Technique Tips

Alternating Deltoid Press to the Front

The deltoid is used to push the arm straight forward from the chest. Abdominals must engage as you execute this move to avoid the torso from twisting or rotating. Everything from your hips to your shoulders should be squared to the front as you push front with the arm.

Layout

This movement is performed in standing abdominal routines. Tip your torso forward to a flat back while simultaneously lifting one leg behind. You should be in a flat “layed out” position with your arms over your head and your leg extending. As you tip, the abdominals must contract and pull in to support your body.

Women’s Heart Disease – A Matter of Life and Death

What do you picture when you think of a heart attack? Perhaps it’s the “Hollywood Heart Attack” scenario, whereby someone clutches his chest in pain and collapses to the floor. Whatever your picture, most people tend to see the victim of the heart attack with one common factor – the victim is usually male. But heart disease is actually the #1 killer of American women. MORE

Rev Up Your Workout with Music

Source: NY Times

Research has shown that listening to music during a workout has positive benefits. It not only motivates people so they exercise for longer periods and more vigorously, but also distracts from such things as fatigue. One of the key elements that make music motivating is the song’s tempo, 120 to 140 beats-per-minute. This corresponds roughly to a person’s heart rate during an average workout and is the range of most commercial dance music and rock. The best workout songs have both a high B.P.M. count and a rhythm to which you can coordinate and match your movements.
