AboutRick Karboviak Expertise ATTENTION: I will not be taking any more questions from kids, ages 17 & under, through this site. If any kid wants some help, their parent must ask the question.
Plese be specific, no more "I need to gain weight and get a 6-pack, pleeez help, thanx" types of questions. I will no longer reply to these.
I can help you with most questions regarding strength training for a wide variety of sports, primarily for the youth, high school, college, and recreational athlete levels. I can also assist with general fitness concerns.
I also will not respond to generic "I need to lose weight fast, please help' type of questions either. This is a waste of my time. You need a strategy, not a program alone, for this type of assistance.
Also, I DO NOT GIVE PROGRAMS through this service. Do not ask for any program, please, because chances are that I know nothing about you to even begin creating a program. As a professional, I need many pieces of information to even begin constructing something for my client, and this sometimes takes up to 45 minutes in a face-to-face visit. There's just no way I can do it in one email!
Thank you.

Question -
May you tell me any exercises that will strengtyhen my abs and arms. Please nothe that I don't have a weight lifting machine. Thank you for any help you may provide.
Answer -
Brandon,
By purchasing a set of adjustable weight dumbbells, plus a stability ball, you'll have plenty of exercises to choose from to work on your abs & arms. There are too many exercises to mention for these body parts, which can be done with these items. Just about any of the top search engine results on dumbbell exercises should have pictures & descriptions for you.
I have a website, www.fitnessgenerator.com/rkarboviak, in which I can create specialized programs through for people, all online. Each program has animations to help you with the correct technique.
Good luck, and stay strong!

Is there anything i can do without dumbells?
Answer A few bodyweight exercises, such as lunges, squats, pushups, situps, and pull-ups are at your disposal. There are many ways to make the exercises more challenging or different. The tried & true pushup & pullup can work your arms, chest, & back tremendously. Why do you think the military has it in their training components? Because its effective and can be done almost anywhere. I would suggest searching for some 'boot camp' style workouts for bodyweight only exercises. I have a Navy SEALs training book which I have a lot of choices from, for doing a 'boot camp' workout class. I'm sure there's some programs online you could find, or at least sample workouts.
