Read excerpts from Jordan's interview with Myatt Murphy of AOL's That's Fit:  No one understands fitness quite like Hollywood's hottest trainer Jordan Yuam. The owner of Jordan's Virtual Fit Club, you probably know him better as the man responsible for Twilight star Taylor Lautner's newly transformed physique. But what's impossible to know is just how many creative exercise techniques Yuam has up his sleeve. Techniques that have helped him remake the musculature of Lautner -- and the rest of his celeb clientele -- at an almost record-breaking pace.Yuam's techniques are so highly unique and innovative that trying to describe them all would fill this entire website, but we did manage to get him to share a portion of his exercise expertise with us. Here are just three of the many methods Yuam regularly uses with Lautner that are guaranteed to make a world of difference in your workouts. 1. Make your muscles multi-task.

A lot of beginners (and even seasoned exercisers) tend to stick with the tried-and-true formulas of strength training when they lift weights: do 3-4 exercises for large muscle groups; 2-3 for smaller muscle groups; three sets of 8-12 repetitions per exercise... 3. Focus on your muscles, not what you're moving. Many people obsess more about the amount of weight they're lifting, rather than making the effort to concentrate on the muscles they're using. This can be especially difficult to avoid doing with muscle groups you can't see as you exercise, such as your back, rear deltoids (the back of your shoulders), hamstrings (the back of your thighs) and glutes (your butt)...Read the full article by Myatt Murphy at That's Fit. |
