How Inverted Rows can help Strengthen and Chisel your Back
Inverted Rows are a great back, grip and pull up strength progression exercise.
Compared to dumbbell or barbell rows which most people struggle keeping a hold at the top range of the position with inverted rows you can develop better mobility in the upper portion of the repetition.
1. Grip a bar/rings/trx with an overhand grip
2. Squeeze glutes and Contract your abs
3. Keep your body still and straight as possible
4. Feet positioned on ground
5. Position your legs closer to you to make it easier and further out as you progress. To make it even more difficult as you progress position your legs on a bench and than eventually add weight.

Mobility vs. Flexibility is One Better than the Other?
If you think Mobility and Flexibility are the same, could be one of the reason you are stuck in the same range of motion with no results and possibility of an injury.
Doing only stretching for flexibility pre/post workout will temporarily improve the length of a muscle, as the muscle will return to its original state and results will be temporary.
Utilizing Mobility exercises and in particularly prior to exercising will be more effective because it is based on movement and control. Incorporating mobility exercises in your daily regime will increase and strengthen your range of emotion while preparing your nervous system. This new strength and mobility will be carried over to your workout and next sessions, to continue to improve performance and joint health.

How to achieve a “toned and sculpted” physique?
Getting fit and remaining fit requires a multi-step approach. It boils down to how much are you willing to change and do your goals match your willingness?
3 Terms that are misunderstood by many females:
Toning-Making your muscle tight
Shaping-Changing the shape of your muscle
Sculpting-Building muscle while loosing body fat
In order to achieve a “toned and sculped” physique it requires for you to challenge your muscles so they grow by weight training. The weights used should resemble more along the lines of the weight of the purse you cary than the cupcake that you eat.
The importance of combining strength, endurance, flexibility and mind-body disciplines on a weekly schedule is a key component to avoiding a fitness plateau. We as humans fall easily into a habit of doing the same routine and our bodies adjust to the comfort and ease over time.
Research has shown that when your body performs the same exercises regularly, your muscles will do what they are supposed to do and that is adapt to the need, function, and demand. Your body’s adaptation causes a fitness plateau along with frustration on not being able to reach your fitness goals. By adding variety to your workouts and proper periodization you will keep yourself engaged and see the benefits in your healthy body.
Variety of consistent training techniques combined with clear and concise approach to nutrition is the key to feeling Happy inside and looking the way you always wanted on the outside.
Anytime, any age, anywhere!
