Fat-Burning Finisher:

f you’re bored of the bike, can’t stand the stairs and detest the dreadmill, perhaps it’s time to mix up your cardio with another method. We suggest giving a FAT-BURNING FINISHER a try!

As the name implies, a finisher is a set tagged onto the end of your weight-training session. The goal of the finisher is to maximally challenge your total body, deplete your energy stores and increase the afterburn. A finisher can be just one exercise or a combination of exercises that induce a high metabolic cost.

There are endless options for finishing circuits. You can get creative by stringing together a few compound, plyometric and/or bodyweight moves for a seriously intense circuit. Below is a BOSU BALL PLYOMETRIC CIRCUIT for you to try demonstrated by 2015 Arnold Australia IFBB Bikini Champion Janet Layug!

KNOW YOUR LIMITS

Should you really push it? Yes. Should you test your limits? Yep. Should you take into account your current fitness level? ABSOLUTELY.

No matter your fitness level, you are striving for YOUR personal eight to nine out of 10 in terms of effort. For each person, that looks a little different, which is OK. You will adapt, get in better shape and improve with each session. The key is to keep pushing.

Fat-Burning Finisher: BOSU BALL PLYOS

The BOSU is a great tool for a finisher, as it adds instability and resistance (for the burpee) to some common plyometric moves to increase the challenge. The key to this circuit is speed and explosiveness.

• Perform each move for 30 seconds straight back to back, no rest.
• After completing one rotation, rest for one minute.
• Complete three to four rounds, depending on your fitness level.
• Move as quickly and explosively as you can while keeping form.

BOSU Squat Jump

1. BOSU Squat Jump

Position BOSU dome up and straddle it. Squat, then jump up and onto the dome with both feet. Jump back down to the straddle squat.

FAT-BURNING FINISHERS 2-ins2

2. BOSU Push-up

With the flat side up, hold the side edges and perform a push-up.

BOSU Mountain Climber

3. BOSU Mountain Climber

With the flat side up, hold onto the side edges and alternate driving knees to chest as fast as you can.

BOSU Burpee

4. BOSU Burpee

With the flat side up, hold onto the side edges. Jump legs out to the plank and back in, ending in a squat with the BOSU overhead. Complete the rep with a jump.

5. BOSU Elbows To Hands

With the dome up, begin in an elbow plank position with forearms on the BOSU. One arm at a time, place palm on the dome and press up to plank on your hands. Lower back down to the forearm plank. Lead with the right for 15 seconds and lead with the left for 15 seconds.

Botched Circumcision Leads to Penis Amputation for Baby Boy

From  cord blood banking  to  baby naming ceremonies , parents of newborns have a bevy of key decisions to make when it comes to medical procedures and religious and/or cultural practices. For instance, as soon as a couple learns they're having a boy, they might find themselves grappling with the  decision to circumcise—or not . It's an individual, personal decision for every family. Thankfully, when parents opt in, most circumcisions go off without a hitch. However, a shocking story out of Egypt highlights one instance in which the routine procedure went terribly awry. A father from Cairo is speaking out after his son's  penis had to be amputated following a botched circumcision . The Jerusalem Post  reported that the father named Ashraf Helmi says he took his child to Cairo to be vaccinated and was convinced by his sister-in-law and a family friend to have his  1-month-old son Mohamed circumcised during the same doctor's visit. According to  Me...

Reduce Acid-Forming Proteins to Protect Kidney Function

Chronic kidney disease is a major public health problem affecting about one in eight Americans, increasing the risks of disease and death even among those with only mild decreases in kidney function. Low-cost, low-risk preventive strategies that anyone can do are needed to address the epidemic of kidney disease. I discuss some of these in my video Protein Source: An Acid Test for Kidney Function . Diet plays a role in kidney function decline. “Specifically, diets higher in animal protein, animal fat, and cholesterol” may be associated with protein leakage into the urine, which is a sign of kidney damage, and, generally, “diets higher in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, but lower in meat and sweets, may be protective” against kidney function decline. In comparison to the diet eaten by our ancient ancestors, not only are we eating more saturated fat, sugar, and salt, we now also eat an acid-producing diet, as opposed to a base-producing, or alkaline, diet. Ancestral human diet...
