Most Effective Exercises

During your exercise routine, you may find yourself wasting time and sitting around on occasion. At other times, you're focused and working nonstop. Whatever kind of day you're having at the gym, it's important that the exercises you perform do their job well. Otherwise, you could spend countless hours without ever getting the full benefit you seek.

To help your routines always leave you with results, be sure to include some of the most effective exercises ever created. Without further ado, please welcome the best exercises your body will ever perform.

# 5: Cross-Country Skiing

Pushing your entire body to its limits, cross-country skiing develops the muscles in nearly every region of your person, while challenging your will to either grow stronger or die. As useful as cross-country skiing is, there is a downside: it is only possible in certain areas of the world and can't be replicated well in the gym. Because of this, cross-country skiing will never be top on the list.

Giving Back Has Never Been So Healthy!

Giving Back Has Never Been So Healthy!

Did you know that when you workout with Theo, at Ripped & Sexy Bootcamp, that 10% of your

monthly fitness investment is going back to the local community of Morristown?

So far Ripped & Sexy Bootcamp has donated over $275 back in to the community of Morristown

      $148.50 to Morris County Parks Commission (The Park Alliance)

      Purpose: Donation Towards Wellness Programs

      Date: Apr 18, 2011

      $128.70 to The Salvation Army (Morristown)

      Purpose: Donation Towards Wellness Programs

      Date: May 20, 2011

As a Ripped & Sexy Bootcamp participant, you get to decide where the money goes.

Heres how it works:

Every month, Theo sends out an email to all clients to select a local charity of their choosing.

The only requirement is that the charity must have a local chapter in the town of Morristown.

Then during one of the bootcamp sessions, Theo sets aside a time where all of the charities are

placed in to a hat and shuffled, then a client gets to select one charity at random out of the hat.

Before the bootcamp session ends that month, Theo writes a check to the local charity for 10%

of all that sessions monthly revenues.

Are you looking to be healthy, active and give back to the community at the same time?

When you know that you are having fun, working-out, transforming your body, becoming healthier from the inside out,

and that a portion of every workout is going back into the community it gives you a sense of happiness and fulfillment that you just cant get at a gym.

If you are interested in getting healthy and giving back at the same time you can contact me directly at Theo.Tilton@gmail.com

Loose pounds fast, in as little as 4 minutes! Huh?

Sounds too good to be true I know, try it yourself … You be the proof you need

Studies have confirmed that the powerful “after-effect” of interval training is more effective for fat loss than low-intensity, continuous exercise.

Its called TABATAS

Remember, you must put forth your BEST effort, the intensity of this 4 minute fat loss workout will shock you!

Please! a 4 minute fat loss workout sounds like a gimmick but trust me I know, but do some research for yourself and see.

“…after 6 weeks of testing, the inventor of this 4 minute fat loss workout, named, Dr. Tabata noted a 28% increase in anaerobic capacity along with a 14% increase in V02Max in advanced level athletes. Dr. Tabata’s test was extremely effective because it  yielded positive responses on individuals who were already in shape.”

TABATAS training

NOTE: With interval training, you get what you put into it. Half-hearted efforts will not yield the results you crave.

So give it all you got when performing a 4 minute fat loss workout and don’t do them every day.

This 4 minute fat loss workout is setup like this:

Always begin with a 5 minute warm up and cool down after the workout.
8 rounds of
:20 seconds active
:10 second rest

In the beginning you may want to do a more evenly distributed work to rest interval like 15 sec active and 15 sec rest.

You can use any exercise with this 4 minute fat loss workout. Movements like squats, burpees, mountain climbers, push-ups. Try using compound multi-joint movements to incorporate as many muscle groups as possible for fat loss and muscle building.

Use a timer, if you have an iPhone or Droid, I suggest downloading the Tabata Timer. You can also pick up a Tabata for less than $20 by visiting the link at Amazon. The gymboss timer omits an audible beep signaling you when to stop and start.

If you don’t have one it’s best to get someone to let you know when to go and stop or worst case use a clock.

I wouldn’t perform these 4 minute fat loss workouts every day. Because you need to give your all to the Tabata workout, I suggest 2 to 3 days a week. Try to add a wide variety of exercises to your 4 minute fat loss workout. By adding various exercises, you can increase muscular endurance in the whole body.

Leave me a comment below to let me know how you’re doing with your 4 minute fat loss workout, or for any questions.

If you really want to experience what Tabata’s can do for you come join me at Rippd&SexyBootcampVN:F [1.9.8_1114], where we utilize all the concepts of Tabatas in our workouts.

Thank you,

Theo Tilton
