Holy crap, can you believe it’s July already?? Where the heck is the summer going? Before you know it, autumn and winter will be right around the corner and everybody will be bundling up and not in the mood to work out, preferring the comforts of holiday meals :). Anyway, while we all have the urge to be active and take advantage of the summer weather, why don’t we fire up our imaginations and our drive to succeed?

This week’s batch of inspiration focuses on something I dream of achieving myself… a flat stomach with a nice set of abs :). Now I know, abs are always the elusive nemesis of us all, but nothing is impossible right? You just have to set your mind to it and consult with abs experts. Well have no fear, the general consensus of most abs experts (i.e. trainers who actually have them) is that achieving a nice set of abs is about 80-90% based on your nutrition. For anyone serious about studying abs and how they work, I suggest you check out ABSolution by Shawn Philips.

Anyway, our first guy this week has a nice lean set of abs, nice-sized biceps and a nice lean chest. So for those of you who aspire to a nice lean swimmer’s build, maybe this is your future bod?

Our next guy’s abs aren’t incredibly defined, but definitely show off well as he leans back I could definitely see something like this on myself, what about you?

Experts say that in order to bring out the natural form our abs, we have to first get rid of the layers of belly fat that are covering them. And how do we do that? Eat a diet high in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, high quality proteins (chicken, fish, lean beef) and yes, even a touch of healthy fats. And unfortunately, it also means a lot of running or some form of cardio that will raise your metabolism and burn a shitload of calories :). So, you could be like this guy and spend a ton of time on the track

Now I know some of you may be wondering, “Oh my God, does that mean I have to give up my weight training??” Of course not! Studies have also shown that resistance training also increases metabolism, which does cause fat loss so there’s no reason to stop your workouts. Although you may want to cut back on your weight training days and replace it with a day of cardio if your main focus is to burn off the fat :). For guys like me, all I really want is to be able to lay back like this guy and see clear down to my waist with no obstructive tummy in the way

Whatever your own personal goals may be, whether it’s just to get a flat stomach, or whether it’s to develop nicely carved abs, the secret to good abs is having a good steady nutrition plan and a suitable cardio plan to shred those layers of belly fat out of the way.  And if fat-burning is your goal, experts also recommend a high-intensity-interval method of cardio training rather than going at a steady pace.  You need something that will spike up your metabolism.  Think of it this way… who has less belly fat and more muscle… Olympic swimmers or marathon runners?  The choice is up to you.. whatever makes you happy

Now if you’ll excuse me, my future abs await me

Wow, is June almost over already?  Where does the time go?  Hmmm… this is the only bad thing about being on vacation for a little bit.  Time flies by too quickly.  Before you know it, I’ll be back behind my desk dying for another break :).  Ahh well, at least this time I got to vacation during the summer while the sun is out and the boys are shirtless on the beach hehe.  Of course that also means that gym time is increasingly difficult to get since everybody and their grandmother is trying to get in shape for the beach!

So for those of you who see the value of “visualization” exercises and imagining the best possible body for yourself, this week’s batch of inspiration covers the whole spectrum: from the sexy surfer look to the hot bodybuilder in action.  Our first guy makes me want to run out and join the local Sierra Club or the local hiking group.  His body is lean with a bit of muscle on it, a perfect match for me!  Anybody else up for a hike?

Our next guy is probably not really a fire fighter, but hell… a guy like him could rescue me anytime!  As long as he gives me mouth-to-mouth afterwards hehe.  A powerful massive chest and biceps the size of melons, I’d probably faint in his arms!  Ok maybe I wouldn’t, but hell, if I did, he’d probably spend more time taking care of me heheh

Hmmm after all that heat, I think a dip in a pool somewhere is just what the doctor ordered!  For those of you who dream of the flat tight abs, how’s this example?  A perfect six pack with a tiny bit of belly hair reaching down into unchartered regions :).  And look at those upper obliques just below his chest?  HOT!

Or if  you’re like me and prefer the rush of the ocean, this kind of bod might be more what you dream to achieve.  A nice muscular chest that’s not too large, a nice lean stomach, and those lean yet muscular arms, perfect for cutting through the strong waves of the ocean.  All you’d need then is a board to hit the surf!

And after a great day in the sun, it’s always good to come back home, turn on the a/c (if I had it) and slip into a comfortable pair of briefs and just lounge around the house.  You know, only certain guys can pull off wearing square-cut briefs that hug the body like these do.  Check out that “V” line and that nice vein traveling down his biceps.  So hot…

Whatever your goals are, pick an image that fits what you want to accomplish and spend a few minutes each day imagining yourself with that body.  If it helps, print out the picture and paste a picture of your face to it and look at it every day before you head out to start your day.  The more  you concentrate on it and work on it at the gym, you’d be surprised at what you could accomplish!  The only one stopping you from achieving the ultimate “you” is after all,  you!  Go for it!

Are you a top or bottom? : http://www.helloquizzy.com/tests/the-bottom-or-top-test-test

Hey gangy! Have ya missed me? Anyway, now that I’m back in town, it’s time to get life back to normal. I hope everybody’s been doing well and enjoying a great summer! It’s the perfect time to take advantage of the sun and get out there and exercise and build up a good sweat, don’t you think? Well for this week’s batch of inspiration, I’ve included a group of guys who know how to have some good fun in the sun…compliments of SexyMuscleDudes.  There’s a whole ton of hot shots there, so check it out!

It’s one thing to play a sport in the comfort of a gym but take that game outside and it’s a whole different ball-game. Add in some sand and now you’re talking! Not only is it a workout from hell, but it’s also a lot of fun.. and who am I kidding, you get to see guys like this on the court! Guys with big solid chests, and maybe even a hot pack of abs if you’re lucky!

And you know what the best part is? After a grueling workout on the sand (yes there is more to sand than just lying in it, guys) there’s nothing better than running into the surf for a dip! And yes, you can do more than just float or splash around like a lot of those queens out there. Actually, swimming in the wide ocean is probably one of the best cardio workouts that you can get because of the currents and wave cycles working against you. And best of all, your body stays cool and refreshed! Who knows, you may run into this guy along your way. Sure he’s just trying to be sexy here… but hell, wouldn’t it be fun to show this hottie with the killer bod that you could kick his butt in the water and have a body just as hot as his, yet functional at the same time?

Ok maybe some of you are not ocean people… hmmm how about a swim in the pool then? Not some leisurely flopping around, but actually stretching your arms out with some purpose and doing some laps? Heheheh… I think my swimming sessions were harder than my runs in school! And who knows who you might meet in a pool You could always turn your workout into a little game of “cat and mouse,” don’t you think?

Anyway, the point is, use this summer weather and it’s unbearable heat to your advantage! Hit the beach or hit the water and use the sun to add that extra intensity to your workouts. However, don’t forget to keep yourself HYDRATED no matter what you do! Don’t be like some old friends of mine who thought they could handle more than they could, refusing water when it was given to them….and then passing out less than a hundred yards from the end of their run. Oh, and trust me, if you choose to swim… you still need to drink lots of fresh water. You can get dehydrated while swimming hehehe.

However, if you take care of your body and work hard at keeping it in the best of health, you’ll pull off your shirt one night while going to bed and see something like this Or maybe something like it, depending on what your goals are Best of luck to ya!

Hey gang, I’m finally home from New Zealand with M :)  Gosh what a blast it was!  Unfortunately, in order to keep my blog as anonymous as it is, all my posts about each day of our trip will be have to be password protected… Sorry guys, but only current acquaintances will be able to know the intimate details.  That’s the life I lead.  I’ll post a bunch of pics of the scenery though on Flickr so that the rest of you won’t feel completely left out
