At the scheduled time of this articles release, I have just become aware of a massive set of Tornados ripping through southern United States. Many of these regions I know quite well and from myself, my family and all of USPlabs are deepest hopes, thoughts and prayers are with you. For those reading and in the line of possible danger please be safe and take what action needed to put you and your loved ones in the safest possible environment.

Building the “beach body” should inherently imply an element of functionality whereby your physique not only is appealing but allows you to live a more participatory life. While my career is best known for its work within elite athlete training circles from another vantage the classic athletic physique is arguably the epitome of the male or female form. This returns to my earliest arguments in the health and fitness industry when I began writing because if your goal is simply to “look better”, then train as an athlete.

Yet for many that will either be a challenging long-term change, requiring education on how to perform certain movements that may take considerable time to learn as well as possibly needing a new facility to workout. While I do not want to dissuade anyone from learning the classic lifts of Squats, Push , Pull or Pressing, there are a number of areas that have virtually no learning curve and help you attain that “beach body” this summer.

The mention of “beach body” brings up many different images to the fitness and exercise industry. From one standpoint, it certainly reminds readers of the classic advertising by Charles Atlas of “having sand kicked in your face”, while others will denote as building a lean physique for the summer, long after the heavy cover-ups of winter have been put in storage. Yet while each certainly profits from “sex appeal” and possessing an attractive physique, often it does not come via healthy options. The peculiarity of “building a beach body” that for many it does not mean “functionality”.

Since I began writing in the health, fitness and sports performance market I have learned that much of the public fails to understand that athletic development yields a tremendous physique that not only answers the call of athleticism but considered “attractive” to most. While the intent, or certainly my intent, is not to build a problem based upon aesthetics it comes as a by-product.

Effectively by training “correctly”, you will not only build a highly “functional physique” as well go well beyond your goals of “building the beach body”. As I forewarned on the USPlabs forum, I would have a few surprises with this series because “building the beach body” goes well beyond “a few sets of bicep curls” but possessing a functionally fit and healthy physique.
