He also got serious about exercising, adding hiking and marital arts to his regime.

10-Year-Old 'Workout Kid' Has Grade Schoolers Sweating And Football Coaches Drooling
C.J. Senter may or may not be the next Tony Horton or the next Barry Sanders, but he is definitely the next 10-year-old to watch.
Granted, when most people hear "child prodigy," they rightfully raise an eyebrow and wonder who is pulling the strings. Add a workout DVD by a fourth-grader with sculpted muscles to the mix and "cute" can turn to "concerning." But it turns out the story behind "C.J. The Workout Kid" is a lot more inspiring than insidious.
C.J. started working out five years ago when his football coach told him and his teammates to go home over a weekend and get some exercise. He did some push-ups and sit-ups and loved it. Not too long after, he saw a P90X infomercial and loved that too. He's been working out ever since. C.J. does his own routines three times a week, after school and homework, and he's given new names to some old and boring moves, like the burpee, which involves a squat, push-up, and jump. C.J. calls that one the "shredder." He even teaches a class of (mostly older) kids at the gym near where he lives in Locust Grove, Ga
C.J.'s primary objective has always been the same thing: make it to the NFL. He's a running back and safety, modeling his game after another C.J. -- Titans speed demon Chris Johnson.
C.J.'s already been named MVP for the state of Georgia as an 8-and-under, and last year he played in the 10-and-under group as a 9-year-old. Carlos says that the team run by former NFL running back Jamal Lewis expressed interest in having C.J. commute to Atlanta to join up, but the drive was simply too far.
"You must eat a snack that contains protein between 3 p.m. and 4 p.m. Go for a protein bar, a piece of low-fat cheese, or some almonds with an organic apple.
No matter what, do not miss that snack. It's important because it boosts metabolism and balances blood sugar. The lower you keep your blood sugar, the lower you keep your insulin, and insulin makes you store fat around your middle. Eating every three to four hours will keep your blood sugar even, but many people tend to go five or six hours between lunch and dinner without eating." –Natasha Turner, naturopathic doctor, author of The Hormone Diet
The dog days of summer are fast approaching, and while we can't control the rising temperatures outside, we can control the heat of our bodies. That means drinking fluids and that, of course, begs the question; how much water should you drink?
"Your body is about 60% water, and every organ needs water, from flushing out toxins to carrying nutrients throughout your body," says Myra Greene, Kerr Drug pharmacist in Fuquay-Varina, North Carolina. "A lack of water leads to dehydration, which can make you tired and lead to a build-up of toxins in the body. It also makes it harder for the body to control its temperature."
In general, doctors advise drinking eight to nine cups of fluid a day and even more if you're going to be in the summer heat. it doesn't need to be just water, as all fluids count toward the total, but when it's really hot it's best to stay away from liquids that contain caffeine, alcohol, or large amounts of sugar. Here's the reasoning: You lose about 1.5 Liters (6.3 cups) in urine. Breathing, sweating and bowel movements account for another four cups. You'll take in 20% of the fluids you need from food, which means you'll need to consume about two Liters of fluid (about eight cups) just to break even. That's why more fluids are needed if you're going to be out in the sun.
"Here's a good rule of thumb I tell my patients," adds Greene. " If you drink enough fluids that you rarely feel thirsty, your body is telling you that you're on the right track." Other hot weather tips include:
Slow down. Stay in a cool place and reduce strenuous activities.
Dress cool. Lightweight, light-colored clothing.
Don't get too much sun. Wear sunscreen (SPF 15 or greater)
"Heat related injuries range from minor issues such as muscle cramps which are caused by a loss of water and salt through perspiration, dizziness, clammy skin and rapid heartbeat; to heat exhaustion which is more sever and includes headaches, nausea and weakness; to heat stroke which is life-threatening," says Greene. "The risk of heat illness increases along with temperature and humidity so you must respect the summer heat as well as enjoy it."

Immediately following the 2011 BET Awards, TV personality Free became a worldwide Twitter topic due to her amazing “assets.” Dressed in a fitted silver and sequin cocktail dress that gave viewers an eyeful of her lovely lady lumps, the former 106 & Park host made such an impression, she garnered comments from both men and women!
Robert Brace, veteran fitness guru and creator of the NYlean25 workout system, is responsible for helping Free sculpt her body upon re-entering the world of TV and film. “When she came to me she said, ‘Look, I want to get in shape and I want to feel healthy.’ She wanted to tone and lose a little bit of weight. She was very well aware of what her “assets” were and she didn’t want to lose those curves,” Brace reveals to BET.com.
The main question on our minds was how can we all achieve a bodacious butt like Free’s? Brace put the star on a high-intensity interval training workout plan with a lot of muscle building. “In our private sessions, especially for the glutes area, we had to make sure she was lifting enough weight to maintain her muscle mass, so she wouldn’t lose her derriere. She does squats with a small bounce at the bottom and I would give her heavier weights that would put more pressure on the glutes, and she would need to use weights that would get her tired after 8-10 reps. That’s what’s going to keep the muscle mass, the size and the shape.”
Don’t think you can just do these specially targeted exercises for the glute area, because Brace warns “that’s not enough.” You must have a total fitness body plan. Brace says the key to maintaining great curves is to stay toned. With Free, he “kept the interval training high so that she dropped the body fat and looked tighter.”
Free’s diet consists of high protein lean meats like chicken and fish, along with fresh veggies and low healthy carbs like steel cut oatmeal and baked sweet potatoes. “Everything she ate was real food. She wasn’t starving herself,” Brace reassures fans.
So, does Brace take credit for Free’s coveted jiggle? “Yeah, definitely,” he says with a chuckle, before adding that Free thinks the attention is rather humorous. “She’s so comfortable in her body. People commented about it all of the time and she was very lighthearted about it. More than anything, she’s definitely very confident about her body and what God has blessed her with.”
The star's curves recently sent Twitter in to a frenzy!
Slimmy-TrimmyRaven-Symonéreveals how she lost 70 lbs:
Former child star Raven-Symone insists she’s always been comfortable in her own skin, but after losing 70lbs, she’s certainly more comfortable in her own clothes. ‘It’s great to put on clothes and not wear a girdle,’ says the actress. ‘People say, “You look so pretty!” But I was pretty before,’ she tells People magazine in a new interview. ‘It messes with your head a little bit.’
‘I could look in the mirror and see me at 200lbs or 135lbs and I’m still the same person.’ The star decided to focus on her health and well being after taking a break from the spotlight in 2007. She began working out at least four times a week, with her sessions including 30-minutes on the elliptical machine. She also overhauled her eating habits, and now favours oatmeal and apple slices with almond butter for breakfast and salmon and steamed asparagus for dinner.
While her body has transformed, her message to fans remains the same. ‘Whether or not I’m this size, I always preached, “Be comfortable with your self,” and I will preach that forever.’
Once you uncover unique six pack secrets, do you automatically become more skilled in sex? Both of these may be favorite topics for you, and there is a strong connection between them. Your anatomy, physical build, or physique tie in and form a quite special as well as effective, long-term
relationship that also bonds with the way you perform as a sensual being.
Yet, who really needs to be more sexual skill anyway? After all, on the average, your romantic partner is likely to be someone (if you are lucky) who primarily cares about your personal character attributes more than any other single concern. Probably, the fact that your new-found six pack secrets now make you more skilled in sex, plus show you how to develop, maintain, and even DISPLAY an astonishing set of abdominals - this is just icing on your cake.
What we will do now, is succinctly discuss the nuances of sexual prowess, plus share with you some revelations about well toned abdominals. For example, would you believe that EVERYBODY owns a set of six pack abs? Yes, that goes for every individual! Yet, the basic anatomical structure of the human body gives each person effectively all of the muscles to perform the necessary activities of daily living, plus much more. And, here is a mildly surprising secret. Although becoming more skilled in sex remains one of its greatest side effects, the title "six pack abs" is actually a misnomer in six pack secrets, because you really have EIGHT abdominal muscles. They wrap around the midsection of your body in somewhat of a "criss-cross" pattern at the waistline. They connect your chest cavity (in front) and your spine (in back) to your legs via your hip bones and their associated joint systems.
This is why you are highly capable (even if you are not actually DOING this at the present time) of astoundingly wonderful abdominal, hip, back, and waistline gyrations. Another secret about six packs, in addition to growing more skilled in sex, reveals that abdominal muscles are highly different from any other muscular group you possess. The biggest distinction is they basically DRAPE across an open space without bones behind them to lean upon.
Use six pack secrets like this one: Just imagine your abs to be like the "harp" musical instrument. But, in order to have more sexual expertise, you have to learn how to play these unique "strings." You could also visualize your six pack abdominal muscles much like the strings that a puppeteer uses to cause the suspended wooden image to move about. This brings us to the third and final six pack point about abdominal structure and function for today.
There is another popular misnomer called "pushing" with your abs. You may find the action of this to be a much highly regarded tactic in regards to being more skilled in sex. Nonetheless, the actual truth is that muscles do not "push." In reality, they PULL, from your controlling origin point to the place where they connect to your bones. The final six pack secrets connection site is called the "insertion" point. Especially for enhancing and empowering your sexual skill, knowing the above fact gives you some really awesome advantages.
For instance, with the criss-cross motion of your abdominals you are capable of bending sideways to the left or right. Also, you can twist and swerve in a diagonal motion, or even "sweep" yourself from ceiling top to floor bottom. Your secret six pack knowledge can also show you how you can choose to engage yourself in a wide/wild variety of unique movements that are truly only limited by your individual flexibility.
Have you found some food for thought in becoming more skilled in sex here? Now, regarding the unique and rare connection between skill at sex and your six pack secrets wisdom, just think a little about this. In sexual matters, do you already know that orgasm occurs in a far more pronounced fashion by combining complementary amounts of pressure along with specific movement numbers in cycles per second?
How great this can be when you use it with power plus an attitude of concern, as well. Physically reaching a predetermined frequency along with your partner, assertively and knowingly allows both of you to intentionally reach that particular zone, with climax being your reward for such unique movements.
Now, how does your six pack abdominal wisdom interplay with being positively skilled in sex? Well, with amazing six pack secrets like this one, for instance, when you know that you can PULL rapidly and strongly (or even gently and appropriately) against chosen resistance with controlled or intentionally TIMELY gyrations, your partner and you are in for some astonishing surprises and revelations.
People are almost ALWAYS shocked by the outcomes of what they can accomplish once they put their minds (and muscles) to the task at hand. With such great sensual tips about why and how your body is able to move, you may even take advantage of your added control by just GIVING... that is, sit back, relax yourself, and enjoy, while you give your partner the ride of his or her life.
