It’s rare that I pimp books – especially if I haven’t written them myself and don’t know the person who wrote it, but I’ve got to tell you about a couple books that hit the shelves a couple weeks ago.

Both are called “The Big Book Of Exercises” and are put out by Men’s Health Magazine and Women’s Health Magazine.  They are 2 awesome books that cover 619 exercises – including pictures, detailed descrptions, etc. and the exercises are split up into what areas of the body they predominantly work, etc.

But if you want to know the COOLEST part…the MOST AWESOMEST (my word) part…the HOTTEST DAMN-DIGGITY part…the WICKED COOL part (with thick Boston accent)…the ASS-KICKINEST (my word) part – okay now I’ve run out of phrases for cool so I’ll just get to the point…

Watch the video to see why these books are so bloody awesome and why I wholeheartedly recommend them!

I think these books should be a part of everyone’s fitness library.  To get your hands on them, click the images below and you’ll be taken to Amazon.com or you can head to your nearest bookseller or I imagine you could get them from the Men’s Health and Women’s Health websites.

P.S. – I get ZERO money by telling you to go buy those books…nada…zilch…not a damn thing so don’t think I’m pimping something just because I get paid.

2009 is quickly coming to a close so I thought I’d make you this quick little video to say thanks…

I hope you have a very Happy New Year and a killer 2010.  I’m very excited about 2010 and you should be as well.  It’s going to be an awesome year!

Stay safe and I’ll talk to you soon!

The New Year is fast approaching and you know what that means…

…New Year’s Resolutions, and you know what that means…

…everybody telling themsevles they’re going to “lose weight” this year and that’s an awesome thing.  If you need to lose weight, then NOW is the time to get up off your butt and do something.

The troubling thing is that most ladies won’t stick with their resolutions past a few months, if they even make it that long and I know it’s because their goals and resolutions have a huge problem.

Check this video out to see what I’m talking about and to see what your goals and resolutions should really look and sound like.

So what do you think?

Does that make sense?

I can tell you this – if you set goals the way I tell you, it makes it much easier to actually achieve them.

Leave a comment below and let me know what your resolutions are for this year.

I hope you have an awesome and safe New Year!

P.S. – One of my resolutions for 2010 is to give you more content on this blog so look out for a lot more videos, articles, nutrition tips, free workouts and special announcements.  2010 is going to rock and I want you to come along for the ride!

When I run boot camp, I try to mix in “regular” exercises like lunges, push-ups and big “combination” exercises along with some “odd” or out of the ordinary exercises.

I thought I’d share with you one of my new favorite boot camp exercises – The Plank Thrust.

I don’t know if I invented it, or if I saw it somewhere and it was stored waaaay back in my memory…but I’m going to claim it as my own

It’s a pretty good core exercise and even hits the booty a bit…and if you pair it with some other “big” exercises it makes for an awesome full body workout.

Rather than trying to describe how to do it, I thought I’d make a video showing you what it should look like.

Be sure to put this fun little exercise in your workouts and let me know what you think.

Until next time…

There are a number of ways I like to torture, I mean train the ladies in boot camp.  Sometimes I pair a couple especially devious exercises together to make your arms wiggle, while other times I might throw in a couple abs exercises that make it hurt to laugh the next day.

I do it out of love…really I do.

I’ve also got a number of “favorite” boot camp exercises including Push-ups, Mountain Climbers and Plank Extensions, just to name a few.

Another one of my favorite boot camp exercises is the Squat.

There are a number of different variations of the Squat that we do in boot camp, but the problem is most ladies do them wrong.

That’s not a good thing.

Give this video a watch and see how to do Squats properly, that way you can make sure you get the most out of each and every boot camp workout and be on the way to getting you firm, toned and sexy legs and booty.

Have an awesome day!
