Upper Back: Hips Up

This stretch is great for opening a tight upper back. The key is to keep your chin tucked into your chest as you roll your head forward.You might want to place a cushion or folded towel under your knees to make this position more comfortable. Be sure to roll forward slowly to keep balance and form.

  1. Kneel with your knees about hip-width apart. Tuck your toes under and take hold of your heels. Tuck your chin into your chest and slowly lower your head toward the floor.
  2. Push your hips upward as you curl your body forward and touch the crown of your head to the floor. Roll your head under, gently stretching your upper back. Hold for 2 breath cycles, then slowly roll back up.

RAIN: Ninja Assassin Workout

Rain’s Workout Approach Rain did type of workout called "circuit training," similar to what the actors in 300 did. You don't need much equipment to do this type of workout.

The Gunman Workout - Sean Penn Transformation

He might be 54, but his newly muscular torso in The Gunman movie is unbelievable. Penn plays sniper Jim Terrier, a mercenary assassin forced into hiding when the target sights are honed on him by a Congo hit squad. To convincingly portray a trained killer, Penn used a combination of compound, functional weight training moves to pack on lean muscle without compromising agility, and armed himself with the lethal hand-to-hand combat skills of krav maga. Below, fitness expert Niko Algieri has devised the workout that would get you into Jim Terrier’s enviable shape. The Gunman workout ‘The first thing that’s evident in the film is Penn’s perfectly proportioned and balanced physique,’ says Algieri. ‘But it isn’t all for show. He’s mobile as well as powerful. For that Penn would have used military-style, full-body functional training, starting workouts with compound moves and focusing on building muscle with body part splits later in the session. This Gunman workout will help you mov...

Fat Loss, here the tips

feature by : nextteenamateur@bodybuilding.com Diet The diet that is used on a fat loss program is the ultimate determining factor on whether or not you will lose the weight. All the running in the world won't do a thing if you are taking in excess calories (especially from the wrong sources such as sugars). Your diet when trying to lose fat should have you eating around 500 calories below maintenance per day.

By cycling your carbs, your body gets the nutrients it needs on your strenuous workout days, and you don't consume unnecessary carbs on your easier,...
