I have had people tell me that they will start training or join a gym after they lose some weight. They need to look better before they can show up I guess. The only time to start is today! In fact the best way to learn something new is to try and fail. Those lessons [...]
Are you feeling fit and looking better than ever? Christmas parties are here and New Years resolutions are right around the corner. Do you make resolutions every year? Do you keep them?
I don’t make resolutions each year. I keep a journal and write down goals and aspirations regularly. Also as a personal trainer I have [...]
Here we see Karen working legs. First up is one of the great leg exercises you can do. LADIES! This exercise works the quads and glutes in a functional running position. So balance, stabilization and core strength are all challenged during this exercise. When you do a machine leg press, most do not require balance, [...]
1) Train with Stanimal. If you did train with stanimal you would have increased strength and vitality, improved joint stability, reduced body fat and better cardiovascular performance. Unfortunately I can only train a few folks.
But you need to exercise. We all know this. 30 minutes every day break a sweat from exercising. The end.

Haley is pregnant. Who would’ve guessed. She is exercising just like always. She feels better when she works out. She and the baby will be healthier because of it. And she will recover faster after the baby is born.
Please no excuses about not working out. They just don’t hold water.
Ouch, bad pun.
Here is Greg doing a pretty challenging exercise for the abs. He is using a good sized kettlebell in one hand and the opposing leg is off the floor with his back on the Bosu. This creates a very unstable situation which requires very strong core muscles to stabilize the whole effort.If you are just [...]
Birthday today so I’m thinking about age just a little. This is me tossing the sandbag.Check out this woman Beatriz Maullins. She is bench pressing at 87. See her story here.
Just got back from vacation, a little recharge of the batteries. Colorado is very pretty. Besides all the hiking and walking I only managed one workout. I went to a place called Planet Fitness. It was an interesting step back in time, late 80’s early 90’s maybe. There were a good selection of equipment, new [...]
I built some new plyo boxes. Aren’t they beautiful and functional. Get it. Functional training. Eh..
Yes, I am finally adding some plyometrics back into my workouts. Skaters side to side over the small box, or power step ups. These are great additions to a circuit or interval routine. Depth jumps and power chins are all [...]
Overheard at the gym yesterday.
Trainer drinking red fluid from a plastic bottle. I think it was some sort of energy drink.
His client asks, “How much sugar is in that?”
Trainer, “Only about 15 grams, oh wait there are 2 and a half servings in here.”
So this corporation is calling 20 ounces 2 and a half servings. [...]
