Lose Calories With 3 Super Beneficial Work-Out At Home Exercises

I have always heard about people complaining about not having enough time to go to the gym to train or being too lazy to make the trip down to the gym. For others, it could simply be that gym membership is too expensive or they find it a waste of money to subscribe to one. While I agree that making the way down to the gym could be a bit troublesome, one does not actually need to go to the gym to have a good effective workout. In fact, working out does not need to involve very expensive gear, sophisticated equipment or a lot of space. If one does not know the right way to train, it makes no difference if he or she trains at the gym or not.

To sculpt great looking abs and body, one can simply start at home by performing dynamic total body exercises. These exercises work all the major muscle groups including the abs, at the same time, leading to greater fat loss and muscle gain. The body is designed to move and so, it is important to train it to keep moving and to keep moving efficiently. Anybody will find it useful and feel himself or herself getting fitter by including these 3 super beneficial exercises in their training program.

Squat with a Kick (lower body, abs, back, overall conditioning)

1: Start by standing with feet close together.
2: Keep arms up with elbows facing forward.
3: lower down into a squat as low as possible, keeping feet flat on floor.
4: As you stand back up, raise right knee up and extend to a kick.
5: Go back down into a squat when the right foot goes back down to floor.
6: Kick up with left leg, and then repeat on each side.

Inch Worms (Abs, back, hamstrings)

1: Begin in push-up position; perform a push-up, keeping stomach tight.
2: While keeping knees straight, raise hips and walk hands towards feet as fat as you can while keeping knees straight.
3: Walk hands back to starting position.
4: Repeat from the push-up.

Walkouts (Abs, back, legs, shoulders)

1: Start standing; bend over and place hands on floor.
2: Walk hands out until in the push-up position.
3: Walk hands back to standing position, and then repeat.
4: For a challenge, add a push-up at the end of each walk-out before returning to standing position.
Follow these 3 simple but effective routine without the need to use any gear or equipment at the comfort of home and start losing those calories fast.

Why Women Should Train Different Than Men

It’s no big secret that a women’s idea of what the perfect body is for her is vastly different from what a man’s idea of what the perfect body for him is. Men and women store fat differently, and because women are predisposed to naturally maintain higher body fat levels than men, most women have a harder time trying to keep extra fat off.

Most women also do not go to the gym to workout with the notion of wanting to get big muscles like a lot of men do nor do they have the desire to look like any of the men in the gym. So then, why would most women want to do the same kind of workouts as most men do?

The fact is, a lot of women go to the gym only to end up doing the same kind of exercises and routines as the men do because that’s the way they’ve been taught to do it by their boyfriends and husbands. The problem usually is, the men are lifting heavier weights and doing fewer repetitions in order to increase muscle mass.

Now while women do not have near the testosterone levels as men, meaning they do not have the same muscle growth potential, they can still see some major increases in their muscle size if they always train that way. Everyone, man or woman, will respond to lifting heavy with low repetitions with muscle growth. That is your muscles trying to adapt to the heavy loads placed upon them. They need to get stronger for the next time, and a bigger muscle is a stronger muscle.

When a woman weight trains to get firm and toned but does not want to body build, there are some things she can do that will get her the results she wants without the extra mass. Remember, it is not the particular exercises men do that create mass, but the way they do them. If you do all the same exercises only you use somewhat lighter weight, and instead of the 8-10 repetitions most men do, you do 15-20 reps, you will tone up with no bulky side effects.

There are circuit training programs that utilize aerobics and resistance training all in one, and these programs are perfect for women. These programs are designed to give you a fat burning workout while at the same time giving you a muscle toning workout without adding extra muscle size.

 You should be doing these routines 4-6 days per week because unlike muscle building routines, you do not need as much recovery time. Once you get to where you want to be, doing these routines 2-3 times per week is usually plenty to maintain your results.

The bottom line is, if you want to lose fat, increase muscle tone without adding size, and you want to flatten your tummy and lift your rear, than don’t train like a man, train like a woman.
