But how do you go about getting shredded between now and the end of spring? Well this article will help you get there. We are going to look at five ways to get shredded this summer.

​2Hardcore Moves That Are Safer For Your Back

Deadlifts can be tough to learn and even tougher o Men's Health MetaShred Extreme program. n the lower back. That's why I recommend single-leg deadlift (or hip hinge) variations for most people, especially if you're over 30. They unload the spine, improve core strength and hip mobility, boost balance, and safely hammer the hamstrings and glutes. That's why they're a featured exercise in my Here are 2 of my favorite variations that you can start implementing into your training 1. Asymmetrically loaded Bulgarian hip hinge You're more likely to see a unicorn than witness someone performing a single-leg hip hinge (also referred to as a single-leg stiff-legged deadlift or RDL) correctly. That's why I love the Bulgarian hip hinge for hamstring, glute, and back development.

See How You Can Spend Your Minutes In The Gym

 Ever looked at a trainer's body and thought, I wonder what they do? We wanted answers, so we asked one of our favorite trainers—certified strength and conditioning specialist Tony Gentilcore, founder of CORE training in Boston—to reveal his exact gym routine when he's pressed for time. I'm a strength guy and like helping get people strong. There’s a lot to be said for training for strength: You build a more resilient body, that body is less likely to break down over time, and you're harder to kill if the zombie apocalypse ever goes down. More specifically, I’m a huge believer in hitting a "big" main lift of the day. By that, I mean something that trains your entire body, involves multiple joints and muscle groups, and allows you to burn a ton of calories in a short amount of time. And I like to go heavy. (Good thing, too—a new study published in Frontiers in Physiology found that folks who trained with heavier loads saw a nice bump in...

The Intense Ab Workout That Carves Crucial Core Muscles

The Muscle: Erector Spinae Paired bundles of muscles and tendons that hook into the spine, the erector spinae runs along the sides of the spinal column and hooks into the back of your pelvis to protect and strengthen your entire back. The Exercise: Diamond Back "People forget that to have amazing abs, you need to have a strong back," Shaun T says. "This move is deceiving. It doesn't look nearly as challenging as it is." First, lie facedown on the floor. Then, squeeze your glutes so that your legs lift slightly off of the floor. Raise your chest and extend your arms out in front of you, off of the floor. Keeping your chest lifted, draw one elbow toward your back, he says. Alternate arms.

Firm Your Flab Zones

Waist Whittlers Everyone's got 'em: stubborn trouble zones that seem to stick around no matter what you do. Luckily, we've got the plan that will help you get rid of them for good. It's all about challenging yourself — and your muscles. "Even the best exercises will stop producing results once they become too easy," says Grace De Simone, national group fitness director for Plus One Fitness, based in New York City. "To see real change, you need to increase intensity and add variety on a regular basis." De Simone's program presents options for every fitness level. Choose the basic move for each problem area (abs, arms, chest, thighs, butt) if you're a beginner; challenge yourself with the intermediate or advanced exercises when you can easily do two sets of 12 to 15 reps. Do these moves two or three times a week, along with 30 to 60 minutes of cardio on most days, and in four to six weeks you'll see inches melt away and sl...
