Get Fit WITHOUT Exercise!!! (humor)
Brief, pithy and to the point - ever want to see just how far someone can take the "lose weight with zero effort"…past the realms of sheer insanity?
That’s what I did for April Fools! Thus, allow me to direct you to (drumroll please!)
Rainbows follow ME in search of GOLD - Make Money and Lose Weight
I sure had a fun time writing it, let me tell you! Last year, my April Fools Joke was the launch of the incredible Twitter Budgie site…believe it or not, those crafty critters really do live in my office and fly laps around my kitchen. See them below!
Anywhos, hopefully this week I’ll be back to sharing more great fitness and workout resources. But for the meanwhile, do enjoy the joke post above!

Admit it, you want it!
There I was this morning, idly checking out the latest and greatest of ab thingees, when lo and behold, I came across:
Akrowheels Core Strengthener; Tone Abs, Chest, Arms. Used By Navy Seals
Oooo! said, I, must look more! That looks like fun fun fun!
And you know, fitness without fun (ie, pushups that don’t end up being 500, or workout sets that don’t go past failure, or weight bars that aren’t unbalanced, or …) just ain’t fitness!

Powertec Leverage Hack Squat Machine Review and Discounts
Ever use a hack-squat machine?
It’s pretty nifty, I’ll tell you that! This lovely little beastie is currently residing in my basement, and I use it whenever it’s Leg Day for me at home.

Embracing Kettlebells (you know you want to!)
Morning!
Have you ever had an insane urge to add kettlebells to your workout regime? You know, those spheriod doo-dads that have a huge handle by which you can swing them all over the place (ideally not letting go)?
Kettlebells are great conditioning tools! What I like myself about them is that it feels like more muscles are being engaged than by using dumbbells (I can turn my wrist easier during swings/flys/etc.). I’ll show you where to get kettlebells for a discount at the end of the post.
But let’s first get to the good stuff!
There are lots of useful Kettlebell exercises you can find online for free, plus great resources you can incorporate for more intensive trainings. Check out: Read more »

Billy Blanks Bio and Taebo
Morning all,
I’ll confess - I *adore* Billy Blanks and his wonderful workout called Taebo. Here’s why.
True, it’s not real martial arts (I do Goju-ryu karate, so I know the difference) but! Many of the exercises he shows does build great muscle memory as well as really cause you to work up a sweat.
That’s not all, of course. Billy Blanks himself is a very inspiring man indeed - as a child, he was undiagnosed with Dyslexia, was the 4th child of 15, and lived in a high-crime area to boot. You can learn more over Read more »
10 Killer Resources for Rock Hard Abs
So you’ve been hitting the gym and pumping iron and realize that yes indeed…your abs, they need juuuuust a wee bit more encouragement to amaze and astonish the entire world.
Well! I have news for you.
Your ability to show off your rock-hard abs is dependent upon the lovely, ahem, covering of fat that might still be hanging around on your tummy. Once that’s gone, you can indulge in execises to toughen and chisel ‘em up…but until that point, you have to focus on your overall fat loss on your body.
So! Let’s first chat about ab exercises. Forget the ridiculous machines out there like the Ab Rocket or Ab Pail or Ab Give-Me-Your-Wallet etc.,; instead focus on (get this!) what works.
Here are some super resources for that: Read more »
5 Crucial Free Weights Free Sites
One of the most optimal ways I’ve found over the years to keep myself in an optimal state of fitness is free weights.
Now, don’t get me wrong - I do enjoy the Cybex goodies I find at my local Y too! However, free weights allow you to target all sorts of muscle groups while sitting in virtually the same position (thus eliminating the need for several machines to accomplish the goals of one).
Free weights sites on the Internet come and go…but here are some definite keepers.
- Exercise and Muscle Directory - plain but great, lots of great animated images to quickly show you how to do specific weight lifting.
- YouTube Videos of Free Weights Exercises - Lots from which to choose
- Weight Training / Lifting Exercises - Another useful how-to site
- Teach PE! - Really useful site with lots of detail
- Exercise Database Guide With Exercise Video Demonstrations - from Critical Bench
