Claymaker 52% Off Sale Until Super Bowl Sunday

Thursday, February 3rd, 2011
As promised, we’re holding a special 52% Off “Claymaker Sale” Until Super Bowl Sunday.
Fabio ain’t got nuthin’ on Clay!!
Just enter the following coupon code prior to check out where it asks “have a coupon code?”:
claymaker52
I realize we have like a million products to choose from in the store… so here are my personal recommendations based on what’s the hottest right now:
1.) Boxing Intervals- 3 Minutes On, 1 Minute Off: 60 Minutes
- Perfect for boxing, cardio kickboxing, and MMA classes

- Provides tons of general fitness applications including supersets, trisets, circuits, complexes, density training, cardio intervals, and much more!

- Automate your personal workouts or group exercise classes as the music tells you exactly what to do!

I also love this template for a damage control workout before a free meal or a big party/event… like the Super Bowl for example ;)
It also features one of our new musicians Aaron Berg AKA El Carnicero
Click below for more info and to listen to audio samples:
2.) Lee Taft’s Speed Soundtracks: 5-35 Linear, 7-35 Lateral, 10-50 Linear and Lateral Combo, and 15-45 Agility Conditioning
I’ve been using these Speed Tracks and the great workouts that world famous speed expert Lee Taft put together for them with my 16-year old brother on his speed training days.
Bottom line- they flat out work and my lil bro is getting faster and more agile and his movement quality is starting to get really sharp.
If you work with high school, college, or pro athletes, these tracks will automate your speed training sessions like clockwork.
I also know of some bootcamp owners like Justin Yule using these tracks for cardio interval workouts on T and TH to complement his M, W, F strength workouts. Here’s what Justin posted on Facebook this morning:

Justin Yule’s Fitness Revolution It’s always fun, yes FUN, to start your day off with some speed and agility work…especially when it’s designed by the great Lee Taft. Thanks for partnering with BJ Gaddour and Workout Muse to create Speed Soundtracks. My members and I LOVE THEM!!

Plus, they feature music by one of our new musicians Shalyse Dominique

Click below for more info and to listen to audio samples:
3.) Soundtrack of the Month 3-Pack- Ladder Intervals: Continuous 30-Second Movement Ladders, 15-30-45-60-60-45-30-15 Pyramid Interval Trisets, 10-20-30 Ascending and Descending Ladder Interval Circuits
Ladder intervals are dynamic in nature and have the following benefits over the traditional static single interval protocols:

- Shock the body with multiple interval protocols within the same workout to bust through any frustrating training plateau

- The constant change in work periods makes for a more fun, fresh, and exciting workout

- Allow you to gradually build up from easier work periods to more intense work periods and visa versa

- Provides for more complete energy system development and a total metabolic workout. It also allows you to train different muscle qualities within the same workout by performing work periods of various lengths and intensities as outlined below:

- A movement ladder allows you to place higher-priority movements earlier in the ladder to get more work on them and strengthen your weaknesses. For example, if your right leg is stronger than your left leg, place left leg movements earlier in the ladder to achieve greater training volume and to help eliminate the strength imbalance.

I should also note that the 15-30-45-60-60-45-30-15 Pyramid Interval Trisets track powered what many of my campers claimed to be the workout of the year in 2010!!

30-Second Complexes Challenge Workout with Boxing Intervals Track

Tuesday, January 25th, 2011
30-Second Complexes Challenge Workout with Boxing Intervals Track

Time for yet another challenge workouts using our brand new Boxing Interval Soundtrack or the brand new iWorkout Muse PRO app for the iPhone and iPod Touch!

For those of you who are unfamiliar with boxing, a fight consists of 3 minute rounds with 1 minute between rounds.

And to reiterate, the point of these challenge workouts is to simply use boxing intervals with classic resistance training exercises rather than actually box (though of course these tracks work great for that too!).

Last week I shared the 3-minute push-up and the 3-minute crazy legs challenges.

Today I challenge you to perform the following 30-Second Succession Complexes Workout:

KB Complex

1- 1-Arm Rotational Clean (L)
2- 1-Arm Rotational Clean (R)
3- 2-Arm Swings
4- Goblet Squats
5- 1-Arm Suitcase Deadlift (L)
6- 1-Arm Suitcase Deadlift (R)

Bodyweight

1- Side Pillar (L)
2- Side Pillar (R)
3- Push-ups
4- Lunge (L)
5- Lunge (R)
6- Squats

And here’s a video showing you how to do each challenge with a couple tips for best performance:



Plus, just in case you don’t have an iPhone or iPod Touch, we’re giving you a free 4-minute sample of the boxing intervals track so that EVERYONE can participate:

http://bit.ly/hYa31o

It only takes 3 minutes and we want you to give it a shot baby!

Please visit our FB fan page after you complete the challenge and let us know how you did:

http://www.facebook.com/workoutmuse

We will randomly selecting one of the most eager participants and the winner will be gifted the brand new iWorkout Muse PRO app for the iPhone and iPod Touch, or we can gift it to a friend, family member, or camper/client in case they don’t have the necessary device(s).

The winner could also opt to get the complete boxing intervals soundtrack on the house as well- the choice is yours!

I can’t wait to hear how you guys did on this and I’ll be posting my total on the WM FB fan page  later today as well (though it’s gonna be rough since I already worked out this morning, haha).

The 3 Minute Crazy Legs Challenge Workout

Thursday, January 20th, 2011

Time for another challenge workouts using our brand new Boxing Interval Soundtrack or the brand new iWorkout Muse PRO app for the iPhone and iPod Touch!

For those of you who are unfamiliar with boxing, a fight consists of 3 minute rounds with 1 minute between rounds.

And to reiterate, the point of these challenge workouts is to simply use boxing intervals with classic resistance training exercises rather than actually box (though of course these tracks work great for that too!).

The other day I shared the 3-minute push-up challenge which consisted of performing max reps of push-ups in 3 minutes.

I personally knocked out 40 TRX Atomic Push-ups in 3 minutes and frankly could have done a lot better had I not performed the reps so slowly in the beginning- practice makes perfect, right ;)

Anyways, today’s challenge consists of performing a single-leg exercise for a certain number of reps for max rounds in 3 minutes- yet another unique way to to use the 3 minutes on, 1 minute off interval template!

So, here’s the second challenge workout, The 3-Minute Crazy Legs Challenge:

Bodyweight Challenge: Split Squats

Beginner- Max rounds of 3/leg in 3 minutes
Intermediate- Max rounds of 6/leg in 3 minutes
Advanced- Max rounds of 10/leg in 3 minutes

Equipment Challenge: TRX Single-Leg Squats

Beginner- Max rounds of 3/leg in 3 minutes
Intermediate- Max rounds of 6/leg in 3 minutes
Advanced- Max rounds of 10/leg in 3 minutes


And here’s a video showing you how to do each challenge with a couple tips for best performance:

Plus, just in case you don’t have an iPhone or iPod Touch, we’re giving you a free 4-minute sample of the boxing intervals track so that EVERYONE can participate:

Rope Undulation Workout Set to Tabata Interval Training Fitness Music

Tuesday, April 7th, 2009

Recently I hooked our gym up with a pair of 50 foot 2-inch thick ropes to mix up my training… it has been awesome!

Ropes allow for a great total body workout that is very low impact on the joints. Furthermore, I have been able to get my heart rate up as high with the ropes as I do with running sprints… no joke!

Plus, you can further crank up the intensity by wearing a weight vest.

Take a look at a couple 4-minute tabata interval training workouts using undulation rope exercises:

In the second video, I experimented with some rope exercises on unstable surfaces and it was killer:

Just thought I’d share what’s been working for me… time to get ripped with ropes ;)

Crank it!
