Planche progression series

Why planche ?

Planche is full upper body strength demanding exercise. It's a isometric exercise which means that our body doesn't move & we will be fighting against gravity to put stress on the body.

Any prerequisites ?

General upper body strength is required. Specifically, Push Up is essential. So, if you want to try, practice that first. At least, one should be able to do 15 push ups in a row.


What is my plan to achieve that ?

I'm going to progress through following steps & share my experience through that,

  1.   Frog Stand
  2.   Tuck Planche
  3.   Advanced Tuck Planche
  4.   Staddled Planche
  5.   Full Planche


What i'm going to record every week ?

I'm going to share my experience about how i'm feeling, what improvements i have got, them most importantly, how much i have progressed.

How to do marathon 26.2 miles easily

Who am i ?

I'm a fitness evangelist who is practicing and coaching different forms of exercises to people. I would like to share my knowledge about marathon running which i found very easy and everyone should try atleast once in life.

How this works ?

Every individual is different and their physical anatomy is different. But, there are few things in common like how our body and mind works both isolated and coordinated manner. I believe that there are few efficient ways to accomplish everything in life. So, by following few things with respect to diet, training once could do the marathon very easily.

Procedure ?

you don't need any prior qualification to run marathon. Anyone could follow these simple steps and run marathon pretty easily.

How many months of training/practice you need ?

Use this formula and table to find how many months you need for training.

  ( Your Weight (kg) x 100 )  x Your Height (cm)

Result Number of months
00 - 25 3 Months
26 - 50 6 Months
51 - 75 9 Months
76 - 100+ 12 Months

What/How the training day looks like ?

Have one day as training day every week. i prefer Saturday or Sunday. But, it really depends when you can spare 5 to 7 hours. Have a huge breakfast with loaded carbohydrates & proteins(have same food on every training & marathon day). Then take a break for 3 hours. I use to have breakfast at 6AM & jump start my running at 9AM.

Some people say start slow & improve gradually. I would say that will take long time & on the way people get distracted or demotivated by various factors. So, follow my simple advice.

Just try to cover 26.2 miles on first day itself. There's no pressure to finish this in X hours or run all way with X speed. So, you can even walk or jog or run in mild pace. If you get injured physically(yes, i mean physically, you should be mentally strong that you can do it.), stop there & follow the same next week.

But, in my experience, even an oldma can walk this mile distance. so, anyone can do it in first few weeks if not in the first week. Follow this every week & gradually increase the time taken to complete it. Obvious way is to increase the speed of your jogging/running. you will eventually reach the point where you can do the marathon in sub 3 or sub 2 hours range.

Supplement to training ?

There's  one virtual training for marathon that i found during my experience. This is not treadmill running like most of you would guess. It is breathing. yes, the only difficult or challenging part in marathon running is breathing properly all through the phase consistently. Even, elite athletes struggles to catch up with good form of breathing.

you need to sit down in calm place & take deep breath in and out for few minutes initially. Then, carry on to do that for atleast an hour.


Conclusion

So, i hope i have shared the three important things to achieve marathon easily. Here's the key points
 - Eat same food  before running on training as well as marathon day.
 - Achieve to cover 26.2 miles from very first day of training
 - Perform breathing drill atleast once a week.

Six pack is too easy. Just follow this one simple step.


Who am i ?

Today we are going to see how to achieve six pack that everyone is dreaming off in simple step. Let me introduce myself a bit before getting into the details. I'm a fitness evangelist practicing & coaching for decades now.

How this works ?

I have given my thoughts and views about fitness in general, in many forums & public speaking arena. This fitness industry is going in wrong direction against ethical values. So, i just want to contribute as much information honestly as possible. 

Obesity has become the world's number one problem after Global warming, research suggests. I would say both are man made problems due to greediness. But, fortunately, there are some honest people like me who could enlighten people with some extraordinary efforts. I consider myself a very active, enthusiast fit dude, so, i pretty much do some type of exercise everyday from my childhood. 

So, keeping in good shape is never a problem for me. But, i have been hearing this always, 'you got a good gene from your family'. Though i hate hearing this, i just want them to prove their point is wrong. 

What i did ? 

I started picking few of my relatives and friends who are obese and were claiming that i have got good genes. So, indirectly, they were saying they got bad genes. Alright, I have chosen them to defeat them in their own battle field. I just want them to see genes has nothing to do with weight loss.

Procedure ?

First step is to fix the eating habits. I know everyone says this. But, i'm going to give the best solution to solve the issue around eating food. The number of reason for overeating is indiscipline eating routine. So, let's, start see first step before starting our weight loss regime.

Food

First choose what's your weight that you are trying to achieve. Let's say you weight 200 pounds and you want to achieve 130 pounds. Use this formula to calculate the calories you are going to eat everyday,

Calories = Body Weight(in Pounds) * 10

I know that it's very difficult to count calories. But, in reality, this is just a guidance, one needn't follow this very strictly. So, in our case, my client can have 3 meals of 400kcal & 100kcal in snacks during morning/evening snack time. 

There are many ways supermarkets helps the customers to know the calories in their products. So, its not difficult for you to buy the foods & calculate the calories yourself. So, i keep a sheet of paper with calories for all frequently eaten foods. I want to stress here that it's very important step, that makes you lose or win.

My food list is something like this,
  • 1 Small Glass of Milk - 60kcal
  • Apple                           - 50 kcal
  • Banana                         - 100 kcal
  • 1 loaf of Bread             - 70kcal
  • 1 big spoon of Rice      - 200kcal
  • 1 big spoon of Pasta     - 150kcal

Once you have this list ready with you, you are going to eat pretty much same calories everyday. So, this is not going to change until you see your desired weight or Six Pack.


Activity

Now, this is very important one should remember, your should eat food every day in disciplined manner. No skipping of meals & delaying the meal time too much. I know that practically it could be delayed by few mins, as long as you don't delay due to indiscipline, it's not a big problem.

One should try to find what activity they like the most which doesn't make them tired at all. I'm pretty sure, everyone must have one for themselves. I'm going to give some examples, so you can pick up... 
  • Motion Based Video Games
  • Dancing
  • Swimming
  • Running/Jogging
  • Cycling
  • Boxing
  • Yoga
  • Jumping Rope
  • etc
There are so many activities like this. Just do that, as much you can on Monday, Wedenesday & Friday. Now. this is also very important. Please don't get too enthusiastic & start doing all 7 days in the week.

Give it atleast 2 to 3 months depending on your current weight, you will see your six pack or slim waist in no time !

Conclusion

I'm glad that i could share my simple step in getting into supreme health fitness. I have given this information in my practical coaching to so many clients & they all have benefited. So, now, i'm trying to spread this to everyone in this internet world.
