<title>Ab Definition Comes From the Back</title>

<description><![CDATA[One thing that most people who train for improved abs do not realize is that they need to train their backs at the same time.  Without having a proper balance between abdominal and low back strength, there is a change in posture, ultimately resulting in a decreased physique, decreased oxygenation to muscles, and decreased endurance.  This means that you will spend more time in the gym, take less away from your workout, and feel more tired the next day.  Sounds terrible, right?]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Six pack ab strength training is not as hard as it looks.  Most people spend way too much time working on areas that will never lead them towards the six pack that they've always wanted.  Instead, if you were to focus on your metabolism, with a slight bias towards ab strengthening, you would be able to decrease your body fat, improve your stamina, eat more (not less), and get in and out of the gym faster.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Health and fitness workouts are vastly different from fat loss workouts.  A fat loss workout requires alternating intensities, extremely high heart rates, and maximal exertion for best results.  Health and fitness workouts, on the other hand, require increased endurance, decreased rest periods, and increased reliance on a steady cardiovascular demand throughout a workout.  By understanding the difference between a health and fitness workout versus a fat loss workout, you will be able to improve your results in the gym ten fold.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Tight hamstrings are very common among golfers, and they are very avoidable.  Most golfers attempt to relieve hamstring tension by performing quick stretches (i.e. less than 10 seconds with only a brief pause at the area of greatest restriction.)  In reality, it is not the amount of 'flexibility' a golfer has that determines his/her ability to swing smoothly, but it is the amount of 'mobility' instead.]]></description>
