Exercise Tips – Fitness at Home

OK. Been doing this about a month now. Man that is a tough workout and – it works!

My pull ups have increased by 3 – From 5 good strict ones to 8 good strict ones. My shoulders feel like they are on fire and my wife noted they look bigger.

Let me tell you something. Shawna charges a very fair price but she doesn’t stop when you buy her program. She adds more. I’ve got reports on how to increase number of burpees, more on increasing push ups and plenty on working the abs and core muscles.

I once again tell you though, if you do not plan to workout hard – the program is not for you. But you can get good results, probably just takes longer, if you can do even half of her workouts.

You can see I’ve cut the number of postings I do and will try to send out a new post once or twice a month. I’m busy writing books for the Kindle, believe it or not, and have limited time even though I’m retired. I have no idea how people get bored when they retire.

I had started to do this workout but some injuries to my shoulder (not related to this) caused me to put it off. I started again this week and just finished my 2nd workout of the week.

Listen, if you are not ready to do some seriously hard workouts, don’t get this course. I’m in good shape and workout regularly. I can’t get the entire way through workout 1 and 2 so had to cut reps and cut out some of the exercises temporarily. But I still got an outstanding workout!

If you work out hard and get minimal results, then you should try this. You know you are working out in a proven manner.

I’m doing the bodyweight workout portion. You can do the weight training workouts if you want to. I chose bodyweight because I am changing this site and tailoring it more to people who want to workout at home using their bodyweight. Ever see a gymnast’s body?

Anyway, the workout is designed to increase the number of pull ups you can do but after two workouts, it targets your overall body as well. That means your abs too.

More on this training as I continue.

Pull ups are an outstanding exercise and you should be doing them in your exercise routine. If you can’t do any at all, read on. If you can do a couple but want to increase that number, read on.

Many people do not include them for one simple reason. They are hard to do! Ask your friends how many pull ups they can do. Better yet, have them show you. This exercise is so effective as an overall upper body builder that it’s a shame so many ignore it.

I have the Perfect Pullup bar and also a bar in the basement but you can go outside and use a strong branch on a tree. The pull up differs from a chin up in that you have your palms facing away from you. I do both and we’ll discuss chin ups another day.

Now if you are unable to do even one pullup, here’s how you fix that. Have someone boost you up to the bar until your eyes are level with the bar, or stand on a chair or something. You will be doing a negative rep. As you lower your body to the ground, fight it. Take as long as you can to lower yourself.

Rest and try it again. This is also a good way to increase the number you can do now. Do as many as you can in strict movement, then fight the last ones.

Think how impressive it will be if you can get up to 10 reps. People will be in awe.
