I’m not sure if you’re one of them or not, but it’s worth taking a look.

Bodyweight exercises are safer than using massive weights, but even doing a simple pushup exercise incorrectly can lead to some unnecessary aches and pains.

(For some this means just splitting their pants, but others it could mean knee, ankle and other problems!)

Here are three of the biggest mistakes people make when they do their squats as well as 2 squat myths busted.

Fitness for people who don’t like exercise?

I have to tell you, I wish I had a dollar for every person who told me they didn’t like to exercise. :-)

I’ll tell you what, we’re meant to move. It’s really our birthright.

We’re also meant to enjoy it…

See why…

For good reason though! Many of you suffer from tense upper shoulder and lower back muscles. Many more have stiff necks.

Here’s a way you can release trigger points using something you probably have in your basement or garage!

I spoke about continuing education the yesterday and I stand by it. There’s so much power in learning from others.

I told a few of the guys I was hanging out with that I wanted to do a show with their top fitness tips, and they–on the spot–gave me some of their best stuff.

I think you’ll like what they came up with… I also think you’ll like Scott Tousignant’s creative emergency sprinkler workout as well…

Take a watch “Fri-guys”…

But it fits into the category of muscle tension release… which in turn helps with your workouts.

So this little reflexology demonstration for releasing neck and shoulder tension is something that I think you’ll get great value from.

I’m not the type of person who likes to sit around either, so you can imagine how I felt when we got to the inn we’re staying at!

This resistance stretching technique that we’re going to show you in this episode, might be the best way to create rubberband-like muscles for those who travel… or those who don’t.

Go ahead and check it out (plus you’ll see where we’re staying in Ft. Bragg!)…

In fact after I read about it, one of Annmarie’s clients and RHTV viewer (Hey Linda!) sent Ann an email about it. I think Linda was hoping that we’d be able to prescribe it so Annmarie wouldn’t have to beat her up with exercise all the time… ;-)

In a nutshell, Aicar is a drug that stimulates muscles to fatigue without you actually having to do anything. That’s right, no working out, no running, no cardio, no nothin’. Quite possibly one of the scariest things I’ve seen in a while.

GW1516 is another that requires exercise but has shown massive endurance increase (over 70%).

But here’s the deal… this has only been shown to work for mice. So for at least the next 2-3 years, we’re going to have to rely on good old workouts like this lower abs 6-pack workout that we’re gonna show you now…

Take a look…
