MEN:

In this episode of Boot Camp FX television you're going to see some great exercises to build your arms, shoulders, chest, back and abs.

Exercise Description and Sample Workout Below:

The first exercise sequence you'll see is the front lever pull up super set.

Extend your legs and hips straight up and out as high as possible and pull yourself up toward the bar.

Repeat until you reach momentary muscle failure. Immediately begin pull ups with a knee lift after the front lever pulls. Go to momentary muscle failure.

The next exercise in this super set is the static "L" pull up. Pull yourself up as high as possible while keeping your body in the "L" shape.

The final exercise in the front lever super set is the static pull up with knee lift. Stay as high as possible in the up position and pull your knees up and toward your chest. Repeat to momentary muscle failure.

This will be an advanced circuit for many people. Do your best and strive to improve in some way, everyday.

The next exercise is the static pike.

Lift yourself off the ground or floor by pressing your shoulders toward the ground and keeping your head and chest high. Hold to momentary muscle failure.

The final exercise is the Hindu push up (and 1/2).

Begin by elevating your legs and performing a Hindu push up with your hips high and "swoop" your chest down toward the ground.

What makes this exercise different than the original Hindu is that instead of pushing up and out to the starting position after the descent, instead you reverse the motion body and drive using your chest and shoulders.

Sample Workout:

Exercise #1 - Perform the "Hindu and 1/2" to momentary muscle failure then without resting begin exercise #2.

Exercise #2 - Perform the "Static Pike" to momentary muscle failure then without resting begin exercise #3).

Exercise #3 - Perform the "Front Lever Super Set" then without resting begin exercise #4.

Exercise #4 - Sprint 400 Meters.

Repeat this circuit as many times as possible. Time limit is 15 minutes.

The 2009 Columbus Marathon has inspired innovation with a Twitter application called "Tweet my Time". For the first time in a running event, a runner's event progress can be set to be automatically tweeted out at various splits along the course of the 2009 Columbus Marathon in Detroit.

You can follow a friend or family members progress along the course online HERE.



The application called "Tweet My Time" was developed specifically for the Columbus 1/2 Marathon.

"This is the first time that participants will be able to automatically tweet out their times to their followers without taking their mind off their race," said Scott Weaver, Columbus Marathon Race Director. "We're a long-standing racing tradition, and as a result, we're always looking for ways to offer participants more value and excitement".

The program works through synchronizing with a microship timing device that each registered athlete will wear on Race Day to record his or her time. Many races have an automatic text mechanism that sends text updates to people who register for them, but those come at a price - either to the participant or to the event. Tweet My Time is a free application.

Tweet My Time will automatically post an update to participants' Twitter status at five different checkpoints along the full marathon course - the start, 10K, half marathon, 20K and finish. Additionally, the updates will include the athlete's progress and estimated finish time; participants also have the option to post selective Twitter updates to FaceBook.

The 2009 Columbus Marathon will be held on Oct. 18 and will feature nearly 15,000 total participants in the full, the half marathon and the 5K Corporate Wellness events. The Nationwide Better Health Columbus Marathon, a member of Running USA, is one of the 25 largest marathons in the United States.

If you are thinking about starting a fitness training program but don't want to spend money and take up space in your house with a big equipment purchase, you can easily find ways to get in a workout in and around your home or in the great outdoors. By finding items that you already own or by venturing outside, you can get "green" when you're exercising too.

Any personal trainer will tell you that you don't need a bunch of fancy equipment in order to do some fitness training and get in shape. First of all, take a look around your house - you can use canned food as weights, towels as exercise mats, a stack of books as a stair, some spare rope as a jumping rope and even a chair can help you exercise at home.  

Why not take your items outside? It's much easier to jump rope (an excellent cardio workout) when you have lots of space. For any of your fitness training, being outside is better and will make you feel better - fresh air and plenty of it will increase the workout you're getting.

When you're outside, you can take your fitness training to a whole new level. Go for a brisk walk (or even a slow one) or a run and increase your workout all the more. Even if running isn't your thing, you can still walk or hike around your local area on trails or just the side walk. Take your bike to work instead of your car or just head out on a leisurely bike ride.

It's always best to team up with someone, even a personal trainer, to stick with your fitness training plan. It helps keep you accountable for your goals and your daily routines. Another green and great idea for your fitness training is to join a team for your favorite sport, such as volley ball, tennis, soccer, basket ball or any sport that you enjoy doing.

If you really want to get serious with your fitness training plan, you might eventually need some equipment. However, that doesn't mean that you need to break the bank and buy all new equipment. Check out the Internet for used equipment or local sporting goods stores for second hand goods - many cities and towns have a "bargain finder" newspaper or portion of the daily newspaper where people can sell or give away items. However, you can make do with water jugs, a chair and a stepping stool. Your fitness plan doesn't have to include a bunch of expensive equipment.

Going "green" with your fitness training doesn't have to reduce your routine or limit your work out. A fitness trainer can help you figure out ways to increase your personal training without any equipment at all. A walk around the block, a mile long run, a hike on a favorite trail, or a bike ride through town can be just as good a work out as an hour in the gym. Do what you like to do, have some fun, and enjoy your green workout. If that doesn't workout check out our personal trainer directory.

It's time for all of the fitness entrepreneurs to get their latest and greatest ideas out to the public. From the totally tame to the hilariously zany, we still fall into the trap of trying the newest thing on the market. Have you tried the Wii Fit?

Those who have one of the Wii consoles swear that it is the greatest thing since sliced bread. It is what we have all been waiting for - a true virtual reality for the entire family. As we move, so do the characters on the television. Parents and children alike are bowling, racing, playing guitar, and other games using the Wii controllers and a lot of body movement.

Well, the company went one step further and designed a Wii fitness program. Since everyone was up and moving, they decided to capitalize on it. The Wii Fit is another attachment for the Wii console that looks like a flat board. Using this board, Wii owners can perform a variety of exercises and get in shape.

Let's first examine the cost. With any exercise program, there is always a cost and if the cost seems unreasonable you'll lose people right there. The Wii Fit board costs a whopping $90 but people are willing to pay for the chance to see if it is as much fun as the other Wii games they've tried.

Good news for new exercisers: The Wii Fit board can hold up to 330 pounds. That's not saying that you weigh 330 pounds, but if you are a bigger person, you can use the Wii Fit board. Many new gadgets don't allow for weights in all ranges and that is a problem for people. If we were already slim we wouldn't need to worry about it.

The Wii Fit uses several exercises to get people in shape. One of the exercises is the Wii Fit Ski Jump. You know how the people jump on the Olympic ski runs? That is what you are doing. The board is sensitive enough to pick up your movements and track your fitness workout. With the ski jump, you are squatting in position for the jump and standing to jump.

The Wii Fit board teaches balance and that works the abs and strengthens the other core muscles. Wii Fit is not a total workout program. It does offer a workout but you will need more cardiovascular work than what is provided with the Wii. It functions as a supplement to an exercise program but not as the whole thing. How long will it last? Who knows but as long as people are playing the other Wii games, they are getting at least some activity in each day, which is never a bad thing.

In this short video Jorge Cruise and Andrew Weil talk about the "calorie myth".
