After a little more of an extended break than I’d prefer, we’re back!!
First off, a big congratulations to Inga Schlingmann who’s been training with me for the last while. After 8 weeks of training harder than she probably ever though possible, Inga finished in the top 5 at the 2010 Miss New York Pageant. For anyone that still doubts this kind of training leads to not only increased fitness & performance levels, but to even the most stringent of aesthetic goals…here you go.
Inga, congratulations. You did some amazing work in a very short amount of time.
Now it’s your turn. WORKOUT OF THE WEEK
Refer to the videos below for instruction. Record time to completion and loads. Above all else, be safe and operate according to your abilities. Listen to your body folks.
I kind of feel like it’s a back to the basics kind of day. Enough with the new, big, fancy…whatever. This is all about just grabbing a barbell and moving some weight. Practice practice kids. You know what’s coming.
This posting comes from the “Run Out and Buy This Even Though I’m Not a Paid Representative” department here at MOVE.
I was introduced to this by my lovely sister in law last year and have sworn by it ever since. Kettlebellers and gym warriors listen up. Sore? Tight? I have 2 words for you.
Snap Heat.
Snap Heat is a beautiful innovation by someone smarter than I am. It’s a heating pad that’s filled with some kind of saline solution. There’s also a magic button inside the pad. When you press the magic button, mystical crystals begin to form and spontaneously generate heat that delivers Asgardian healing to your weary muscles.
Ok, so it’s a measured chemical reaction that delivers an immediate and steady heat that lasts for what seems like a couple of hours. Here’s the beautiful part, when you’re done and it’s gone cold, drop it in some boiling water, which resets the chemical reaction and softens the hardened crystals so the pad is reset and ready to go again.
Trust me. I’ve done the Tiger Balm patches, electric pads, microwaved towels…nothing is as consistent of a heat for as long without being plugged into the wall as this is. They’ve got different sizes and shapes for shoulders, back, neck etc. Go check it out. Thank me later.
No video today folks. Something more important today. Anyone that knows me very well at all knows that Nashville TN is very near and dear to my heart. Someone in my Facebook network posted this link the other day and it really needs to be seen.
Nashville’s in trouble. She needs help. Please give. Give to the Red Cross of Middle Tennessee
