hi my name is Nick Robinson with
watchmojo.com and today I have asked my
manliest of manly friends Anthony
chamois to help me prove to you that you
can use some girly exercises to get very
manly results so today I’m stealing
three classic exercises from Pilates to
change
Anthony’s body into something even
manlier so the first exercise we’re
going to do today is we’re gonna take a
Pilates bicycle and we’re gonna
challenge
Anthony’s lower belly so the first thing
I’m gonna have him do is curl up so that
his shoulder blades come all the way off
the floor yeah so now his belly is
powerfully engaged on top of that I’m
gonna have him imprint that means
presses lower back into the floor
solidly and then lift his knees up good
now you’re gonna bicycle these knees and
I want you to take this like as extend
them as far as you can good and keep
this curl keep the curl now the legs
here are challenging his imprint so that
lower back position on the floor is
being challenged by these legs here
which means that his abdominals has to
push powerfully into the floor to keep
the imprint you can see he’s already
starting to do that fast twitching that
is happening in the belly and breeze
don’t forget to breathe
you know the reason people hold their
breath when they do como exercises
because when you hold your breath it
hardens the diaphragm which is your
body’s way of cheating because when you
hold your breath you harden up your
diaphragm and your diaphragm then it
pushes up against the belly wall keeping
your belly from having to do all the
hard work that’s why teachers like me
keep telling people to breathe when they
do Donnell exercises because people
typically don’t especially when they’re
challenging good job so typically when a
man wants to target his core he’s going
to do some
crunches you know guys if you can do a
thousand crunches there’s something
wrong with the crunch so I’m gonna show
Anthony how to do applauded ease V sit
which we usually see in a100 when you do
Pilates I’m gonna show him how to modify
that so if he does Tim I’d be surprised
because they’re really hard so the first
thing he’s gonna do is he’s gonna come
up into an e position so come all the
way up start by grabbing your legs
because what I’m gonna do here while
he’s supporting himself is correct this
spine position and come really into
neutral so you really want to pull your
chest up and forth pull the belly button
up and forward good now you can let go
of your legs and really try to come into
a V and extend the legs good now from
here you’re gonna extend all the way out
and pull the knees into your chest good
and take them out and pull the knees
into your chest good breathing all the
time these are so tough that is really
hard to do more than a minute of those
so compared to the crunch that you can
do a thousand of these are ten times
more effective so the third exercise
I’ve chosen called little piece of
heaven and it’s a variation on a push-up
so I’m gonna have Anthony start in this
nice tabletop position but I’m gonna
correct a couple of things the first
thing I’m gonna do heaven lift his belly
a little bit so that he’s got a neutral
spine he’s not collapsed his hands are
underneath his shoulder the reason for
that is we’re gonna put all of our
energy into triceps rather than chest
and biceps which typically men will work
when they do a wide arms pushup so em
knees gonna shift forward and allow his
elbows to come near his ribs good and
then send it back okay
now this is the easy version so if
you’re not used to working your triceps
in this way start with this one I’m
gonna show Anthony the second version
which is much
harder starting in a planked position
good hands again directly underneath the
shoulder I’m gonna have Anthony lift his
belly a little bit so that this becomes
a little bit flatter and then he’s going
to shift himself forward dropping down
into a 90 degree angle and press up good
without losing the belly and shift back
good keep this belly nice and tight
shift forward nice and slow 90 degree
angle in the elbows shifting back you
can see how demanding this would be of
your triceps but it’s also really hard
core workout too so guys you don’t have
to train only away you see in the mirror
because when you’re training in a
functional kinetic way you’re actually
going to be improving the look of your
body anyway and as you can see these
girlie exercises are really tough so
