Dem Bones

Tuesday, November 17th, 2009

Living your life by the roll of the dice.  Ooohh, it sounds so sexy and devious.

2111805581_6c03f2087eOk, that might be a bit much.

So while you might not want your fate determined by the toss of  dice, how about let it determine your workout?

I thought I would share with you one of my workout tricks.  It is pretty much an anywhere / anytime type of workout so it is great for when you are stuck at home or when you travel.

I call this workout “Dem Bones” and I use it when I need  to shake things up with clients & bootcamps

100 Reps, 4 Months & 52 Pounds

Monday, November 9th, 2009

John started on June 1st, 2009 at Carter Fitness.  As he has been Mr. Consistency (he never misses a session)  I had quite honestly completely forgotten what he looked like when he walked though my doors 4 months ago.

Then today John emailed me this pic to remind me:

Big John

I remember John told me on day 1 he was committed.  But again to be honest I hear that a lot. 

But as it turns out “committed” is an understatement.

It’s Ready – Are You?

Wednesday, September 30th, 2009

I have been teasing this for a few weeks, but the 6 Week Body Transformation Program is now ready – we start Monday.

For those who missed it, here is a brief recap…

As some of you know, I was recently hired by a major fitness company to transform the bodies of 15 participants.  Then the results from this fat loss program are being used in a national ad campaign.  This major fitness company needed rapid and drastic fat loss in only  6 weeks, so they came to me.

In Only 6 Weeks

Monday, September 14th, 2009

As some of you know, I was recently hired by a major fitness company to transform the bodies of 15 participants.  Then the results were to be used in a national ad campaign.  They needed rapid and drastic fat loss in only  6 weeks, so they came to me.

Well last Friday & Saturday was the filming of the commercial and the results blew me away. 

I wish I could show you the before and after pictures, but I am waiting to make sure I have authorization.

Insurmountable Wall of Death?

Tuesday, June 30th, 2009

When it comes to fat loss and fitness, it can seem like you are climbing an endless wall of death.  Or maybe I should say endless wall of blubbery frustration.

President Bill Clinton said it best when he said “I feel your pain.”

clinton_i_feel_your_pain
Cheer up , Bill.

The thought of achieving your goals, whether it be fitness & fat loss (or whatever life your goal you might have) can seem insurmountable. 

Well it is surmountable.  Way surmountable.  But the path can be long, uphill and not well marked.  Plus there might be pain involved. But no one expects you to do it alone.

Happy Mother’s Day

Friday, May 8th, 2009

Happy Mother’s Day.

To the mothers of sons and to the mothers of daughters. To the mothers of canines, felines, equines and all kinds – this day is for you as well. And let us not forget the mothers to be for your mothering has already begun.

A special thank you for all that you do – and yes we notice even if we don’t say. And though we can never say it enough – from your children everywhere to you, mom – we love you.

I of course have two special mothers to thank. The first is my mother, Linda.

Goodbye Dom DeLuise -RIP

Tuesday, May 5th, 2009

On May 4th, 2009 funny man Dom DeLuise passed away. 

My thoughts go out to his family and friends.  While I did not know him personally, I did have the privilege of meeting him in the summer of 1983, when I was 12 years old.

Josh & Dom – Who Looks Funnier?

My grandparents were taking me on a trip to New York, Washington DC and then to Arizona where they were filming Cannonball Run II. (My grandfather was buddies with Sammy Davis Jr. who was also in the movie, but that is another story)

Crime & Peanuts

Wednesday, January 28th, 2009

As you are probably aware if you have read anything of mine ever, you know that in my mind there is only one good and pure and perfect food in the whole world: peanut butter. (For those of you who are new :  I love peanut butter. I rationally know it is not perfect – but I still irrationally love it)

As you may also know, recently peanut butter has been getting a bad rap for making people sick.

Turns out there were multiple batches of the glorious goo that were tainted with salmonella – a potentially deadly bacteria. It has caused hundreds to get ill, and a it is even implicated in some deaths.

Leaving Las Vegas

Wednesday, January 28th, 2009

Last weekend I had the opportunity to visit Las Vegas on someone else’s dime. My wife Denyse had gotten roped into a timeshare presentation, with one of the free gifts being 3 days in Vegas. So we figured what the hell.

I have only been to Vegas once, and it was about 12 years ago. I heard things were different but…

Turns out I am not a Vegas type of guy.

I don’t drink, gamble or smoke. So that doesn’t really leave me much except of course for the prostitutes.

Just kidding.
