5 STARS! I regularly use this as a midday pick-me-up. Don’t know how I got by without it. Oh yeah, i used to nap and got nothing done between noon and five! Have tried other brands with bigger claims but none worked as well as 5-hour.

5 STARS

Coffee gives me a headache, 1/2 bottle of "5 Hour Energy " gives me the same get up and go on those days I can not. When I take a full bottle I get jittery,. A half bottle does the job, therefore reducing the cost by 50%. I like that. I take as needed in the A.M. If I miss a couple of days taking the second half on the same bottle I take it later and have the same effect. I keep one in my purse for those days I forget to take it before I leave for my day.

5 STARS

I use this product whenever I am in the mood for some energy. I hat monster or redbull because it is like take drugs, You take it feel great, Get major Shakes’, and then crash. With this you don’t even notice it, till you stop to think and realize, Wow I am more energized then I was before.. I love this product and recommend it to all. Do not use it everyday, as you will become immune. try switching off to other products but this is a great drink to buy, never buy anything else

 4 STARS

I get this question all the time, yet many guys have no clue on how to work this hard-to-reach area. One of the best ways to target this area includes leg raises. You simply lye on your back and lift your legs up, feeling the burn. This completely targets the lower abs and you will feel it. Doing 50 of these daily is ideal for working out this area. There are also other lower abs exercises. Such exercises for lower abs include:

Leg raises with some form of weight between your feet or thighs(a medicine ball is ideal for this). This adds more resistance and allows you to really build this area.

Hanging "swings". You hang from bars and "swing" from side to side. Not only does this work your oblique’s, it also sorta "shrinks" your lower abs, making your waist smaller.

Ideally, you can also do standing "boxing swings". This is where you stand straight and box with your fist straight ahead of you from side to side. The goal is to safely turn your waist as much as you can from left to right and vice versa.

Trust me, this really "shrinks" your waistline and makes waist smaller!

So here you have! Some "top secret" exercises for lower abs on how to build your lower abs and shrink your waistline!

What would the world’s most ultimate male fitness routine involve anyways? Would it be a perfect body,chiseled,rock hard abs,a hard strong chest,defined arms and a stunning jawline? Surely all that sounds promising but if you don’t have a plan to achieve this where do you begin? This article will help unravel the most commonly effective and fastest ways to get there!

We’ll first take a look at what it takes to be the most ultimate "you",physically at least.

• 1.LOWER BODY FAT PERCENTAGE-Eating habits-Exercise
• 2.BUILD LEAN MUSCLE MASS-Muscle building Schedule
• 3.ENHANCE FACIAL FEATURES-Face Exercises

Yes, you read the last one right,enhanced facial features! How exactly is this done? Well I’ll tell you right now that it won’t be done through plastic surgery, at least not by the methodology I’ll be recommending.

But first let’s take a look at the first two for ultimate male fitness.

LOWER BODY FAT PERCENTAGE

Eating habits-You can lose weight and keep it off by a variety of methods that really work.

First off,start by eating smaller meals. A small,fist sized meal every 3-4 hours. This will allow you to eat 4-6 meals a day! This will help keep the metabolism spiked all throughout the day. Think of your body as a furnace. If you don’t give it more wood(fuel) it won’t keep on burning,right?

Also, you will want to eat healthy. Make fruits and veggies a bigger part of your dietary lifestyle. Lean meats and proteins are excellent choices also. A huge part of perfect male fitness is to have healthy eating habits!

Try not to use sugar as much as possible and avoid excessive soda’s,alcohol,juices and other "empty" calories. Use Pam cooking spray instead of oil. Think smart! There are ways to cut calories without sacrificing taste.

Exercise- Instead of doing an hour on the treadmill, do 20-30 minutes interval training instead. This cuts time and also helps tweak metabolism to keep on burning long after your done! Start by doing 5 minutes regular warm-up. Then start to go as fast as you possibly can without burning out or injuring yourself. Do this for 1 or 2 minutes.

Then go back down to normal,relaxed pace for 2 minutes. Then start going as fast as you can again for 1-2 minutes. Rinse and repeat. You catch the drift right? Great!

2.BUILD LEAN MUSCLE MASS

Another critical element to perfect male fitness! Building lean muscle mass will help you achieve a body of the God’s! Try doing weight training every other day. Allowing one day to rest is ideal for muscles to build. There are plenty of programs on the net that offer great exercise charts, programs and even software to suit your needs.

3.ENHANCE FACIAL FEATURES

Want to create a stunning,chiseled jawline in less than a week? Then you should seriously consider face exercises to help define the jaw line,help enhance the cheekbones,eliminate under eye bags and even eliminate double chin!

There are over 50 muscles on the face and it is quite easy to manipulate them to your liking just as you would with any other muscle on your body through body building. The areas that you will notice results quickly are the jawline area and the double chin area and all that is needed is 15 minutes!

High intensity interval training is the new "secret" to get in shape fast! Weight training will help develop and sculpt lean muscle mass. Lean muscle tissue burns calories on it’s own,unlike fat in the body.Regular cardio such as cross-training,jogging or power walking will help you lose the extra fat around your mid section and other parts of the body and help define the muscles that are hiding behind the layers of fat!

On the plus side, high intensity interval training cardio gives you a real euphoric mental and physical boost.

So what’s the secret to fat loss in the least amount of time? The secret is interval training! This kind of cardio training helps you burn fat a LOT faster than the conventional,slow burn. The mechanism works by reving up your metabolism and really stoking the internal flame to burn calories more effectively.

In studies,test subjects who ran for just 20 minutes using interval training tactics lost three times the fat off their bellies,butt and legs!

Interval training works by sparking fat-mobilizing hormones,helping to amp up your cardio activity capacity so your future workouts will feel easier and more effortless.

When you do the same old,boring workout everyday, your body gets used to it thus never really changing. It’s a fact that your muscles become more effecient at movement over time so after a few interval training sessions you’ll tweak your system into burning more calories to lose weight.

If you think about it logically it makes sense. And it’s been proven! High intensity interval training has the new "it" factor of the future of men’s fitness!

So how exactly do you do it?

Simply mix up your cardio routine by alternating your workout around and/or adding speedy "interval" bursts of energy. They can be quite fun and exhilirating if you use the right tactics. I always like to employ my trusty mp3 player to get me in "the zone".

You can start by doing a 3 minute warm-up,then kick it up as hard as you safely can for 1-2 minutes,then down to normal,steady pace for 1-2 minutes again, then doing the speedy burst again for 1-2 minutes. Rinse and repeat!

That’s it! 20 minutes a day 3-5 times a week! Believe it or not this is more effective at helping you lose weight than 1 hour of regular,steady cardio activity 3-5 times a week!
