"The Evolution Of The Soccer Mom"
Six months after having a child, this is one good way to get rid of the "baby-weight." This is also similar to how I train my crew in my fitcamps. BTW, I've had fitcampers as old as 67. While they may not have run through the sets as fast as little mama featured in this video, they did (and do) accept the challenge to safely, push themselves beyond their comfort zones.
So, check out his video, as gt inspired (men and ladies).

A dude with cellulite? Are you serious?
Since the word was first created around 1920, many people, mostly women, throughout the years has fought an on-going battle with "cellulite." It's crazy how many commercials, newspaper and magazine ads I see on a daily basis, claiming to put an end to cellulite, permanently.
When I see such buffoonery, I have to say to myself, either these clowns are lying to consumers by selling false promises not supported by research, in order to get a quick buck, or these companies really don't have a clue as to what "cellulite" really is. Let's just say, I usually conclude on the former. These companies are making billions on what you "don't" know.
Peep this. Did you know, all post-pubescent females display some degree of cellulite, including those who are slim, athletic, and even fitness & supermodels? Alright ladies, let's say it all together now, booooooooooo!!!!!!!!! Umm...hold on fellas, before you start snickering and saying, "better them than me," here's something you may not know. Even guys can have cellulite. Yeah...uh huh...you read that right. No one is safe.
In fact, I witnessed my first D.W.C. (Dude With Cellulite) sighting just last week. In fact, it was in the last place you'd ever think to find the cottage cheese monster in action, during a professional wrestling match between two men!
OK, here is a form of sports entertainment that has a reputation for displaying some of the most musclebound athletes around (yes, I know some of them have had a little help from steroids). However, during this one match between 2 of these athletes, one bent over to pick up his opponent, and that's when my girlfriend pointed it out.
She said, "Is it me, or does _________ have cellulite?" Well, the appearance that resembles cottage cheese was definitely there. So, I did a little research after the show, and found it's true. Wow!
So now that we know no one is safe, the question is, what can "really" be done? Fortunately, my trusted colleague, fat loss expert Richard Rigor, did the research, and created a special report to give you the real "no B.S." answers you need to know to help conquer cellulite. Richard is one of the kings of the fitness industry, in the area of fat loss. This dude truly knows what he is talking about.

Kettlebell Strength & Mobility: Jay is So Gangster!
OK, so I finally broke down and bought my first set of kettlebells for me, as well as some for my fitcamp, last week. I was excited to find out that Tar-zhay, Sports Authority, as well as my favorite fitness crackhouse, Academy carried the GoFit brand of Kettlebells. While this brand of kettlebell may not be as top of the line as the RKC or Ader line of kettlebells, I liked what I saw.
By the way, I did cop a 24 kg Ader kettlebell on Ebay a couple of days ago for about 35 bucks...suhweet! My main motivation for purchasing kettlebells was the hope of rehabbing a nagging shoulder injury, I probably got from years of overtraing and always training heavy in the gym, MMA, as well as not icing, heating, and getting timely deep tissues massages to the shoulder in question over the years.
I've been told and read kettlebells are great at increasing joint mobility, strength, power, endurance, as well as shedding pounds while increasing lots of functional muscle. Well, let's just say, that after a week or KB training, I am a believer. I definitely feel the difference in my should. My range of motion has increased greatly, and I definitely see a difference in my strength, power, and flexibility.
I definitely want to learn a lot more from the experts, and found quite a few right here in my own backyard. I just missed the deadline for the next workshop at The Kettlebell Club, here in Houston. However, after watching one of its instructors in the following video, I definitely will be looking out for the next one.
Check out Jay's strength & mobility training. Talk about getting a lot done in a little time, this truly defines my theory of "Hit it, get it, get out, and go home."

Why Your Resolutions Suck
"He who breaks a resolution is a weakling; he who makes one is a fool."
--F.M. Knowles--
------------------------------------------
First, I would like to say happy new year folks. I hope you get all that you are after in 2008 and beyond.
I'm going to begin '08, by getting something off my chest. Ughhhh.....I've heard so many "so-called" fitness gurus and MDs on every news program in the past few days, as well as received far too many emails from the aforementioned in regards to new years resolutions and fitness advice.

However, that quote from F.M. Knowles, mentioned above, is the best advice yet.I'll be the one to tell you, resolutions suck, and set you up for failure. It's only January 3rd, and statistics show, most people have already given up on their resolutions, and quite possible, so have you.
Honestly, I'm glad you did. Resolutions are too unspecific. For example, you may say you are going to start working out this year. You go and join a gym, hire a personal trainer, or even start running at your local park.
However, just deciding to begin exercising is not enough, in spite of what the morning show health & fitness "gurus" may claim.
By the way, those morning show "so-called" gurus, for the most part, are only giving out "generic" advice. They don't know you, playa, and have no clue about your current fitness level, pre-existing health conditions, family health history, or personal goals.......Whoa.....stop for a second.
There's the word we are looking for....GOALS. Screw resolutions. Set goals instead. Resolutions tend to be too absolute and rigid Resolutions usually don't work. Goals do.
Think about a few of the things you want to accomplish with your health. Write those goals down, and focus on one of those goals. Once you attain it, move on to the next goal.
For example, instead of making a resolution to start eating better, set a goal to start eating breakfast, lunch, and dinner for the next week, no matter. Once you begin this new habit, start each meal with lean protein, and cover half of your plate with fresh veggies.
Better yet, set a goal to drink more water, at least one cup (8oz.) every other hour, daily.
Better yet, set a goal to drink more water, at least one cup (8oz.) every other hour, daily.
It does not have to be all or nothing. Most wars are won via a collection of small victories. The war against an unhealthy lifestyle shouldn't be any different.
Once you set attainable goals for yourself, you definitely need a supporting team of those who share your goals and interest. Keep in mind, no matter how great a player is, it's his or her team that helps him or her win. This even includes players in individual sports such as the UFC or tennis. The champions of those sports have a team of coaches, trainers, and training partners.
You still have time to get together with your new team of supporters, ditch those resolutions, and begin achieving your goals.
The question is, "are your ready" to ditch those useless resolutions, and begin to create new habits via your attainable goals?
Yours in health,
Sincere "The People's Trainer" Hogan
