You might be surprised to know that when I transformed my body and got six-pack abs, I didn’t lift weights or doing any type of crunches or sit ups.

Well that’s only partially true - I did lift my body, but that’s it!

I didn’t lift any dumbbells or use any strength training machines you see at the gym?

And I got some amazing results.

Are you surprised?

You see in daily life, we use our body as one full-body segment.

Like sitting down, or reaching for something on a shelf, or turning around, or chasing our kids, or any number of hundreds of movements we go through in a day.

Likewise, your body should be trained that way to best cope through the demands of daily living and athletic competition.

A lot of the equipment at the gym will make you stronger, yes, but it won’t make you functionally stronger.

Too many of the more modern gym machines isolate your muscles, which I do not believe is the best way to train.

You can really condition your body well with some Old School Bodyweight Training.

The same thing goes for crunches and sit-ups.

These are also examples of exercises that are isolating one muscle group, the abs.

You would be better off doing some different bodyweight exercises that train many muscle groups at one time while using your abs as stabilizers.

My most intense workouts and the workouts that got me a really lean, athletic look were my workouts that I used only bodyweight exercises.

These workouts will give you a great beach body that you’ll be proud to show off. : )

The other thing I like about bodyweight exercises, is the amount of variety there is.

Do you remember the 2 video clips I made of 50 different push up variations?

How many strengthening machines can you use 50 different ways?

And then of course is the convenience factor.

You don’t need a gym membership or you don’t need to go out and buy any equipment.

Bodyweight exercises can be done anywhere, anytime.

If you are looking to spice up your training routine and get superior results, you should sprinkle in some Old School Training in your workout routine.

Don’t forget to let me know how it goes! : )

Have an amazing day.

Howdy,

I wanted to show you a great exercise that will really help you on your quest to getting a flat stomach and six-pack abs,

Is it the only exercise you need?

No.

Don’t be silly - you’d get bored by the second day. ; )

But it does fit the criteria of a superb exercise and is one of the best exercises I know for a variety of reasons.

It’s the Extreme Squat Thrust and it’s actually 3 movements combined into one exercise.

Here in this exercise, we’re combining s squat thrust with a push up followed by a jumping lunge.

The reasons I like this exercise so much?

1) Your abs are working the entire time as stabilizers.

2) Your upper body, in particular your chest, triceps and shoulders are getting a strengthening effect with the push ups.

3) Your lower body, including your quads, hamstrings and glutes are getting a nice workout with the jumping lunge (note you can do regular lunges if you can’t do the jumping lunge).

4) Your getting total body conditioning with the squat thrust

5) Your working aerobically as you are getting your heart rate elevated. If you can work through these fast enough, you get get into your anaerobic zone which will help you blast fat all day long.

Not a bad exercise, huh?

Give it a shot and let me know what you think.

Don’t overdo it.

Try it for 30 seconds, rest for 30 seconds for 5 rounds.

I would love to hear your feedback.
