Wedding Season Week 7:

“If you think you can or think you can’t; you’re right!!”

Tip: Be sure to drink plenty of water throughout the day and during your workout. Try to avoid sugary sports drinks or high sugar/carbohydrate fruit drinks. These drinks are only necessary when you are working out for extended amounts of time and your electrolytes are depleted, otherwise water is the only necessary fluid to put into your body. Try to intake 80 to 100 ounces a day if you exercise at a moderate to high intensity level.

Week 7 Wedding Fitness Plan (Core Stability Blvd):

Core stability is absolutely huge. I can’t emphasize this enough. Every thing begins and ends with a strong and stable core.  I have covered the basics about the core in a previous article so I am not going to go into much detail, but the core consists of your entire front and back sides; not just your abdominal muscles.

Below are my favorite core stability exercises and I recommend performing two or three sets of 20 to 30 repetitions or hold each position for at least 30 seconds if required. Remember to get your cardio (30-60 minutes) in as well. Have fun!

10 Week Wedding Fitness Plan: Week 7

Out of all the posts and blogs that I have done, I don’t ever remember discussing my actual workout routine. I used to do cardio before my weight training, but have recently switched the two and have had a great deal of success. This allows me to have more energy and stamina during my weight training portion.

I typically workout five to six days a week for about an hour to an hour and a half at a time. Each day I break down certain muscle groups basically in a push-pull form followed by three to five miles of jogging. This helps me work every large muscle group at least twice a week and has worked for me for several years now.

I do approximately four to five lifts per body part each day followed by several sets of abdominal exercises before my cardio. I also use a super-set form of lifting style as well. This helps keep the heart rate up while increasing stamina and I can get more done in less time as well. Below are what my days usually consist of:

Monday/Thursday: Chest/Back/Abs

Tuesday/Friday: Biceps/Triceps/Abs

Wednesday/Saturday: Legs/Shoulders/Forearms

And again each day of lifting is followed by three to five miles of jogging. This works for me, but like I have said before that every “body” is different and that you need to find what works for you. Good luck and results will come to those that sacrifice the time and effort!

Mathue Johnson’s Cardio and Weight Training Workout

As you all know, I am a personal trainer and I have trained a young lady for a couple years now. When we started, she had set a goal to lose a certain amount of weight (more than 100 pounds) and her reward for doing so would be to go skydiving. Well, we hit the goal and we hit the air. Good overall experience!! My point is to set a goal and go for it, don’t give up or lose motivation until you hit that certain goal. Hard work does pay off, just ask my client.

I have put together a list of exercises that isolate certain muscle groups that are engaged (legs, shoulder, back, abdominal) during the process of skydiving. So, if you ever get the wild hair to skydive, make sure you try this workout for a couple weeks before you go. I recommend performing two sets of 20 repetitions. Good Luck!!

The Pre-Skydiving Workout

Twisting and turning the spine is a very sensitive subject, so be very careful while performing these movements. Try not to use too much weight or over rotate because this compromises the spine and could lead to future problems.

Below are a few of the top obliques exercises, and I recommend performing two or three sets of 20 to 30 repetitions.

Good Luck!

Don’t Overlook Obliques to Reduce Love Handles

Muscle tissue and fat tissue are two different types of tissue and you need to burn the fat tissue before you can see that six pack. Doing crunches alone will never get the results that you are looking for. You would have to perform millions of crunches to get the results that proper diet and cardio can achieve.

I have put together a few exercise tips that may help you achieve your desired goal:

1. Watch your carbohydrate and fat intake

2. Eat a high protein, low-fat and low-carb diet

3. Do thirty minutes to an hour of cardio each day for at least five days a week

4. Do the following ab workout as well (two sets of 20 to 30 repetitions each):

Top 8 Oblique Exercises

Rather than spend oodles of your precious gym minutes working on your core, here is one yoga move that will strengthen your abs and give your arms and legs a workout, too!

Navasana, or Boat Pose, is a grounding seated posture that not only carries all of the mind-stilling benefits of any yoga posture but it also results in a strong and lean inner core.  Don’t forget to keep your breath deep and rhythmic as you do navasana posture – the deep yoga ujjayi breathing also tones the inner muscles of your core.

Here’s how to do it.
