Q. Marcus you guys talk about abs a lot, if I want to completely work my abs what are the exercises I should be doing can you outline the plan?
-Interesting piece on cellphones and workouts!https://breakingmuscle.com/fitness/is-your-cell-phone-ruining-your-workoutA 2016 study showed that texting and talking could negatively affect balance during everyday activities. Time spent on the phone can impact postural stability, leading to balance problems. Being on your cell phone while working out, running, or walking can throw off your posture, increasing the risk of falling or injuries.
And, if you're so focused on your phone, there's no way you're going to be able to push yourself as hard as you possibly can. Even taking just a minute or two to talk or text between sets will drop your heart rate, which means you'll burn less energy per hour than you would if you blasted through your workout in one go. The result: less effective workout, and a greater risk of injuries. Make no mistake: cell phones can make your life easier. A smartphone provides you with an easy way to listen to all your music and audiobooks, read your books, or even watch TV and movies while you work out. Many people use their phones for entertainment while on the treadmill, elliptical machine, or exercise bike. But if you're serious about doing a full-on workout—especially a resistance training workout—it may be time to unplug from your phone. Talking or texting during your workout will throw off your balance and posture and decrease the intensity of your training. You'll see less visible results from the time you spend at the gym, and you may end up spending more time training because you're taking a break to talk or text between sets.
-Thoughts on the Rona Ambrose workout!http://fitbottomedgirls.com/2017/04/the-workout-that-keeps-one-of-canadas-most-powerful-women-strong/Rona Ambrose’s WorkoutA few notes before you begin!

Q-is there a way to do a perfect burpee?https://blog.fitbit.com/burpees/n spite of its funny name (which came from its creator, physiologist Royal Burpee, in 1939), the Burpee delivers serious benefits, such as core stability, total-body strength, power, and even a cardio challenge. The move works nearly every muscle in your body and can serve as an intense, ultra-quick workout. Do Burpees for a minute and you could see the same benefits you’d get from a slower, 45-minute workout session. And since the only equipment you’ll need is your own bodyweight, you can do burpees virtually anywhere.Q stopped seeing any gains but still want to see some fat loss and muscle gain, any tips to get past a month long plateau?
