100 Rep Workout: The Game

Wednesday, February 17th, 2010

For me, the name of the game is fast workouts. I should say fast, effective workouts (who wants a fast workout that doesn’t do s#^t right?). So I am always looking for creative ways to craft superior workouts that are quick,  effective and have the power to boost the metabolism for 24-48 hours.

As an added bonus I love it when they are portable (I can do it anywhere).

The other day I saw one of the trainers at my facility doing something kinda interesting with his clients.  So like any good boss I am stealing it and calling it my own (thanks Casey).

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

‘Twas The Night Before Christmas (at Carter Fitness)

Sunday, December 14th, 2008

‘Twas the night before Christmas when all through the gym
Not a carb was found lurking near fit, plump or slim.
The dumbbells were stacked on the racks with great care
Just waiting for clients to pick up a pair.

The trainers all cautioned them to be committed
No visions of sugarplums would be permitted.
And Josh, the big boss man, reminded them all
Carter Fitness is there, if from your diet you fall.

When out in the parking lot arose such a clatter
Josh sprinted outside to see what was the matter.
When what to his eyes should emerge on the scene
But a red suited man with no fitness regime.

Happy Holidays: 2009 is Your Year

Sunday, December 14th, 2008

Let me say from the entire staff of Carter Fitness, and from my family as well as myself- Happy Holidays.

This has been an odd year to say the least.  It has had it’s ups and downs.  And it seems this year  for many of us has had more downs than ups.  First the gas prices went through the roof, then the economy hit the crapper.  It make you wonder what is next?

I’ll tell you what is next: 2009.

You might think it is just another year, another date and just another chance for those is power to screw things ups.

C’mon baby, finish what you started

Saturday, November 1st, 2008

Sometimes, when I’m  just about spent after a workout I like to do what are called "finishers".  As they name implies, they finish you off. (not like that you perv)

Generally a "finishers" are a small sequence of moves that will take you from almost "Oh man I am wiped" to "I think I’m gonna hurl".

Oh yeah, my kinda fun.

Finishers are especially effective in fat loss programs as they add a serious metabolic boost to the workout the effects of which can last for up to 48 hours.
