10 Reasons NOT to Go to the Gym!

Monday, February 23rd, 2009

I remember the days when I used to workout at a gym exclusively.

I used to think it was absolutely necessary to be in a gym to get results- that a good workout required you to be in a health club or weight lifting room of some sort.

Today I find myself at the best point of my life, from both a business and fitness standpoint, and I haven’t stepped a foot in a typical gym for 16 months now.

In fact, I workout exclusively at home or in my boot camp training center, and all I have at these two places is space and the following training equipment: bands, dumbbells, kettlebells, med balls, and a couple other user and budget friendly implements to mix things up from time to time. (more…)

As of recently I’ve been getting lots of questions about how to implement partner training into your own personal workouts and/or your boot camp workouts.

So today I shot a quick highlight reel of my 6 am Get Sexy Boot Camp Workout here in tropical Milwaukee, WI (well, it was in the 40’s today, not too shabby) featuring, you guessed it, partner training workouts ;) (more…)

The President’s Day Workout- Barack Obama Style

Sunday, February 15th, 2009

This President’s Day clearly signifies a special moment in history. Regardless of your political views, the recent election of President Barack Obama has brought about change. Though we’ll have to let President Obama’s accomplishments in office dictate what type of change it will be, it is very clear that this is a man who was born to lead. Obama has an undeniable aura about him, a certain calming confidence that is truly contagious. These are traits he will surely need in the face of a continually dwindling economy and the many other challenges facing our world. (more…)

The World’s Greatest Workout DVDs Have Been Filmed!

Friday, February 13th, 2009

Man, oh man! We did it it everybody!

Below is a brief summary of what we accomplished in 3.5 days for the big WM DVD shoot:

- We shot over 1500 exercises and their corresponding variations for The Ultimate Exercise Database. You will be blown away with all of the new exercises I created- there are a ton I personally guarantee that you have never seen before!!!

- We filmed well over 60 Follow-Along Workout DVDs for people of all fitness levels that will be synched to the audio interval training Workout Muse technology that will forever change the way people workout in their home

-  We filmed my new 6-Pack Abs Anti-Crunch Blueprint which features the world’s best total body core workouts that involve no crunches and sit-ups

- We filmed Turn Back Time Fitness, a follow-along workout DVD series for seniors and tutorial for fitness pros regarding how to program for the senior and/or de-conditioned population

- We filmed The Ultimate Partner Training DVD which will feature some of the coolest, most unique partner exercise combos you will ever see if you want to spice up your own workouts with a buddy or you are a fitness pro looking to implement partner workouts in your boot camp. My fiance, Naomi, and I just want to town for several hours and knocked as many different buddy workouts as possible!

- We filmed The Ultimate Fitness Boot Camp DVD teaching trainers how to run killer boot camps like we do, with a special LIVE Get Sexy Boot Camp Demo Workout called “A Circuit within a Circuit” that tested the souls of my boot campers!

- We filmed The Ultimate Regeneration DVD featuring the best corrective stretching and self-massage exercises to keep your body pain and injury-free year round.

I know, I’m forgetting something, but I think you get the point…

WE ACCOMPLISHED A LOT!!!

It seems like for a long time I was just holding off and waiting for the perfect opportunity to make my first DVDs.

But like anything in life, there is NEVER the perfect time to start, so I finally just called James Dunn (our videographer and a helluva guy) and locked in some dates.

After we finished yesterday, though I was fried and sore as hell, I felt the most amazing feeling of accomplishment and such pride that I finally set a deadline to get all of the body and life-changing content on film so it can be spread to the masses.

I need you to think about whatever it is that you have been waiting to get done and simply set that deadline and put that plan into action.

Whether it’s burning your baby fat and getting your body back…

Or finally doing a perfect pull-up…

Or starting your first fitness boot camp to help more people and better leverage your valuable time…

Whatever it is that you want to do… start TODAY by setting some deadlines and sticking to them.

And you know what, you can help keep yourself accountable by posting your goal(s) and corresponding deadline(s) to this blog post… sound like a plan?

Let’s do it together baby…

Crank it!
