Michelle Obama-My Idol

Hi Friends,

Have you seen Michelle Obama in the recent Ellen Degeneres Show. She does not only look regal but she is a great role model for both guys and girls who want to incorporate exercise into their busy schedule. I was really impressed by her almost perfect push ups and she did 25 push-ups at a go. Fantastic! In a nation where "Pizza" is classified as one vegetable serving (recent Jamie Oliver show) and about more Americans becoming "obese" and not able to qualify to serve in the US Army, Michelle Obama is trying to change this trend. Michelle Obama is trying get a nation to change their eating habit as well as to get them to exercise.

Unlike some of the past First Ladies, Michelle Obama exudes class, looks beautiful and has in my opinion tried to do more for the American public instead of just tailing the husbands. I salute her. And I hope more people would adopt her attitude in helping society as a whole instead of killing each other in the name of God. This world will be more healthier, loving and happier place to live in.

So, exercise away people. If the First Lady can lead by example, what is your excuse. Get off your bum and do some exercise and reach that ideal weight you have always wanted. You will be able to fit into that jeans or dress you wore five years ago. I know you can do it.

Love All, Serve All!

Cheers,

Circuit Training for Better Results

Hi Friends,

Besides Running and Weight Training, to acheive better results try doing Circuit Training on other days for about 1/2 hour. Circuit Training adds different intensity to your training and hence will improve your ability to run, swim and any other activity. If your objective is to get that 6-Pack abs then at least work on circuit training  2X to 3X a week. And watch your diet for faster results.

Circuit Training
Circuit Training is a great way to build your strength and stamina. Do about 3 sets of 15 to 20 repetitions with no rest between your different exercises. Have a 3 minutes rest between sets.
 Set A
1) Push-Ups
2) Split Jumps
3) Shoulder Press
4) Mountain Climber
5) Plank (for 30 seconds)

Set B
1) Squats (use 2 Light Dumb bells)
2) Dumb Bell Row
3) Squat Thrust
4) Jumping Jack
5) Side Planks (Both Sides for 30 secs)

Set A & B are to be done on different days. You can end the sessions with a crunches and leg raise and a light stretches to cool down.

Do the work outs within your limit and slowly increase the intensity. Proper form is important to avoid injuries.

Good Luck!

Cheers,
Mark
