Thanksgiving UN-stuffing (free training)

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

thanksgiving_turkeyThe 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.

Labor (Day) Pains

Friday, September 3rd, 2010

labor-day Like most Americans,  I really do not have a good grasp on the real meaning of Labor Day. 

Like most Americans all I really know is the bottom line:  We get Monday off.

Yes, it all boils down to a 3 day weekend.

So in an effort to be more patriotic, conscientious and to honor the TRUE meaning of Labor Day I have decided to take action.

I am putting the “Labor” back in Labor Day – bootcamp style.

Monday morning at 9:30am I will be coaching a FREE bootcamp for any and all who wish to attend.

It’s the Metabolism Stupid

Saturday, August 14th, 2010

Big article, sorry.  I’ll use less words next time.

metabolism Too many trainees I see miss the forest for the trees. They are approaching their fat loss programs all wrong, and stagnating as a result.  A big thanks goes to the mainstream media for all the crap advice on ”cardio” being best for fat loss, ,ore on that in a minute.

Assuming the goal is fat loss, then metabolic optimization should be our primary focus.  Some of you might be shocked by my use of big words in that last sentence, so let me explain.

A Bad Way To Get Good News

Friday, July 30th, 2010

Imagine this:  Someone runs up to you and kicks you square in the jewels (or anywhere for that matter) and says “Congratulations, You just won a million dollars!”

Yeah, that would be a really bad way to get good news.  The good news about that bad blow is that that particular story is completely made up.  (Although I would have to give serious consideration to a million dollars vs. a kick to my boys. I mean, I am done having kids…)

goodnewsBut I digest.

So here is an absolutely true story of a REALLY bad way to get good news.

Do I Look Stupid?

Monday, May 31st, 2010

joshears

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.)

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?)

page0_blog_entry18_1
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?

1222santa-on-the-scaleAre 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.

Heart Warming News

Tuesday, December 8th, 2009

Did you ever have one of those days where everything went wrong?  From beginning to end, absolutely nothing went your way?  Those days seem to occur all to frequently.

Well yesterday was the exact OPPOSITE of that.

But let me start at what SHOULD have been the beginning of Gabe’s operation ordeal, last Friday.

(NOTE:  For those who missed the original posts, catch up by first reading Gabriel’s Heart, and then Put On Hold.)

Worst. Friday. Ever.
