Show and Go: High Performance Training to Look, Feel, and Move Better – This was obviously my biggest project of 2010.  I actually began writing the programs and filming the exercise demonstration videos in 2009, and put all the “guinea pigs” through the four-month program beginning in February.  When they completed it as the start of the summer rolled around, I made some modifications based on their feedback and then got cracking on writing up all the tag along resources.  Finally, in September, Show and Go was ready to roll.  So, in effect, it took 10-11 months to take this product from start to finish – a lot of hard work, to say the least.  My reward has been well worth it, though, as the feedback has been awesome.  Thanks so much to everyone who has picked up a copy.

Optimal Shoulder Performance – This was a seminar that Mike Reinold and I filmed in November of 2009, and our goal was to create a resource that brought together concepts from both the rehabilitation and performance training fields to effectively bridge the gap for those looking to prevent and/or treat shoulder pain.  In the process, I learned a lot from Mike, and I think that together, we brought rehabilitation specialists and fitness professionals closer to being on the same page.

Why President Obama Throws Like a Girl – A lot of people took this as a political commentary, but to be honest, it was really just me talking about the concept of retroversion as it applies to a throwing shoulder – with a little humor thrown in, of course!

Overbearing Dads and Kids Who Throw Cheddar – This one was remarkably easy to write because I’ve received a lot of emails from overbearing Dads who want their kids to throw cheddar!

Cueing: Just One Piece of Semi-Private Training Success – Part 1 and Part 2 - These articles were featured at fitbusinessinsider.com.  I enjoy writing about not only the training side of things, but some of the things we’ve done well to build up our business.

Three Years of Cressey Performance: The Right Reasons and the Right Way – This might have been the top post of the year, in my eyes. My job is very cool.

The Skinny on Strasburg’s Injury – I hate to make blog content out of someone else’s misfortune, but it was a good opportunity to make some points that I think are very valid to the discussion of not only Stephen Strasburg’s elbow injury, but a lot of the pitching injuries we see in youth baseball.

Surely, there are many more to list, but I don’t want this to run too long!  Have a safe and happy new year, and keep an eye out for the first content of 2011, which is coming very soon!

The time and effort spent upon sit ups can be really demanding. Therefore performing them the incorrect way can make your efforts an overall total waste and potentially bring about undesirable effects on your body. This will lead to quite a few to perhaps give up. But bear in mind the most effective way to undertake sit ups will be generally easier and also fun, and also provides results fast. So what’s the best way to do sit ups or crunches?

First thing with regards to performing sit-ups is to recognize that you are performing them for your own benefit, so always be honest with yourself. Do not do it simply for the sake of doing it. In the event you delight in doing sit-ups, then that’s the most effective way to complete sit-ups. Ensure that you are determined, imagine just how rewarding it may be to have hot stomach muscles, as well as anything that could cause you to proceed that one step further.

Once you are correctly determined, lay down on a pad. Some people find the easiest way to accomplish sit-ups is to get it done while listening to tunes. It’s no harm. As explained before, as long as you enjoy your workout sessions, anything at all goes. When you are laid down on the pad and ready, shut your eye balls and then try to feel the ab muscle groups tighten and release when you perform the situps and crunches.

Based on the actual authorities, breathing out when muscles are tensed and breathing in when muscles are relaxed is an effective way to perform sit ups. Visualizing your belly muscles can be another ideal way to do situps and crunches, as it helps to completely focus and to keep you determined.

Note that if you do your abs the wrong way, you will end up with severe muscle pains. So you know that if you are following the best way to do sit ups, you will not end up with a stiff neck. Also not stressing your body too much is a must. You must choose the best ways to do sit ups that fit your fitness level in order to acquire better results. After all having firm abs will make you look so much better and make you feel at the top of the world!

Although we will talk about exercise in the later stages of this article, eating healthily is vital to obtaining the dream body that you have always wanted. If you exercise for an hour every day and then eat high fat and unhealthy foods, you will not see any gains at all.

Another important aspect to think about is your mindset. Do you really want to spend time at the gym or working out at home to define your abs? If you do not have any get up and go or any goals then this will be very difficult. Something helpful for a lot of people in this situation is to set a goal that they can try to reach.

If you are able to find a vision in your mind of how you would eventually like to look or feel about yourself then this can also help greatly. It has been proven that for those who have such goals, they are much more likely to achieve them. Those who just exercise for fun tend to lose less weight and become less defined in turn.

A good way to make sure that you balance your body perfectly is to split it into different muscle groups. On your first day of exercise, do you stomach, on the next do your arms and the following day focus on your legs. This way you will become evenly toned and not look off balance.

Should you have any excess fat around your stomach area then any muscles that you do have will not show. To enhance this area, do a lot of cardio work outs which will burn this fat away and leave your belly looking more toned, defined and healthy.

How you choose to train is up to you. Some prefer to use a gym and pay a monthly fee, others with a good level of enthusiasm choose to work out at home and run in their local area all for free instead. Within the home there will be many objects that you can use to assist you whilst exercising.

Tired of that ugly belly fat, can’t hide it anymore, I know how you feel. I use to have the same problem, the answer is to simply do something about it. Visit Six Pack Training for more Information, Tips, and Techniques on how to flatten That Stomach.
