Body Building Software - Your Computer As Your Training Partner

Knowledge is power. And bodybuilders want to be powerful. So the idea of body building software, which gives bodybuilders a wealth of information on how to train, eat, and rest properly to achieve maximum results from their body building efforts, is a natural.

There is, after all, more to successful body building than strength and cardio training accompanied by carefully planned, nutritional meals--much more. The missing element is the understanding of how to do each of those things correctly. Getting your body building program off to a good start with good information is very important, and body building software can help.

Software To Train By

Body building software, however, is not merely educational; there is also software designed to let you track your bodybuilding routines and your performance. You can use this software to record your daily routines, compute the number of calories you burned, and let you remember which areas you need to keep working on and which ones are your strong points.

This software can act as a training partner, giving feedback which helps you hone in on the parts of your bodybuilding routine which are working and which ones need fine tuning to keep you progressing. And it’s all courtesy of the Information Age!

Costs of Body Building Software

Body building software is priced to fit anyone’s wallet, so don’t be afraid to check the available options. As with all software, body building software will be priced according to its technological features. But if you just want a basic informational or tracking body building software program, you will be sure to find one within your means.

The best body building software programs are written, illustrated and filmed by fitness trainers and other body building experts and will use information provided by the users--answers to questions about their gender, age, health, current fitness level, and where they normally work out--to customize body building routines with strength and cardiovascular elements.

Some body building software will even use computer logic to project what results you may expect to see from performing a particular routine for a specific amount of time; and some may customize body building nutritional plans.

You would not try to implement a body building routine without the right equipment; barbells, dumbbells, and a weight bench is simply essential. And once you have seen some high-quality body building software in action, you will understand why it is just as essential to the success of your body building routine.

Training For Conditioning And Weight Loss

I've got a new workout routine for you today. It's all about getting ripped and in excellent condition for the summer. So for those of you that want a workout routine to lose weight or simply cut up for the summer this is it.

In this first part of the workout routine, you will see fat burning exercises for the chest, back, core and thighs. There is a very heavy cardio component to this workout as well that takes care of the fat burning nicely.

The chest is worked by the pushups. Here is the proper exercise form description on how to do pushups in your routine properly.

Lying facedown on the floor, place your palms next to your chest a little wider than shoulder width apart. Keeping your body straight, lift up until you are supported on your hands and the balls of your feet. Press up until your arms are extended, then lower your body. Remember; keep your body straight and back flat. This is a keeper for those body weight workouts.

Now the version of the pushup we are doing in this workout has a row included to work the back. Make sure you keep your core really tight and legs pretty wide so you don't fall over. As you can see in the video, you can do the exercise on your knees as well until you can do the full version.

For the lower body and thighs, we have a side step lunge. This is different than the regular back or front step lunge that you would normally use in your workout. You step behind and to the side. This version really targets the butt. If you really want to hit that area, then take a look at our glutes and butt workout page.

In between our resistance training part of the workout we throw in some step work. This is also a pretty great butt and thigh burner but that's not the main point. This is to work your cardio and conditioning so you can get ripped. Once you get in shape, you will almost think of the stepper as your break.

I also thought I would put up a clip of a mostly bodyweight exercises conditioning class that falls into the bootcamp style. We throw in some weights now and then to the bodyweight exercises just to add a little suck to the conditioning.

We have a riot doing this. Everyone can benefit from this style of conditioning. You can see a couple MMA guys, some moms losing weight and weekend warriors that want to kick butt.

There is a total mish mash of bodyweight exercises in here. Everyone does the best they can and sometimes a bit of sloppy form slips in when people get tired. I try my best to stay on top of it. The real key is to push yourself past what you did last time. When working with bodyweight exercises to get your conditioning up you have to take baby steps. At first it may be pushups on your knees and then before you know it, you are doing muscle ups.

Here are some of the bodyweight exercises you can include in your own conditioning workout for performance or weight loss.

1) Hopping pushups with variations

2) Jumping lunges

3) Knees and Jumping Jacks for rest

4) Jumping Chin ups

5) Dips to pushups

6) Hampster wheels (that is what I call them!)

7) Sit-ups

8) Overhead Squats And Front Squats

If this kind of training is your cup of tea, let us see some of what you do. Take a pop by our fitness forum and share your best workouts with others so we can all become machines of fitness.
