A Little Video From May

Thursday, June 10th, 2010

I keep promising myself that I would be more faithful with this blog but as you can see, it’s not working out so well. It’s sad though, because I love to write and actually miss it. Keeping up with Facebook, Twitter and other sites I subscribe to are sucking up my time. I need to remedy that and soon.

Anyway, here is a quick video I shot of one of our workouts in May. We snuck in some corrective exercises cleverly disguised as part of our circuit. I find just telling people that a particular exercise will work their abs or butts will take care of any concerns or questions. It’s like putting your dogs heartworm pills in peanut butter. He thinks he’s getting a treat, but actually he’s getting something good for him.

Ricky thought of adding the skaters to the ropes and it was great. So the circuit was;

Rows
Tire flips
Kettlebell DL
Jump Rope
TRX Squat, Row and Curl combo
Crazy Ropes
! leg bridges (our corrective exercise)
Aquabag Reverse Lunges

Last Week of Camp

Wednesday, May 12th, 2010

We had some huge success stories this session. Not only were people improving times for running and races but lots of people lost a lot of weight in just 4 short weeks. It just goes to show that hard work pays off in a big way.

This is just a quick video of one of the last workouts for the April session. As you can see, everything can be modified to fit your current fitness level.

Here are the Tuesday and Thursday classes doing the same workout.

Delta Delta Delta!!

Monday, April 19th, 2010

We had a great workout on the ramps at Doak Campbell Stadium with the Tri-Delts.

After warming up they selected 4 cards. Each suite represented a certain exercise. They had to do 10 reps of 1 of the exercises drawn on the landing of each ramp. Of course they had to run the ramps in between.

The second round was 1 card, 10 reps for the exercise on each landing.

Last set was walking lunges half way up the ramp and finish with a sprint.

The girls did great and were a fun group to work with.

March Classes

Tuesday, April 6th, 2010

Our sessions are getting busier and we are adding more classes. We have had some great success stories this session, some of which amaze even me. Everyone worked hard and it’s paying off in a big way. I didn’t get a lot of pictures or videos this session but here is just something I put together of several of our different classes.

Represented are our evening Operation Weight Loss Crew as well as Tuesday and Thursday morning Kettlebell Express class and our Wednesday Kettlebell class.

Enjoy.

March Madness

Tuesday, March 30th, 2010

I can’t quite remember all of the exercises in this one but there were a lot!

Lots of great new clients for February

Thursday, February 11th, 2010

We have been blessed with tons of new clients this month. I’d like to post a shout out to the teachers and principal of Griffin Middle School.

This month we also welcome the KOs from GTO. This group was selected out of 22 area businesses to represent in a 3 month weight loss/lifestyle change challenge. By the time we are done with them, they won’t even recognize themselves.

We also welcome a group of ladies from the Florida Chamber of Commerce. This group of ladies were not selected as finalists in the city wide challenge but decided not to let that stop them from being the best they can be. You can find this group working out with Mike during our Urban Assualt camp down town on Tuesday and Thursday evenings.

We have many other great new and old clients and we are grateful to each and every one of you for allowing us the privilege of helping you on your fitness journey

This is one of the workouts we did in the new gym. It’s so big we can do the sleds inside.

Halloween Horror Nights

Friday, October 30th, 2009

To quote one of our morning boot campers, “The devil wears Umbros”. I met everyone this morning in my devil costume complete with blinking horns that I bought at my last AC/DC concert. They knew right away this was going to be HELL.

After a warm up we did mini workouts.

1. A Kettlebell Deadlift, Swing ladder just to get their hearts racing and glutes firing.
2. 15/15 swings for 15 sets
3. Rows and Push ups on the KB
4. 10 Jacks and 5 Burpees every minute on the minute for a long time
5. A big lap with the KB in the rack

I don’t know if what I heard was screeches of delight or horror.

I love Halloween!

The Power of 3

Friday, March 13th, 2009

I couldn’t decide on a good workout so I though it would be cool to do all 3!
