There is only one way to say what I have to say, “You Have To See This!”

This video shows such extreme feats of strength, its amazing.

This is a video from Barmasters Xtreme, a company that trains people on nothing but their body weight and a pull up bar.

Setting fitness goals is one thing, but having the ability to do the human flag and horizontal pull ups is in a league of its own.

If you have fitness goals I think you should check this out. Now I know you might not be able to a single pull up or push up, but all it takes is effort. If you apply yourself and really stick to your guns, you can do achieve the feats of strength shown in this video.

So check this out and please leave a comment/question below.

Thanks a lot and be safe.

When most people think of resolutions they think of working out and or exercising which is what I am going to talking about today.

I want to give the the top three things I do to keep in shape. Now, I am not the best at this, but it has sure helped accomplish some exercise rather than none.

So here we go…

1.) Stretch – I usually stretch about 10 minutes every day. I am not sure where I read this, but stretching 20 minutes a day for a year can add up to five pounds of muscle to your frame. Not bad for doing nothing but a little stretch in the morning. Not to mention how stretching helps deter bodily injury and pulled muscles. Stretching is a win/win situation.

2.) Drink a Gallon Of Water EVERY DAY! – I “try” to drink a gallon of water EVERY day and nothing else. I mean I don’t drink pop or juice or anything along those lines. Once again, not sure where I read this, but cutting all sugary drinks from your diet will also allow you to lose up to 5 pounds of fat in one year. Now when you drink that much water you will be able to see some drastic changes. Not only will you be using the bathroom a lot more, you will have more energy, your skin will clear up, and you will just feel generally better throughout the day.

3.) Eat 2 Servings Of Fruit and Vegetables Every Day – Now I know you hear this one a lot too but it is something I think you should do. I do my best to eat some fruit and vegetables every day. Even if I cant eat two servings, I try to get something in my system. I was on this kick where I was eating an apple every morning but I stopped because I got lazy and quit. I am not back on that kick and I must say I feel so much better after eating an apple every day. And just to let you know, although fresh veggies and fruit are the best, to save time and money go with frozen stuff. I buy the little bags of frozen vegetables and they seem to be working just fine.

So there you have it. I bet you thought I was going to have you running around the block and doing push-ups and all that crap didn’t you? Well not me. I must admit that exercising is VERY important but it is not EASY. That is why I gave a list of “3 Easy Ways To Stay Fit”.

So go on my children and be fit. If you have any questions about what I published today, send us an e-mail. Be safe, and never give up!

Now you don’t have to take care of yourself if you don’t want to, but when you do that you are basically saying you don’t care if you live long or not.

Now I know there are people out there that have been smoking all their lives and eat like crap and never work out and end up living to be a hundred years old, but those people are few and far between and if you want want to take that chance you go right ahead and try.

For those of us that are serious about our health, I have a few tips and tricks you can use to start setting some proper fitness goals.

The one thing I want to confess is that I have not worked out consistently for over three months. But you see, that is the reason I am making this post. I think that it is imperative to work out EVERY day.

So because of my laziness, I have recently started my running regiment again which brings me to my first fitness tip.

Tip #1: Set Proper Expectations

-If you are a hundred pounds over weight and think you can lose it all within a couple of months, you are crazy. There are certain surgeries and medical procedures out there that can eliminate your weight pretty fast, but I think they are garbage.

If you really want to lose weight you have to do it the right way; the healthy way. One thing I recommend to you is to set a goal that causes you to stretch but is not impossible.

For example, if you are 100 pounds over weight then you might want to spread the loss of that weight over 10 or 12 months. This way you are loosing it in a healthy manner.

Never set you goals to high or hard at first. When you do that, you get frustrated and things go wrong. Keep it simple and stick with it.

Tip #2: Turn Your Big Goal Into A Small Goal

So with using the above example of loosing 100 pounds in ten months, lets break it down. My advice would be to break the 100 pounds into a monthly, daily, and hourly goal.

The reason for this is so you know exactly what you have to do down to the hour.

So here is what it would look like.

100 pounds in ten months

-10 pounds a month

-0.33 pounds a day

-0.013 pounds an hour

I know when you break it down that much it seems a little over kill but you need to do it. If you feel it’s to much then you can just break it down by the day.

Tip #3: Stay Disciplined

Since I have started running again, I have been running in some pretty crazy stuff. Rain, cold, wind, you name it. No snow yet but it’s coming.

There has been days when I really didn’t feel like running at all. I actually hated every minute of it the first time I went back out. My back hurt, my legs hurt and my entire body ached for several days. Those couple days really reminded me of why people never follow through with work out goals.

So if you are going to go out and start a workout routine, do the listed steps above. You will feel better and you will have a hell of a lot better chance of completing your goal.

So stick with it and remember, STAY FOCUSED!
