For many people, the first thing they say to themselves when they decide it's time to get in shape is, "I need to start jogging.".

Gymnastics Ring Strength Training at Home
September 23, 2014
Having spent a majority of my youth in gymnastics, I love seeing the general fitness community incorporate and embrace some of the pieces of equipment I spent years training on. It’s not uncommon to stroll in to your neighborhood gym and see a set of parallettes or a set of gymnastics rings dangling from the ceiling. I think people have taken notice of how athletic and well sculpted gymnasts are so they have welcomed the idea of trying to train more like one.
3 Exercises. 20 Minutes. Go!
August 5, 2014
It's always beneficial and fun to change up your workout routine and try some new things. If you want to continue to see results from your training, your body constantly needs to be introduced to something different. If you do the same routine week by week, you will certainly find yourself hanging out on the proverbial fitness plateau. If you haven't already, start getting used to the idea of workouts that are high intensity and regularly varied. If you want to increase your intensity we recommend this list of the best testosterone boosters in the market to help you achieve the desired goal.
The 61 Challenge
July 10, 2014
I received so many great comments on the video of 61 medicine ball exercises, it persuaded me to go a little further with it. Everyone loves a challenge and I saw no reason why I shouldn't turn this in to one. Why not go after all 61 exercises in one workout without a break? I decided it was a brilliantly insane idea so I immediately headed over to the gym to give it a shot. I brought my wife along, a list of the exercises and chose a 15lb ball (looking back, maybe a little over-ambitious with that weight choice). After a quick warm-up and stretch, I got started. I rolled through the first 20 exercises and thought it was going to be a fairly easy ride to the finish line. Suddenly the burns started setting in and began to get pretty intense. It started with the abs, worked its way down to the quads and then on up to the shoulders. By number 45, the majority of my body was on fire! The end was in sight at number 56, but I made a mistake with my exercise line up, allowing all the pushup sets to pile up at the end. My wife was filming and calling out the exercises to me and didn't realize this. Here is the full video. It's very long but it's pretty entertaining if you skip to the last few minutes to watch me suffer.
61 Medicine Ball Exercises to Create a Killer Workout
July 1, 2014
I’m happy to say I finally finished our video containing a large number (61 to be exact) of medicine ball exercises you can do at home. The video is meant to show you some exercises you may not be familiar with as well as the proper technique for each one. Choose a subgroup of exercises from the master list and do about 3 to 5 sets for each exercise, with 15 seconds rest between each giving you about a 30 minute workout. It will probably require at least 9 different exercises. So maybe try to break it up in to 3 groups of 3. Rotate between the first group of three doing 3 to 5 sets (I usually stick with 5) for each exercise. Then move on to your next group of three and so on. If you need to add a few more at the end, then go for it! If you power through it, you will get a phenomenal workout, I guarantee it! Mix it up and you can get many different workouts out of this group of exercises. In case your routine goal is to drop some pounds you can combine it with one of the best appetite suppressants to help your diet.
Do It All with the Medicine Ball
June 20, 2014
It is becoming increasingly popular these days to forego the trip to the gym and get a solid workout at home. People are becoming more educated in the use of bodyweight and small weighted products to get a total body workout. I am all for it and do it quite often myself. I can get as good of a workout at home with very little equipment as I do in a gym. On numerous occasions, my wife and I have gone out in our yard and created a workout circuit using stairs, walls and our inclined driveway. It’s a great workout and the neighbors get some entertainment.
