TRAIN RIGHT AND GET RESULTS!!


Videos Baby!!  Videos are the second best way to show someone the proper way to train.  #1 being in person training.  Follow the videos below for simple ways to better yourself.  If you do not have a kettlebell you can substitute with a dumbbell.  WATCH AND LEARN!!

Below is a video of the kettlebell deadlift technique broken down for you by Mike Stehle from the Training Room Gym which has a few locations at the Jersey Shore.  He knows his shit.  If you are using a dumbbell, stand it on one of the ends for proper form.


Here we have Mike Stehle showing the proper technique for the kettlebell swing.


Below is one of Crossfit's fittest and finest, Matt Chan, with his warm up technique.  Warm up your entire body the right way.  Notice he does not have his clients walking on a treadmill as part of their warm up. Breaking a sweat means you are warmed up.
  

Here is one 4 minute workout that can be completed as a finisher to the first workout.  This is true conditioning.  Leave the jogging to skinny marathoners.  Train to look like a world class sprinter instead.


Below is another 4 minute finisher example.  Do not make lack of time as an excuse.  Schedule training into your daily routine.


As always, I am available for coaching, personal training in person or online, and MOTIVATION!!!

MOTIVATION!!

Motivation to train can come in many forms.  It can come from watching someone close to you struggle with a health issue that could have been prevented through diet and exercise, bad news from a doctor can spark a lifestyle change, not being able to keep up with your kids can make you more active, or having an incident occur where your unhealthy lifestyle embarrassed you to the point of change.  Well, my motivator is pretty simple, WANTING TO BE A BAD ASS AND MORE THAN AVERAGE!!  There are enough average people walking the streets.  There are enough people settling to be of average strength and skill.  Strength makes you a better person at everything.  PERIOD!!  GET MOTIVATED!!  WATCH ROCKY BELOW!!  I DIDN'T HEAR NO BELL WHEN IT CAME TO GIVING UP ON LIFE!!  GET UP YOU SON OF A BITCH!!

PICNIC TABLE TRAINING!

The idea that you can only train at a gym with weights or machines is straight BULLSHIT!!  Stop feeding yourself it.  The saying "Knowledge is Power" holds true.  The more you set out to learn about what you can do to better yourself physically and mentally, the more powerful you will become.  Training implements are all around you.  You just have to find the right people willing to teach and train you. 



The individuals in the videos are members of my Fit Challenge Team.  We train together once a week in a group setting.  Group training keeps everyone motivated throughout the session through encouragement and a little SHIT TALKING.  We get into what I like to call BEAST MODE !!  The trainings are all made up of movements that are realistic, functional, and ASS BUSTING!!  I try to keep things interesting and fresh by only using body weight, odd objects, and outdoor training.  As always, I am available for group training, personal training, and coaching.  Check out the videos and contact me.
