Bands vs. Bells Part III

Thursday, February 18th, 2010

This past weekend at the IYCA Summit in Louisville, Kentucky, Dave “The Band Man” Schmitz and I got in some killer workouts at “The Prestigious Brown Hotel.”

During one 40-20 workout we did together, we decided to go head to head in a resistance band versus kettlebell workout.

Needless to say it was interesting and super intense ;)

Resistance Band Training Spartacus Workout

Sunday, January 17th, 2010

Just received the first submission for the BUILD-YOUR-OWN Spartacus Workout Challenge…

No surprise that it’s Dave “The Band Man” Schmitz with a killer 10-exercise circuit using only resistance band exercises and the 60-15 Spartacus Workout Soundtrack.

You’ve gotta watch Dave crank this routine out in the videos below:

Dave’s workout is going to be tough to beat, but I’m expecting more killer and innovative routines from our valued WM followers… you have until Friday, January 15th to submit your own unique 60-15 Ten-Exercise Circuit for the Spartacus Workout Challenge.

All YouTube workout video submissions must be posted to the following blog post for my review, so click the link below or copy and paste it into your browser:

http://www.workoutmuse.com/the-spartacus-workout-soundtrack

Simply do what Dave did and make 2 separate videos in order to fit them onto youtube OR shoot 15-20 s highlights for each exercises- youtube videos need to be under 10 minutes in length in order to be uploaded FYI.

I promise I will be as objective as possible in choosing the winner- but there can only be one!

The winner will receive either their WM product of choice OR a free month to the new Bootcamp Automator membership site which launches the first week of February, whichever he/she prefers.

I will be considering videos on a first-come, first-serve basis… so HURRY!!

Who’s gonna make the best, most unique 60-15 workout of all time… is it you??

Crank it!

SpartacusWorkoutSoudtrack

When I read the latest issue of Men’s Health about The Spartacus Workout, I immediately went back home and got on the phone with our sound designers to put together a custom 60-15 interval workout music track to help you and other contestants/readers automate the workout.

America’s Best Fitness Bootcamps Use Workout Muse!

Thursday, January 7th, 2010

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again…

America’s Best Fitness Bootcamps (and The World’s Best Fitness Bootcamps) Use Workout Muse to power their group workouts.

Why??

Because the music inspires movement and tells your campers exactly what to do so you can be a true fitness professional and do what you do best: coach and motivate the hell out of your clients to best results-producing workouts of their lives!

Not only do our interval workout music soundtracks make the life of fitness pros so much easier, it also ensures better client results AND goes a long way in bolstering injury prevention.

Just take a look at the NBC Connecticut feature on one of our WM superstars Tyler English and his killer Farmington Valley Fitness Bootcamps:

Look at the energy in that workout… the atmosphere… the drive… unparalleled.

Tyler English runs a SERIOUS fitness business- not just a bunch of personality-based random bootcamp workouts that any chump off the street can pull off.

He has a true training system that changes bodies like clcokwork and it’s all powered by Workout Muse.

Tyler English runs a fat loss factory… DO YOU???

Tyler is also a member of Our Bootcamp Blueprint Business Coaching Program and he is also a remote site for this Saturday’s Workout Worldwide.

Tyler is one of the best bootcamp instructors in the world because he has put in the work and has invested in himself time and time again to get better each and every day… and he uses Workout Muse… I hope you can see the connection ;)

Crank it!

BJ

PS- I couldn’t be more proud of Tyler- he’s just one of those guys that gets it done and will do whatever it takes to help change peoples’ live… I’m happy to call him a friend!

TylerEnglishPro

PPS- If you live or know of anyone who lives in Canton, Connecticut, then you absolutely need to send them the link below to hook up with Tyler English Fitness as you just watched a legend in the making:
