Need More Ab Exercises? These 3 Articles Will Shred Your 6-pack

February 24, 2016 by IR Staff 1 Comment

Aaron six pack proof1
Proof Example #1 – 6-pack Abs

I have been studying psychology and physiology since I was 16 (seems like forever ago…I am 34 now), because I wanted a “hot” body (six pack with ripped back, chest, arm, and leg muscles), that also performs at peak levels.

Fortune favors the bold, so after staying consistent with exercise, hydration, nutrition, and sleep I have managed to keep the six pack I created so many years ago in my high school fitness gym.

I used to walk around with my shirt off all of the time to show this off, and then I realized I was just feeding ego, not helping others realize their own improvements…now I rarely am seen without a shirt.

I don’t keep my shirt on because I lost my six pack (they are still strong and present, just a little more hairy).

It is mainly because grew up a little and chose a more modest, humble approach to help others reach their fitness goals.

I realized I don’t have to constantly show off my abs, strength, power, and muscles at Innovative Results fitness gym, to help other people improve their quality of life…it is more about connecting and having fun at The Orange County Fitness Playground, while building good habits with solid fitness training programs.

Proof Example #2 – six pack abs

When it comes to overall fitness, especially ab and core strength, I wouldn’t coach clients, teach trainers, facilitate followers, or build progressions that didn’t work.

However, sometimes we forget that six pack abs and abdominal strength has less to do with ab-centric exercise (like crunches and sit-ups) and more to do with properly engaging them throughout our daily activities and exercise routines.

If we fail to engage our inner and outer abdominal muscles at the trunk of our torso, except for when we do “ab” exercises, we will fail to feel the abdominal muscles work properly in all positions.

Sounds to easy, but I encourage you to test this right now.

Are your “abs” “on”?

Most likely, they are not.

You are in some sort of forward slouch, slump, or fold, that has turned your abs into mush.

Once you straighten up your position in your seat or as you stand, your ab muscles and core need to share the load placed on your spine from gravity.

This load is increased as we perform daily tasks and exercises.

When we rotate, lift heavy, exert maximal force in push, pull, rotation, squating, hip hinging, and rotating, our abs must contract.

This is telling your ab muscles to adapt by getting stronger and more dense, so we can perform the exercises better next time.

Which invests into the future look and feel of our abs.

If we are regularly pursuing abdominal engagement through regular exercises, as mentioned above, and we consciously engage our abs as we sit, stand, walk, run, reach, lift, and hold stuff throughout the day…we will be amazed by our “core” or “ab” strength.

All of these movements ARE ab exercises, as long as we are actively engaging with our abdominal muscles during these movements.

As we start to engage our abdominal muscles more and more, we will have muscles to show off, especially when we pursue good nutrition, hydration, and sleep to help us remove the unnecessary body fat from our belly.

The Story of That Last Little Bit of Fat – Losing the Last Ten Pounds

February 23, 2016 by IR Staff 1 Comment

StressAaaarrgh!!

Why can’t the mirror just make it disappear?

And while I am talking about it, my pants would feel better without it, and don’t even get me started on how my shirts and blouses would fit without it.

When I step on the scale, it is still sitting there, reminding me of everything I don’t want to hear, see, or feel…

I have ten pounds of unwanted, undesirable, and un-removable body fat…I feel like I have tried everything, and it is still there, taunting me with its jiggly, bloated, bulging presence.

love handleHow do I lose the last little bit of fat?

This story has been told by all of us, and even though it feels like the last ten is stuck there forever, this does not have to be the story.

First, let me premise this story with the understanding that there is a necessary and healthy need for body fat, and it helps the male and female body look attractive. I am not here to help the person who is looking to starve and over-train every ounce of fat from their body.

I am here to help the person that truly has ten pounds (or more) of unnecessary body fat, which is doing more harm than good.

I am talking about the knee-pain-inducing, high-blood-pressure-raising,  heart-disease-increasing, depression-promoting, back-breaking ten or more pound of body fat.


We all see the shining light at the end of the tunnel. The shining light is where we have lost the ten pound baggage that has been weighing us down for too long, and now we are free to move, feel, and look amazing!

Fitness boot camp helps people get active

We know it is not going to be easy, and yet for some reason we want to hear someone tell us, “all you have to do, is keep doing what you have been doing, and it will gone.” or “Just do this one exercise for five minutes a day, and that little bit of fat will disappear before your eyes.”

Unfortunately, we all know this is not true, because we have been doing the same thing for (insert insanely long period of time here), and nothing has changed.

We also know that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing, and expecting a different results, yet it is so easy to keep doing our routine. Is that because we are creatures of habit? Yes.

What if we could make a slight change to our habits, and see a HUGE result?

enhanced-buzz-8548-1367336827-9Insert good news emoticon here, because we can!

Time after time at Innovative Results and throughout my time as a fitness trainer and fitness coach, I have seen the longest lasting, biggest transformations–especially with the “last ten pound club”–from those that stay dedicated to making small habit changes for good.

The three simple steps to lose the last ten pounds are record your nutrition intake (to include hydration), twenty minutes of relaxed, focused breathing, and show up consistently to an intelligent fitness training program.

Step 1 – Record Your Nutrition Intake, Which Includes Hydration

ir_3_nutrition_prepThis daily habit change, does not mean you have to go on a crazy diet, or fast with lemon-juice and ginger for forty days, or throw away everything in your kitchen, replacing it with fresh-picked hipster organic farm goodness.

Recording your nutrition is a way for you to teach yourself what you are eating.

Sounds dumb, but it is effective, which also means it is not dumb.

You would be surprised to hear that every single person I have asked to track their nutrition, has told me some rendition of, “Wow! I did not realize this juice had so much sugar in it.” or “Wow! A half a cup of rice seems so small on my plate.”

We live in America where convenience, incredible marketing, and big/more/bigger is the way of life, especially with food.

You can imagine how much help it is to add daily nutrition tracking of your food intake.

This small habit will completely change your life, and it is so easy to implement with smart phones and apps there is no excuse but to implement it today.

We recommend myfitnesspal, because it is simple, easy-to-use, and it is FREE! (we make zero money off of the promotion of this app and website)

Step 2 – Twenty Minutes of Relaxed, Focused Breathing

breathing techniquesThere are too many studies that recount the goodness and improvement that come from focused breathing, daily relaxation, prayer, and meditation, but I want to look at this time from a different perspective.

Think about this time as a reset button.

When your day is starting to choke you out, or last night’s lack of sleep refuses to be conquered by coffee, take twenty minutes to improve your mood, relax, de-stress, unwind, and focus on one thing, your breath, instead of the million things on your list.

If this turns into a twenty minute nap, than we know you probably needed more sleep anyway, which helps our metabolic and hormonal function.

If you keep thinking about all the things you need to do or want to do, bring a pad of paper, write it down and take care of it after your breathing time, and then refocus back on your breath.

This reset is crucial for your mindset during this time of change and renewed habits.

Every time you take twenty minutes to reset yourself mentally, you are also resetting yourself physically. Whatever mistakes you made or problems you had are now gone and in the past.

You are no longer weighed down by shame, guilt, or past habits.

Today is the first day of the rest of your life, and you have the opportunity to make a new you with a new day.

Step 3 – Show Up Consistently To an Intelligent Fitness Training Program

2016-01-12 10.11.51Showing up is the hardest part, especially if you have a million things on your list, or you don’t feel perfect, or you are feeling the darkness of the tunnel, not the shinyness of the light at the end of the tunnel.

Once you show up, all you have to do is join in the calculated exercise program, and you always feel better.

If the program is a smash-fest or it is variable and inconsistent, you probably won’t feel better, so don’t get sucked into these dark holes.

Seek out good coaching, encouraging environments, and tried and true methods for your exercise program and fitness training.

Whether it is one-on-one, group training, classes, or do-it-yourself exercise programs, make sure it is progressive, enjoyable, and helpful.

Progressive workouts build on themselves, instead of randomly putting together a bunch of exercises, and saying, “do it more and do it harder and do it more harder with intensity”…sounds weird, but because of our culture this is one of the biggest mistakes when trying to lose the last ten, because the stress of these workouts add to the stress of your day, and set your hormones up for fat-retaining failure.

Enjoyable workouts are going to be a personal choice, because where I see sweaty, disheveled mats with twisted figures hiding pain, many of you see a relieving, reviving, toxin-expelling, breath of fresh mobility, called hot-yoga.

Find something you enjoy, and stick to it long enough to build a deeper than paper relationship with the instructors and coaches that can only help you if they see you more than once or twice per month.

If we focus on these three areas as new, small habit adjustments, we will begin to see where our body and mind is most healthy in terms of body fat and lean body mass.

You will see that the ten pounds have melted away, and you have new lines, curves, jeans, shirts, and relationships that you never would have thought possible.

Your relationship with the mirror, scale, closet, pictures, and people have improved, along with your quality of life.

Forget Crunches – Here Are The 7 Best Core Exercises, Guaranteed to Challenge Your Core in New Ways

August 31, 2014 by ptpt 2 Comments

female absCore Exercises and Core training has been a popular topic for years.

Trends have had us doing thousands of crunches, balancing on balls, shocking ourselves and a myriad of television gimmicks.

The truth is that our trunk, core, abdominal wall or whatever you want to call it, ties our upper and lower body together.

It stabilizes, supports, transfers energy and helps us move efficiently.

While the rest of the world is still obsessed with sit ups, crunches and planks, we understand that there are a lot of other ways to challenge and train our core.

7 Best Core Exercises

1. Sandbag Carriescore exercise - sidewinder

Carrying a heavy sandbag in your arms forces you to stand tall and resist collapsing forward.  This is a simple, yet effective way to improve strength throughout the arms, back, abdominal wall, and hips.

2. Single Arm XT Row

Using the Jungle Gym XT, we simply lean back, resist rotation and pull our thumb to our armpit. Similar to other rows, but the anti-rotation aspect really challenges the core.

3. Single Kettlebell Rack Carry

Having the kettlebell on one side adds another level of difficulty.  Stand tall and do not allow the body to shift, tilt or compensate with the asymmetrical load.  Your sides will be working on this one.

4. Chain Pullcore exercises - racked carry

Starting in a push up position, with a chain looped around a bucket, we simply reach out and pull the chain towards us.  Avoid a lot of movement with the hips/legs and this will challenge the core like no other.

5. Barrel Push/Pull

Two heavy barrels are side by side.  Assume a good athletic position in front of the barrels, place one hand on each barrel lid, and then push one and pull the other.  This one is a killer!

6. Chain Sidewinder

Similar to the sidewinder exercise with the heavy ropes, we found that using the chain added a little more resistance and forced us to move as well.  This exercise is smooth and incredibly tough.

7. Sandbag Rotational Lungecore exercises - chain pull 2

This lunge variation has a lot going on, but has quickly become one of our favorites.  The sandbag is propelled forward by our hips and the core has to support, resist rotation and assist in the movement.  Great great great exercises for athletes.

Improving our abdominal wall doesn’t have to be boring and should progressively become more difficult.  Our bodies are incredible at adapting and changing to the stimulus we provide.

With a little science and creativity, we are able to safely create workouts to fit anyone’s ability level and goals as you just read with the 7 best core exercises.

10 Crunchless Core Exercises That Make Ab Crunches a Waste of Time

July 17, 2013 by ptpt 4 Comments

are crunches a waste of time?
The other day I had one of my clients ask me if I could give her some ab crunches after the fitness training session since we never really do any ab work…

If you had been there, you would have seen my mouth drop open.

Ok…yea we never really do any “ab crunches,” but we don’t need to!

We work our abs, our whole core, with like 90% of the moves we do!

So what did I do when she asked me for crunches?

I came up with these “10 Crunchless Core Moves” that are better at strengthening your core so you can move well and remain injury-free and getting you six-pack abs than any crunches could ever hope to be.

1. Sit Thrus – A super great move to work your shoulders, obliques and quads.sit thru series

To perform this move, start on your hands and knees. Tuck your toes under and lift up onto your hands and toes. Kick your left leg through, lifting your right hand as you “sit.” Do not let your body get too spread out. Try to keep everything close in that “crawl” or bull dog position. If you need to make the move easier, you can straighten out into more of a plank.

2. Crawls – Set up on your hands and knees. Your hands should be under your shoulders and your knees should be under your hips. Tuck your toes under and lift up onto your hands and feet. Move forward with the opposite arm and leg moving together.

3. Handstands – Handstands are a great upper body and core move. A beginner can do a variation from the ground. Push back into a downward dog position.handstand mark

Do not worry about whether or not your legs are straight. Focus on getting a nice straight line from the heel of your palms up your arms and back and to your tailbone. Once you’ve mastered the move from the ground, put your feet on a bench or chair. Finally move to a wall. From there you can even do one arm handstands with taps, lateral walking and even walking in or out. This progression will help you master the free-standing handstand.

kb front squat collage4. Front Squat – A great move because you work a large muscle group (your legs) and really work on your core’s ability to brace. When you front load a weight, your core has to work hard to prevent you from failing over while holding the weight – your core has to work hard to brace. To perform a front squat, hold a weight up at your chest. You can use a barbell, kettlebell or dumbbell. Squat down, sitting back on your heels. Do not let your chest fall forward or your back round.

sandbag good morning collage

5. Good mornings – Whereas the front squat is a more quad-dominate move, the good morning is a more glute-dominate, front-loaded move.  A great way to work your core and one of the biggest muscles in your body! Hold a weight at your chest (sandbag, dumbbell, kettlebell). Hinge forward at the hips. Your knees should be soft (slightly bent) and your back should remain flat as you hinge over as far as you can. You should feel a stretch down your hamstrings and glutes. Then, driving through your heels, come back to standing straight up. Squeeze your glutes at the top.

heavy bag carry
6. Bag Carries – One of the most functional moves and a great way to work on bracing and core strength. To do this move, pick up a heavy and slightly award bag. Sandbags, heavy bags or even loaded backpacks can all work.

Bear hug the bag and carry it around for 30 seconds to 1 minute. Make sure your core is tight and your glutes are engaged. You shouldn’t feel this in your low back.

power wheel hammie collage7. Glute Bridge and Curl – Our core is about more than just working our abs – it is also about working our glutes. The glute bridge and curl is a great move to help us do this WHILE also working our core stabilizing systems. This move can be done on valslides, towels, power wheel, physioball or TRX strap. To do this move, set with your feet on top of the valslides/wheel/ball or straps.

Legs are out straight. Raise your hips off the ground squeezing your glutes as hard as you can. Then curl your heels in toward your butt, raising your hips up even higher toward the ceiling until you are in a glute bridge. Then slide your feet back out. Keeping your hips off the ground. The more unstable the equipment you use, the more you will work your core. You can also do this as a single leg bridge and curl if you want to make it harder or as just a simple glute bridge if you want to make it easier.

8. Anti-Rotational Press and Pull – Pull ups, push ups and inverted rows all work your core! A great way to make them even more challenging is by doing a single arm pull or push so that you have to fight rotating. You can do a single arm press with either dumbbells or bands to really work your core. You have to fight against rotating as you do the press. Same goes for the single arm anti-rotational row. You have to fight against letting your body rotate open as you row.

xlt row collage

9. Chain Plank Pulls – Plank pulls can be done with ropes, sandbags or chains.plankchain pull collage

Set up in a high plank position on your hands and feet. Feet can be about hipwidth or shoulder-width apart. You can either do a lateral pull or a front pull.

In a front pull, you will pull the chain back toward your feet, really using your lat to pull down. In the lateral pull, you will pull the weight across your body.

Fight against allowing your hips to rotate as you pull. To make this move easier, go down to your knees and hold a plank.

farmer carry unilateral10. Farmers Walk – A great way to work on grip and core strength. You can either carry a weight on both sides or do a unilateral carry. Both have great benefits. To do a farmers walk or carry, grab heavy dumbbells. Keep your core tight and your shoulders down and back. Walk back and forth or for an allotted amount of time. The heavier the weights you use, the more challenging the move. Using fat grips can also make the move more challenging for your grip. A unilateral carry can also be a great way to make your core work to fight rotation since you will walk to either lean to the side with the weight or lean to far the other way to compensate.

Next time you go workout, don’t waste time on crunches! Work your core with these compound movements and get double the results in half the time!

Crawling Drills For Improved Core Strength From Innovative Results – The Orange County Fitness Playground

March 27, 2013 by ptpt 3 Comments

Give these 7 crawling drills a try, and watch your abs and arms get lean and strong:

The “Work Your BODY” Workout Move.

Functional and Simple.

Even a baby can do it!

orange county personal training, ankorr, crawling, harness, gym, fitness gym, orange county fitness gym, orange county fitness playgroundCrawling.

We did it when we were little.

But now?

Now we never crawl and when we do it seems ridiculously hard…especially crawling backwards (And the crazy part is… some of us even started crawling by crawling backwards!)

But crawling is probably the best core move you AREN’T doing!

When you do a tabletop crawl, you work everything down the front of your body from your shoulders to your knees.

So how do you do it?

1. Start on your hands and knees with your hands under your shoulders and your knees under your hips.

2. Draw in your belly button toward your spine and tuck your toes under and lift up onto your hands and toes.

3. Move forward by moving the opposite arm and opposite leg. So step forward with your left hand and right foot.

4. Stay on your toes and focus on keeping your knees close to the ground and your butt down as you move!

Crawling can be done forwards, backwards, laterally and even in circles!

Want a strong core?

Crawling is one of Innovative Results favorite ways to build stability, strength and increase body awareness.

Crawling is a contra-lateral movement, which is a fancy word for right arm and left leg moving together, while the left arm and right leg move together.

This is how we walk, run, swim, and bike from one place to another.

It is a great way to train your brain, and we have given you some crawling moves to train your body as well.

Enjoy these core, ab, upper body, lower body, and brain enhancing movements.

Try crawling today!

Abs are Made in the Kitchen

December 22, 2010 by ptpt 1 Comment

Most people come into the gym with one goal in mind – to lose weight and look great.eugene-success-rotator

And what I tell them is that working out will help them build muscle so they can look lean and strong. It will help make them healthier. It will make the weight loss process easier.

But I also tell them the honest, hard truth – that if they don’t eat well, they won’t reach their weight loss goals. Abs are truly made in the kitchen (and the grocery store).

Abs Are Made in the Kitchen

I would LOVE to be able to you that all you need to do is workout with me because that would make me a ton more money.

But it isn’t the truth.grocery-shopping 2

If you want to reach your goals, you need to eat whole natural foods and cut out all of the processed crap and sugar.

You need to STAY CONSISTENT over time and not just give up on a diet after a week. It takes TIME, DEDICATION and HARDWORK to look and FEEL great.

This doesn’t mean that you need to achieve perfection in your diet because perfection isn’t maintainable in the long run.

Just stick to the 80/20 rule. Eat clean 80% of the time with room for indulgences 20% of the time.

Remember, Abs ARE made in the kitchen.

So while working out may help you build a six-pack, if you don’t eat well, you will never be able to see it.

How Did Chris Get That Six Pack?

January 31, 2010 by ptpt 1 Comment

How many hours are you on the computer?

I live in Irvine and met Corey Beasley, owner of Innovative Results, at a business networking event. Coincidentally we lived in the same neighborhood.

I am a graphic designer and typically spend 6-12 hours per day in front of the computer. I had just finished up a 3 month boot camp that got me in cardio shape, but now I wanted to build muscle because I was just cast in a musical called the “Full Monty” .  If you know the story, you’d realize that I would be spending much of my time in a pair of boxers. That alone is a pretty good motivation to get the the gym, but I only had 3 months to develop a show stopping physique! Corey and I were up to the challenge!

In addition to pushing me 5 days a week in the gym, Corey also instructed me on how to eat properly for my specific goals and monitored my diet.  For the first time in my life I didn’t resist going to the gym, in fact, it became the highlight of my day, 5 days a week! When you put in that type of effort, the diet comes naturally because you want to do everything you can to support your hard work and achieve the results

3 months later, by the time the show opened, I was looking better than ever had and the audience response was most flattering.  I added close to 15 pounds of new muscle and developed a killer, attention getting six pack. This was not only good for my show, but also helped by the pool all summer long.

It has been a year now and i continue to train 5 days a week and I continue to achieve goals and enjoy the process!  I can’t wait to see what happens this year!
Do you want a six pack?
If so, give us a call.
We can make it happen!
