Controversial Method To Use Your iPad 3 For Weight Loss! (NSFW)

2012-03-20T19:43:00.001+08:00

Apple has recently launched 'The New iPad'!

So did you get it? How did you find it? I got one from my uncle, and found it to be pretty amazing! And this is coming from someone who has never supported any Apple products or services before whatsoever.

Anyway, here is the question you must be having in your mind. How on earth can my iPad 3 help me lose weight? Sounds ridiculous?

I am sure you have known, after reading my other blog posts, that testosterone (known also as male hormones) levels can directly affect muscle growth and body fat percentage levels! You can increase testosterone levels and reduce weight through weight lifting.

But in this post, I am going to reveal to you, a very controversial method to increase your T-levels.

Warning: Not Safe For Work...

This article/blog post is mainly targeted at guys, but girls if you are interested, then you can read on too!

Pornography. Yes that is right. Watching porn raises your T-levels by a crazy amount and actually gets you into an optimum muscle building, fat losing state. (Disclaimer: I am not encouraging you to get addicted to porn, in fact, politically speaking, I should be asking you to look at 'erotic' images or videos instead of porn)

Erotic scenes and images will also stimulate and increase your T-levels!

Your iPad 3 has such a huge screen with such a fantastic '2048-by-1536-pixel resolution at 264 pixels per inch (ppi)', as quoted from Apple's online homepage. Watching erotic images and videos on your iPad 3 will definitely be a unique experience and raise your T-levels and fat burning metabolism levels at the same time!

Now I know I will get much flake for such a controversial method, but hey! That's me, Alvin your weight loss guru, I only post stuff that works ;)

Reduce Weight - Through Weight Lifting!

2012-03-19T21:08:00.000+08:00

It may sound ridiculous to hear the advice that weight lifting helps you lose fat. I mean you probably think how crazy I am to make such an incredulous claim when everyone else on the Internet has never mentioned this before! Yes, that's right, and I am still Alvin, Your Weight Loss Guru.

Why do I say that weight lifting helps you reduce weight? Heavy weight lifting actually requires huge amounts of physical efforts on your part and will stimulate many different muscles and muscle groups throughout your entire body.

<Sidetrack: When I mention weight lifting, I am referring to compound exercises like chest/bench press, squats, pull ups and so on, and I am NOT referring to isolated exercises like bicep curls, hamstring curls and so on. There is a huge difference here, although both are considered weight lifting.>

Testosterones, otherwise known as male hormones, are released in the body when there is heavy stimulus to the muscles. This testosterones not only increases your ability to gain muscles, but it also cuts body fat percentage! Ladies need not worry, females naturally produce less testosterones so you will not look bulky and like a guy if you were to weight lift, unless you were to over do it. (But 90% of women won't)

Therefore, if you were to incorporate weight lifting into your weight loss regimen, you will find that to lose fat is an easy task.

If you want to have a weight loss program all planned out step by step for you so that you can simply follow the steps and lose weight steadily, you should check out my customized fat loss review, my review of an internationally best selling weight loss program!

Pistachios - A Great Food To Eat To Lose Weight!

2012-03-16T11:00:00.003+08:00

There are people out there who think pistachios are 'fattening' (maybe even you). However, even though it has lots of healthy fats, pistachios will actually aid you in losing stomach fat!

Remember that pistachios used to be dyed a deep red/pink? They were definitely tasty but after eating a bunch of them, your fingers will be stained red/pink.

As we now know it, pistachios are not actually magenta coloured, but instead are naturally in a tan coloured shell, with a green/yellowish interior. Nuts are getting more popular with diets for weight loss, but did you know that pistachios are one of the most nutritious of them all??

Walnuts, almonds have high nutritional benefits, but pistachios are BETTER! A simple one-ounce serving of them will provide you with more than 30 minerals, super nutrients and vitamins! Just one-ounce!! (That being said, don't take 1kg of them right now, keep everything in moderation)

One great thing about nuts is that they are full to the brim of vital minerals! If you paid attention to nutrition news recently, you should be aware that it is getting harder to obtain minerals from our diet. Resulting in majority of the population being mineral-deficient.

So what are some of these great minerals and nutrients in pistachios?
Copper! Copper consists of multiple enzymes which help in creating many important biochemical reactions in the human body and also serve to form connective tissue.

Phosphorus! This is extremely crucial for strong and healthy teeth and bones, and works with calcium, preventing osteoporosis.

Magnesium! Required for over 280 different important biochemical reactions in the human body. Additionally, it is also good for maintaining your blood pressure.

Manganese! It helps form connective tissue(like copper). It also helps form skeletal tissue and is important for reproduction, growth and fat and carbohydrate metabolism.(<-- Raises your metabolism!)

Fiber! Pistachios are full of fiber, which helps control blood sugar levels, fighting cancer, and also gives you a feeling of 'fullness'. This 'fullness' feeling will help you curb your appetite, reducing your hunger and thus the amount of calories you consume --> great for weight loss, the safe way.

Special Exercise For A Flat Stomach - Can Be Done Anywhere!

2012-03-09T13:42:00.002+08:00

This exercise may not help increase your metabolism for maximal fat burning, but it does aid in getting a flat stomach by strengthening your transversus abdominis muscles, and these muscles help 'pull in' a fat belly.

This exercise is called 'abs vacuums'.

I find it a really convenient exercise to do, and best of all, it can be done anywhere you wish, without looking like a retard. (Just imagine doing crunches in buses). Just a tip, it is easier for me to remember doing them if I do them everyday at either a specific time or when I am doing a specific action, such as when driving or travelling.

So how do you perform this great exercise for a flat stomach?

You imagine that you are trying to let your belly button touch your spine by 'pulling in' your stomach as far as you can. Hold this position for around 20 seconds each time. First, you inhale deeply, then when exhaling, do the above motion while taking small breaths here and there. Repeat this entire motion for several times. Try to make it a habit by performing this for a minimum of 4 days a week.

As previously mentioned, 'abs vacuum' does not increase your fat burning hormones and metabolism, it only serves to flatten a big stomach.

If you desire a real set of 'six pack abs', you are still required to burn off the body fat, and you need a full weight loss program catered to your specific needs, along with the right, positive mindset.

Lose Tummy Fat Now Or Else...

2012-03-02T12:00:00.007+08:00

Are you aware that many people have too much abdominal fat? Usually the first thought that springs up in people's minds when talking about tummy fat, is the embarrassment at showing others your body, since excess stomach fat looks pretty bad.

What majority of the population do not know is that too much abdominal fat, can also pose a risk to your health! Scientists have proven that excess fat, especially in the abdomen area, is particularly unhealthy.

There are basically two types of fats in tummy fats. Firstly, there is one which lies in front of your six packs, preventing them from becoming visible which is known as subcutaneous fat.

The second kind is visceral fat, and it lies underneath your 'six pack' muscles and wraps around your organs. This second type of fat is the main culprit for giving you(if applicable) that beer belly look. It is also kind of hard to the touch.

Both poses a risk to your health, but it is visceral fat which is more dangerous, because it releases more inflammatory molecules into your body. However, both increases your risk to heart diseases, diabetes, high blood pressure, even cancer! Do yourself and your loved ones a favour! Make losing stomach fat a top priority! Also, by getting rid of the excess stomach fats, you not only reduce your health risk danger, you also get to flaunt your new-found sexy six pack abs!

What then, is the answer to losing stomach fat? Is there a solution which actually WORKS? Is there???

Firstly, you should realize there is no get skinny quick solution. I strongly urge you to stay away from supplements or pills. You also cannot spot reduce your tummy fat.

The best way to go about losing stomach fat is to combine a well designed exercise program with a good diet filled with natural, organic foods. Diet and exercise are the two super important factors when it comes to losing weight quickly.(not overnight)

Diet on its own does help you to lose weight. Exercise alone does too. But when combined together, you get a multiplier effect! If you do it correctly, you will lose weight faster than all of your friends! Now, I really want you to start losing weight the right way, so that you can shed fat quickly and effectively, so that you can get rid of these health risks, and you can show off your sexy body!

An important thing to note now is that not every Tom, Dick and Harry's exercise program will work for you. You need to realize that everybody's body type is different, so the techniques and diet you need will be different. A program which applies the same theories to everybody will not work half as effectively as one that applies a customized one, if at all. Anyway, I've been searching for such a customized weight loss program, and found one unique in the sense that it actually gives you a fully customized workout plan.

Lose Weight Diet - Do You Know Your Carbohydrates?

2012-02-24T11:00:00.002+08:00

The topic of good versus bad carbohydrates are usually confusing to most people. I want to clear up the mystery once and for all.

First of all, though I don't support extremely low carbohydrates as part of a lose weight diet, I believe one of the main reasons many people find it difficult to lose weight is due to the over-consumption of processed carbohydrates like bread and pasta.(including sodas and candies) Even when your exercise intensity is very high, you will still find it hard to lose weight if you over-consume any of such processed carbohydrates. In addition, over-eating carbohydrates will also increase your overall appetite! And I am sure you know what that means!

Even for carbohydrates which majority of the population believe are 'healthy' are simply extra calories not consisting of any significant nutrients. Many foods, especially breads, claim to be 'whole grain', yet in reality, the main ingredient in it is refined flour, which will actually increase you blood sugar and cause a surge in insulin! Bad bad!

My take is that people who are still finding solutions to 'how can I lose weight' on Google and really desperate to lose weight should follow the following guidelines.

1. Try getting most of your daily carbohydrates intake from vegetables, sweet potatoes, fruits(not fruit juices), instead of grains.

2. Since you are used to taking in large quantities of bread, pasta and rice, fill in the 'void'/'hunger' with extra healthy fats such as nuts, seeds, avocados! Healthy proteins from grass fed meats and organic eggs are fantastic too. These sources of foods help you to control your appetite, maintains healthy hormone and blood sugar levels.

3. If you must eat grains, consume the healthiest part of the grain, the germ and the bran. Apply this by eating wheat germ, oat bran and rice bran instead.

4. Otherwise, reduce the percentage of grains in your diet, and look instead into grass fed dairy, meat, organic egg, and vegetables instead. These are way healthier, and should be your choice if you are really serious about weight loss.

Everybody's body type and composition is different, when losing weight, you should be looking at a customized weight loss program instead.

Top 5 Non-Traditional Fun Weight Loss Exercises

2012-02-17T23:37:00.003+08:00

Literally everyone out there on the Internet only tells you about some weight loss exercises or exercises for abs which are not only common but also boring as hell. Don't you feel that training should be FUN?

In fact, this is one of the main difference between people who work out a few times each year and laze around the rest of the year versus people who adopt a fit lifestyle and achieve the dream body. If exercises you perform are fun, and you treat fitness as important, you will get your dream body too before you know it.

There are many non-traditional and fun weight loss exercises out there, you have got NO reason to get bored with your trainings and give up on your dream ideal body. I believe that one of the most effective way to get a lean body is through weight training routine using eg. kettlebells, dumbbells and barbells. Try some of these non-traditional fun weight loss exercises and you will never be bored again with exercising, in fact, you will soon start to love exercising and get your dream body before you know it!

1. Staircase Workouts - A great alternative workout since you can find stairs literally everywhere. A football stadium has one. A building has one. For an even better entire body workout session, mix stair sprints with push ups or pullups. If done with a sufficiently high intensity, staircase workouts help increase your metabolism and fat burning hormonal response.

2. Bodyweight Workouts - Without even going to the gym, you can perform workouts at home with just your bodyweight! When done with short rest, you will be really ramping up the intensity level of the workouts and it can all be completed within 30 minutes! You will be making use of push ups, dips, exercises for abs, pull ups and many more such exercises. I personally have been only making use of bodyweight exercises for my workouts for the past half year, and I look the same like how I did when I went to the gym! Proves that bodyweight exercises are equally effective as gym workouts if you do it the right way.

3. Swimming - A fantastic full body exercise which is a great cardiovascular exercise. Additionally, it does not strain your knees and legs as much as jogging does. I have this leg injury, and since I cannot run, I go swimming! And it feels more fun too, you should try it more often! Do pair up swimming with other exercises though, since swimming is still more of a cardiovascular exercise only.

4. Rock Climbing - Challenging and fun exercise or hobby. It works out your upper body like crazy, and you also get to stimulate your mind somewhat by thinking of how to get to the next highest grip. There is also indoor rock climbing gyms nowadays, and so the weather is no longer a factor! Give it a shot, it is really fun, and may get you started into an active, healthy lifestyle... And one step closer to your dream body.

5. Rope Skipping - A really fun and entertaining exercise which can be treated as a hobby. So long as your legs are injury free, rope skipping is a very fun exercise. This is more of a cardiovascular exercise or warm-up exercise. If you get the hang of it, you will love it. You only need to perform it for approximately 20 minutes a day, and you will soon start seeing results so long as you combine it with other weight loss techniques.

Diet To Lose Weight - The Skinny On Egg Yolks

2012-02-10T18:30:00.002+08:00

I went on a trip with my friends just a few weekends ago, and noticed one of them preparing breakfast. I walked over to see what we were going to have for breakfast and noticed he was preparing to cook a big batch of eggs.

Then I noticed something shocking. He was cracking the eggs and throwing away all the egg yolks! I quickly asked why he was tossing the egg yolks away and he told me, "That's because they are high in fat and bad cholesterol!"

To that, I retorted, "You doofus! That is where all the nutrients are in eggs!!!"

And, the above is the perfect example of how ignorant most people are about diets and nutrition. Somehow, many people think that egg yolk is the unhealthiest part of the egg, when in contrary, it is actually the best! The yolks contain many vitamins, lutein, choline, and many other nutrients. Therefore, by throwing egg yolks away, my friend basically threw all these nutrients away!

Actually, egg whites contain much less nutrition compared to yolks. Yolks are full of healthy omega-3 fatty acids and basically also contains nearly 90% of all the nutrients in the entire egg!

I know what you are thinking. "Whole eggs will make my cholesterol levels hit the sky faster than I finish saying this sentence!"

First of all, that is false. When you consume a food with high levels of dietary cholesterol, your internal bodily production of cholesterol is reduced. Here's an even more interesting piece of news. There are studies showing that eating whole eggs as opposed to only egg whites increases good cholesterol to a greater extent. Also high cholesterol by itself is not considered a disease. (Heart problems are though.) It is an important element in your body and you are only harming yourself by purposefully reducing your cholesterol.

Additionally, egg yolks contain many antioxidants helping protect you from inflammation.(Another good reason to eat whole eggs).

I wish you now understand that whole eggs are not 'evil' but are instead more 'wholesome' and beneficial for your body than simply egg whites.

"How about the excess calories in egg yolks?"

Even though eating whole eggs naturally mean taking more calories than just egg whites on their own, egg yolks are so dense in nutrients, it increases the level of nutrients per calorie you take in. It also helps suppress your appetite for rest of the day and the healthy fats from the yolks aid in maintaining a great level of fat-burning hormones! This means - burning off MORE body fat!

Take note though, that you should choose to consume organic free range eggs, born from chickens who consume more natural foods and are allowed to run around freely rather than those cooped up in a small cage. Deep orange coloured egg yolks represent way higher nutrient levels opposed to those eggs with pale yellow yolks. Guess what, those deep orange coloured egg yolks do not come from chickens cooped up in small cages! Those 'free-roaming' chickens get more nutrients since they eat all kinds of 'natural foods' for them such as insects, worms rather than just soy and corn only.

*Sidenote - did you think our ancestors only ate the egg whites? No way! It is today's society which has been brainwashed with wrong information about egg yolks*

Conclusion? Take your whole eggs, and enjoy them without worrying about cholesterol and fat!

How To Lose Tummy Fat - 2 Important Secrets

2012-02-03T18:52:00.002+08:00

Are you struggling to lose tummy fat? I'm sure you have tried all ways and means to reduce weight and lose that stubborn stomach fat, but it still stays there day after day, month after month, silently laughing at you! I am also pretty confident that you see many advertisements claiming that losing stomach fat is possible with their magical pill or supplement. How about many of the fake infomercials putting out claims that you can lose your stomach fat in a few days simply by wrapping some 'belt' around your waist? Or even rubbing some special fat loss oil on your stomach?

Come on! I wish you feel insulted by all these marketing scams and claims that losing stomach fat can happen overnight. As with other things in life, there is no shortcut. Those people you see with great bodies did not achieve them overnight. They find out the correct method on how to lose tummy fat, put in hard work and work even harder to keep the fat off! So let us see what the 2 important secrets for losing stomach fat really is.

1) The first and foremost important secret is the structuring of the workouts. To cause maximal fat loss from the stomach, stop wasting time with doing thousands of repetitions of direct exercises for abs. You are not only going to bore yourself, but you may experience repetitive motion injury.

I hope you understand by now that spot reduction is only a myth. You do not lose belly fat by performing direct exercises for abs.

Do not misunderstand me either. An healthy amount of exercises for abs is ideal and helps you strengthen your core and your back. But they should only be but a small part of your weight loss plans. The majority of the time should be spent on multi-joint, compound exercises.

That is very important in helping yourself get rid of that stubborn belly fat. Doing heavy compound exercises instead increases your metabolism greatly during the workout itself and up to 2 days after the exercises, stimulating a huge jump in fat-burning hormones! This does not happen with direct exercises for abs only.

If you are serious about losing stomach fat, do some heavy compound exercises like chest press, pullups, done with weights of even bodyweight alone! These also needs to be done at a high enough intensity, meaning no frequent 5 minutes of chit chatting with people at the gym. You need to have some intensity and focus if you really want to lose that stomach fat! Anyone who tells you otherwise, is simply lying to you. Simple as that.

2) The second secret is your nutrition. You need to understand that 'diets' are actually detrimental to your weight loss plans if you do not know how to identify a good or a bad one. If you follow a very strict diet, it will become very hard to suppress your food cravings!

Also if you were to go into a diet which wants you to maintain a low carb, low protein, or a similar diet, you will mess up processes which are related to your hormonal balance, and this will actually instead hinder your weight loss plans! That is not the way to losing stomach fat.

It is crucial not to fall for any of the 'lose weight quickly in 3 days' fads and understand that a balanced diet and correct exercises are essential and the only truth to achieving your fat loss goals.

I can go on forever with many more strategies for losing stomach fat quickly and naturally, but this article can only go on for so long, so see below for a quick presentation on fat loss: Customized Fat Loss

What If You Need To Gain Weight Instead?

2012-01-30T20:49:00.000+08:00

What if you have the exact opposite problems compared to other people? What if you needed to gain weight instead of losing weight??

Very simple, you will still need to take around 5 to 6 small meals a day. You will distribute your carbohydrate, protein and fat quantity more equally as opposed to a weight loss diet. You will be taking in approximately 50% carbohydrates, 40% protein and 10% fat for your diet. You will still have to eat 'healthy' foods, and not make up your calories with junk food like fried chicken or coke or crackers.

Still eat good whole meals, but in the above proportions instead. Also because you're trying to gain weight, your calorie intake need to be greater than your calorie output. So simply put, whether you're trying to become 'fatter' or 'muscular', you will need to eat more if you're not gaining weight. Simple as that. Diet is the most important part in gaining weight, if you are not eating enough, there is simply no way you can gain weight. A tip to make this work is to treat eating as a hobby, a job, something you MUST ABSOLUTELY do and keep at the front of your mind every single day. That way you'll find gaining weight easy.

You will also need to cut down on cardio activities. In fact I suggest when 'bulking up' to not engage on any such cardio exercises at all. That way you can see fastest results.

3 Tips On How To Lose Weight - Look What You Eat!

2012-01-27T20:19:00.003+08:00

If your goal is to reduce weight, taking in healthy foods to lose weight should be your number one priority. Exercise may be important, but diet is even more so when you are talking about weight loss management. Hopefully, this article will shed some light on some great simple ways for you to start eating healthy foods to lose weight daily.

1) Take a quality protein source along with every meal. Quality protein sources can be found from nuts, beans, grass-fed meats and even raw dairy.

Getting sufficient high quality protein sources will also aid you in gaining muscle so that your metabolism will also increase due to the greater amount of lean muscle mass on your body.

Eating enough protein will also help slowdown the breakdown of carbohydrates you take in, and thereby helping your body control insulin and blood sugar levels.

2. Include healthy fats in as many meals as possible too! Fats may not be good, but taking in sufficient healthy fats is crucial for maintaining a higher metabolism. It also helps keep appetite under control.

Best sources of such healthy fats will be avocados, extra virgin olive oil, grass-fed meats, raw nuts and many more!

Try out this useful tip - Pick up a handful of raw nuts (almonds, walnuts...) thrice daily just half an hour before meals. This not only helps to control your raging appetite but also serves to provide your body with some healthy fats, high quality protein and fiber! Better nutrition, less calories, what more can you ask for? ;)

Although low carbohydrates diets taken to the extreme is not recommended, I am pretty sure one of the main reasons many individuals fail to lose weight is due to over eating of processed carbohydrates.

When people reduce their carbohydrates consumption(from pasta, bread...), they lose body fat way faster! What I will suggest to you is to focus carbohydrates intake from fruits and vegetables. This will fast forward your weight loss goals.

Do make use of these 3 tips on how to lose weight and you will start seeing a slimmer body before you know it!

New Year Resolution! Have You Broken Yours Already?

2012-01-24T14:47:00.000+08:00

I sure hope not! Well if you have, you have to stop right now, and finish reading this blog post.

Regardless of what your new year resolutions are, be it losing 10 pounds in 2 weeks or even losing 100 pounds in a few months, you need the same amount of determination.

It does not mean that since your goals are easier to achieve, therefore you use less effort to go about it. There are many ways in which you can stick to your resolutions better.

First you will need to ask yourself whether you are even serious about your resolutions. You have to be sure of yourself, before you can ever win a prize. If you are not even resolute about your resolutions, you can forget about keeping to them. In fact, if you are not sure, you will be questioning about whether you should even stick to your plans and goals! If you are not even sure whether you really want to lose weight and whether you are willing to achieve it by all ways and means, you have already lost the battle against the bulge!

Secondly, if you are sure about your goals and are determined to get it, you will still inevitably lose focus along the way. This is where you need to visualize again and again your end goal and imagine yourself looking that good, and how good you will feel then. The immersion of yourself in those emotions will actually get you more focused and more determined to reach there as time goes by.

Lastly, you need a good weight loss exercise regime and a good diet for weight loss. Check out my posts on diet for weight loss and exercises on how to build abs.

Fast Food And Weight Loss: Do They Blend?

I went out with a couple of good friends just a while ago, and we happened to walk by a fast food restaurant, and they all wanted to go in there. I usually hate fast food restaurants but sometimes you simply try to find something healthier. If you have no choice but to eat at a fast food joint, always avoid the coke, sprite, soda and any food which is deep fried such as hash browns. These are full of trans fats.

There are studies showing that even one gram of trans fat daily is capable of causing disastrous degenerative effects on your body, such as for example heart disease, clogging of arteries, and also adding to your stomach fat! And that is only with one gram. Realize that a fast food meal can contain up till 10 grams of trans fat! Imagine how harmful that will be. You need to understand that nobody, other than yourself, is keeping a lookout for your health. So you need to watch what you eat.

Choose water if possible, but if you prefer something else, try to go for lightly sweetened, or better still, unsweetened iced tea. During breakfast, choose eggs, ham and cheese and other such healthy foods to lose weight. For lunch or dinner, ideally you should be looking at choices like grilled chicken burgers, salads and as such. (No croutons please!) If you were to only remember one thing from this article, just remember to avoid fries, sodas and any such deep fried foods.

Okay, so the next time you were to have your meals at fast food restaurants, remember the above tips and make wise food choices!

How To Build Abs - 3 Best Exercise For Abs

2012-01-13T10:29:00.002+08:00

Today, I am going to share you with great options for high intensity workouts allowing you to work out your whole body (including your abdominal).

Here is a sample of one of my favourite and also very best exercises for abs which does not consist of any direct abdominal exercises. It is done in a similar way to a super-set however you will alternate the order of the three exercises as below.

- Front squats with barbell
- Renegade dumbbell rows
- Mountain climbers on floor

Do this for around three to four sets of eight repetitions for each exercise mentioned. If you prefer something else, you can do more sets, but less repetitions for each exercise, for example five sets of five repetitions. For exercises like mountain climbers, you should perform it for a certain time period (eg 40 seconds) instead of repetitions.

Front squats are essentially pretty much the same as back squats, with the only exception being that the barbell will be held on the front part of your shoulders (front of your body) rather than on the upper back as for back squats. Stabilize the barbell by having both of your arms crossed and your fists pushed into the barbell against your shoulders, all this done while maintaining your elbows in front of you. Get a spotter and use a lighter weight at first so as to get a feel for the proper form, to reduce possibilities of injuries. Since the weight is now shifted to the front of the body for front squats, your abs will be forced to stabilize yourself and the weight, resulting in you also targeting the stomach muscles heavily even though it it mainly a leg exercise. Girls can perform this exercise too, so long as you do not consume huge amounts of protein and calories, you will still remain slim, but with a sexier stomach!

Renegade dumbbell rows are performed by first assuming a push up position. However, you will place your hands on 2 dumbbells now instead. Follow how Rain Bi does the exercise @1:42 of the video.

For mountain climbers, get into a pushup position first too. You will then proceed to 'shuffle' your feet such that your knees will now reach under you chest and then stretch back out to the original position. It is called mountain climbers since its action is similar to climbing a mountain, the main difference being that you are flat on the floor. If it gets too easy for you, you can try a more advanced version by shuffling your hands forwards and backwards too.
