How to Get The Body You Dreamed of.... The Hercegovian Way....

If one is ever fortunate enough to visit Hercegovina the first thing that jumps out at you is that the people look absolutely fabulous. They smoke, they drink, they eat white bread and they love their refined sugar. The breakfast of champions consists of Turkish Coffee, a shot or two of brandy, several cigarettes and cookies.

In Hercegovina you will never see anybody other than someone who doesn't belong in Hercegovina running.

What then is the Hercegovian secret to looking so fabulous???? Don't wear your body out....... If you need to spend more than one hour per week working out, you are putting unnecessary wear and tear on your body.

So here is my workout routine. I call it the "Hercegovian Re-Integrative Workout". It requires one hour per week, and you never need to set foot in a gym.

Sit Ups

You do a set of proper sit ups with your feet firmly anchored and with your elbows touching the knees six days per week. You do your set of sit ups no more than 60 minutes after your big meal of the day. The logic behind doing your sit ups after your big meal is simple. You put too much food in you, your sit up set will be very excruciating. Putting the calories into your mouth means having to wear out your body burning the calories off. Try to do minimum a set of 50 sit ups, ideally oblique twist sit ups. (total time 3 minutes 6 times per week = 18 minutes)

Push Ups

You do a proper set of push ups six days per week. Form is more important than sheer numbers. Do a minimum of 20 in your set. I always do my push ups before I do my sit ups. (total time 2 minutes 6 times per week = 12 minutes).

Grip Bar

The ultimate body re-integrative tool. It is basically a high grade chin up bar that allows your body to have a range of motion that is horizontal (rotational), and vertical. It is covered with oleo-rosin grip tape so that when your hand(s) grips the bar, they physically anchor and adhere to it. The grip is so strong that your wrist will snap far sooner than your grip will slip. You use the bar to do chin ups, pull ups, pikes, torso twists, kips, hyper extensions, etc. Every time you go up the bar, you have a beneficial side effect of providing traction to the lumbar region. (total time 10 minutes 3 times per week = 30 minutes).




Why waste your time destroying your body running or joining a gym? After all life offers far more fulfilling pursuits than tedium and sheer repetition. Pursuits like eating white bread, cracking out on refined sugar, or even......................
