[Winterstick549]

Why do we pay for excercise videos? YouTubes got it all! Steely Dan to Swiss Balls, I love YouTube!,,,,hahaha.

[W00lyBully]

@Winterstick549 steely dan are doing workout videos now?

[Winterstick549]

@W00lyBully errr, must be how they are still going strong ;)

[pandaweige]

wht size ball is that?

[hypno63]

@Elno The exercise matters not who's gay. It makes no diff to me if the instructor is gay, this isn't a date!

[elnopalmascubano]

i notice that some guys that workout lean towards the gay side. they don't admit it openly, but when i check out their profiles make me go hhmmm; for example, their comments, their friends, and all the gorgeous models they have as friends. Retro sexual guys tend to look at other guys and like they see. Am i wrong? give me your opinion without attacking me. thx

[MrLag1337]

@elnopalmascubano there are gay guys that dont work out as well... you have absolutely no point.

[JUNKGEE83]

3:30 NOT GOOD FOR YOUR KNEES

[mootehopsgirl82]

[econutterj]

[katiemcilvaney]

He is gorgeous and a pleasure to watch a learn.

[maohuerta]

[neworleansguy10]

Mmmm. Chris Comfort. TOTAL babe! Wish I lived in LA so I could train with him. Guess these vids will have to do.

Congrats on achieving such a fantastic body, Chris.

[CSKxo]

HE IS SOOOO FIT.

[kovpela]

Woooof!:)

[xyo99]

The rutine looks like a litltle complicate but I think it works!

[kingtate5]

retard goon

[drgw1982]

Is this Shaq, the basketball player?

[jptravers]

Yes.

[Mindmatters101]

Great video. I like the fact that you give sensible advice, telling people that some exercises are advanced, and what muscle groups they work. Thank you, there are very few fitness instructors like you!

[19jaw19knee19]

slluuuuuuuuuuurp

[eve49er]

great shirt superman ....

[fitnesshealthguy]

I used the Abs IQ six pack abs program by Bogumil Gizewski and found it to be very easy to follow and very effective. In Abs IQ Mr Gizewski teaches you how to work smarter not harder to get nice abs.

[whyusweatinmeG]

he looks like kurt warner

[booboosmack]

No he doesn't

[nightshot103]

tell me why he doesn't ;)

[booboosmack]

Well for one he doesn't have a grey beard!

[roberti12345]

great vid!!& sik shirt

[drobilica]

I think that man is f****ing handsome. Come on, just look at that face!!

[nightshot103]

you just need him to take care of you and your kid.

[pariapsara]

The smooth shiny floor will cause the ball to skid and move.

Should I put a yoga mat under the ball to stabilize it ??? Or will that defeat the purpose of strengthening the core??/

[ContrastY]

these exercises are harder than they appear because you have to maintain your balance on the stability ball.

but the exercises do work, are fun and a stability balls only costs between 20 and 40 dollars.

[azndude001]

heart heart

lets hookup! jW

[nightshot103]

if you excercise with his advice, your body will end up looking like his.

[del525i]

Very good vid. Most of the excercises are quite easy, but 1 or 2 of them look a little more challenging! Everyone who is interested in keeping fit should get a gym-ball.

[kogykapoto]

very good

[Lachs10]

he would be wearing a superman t-shirt

[starsoftrackandfield]

this might be a really obvoius point to make but I've yet to find the "correct" answer... BUT, doesn't how inflated the swiss ball is (i.e. to what pressure, how bouncy it is) affect how difficult these exercises are?

The prone walk out must get harder as the pressure increases (as the ball is more "wobbly") but I imagine the drop & recover is made easier by having the ball inflated to high pressure (more "upthrust").

Is there a general rule for inflation?

[furiouscurious]

typically whatever packaging the ball comes in will tell you air pressure recommendation

[payamabed]

its pretty good,im trying and works really good.

[Vocab27]

o his doing the V sit 'Bruce lee' backward wow

[andrefd]

this guy rules!!

Very good pronounce and excelent exercises!!

Does anyone knows the size of this ball?

[Sinnister81]

Can anyone tell me how many reps per exercise we should be doing and how many sets total? How much rest time between exercises etc?

[donerlich]

Don't treat ab exercises like general lean muscle building exercises (hypertrophy training) which generally uses a 8-12 rep range. Do as many reps as you can in good form until you can't do anymore, as in, the target ab muscle groups gets too tired to continue. Continuing on beyond this point will only lead to injury. Try 60-90 secs rest at first and experiment with yourself to see how much rest you need. 2 mins+ would generally be considered to be too much.

[gellsta]

would u be able to explain "why" you wouldnt give abs the same hypertrophy training as the rest of the body? it is a muscle just like every other muscle, it does not get exessivly used during the day such as muscles like the calves. theirfore it shouldnt have any different special treatment or training

[donerlich]

I guess by ab excercises I would mean, in this case, core excercises training core muscles etc.

hypertrophy

An increase in the size of a tissue or organ due to growth of individual cells without an increase in the number of cells.

Normally you wouldn't associate significant muscle cell enlargement with core muscles, perhaps only with your rectus abdominus/six pack. Having said that, if want to increase the size of your abs, go right ahead, nothing technically wrong with that.

[skymon]

awesome video, great tips.

[reny16]

Wow =^.~=

[ennamopo]

[sue01234567890]

There is nothing better than watching a really sexy guy working out!

[kate104]

it's true. i had stress fractures in my back and the majority of my physical therapy for it was done with an exercise ball.

[kgonepostl]

It's hot in my room i'm gonna turn on the air conditioner

[JohnEmbry]

Very nicely presented. Well demonstrated and knowledgeable. Excellent delivery with no "you know", "I mean", "like", etc. Will keep watching to swe what else you offer.

[JunniorBR]

Hello Chris, I loved the exercise with ball,usually I skip this part of the exercise because I think is borring, However, I will try your away ,it looks like more interesting. I have a question if you don't mind where I can find your superman t'shirt is very coll? thanks and good look.

[b0dyacti0n]

i wish to see you more in videos...really good stuff youre showing..the best thing is that you explain well..and not show-off...so far you got 2 vids..right??

[chriscomfortfitness]

Actually, this is the forth so far. Also, I will be shooting part 2 of the push ups and the first of the abs series today. They'll be posted in the next couple of weeks.

[xandre111]

which state are u from?

[JessicaSue]

Hey Chris, you're hot. Thanks for the exercises...just bought a Swiss the other day, and I was looking for some moves to do on it.

[benwahballboy]

Don't forget to stretch, otherwise you might pull a muscle in your leg and have a midlife crisis on the set of a movie and quit on day one...

[lukygirl314]

Thanks for this video Chris. I really appreciate this because it's easy and everyone can do it :)

[sw1q]

Thank you for posting these excercises, I've had three hip replacements and these techniques will help me to access the specific muscles, those which tend to wake me from sleep during the night because of spasms.

Cheers.

del-boy.

[chriscomfortfitness]

Make sure you consult your doctor before trying any of these exercises if you have had surgery or are dealing with pain. I know that there are specific ranges of motion that you should avoid after hip replacement for example.

Chris

[sw1q]

Dear Chris,

Thank you for your response; yes, you are absolutely right to caution.

My doctor died, now I see his replacement; my first hip replacement was twenty nine years ago, I am used to the constraints.

Cheers.

del-boy.

[b0dyacti0n]
