A Successful Fitness Program Begins With an Open Mind and Total Self Motivation!

As a professional trainer I constantly shock people when I say that certain personality traits have to do with the success of a fitness program more than lifting weights and nutrition. You see the fact is that lifting weights, nutrition, and behavior change only go so far. If the person isn't open to trying new things and filled with plenty of self motivation the success of the program is limited.

I am always honest and up front with new potential clients and trainees when they approach me for my services. They have heard of how hard hitting kettlebell training is and they tell themselves that they want to do it right away, however when they actually start doing it they realize that true fitness comes at a price! If you don't have the mental fortitude to allow the molding process of your body to take place you will never succeed. There is no quick fix, miracle pill, or fad diet to bail you out of your fitness woes. Your body must go through physical hell in order to come out stronger on the other side. 

True fitness and strength training programs succeed only because of the dedication, commitment, consistency, and open mindedness of the participant. Personality trait is everything. The fact is that I have had to tell people that they were uncoachable. Thats right, most people simply don't have what it takes to be truly fit.

Now I don't want to sound arrogant saying that, but the numbers don't lie. The fact is that most gym memberships are only used by about 15-17% of the people that signed up for those memberships. Of those 15-17% that actually attempt to embark on a fitness and strength program only about a half a percent actually know what they are doing. Despite the billions of dollars rolling into the health club industry here in the U.S. this country is still the fattest country in the world. People are not only soft physically, but they are soft mentally. The latter is the real culprit. Diet and workout plans have to be attacked head on. Its all about lifestyle.

So before you decide to embark on your successful journey make sure that you "convince yourself" that it is going to be a success before you start. When you do don't ever give a half effort. Give a full effort. Remember that anyone can train hard temporarily, but only the best train hard and smart indefinitely!

A Chiseled Midsection - The 2 Best Cardio Exercises For Six Pack Abs!

Arnold Schwarzenegger Abs/Abdominals by d_vdm


The best cardio workout for abs must include kettlebell training. For this very reason I have included 2 hard hitting kettlebell drills to help you burn calories at a super rapid rate to give you a hard flat stomach. Take the time to read and apply these 2 kettlebell drills to your personal strength training program to get real results!

1. Kettlebell Man Makers: For this drill you will need the availability of a pair of kettlebells of equal weight. Make sure that you are on level surface and place the bells on the ground between your feet. From here simply squat to grab the bells and properly perform a clean lift to rack the kettlebells at your chest. Once you get them to your chest simply lower the kettlebells back to the ground. Now when you lower them to the ground make sure that you place them about shoulder width distance apart and don't let go of the handles. Once you do this simply perform a squat thrust by kicking your feet back behind you bringing your body into an upright push up position. Finish by kicking your feet back up to stand up and clean the bells for the subsequent repetition.

2. Dual Kettlebell Static Walks: For this drill you will once again need the use of a pair of kettlebells. Make sure that you have an open flat surface to perform. To begin, properly clean the bells to your chest and press them overhead. Make sure that your shoulders are locked into their sockets and that your elbows are locked into place. This will allow you to better support the weight overhead. From here simply start a walk for 25 yards with the bells locked out overhead. This will help you to develop superior core strength and I promise you will feel the effects of it on your cardiovascular system too! If you are serious about burning belly fat then you have got to include kettlebells into your cardio for six pack abs workout! Remember that anyone can train hard, but only the best train smart!

The Pure Body Workout - The 2 Best Strength Training Exercises Without Weights!


Strength training without weights can be very effective if you have a good plan in place. This is why I wrote this article because you can apply the following 2 exercises to your personal program for some serious results.

1. The 3 Count Burpee: This is an exercise that incorporates total body effort. Essentially it is called a 3 count because there are 3 steps that make up a single repetition. To begin this drill simply stand with your feet about shoulder width apart. The first count (or step) involves crouching down and placing your hands flat on the ground in front of you. Count 2 involves kicking your feet back behind you bringing your body into an upright push up position. Finally, count 3 involves kicking your feet back up underneath you and standing up. All of this equates to a single repetition! This is a total body strength and cardio workout that doesn't require a single weight. Give it a shot.

2. The Walking Side Lunge: This is an exercise that will surely get your attention. To begin, make sure that you have a bit of open flat space to work with. Stand once again with your feet at shoulder width distance. Now for the sake of this article lets address doing this on your right side first. As you stand be aware that you are going to be moving to your right. From your stance you want to laterally lunge (or step) with your right leg wider than the angle of your shoulder. You want to place all of your weight primarily on your right leg. Make sure to keep your right foot flat and slightly angle your right foot away from you (only slightly!) 

As you descend in the side lunge make sure to kick your rear back by bending at your hip first. As you lower your body into the lunge simply keep your left leg straight with your left foot planted. As you stand up out of the lunge simply step laterally with your left foot bringing your feet back to a shoulder width stance. From here laterally lunge with your right leg again to keep moving your body in the RIGHT direction. These workout exercises are highly effective without the need for weights. Remember to train hard, but train smart!

Nuke the Calories - The Best Cardio Workout to Burn Fat!


Cardio workouts to lose weight and burn calories must be intense in nature. In my professional opinion you have got to throw out the treadmill and pick up the kettlebell my friend. That's right, I said kettlebell! By now you are probably somewhat familiar with this ancient strength and conditioning device or have at least heard of it. Kettlebell circuit training brings an intense form of cardiovascular workout to the table to help you incinerate calories and burn the body fat right off of your midsection.

By engaging in a series of whole body lifts with the kettlebell in the form of a circuit you will elevate your level of perceived exertion quicker than anything else you will try. Kettlebell circuits involving swings, snatches, jerks, figure eights, and windmills will get your body strong and fit by forcing you to adapt to a constant resistance within a different movement each time. This would certainly be a true bodybuilding cardio workout for you to pack on lean muscle while simultaneously developing you the conditioning of a race horse! 

This style of circuit training goes beyond being just a cardio aerobic workout. It is very anaerobic in nature, therefore enabling you to burn a ton more calories at a more rapid rate. Take the time to invest in learning the various lifts to perform with kettlebells. Even learning the most basic swing you stand the chance of getting a truly hard hitting cardiovascular workout just from this single lift.

By incorporating kettlebell training into your personal program you open up a door that is full of fitness potential. Don't sale yourself short. Get acquainted with kettlebell training to drastically improve your cardio workout. Nuke the calories and fat starting today my friend. Remember that anyone can train hard, but only the best train smart.

Real Man's Workout - The Best Workout For Men in 2 Exercises!


I will tell you right away that real muscle building workout exercises have to include whole body movements that stimulate many of your muscles at once instead of isolating a specific muscle group. The best example of this would be the incorporation of kettlebell training into your personal program.

You see kettlebell training ultimately focuses in on the manipulation of bodily movements rather isolating particular body parts. To help you out I have included 2 great exercises for you to include in order to get a REAL man's workout!

1. The Double Arm Kettlebell Swing: The double arm swing is the most basic lift that you can perform with the ancient kettlebell. This movement involves swinging the bell from between your legs up to chest level. This is done by implementing a technique in kettlebell training known as the hip snap.
The hip snap is done by constantly and fluently flexing and extending at both the hip and knee joints to build body momentum to swing the kettlebell. This is no doubt a cardio and strength workout exercise combination for achieving superior results. Hundreds of your muscles have to work together in order to pull this off.

2. The Dual Kettlebell Renegade Rows: For this particular lift you will need the availability of a pair of bells of equal weight. Get into an upright push up position stabilizing your body on the kettlebells with them at shoulder width distance. From here execute a push up. Once you ascend in the push up stabilize your body and then perform a row with the bell bringing it to your ribcage.

As you perform the next push up switch sides to row the opposite bell. You are getting a heck of a workout by incorporating both push and pull movements within a single exercise. This is an exercise workout routine for real men that desire real results. Take the time to include kettlebell training into your own program. Remember that anyone can train hard, but only the best train smart my friend.

The circuit of pain is a kettlebell circuit that you won't soon forget. This circuit training workout is a bodybuilding breakthrough! The concept is simple. You will use one kettlebell on one side of your body for 5 exercises totaling 5 repetitions. Once you finish the one side of your body then move on to immediately polish off the unworked side of your body. 

To implement the best circuit training workout on the planet start with a kettlebell in one arm. Pick any five exercises you wish to go through for 5 reps. It doesn't matter which kettlebell lifts you want to use, as long as, each lift flows smoothly in transition from one to the next.

Once you complete both sides allow yourself about a minute and a half rest before attempting another round. This concludes your high intensity circuit training workout.
