Exercising Without Equipment

by Damien ‘Adrian’ Orozco

Getting fit during the summer doesn’t mean you have to go to the gym.  The best thing about is that it’s a great time to do just about anything outdoors.  You can go to the beach and get a great workout with a few exercises.  In the previous article we had talked about squat and assessing whether or not you are ready to do such an exercise or any exercise for that matter.  One of the first things you can do to get your exercise regimen going is to simply take a light jog to raise your core temperature and prepare your body to go through the motions. Why not take the dog with you while you’re at it?  I’m sure your furry best friend will appreciate it too.  Try to get your heart rate up to at least 100 – 120 beats per minute.  Once you have adequately warmed your body up why not perform an old fashion push-up?  Did you know that push-ups are more than just a chest workout?  When you perform this exercise you are also working your shoulders and triceps.  This exercise actually is one of the best ways to train the core as your abdominals, lower back muscles and your glutes must all fire simultaneously in order to maintain a proper push-up position.  The reason for this is that all abdominal muscles must contract at the same time as your lumbar muscles to work like a brace otherwise you won’t be able to hold the top position.  In order to protect your back you must squeeze your buns together so this is where the gluteus muscles become involved.  Guess what? If you are performing a proper push-up you must also lockout your knees by activating the thighs in an isometric contraction. This means that the quads are also working and at the same time you are strengthening your feet muscles because they have to hold you in place just as your hands do.  You probably didn’t realize all this was happening but now you have the information.  You can also do a traditional crunch outdoors by either using a partner or by supporting your feet on anything stable.  You could actually also lay in front of a bench and raise your legs on top of a park or beach bench.  You may want to use a towel to lay if you are concerned about getting all dirty....Read More!

 


 

Digestive Enzymes and How they Contribute to our Health

 

Many companies which promote supplementation don't really consider the digestibility of their products.  They tell you that whey protien is the fastest digesting protien in the market but what if you have problems digesting protien?  Will that still hold true?  YOR Health adds a complex of digestive enzymes to help ensure that the food you consume is digestible plus also helps your digestive system is actual digestion of such foods.  YOR Health adds both a combination of CARBINOGEN and AMINOGEN which help in the breakdown and digestion of carbs and protiens.  Don't believe me watch the videos provided below and watch it happen right before your very own eyes.  There is a difference between claims and science which backs up what the claims say.  Watch and Enjoy the video below for this amazing demonstration of digestion!
