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

Trick or Cheat

Friday, October 30th, 2009

It only seems appropriate that at this time of year I have a little discussion on cheating. The temptation is literally at the door. As of Nov. 1st most houses (especially those with kids) and workplaces are overflowing with chocolatey nougaty goodness. There is no holiday quite like Halloween. It is essentially authorized, organized and otherwise socially acceptable begging – but we call it trick or treating.

We dress our kids up and say "look how cute they are – NOW GIVE US CANDY!" By nights’ end the children can take home their bodyweight in candy. After the kids go to bed (if they go to bed) it is time for the parents to exact the "candy tax"- one for you two for me…

The Kirstie Alley Effect

Thursday, May 14th, 2009

I’m sure you all remember Kirstie Alley as super stoic and sexy Vulcan, Lt. Saavik from Star Trek II: The Wrath of Kahn.  Although I hear she also had some success on some little TV show about a bar where everyone knows your name…

saavik
Live long, and prosper.

Well wherever you remember her from, you probably know the story by now:  She got fat.

Twice.

I know as well as anyone that bodyweight can fluctuate throughout the year.  Life gets in the way and s^*t just happens.  My weight goes up and down and I do this crap for a living.  No one is perfect.

Tabata – 4 Minutes of Fat Burning Hell

Tuesday, July 17th, 2007

I had heard of this Tabata thing for a while – mentioned here and there – but I never gave it much thought. Then I tried it.

tabata
The name says it all. Wait, no it doesn’t.

The Tabata Protocol was named after Japanese research er Dr. Izumi Tabata. The workout was developed to increase the performance of Japanese speed skaters. The beauty of the protocol is its simplicity- 20 seconds of all out effort followed by 10 seconds of rest or moderate movement. Repeat that 8 times for a total of 4 minutes. Sounds easy right?
