		<description><![CDATA[How many of you know about Tim Ferriss?  He&#8217;s an interesting guy.  He wrote a book several years ago called Four Hour Work Week, which I enjoyed.  He has now released his second book, which I have read and am re-reading.  I enjoyed it immensely.  The book is entitled, &#8220;The 4-Hour Body.&#8221;  If you are interested in losing weight, gaining muscle, holding your breath and any number of other physical tasks, Tim is your man.  He condenses the available science down for you and tests it on himself. Here&#8217;s the link to the book on Amazon.  It&#8217;s a very interesting read. The 4-Hour Body: An Uncommon Guide to Rapid Fat-Loss, Incredible Sex, and Becoming Superhuman]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[According to a report in Journal of Internal Medicine, Researchers at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine found that some activity may be better than none at all for certain areas of your health like heart health, but milder forms of activity may not be sufficient to hold off or attenuate age-related decline in bone. So, fighting bone loss or decline is yet another reason to engage in more intense shorter duration workouts as advocated by Dr. Al Sears in his PACE program.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[OK, Fitness Diggers. Here&#8217;s my new favorite bodyweight exercise/strength training/weight loss program: Bodyweight Blueprint For Fat Loss This program is so &#8220;IDigFitness&#8221; that I bought it myself. And now I&#8217;m going to &#8220;use&#8221; it myself. It&#8217;s fast and it&#8217;s fun. Here&#8217;s a little sample of what the workout is like. Enjoy! Please, click here and go learn more about the program these two fitness coaches have put together. I&#8217;ve preached this over and over, but you can spend a little on a program like this, and you can save those monthly health club fees, not to mention the time and gas you waste driving to and from your health club workouts. And here&#8217;s the real bonus: YOU&#8217;LL BE IN BETTER SHAPE! That&#8217;s right, Better Shape.  In case you haven&#8217;t heard about the latest fitness research, all that cardio and aerobics is not only time consuming, it&#8217;s ineffective for both fitness and fat loss.

Is there anything more to say?  Check out Bodyweight Blueprint today.  You can get started right along with me using this great program.  In fact, as soon as I finish this post, it&#8217;s time for my Bodyweight Blueprint workout.  Let&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Huh? An Ab Shovel &#8211; what the heck is that? It&#8217;s my latest idea for a late night infomercial &#8220;get-you-six-pack-ab&#8221; device. I&#8217;m sure you&#8217;ve seen all these goofy devices they hawk on late night TV that supposedly will give you 6-pack abs by tomorrow morning. Yea, right! Well, here at IDigFitness we think fitness ought to be fun, so we&#8217;ve come up with a new 6-pack device &#8211; the Ab Shovel. OK, it&#8217;s not exactly new. You may know it as the &#8220;snow shovel.&#8221; If you want to get a good ab workout while you play in the snow, this is for you. Just get out there and shovel off that sidewalk or driveway. No snowblowers, please. If you do, I think you&#8217;ll agree you&#8217;ve gotten quite an abs, back, shoulder, arms, legs workout, and it was fun (in a Tom Sawyer kind of way). Or, if you didn&#8217;t think it was that much fun, at least you combined your workout time and your household chores, so you freed up a little time to have fun some other way. [PS: Before you go doing the "Ab Shovel" workout, warm up, stretch, and be sure you don't overdo it. People have [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Those of you who follow this website know that I am an evangelist for Dr. Al Sears&#8217; P.A.C.E. fitness program. I bought it years ago and when it comes to efficiency and effectiveness in exercise, P.A.C.E. is second to none. This post is being written on New Year&#8217;s Day, a time when many of us are renewing our vows to lose weight and get in shape. Coincidentally, I just learned that Dr. Sears has updated and improved the P.A.C.E. program and has recently released a new version. If one of your New Year&#8217;s Resolutions involves losing weight or being more fit, I recommend that you consider Dr. Sears&#8217; P.A.C.E. program. He calls it a &#8220;12-Minute Fitness Revolution.&#8221; In my opinion, there is no more effective and efficient way to improve your health.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I heard a guy defending his need to belong to a fitness club where he could work out with their expensive Nautilus machines say, &#8220;bodyweight workouts aren&#8217;t hard enough to get me in shape.&#8221; Oh, really. Are you one of those people who thinks you need to spend a bunch of money on a fitness club membership to get a good workout? Here at IDF we think the fitness club fad has just about run its course. Oh sure, it&#8217;s a nice, healthy social outlet, but don&#8217;t kid yourself. Its not necessary to belong to a fitness club to get in great shape. I won&#8217;t go into all of the ways you can workout using just your bodyweight, but here are a couple of teaser exercises to get you going, and if you are doubting whether bodyweight exercises are really beneficial, these two exercises should make a believer out of you. Develop Your Upper Chest with super-slow feet-elevated push-ups. This is what Jon Benson calls the 20-second push-up. I don&#8217;t know what your current level of fitness and strength is, so I&#8217;ll give you some alternatives. If you&#8217;re a beginner: If you are not strong enough to do regular push-ups, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have emphasized the importance of a good routine that does not require a gym. Here is an example of a routine that is a great way to stay fit and in shape at anytime at any location. Exercises: Upper Body Pushups: Works your chest, arms, shoulders and back. Arm Circles: Done properly will work your shoulders and tapezius (neck) muscles. Dips: Triceps (back of your upper arm) and chest. Lower Body Burpees: Works entire body and gets heart rate up to fat burning level Prisoner Squats: Hips, thighs, and butt Chair Sit: Hips and thighs Abdominals Crunches: upper abdominal (stomach) muscles Bridge: Lower back muscles L-Sit: upper and lower abdominals The Routine: I like to alternate between upper body exercises, lower body exercises and abdominal exercises. There are three different exercises that I will recommend that you do to keep the routine fresh, but give it a little different feel each time. Do one routine three times a week and your metabolism will increase and you will begin to burn fat. Routine One Do 10-15 repetitions for each exercise, do all exercises in a row, rest for 60 seconds and then do them again for a total of 3 [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If you have seen the movie 300 you would have seen a whole bunch of guys with ripped abs, no fat bodies, and bulging muscles. That movie started a bit of a craze in the fitness industry that you can capitalize on. The guys in the movie got that way from the 300 workout, a workout especially designed to get these guys in great shape so that they could spend the entire movie with their shirts off. The cool thing about the workout is that they did not use weights to do it. The workout is based off of isometric exercises. These are exercises that use resistance, continuous motion, and lots of repetitions. You can do a version of the 300 home workout following the video below. The workout is pretty simple, 10 exercises, 30 repetitions each, for 300 total movements. If you cannot do all 30 repetitions then do as many as you can and work your way up. It is a great workout, guaranteed to get your heart rate going, and burn that fat.]]></description>
