Have you ever experienced muscle soreness from your last workout? Having sore muscles is a good reason to skip a
workout, right? Maybe, maybe not.
Sore muscles and weight lifting go together like celebrities and breakups, especially if you are a beginner or coming back to weight training.
If you’re the typical male, you’ve commonly forgotten to check your ego at the door and lift too much weight rather than building gradually into your workouts.
If you’re too busy to finish reading this, my best and simple advice is to lower the intensity and work through it if you
have sore muscles and scheduled for a workout. Sore muscles are weak and damaged and if you expose them to more high intensity, it can lead to further damage, delayed recovery and potentially injury.
Getting muscle soreness is very common and a trial-and-error experience because you’re not sure what you can handle and what you can not handle.
It’s 2009. Your old excuses for not getting in shape won’t work. As Dr. Evil (Austin Powers) said, ZIP IT! I don’t want to hear them anymore! Read em’, then haul your excuseless butt to the gym!
1. I have no time.
According to a story in a recent issue of Men’s Health magazine, Barack Obama works out for 45 minutes a day, 6 days a week. Obama doesn’t just play basketball either. Our new president stays fit to lead with cardio and weight lifting. He also says he wishes he could train 90 minutes a day. Have you ever seen what the daily schedule of a U.S. president looks like? If the busiest man in the world can train every day for 45 minutes a day, then what’s your excuse? ZIP IT! You ain’t got one!
2. It’s too expensive.
Getting in shape certainly is expensive… if you keep wasting hundreds of dollars, month after month on worthless “miracle” weight loss pills, internal cleansing gimmicks and “magic” potions that all claim to make you slim. Deceptive advertising and slick marketing for bogus diet aids is more rampant than ever. 2008 was the year of thewu-long tea scam, the acai berry scam, and, of course, the ubiquitous “cleansing” and “detox” gimmicks . Unless you put on your critical thinking cap and learn to investigate before you invest, then you’ll get scammed by 2009’s flavor of the year as well. Your quest for those elusive “6-pack” abs will not only continue to be expensive, you’ll go broke. Walking, jogging, calisthenics and body weight exercises are FREE. If you want to know what’s really expensive, tally up the cost of legitimate expenses like natural food, gym memberships, fitness education, dumbbells and so on, and compare that to your doctor’s bill when you’re sick.

Sure there’s a time for “micro-targeting” your abs to really dig in deep and shred some muscle fibers.
But you know that this is only HALF of the battle, right?
If you really want to see your 6-pack, you’re gonna have to shred some FAT as well and the exercise I’m going to show you will help you accomplish BOTH…
…at the same time!
You see, by working a “chain” of muscles together, you can not only target muscle fibers for growth, but you also recruit more TOTAL muscle fibers.
This helps by increasing overall calorie expenditure DURING your workout…
…and jacks up your metabolism even higher AFTER your workout!
Here’s a GREAT exercise that demonstrates this powerful principle:
