300 Workout for Everyday People

The Xpress Workouts 300 workout program is featured in our local Daily Herald. I was excited to take a couple of my best clients through the 300 Workout while journalist Robert McCoppin wrote a piece on it for his paper. Here is an excerpt:

"...The exercises are designed to work the body from one end to the other. They use primitive tools like medicine balls and body weight, and compound movements to involve more than one set of muscles, rather than using a machine to isolate one muscle at a time.

This type of training is a variation of what exercise geeks call peripheral heart action, a high-intensity form of circuit training. Instead of doing three sets at a time on each body part, participants go from one exercise to the next, promoting overall circulation.

The beauty of such a workout, personal trainer Robert Garza said, is that it combines cardiovascular exercise with resistance training, so you're gaining muscle at the same time you're burning calories and improving endurance.

Instead of just looking muscular, you should end up with "usable" strength and fitness that also looks ripped.

Best of all, you can get a more intense workout in a shorter amount of time."

New Release: Ryan Lee's Millionaire Workout!

The Millionaire Workout (hardcopy) book isn't just a book about working out and getting in shape. It's an accelerated success system. Actually, it's a "Warp-speed 21 day accelerated step-by-step program that ANYONE can follow."

Author and fitness coach, Ryan Lee, has taken all his high powered success strategies and condensed them down into a straight-forward 21 day accelerated success system that will dramatically improve your life.

I actually spoke with Ryan Lee a couple of years ago when we were both lecturers in the fitness industry. We were both at the same income level and had ideas and dreams of expanding our business into huge successful enterprises.

Well, we've both become successful, however, Ryan soared light-years ahead of me becomming a Millionaire in a few short years!

How did he do it? Well, his Millionaire Workout book shows you how. I bought it so I can discover what separated us in our business game plans where he was able to grow way beyond where I am now (although, I am happy with how far I have come in a few short years as well).

Now, this book isn't only about becomming financially successful. It has loads of workouts and strategies to become a fitness powerhouse! I know what you're thinking...,"Doesn't this book compete with your Xpress Workouts website?" No, it actually doesn't - not in the way that I see it, that is.

Although Ryan's Millionaire Workout book has workouts and fitness strategies within it I see it as more of a supplement to the Xpress Workouts website. I feel the business and life success system Ryan has to offer will consume more of your thoughts while reading his book.

Another thing...Ryan has put together a HUGE bonus package that comes along with the purchase of his Millionaire Workout book. There are too many to list here but I received access to over 80 bonuses! You read that right, 80 bonuses from e-books to free success magazine subscriptions, to FitExpo tickets.

All of this for a mere $20 bucks is an incredible value! Please CLICK HERE to check it out NOW!

Which Workout Scenario Do You Prefer?

Scenario 1:
You decide to go workout first thing in the morning. You roll out of bed, put on your workout clothes, and pack your work clothes along with your toiletry bag all of which has taken you 15 minutes.

Now, you dash out of your home and jump into your car to rush over to the local gym. Another fifteen later minutes you arrive at the gym - and if it’s like most health clubs in the morning you can expect to search for a parking space which takes more of your valuable time.

You go through your typical bodybuilding style workout which may or may not be suitable for your goal of fat loss. That’ll be another hour of your time, please.

Now that you are finished you run to the locker room to get ready for work. You undress, shower, change into your work clothes and primp yourself up while knocking elbows into the person next to you sharing the same mirror space.

You now sprint out of the club and go straight to work because you ran out of time to eat breakfast. It has taken you about 2 hours to complete your morning workout ritual.

Scenario 2:

You decide to go workout first thing in the morning. You roll out of bed, put on your workout clothes, and drop to the floor to begin your bodyweight workout of pushing, pulling and squatting exercises that strengthen your whole body in all of 10 minutes.

You now climb on your treadmill and do a 15 minute interval workout to specifically shed fat and strengthen your heart and lungs. You follow that with a cool down of light stretching and your workout is done – all in 30 minutes time!

Now, you can take your time showering and having a post-workout breakfast meal and head off to work.

*******************************

Which workout scenario do you prefer? Or, more importantly for some, which is a more efficient way of spending your morning?

Oh, and scenario 2 will get you in better physical condition much quicker, too!

That’s what our Xpress Workouts are all about: quick and efficient workouts that get you in better condition than most one-hour (or longer) workouts.

Improve Your Rotation to Improve Your Sport

This past Sunday we hosted a awesome seminar for fitness professionals at our personal training studio, FPC/Beyond Fitness.

Dr. Evan Osar, a Chiropractic Physician, Massage Therapist, and Muscle Activation Techniques practitioner, conducted a seminar on, “Complete Rotary Conditioning.”

He spoke about how while we think about playing golf or tennis the body is really “thinking” about performing rotation. After all, every movement we perform in golf and tennis are rotary movements – and that goes for all sports!

All us trainers here at FPC/Beyond Fitness (who are also contributors to the Xpress Workouts website) all spent 8 hours furthering our education by learning both the theoretical and practical applications of conditioning for sports. We spent many hours practicing and playing in the gym with rotational body assessments and exercises to strengthen and improve rotational abilities.

We look forward to applying our current knowledge of sports conditioning along with some new and exciting concepts learned this weekend to design workouts for all our clients and website members.

Fitness Professionals interested in continuing education seminars can check out Dr. Evan Osar’s website, www.fitnesseducationseminars.com or can email him at: evan@fitnesseducationseminars.com
