Work It Out!
Muscles Worked: Legs
Reps: Alternate legs for a count of 60 seconds
Description: Take a push-up, or plank position, on the floor: face down, with your weight on hands and feet, arms extended, hands directly below shoulders. Walk your feet forward underneath you, bringing your hips into the air. Stagger your feet, such that your left knee is bent under you, near your chest, with your right foot behind you and your right knee somewhat bent. Using a powerful leg thrust, as though you were climbing a very steep hill, switch your leg position, bringing your right knee toward your chest in a tuck, and letting your left leg reach behind you for balance. Make this a big “stride”, and try to generate enough power that both feet come off the floor as you switch your legs. Continue to alternate legs, pushing hard off the floor and bringing your knee deep under your body with each step, until you have done a full minute of mountain climbers. Try not to slow down or go smaller as you fatigue.
Front Lunges with Shoelace Tap:
Muscles Worked: Legs
Reps: 10 lunges per leg
Description: This modified lunge without weights gives your legs a great workout and improves flexibility. Stand erect with your feet hip-width apart and your arms hanging at your sides. From the starting position, step your right leg forward. As soon as your right leg is forward, begin to bend your right knee in a slight lunge and bend down toward your right foot, bringing your hands together in front of you. Reach down and touch the shoelaces of your right foot with the fingertips of both hands. After touching your shoelaces, reverse direction, stand up, and bring your right foot back to starting position.
yes, i want to look like worms are trying to escape my body. it’s fresh, it’s new, I’m in!
I think that’s called striation. It’s what happens when you’re in shape. Try it!
Actually, I think the worms happen when you don’t get enough fat in your diet. Your skin dries out and you veins pop out. I know it’s a look a lot of guys aim for (so many boys in Chelsea have ashy skin they start to think it’s normal), but it is most definitely not a sign of being “in shape!”
No way Hells – that’s not “in shape”. That pic is just gross. Even his eyebrow is bulging! (plus I think he would be considered vascular before being considered striated)
There is such a thing as being too cut, and the boy is tilting in that direction. Extreme or professional bodybuilders can be impressive, but rarely sexy – to me at least.
he’s fit so i ask waht is the alternative to that?
Oh well, I think it’s hot, each to his own, I guess. The less body fat, the better, as long it comes with muscle.
Don’t get me wrong – I think this guy is hot. It’s the ‘in-shape’ part I disagreed with. I’ve worked with some of the world’s top athletes (Kona Iron Man, Moloka`i Hoe, Surfing Triple Crown … sadly, worked with never led to played with), and this is not how any of them looked!
Haven’t looked through all eight pages of this proposed routine but as one of the world’s oldest living homosexuals, I hate working out but do it faithfully because everything I read and hear assures me “this is really good for you.” It used to be about beauty — now it’s too late for that, and it’s about health. And the social aspect, shall we say.
But hasn’t anyone else noticed that darling Andrew rah-ther casually reveals that he’s not just a smoker but a “very heavy smoker”??? Andrew darling you are too cute and valuable and smart to be doing that. Please, dear, stop it at once. It might be the hardest and and for certain will be the best thing you ever do.
Yes, Richard. Plus, quitting smoking would certainly help him put on the muscle/weight he desires, since smoking suppresses the appetite. Worked for me.
ps – smoking also leads to erectile dysfunction. I ust wish it wasn’t so damn enjoyable!
