Thinking Outside the Box with Cardio Intervals to Burn Fat

Thursday, February 24th, 2011
I’m a busy lil’ bee today making final prep for our big Bootcamp Automator LIVE event this weekend.
It’s basically a 2-day jam session of world class group personal training program with some of the top bootcamp owners on Earth.
Anyways, yesterday we released the first month of the new Rapid Fat Loss Cardio Tracks and I wanted to show you a new twist on how to use these tracks.
In essence, we’ll use a total body exercise for the work period and some sort of regeneration or recovery drill during the rest period rather than doing the old straight line running or monotonous elliptical stuff.
60-180 Workout#1-
60-seconds of maximum effort: Burpee + Push-up+ Jumping Pull-up
180-seconds of active recovery: self-massage, flexibility, and/or mobility/activation drills
60-180 Workout#2-
60-seconds of maximum effort: Extended ROM Double Kettlebell Clean and Press
180-seconds of active recovery: self-massage, flexibility, and/or mobility/activation drills
Advanced trainers can progress to 60-120 and then 60-60 intervals, as the smaller work to rest ratio really increases the training density (work per unit of time).
Listen to Lose Fat for a Great Cause!
We’ve just released month one of the RAPID FAT LOSS CARDIO 2.0 program and 90% of all proceeds for the rest of this month (being National Heart Month) will go to the American Heart Association (AHA).

We also have some killer deals for ya:
1.) Rapid Fat Loss Cardio 2.0 Month One 4-Pack for $40
2.)  Rapid Fat Loss Cardio 2.0 Month One 2-Pack for $20
Please be sure to listen to the audio samples to make sure they are the right fit for you before you buy and know that you’re helping a
Heart Disease is the #1 cause of death in the United States so your purchased today will not only help automate and power some crazy good cardio interval workouts for your and/or your campers/clients, but it will go towards much needed research to save lives… thanks in advance for your support ;)

Crank it!

The 3 Minute Push-up Challenge!

Wednesday, January 19th, 2011

I’m jacked to share the first of many challenge workouts to come 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. Back in the day they used to box for 15 total rounds but now most fights fall between 10-12 rounds.

But 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!).

So, here’s the first challenge workout, The 3-Minute Push-up Challenge:

Bodyweight Challenge: Max Reps Push-ups in 3 Minutes

Equipment Challenge: Max Reps of TRX Atomic Push-ups 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:

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:

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).

PS- I also put together a video of how to build the boxing intervals workout with a “ring the bell” sound effect using iWorkout Muse PRO app for the iPhone and iPod Touch, check it out:

Well, it’s finally warm up here in Milwaukee, WI, so we’re taken our workouts outdoors a couple times a week to mix things up!

Check out the video below from our 6 am boot camp workout using nothing but a hill and your body weight… they were DEAD at the end:

Here is a great total body core exercise called rotational hill push-ups that will have your abs ripped up the next day, in a good way ;)

Hope this gives you some ideas to get fit using the great outdoors… more to come!

How To Do More Push-ups

Friday, April 10th, 2009

The Push-up. It is probably the most popular exercise of all time. But being popular doesn’t necessarily mean being well liked! In fact, I think it is safe to say that the majority of people really HATE push-ups. More specifically, the push-up tends to be the undying nemesis for people who carry extra body weight and for most females who feel they do not have the upper strength to ever be able to do anything but “wuss-ups,” or modified push-ups on the knees.
