AGAVA FITNESS

It's a long routine I put together with Victoria which is made up of exercises that can be done individually or among workout partners who may or may not be involved with each other. I have divided this routine into three major parts which are Cardio, Compound Workout and Abdominals. As expected with every couple, one partner is always stronger than the other, this was taken into account while setting up this routine. It is expected that the stronger partner takes the lead on this routine supporting and encouraging the weaker one.  CARDIO Set Up: Couple Step Workout.  Start your workout session together  with this invigorating cardio routine using a pair of steps.  Lateral Step Ups: Place steps in parallel formation with ample gap in between. Do 3 sets of 30 repetitions of lateral step ups taking short breaks in between, as low as 30 seconds or less.  Step Modified Mountain Climber: Close Gap between steps and face each other while you do a step modified mountai...

Your workout routine is not complete without a lower body workout and it doesn't get any better than my explosive lower body workout.  This routine targets your thighs,hamstrings , butt and calves. It is ideal for all body types including males and females.   It starts with a rigorous cardio that burns a minimum of 100 calories and over 200 calories in 20 minutes. It also incorporates cable workout as well as free weight oriented exercises that have been improvised for maximum results. Some of the exercises demonstrated have been borrowed from the lower body routine of top fitness model  Joshua Cummings   who happens to be my role model in fitness. Let's Begin: Start With A Stationary Bike: Set the bike for the hill program and use heavier weights. I usually go for 265 lbs but you can go for lower weights. Also go for higher levels like that of 5 or upward. Use the HIIT program for this exercise; cycling as fast as you can and resting at intervals by cycling at moder...

You might think I'd be mentioning abdominal exercises here but not a single one has been mentioned except for the mountain climber. Since most people think of crunches when they pull out a mat, abdominals have been deliberately excluded to accommodate some of the other exercises you are probably unaware of, that should work on all other body parts including the abdomen. There's no excuse anymore, you can always do these exercises at home to stay fit: The Push Up Variations: You can do the push up and it's many variations with just a mat. The pull up will build your chest, triceps and shoulders. Some of the variations include the basic push up, the diamond push up and half push up. You can do the incline or decline push up but that would require a step or box. You can learn to do the one arm push up by using a box/step too. The basic push up has been demonstrated in a tutorial video attached to this post. Please keep your abdominal locked in while at this.  Mount...

I couldn't help but over hear the cry of a fellow gym enthusiast who has been on the grind for almost a year now but hasn't seen the results he wanted. He particularly desired tricep cuts even though he had decent mass gain. This is not an isolated problem as most guys especially those of the mesomorphic build are unhappy with their muscular definition.  While I plan on putting an article up on general muscular definition, this post is focused on achieving tricep definition (cuts) which should help resolve the problem of my gym mate.  Mesomorphs and endomorphs tend to have the problem of gaining without definition because they also battle fat. Another reason why this happens has to do with the exercising technique. Hence, there are three reasons why you may not be seeing the results you want: You are a mesomorph or endomorph who is also battling fat. You are doing programs that make you gain mass fast but don't give you definition.  You are only using heavy weights. ...
