Flat Abs Fitness Training

New York, NY (PRWEB) February 1, 2006

The blockbuster New York Times bestseller, THE ABS DIET is now available on audio CD. Exercise photo gallery and meal plans on enhanced CD.

Abs — they?re the contemporary badge of fitness; the ultimate predictor of a person?s health; the one part of the body that boosts sex appeal in both men and women; and, they?re not just for athletes, bodybuilders, models, or the Governor of California anymore! You could spend (or may have already spent) years searching for those elusive stomach muscles, moving from one failed weight-loss attempt to the next. Or, you could follow David Zinczenko?s proven plan which has already helped thousands achieve a lean waistline in record time.

In THE ABS DIET: The Six-Week Plan to Flatten your Stomach and Keep You Lean for Life (Gildan Audio; 4 CDs/approx. 4 hours; January 2006; $ 19.98 US; $ 26.98 Canada), Zinczenko details how you can strip away up to 20 pounds of fat from your body (starting with your belly) and gain abs, muscle tone, better health, and a great sex life ? significantly changing the shape of your body in the process. And, because study after study shows that people with the largest waist sizes are at the most risk for such killers as heart disease and diabetes, this breakthrough plan will do something more than enhance your life; it?s going to help save it.

As the editor in chief of Men?s Health magazine, David Zinczenko analyzes health and fitness information the way brokers analyze the market. In THE ABS DIET, he draws on that knowledge to outline a sensible, sacrifice-free program for losing your gut and packing on muscle. Using the most cutting-edge nutrition and exercise research, it is designed to help you lose weight in the easiest possible ways: by recalibrating your body?s internal fat-burning furnace, focusing on the foods that trigger your body to start shedding flab, and rebuilding you into a lean, mean, fat-burning machine.

THE ABS DIET revolves around ? but doesn?t restrict you to ? 12 ?Powerfoods? that are among the best sources for protein, fiber, and all the other ingredients that help fight fat by boosting your body?s metabolism. By constantly keeping your body?s natural calorie-burning fires stoked ? three meals and three snacks a day ? with lots and lots of the right foods, you?ll soon be burning additional calories 24/7. Imagine that: Every time you eat, you help your body lose weight and turn flab into abs!

THE ABS DIET also includes a convenient exercise plan that doesn?t kick-in until the third week of the program. This simple, 20-minute workout, based on strength and interval training performed three times a week, maximizes weight loss, helps burn fat long after you?ve left the gym, and builds lean muscle tissue. The more lean muscle mass you have, the more energy it takes to fuel it ? meaning that calories go to sustaining your muscles rather than converting to an inner tube of fat around your middle. It?s amazing: For every pound of muscle you gain, your resting metabolic rate goes up as much as 50 calories a day.

Did you already wonder how you could improve your performance without having to go to the gym or run for miles and miles everyday? On court fitness training is one of the best training method that can help you to improve the specific skills of your activity. To describe more in details this kind of training we will talk about on court fitness training for tennis players.

On court fitness training includes all the different practices that are done on a tennis court. Most on the time on court fitness training is done to improve the agility, quickness and specific movements of the players. Training on the tennis court helps the players to be really specific and to understand exactly how these drills could help them to become better tennis players.

There are so many different kind of practice you can run on court to increase a player fitness level that you can just use your imagination and make sure that the drills you are implementing are tennis specific.

First of all use tennis racquets in most of the case to add some specificity. You can start by doing the drill without any tennis balls. Run to a cone as if you were going to hit a forehand or a backhand, shadow the stroke and come back to the starting point. When you do these kinds of specific movements, make sure that you are using an explosive first step that you are balanced all the time and use proper technique when you recover like using a cross over step and the side steps.

This basic drill can be used for all the strokes, included the volleys and overheads. Repeat several sets of 10 repetitions for each stroke. Make sure your player or your self is really using the right technique in his footwork and that he is as intense and fast as he can.

This will help to improve the explosive power and quickness very fast.

For more advanced players you can start to add resistance as bunjie cords behind the players. Repeat different kind of movements, focusing on the right technique and the resistance will help to become even more explosive on the court.

Once the players are able to do this drills with the right footwork, do not forget first step and recovery steps are two keys for tennis players, you can start to add live balls that you feed at the same spot every time..

This can be done with or without resistance. The player focus on his movements and the fact that he now has to hit a tennis ball will add even more specificity.

Once the player is able to use the proper technique and to be quick during this kind of drills with live balls, he will move a lot better and be a lot quicker during real match situations.

Another great workout that I like to use as on court fitness training is medicine ball rallies. Have two players playing point in the service boxes with a 4 to 8 lbs medicine ball. Make sure this medicine ball bounce and make them play different tie breakers, using forehand and backhand throws. This will of course help them to improve their upper body power but also their footwork and balance on the court.

You can also improve their aerobic capacity with on court fitness training, while moving for the length of a point, usually less than 10 seconds, and recovering between each set for 25 seconds. Those ratios are specific for tennis and if you do this for at least 20 minutes it is a good way to improve your players specific endurance.

On court fitness training is the best practice you can do to improve a tennis player specific conditioning. There a lot of different drills that you could use. Visit www.fit4tennis.ws if you want to learn more about on court fitness training for tennis.
