Farewell "Juice Man"

Jack LaLanne AKA The Juice Man Died Sunday at age 96 of respiratory failure due to pneumonia. I never had the honor of meeting Mr. LaLanne in person but he was an inspiration to me and many others. He inspired many people to get in shape and eat whole foods way before it became popular to do so. Jack LaLanne was the fitness movement and an American icon. I'm almost in tears as I write this but he lived a fun healthy life and he will truly be missed.

"The only way you can hurt the body is not use it." Inactivity is the killer and remember, it's never too late." - Jack LaLanne

K's Workout

Hey guys this is a kind of modified version of the snowlanta/holiday workout. It's a circuit workout designed to work your whole body in under an hour. Do 15-25 reps each on the exercises that you don't use weights. On the exercises where you do use weights do about 10-12 reps each. On the *burnout do as many as you can of each exercise for 1 minute. Remember to take a 30 second rest before and after each *burnout. Drink lots of water. If you try this workout I would love to hear what you think so shoot me an email or leave a comment. I'm about to do it right now lol

After Holiday Workout

I took some time off from training during the holidays to spend time with the family and get some much needed rest. While on my little vacation like most I consumed lots of "comfort food". I couldn't wait to get back to the gym but unfortunately Hotlanta turned into Snowlanta and my flight back home was delayed. So instead of turning the airport into drunkapalooza I got out my trusty smart phone and began creating a workout that I could do pretty much anywhere. All you will need is 2 dumbbells but there optional. The workout will consist of 7 circuits with about 20-25 reps of each exercise. At the end of each circuit you will do what I call a burnout. In the burnout you will do each exercise for 1 minute none stop.
*Note: Take a 30 seconds break before the Burn Out & after. Drink lots of water.

I got these tips from a book by Mr. Jack Lalanne AKA The Juice man (-: I adore this guy, he is 95 yrs young & probally in better shape than most 20 yr olds. The book is called Live Young Forever. It is a must read. Also if your having trouble staying motivated I urge you to join team beachbody. It is free & you will find people with the same struggles and goals that you have.
