Calisthenic Workout

A calisthenic workout is where you use your own body weight to build muscle. This means no gym equipment and no weights. Calisthenics, also known as body-weight training, can be used at any levels to lose fat and build muscle. The most common upper body exercises are pushups and pull-ups. What makes these exercises so unique is that they can be done in many different variations so you work different muscles. When it comes to the pushup, the closer your hands are together the more you target the triceps and shoulders, the farther away your hands are from each other the more you work the chest. Just like the pushup, the pull-up can be altered to target different types of muscles. When your hands are wider, you work the outer and upper lats; and when your arms are closer to each other you work the lower lats and lower back. You can also use calisthenics to work the legs. Some great exercises are squats, lunges, and calf raises. So remember, you don't need a gym membership or a bunch of weights, all you need is some space and your own body to get a great workout that will benefit you in many ways.

Stomach Cramps While Running


  1. Have you ever gone for a run and got a cramp in your stomach? Well, if so it is nothing really big that you should worry about. The pain usually occurs on the side or bottom of the stomach and is caused due to shallow breathing, not breathing deeply from the lower lungs. Cramps, also know as stitches, can also be caused from what you ate or drank before a workout. If you have a lot of fluids or food in your stomach you are unable to intake large amounts of air which then cause you to get stomach pains. This pains can also happen if your body is low on sodium, potassium, and calcium. So remember, don't eat or drink a lot before a workout, get as much air into your body by taking deep breathes, and make sure your body has enough minerals and vitamins in it.

Juice Cleanse Diet

A juice cleanse diet is a 3 to 4 day period when you only consume fruit and vegetable smoothies. This diet gives you a full body detox that helps improve your health, mood, and appearance. A juice cleanse gets rid of all the harmful toxins in your body by flooding it with super nutrition. This results in weight lose and improved energy. This detox diet also reheals cells and rehydrates the body. The organic plant base diet  gives your cells and nerves a chance to opporate properlys so they could re-establish internal messaging and cell production. Consuming only fruit and vegetables for several days also repairs your gut and gives your stomach and liver a rest. So, to conclude I would really recommend doing a three day juice cleanse diet to improve health and break any bad food cravings that you might have.

Best Ab Exercise


There are many exercises that you can do in order to get a flat toned stomach with visible muscles. But, the overall best move for the abs is the plank. This exercise works your whole entire core without hurting you spine or back. Your upper abs, lower abs, obliques, hips, and back are all targeted with this one exercise. The one thing that makes the plank so special, is that there are many different ways of doing this exercise. You can do forearm planks, straight-arm planks, dolphin planks, spider man planks, and many more. The best way of burning the most amount of fat while still working the muscles is doing an HIIT plank workout. An HIIT plank workout is where you incorporate cardio moves with a variety of plank moves. This combination will burn calories and leave your abs feeling sore the very next day.
