Fitness Programs 

The first series of exercises are for beginners as it covers the basic forms of push ups that can be used. There is no need to do them really fast. Using an average speed of one every 1-2 seconds is just fine. All variations of a push up do have characteristics in common:

- keep your abs tight to stabilize your body

- your body needs to be straight, no sticking your butt up into the air

- breathe in when going down, exhale when going up

1. Inner 
These are also called diamond push ups because of the shape your fingers form when they are placed together. As the name implies, your hands are next to each other with your thumbs touching and your index fingers touching to create the diamond. Your hands should be under your lower chest, not near your shoulders. These will work your triceps more than the regular form.

Do 15 reps

2. Regular Width

This is the basic form with hands at shoulder width apart and at shoulder level, not mid chest. Hand positions can be varied as you do these exercises more often.

Do 15 reps.

3. Outer

Wider push ups work your chest more than your triceps. You will find that this will mean that being exhausted from previous push ups does not really affect the fatigue level as you change variations. These are done with your hands 12 inches further out than a regular push up.

Do 15 reps.

4. Spider Walk

These are pretty cool but take some getting used to in order to get it right without wasting time changing position. Your hands in this case are in two different spots - one is just beyond your head, the other near your lower chest. Do a push up then change hand positions by adjusting your feet to "walk" your body forward so your higher hand stays in contact with the floor and becomes your lower hand. Running out of room is pretty easy so walk forward two moves then walk backwards two to cut down the length you need.

Do 15 reps.

5. Hindu

Each home workout plan needs a tough section... Start with your butt way up in the air, come down to a push up position then continue through placing your hips near the floor and your head as high as possible. Reverse the move to go back to the start.

Do 15 reps.

6. Clap

This is the same as a basic push up except you push hard to force your body off the floor and clap your hands in front of your chest.

Do 15 reps.

7. Seven Second

As the name implies, do the basic form but take seven seconds to go down and seven seconds to go back up. This will burn your muscles pretty good!

Fitness Programs / 7 Secrets to a Wildly Successful Weight Loss and Fitness Program

Fitness Programs  All too often, each of us grasps for quick fixes, fast results and "little effort" schemes to lose weight and get back in shape (or get in shape for the first time). Without exception, most fail miserably and continue the same patterns of behavior that put them there in the first place. What usually follows is the "blame game" citing time, obligations, work, soreness, food taste and the wrong phase of the moon for the lapse in self achievement. Each of us has exactly 24 hours in a day. No one has more and no one has less.

Fitness Programs / Healthy Weight Loss - Creating a Weight Loss Program

Healthy Weight Loss - Creating a Weight Loss Program Fitness Programs  Before you begin any weight loss program, it is important that you draw up a specific plan to help you stay on track. As a prelude to making your weight loss plan, you will need to do a little homework. First, you will need to set a weight loss goal. In other words, what specific weight do you want to get to and when is your target date for reaching your goal? To arrive at this number, find out what your ideal lean body weight should be for someone your age and sex and multiply that number by 1.15 for men and 1.2 for women. This will give you your ideal body weight which includes your lean body mass plus an acceptable body fat percentage. Second, a determination of your resting metabolic rate would be very helpful. Your resting metabolic rate is the number of calories you burn at rest. This information will assist in determining your optimal calorie intake and give you an idea of how slow or fa...
