How To Work Lower Abs Effectively

This post today is all about how to work lower abs with some of my top tips to help you get some amazing results.

As you know by now if you have been following this my martial fitness blog for a while, you will see that my methods are no fluffing around on fancy machines or having to stick to a starvation diet plan that never works.

In the end it all comes down to lifestyle choices. Do you want to live on this planet watching your family grow up around you, not having worries about diabetes or high blood pressure.

Now is the time to start taking action

You know that in your deepest heart you owe it to your body to look after it and keep in shape. It wasn’t designed for sitting around eating junk food.

Yes it will be hard making the change, but that’s all part of the process of growing.

Think about this for a moment… you were not suddenly born on to this planet walking and talking. It takes time and effort to create these life skills and it’s just the same with anything new we start to learn in life. It gets tough. But the real key is how we handle those tough times…

Should we just throw in the towel every time things get tough?

If you need motivation i suggest you head on over and join the RH Martial Fitness Facebook Page. I’m going to start adding more motivational tips to get you in the right mindset for success.

I hope i’m getting through to you whether you are at the beginner on the journey to start getting yourself in shape or even a serious fit person who is struggling to hit that next level.

So let’s look at how to work lower abs effectively

The lower abs tend to be a tough are to get flat and defined. I always suggest that if you want to see the abs you will need to get rid of the fat which is laying over the muscles.

To do this you will want to work on some high intensity cardio and conditioning, along with eating less junk and more nutrition.

For the guys reading this post right now i’m sure most will agree that they don’t want to have that bulky bodybuilder look, but rather the toned cut look, just like the pic of Bruce lee here.

The exercise that works wonders on the lower abs is the leg raises.

If your core body is weaker you can start by just alternating one leg lift after another while laying flat on your back. This way is great to get warmed up too.

Once you have a strong enough core you will build up to bringing both of your legs straight together upwards to the sky and back down without touching your feet on the ground.

You want to reach around 8-12 reps if you can. Then repeat another 2 times over for best results.

Get practicing as this is a great exercise on how to work lower abs and get them burning fast. Also you may want to look at my article i wrote on exercises for a flat belly too.

Remember what i said at the start of this post about how you owe it to yourself to take action and stay in shape.

3 Ways To Melt Fat Off Your Waistline

First of all before we dive in to the 3 ways that you should be using to strip that stubborn belly fat off your waistline, let me just say i hope you had a great mothers day in the weekend.

My family hit the local Japanese restaurant for the mothers day meal which we had a great time to catch up and have a laugh. (Good Times)

I’m here to share with you realistic and practical methods you can definitely go out there and apply today and start to drop off the pounds within the first 7 days. Sometimes it just feels like that belly bulge just won’t budge.

Morning Cardio/Conditioning

The main reason why you want to hit up your cardio exercises in the morning is because over a good night sleep you have burned through the glycogen (Sugars) and this gives you the opportunity to tap into your fat cells.

So this means when you do any type of cardio training even for 10 minutes your body is burning fat the whole process. I learned this method off an old friend who sweared by it.

Cut Out This Food

The second way to burn off fat especially around your midsection is to eliminate sugars down to at least 15 grams a day. Studies have shown over the years that sugar is the sneaky food that creeps into most of our foods which lead to high insulin levels in our blood stream which causes us to store belly fat.

My approach to healthy eating is to eat as much natural as you can, but this method alone will be the one that wins you great results.

Pick Up The Pace

So lastly if i were to give you another tip right off the bat it would have to be, pick up the pace when you workout. If you have 15 minutes to do a workout you want to make sure you use that time up efficiently and effectively. You want to exercise with short periods of rest. This post i wrote a while back will help you out called Interval Training Programme

So what results get you expect?

Well it obviously depends on how much weight you have to lose, but in general speaking using these methods you should easily lose 8-12 pounds in your first 30 days. (And that’s very achievable!)

Here’s what i would like you to do next…

The summer is coming up and every body wants to look good and feel great i’m sure you agree.

So using these 3 ways will help you head towards the results you want, but i have 3 more tips and they are all by video instruction so you can see what i am teaching.

Belly Busting Lower Ab Workout

It’s just a few days away now until i officially launch my belly fat melting Martial abs program.

The program is designed for the ladies who want to slide back into the jeans with ease, and the fellers who want to get those rock hard abs without the beer gut.

The main reason why I have put this program together is that too many people are being misled with all the latest scams out there.

I’m here to show you that you don’t need to jump on the latest fad diet or buy the latest fancy piece of gym equipment that promises you the world.

The most common question is how do i lose belly fat… there are definitely the certain best exercises what to do to target the midsection area and this is what I’ve covered in the program, along with what foods to eat and what foods to avoid that lock in belly fat.

So here’s a quick tip exercise for you to work those lower abs

Quick Lower ab Workout

Lay flat down on your back with legs straight and together plus arms led by your side

Slowly lift your legs upwards keeping them straight until you are at about a 90 degree angle. Don’t worry if you have to slightly bend your knees that’s fine it still works the abs hard.

Now slowly return your legs back down to the starting position

Continue for 6 – 10 repetitions just to get the feel of things. Repeat 2-3 times and you have yourself a great little lower abs exercises routine.

I would personally add this to my routine with other exercises when targeting the whole midsetion area workout.

The exercise above will target the lower abs, even though it will also work the whole midsection plus your lower body.

If you want an easy version just lift your legs up one at a time switching from left to right, until you build up more power with your core to lift both legs.

Now i’m only just touching the tip of the iceberg here with this basic exercise, but if you want to learn in detail via video how to target abs and shrink your waistline you will want to look out for my martial abs program.

It’s going to be like no other program out there as by now i’m sure you know i don’t run with the crowd, with the lastest diets and workout machines.

I’m also going to give you access to my Master Class Members area where you will learn new full body workouts every week and also as i want to keep my friends safe who invest in themselves so i have decided to add some bonus weekly videos where i will be teaching you how to protect yourself from an attacker.

That’s all for today but make sure you keep your eyes peeled out for some more exercise tips over the next few days.

Shrink Your Waistline With A Fast Oblique Exercise

Hey hope you are doing really well, and today’s post here at RH Martial Fitness we are going to take a look at a really effective oblique exercise.

Now some people may want to know what are the obliques? They are simply the muscles that run down the side of your abs. We have internal obliques which are up high near the ribs, and the external ones down nearer the waistline.

Oblique Exercise Shrinks Waistline

There are certain sneaky exercises you can do which will directly target them too. So if you want to lose that stubborn belly fat on the side of your waistline, and tighten everything up around that area you will want to exercise the obliques.

Now you can go out there and buy some fancy machine that costs you hundreds of pounds/dollars in cash to try and tackle your midsection, but the big problem is most of the time those machines just gather dust and gets put away in the corner never to see day light again.

The other day i remember flicking through a fitness magazine and seeing a fitness machine for sale, which mentions how it tones your legs and core. You sit on it like a horse and ride it and i’m guessing it moves forwards and backwards like a horse.

Trust me you don’t need that type equipment to get fit. Actually you don’t need any.

Now personally i don’t really get these type of products but it’s definitely each to their own. Over the years of training i have found that people need to mix things up in their exercise routines to get the best results.

Here’s a quote that sums up what i am saying by Albert Einstein…

“Doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results”

Like i mentioned before we must tweak and change things up to our exercise routine for best results. ( We need to suprise our body.)

Fast Oblique Exercise Which Works Wonders

So here’s a good and effective oblique exercise which i’m giving you for free and if you add this to your exercise routine you will start to notice the difference within a couple of weeks.

First of all find a space standing with feet around shoulder width apart
You are then going to lift your right knee up and bring it over in line with your left hip.
What i like to do is keep both of my hands up and twist slightly the other way to really target the sides of my stomach.
You then repeat this for 15 repetitions on one side then change to the other.

Quick Tip: You always want to squeeze and engage all of your stomach muscles in every repetition. This keeps everything tight which we want.

So the beauty of this exercise is it can be done anywhere and only takes a few minutes. I would personally recommend you add this to your midsection targeting workout for the best results.

Now if you are wondering reading this, ‘well Rich i’m just not really too sure which exercises to do for the best results?’

Don’t worry… Next week i’m officially launching my new ab program called martial abs, along with some exclusive members area too.

I will be speaking more about this over the next few days so be sure to look out for it. Make sure you start incorporating this fast oblique exercise you have learned today.

Inner Thigh Exercises That Burn Fat Fast

Inner Thigh Exercises Guide

I’m always finding ways to develop myself, whether it’s working out to try and master a new exercise, or reading inspiring books on some of the greats who have walked the earth before us.

So today we are going to look at the physical side of things, on helping you achieve the body you want step by step.

I’m here to say you can achieve that body you really want, but you have to meet me half way and put the effort in your end.

Like the old saying goes, ‘You can’t get someone else to do the push ups for you’

I’m going to share with you a few inner thigh exercises that will get your body and especially the lower body in fat burning mode in no time!

By now if you have been following this blog for a while you will understand that I’m big on bodyweight exercises.

For these two exercises you will need no equipment at all, just a little space a home will be fine.

First Inner Thigh Exercise

This exercise is what i call the Mount Fuji Squat.

1. Legs wide apart, over shoulder width with toes pointing outwards around 45 degree angle

2. Place your hands either on your hip or hand touching head, but if you want to work your arms i would keep them out straight at shoulder height.

3. Bend legs downwards keep back up right and making sure you look forward (Hold for 3 seconds)

4. Return to orginal starting position.

Note: You want to do around 8-12 of these Fuji squats and if you want to really go for it do the 8-12 repetitions of these inner thigh exercises and then hold the position for 30 seconds.

If you are doing them correctly you should nearly be able to balance a cup of water on each thigh when holding the static pose.

Second Inner Thigh Exercise

I always like to mix things up as i think it’s good to keep our bodies adapting and not complacent.

This is the active workout for the two inner thigh exercises. Introducing the squat shuffle…

1. First start off in a regular squat position which is feet around should width apart with knees slightly bent leaning gently forward but keeping a straight back. Plus stick your bum out…

2. I like to keep my hands grasped together in front of my chest as i feels comfortable for me.

3. Next you want to step one leg to the side and then back in and change legs.

Continue these reps for a good 30-45 seconds and then have a 30 seconds break and repeat again for another 2 or 3 times, depending on how much time you have and how it feels.

Note: To make these exercises hard, speed things up for a more challenging workout.

So now you know two effective inner thigh exercises to tone those thighs. I know lot’s of the ladies have problems with being able to tone their thighs so they should definitely follow these methods.
Quick Update: I’m giving away some free videos soon where i share some of my best fitness methods i have learnt over the years. so look out for them!

Hope you enjoyed these easy to do fast inner thigh exercises.

Judo Pushup A.K.A Hindu Pushups

Hi Richard here! Wow before we dive into some cool Judo Pushups and Hindu Pushups just got back from teaching over 400 kids at a school event. It was a great atmosphere as me and my team were doing some demonstrations and interacting with everyone. The kids we talked were great, and most of all is the energy that the children bring you is amazing.

It’s a must to give and make sure we keep our karma pot topped up always. The more you give the more you receive the laws of attraction. (But that’s a whole new post in itself!)

So one of the most common exercises you will see being done all around the world would be the standard pushup. All people who are involved in a physical combative job or physical activity will know the basic variation of the push-up.

Well today it’s a little different as I like to mix things up and keep things fresh and exciting to incorporate in your fit lifestyle.

Introducing The Judo Pushup aka Hindu Pushups

hindu pushups So with my martial art background I have learnt huge amounts of different bodyweight exercises which can literally be done anywhere and that’s the real beauty of it bodyweight exercise.

One of my personal favourite push-up variations which is is a must to bring into your arsenal of fitness routines is the judo pushup. It’s also known as the Hindu push ups style in other parts of the world but as I’m martial artist I stick to the judo pushup.

The main thing is you can call it whatever, but it brings great results if done correctly.

So the question is why are these style of push-ups so good? Well the answer is quite easy really and I could write quite a long list of benefits but I’ll keep it short and sweet.

First you don’t need any equipment, which will save you having to spend out money on fancy equipment that in the end gathers dust. (I’m sure you’re nodding your head reading this.)

Another great benefit of the judo push-up is it can be done anywhere. It doesn’t matter whether you’re outside or indoors, at home or travelling away in a hotel it can be done anywhere with little space too.

Now the beauty of the exercise is that it’s good for beginners and advanced people.

The How-To Method

First of all start off with the hands faced flat on the floor with your feet placed outwards shoulder width apart.

Next you will bend your arms down just like a regular push-up but in a moving forward motion, and once completed as far as you can go forward you then return in the same motion going backwards.

So I thought it would be easier to show you a video demonstration of some old footage where this exercise is taking place. The actual pushup will be played around the half way mark, and as you can see these old school japanese judo guy’s didn’t play around at all!

The style of training was intense, and you will hear how they have to pump up out 600 judo pushups a day!

(Pretty interesting how they used to train their bodies back then.)

The main areas which this exercise targets would be the upper body including mainly chest and triceps, but also it would really work the entire body as you are using a full range of motion rather than just up and down like a standard pushup.

So with the ladies wanting to tighten up those bingo wings as they call it this is a definite exercise for you, to get that nice tight shaped toned arms. (Not bulkly though don’t worry!)

Once you have pumped out 10 repetitions and then had a 15 second break and repeat again for three or four times you will soon start to feel the arms working hard to get the toning effect.

Hope i have given you a good insight into the judo push aka hindu pushups.

All the best

Interval Training Programme Martial Fitness Style!

So if you have been following some of my recent posts lately you will see that I have been answering some of the most common questions on how to get you in the best shape of your life, and today’s post is learning about the interval training programme.

I really want open your eyes and break down the barriers which is holding you back from succeeding what you really deserve.

This post today is a game changer. I personally discovered this method of training some years back when I was trying to take my fitness to the next level with my martial arts training and overall fitness lifestyle training.

So what am I talking about? It’s interval training programme. The difference with this style of training is that I get you to use and engage all of your muscle groups with my martial fitness style of training which in the long run will help transform your body and mind to where you want to be.

So what is Martial Fitness Interval Training Programme

Well the whole idea behind this method of training is to turn your body into a fat burning machine, and even once you have finished your workout you will continue this process of continuing to burn fat!

In basic terms it is when you train at a constant pace ‘usually high pace’ for a certain amount of time, for example 45 seconds power through the exercise of choice and then 15 seconds rest or light exercise and then start over again to repeat three times to complete a set. You then look for around three sets to complete the work out of this particular area of the body you are working on.

Why does this style of training work better than others?

Well for starters its active and fun with high impact which really gets you buzzing in the moment. Also it is saves you way more time than a regular cardio workout.

But most importantly it gets you results because you are working your body at a higher rate than you normally would doing the same old boring cardio machine workout that takes ages to complete and let’s not forget its boring which means you will not give it your all whcih means not the results you desire.

If you want to see how this method of fitness training works a great example for you to use would be checking out this post Exercises for belly fat Conditioning Workout and you will see the interval training programme method taking place.

Look out for future posts on this topic RH Martial Fitness Facebook Updates

Have a go and enjoy the benefits of an interval training programme.

Exercises For Belly Fat – 10 Minutes A Day For A Flat Stomach!

Today’s post is all about some of the best exercises for belly fat removal. So right now i’m working hard and getting everything ready for my first fitness product launch.

All of the material is complete and i have to say i’m really excited with the way it has turned out. But enough about that as you will hear more over future posts about my martial abs program.

Now you may well be shocked but all you need is around 10 minutes a day, for say 3-5 times a week to achieve a tight flat stomach for the ladies and a toned none gut for the guys out there.

Okay so below i have sorted through some of the best exercises for belly fat busting, as let’s face it, i’m sure you would agree that most people have problems losing the belly fat.

Here’s the exercises for belly fat

Slow Mo Sit Ups - Yes you read it right! This is a top notch way to stay in what i call the burn factor! The more we engage our stomach muscles the more you will get out of the exercise.

How To Guide: Lay on back with leg bent and feet flat on floor. A standard sit up position is all you need with arms across the chest to make it a little tougher. Raise upper body off ground for the first repetition and count to the 5 seconds mark from when you start lead flat to up right position. Then hold for 3 seconds and slowly move back down for 5 seconds until complete.

I guess you could call this the 13 seconds method. But just try it and see what i mean about the burn factor. (That’s where that results hide!)

Next let’s give you a crushing cardio conditioning workout…

Intervals are key for this workout. Okay so you are going to time yourself for 30 seconds jogging on the spot (with knees high and a quicker pace if you need a challenge) and then once you hit the 30 second mark you then go straight into the high jumps.

You should jump up higher than a usual jump with trying to bring your knees up as high as you can. Don’t worry at the start to much as you will get better over time just like anything you do. When you do get good at the jumps you should bring your needs right up towards your chest for explosive power.

Look to do 8-10 repetitions and then straight back to the jogging for 30 seconds. Look to repat this 3 times and have a break for 60-90 seconds and begin the routine again for the best results.

Do These Exercises for belly fat work?

Yes 100% they sure do! When combining the slow motion sit ups variation along with the blast conditioning workout i let you into, before you know it you will be become a fat burning machine.

So let’s not forget that this can easily be completed in 10 minutes or under. Everyone can do this!

Now there are lots of effective routines that work faster than others to whip you in to shape in no time, and i will be sharing more with you in future posts.

Enjoy!

P.S. Make sure you put these exercises for belly fat to action!
