Many people wish they could get in shape but they are not 100% sure how to go about doing it. Yes they may know that lifting weights and hitting the gym is the route to go, but there may be some roadblocks in place that prevents them from doing it. They may not have the time to go to the gym or they many not have the extra money to afford a membership. This can prove to be problematic because hitting the gym leads to the growth of lean muscle mass. Read the rest of this entry »

The v-sit is an effective abdominal and core exercise that works the rectus abdominis, the external obliques and internal obliques. This exercise also engages the hip flexors.

How to Do It

* Begin in a seated position, contract your abdominal muscles and core, and lift your legs up to a 45-degree angle.
* Reach your arms straight forward or reach up toward your shins as you are able.
* Maintain good core posture and a strong spine.
* Hold this “V” position for several seconds to begin. As you get stronger, hold the position longer.
* Return to your starting position slowly.
* Just before you reach the floor, stop and hold the position for a few seconds.
* Repeat this entire movement several times.

The emotional and mental strain of dieting has been felt by most people at some point in their lives. With many, those extra few pounds accumulate to a point where they get fed up and launch themselves into a dreaded DIET.

However, here are a few, the last of these being what many consider to be the biggest challenge with respect to losing weight. Here are some of the most common hurdles: Read the rest of this entry »

Note:  My friend and fitness author Jon Benson shared this letter with me and gave me permission to share it with you.

If you ever needed another good reason to exercise, I’ve got one for you:

Exercise makes your brain bigger.

Actually this isn’t entirely accurate. To be more specific, exercise was found to increase brain size slightly, but far more important to increase “spatial reasoning.”

This is the ability to recognize patterns, remember phrases, numbers, and so-on. This was discovered by researchers at the Universities of Chicago and Pittsburgh.

It is also one of the most important factors to the prevention of Alzheimer’s and dementia.

My mom suffered with dementia the last ten years of her life. But unlike most dementia patients she was fully functional thanks to exercise. She drove and had a mind that was unbelievably sharp right up until an accident injured her beyond the ability to exercise.

After that, she mentally went downhill rapidly. Thankfully, she passed in peace… and she had ten wonderfully active years thanks to her willingness to take up weight training at the age of 71.

She eventually walked up to 3 miles per day and trained in the gym 3 days per week.

That kept her mind sharp, along with fish oil and N-Acetyl L-Carnitine, a wonderful brain nutrient.

Once again, we see the power of exercise. It increases the QUALITY of your life.

Quantity is no where near as important to me as quality.

One of the best ways to start exercising when you are over 40 is by using the routines covered in “Fit Over 40″.

This book profiles 53 different men and women, age 40 to 80, all sharing their workouts, nutrition plans, and mental empowerment techniques.

It is a MUST-HAVE for anyone wanting to begin exercising or improve their level of fitness after the age of 40.

It may seem like the reverse crunch is for the lower abs but, remember, the rectus abdominis is one long muscle, so you can’t separate upper from lower. To do this move right:

1. Lie on the floor and place hands on the floor or behind the head.
2. Bring the knees in towards the chest until they’re bent to 90 degrees, with feet together or crossed.
3. Contract the abs to curl the hips off the floor, reaching the legs up towards the ceiling.
4. Lower and repeat for 12-16 reps.
5. It’s a very small movement, so try to use your abs to lift your hips rather than swinging your legs and creating momentum.
