Most Effective Exercises (Part 2)
WEIGHT TRAINING
The selection of the appropriate weight training exercises depends on each and every individual’s limitation and specific goals. For instance, a competitive body builder will do a number of isolated exercises to give mass, symmetry and definition to each and every muscle part. These isolated exercises are equally helpful if you are trying to correct a weakness. For example, if your hamstrings (rear thigh muscles) are underdeveloped, you can use a machine that holds your whole body still while you bend your legs to target your hamstrings.

These are:
Get In Shape To Surf (Part 1)
As surfers, it’s that time of the year again to thrive on the energy of the ocean! Our phone rings and we meet up with friends in the wee-hours of the morning to start another surf journey. Our mind and bodies become restless at the mere thought of riding a fast-breaking wave. We could already feel the peeling shoulder beginning to curl over us that our senses become totally absorbed in that wet and wild moment. We see, hear, feel, and smell everything—even taste the salt that we swear we are already there just by thinking about it!
Those Fabulous Abs
What is it about abs, anyway? Of course there’s the obvious appeal of a flat midsection. But what I can’t figure out is why all the confusion.
