New Weekly Tipz! This is a longer video (15 min or so) but a good video for anyone thinking about exercising while at work or while traveling. I go over some basics of what you need to know, things to consider, basic equipment and how to organize quick workouts that are very effective. Just so you know, you don’t have to watch the whole thing in one sitting. It’s ok to break it up. And by all means, feel free to recommend it to anyone you think might benefit from it.

Plyometrics (Jumping/Hopping)

Exercise Clips, Exercise Variables, Form, Plyometrics

Plyometrics are great for most anyone, especially athletes. Because of this, they might not necessarily be for all beginners. Plyometrics are essentially jumping exercises which can place a lot of stress on the body. Some people might not be ready for this. If you are injured, check with a doctor first. This a great reference for beginners to the advanced, showing the broad range of plymotrics as shown by coach Mike Boyle.

New Weekly Health & Fitness Tips! This week i simply wanted to show what AMeRiCAN PoSTuRE looks like and how it happens. Nothing speaks louder than pictures. Some of it is exaggerated to prove a point. W must be mindful of the things we do every day because they may be making things worse. The choice is ours. We need to sit up straight, stand up tall and get off our phones. And remember to move. And when we do move, we should avoid working only the muscles on the front side of the body. Work the backside. Avoid things like crunches, bench press, bicep curls and leg machines if you lack the knowledge of how to balance those exercises out with opposing pulling exercises. (Things like planks, deadlifts, bridges and pulling/rowing movements!)

New Weekly Tipz! This week i want to try and simplify exercise or how you may look at it. When you see a “new” or an “old” exercise, you must learn to see what the body is actually doing, NOT what equipment is being used or anything else ab out it. There is nothing that special about any equipment or mode of training. It’s all about what the body is doing and how it is moving. Pay close attention to that, and in time you will see that most exercises fit into just a few categories. Today i will show you some simple examples…

New Weekly Tipz! Exercise doesn’t always have to be a chore. We just have to change things up from time to time to keep it interesting. One easy way to do this is to simply learn & practice a new exercise. But first we must make sure that we learn it from a RELIABLE source. After that, just start slow and “practice” for a while. No need to make it anything harder than necessary until you’ve MASTERED it first. At the end of this week’s video, i also added some footage of Mike Graham’s beautiful antique gym in Lockhart, Tx. Check it out, or perhaps not… :)

New Weekly Tipz Show! This week is Part 2 from last week. Last week demonstrated a few full body exercises so that’d you’d have an idea of what i mean when i say “never sit down to exercise”. This week i show a few more examples. But just know that there are many. This is only intended to simply give you a few ideas. Next week i will demonstrate a sample workout, done in real time. This week just focus on the idea of “variety”. Get up. Stand up. Move.

New Weekly Tipz (repost)! This week is part 1 of 2 (or 3). I just wanted to show some of you what “full body” movements look like. Just to get you thinking. There will be more next week and a workout video the week after next. This video today is NOT a workout or a prescription. It’s just me showing a bunch of progressions of movement. Some are easy, some are a bit harder. The idea is to not sit down to do exercise…stand up!

New Weekly Tipz for the week of Jan 30! This week i talk about 6 or 7 things that most people probably shouldn’t do while working out at the gym or at home. These observations are based on years of working for a big box gym. I, along with many other trainers, witnessed many wasteful things. Sadly, not much has changed since then. Sadly, people still do many useless things, much of which has been hanging around for decades. This is not to be mean, only to educate. Evolve.
