What can I do to get a six pack before 2016?

I've read a lot of fitness journals, carried out a lot of fitness trainings, coached many to have amazing body structure, and the answer in a nutshell is to:

Probably one of the craziest weight gains for movies is when Christian Bale bulked 60 pounds for Batman after the role in Machinist.

I'd say the key principles in gaining weight fast (or gaining muscle in general) are:

HOW SITTING WRECKS YOUR BODY- 5 Stretches to Reverse the Effects of Sitting

This is what happens to the spine with prolonged sitting.

Notice the increase arch in the spine, which pushes the stomach and hips forward.

Humans weren’t meant to sit for 8 hours a day, then commute for another hour in the car. Over time, office workers develop tight backs, arthritic necks (from staring at monitors all day), and hips that pull and tug at the lower back causing pain and muscle weakness. I’ve seen it time and time again and as a personal trainer it pains me to think that no one is really addressing this issue with a substantial amount of attention. As a way to keep the hips loose and flexible, it’s important that you stretch before work, during and even after. Here are my top 5 stretches to reverse the effects of sitting.

A frequent complaint among women during the sunny seasons is that unsightly skin that rests between your armpit and your chest. While body fat could be the culprit, changing your diet alone won’t always solve this issue. If you’ve noticed, women with implants have very little of this extra tissue. That’s because increasing the size of your chest by adding muscle or implants (in their case), can fill out that skin. Doing chest exercises paired with back exercises can help fill out that problem area.

At State Dinner, Michelle Obama Grabs Back the Spotlight

Friday night may have been a watershed for Michelle Obama. At the White House dinner for the Chinese president, Xi Jinping, the first lady summoned previously untapped, and perhaps unsuspected, reserves of glamour.

Her long side-swept hair and black off-the-shoulder gown by the Chinese-American designer Vera Wang revealed an acute political savvy that was more than mere words could convey.

Had Flotus gone Hollywood? Not quite. But her red-carpet-worthy turnout, evocative of Beyoncé at the top of her form, seemed especially well timed, inciting, predictably, an outpouring of mostly upbeat social commentary that eclipsed the event and

The movie “Steve Jobs” had all the makings of a Hollywood blockbuster.

It had a starry cast (Kate Winslet, Jeff Daniels, Michael Fassbender). The screenplay was by the acclaimed writer Aaron Sorkin (who also wrote “The Social Network”). And it received rave reviews (“‘Steve Jobs’ is a rich and potent document of the times,” wrote my colleague A.O. Scott.)

But the movie tanked at the box office, earning about $18 million in the seven weeks after its Oct. 9 release. Perhaps Hollywood had overestimated the public’s fascination with the man. Perhaps the film came a couple of years too late or a couple of decades too early. Or perhaps we have Steve Jobs fatigue, after all the books, movies and documentaries on the visionary Apple co-founder.

Tell me if this sounds familiar: You want to work out, but you're tight on time and don't know where to start. The struggle is real!

When it comes to quick workouts, it's best to plan ahead. Here are some go-to routines when you only have 15 minutes. Now you've got five great workout options, and only two requires equipment.

BLOOD WILL FLOW: ISIS WARNS UK (PHOTOS)

The Islamic State terror group has threatened Britain with suicide bombings in a new video released as British MPs voted to extend airstrikes to Syria earlier this week.

Liberty University president Jerry Falwell Jr. urged students Friday to carry concealed weapons on campus to counter any possible armed attack, saying that “we could end those Muslims before they walk in.”

“Let’s teach them a lesson if they ever show up here,” Falwell told students at the Christian school.

Falwell was met with rousing applause from students, but some said he went too far when he appeared to be referring specifically to Muslims, the Lynchburg News & Advance reported.

“I’ve always thought if more good people had concealed carry permits, then we could end those Muslims before they walked in,” Falwell said.

L-R: Obasanjo, Mahama

Ghanaian president, John Mahama and former Nigerian president, Olusegun Obasanjo have allegedly fought dirty over Goodluck Jonathan, the immediate past president of Nigeria.

Breast Implants Undergo Reconstruction (See Photos)

Hilary Miller’s breasts are not what they once were. Two children and many feedings later, they simply don’t have the perkiness of youth. “I’d like them to look the way they used to,” said Ms. Miller, who works at a beauty company in Dallas.

She has long wanted an augmentation, but she worried about silicone implants. Never mind that the Food and Drug Administration approved them in 2006, after they were removed from the market in 1992 while the F.D.A. evaluated their safety. After years of litigation and expert panel study, silicone gels were deemed safe, but the stigma has remained. Many women still fear “silent ruptures,” that is, tears that are undetectable without an M.R.I., which can cost thousands of dollars and usually isn’t covered by insurance. Many women also fear foreign substances coursing through their veins, worrying that they cause autoimmune diseases or cancer.

The leader of a Maoist cult used mind control to rape and abuse a female follower, a jury has heard.

The woman, 64, told Southwark Crown Court Aravindan Balakrishnan took a "wire brush to her brain" after she joined the group in the late 1970s.

She said the 75-year-old, of Enfield, had made her believe he "had the right over your mind and body".

Anxiety disorder

The world's oldest-known living cancer dates back 11,000 years, according to UK scientists.

It arose in a single dog and has survived in canines ever since, with the cancer cells passing between animals when they mate.

A team led by the Welcome Trust Sanger Institute near Cambridge decoded the DNA of the cancer.

It revealed the "genetic identikit" of an ancient husky-like dog, which first developed the disease.

The animal was of a medium size with a short, straight coat that was coloured grey-brown or black.

"We do not know why this particular individual gave rise to a transmissible cancer," said lead researcher Dr Elizabeth Murchison.

"But it is fascinating to look back in time and reconstruct the identity of this ancient dog, whose genome is still alive today in the cells of the cancer that it spawned."

A man has died with tumours made of cancerous parasitic worm tissue growing in his organs, doctors report.

The patient had HIV and his weakened immune system allowed the worm-cancer to flourish.

The unusual case was diagnosed through a collaboration between the US Centers for Disease Control and the UK's Natural History Museum.

Doctors said the case, detailed in the New England Journal of Medicine, was "crazy" and unusual.

Colombian doctors had tried to diagnose the 41-year-old man in 2013.

He had what appeared to be normal tumours, some more than 4 cm across, in his lungs, liver and elsewhere in his body.
