particularly road biking. does it work out your butt if you just sit and pedal? and does it make your butt firm?
weird coming from a guy, i know… but w/e..
thanks!

YES, to work your glutes, when the pedal is at 3 o clock to 5 o clock position your foot should be parallel to the ground, not the toe pointed position.
I am a teacher and my school uses Easy Grade Pro. Is there anyone out there that has it on their home computer and is able to save their files to a disk or a portable usb drive and bring the grades to school and pull it up on their school computer.
Hey, I got an idea, bring a usb of a cd with you, and put the easy grade pro on it, or send it to an email from ur school to ur personal comp, also, do you know where I can get easy grade pro 3.6?

The BOSU balance trainer is tremendous for balance exercises as well as strength and muscle building workouts.
This is a forward push-back lunge into the BOSU directly into a reverse lunge with balance in the center going back and forth.
This a great leg exercise but you must make sure to do the fundamental exercises before you try supplemental exercises such as this one.

This video is the bodyweight series to build a better butt and all of the exercises will be done standing up.
The first exercise is the wide stance squat. By positioning yourself in a wide stance you are more easily able to push your hips back, helping to work the back of your legs more when you squat. So in this butt exercise, push your hips back while squatting down and squeezing your glutes, and then come back up.
In the next bodyweight exercise targeting your butt that you will perform is the Waiter’s Bow. With this exercise you want to take one hand and pinch the skin of your lower back, while taking the other hand and placing it across your chest.
In this position, you will bow forward as if you were a waiter at a table and squeeze your glutes to come back up. Only bend as far over as you can while still squeezing an inch of skin from your lower back at the bottom position with your hips pushed back. If you’re inflexible, then you’ll more than likely feel a stretch in your hamstrings as well.
After the first two butt exercises you’ll move on to a split squat, or also known as the stationary lunge. To perform this exercise, place one foot forward, and one foot backward. Drop your hips straight down and squeeze the glute and the quadriceps of that front leg to come back up. You back leg will be used solely for balance.
The next bodyweight exercise is a little more dynamic and it’s known as the reverse lunge. Step back, drop your hip straight down, squeeze your glute, and then pull yourself back up.
After the reverse lunge you will then perform the step-up. In this exercise it is important to stand far away from the bench. Too often people stand too close to the bench, shifting the focus from the butt to the quadriceps when stepping up.
To really feel this exercise in your butt be sure to stand far enough away from the bench and drive through your heel while coming up. On the way down, slowly return using the back of your upper leg to lower your body.
The final exercise in the bodyweight series for building a better butt is the Bulgarian split squat. Essentially, this exercise is the same as a split squat; however, your back leg will now be elevated. Again, you will want to drop your hips straight down, using your glutes to come back up.
So that is the beginner bodyweight series to building a better butt and I’ve outlined them from easiest to hardest. If you want to add another level of difficulty, then you can also perform the workout using dumbbells or you can do the exercises in a circuit.
If you are going to do the circuit, then do all the exercises with no rest in between, take a one minute rest before repeating the circuit 2 more times. As well, you will want to perform each exercise for 8-12 repetitions.

The dumbbell squat is a great exercise for building the quads, hamstrings and glutes. Add this exercise to your workout and watch your legs grow!

Finally a home workout for quads that is as good as as anything a gym has to offer! Took me awhile to come up with a safe, effective exercise people can do at home for quads with simple equipment. Most home workouts for quads work only work for beginners but this exercise will work even for pro BBers with elephant legs. There are very few quad exercises I feel I can safely lift large amounts of weight and this is one of them. I love the burn and even more I love being so incredibly sore the next days that walking is difficult and going down stairs impossible 🙂
Everybody wants a big chest and arms, you dont have to nag people to do bench press or bicep curls. Many people though neglect legs thinkng that they can just wear long pants their whole life long but thats a BBIIIIIIIIIG mistake because some day its gonna be SO hot that they have to wear short pants.
So, how do you know if you have the dreaded “peg-leg disease”? Take this simple test, measure the circumference of your chest and measure the circumference of your legs (at the largest point), take the ratio (chest/legs).
*If your chest/leg ratio is less than 1.7 – Congratulations, you have thighs of death!
* If it is between 1.7 and 1.85 then you have great legs, nicely proportioned to your torso.
* If its between 1.85 and 2.0 your legs are lagging a bit but its not embarrassing 🙂
* If its greater than 2.0 then you have severe chicken-leg syndrome.
Couple other points. Do these slowly 1-2s up down. No bouncing on the stool, its just there for safety. When you go down just touch it very lightly. Now lets talk about foot position. Some people say you should point your toes in, some say you should point them out, I say – use a natural stance. We want to minimize the stress on the knee joint so stand naturally, look at your feet – that is how they should be angled. The quads are really strong muscles so you may find that the dumbbells you are using are very heavy and you might need to use wrist straps so that you can hold them long enough – dont want to be dropping the weights.
.
I know I harp on this a lot, but its really important that you keep everything in balance. You do legs AND upper body. And when you do quads you do hamstrings too. Big quads and tinsy hamstrings not only looks stupid but its really bad for the knee joint. I actually had knee pain that was being caused from quads being too strong for the hamstrings and they were causing my kneecaps to track incorrectly, brining my hamstring strength into proportion solved the pain.
Very important point here people! Please listen to this and save hundreds of your hard earned dollars. BELIEVE NOTHING YOU SEE! There are tens of thousands of products out there promising “Gain 20lbs muscle in 8weeks, guaranteed” and they have tons of before-after photos of “satisfied customers” prooving how great their sh*t is. DONT FALL FOR IT! These people have no shame, they will do anything to get your money – including altering before-after photographs.
Anyone can be healthier, have more energy, sleep better, and feel better about themselves through bodybuilding. Bodybuilding doesn’t have to be expensive or take a lot of time, gyms are great but home workouts can save you time and money. A cheap dumbbell set from a garage sale or walmart is all it takes to get started with your home workouts.

I was hesitant to put straight bar curls up. This is an effective biceps exercise which you should sparingly.
People who perform straight bar curls more than once every couple weeks are more likely to develop wrist problems.
Since dumbbells allow freedom of motion at your wrists they are a safer way to build your biceps. Since you cannot supinate with a barbell as you curl, dumbbells may be a better overall choice.
When you perform barbell curls, make sure you do not flex your wrists to keep the tension on your biceps.
Take a slightly wider than shoulder width grip and keep your elbows in at your sides while you perform biceps curls.
Keep your core, glutes, and shoulders tight while you perform barbell curls.
No rocking, you are not “reverse power cleaning”
Again, especially if you work a desk job with lots of computer use, you may want to refrain from using straight bar curls in your weight training program.

***Okies~!***
No one has stolen this EXACT video lately…That I know of xD
and just so you people know, I didn’t come up with this dance! It feels like people think I made this dance up when I really didn’t. I’m not epic enough to Come up with a dance like this xD
**old UPDATE**
PMD tutorial has been uploaded for some time now.
and I’ve uploaded the models to mediafire.
http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?njugzjzowfy
note: they are glitcy, so please dont complain…
and if ANYONE coments saying “OH, MY MODELS DON’T HAVE EYES” or “AW, MY MINI TETO DOESN’T HAVE ANY COLOR!”
then you are going to be ignored. because that’s what the “README” is meant for, R-E-A-D-M-E
although, if you have read the “readme” and are still having prolems, I will help you with that! :3
anyway,I hope to see these model’s used in video’s!
and they do not work with version 5.
I made these a long time ago. before version 4 was even out!
the reason is that I’ve just been ignoring this video, I don’t know why though, it’s my most popular video!
25,000 veiws!? That’s insane! XD
edit (again): 30,000 Views!? that’s amazing! thank you! X3
Edit (yet again): 45,000 VIEWS!!! HOLY SHIZ, THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH YOU ARE ALL AWESOME!!!! :’D
and a lot of people are wondering about the video in the background, so heres you answer!
I made the video in the background a long time ago, well, around April 9th I think. anyway, this video is the first video that keko was ever in, and it was supposed to be the ONLY video she was going to be in. but then people started to take a liking to her, and I decided to make a voicce for her, and that was the start of keko! but the reason i took that video down was because someone started to have a spaz about keko and I decided to delete all thinks keko to get them to stop.
although, since now keko’s back, I might be re-uploading that video! but that is if I can find the video file…
BACK TO ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION:
Anyway, about this video!
I was looking for the link to the Chibi hatsune miku that everyone knows, but I couldn’t find it anywhere!
and then i though
“Hmm…It probably isn’t that hard to make something like that using the PMD editor…”
and i was right! it only took me about 30 min to make ALL THESE!
i WILL be uploading them…but I want YOU to choose who i upload first!
so leave a comment asking who you want uploaded first!
I messed up on… miku…and Meiko…
Miku, because i made her first, she was like my “Experiment” it may look like she’s normal, but she has some problems…you guys are better off finding the OTHER little miku!
and Meiko because…umm… altogether, her body is too umm…yeah…too “Adult” to be turned to a kid…
but my favorite little models would have to be…
RIN, cause she’s my favorite vocaloid, ever! and I think she looks really cute as a kid X3
TETO, because teto is…teto, she was MEANT to be a kid!
Those two are also the most functional models out of all of them!
There is ONE problem with…most of the models
When you try to make their hands into fists, it looks a little weird… but I am trying to fix that…
I hope you like it!
