PALEO DIET contains ingredients our paleolithic ancestors survived on.  It excludes foods that were not around during the stone age. This includes grains, legumes, dairy products, salt, refined sugar, and processed oil.  The focus is on lean meat, fresh vegetables, fruits, nuts, roots, and eggs.

BARBELL BACK SQUAT strengthens your hamstrings, butt, and groin muscles.  Use a weight that allows you to maintain good technique for 2-4 sets of 3-8 reps.  Stand with feet more than shoulder width apart.  Hold barbell across upper back with overhand grip, but don’t rest it on your neck.  Slowly squat, head up, back straight and butt out until legs are at 90 degrees.  Then with explosive move drive heels into ground and push yourself backup and repeat.

 

HAMMER CURLS more effectively targets the muscles of your forearms and wrists than bicep curls.  Exercise the same way except hold the dumbbells facing each other.  Engage your abs to prevent any movement in lower back.
