LIFT is a web magazine for the adventurer in all of us (not necessarily the gym goer) -- successful men and women who work hard and play harder. Fitness isn’t about living at the gym, it’s about living at your peak, no matter what stands in your way. It’s about obeying the alarm clock, peeling yourself out of bed, and finding that extra hour most people think they’ll never have.

LIFT items are selected either by myself or by one of my guest editors. If you have a cool tip, please share it with me! And, no, you can't pay to be featured on LIFT. That's what advertising is for, and it's clearly labeled as such. I do not want to destroy the legitimacy, integrity, and fun of this blog.

For the most part, I take the photos ... but from time to time I use Getty Images, iStockphoto (where I am currently a stock photographer) and Bauer-Griffin.

BlogBurst.comLastly, this site is syndicated through Blogburst, so it's likely that you'll see LIFT on Fox News, Reuters, or USA Today.com.

I hope that you continue to enjoy LIFT. I look forward to publishing it.

Fit Tip: Quick and Easy Leg Workout

Celeb trainer Jim Ryno, recommends these simple sculpting moves that you can do at home:

Exercise 1: Kitchen squats
While holding on to the lip of a counter, stand with feet shoulder-width apart and dip down into a basic squat. (The cabinets beneath the countertop will prevent knees from moving forward.) Do two sets of 12 to 20 reps.

Exercise 2: Calf raises in the shower
For tones calves, raise both heels together off the shower floor. Repeat for two sets of 12 to 20 reps.

Exercise 3: TV-time thigh toning
While watching TV, put a pillow between the knees and squeeze thighs together. Hold for a beat, then release. Repeat throughout a half-hour show.

For more of Jim's workouts, go to Podfitness.com.

GREAT post.
there are so many exercises for legs one can do at home and Id completely forgotten about the calf raises (oops).

swing by the MizFits if you have a second, Jim, and check out my (accidental blairwitch) lunge video from yesterdays Monday Facetime.

It's the perfect compliment to this!
