    I Instruct Fitness classes here in my town for a bunch of my friends, and I thought I would share, for those of you that want to get into tip top shape for that special someone.

    I will be posting the exorcises I do everyday in this thread so you can follow along. And I will try to keep it fresh.

    You will need:

    NOTHING at all. No weights. Nothing. Just a carpet for some of the lay down exorcises. Some of the more advanced people can use.

    Ankle/hand weights.
    A Yoga Ball.

    Levels:

    Start at the level that feels most appropriate for you.

    Level 1 = 1/5 of the exorcise.
    Level 2 = 2/5 of the exorcise.
    Level 3 = 3/5 of the exorcise.
    Level 4 = 4/5 of the exorcise.
    Level 5 = The Exorcise.

    Questions/Suggestions:

    If you have any questions, feel free to ask them. I will gladly answer all of your questions to help you get the most out of this.

    If you want to work a certain body part, then make a post, and I will do a specific exorcise to target that body part.

    Tips

    I will be putting tips up with the exorcises everyday.

    Is there anything else besides pushups (and variants) for the chest?

    Exorcises

    Tip -- dont forget to stretch

    chest/shoulders/lower back 100 pushups without stopping.

    Tip -- you can hold yourself up, but dont let yourself fall

    calfs (this can also work your butt if you flex it) 200 calf raises without stopping.

    Tip -- I usually do in front of the t.v. so I dont get bored.

    abs 500 repetitions -- abs. spread this out over about 20 minutes.

    Tip -- Mix it up: situps, crunches (try switching it up by turning your knees so they are resting on the right, or left side if you want a specific burn), leg raises (while laying on your back with your hands tucked under your butt)

    Uhh...

    Exercise is a lot different than exorcism.

    :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    Should I be afraid?

    What about quality over quantity? I find out I get better results if I perform not as many repetitions, but instead focus on the quality of each individual one.

    A motto I always follow is -- the better you get, the better you get.
    Do as much as you can while keeping good technique. If I want you to go slow, I will tell you to. But otherwise, go at a steady pace.

    Slower exorcises work more of the stabalizer muscles.
    Faster exorcises work more of the quick burst/short muscles.

    But in the end, the better you get at the exorcises, the better the burn will be. :wink:

    Good guide Mike, even if it still is a little small. I've got a few tips I'll post here for working out specific muscles (lats, triceps, deltoids,...).

    I would die if I had to do 500 crunches/sit-up in 20 mins.

    However, now we know why Beebo looks as good as he does *drool*:kiss:

    He got thrown out of his house. He's got bigger things on his mind at the moment.

    If some people are still interested I can *try* and continue what Mike started if I find some time.

    Man I didn't know pushups and leg raises could get rid of those pesky ghosts!
    (It's exercise, and I'm just kidding around with you)

    Serious workout question though: I was told it was better to do sit ups with your calves on a low couch/chair, is this true, or does it really matter?

    It's harder to go all the way extended and back all the way down. That could be an advantage or a disadvantage depending on your skill level.

    I know a few things about excercise and one that I think is big is if you do say half the number of push ups but do them twice as slow you will teare more muscel fibers and build muscel faster!
