Do I Look Stupid?

Monday, May 31st, 2010

Wait, don’t answer.

Actually it was really meant to be more of a rhetorical question.  Plus it was rhetorically aimed at some news and research dorks. So don’t answer.

So why did I even ask the question?  Well you see this past week a study came out the said exercise does not boost metabolism.  Yes, they claimed exercise  DOES NOT boost metabolism.

So that is why I posed the question: “Do I look stupid?” Because despite the above photographic evidence to the contrary, I am not. (So stop laughing.)

Static Shock

Friday, May 14th, 2010

Here is a workout we did with our bootcamp the other day.  It’s a very basic but ass-kicking bodyweight workout that should do you in in only 20-25 minutes (plus you can do it about anywhere).  It involves static contractions coupled with similar dynamic moves.  Check out the video…

Here it is, for 5 total rounds…

A1) Plank x 60 secs
A2) Toe Touches x 10 reps
B1) Wall Squat x 60 secs
B2) Jump Squats x 10 Reps
C1) Push Ups Planks x 60 secs
C2) Push Ups x 10 Reps

My Top 3 Bad Habits

Friday, May 14th, 2010

I have never said I was perfect.  Oh wait – yeah I have.

Ok, I have never said I was better than anyone else.  Oh… actually I’ve done that too.

Hmmm…

How about this:  when I said or implied either of the above things I was lying my ass off.  Ok, there we go-  that sounds about right.

            Lindsay Lohan            Some people truly believe that because I am a trainer and pretty damn good at my job that I must always be perfect.  While it is true that I do not drink, smoke or gamble, I am not exactly Amish either.

Belly Transformation 2.0 (video)

Monday, May 10th, 2010

Hey Gang,

Today is the official launch of the “6 Week Body BELLY Transformation Program”

As you know I only had 15 spots for the 6 Week Body BELLY Transformation program, but one ultra-determined person tracked me down at the gym yesterday morning and signed up on the spot (LOVE THAT)– so now there are only 14 spots left.

You already know that this amped up and *SUPERCHARGED* 6 Week Body BELLY Transformation program will work wonders for you (where other programs have failed you miserably) but instead of me writing out all the cool changes, this time around I made this video that explains it all (including how you can get 50% OFF)…

A Worthy Cause…

Tuesday, May 4th, 2010

A good friend of mine and client Melinda Crown is helping to organize and amazing event.  It is called “Hold ‘em For the Homeless” – a Celebrity Poker Tournament and Live Auction to benefit the Malibu House of Hope (MHOH). 

Malibu House of Hope is a non-profit organization that provides housing, food, social work, schooling and job training for homeless children and young adults, helping the hopeless and the too-often overlooked to transform their lives and give them the second chance they desperately need and deserve.  The National Coalition for the Homeless reports that there are 1.35 million children who are homeless on any given night in this country, with a majority of them runaways, escaping extremely abusive home environments.  The mission of MHOH is to make sure that no child is left outside.
