Amazing Fat Burning Exercise

Today’s video is from WPC/WPO (Powerlifting) Worlds In lake George Ny. Nov 2006. Do you think that he can be capable of lifting 560 kilograms in weight dead?

The keys to running faster aren’t mysterious. To crank up your speed, you need to increase two things: your stride length and your stride frequency. Length is the distance you cover in one stride; frequency is the number of times your feet push off the ground during a given unit of time.

Fortunately, your stride length and frequency aren’t preprogrammed attributes like the color of your eyes or the shape of your nose - there are ways to increase both. But you shouldn’t consciously try to increase your stride length or frequency the next time you go out for a run. That effort could quickly exhaust your muscles and cause injury.

What you can do is train between runs using the running-oriented exercises described here. Performed consistently, these movements will improve your running form, not to mention your strength, flexibility and power. In turn, you will automatically increase your stride length and frequency on the track or road - thus boosting your speed.

You should perform one or two sets of each exercise if you’re a novice runner and three if you’re more advanced, using a weight with which you can do no more than 10 to 12 reps. Lift at least twice a week, resting one to three days between sessions.

The Exercises

Heel raise: This exercise duplicates your ankle-joint movement, improving strength and flexibility for a more powerful push-off and a longer stride.

Position yourself on a calf machine, hanging your heels off the edge of the step. With your legs almost straight, raise your heels above the edge and stand on your toes. Hold that position for one or two seconds, then slowly lower your heels down below the platform until you feel a stretch in your Achilles tendons. Repeat. (If you don’t have access to a machine, hang your heels over the edge of a step, placing your hands against a wall or railing for support.)

Squat: This exercise will strengthen your quadriceps, helping you extend your knee farther and thus allowing a longer stride. Strong quads will also keep you from moving up and down too much, which can reduce stride frequency.

Rest a barbell on your trapezius muscle, or hold dumbbells at your sides. Stand with your feet approximately shoulder-width apart and your toes pointed straight ahead or slightly turned out. Slowly lower your body, keeping your heels on the floor and your back slightly arched, until your thighs are parallel to the floor - at the bottom, your knees should be directly above your toes or just beyond them. Hold for a second or two, then drive back up with your quads.

Lunge: This movement, along with the pawback exercise described on page 96, will target your hip-flexor muscles and your quadriceps, allowing a more powerful push-off and increasing stride length.

Rest a barbell on your trapezius, or hold dumbbells at your sides. Stand with your feet hip-width apart, then step forward with a long stride, keeping your back straight and your head up. Lower your body until the thigh of your leading leg is parallel to the floor, keeping your rear leg almost straight but relaxed. Return to the starting position by pressing downward on your leading leg. Switch legs and repeat.

Forward knee drive: This movement duplicates the way your thigh drives forward. It also strengthens your hip flexors, allowing for greater stride length.

Stand in a cable-crossover station and attach one end of an ankle strap to a low cable and the other to your right ankle. Stand facing away from the cable, far enough from the pulley to create tension on the cable when your leg is behind your body. Your knee should be slightly bent, your foot a few inches off the ground. Stand straight and hold onto a stationary object for balance. Drive your thigh forward while bending your knee, keeping your shin parallel to the floor. Stop just as your right thigh passes the vertical position. Complete the appropriate number of reps, then repeat with your left leg.

This is one of the most classics and important bodies because of its aesthetics. Dorian Yates was born in England but he is American as adoption. He delights us with his spectacular routine poses in Mr. Olympia’s 1993. I have no words left to describe both of his physical body and his exhibition. It’s just SPECTACULAR!

Definitely, Philadelphia’s Campionship 2008 has sawn the most spectacular dance’s routines in several cultures’ history. 

I only wonder if Evamarie had ever witnessed a competition of cultures.

Fitness Training with Tammy

Sometimes is good to change our exercises in order to give our body a different stimulus and surprising. Sometimes circumstances prevent us for

training in a traditional gym.

I remember that some years ago, a group of friends and me went 1 week to a mexican beach named Cancun. The closest gym was quite a distance from our hotel. In the group we were many fans of physical exercises, so we just “invented” a routine maintenance exercise in which our own body weight became resistance.

Ultimately, the combination of swimming, with a large energy expenditure and our routine maintenance provided us a week of satisfaction that we did not think possible without having a personal trainer.

 

Over here I leave you a video that shows you 5 Minute of Tone Body, Abs Workout & Fitness Training with Tammy. Results can be a surprise for you in terms of effectiveness.
