“I’m gonna pump you up!” How can we forget this well known phrase from an unforgettable Saturday Night Live skit! We laugh at the memory of two over-inflated comedians flexing their biceps, when in fact pumping up is exactly what we should be doing!

What guy doesn’t want a better chest? Greater tone, a bit more size, perhaps more fullness… it is every man’s dream.

And ladies, you too can really benefit from stronger chest muscles. Training the upper chest can have a slight breast augmentation effect… and at a cost that no surgeon can touch.

The chest is one of the attributes of a “man’s man”, at least according to a survey published in Men’s Health on what women find sexy about men. And women can also increase their attractiveness to men simply by looking more fit.

But that’s not all. A survey conducted in preparation for National Orgasm Day (who knew?) revealed that eight out of ten women increased their orgasm frequency and intensity through just three days a week of strength training.

A lot of people think you’ve got to hit the weight room to really build muscle. It’s understandable, but they’re mistaken. You can skip the weights entirely. Think about it: real strength isn’t about isolating a muscle group and working it to death. The kind of muscle power you really need should give you functional strength.

Functional strength means you have ability to get yourself up a flight of stairs. It means you can lift your groceries and load stuff into your car. Functional strength is the power to live your daily life. But as you age, that power starts to fade.

Proper posture helps maintain a structurally stable body. But how do you achieve proper posture? Well, it all begins in the core. The core is the center of the body and where all movement begins. The core consists of the muscles of the hips, abdominals, and low back. These are some of our largest muscles groups, and provide the human body with the structural integrity it needs to function.

When these muscles are strengthened, they protect your back from potential injury and can alleviate most existing back problems and help to take undue load off of your joints and spine by helping the body to work more efficiently.

There are seven common “facts” about boosting metabolism, burning calories and losing weight. Some are true. Some are not.

I have three big, and I mean BIG, body-changing lessons to share with you today.
