Excellent workout programs for ALL levels!
By Brett E. Stewart
I commend this book to ANYONE who wants to get in the best shape of their lives. The book is so fundamentally sound that it puts any other bodyweight workout book to shame. The plan is brilliant: Take a “test” to see how a heap of pushups you may do with proper form and then use that number to find the PERFECT workout to get you to 100! The workouts are very well balanced and don’t feel like a chore to do.
I read the book and took the challenge gravely and was competent to crank out 100 successive pushups just when the book said I should! On my 48th day of the program I was competent to do 101 pushups and was so pleased to nail my goal.
I still follow the program even AFTER completing the “magic number” because pushups are such a great exercise for your core, arms & chest! There are so a great deal of variations that you may learn to keep your workouts interesting & fun.
Challenge yourself & get this book!

No more excuses
By Brandon Wood
I introductory came to know of the author, Steve Speirs, independent of his book, and the firstborn thing that must be said above all else, is that Steve has devoted his life to helping others take delight in the fitness and health that he himself enjoys.

I myself and a swimmer/cyclist/runner/triathlete/singer/website creator/podcast host, and in keeping up with these activenesses on top of living as normal a life as possible, I am rather often hard pressed for the time I need to do smaller, stabilizing workouts. I ought to likewise say that, having more or less of a background in lifting, and thence having rather a bit of muscle mass, in order to make myself a better endurance athlete, I necessitated to abandon weight training and become more lean while still sustaining the strength necessary for the myriad event in which I participate.

When I original begun using “7 Weeks..” I forgot for a while that I was supposed to put down the book and put into exercise the proficiencies within. The book is such an easy and informative read, I felt like I was gleaning just as much cognition merely from reading regarding the vantages and dissimilar methods of “push-up-ology” (my word, I don’t want to put such language on the author!) that I was getting a workout sitting and reading! Of course, that not being the case, I had to try the program for myself.

I begun in one of the “advanced” programs set forth by the book, which was based on how a heap of push-ups I could do prior to beginning the program (I believe I did 50 before crapping out). Without going into the minutiae of my personal traveling (after all you need to read the book to see for yourself), let me say that the most unmanageable portion of obtaining the goal of reaching 100 push-ups in 7 weeks was stopping at the numbers given by the book! It was so fabulously simple to understand and follow that I veritably believe that even numerous who claims to have no upper body strength would be capable to finish the programs (from beginner to advanced) with no problem at all.

I would be remiss if I didn’t mention one of my favored parts of the book; the little snippings of push-up trivia, scattered allround the pages. They give you a sense of not only how long push-ups have been around, but how they have had a positive affect for so long.

I cannot commend this book enough. I think that any person, young or old, male or female would have a great time reading and using the programs in “7 Weeks to 100 Push-ups” and would have a healthier, happier and better toned life for it.

This Book Is Exactly What it Says
By Blaine Moore
This short book is all when it comes to one thing and it makes no illusions when it comes to what that one thing is…so if you have no interest in integrating pushups into your workout plan, then this isn’t the book for you.

If you _are_ looking for an easy and cheap to utilize training plan to build up numerous strength, then the plans contained in this book are great. Suitable for beginners just getting into strength training or for experienced lifters that just want to try something different, this book holds a schedule for you.

I’ve been following one of the schedules for a few weeks now after in regards to a year off from any non-running workouts and I’m already starting to feel the gains of reintegrating strength training into my weekly life.

We all recognise the routines. Chest day is bench press, perchance a good deal of machines and perchance a great deal of free weights. Arms day is a lot of dumbbells and barbells. Legs day is probably squats, possibly galore leg extensions or work on the leg press machines. Same routines, same exercises.

But how regarding working out your chest or your biceps….while you increase your squat. And no, I’m now asking you to do dumbbell curls while you squat. I’m asking you to unlock dozens of muscles allround your body to intensify your workout and increase all of your exercises.

Everyone wants to up their bench press….but when was the last time any person asked you:

“Hey, how much do you single leg, stiff leg deadlift?”

“How a good deal of stability ball sit ups may you do?”

“When you use the Airex pad, how some touchdowns may YOU do?”

“How a heap of chest flyes on the stability ball may you do?”

My guess is never.

Exercises such as chest flyes on the stability ball will primarily decrease your chance of injury, improve your workouts, and yes, even improve your squat. You’re in all likelihood saying chest flyes on the stability ball is distinctly for your chest and it will plainly increase your bench press…but your squat?

Working on a stability ball puts your body in an unstable environment. This will work out dozens of other muscles, meaning you may increase your squat while you do your chest flyes. These muscles you are “unlocking” are in your legs, and you are using them each time you use the stability ball….regardless if you’re doing chest presses or sit ups!

Try it. Do some flyes on the stability ball, and you will see what I mean, When you do this exercise, you will detect that you are now working out your ankle, knee and hip complex as your body tries to stabilize itself. And what muscles are major players in your squat? That’s right, your knees, ankles and hips. By putting your body in an unstable environment, you may work dozens of muscles you didn’t even think with regards to working out.

This will in a literal sense triple your workout…and you’ll in truth be decreasing your weight in a lot of cases. How is that the case? Well, when you put your body in an unstable environment, you need to slow down your reps, and that will strength you to concentrate on your form.

Try doing a cable chest press on one leg, and see how slow you have to go. Since your body is unstable (and now working your legs), you can’t go as fast as you did on two feet. You might undertake to do the same weight and go the same speed, but you will speedily fall over and back on two feet. Eventually you will give in, decrease the weight, and triple the effectiveness of your workout.

All the other hypothetical exercises I cited earlier are all concentered on your core, which is indispensable to your physical development and overall health. Working out your core will drasti decrease your prospect of injury, and in the next issue I will talk about why this is, and simple exercises that will work out your core!
