Live Pain free with Corrective Exercise

Do you want to live pain free? You can through Corrective Exercise.

In many cases, the pain you're experiencing now is often the result of a series of small events that, when looked at as a whole, leads to the real reason you're experiencing pain. Muscle imbalance and movement issues are often the root cause of chronic pain AND the reason you can't seem to move past the pain.

Wallet Sciatica?

That's right. a lot of people (mostly guys) carry their wallet in their back pocket. This causes pressure upon sitting on the piriformis which is a muscle deep inside your buttocks (gluteus maximus), which in turn can cause pressure on the sciatic nerve leading to piriformis syndrome. So get your wallet out of your back pocket guys! :D for more great health and fitness tips, visit my site at  www.newstrengthdynamics.com

tomato, tomata, Tabata?

That's right. I said it :D Here is a great workout for burning calories and getting your heat rate up in a very short amount of time. Is FOUR minutes fast enough for you? Here are a couple sample workouts. Have fun :)

TABATA TRAINING

If you don’t know already, Tabata is a four minute session. Each Tabata has 8 intervals  of which you exercise at a very high intensity for 20 seconds. After 20 seconds, you have 10 seconds to rest.  Tabata is a form of high intensity training and one of the benefits of high intensity training is that it can boost your metabolism and heart rate up in a matter of seconds. Long distance running requires anywhere from 10 minutes to 30 in order to get your heart rate up. Not only that but you have to maintain that heart rate for the rest of the jog to get your body to burn fat.

This is a sample of a simple Tabata session:

• Pushups for intervals 1 and 3
• Body weight Squats for intervals 2 and 4
• Medicine ball slams for intervals 5 and 7
• Sprinting or jumping rope for intervals 6 and 8

This is a sample Tabata training plan:

• Barbell Squats (intervals 1,3)
• Pushups (intervals 2,5)
• Chin ups (intervals 4,6)
• Sprinting in place (intervals 7,8)
• Equipment needed: Barbell with weights, surface mat for pushups and a chin up bar

The 10 Minute workout? PLEEEZE!

No really, It's true. They say doing something is better than doing nothing at all, and for those days that you just do not have the time, or you are traveling and want to get a quickie workout in, I have just the solution. I came across this ten minute workout from Mario Lopez "Knockout Fitness" best seller. It's a good read, and a lot of useful information. Thanks Mario! The best part about this workout is that it requires no equipment! Great for a hotel room workout  for you road warriors  or if you do not have access to a weight room :D  Here is the workout:

1. Squat Thrusts (up to 1 minute) these are basically the same as burpee's. Google burpee's.
2. Pushup (up to 25 reps)
3. Jumping Jacks (up to 1 minute)
4.Crunch (up to 25 reps)
5.Pushup (up to 1 minute)

*After first circuit, rest 2 to 4 minutes, then repeat the circuit again.
