			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Stomach flabby people can tighten their abs and lose weight by jumping rope like professional boxers.</p>
<p>Yes, this simple 3 minute workout can burn away your flabby stomach and many other flabby parts of your body easily.</p>
<p>Jumping rope for 1 minute followed by a 1 minute rest creates a High Intensity Interval Training. This routine increases the HGH hormone that burns fat like crazy.</p>
<p>It has been proven that jumping rope is one of the best high intensity interval training workouts available.. The fat inside your stomach will begin to burn and you will feel a tightening in your abdominal muscles.</p>
<p>I discovered this over 30 years ago when I was a young beginner amateur boxer. I always carried a little pot belly even though I was only a lightweight at the time.</p>
<p>Everyday I did crunches, sit ups and squats hoping to tighten my stomach and lose my gut.</p>
<p>But nothing happened. I still had my little pot belly no matter how many crunches, squats or sit-ups I did.</p>
<p>Then my boxing coach showed me how to use the jump rope to work my ads.</p>
<p>I remember I was fairly new to boxing at that time and didn&#8217;t know how to really jump rope effectively. But with my coach&#8217;s help I got the hang of it in no time.</p>
<p>After several 2 minute rounds I could feel the burn in my belly that I hadn&#8217;t felt when doing crunches or sit-ups.</p>
<p>I knew I was on to a special exercise that would lose my flabby stomach and would also be fun.</p>
<p>That was 38 years ago.</p>
<p>Now at the age of 54, I still enjoy this great exercise. I don&#8217;t jump daily anymore like I used to do. All I need is a three day a week workout to stay trim and fit.</p>
<p>If you are looking to flatten your stomach with a easy and inexpensive workout learn to workout like the pros do and prepared to be amazed.</p>
<p>Boxers have used jumping rope for years to build that athletic muscular look and replace their flabby fat abs into muscle.</p>

<p>There are two popular schools of thought when it comes to the  order your should perform resistance exercises. The first technique is called  pre-exhaustion, which involves exercising the same muscle or muscle  group to the point of muscular failure using a single-joint exercise  immediately before a multi-joint exercise (e.g., peck-deck followed by  chest press).</p>
<p>Alternatively, the priority system prescribes that  complex exercises should be performed first in a training session (i.e.,  chest press before peck-deck).</p>
<p>In order to assess whether either  technique is better, a study was performed on men in their mid-twenties  with recreational weight-training experience. Researchers compared  upper-body muscle activation, total repetitions, and total work during  each technique.</p>
<p>The men performed one set of pre-exhaustion and  one set of priority system in a balanced crossover design. The exercises  were performed with a weight equal to their 10-rep-max. Therefore,  chest press and peck-deck were performed with the same load during both  techniques.</p>
<p>Electromyography (EMG) was recorded from the triceps, delts, and pecs during both exercises.</p>
<p>According  to the results, there was no significant difference in total work and  total repetitions between the two techniques. Likewise, during the  peck-deck exercise, no significant EMG change was observed between the  two orders. However, tricep activity was significantly higher when chest  press was performed after the peck-deck exercise (pre-exhaustion).</p>
<p>The  results indicate that performing pre-exhaustion exercise is no more  effective in increasing the activation of the prefatigued muscles during  the multi-joint exercise. Therefore, there&#8217;s no need to do your  workouts in any specific order.</p>
