The 60 Rep Workout!!

Hey All,
I created this workout for my client Frank who turned sixty on Wednesday. I like to keep things fresh with a little themed based workout every once in a while.

This is a timed based routine. With each exercise you are trying to complete 60 rep in as short a time as possible. The client is allowed to take a breather if they need (they will)but it should be a very brief breather!! Don't sacrifice form for speed!! Have fun and interchange exercises if you like

The 60 Rep Workout!!
Kettle snatches (40-45 lb)
Barbell push press (45 lb bar)
Wall ball shots (20 lb ball)
TRX or body rows
600 meter concept row (I know, its not 60, but sixty was to short of a distance)

Enjoy and Keep Moving

Hey Movers and Shakers,
Here is the video I promised. If you attempt any of these exercises, please get proper instruction first. Injuries can occur if you don't know how to handle the kettle bell!

Have fun, and keep moving,
Scott

The "New You"

Hey Everyone,
I gonna keep this post short and sweet. I am recovering from a small surgery that I had last week. The best thing to come out of this surgery it forced me to kick back and do a lot of sitting around last week. This allowed me to almost complete my new weight loss program called the "New You". This is actually a re-creation of a pretty successful weight loss program that we used to run about 7 or 8 years ago. I have been working hard to re-vamp the nutrition program, and completely change the exercise program. So, I am excited that it is almost finished.... I will keep you posted!


Change is coming............ The New You!

Keep moving
Scott

The Water Pots

The Water Pots

Unknown Author

A water bearer had two large pots, each hung on the ends of a pole,
which she carried across her neck.

One of the pots had a crack in it while the other pot was perfect and always delivered a full portion of water. At the end of the long walk from the stream to the house, the cracked pot arrived only half full.

For a full two years this went on daily, with the woman bringing home
only one and a half pots of water.

Of course, the perfect pot was proud of its accomplishments. But the poor cracked pot was ashamed of its own imperfection, and miserable that it could only do half of what it had been made to do.

After 2 years of what it perceived to be bitter failure,
it spoke to the water bearer one day by the stream.

"I am ashamed of myself, because this crack in my side causes water to leak out
all the way back to your house."

The water bearer smiled, "Did you notice that there are
flowers on your side of the path, but not on the other pot's side?

That's because I have always known about your flaw, so I planted flower seeds on your side of the path, and every day while we walk back, you water them."
"For two years I have been able to pick these beautiful flowers to decorate the table." Without you being just the way you are, there would not be this beauty to grace the house."

...............

Each of us has our own unique flaw…
But it's the cracks and flaws we each have that make
our lives together so very interesting and rewarding.

You've just got to take each person for what they are
and look for the good in them.

To all of my crackpot friends,
have a great day and remember to smell the flowers,
on your side of the path.
