Thanksgiving UN-stuffing (free training)

Tuesday, November 22nd, 2011

The Official 4th Annual Thanksgiving UN-Stuffing Workout – *FREE*

The great day of eating yourself sleepy, giving thanks for all our blessing is nearly upon us. If you recall, in years past I adopted a particular Thanksgiving eating strategy that I think I will make a tradition. (You can re-check out that article here: Happy Thanksgiving: “F” Moderation . )

So before you drown yourself in gravy, bury your self in mashed potatoes and pound down any pie I suggest you earn it. Yes, you must *EARN* that cheat.

The Unstoppable Force and the Immovable Object

Thursday, November 18th, 2010

WARNING: This post is for grown ups who are not offended by frank language. If you can’t handle a bleeped out 4 letter word do not read this post. If you think you have what it takes, keep reading.

I’m sure you have heard the term “paradox”. The dictionary defines paradox as “a statement or proposition that seems self-contradictory or absurd but in reality expresses a possible truth.”

They are basically clever sayings that screw with your head. Like can God create a stone that was so heavy even he could not pick it up?

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.)

Hey gang,

Until midnight on Friday (or until all the spots are taken) you can get my 6 Week Body BELLY Transformations Program for HALF OFF and get you ready for summer.

End of the Road

Thursday, April 1st, 2010

Life is funny thing. It is full of ups and downs, in and outs. And when you least expect it, you get a smack in the face- a wake up call.

Two days ago I got my smack: An epiphany if you will.

So here it is…

I have been lifting for over twenty years. And for the most part they have been good to me, but it is time for a change. And that is why this is a decision I do not take lightly.

Pants Lie

Tuesday, March 9th, 2010

I came to a harsh and startling realization the other day: my pants have been lying to me. I know it’s hard to believe, but pants are liars. Big fat liars. I suspect dresses are liars too, but I have no first hand experience with dresses (why? what did you hear?)

Someone should have clued Hammer in,
his pants were lying to him for years…

No long ago when I started my one of my 6 Week Body Transformation programs, I asked all of the participants to take measurements. For they guys, it was the waist I was interested in, for the women it was waist and hips. So after one guy didn’t email me with his measurements I asked him during the session.

100 Rep Workout: The Game

Wednesday, February 17th, 2010

For me, the name of the game is fast workouts. I should say fast, effective workouts (who wants a fast workout that doesn’t do s#^t right?). So I am always looking for creative ways to craft superior workouts that are quick, effective and have the power to boost the metabolism for 24-48 hours.

As an added bonus I love it when they are portable (I can do it anywhere).

The other day I saw one of the trainers at my facility doing something kinda interesting with his clients. So like any good boss I am stealing it and calling it my own (thanks Casey).

Ho Ho Hold on a Minute…

Tuesday, December 22nd, 2009

Let me ask you, have you recently been mistaken for Santa (or Mrs.) Claus?

Are random kids jumping on your lap, telling you what they want for Christmas and that the have “good” all year?

Do people ask you where you parked your sleigh?

Are you shoes caked with crusty reindeer poop?

Are elves following you?

Are you unusually jolly?

When you laugh does anyone point and say “Hey look, a bowl full of jelly!”?

Yeah, there’s a lot of that going around this time of year. And I can help you avoid further embarrassment and confusion.

Dem Bones

Tuesday, November 17th, 2009

Living your life by the roll of the dice. Ooohh, it sounds so sexy and devious.

Ok, that might be a bit much.

So while you might not want your fate determined by the toss of dice, how about let it determine your workout?

I thought I would share with you one of my workout tricks. It is pretty much an anywhere / anytime type of workout so it is great for when you are stuck at home or when you travel.

I call this workout “Dem Bones” and I use it when I need to shake things up with clients & bootcamps

100 Reps, 4 Months & 52 Pounds

Monday, November 9th, 2009

John started on June 1st, 2009 at Carter Fitness. As he has been Mr. Consistency (he never misses a session) I had quite honestly completely forgotten what he looked like when he walked though my doors 4 months ago.

Then today John emailed me this pic to remind me:

Big John

I remember John told me on day 1 he was committed. But again to be honest I hear that a lot.

But as it turns out “committed” is an understatement.
