The man who Mark Wahlberg recently called “the greatest trainer in the world” shares five exercises that will prime you for any activity   When it comes to fitness Gunnar Peterson knows what he’s talking about. The man Mark Wahlberg recently referred to as “the greatest trainer in the world” has been involved in the fitness industry for nearly three decades, is F45’s chief of athletics and has had the likes of Sylvester Stallone, Tom Brady and Mike Tyson pumping iron at his exclusive Beverly Hills gym. Peterson’s clients train in luxury, at a place where every piece of equipment imaginable is available and the world’s greatest trainer is on hand to show you how to use it. But just because he and his clients have access to all that equipment, that doesn’t mean it’s essential for getting a great workout in. “My gym is Hamleys,” says Peterson “It’s packed with anything and everything that you need … but I could do a whole workout with two cinderblocks and a broomstick, and I think any trainer worth their salt could as well.” Peterson stresses that to get a great workout in you don’t need a lot, and in fact, just […]

Greatest Myths Regarding Workout

by kevin in Workouts 0 comments
It shouldn’t be a surprise that the fitness industry, considering its popularity in the recent decade, should have plenty of rumors and myths just floating around, ready to be put into social media or word-of-mouth where people can be deceived into believing it and following them, thus ruining their workout regimen or even their overall fitness. With that in mind, here we are, presenting you with some of the most common myths that you should not buy into: 1. More Sweating Equals Better Workout: While a layman would buy into this theory, probably imagining that working harder results in more sweat and the same analogy applies to your workout too, anyone with even the basic scientific education would tell you otherwise. Sweating is actually a response when your body’s temperature is getting higher so that it cools down. Sometimes, when your body’s temperature is already cool no matter how heavy, the barbells or dumbbells were, it’s still a great workout. 2. No Pain, No Gain: Once again, this is what fitness enthusiasts would consider wrong. Sure, having a strenuous workout will be much better, but even if you consider doing something which doesn’t cause that much pain. You can still […]

A Few Simple Workouts for Firmer Breasts

No doubt women’s breasts are one of the things that makes a woman look more attractive. This is why women have been trying to find a way to emphasize the look of their breasts since ancient times. Modern bras certainly allow women who have small breasts to make their breasts look more attractive and “fool” those around them when it comes to the size of their breasts. However, only a small number of women are aware that with the right workout focused on strengthening certain muscles and muscle groups, their breasts can look firmer and larger even without the help of bras. With the help of this type of training, you will also strengthen the muscles located in the shoulders and back which will eventually correct your posture and make your breasts more visible and attractive. This workout program should be performed three times a week. It is crucial to complete one set that will include all exercises without taking a break between each exercise. After that, take a break of about 30-60 seconds and do another set. You should complete four sets in one training session. All you need for these workouts is weights, Swiss ball and medicine ball.

This is a Quick Training Tip, the best chance to learn how to work in a smarter way so that you get the maximum gains in the least possible time. If you only do straight sets in your gym then you will get average results. The drill to follow: Do one set of an exercise, after which rest, and repeat. This is the best formula for anyone who wants some good amount of gains that is going to be noticeable. Straight sets are more or less effective because the target is only on a single kind of muscle fiber. This is the place where drop sets come in. Also commonly called as the descending sets, strip sets, or simply as “running the rack,” The drop sets is a technique in which one performs multiple sets of a particular exercise using successively lighter loads and at the same time bare minimal to no rest. In doing so, one not only fatigues both types of muscle fibers that are present in our body but also helps to increase the training volume as well as the target muscle’s time under tension and metabolic stress. All of these factors can crank up muscle growth. […]

5 Life-Saving Tips for Cold-Weather Training

by admin in Workouts 0 comments
Keep your body in tip-top shape when training outdoors during the winter. Cold-weather training is common among hockey players, skiers, snow boarders, and winter-sport endurance athletes. Battling the elements during training or competition can wreak havoc on your body and reduce your ability to perform at your highest level if the proper precautions are not taken. Preventing cold weather injuries and training effects should be of primary importance, especially as the temperature drops below freezing. Tolerance to cold-weather training is much more difficult for the body, compared to hot-weather training. Heat is lost more readily via convective heat transfer from the skin, and the body has more difficulty maintaining its internal temperature in these conditions. Fitter athletes have an easier time maintaining a given exercise intensity and higher rates of metabolic heat production in colder weather than their unfit counterparts; but if heat loss exceeds heat production, the overall body heat content decreases, and peripheral and core body temperatures start to decline. If the body’s internal temperature drops below 35°C (95°F), hypothermia can develop, which can result in shivering, confusion, fatigue, and slurred speech. Reductions in internal body temperature can result in abnormal cardiac rhythms and eventually death. Freezing injuries, […]

If firming up your midsection is on your to-do list, you’re not alone. Getting rid of stubborn belly fat is one of the most common goals for people looking to lose weight and get fit. And while targeted fat loss or spot reduction does not work, you can tighten and tone this area — along with the rest of your body — by exercising and following a healthy diet. Belly fat is hard to eliminate Reducing belly fat is often more challenging than dropping inches from other parts of the body because doing so relies heavily on diet, says Caley Crawford, NASM CPT, and Director of Education for Row House. “We often think if we do enough sit-ups, then we’ll get a flatter stomach; however, abs also happen in the kitchen,” says Crawford. “So, if you’re looking to lose belly fat, it’s crucial that you partner a strong and healthy diet with your exercise routine,” she says. You’ll also need to consider your age and genes. According to the Mayo Clinic, they can play a small role in where you store fat. That’s why adhering to a healthy, balanced diet (with little or no processed carbohydrates) along with your exercise […]
