight. It is important not to grab something to light, but this is not a power lift either. You lay down on your back on a free-standing bench. Slide your head all the way to the top and position the dumb bells at your chest as though you were going to do the bench press. The most important part to this lift is elevating your legs between 30-45% angles. Keep your legs firm and pointed as to work your legs and really work your abs. As you lift the dumb bells you will take them to their highest point and rotate them touching the insides, then the outsides, and finally the middles of the dumb bells. Repeat this 10 times. As you reach 10 maintain your angle with your legs and now put your dumb bells right next to each other just barely above your chest. Keep them squeezed together as you go up and down in one solid motion, 10 times. After this lift you will continue to keep your legs elevated and put down one of the weights to the floor. After doing so take the one dumb bell and place it above your head and do 10 repetitions with you extending the weight as high as you can get it and then slowly coming down above your head and get as close to the ground with the weight as possible. After the 10 repetitions you are done and can put the other weight on the floor. After a 30 second break stand up and take the weight positioning it above and behind your head. You will do 10 reps in the vertical position going up and down from above your head to in between your shoulder blades. You will repeat this 3 or 4 times depending on how your body feels. You don't want to burn out and drop the weight on your face, ( I have done it). This workout is what I believe one of the best for your body. You work your core very hard so it is important to know your limits. If the weight is too heavy stop!!! immediately and get a lower weight. Your body in that natural position is working your calf's, hamstrings, gluts, quads, and abs. With the weights you are working your biceps, triceps, chest, fore arms, shoulder and back muscles. Try it this next week only once until you know how your body responds. The key is also to keep going as fast as you can so that you are breathing hard, which will strengthen your heart and help with your endurance. With your heart rate up, it could be considered a cardio exercise which is burning fat and building great lean muscle. That is all for today. Have a great one....
