"Your Body is Your Barbell"

Surely you've run nonstop for 15 minutes before. But have you ever performed 15 minutes of resistance exercise without rest? Try it with these challenging body-weight exercises from trainer Craig Ballantyne, C.S.C.S. "You'll be surprised how hard you can work without a gym," he says. Alternate between the Y squat and the Spider-Man pushup for three sets of each. Then perform the remaining three exercises consecutively (again, without rest), doing three sets of each.

"Build the Body You Want"

Here's a sign of the times: You can actually hire people to come to your house and organize your closets. They'll also do your garage, your attic, and the shed in your backyard. These people are tough on pack rats. They ask questions like "Why do you have this box of dog leashes, but no dog?"

My job isn't all that different. As a trainer, if I see something in a client's workout -- or my own -- that doesn't belong there, I get rid of it. If I see a redundant exercise, it's gone. Disorganized workout? I organize it. And if I see a client doing a program he got out of some old bodybuilding magazine, I throw the whole thing out and start over.

"No Gut, All Glory"

Friend, we need to talk about that gut of yours. We know you're not proud of it. You may crack jokes about how you're aiming for a gold medal in the splash-diving competition in 2008. But other than the impressive column of water you spew with each cannonball, you know that belly fat isn't doing you any good. You don't like looking at it in the mirror, women are turned off by it, children ask if you have a baby in there.

"Come Out Of Hibernation"

The days got shorter, the bowl games got longer, the pizzas got bigger, and yesterday you woke up and realized you hadn't exercised since the lap dance at the office Christmas party. And, come to think of it, you weren't even the one exercising there.

"Perfect Form: Swiss-Ball Crunch"

Because of its ability to target the entire core, the Swiss-ball crunch should be a staple in your workout. The exercise primarily works the rectus abdominis, or six-pack muscles, and the transverse abdominis. But when performed properly, it also calls on muscles that stabilize the hips and lower back.

Problem is, many men position themselves incorrectly on the ball and don't fully engage the transverse abdominis, which is a band of muscle that pulls the abdominal wall inward to protect you and helps activate other muscles.
