I did this and gained weight when it was hard for me to gain weight. This routine involving bodyweight exercise could be done every day at home and without weights!

This one takes time and dedication. I myself have only progressed to the Tuck Planche and Tuck Front Lever.

Tabata Training

I have started doing an exercise routine called "Tabata" on my gym's treadmill, and I have to say it feels great to do and I get done with that workout within 10 to 15 minutes.

Tabata Training is intense running designed to burn body fat and build cardiovascular capacity at the same time. I first came across it when I read about it in an MMA magazine. When I first searched the internet, a good website I found with information was

 Check it out, it is a very intense workout, so ease into it and only do a few rounds of "Tabatas".

Introduction to my personal blog about exercising the body as well as the mind. Welcome.

Greetings. Call me Game and Box. I also go by my name Mark, if you would prefer.

I want to share my thoughts and findings to the world at large about what I personally find to be effective techniques to train the human body. Exercise is a passion of mine and it is my hope that someone could benefit from a healthy utilization of my findings to improve their health, fitness, and well being. Also, I want to include anything I find that exercises our mind.

Why call myself Game and Box? Well I believe life is a game of rules and I love the sport of boxing. Another way I thought of it was because I love all types of card games, board games, and video games that used to come in a box.

Please enjoy your stay at my blog reading and learning along with me.
