"Muscles in a Minute!"


Patience is for mutual funds and deep-space probes, not muscles. Sometimes we want our bodies to look their best right now. Maybe you want case-hardened abs for a day on the beach. Or you want your arms to pop at the picnic. Or you need a chest that fills your suit coat at the reunion.
We'll tell you how to produce build muscle fast, even if you've missed a workout or three.

"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.

"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.

"The Rock is Cookin' "


It all starts with the body.

The charisma, the comic timing, the smirks, the cocked eyebrow... they're all pinstripes on the Porsche. Without the body, none of these things matter. See, Tom Cruise could potentially saunter into a Venice Beach diner wearing sunglasses, a ball cap, and jeans and make it to a booth without anyone noticing. But not a 6'4'', bronze-skinned, redwood-muscled monolith like the Rock.

"Your Checkout Points"


You know that women have a thing for abs. We peek at them when you reach up high for something, we look right at them when you peel off your shirt at the beach, we feel them when you hug us. And we love to run our hands over them.

But you knew this already. (Well, maybe not the reach-and-peek part.) It's why you did crunches today. (And if you didn't, you should check out The Abs Diet.) But there's more to lust than abs.

"Do 50 Pushups with Ease"


Hop off the floor and approach the bench. "The bigger your bench press, the lighter your body weight will feel when you perform a pushup," says Luke Richesson, of Athletes' Performance, in Tempe, Arizona. In fact, Richesson's 10-week plan for reaching 50 and boosting your bench press calls for no pushups at all.
