How To End Your Daily Workout : STRETCHING

Posted by AJ Wednesday, April 23, 2008 0 comments

End your workout with 10 minutes of stretching.
This area is often overlooked by men. It is extremely important to stretch as it opens up the worked out muscles, preventing stiff joints and soreness.
Following are few stretching techniques to open up your muscles.

Toe Touch
Stand and slowly bend forwards from the hip reaching down for your toes. Hold on to your legs without bouncing.
The stretch should be held for 20 seconds.
You should feel it in your back, hips and back of the legs.


Chest, Biceps and Shoulder Stretch
Stand and link your fingers behind your hips. Raise the arms as high as possible pushing the chest out to the front.
Hold for 20 seconds.



Back Stretch
Link your fingers to the front. Now push the hands forward and round your back towards the back wall. Feel the stretch all over the back.



Quadriceps stretch
Bend your right knee and pull the heel into the hip with your hands. Repeat with other leg. You will feel a stretch in the front of your thighs.




Abs Stretch
Lie on your tummy. Prop yourself up on your elbows. Push the elbows into the floor and backwards while pulling your torso forwards and upwards. Feel a stretch in the tummy.
Relax with your face turned over to one side for 2-3 minutes relaxing your breathing.



Follow the above stretches after your daily workout and relax your muscles, so that next day you can again charge them up with out any strains.

Thanx,

New AGE Workout : Phase- II mainly for Abs & Lower Body

Posted by AJ Thursday, April 17, 2008 0 comments

Friends in my last blog I have talk about the New Age Workouts and which is still continuing. In the last post the three exercise that I explained that mostly for your upper body parts, but the three exercises that i am explaining here are mainly for your Abs and lower body parts like hips & thighs.

As it is essential to have both our upper & lower body banaced to have an excellent body this New Age Workout techiques takes care of each and every part of your body, thats why these are widely popular these days and mostly it will helps you develop your Abs easily.

New Age Workout: Phase - II

Its all about balance, strength and flexibility. So here we use the ball, only for todays exercises. These exercises give you an edge over the typical bulked up, stiff gym guys!

1. Lunges: Works your Quadriceps, Hips, Inner and Outer Thighs
Balance yourself on your left leg and place your right leg on the ball, keeping it close to your left leg. Now extend the left leg to the side rolling the ball out and simultaneously bending your left knee, pushing your hip backwards. Straighten the leg and bring the ball back in towards the left leg.
16 reps rest and repeat. Then change legs and do 2 sets.

2. Pass the Ball Abs: Works the Upper and Lower Abdominals
Lie on your back, holding the ball in your hands overhead. Raise your legs straight up to 90 degrees. Now raise the ball up to pass it onto your legs. Grip the ball between your feet and lower your legs till they are about 30 degrees off from the floor. Lift the legs up again and pass the ball to your hands. Take your hands back to the overhead position and repeat.
Every time you perform a lifting move, you will be using yoru abdominal muscles. Contract them hard.
Do 16 reps, rest and repeat.
3. Obliques: Works the Oblique Abdominal muscles that criss-cross in front of your Tummy.
Sit on the ball and very slowly roll out till your lower and middle back are supported on the ball. Link your fingers behind your head. Lift and twist your body towards the left leg, squeezing your tummy muscles. Lower to start position and repeat.
Work one side at a time. Do 16 reps then repeat the other side.



By doing this exercise on the ball you are challenging your balance and stability which makes the exercise tougher to do that on the floor.

New AGE WorkOut : Simple Exercises to have an Edge with Balance, Strength and Flexibility

Posted by AJ Wednesday, April 16, 2008 0 comments

Whenever we saw people having body with solid cuts, we wonder how many hours he must be spending in a gym, and when we saw a person having that kind of body but have the ultimate flexibility we start work in our brain is that really possible. A Body with both Strength and Flexibility what every one wants because that is the sign of a perfect balanced body. But very few people have that idea how to build it. And in getting that most of the people end up spending hours in the gym and as a result if at all they gain strength they have loosened their flexibility.

Any one who have seen the body of Bollywood Superstar Hritik Roshan, he/she doesn't need to explain whats a body with strength & flexibility is. The cuts on the chest, biceps, shoulders shows the ultimate strength while his dance moves may it be from latest Crazy4 or Lakhya or Koi Mil Gaya shows the ultimate flexibility one can have.

As in this section of my blog I am explaining about simple exerises that you can do at your home with few things and can become the owner of a very beautiful body and can become envy of any regular gym guy.

This ultimate balanced body can be built at your own mini Gym with New Age Workout Techniques. You doesn't required high power machines for that only a tube and a ball can give you that strength and flexibility.

There are in total Eight exercises in this New Age Workout Techniques. In this blog I will train you about the first three for which you need a tube only.

New Age Workout : Phase - I

These exercises give you an edge over the typical bulked up, stiff gym guys!
1. Bicep Curls: This works your biceps and balance
Stand on the center of the tube with one leg. Keep the other knee raised. Hold both handles of the tube in your hands, arms by your sides and palms facing forwards. Bend your elbows and bring your hands to your shoulders. Lower to start position.
Do one set of 16 reps, rest and repeat standing on other leg. To add to the challenge, raise the knee up and down.
2. Triceps Extension and Calf Raise: This exercise works your triceps, calves and seriously challenges balance and coordination.
Hold the tube in your hands as shown in the illustration. Stand with your feet hip distance apart and tummy muscles tight. Make sure your back does not arch. Perform the triceps extension and calf raise simultaneously.
Lift the top hand, till the arm is straight up towards the ceiling, pulling at the tube. Gently lower. At the same time, come up on your toes, lifting your heels as high as possible, squeezing your calves and gently lower.
Try not to touch your feet to the floor as you come down.
Do one set of 16 reps, rest and repeat with the other arm.
3. Lateral Raise: Works your shoulders
Stand on the tube with your feet wide apart. Cross the tube, holding the opposite handles in the hands, palms facing each other. Raise the arms out to the sides till they are in line with the shoulders and no higher. Slowly lower.
Do One set of 16 reps, rest and repeat.
The rest of the five exercise I will explain in my next Blog. You can have an advance edge over any gym going body builder the only thing required is you motivation to be the owner of a strong and beautiful body and you should be regular in your workout otherwise it will not help you.

I have saw many people who neglect their health and finally they became walking hospital beds carry many high sounding medical problems like diabetics to cardiac problem to hyper tension to acute stress and making these name very common day by day. For this I am working for a long time with my friends, with my colleagues and spreading the Fitness Mantra in them so that just a half-an-hour to an hour exercise will gives u a life without regret …a life with the best winning edge..and u will be an Emperor winning every single game in your professional and professional life with an ageless body and timeless mind.
For guiding all my friends out their here I have started my blog where I will suggest u very simple ways how to keep ourselves fit not only our body, but our mind and soul. It’s very simple just give 30 minutes to an hour a day and live forever like an eighteen year old.


Excellent Full-body Workout
There are a number of fascinating trends and pieces of equipment in the fitness world that can help give your body the sculpted look, along with strength, stamina, flexibility and balance.
Here's a workout that combines the traditional with the new cutting edge workouts.
Your mini gym will need:
1- Dumbbells (5 kilos to start with)
2- Stability Ball
3- Resistance Tube
4- Training shoes
5- A mat
The Excellent Cardio Challenge:
Cardio is very important to burn excess fat, build stamina and make your heart and lungs strong. It also improves speed and makes you agile.
To challenge your body, the cardio activity should be as variable as possible, so pick a different exercise everyday. Start at a medium pace for seven minutes to warm up the body before you get into the cardio work. The activity should be performed for 30 minutes at a brisk non-stop pace. Every week, you must increase time by five minutes, till your reach 50-60 minutes.
You do not have to do the cardio before the rest of the workout. Cardio can be done at any time since it has nothing to do with the other exercises. So base it as per your convenience.
1- Power Walk
2- Cycle
3- Swim
4- Aerobics
5- Skipping Rope (do this in sets, since it is not possible to go on for 30 minutes continuously)
6- A sport like football/tennis/badminton


Today its about basic things that you need at your home I have mentioned and as Cardio is the exercise to be given highest importance.
In my next blog will explain about how to warm up your body and later on both traditinal and new-age techniques to have a healthy Body and Powerful Mind.


Thanks,
Aj
