Forget Ab Wheels, Try Akrowheels Core Ab Workout!
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! 
Actually, I will admit Read more »

Morning!
Have you ever considered manual labor to be an excellent means of fitness?
Think about, oh, say, brick-laying - done properly, it can work your entire core, individual muscles, enable you to smoothly execute motions that actually end up delivering a solid, physical result and more!
I’m particularly fond of brick-laying as an exercise, not because I do it myself, but because of this particular clip. Read more »

Hell Froze Over
Morning all,
Wow, what a past 36 hours! As I wrote yesterday, I have been hit by the MegaVirus of the Century - running nose, molten nasal drip, pounding headache, etc.etc.etc…..and yesterday, I gave myself permission to take it easy and forgo anything fitness/diet related.
I’m pleased to announce that today, I’m feeling a weee bit better (like taking 9 steps makes you a wee bit closer to China) and am considering returning to the land of the living. I lived on hot soup, diet coke, gallons of hot water and butterscotch chips yesterday (looking forward to Read more »
Sinful Thoughts - To Hell With Fitness!
Got you there with that title, eh?
Actually, it’s not quite "to hell with fitness" - it’s more like:
"When you feel like a cupcake that has just challenged an 18-wheeler to a Chicken contest, you should really give your body permission to rest and heal."
In other words, I am sicker than a dog! Well, actually, my moosies have yet to show an off-day (‘course, MooseMinor DOES regularly chow down on socks that he (like clockwork) upchucks when it makes the most impression - I was actually able to wrestle his latest treasure BEFORE it disappeared into his gullet)….how ’bout instead:
- Sicker than a person with…the flu!
- Sicker than a politiican who….had to tell the truth!
- Sicker than a mom who just finished mopping up the bathroom after her 4 kids used it as a (use your imagination!)
- Sicker than…
I’m hopeful you get the point. I’ve been up since Read more »

Adding sizzle to your elliptical workout
Morning,
Today is my lower-body day! So I scheduled out the following to-die-for exercises for me:
- Every hour or so, do 30 of my famous Killer Karate Kicks
Well! Read by itself, that sounds rather boring indeed. But that work out was for when I was at home - it’s very easy to take out 2 or 3 minutes an hour and get your heartrate up! I neglected to mention:
- I also indulged in 30 minutes on the Elliptical.
But not ANY 30 minutes with your typical ANY HIIT or otherwordly workout, oh no!
Because today is lower body, I set the resistance to 15 (it goes from 1 to 20 on the commercial gym-quality Precor).
Let me tell you, Read more »
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.
What I like about the Powertec Squat Machine is that it really lets you control your form well when performing squats…and you know, once you’ve said that you’ve said it all!

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 »
