Jennifer Aniston, Michelle Obama and Vin Diesel all have one thing in common: Great biceps. They're also the names I hear most often from new clients who are eager to improve upon this most prominent body part. Our bellies and booties are super important in the game of creating a great physique, but those parts are usually covered up. Sleek and sexy arms are often on display in the board room and at the beach. Now's the time to make yours great!

In this video, I tell you how the bicep works and share a few pieces of equipment you can use to train them. I expect everyone to choose a challenging weight -- 5-pound dumbbells are rarely enough for anyone. Choose a weight that makes you grunt a bit -- it's OK to work hard. After a few weeks, go get some tank tops!

If you've ever enjoyed a Cirque du Soleil performance, you'll no doubt agree that the performers in these shows have some of the best bodies in entertainment. They're strong, lean, flexible and have almost magical powers when it comes to acrobatics. I recently went back stage to work with Olivier Renaud, an über fit acrobat from the cast of Saltimbanco, Cirque's traveling arena show. Here, Olivier shares his three favorite exercises, and they're all moves you can do at home. They target the upper body, abs and lower body and I'll admit that Olivier looks fabulous doing them!



Oliver's exercises offer a range of benefits, including strength, balance and proprioception. Proprioception is something you want to train for -- it's basically your body's ability to respond to its surroundings without you intentionally willing it to. For example, if your foot were to hit the edge of the sidewalk, your ankle would have two choices on how to respond. It could either roll out, causing you to tumble over and injure yourself. Or it could instantly retract and keep you up on your feet. This split-second response comes from your body's natural ability to do what is best for you. With a short response time, you wouldn't be able to think, "Gee, let me pull my foot in this other direction." It either happens or it doesn't. Super proprioception keeps you on your feet!

saltimanco

On another note, I took my family to see Saltimanco. This show offered one breathtaking performance after another. My husband and I gasped, and my children belly laughed. I'd see it 20 more times if I could. I think it inspired every one in the audience to hit the gym a bit more too.

Lean and strong lats might make you love your upper body. Men have the ability to develop "cobra wings," which broaden the appearance of the chest and back while shrinking the appearance of the waist. Nice, eh?

Women can also reap great benefits from lat work. You know those unsavory bulges that squish out over the bra and under the armpit? With fat loss and strength training, you can ditch them completely! Fitz teaches you to train your lats using a variety of simple and inexpensive fitness tools.

A stadium is a great place to sit on your bum to watch a game and get off your bum and train it. Whether you live near a small or large stadium, I recommend utilizing it as a unique component of your training regimen to intensely target your lower body muscles and respiratory systems. There are so many activities you can do with the varying heights of steps, and the benefits are unreal.

As your online trainer, it's my job to send to your computers my very best training advice. The ability to actually show you my favorite exercises is a gift, and I'm excited to share these three with you. They're moderately simple training techniques, but very challenging and exactly what I'd have you do if you showed up at my gym searching for a stronger, leaner and tighter lower body.

I recommend you do as many as you can of each exercise -- and aim for three times a week for the greatest results. Beginners may only do 10 of each exercise. My advanced clients build up to about 100 reps of each move. No equipment is required, so please feel free to do these moves anywhere and everywhere. No excuses! Progress slowly and you'll be sporting short shorts this summer for sure!

I cringe each time I pass the smoothie cafe at the gym. Since I've spent my professional life trying to help people figure out the right way to lose weight and become fit, the smoothie sensation -- which usually takes people far away from their physical goals -- drives me nuts. Consuming a smoothie packed with fresh produce and not much extra nonsense is fine if you choose it as a healthier alternative to dessert or an occasional meal replacement. It is not however, some sort of miracle weight loss potion one should indulge in after every workout. This video explains it all.
