How to Do Super Skaters to Work your Legs

Aaron Potts — Sun, 23 Oct 2011 16:51:07 +0000

Super Skaters are one of many awesome leg exercises in the P90X Extreme Home Training Program, and like all exercises, if you do them properly you can see some great results!

Super Skaters are so effective because they build up your strength and your balance all at the same time, and since you are using the large leg muscles, you burn more calories than with exercises that use smaller muscle groups.

Are you Tough Enough to do 1 Lat Push Ups?

Aaron Potts — Wed, 21 Sep 2011 02:00:41 +0000

This is a very unique exercise called a 1 Lat Push Up that can be added to any at home workout program in order to get better at push ups. Many people struggle with push ups, including our U.S. military members who have to be able to do push ups in order to pass the military PT test. This simple movement will help to improve your push ups, so add it into your present fitness program.

Also, remember that the idea behind getting RESULTS is to keep your body guessing about what it is that you are up to. If you always do the same things in the same ways, then you will hit a plateau. Movements like 1 Lat Push Ups are a great way to change things up and keep the results coming!

The 1 Lat Push Up is one of the featured home exercises in the extreme fitness program Insanity: The Asylum!свети георги

The common theme that you saw in these videos was to modify the movements as needed for whatever YOUR level of fitness is. It’s not about being perfect at push ups or pull ups from the beginning. It’s about doing the best that YOU can do, and that is where the results come from!

The P90X Chest, Triceps, and Shoulders workout is SUCH an awesome routine for sculpting the Triceps muscles at the back of the arm. This video shows you how to PROPERLY do Tricep Extensions in order to maximize the benefit, and get the arms that you want!

Don’t forget – when you are doing your weighted exercises, you need to stick to the 8-10 or 12-15 repetition range. If you want bigger muscles, stay in the 8-10 range, while the 12-15 range will give you leaner muscles with more endurance. Either way, though, the last 2 or 3 repetitions should be VERY challenging.
