Chest Exercises - Weighted Dips At Home Workout
More ON This: buildingbodies.ca Calgary personal trainer Ray Burton shows you that a dipping/chinning belt is a great piece of equipment to add to the "must have" list if you are setting up your own home gym or personal training studio. In my case, the Harbinger PolyPro Dip Chin Belt is what I am using in my personal training studio and it's been holding up really well. Besides the basic chinup and dipping with weight options I now have, I can also do a host of other new exercises like donkey calf raises and sumo squats on blocks. buildingbodies.ca

Question by Greg C: Design me a core/cardio workout?
I'm a 32-year old male and I'm in poor shape. A lot of flab on a thin frame, and no muscle to be found anywhere. I've started losing a little weight through cardio and a better diet, but what I really want to do is strengthen my core. I had a few sessions with a trainer, who introduced me to a lot of great exercises, but when he realized that I wasn't going to stick with him as a client, he really crapped out on designing me a good core workout (which is what I'd asked him to do in the first place).
What I am looking for is this: A fixed weekly workout consisting of core exercises... that takes into account my cardio training. As in, Monday I do exercises a, b and c, and then run 2 miles. Tuesday, do d, e, f, g and h, and no cardio... Wednesday take off... Or whatever. You see what I'm getting at.
Assisted pull/chin/dips, planks, crunches, vertical knee-raise, step exercises, lunges, medicine ball squat presses, and some others I can't remember.
I have access to a gym but I have no gym equipment at home. The cardio exercises I feel are useful to me are the treadmill and stairmaster.
I'm interested in losing the pot-belly, not getting six-pack abs.
I'm interested in having healthy joints and muscles into my middle age, not becoming Batman.
I know it's a tall order, but I figure there might be one of you who loves to talk fitness so much that he/she will give me a "Monday do this, Tuesday do this..." type of schedule. Any takers?
Best answer:
Ab training is something that you should do 4 to 5 days per week for substantial results. If you combine these workouts with high intensity cardio...you will be able to burn a lot of fat around your mid-section.
Concentrate On Form
Make sure that you are doing your killer abs workout in the correct form. You could do them incorrectly and get less than half the benefit of doing the exercises right. It just simply would make sense! Take your time and master each ab exercise. It's much better to do 5 crunches correctly than to do 20 incorrectly.
Watch What You Are Putting In Your Body
Make sure that you follow a sensible eating plan. That means cutting back on sugars and starches. This will help you greatly, because they will cause fat to accumulate around your stomach and can also effect your energy levels while doing the killer abs workout...and we don't want to do that.
Killer Ab Workout Routine
Monday....................Straight Leg Crunch / Leg Lift Crunch
Tuesday....................Lower Ab Crunch / Ab Twist
Wednesday....................Scissor Crunch / Lower Ab Bench Crunch
Thursday....................Off
Friday....................Ab Ball Twist / Ball Crunch Twist
Saturday....................Off
Sunday....................Basic Ball Crunch / Oblique Exercise
This schedule should greatly benefit you! Just make sure that you are getting your proper rest on your rest days. So...your body can recuperate.
