SUPER EFFECTIVE WEIGHT LOSS GUIDE AND WORKOUTS

No time to hit the gym? No worries. Check out these 4 killer at-home workouts for every fitness level!


Have you set a resolution to get into the best shape of your life, but can't afford a gym membership, or you simply shy away from a room packed full of treadmills, ellipticals, and free weights? Don't worry—not going to a gym doesn't spell disaster. You can still achieve your goals from the comfort of your own home.
The nice thing about home workouts is that they're high on the convenience factor. Whether you have kids and don't want to hire a sitter, or your schedule is just too hectic and that drive time to and from the gym isn't possible, a home workout solves most dilemmas. Not to mention, it eliminates any excuse for not working out.

GO BIG, STAY HOME

People often believe that home workouts are only for those who are just starting out, but that's not true.
Here are three at-home workouts designed by IFFB figure pro Jessie Hilgenberg and fitness and bikini model Lais DeLeon. They're broken down by experience level, so whether you're green to weightlifting or consider yourself a seasoned vet, you can get great results—no matter how busy your life.
These workouts require no more than a resistance band, a set of dumbbells, and the occasional pull-up bar. Pressed for time? No problem. They can be done in 30 minutes or less. Just remember to stay accountable.
DON'T FALL INTO THE TRAP OF MONOTONY. INSTEAD, FOCUS ON INTRODUCING BANDS, DUMBBELLS, AND BODY-TRAINING SPLITS INTO YOUR WORKOUT.
Because motivation can tend to wane when you're at home and could easily browse the Internet or channel surf, it's important to schedule your home workouts just as you would any other workout session. Make an appointment with yourself—preferably at the same time each day or week to get in the groove and maintain accountability. Once you surpass the three-week hump, you won't even consider skipping your sweat session.
Also remember to add variety to your workout by changing up your exercises or rep schemes. A limited array of equipment might mean you have fewer exercises to choose from, but it doesn't mean you have to do the same workout day in and day out.
Don't fall into the trap of monotony. Instead, focus on introducing bands, dumbbells, and body-training splits into your workout. Try an upper/lower-body plan for a few weeks, then feel free to change to a full-body plan to help shock the muscles and keep them responding. The more variety you can include as you progress, the better.
Be sure to perform a light warm-up before each workout and finish off with some stretching at the end. Don't skip this. What you do today to help increase your flexibly will help improve your performance for tomorrow's workout session!

BEGINNER AT-HOME WORKOUT PROGRAM

During the initial stages of a beginner workout, focus on getting form down pat. Now is not the time to lift very heavy; it's the time to perfect your exercise execution.
"Keep the weight in your heels during the exercises for the leg and back," advises Hilgenberg. "This will help target your glutes and hamstrings during the leg exercises and keep your posture and form correct."
Jessie also recommends that you alternate between having your toes pointed out, in, and straight ahead during calf exercises. This will help to stress the calves from different angles, sparking greater progress.
PLIE DUMBBELL SQUAT
When it comes to training your upper body, form is still essential. "During your biceps curl exercises, keep your upper arms directly by the sides of your torso without squeezing them inward," Jessie says. "This will keep your elbows stable during the exercise."
This program includes three workouts per week, so take at least one day of rest between sessions!

BEST PROTEIN PACKED RECIPES

Bland diet got you down? Instead of looking for new foods to spice up your menu, how about trying a new cooking method? These mini pressure cookers can crank out some tasty meals in record time. The Instant Pot is one of the hottest kitchen gadgets on the market, and it just happens to be perfect for people trying to build lean muscle mass. If you're used to cooking something in a crock pot for hours, get ready to have that same meal ready in 25-30 minutes with this handy little pressure cooker. Since these are pressure cookers, relieve the pressure inside the pot before opening it. There are two ways to do this. You can either use the pressure release valve and instantly release pressure, or you can use the "natural" pressure release method. As soon as the pot switches to the "keep warm" setting, the pressure begins to drop...naturally. The time it takes for the pressure to drop will vary depending on the ingredients and amount of liquid in the pressur...

WOMEN POWERLIFTING GUIDE

Unlike yachting or polo, powerlifting doesn't cost a fortune to undertake. All you need is a bar, some plates, and someone to show you the ropes, and you're good to go. You can train the main lifts (squat, bench, and deadlift) at any commercial gym or even in your garage—no membership to a "box" or powerlifting gym necessary, at least not at first. As you grow more accomplished at powerlifting, and especially if you start thinking about competing, there are a few basic tools you need—and some information about those tools: 1.   Lifting S hoes Every person is different, and so are their shoe needs. Some prefer a lifted shoe, and when they do, they usually prefer a specific heel height. For these athletes, the lifted heal enables them to get in better position, especially if they have limited hip mobility. The heel also allows for increased range of ankle motion and a deeper position with the squat. Other people don't like any lift at all, arguing that inc...

SIX PACK ABS GUIDE

Image
The abs are much more than a symbol for how lean and muscular you are, they are essential for performance and stability. Abs may be made in the kitchen—nutrition is important if you want to see that six-pack—but you still need to train those muscles hard like you would any other group. Abs are a tough muscle group to build because they are already used to doing so much work every day that it takes a lot to overload them. Here are some of the best-kept secrets from old-school bodybuilding legends to build those bricks up to their full potential. Perform this workout with any other muscle group in your split or do your own "abs day." As long as you focus and follow this program at least once every week, your efforts will be rewarded when you roll up that T-shirt.
