Instant Abs, Calves & Conditioning

A Common Exercise With Multiple Fitness Benefits

Here's a way to cut down on the length of your
workouts. Do total body exercises that exercise
many parts of the body and several aspects of
fitness at once. You can kill two birds with one
stone.

Below I'll share with you one such exercise.
I've started doing it about a month ago and am
addicted to it.

My Lightning Speed Fitness Program consists of
several other powerful full body exercises such
as the one I'm sharing with you in this article.
These full body exercises allow you to get in the
best shape in the least amount of time.

This tip is from post number 250 of the Member's
Only Forum of the Lightning Speed Fitness
Program. The forum is loaded with exercise tips
and techniques in addition to the main Lightning
Speed Exercises.

* Instant Abs, Calves & Conditioning *

I wanted to share with you one simple exercise
you can do to get in great shape and build rock
solid abs at the same time.

Recently in post # 219 I shared with you a great
technique to build up your abs while doing other
daily activities.

I had to stop doing this for a while because I
pulled a muscle in my back after a soccer game.
My abdominal squeezing technique was hurting my
back so I needed to stop using it until the back
muscles healed.

So I forgot about doing my ab exercises. In the
meantime my abs softened up quite a bit.

I started something new. I started jumping rope
fairly intensely. I'd do 500 to 750 jumps in one
session.

Not only did this exercise improve my fitness,
not only did it build up the explosiveness and
size of my calf muscles but I was amazed to
notice how rock solid my abs felt after a couple
of days of doing this.

Keep in mind I wasn't doing any specific
abdominal exercises.

Each jump requires you to hold in your abs quite
tightly but I didn't even realize I was working
out my abs and core at the same time.

So if you want a great all around exercise to
add to your routine, I'd suggest jumping rope.

One thing that happened to me with the rope
jumping is that I got very sore shins. So I
rested a couple of days and now I try to jump
rope on soft surfaces like a carpet or mat. That
has worked much better.

I jump with both legs at a time, I also
alternate and sometimes I just jump with one leg
at a time. I find this to be the hardest.

This is great for developing your calf muscles
and your jumping ability.

Let me know if you try jumping rope or if you
already use it regularly. It can get your heart
rate up really high. I usually do just 100 to 150
or so at a time before I have to stop.

This is more anaerobic conditioning than
aerobic. Both are important to total fitness.

I hope you enjoyed this post and consider adding
rope jumping to your exercise regimen.

To Your Radiant Health, Happiness, Fitness and Freedom,
