Re: Getting rid of belly fat ~ easy

Hey Sodbuster, he is correct, the squats will burn the fat a whole heckuva lot better than crunches. Crunches will make your abs stronger, and build them muscle, but the layer of fat will still be there. Squats burn fat and up your metabolism so you continue to burn fat even when you're done doing t...

Re: Atlas Senior Citizen Workout

And don't forget, guys, the more pushups you do the more your abs are worked, also - isometrically, since you have to maintain the correct position (body straight). And do either of you put some dynamic tension exercises anywhere in there? I would suggest the awesome exercises in Lesson 1 (Rope Pull...

The secret is in the book...

Re: Come on, let's get this party started!

Haha, thanks for the comments guys. Yeah, cutting carbs is the way to go for sure. I'm kinda going the route of more protein less carbs, but also following a diet I learned in another diet - I know it works because I used it before. As far as cardio, I won't have the time for long walks, but for mus...

Re: Never too late

I'm about to begin it (again) at the age of 45. It worked wonders years ago but I made the mistake of joining a gym. Never again!

Re: Come on, let's get this party started!

Hey Henry! Thanks for posting, I love hearing how it works for the people who really try it. I've been the gym rat before, I've been lifting weights off and on for over 30 years, and have had good success with pumping iron. Funny thing is, when I did the CA course it just made me feel better, no ach...

Come on, let's get this party started!

Where is every one? Every time I come to the forum I always see all kinds of "guests" lurking about, and yes I was one of them! Well, it's time to get this forum going again! Let me start by saying that many years ago I used Dynamic Tension and the CA course AND IT DID WORK! Like everythin...
