Life Ain't Easy: Train Anyway
Most of us spent a huge portion of our childhood being told to do things we didn’t want to do. We had to be told every day to get out of bed, get ready for school, eat our vegetables, do our homework, brush our teeth. And on it went on for years, until we finally struck out on our own in the world, fully capable of doing it all for ourselves.

Water Burns: Tread Water to Lose Fat
I’ve been a big guy all of my life. I was that awkward kid in junior high who was taller and definitely heavier than every kid in my class. Naturally, I migrated to football and found my home at center. Big guys are necessary on the offensive line, but what happens when you aren’t suiting up for a game on Saturday and don’t need that weight to tackle an opponent?

A 12-Week GPP Programme for Kettlebell Sport Athletes
I often get asked what the best form of general physical preparedness (GPP) for kettlebell sport is. Most people would like a quick “silver bullet” solution and get frustrated by my answer: it depends.
The truth is, the variables of exercise selection, intensity, and duration are many. Each athlete is a unique and beautifully complex individual. There isn’t a golden programme that will sort everything out for everyone, and this holds true in kettlebell sport as much as any other discipline. via Blogger http://corneliussteinbeck.blogspot.com/2016/03/a-12-week-gpp-programme-for-kettlebell.html March 31, 2016 at 05:22AM

Basic Moves For Crushing Your Lower Abs
http://ifttt.com/images/no_image_card.png Tired of not having that six pack you always dreamed of? Your lower abs are the most challenging to tone up. Body fat seems to settle in the lower abdominal section and if you want your muscles to show you’re going to have to shed every bit of that fat. Strict diets can help but the biggest secret is the workout. Hundreds of sit-ups and crunches aren’t going to get you there. You’ll have to retrain your muscles from various angles and diversify all of your workouts. If your lower abs are shredded, you’ve been doing hard work and it shows.

Here are four simple exercises that can help you crush your lower abs and show off those abs in no time.Hanging Reverse Crunches This is a challenging alternative to crunches.

Hold the contraction for several seconds and return to your starting position. keeping the abs tight during the entire motion this will help your body tone up those muscles. Increase your sets and make it more challenging by changing it up to seated, hanging and other positions. You could also add weight to the exercise. Bench Crunch Crush A variation of the hanging reverse crunch, this is done on a regular basis to strengthen the core muscles. It will tone the lower abs and help to burn off fat. Simply use a bench on the vertical with elbow rests and place your body in the hanging position. Lift the knees high and keep the abs tense. Lower the knees in a controlled movement. Cable Crunches Include these in the workout as well. They will target both lower and upper abs. To begin tie a rope to the pulley or to the lat pulldown machine. Use your hand or your wrist against your head a hold the rope. Lean over and tighten the abs. Bring the elbows to the mid of the thighs and squeeze hard. Return to the starting point.
