All The Colours of Your Abs – Vancouver Fitness Tips

Virgil — Tue, 12 Jan 2010 17:31:13 +0000

ALL THE COLOURS OF YOUR ABS

Your abdominal region is a fairly complex muscle group. As of such, your training routines for them should be just as complex. There are 4 different groups that make up the entire abdominal region, and targeting all of them will bring about the best definition in your core.

The rectus abdominus is the top layer. It is the group we all know very well by sight because it gives us that washboard look (ideally). However, underneath that is something not everyone is so familiar with: our transverse abdominus. It is a sheath like layer that holds everything in place, drawing your rectus abdominus towards your spine, and helping you “suck it in”. Running along the sides of your torso are your internal and external obliques, and they allow you to twist, rotate, and bend side to side.

When training your abs be sure to target all of the individual groups, and in order to save time in the gym, do them simultaneously using compound movements (ex. Sit-up & Twist, and the Jack Knife). Treat your abs like any other muscle group when training them. 15-20 reps is ideal for abdominal routines, as well as is training them 2-3 times a week. Speak to your local personal trainer to develop your own personalized abdominal routine, and feel free to share some of your own thought and practices on abdominal training.

Personal Training in Vancouver – DJ Jesse James – Blog entry of the week

Personal Training in Vancouver – DJ Jesse James – Blog entry of the week

After almost a 2 week hiatus from being sick I have returned. That sounds like it should be followed by some serious gusto but my energy level is caput. First day back with the Jaaguste machine and things were not so swift. He threw in some new curve balls today. I don’t know if it was his recent trip to Vegas or something he dreamed up but there was some highlights and lowlights to today’s workout. Highlights first loved the new one legged dumbbell curl then extend move. You stand on one leg then do a curl then press the dumbbells to the sky. It has two nice pumps to the arm and shoulder muscles and feels really nice when you complete this one works. Lowlight was some massive dip machine move weird and odd move that almost put me on my ass wrapped in a metal bar. Let’s just say it’s probably not the exercise but me that is the problem but my awkward size and limited abilities paired with foreign movement usual end up in ass over teakettle moves. I must say it was a challenge to make it in but I’m glad it rocked me out of my sick funk and I’m invigorated. See you next week muscle man!!

Kalev Fitness Training Vancouver DJ Jesse James – Blog entry of the week

Kalev — Mon, 23 Feb 2009 16:06:51 +0000

Kalev Fitness Training Vancouver DJ Jesse James – Blog entry of the week. Getting up early and working out is both foreign and intensely unexciting to me. But I must admit it is growing on me a little. This Friday I aimed to get to the gym 30 minutes early and really warm up before my work out. Ambitious yes and it turned out to be very rewarding. When Mr Jaaguste (you may not know this but his last name is even harder to say then his first) showed up with his words of encouragement I was excited. So we hit it hard first a combination of arms, chest and back in a cycle for several reps more then I could pump out the previous week. The warm up was really helping me push out several more push-up on the bench then I had ever imaged I could do. Some more reps with weights in front of the mirror and some side hold that’s really worked my abs. And as usual to finish off the work out a unique exercise on the ball that is not only emasculating but difficult. It involves getting the ball tightly up under your torso then crunching with full arms out down then pulling the body straight up and squeezing the back muscles. After the classic 5 more from Kalev I was toast and felt a horrible goodness all over my body.

Vancouver Personal Trainer Kalev Training DJ Jesse James – Blog entry of the week

Kalev — Thu, 12 Feb 2009 17:57:09 +0000

Vancouver Personal Trainer Kalev Training DJ Jesse James – Blog entry of the week… Drinking the night before a workout has probably got to be the most unrewarding thing a person can do for their body. All be it I am a dj so not only is there financial gain for my drinking but it helps pass the time during the 4 hours I find myself hitting play then mix then play again. You can imagine the joy I felt pulling my sorry ass out of bed to go join Mr Muscles Kalev for an exciting round of physical fitness. But I did make it and that is more then I can say for myself in previous years. I’m glad that I have this forum to help people out in their own workouts and educate you how Kalev personal training has help me get back into shape. So I would like to take this time to warn you all DO NOT TELL KALEV YOU WENT DRINKING…. He does not care and will work you out harder…… I have been doing a mixture of Kalev training and a DVD program called p90x. To date I have puked zero times at p90x , and today I have puked once at Kalev training. It wasn’t even something hard he pushed me to do it was simple chest pull ups but the mixture of the night before and using the correct posture to complete the exercise was a perfect storm. Enough about my weakness and a little about what I have learned lately from Kalev. First off I am finally starting to really feel the workout and beginning to push ever pull and push and it feels rewarding. My back has shown the most development to date it’s a huge thing for me. I get less back pain at work and I feel myself standing up a lot straighter. So hold that form and feel the burn it’s a great feeling. Secondly vary your workout and ask to do different things Kalev has tons of different ideas and is eager to throw something new at you pick a part you want to work on and ask. I have been doing wrist workouts to help with my hands and wrists and his simple technique has helped dramatically. Third try not to drink the night before it is not rewarding.
