Work out of the Week

Hello Atlanta Fitness group, I found a very good blog for finding out about new and fun exercise programs called: Workout of the Week!: http://www.workoutoftheweek.net/ with Elsa Simcik, Each week she will highlight the workout that she has done that week, you can checkout what she has already done out on the workout of the Week web page, Thought it was a very interesting Read!

Fitness strategy's for life

Hello Atlanta fitness group
It's Not That Hard to Find Time for Fitness and activity.
The key, is to use your time more wisely. Think about killing two birds w/ one stone.
-Take your kids to the park or ride bikes together, and you're getting physical activity while enjoying family time, he says. Beyond that, go for a hike, take the kids swimming, or play hide-and-seek, tag, softball, or horseshoes in the backyard.
-At work, he says, schedule a meeting on the jogging track or on the golf course.
Also, forget the idea that you have to trudge to the gym and spend an hour or more doing a formal workout. Instead, you can work short spurts of physical activity into -your day. Maybe park that car a little farher out in that parking lot.
-Everyone has or can make 20 minutes. Everyone has 10 minutes to jump rope, and sometimes that's better than 20 minutes of walking or running.
Indeed, squeezing in two or three bouts of 15 or 20 minutes of activity is just as effective as doing it all at once. Vacuuming the house in the morning, riding bikes in the park with the kids in the afternoon, then taking a brisk walk in the evening can add up to an active day.
Recent U.S. government guidelines say that to lose weight and keep it weight off, you should accumulate at least 60 minutes of exercise a day. But half an hour a day is all you need to reap the health and disease-fighting benefits of exercise.

Triceps Workout exercise program, advanced body building strategy

This program is designed for the advanced body builder to really shock those triceps, For more size do more weight and less reps (6-8) for more toning do less weight and more reps (12-25). These would be examples of the exercises to do, sorry I don't have pictures but i tryed to make the exercises descriptive.
Triceps Dip, this can be done a dip bar which is a parrell bar machine, also can be done on a bench, A compound move for adding arm size
Skull-Crusher
Put added emphasis on the long head with this triceps movement, grasp wieght tightly and turn the wieght upside-down over your head
Rope Pressdown
Burn your tri's with this isolation exercise
Close-Grip Bench Press
change in grip turns this chest exercise into a tricep tightener.
Seated Two-Hand Overhead Extension,
Target your triceps with this shaping movement
Dumbbell Kickbacks
final exercise with lighter weight and super-strict form.
I recommend 2 to 3 sets, switching the order can also spice up the workout.
Good luck and great workout.
