Circuit training means you combine many exercises together and move through the exercises with very little or no rest in between.  The goal is to keep your heart rate elevated while you are performing quality strength exercises.   I thought it would a good idea to touch base on some of the reasons why I think circuit training it a great way to execute your workouts.]]></content:encoded></rss:item><rss:item rdf:about="http://www.fitnesstrainingbyjon.com/blog/2010/1/31/super-superbowl-hummus-2010.html"><rss:title>Super SuperBowl Hummus 2010!</rss:title><rss:link>http://www.fitnesstrainingbyjon.com/blog/2010/1/31/super-superbowl-hummus-2010.html</rss:link><dc:creator>Jon Ham</dc:creator><dc:date>2010-02-01T05:10:36Z</dc:date><dc:subject>Jon Ham Vegan health food healthy dip healthy spreads hummus julieanna hever low calorie meal, nutrition party dip plant-based lifestyle super bowl 2010 super bowl 2010 vegetarian</dc:subject><content:encoded><![CDATA[Hummus is a great way to enjoy the Super Bowl without adding an insane amount of Calories to you diet, especially if you dip some healthy veggies in your home made hummus!

By spot reducing I mean having the ability to perform high numbers of exercises that will transform one part of your body in a relatively short period of time.  Some people think if they do hundred of crunches a day, they will achieve a flatter stomach, or by performing hundreds of squats a day with will shrink the size of their legs in no time.  Well, I'm sorry to say that this is not true!  So for all you who are attempting to change your problem areas by spot reducing...YOU ARE WASTING YOUR TIME!]]></content:encoded></rss:item><rss:item rdf:about="http://www.fitnesstrainingbyjon.com/blog/2010/1/25/home-training-with-a-stability-ball-by-cari-ham.html"><rss:title>Home Training with a Stability Ball - By Cari Ham</rss:title><rss:link>http://www.fitnesstrainingbyjon.com/blog/2010/1/25/home-training-with-a-stability-ball-by-cari-ham.html</rss:link><dc:creator>Jon Ham</dc:creator><dc:date>2010-01-25T20:00:03Z</dc:date><dc:subject>Core Training Fitness Personal Training Stability Ball Swiss ball balance training cari ham exercise health home gym equipment julieanna hever stability ball strength training weight lifting wellness</dc:subject><content:encoded><![CDATA[When I begin working with a client in their home, the first piece of equipment I tell them to buy is a Swiss ball or Stability Ball.  The presence of the Swiss Ball is everywhere.  We find them in large public gyms, private personal training studios, physical therapy offices, corporate board rooms, etc.  There are many great benefits of making a stability ball a part of your fitness routine, especially if you are working out at home.  Let me take you through some of the reasons why I think Stability Balls are so great to have in your home!]]></content:encoded></rss:item><rss:item rdf:about="http://www.fitnesstrainingbyjon.com/blog/2010/1/24/peanut-masala-with-brown-rice-pasta-and-veggies-part-4-of-th.html"><rss:title>Peanut Masala with Brown Rice Pasta and Veggies - Part 4 of the Indian Sauce Series</rss:title><rss:link>http://www.fitnesstrainingbyjon.com/blog/2010/1/24/peanut-masala-with-brown-rice-pasta-and-veggies-part-4-of-th.html</rss:link><dc:creator>Jon Ham</dc:creator><dc:date>2010-01-25T02:44:46Z</dc:date><dc:subject>Basus homestyle health food indian food low calorie meal, nutrition plant-based lifestyle</dc:subject><content:encoded><![CDATA[This is our 4th video in the series of cooking shows featuring Basu’s Homestyle Indian vegan sauces.

You already have a great tool and it cost nothing at all...your own body weight.  So I just finished shooting another video on effective exercises you can do using no equipment at all and I thought this would be a good time to take a step back and remind you why strength training is so important to maintaining optimum health.  Here are just a few of the benefits of strength training that I think are the most important ones for you to know!]]></content:encoded></rss:item></rdf:RDF>
