We've all seen, admired and possibly resented the images on television and huge advertising hoardings. The sculptured, taut bodies of beautiful men, sporting a six pack like a rippling badge of manliness. This, according to the marketing world is what 'real men' look like.

Looking for a Summer activity? First Defense Krav Maga has something for every member of the family! KRAV MAGA FOUNDATIONS COURSES These 8-week courses are designed to give you an overview of the system of Krav Maga. Each week, we'll cover a specific theme or scenario, such as releases from chokes and defending yourself on the ground.

There are so many positive reasons to hire a personal trainer that once you start entertaining the idea, it's hard to come up with valid arguments not to. In fact, you might even wonder why you've not taken on the guidance of a fitness expert already.

You are invited to a two-hour, hands-on seminar on Krav Maga, the effective self-defense system from the Israeli Defense Forces.  Topics will include defenses against common attacks (punches and kicks), grab, chokes, strangles, and even threats with weapons (e.g., knives, guns).   When: Sunday, May 19, 5:00 - 7:00 pm Where: field across from the parking lot of Ohr Kodesh Congregation, 8300 Meadowbrook Lane, Chevy Chase, MD Cost: Tuition for the first 10 registered students is only $20.  Tuition for other registered students is $25.

Ever worked out only to find you're not getting the results that you envisioned? Or have you found that you simply don't feel at your best despite following a dedicated fitness regime? Is your battle with the bulge less than victorious? Or do you compare yourself to others only to see that you're falling behind? If could be that you are making some classic workout mistakes!

You've motivated yourself to get fit and acted on this, so surely this should be enough to reach your goals right? Well, only if you're not making mistakes that are working against you and preventing you from looking and feeling great.

First Defense is now in Chevy Chase! We are there every Monday evening (except on Holidays) from 7:30-9:00pm. The location is: Ohr Kodesh Congregation 8300 Meadowbrook Lane Chevy Chase, MD 20815 Want to check us out? The first Monday of every month is a "First Timers" class, so you can just drop in, no experience necessary.

Runners love to talk about their passion: how far they cover each day, their preparation for the next race and the joys of a runner's high. Quite often you'll hear them moaning about their aches and cramps too, but these sprains and pains can be avoided.

While many men thrive on exercise, some have a hard time getting themselves motivated to work out. So how can you get yourself in the mood to get fit and stay fit? What motivational mantras can inspire men to get off the sofa and do something a little more interesting instead? Perhaps the promise of a buff body and toned masculine physique is all it takes!

Be like Beckham! Sculpt your six pack and perfect those pecs! Be a metrosexual muscleman! These days men are under as much pressure as women to have the perfect body.
