Best Ways to Burn Belly Fat
I often get asked, “What’s the best way to burn fat and lose my belly?” People want to know if aerobics is better than strength training, or if traditional cardio exercise is better than intervals.
Well, to say I've done them all would be an understatement.

The Omnivore's Dilemma by Michael Pollan is a fascinating book that details the changing eating habits of Americans. I can't recommend it highly enough. It explains how, over the last 30 years, we have become a nation that eats vast quantities of corn ­ much more so than Mexicans, the original "corn people." Most folks assume that a chicken nugget is just a piece of fried chicken, right? Wrong! Did you know, for example, that a McDonald's Chicken McNugget is 56% corn?

Mountain climbers for your flat abs RETURNS...(featuring CHESTER..)

OK-some have asked for a "simpler" variant on the Mt. climber..sorry about the low audio,

Remember:even when standing almost upright,if you can flex @ the knee,hip(and a bit..)the spine,
you WILL contract that rectus and get some good ab work!!

KIRK-2-THOR..month 2..

               Well,Summer's officially gone the way of the dodo:


Getting my head back on straight for the NEXT phase of my workout plan has proven to be a bit more of a challenge than even I anticipated.
My arms are still sore from too fast a rise in the Russian KB 'trip,My training business took a hit from both
the season,and the back-to-back holiday that IS Sept.
But hey,as we say in GS(KB sport,that is..)"DO THE SETS",meaning,"DO THE WORK"

...so it's:
 back to lifting 3 days a week and working my kettlebell training back up to 10 min. sets...


HEY:

for my LEG day(wed).--lotsa lunges,or lotsa squats?...       I'll ask YOU:

Stay tunes for a guest 'blog from the man who designed my program...later this week!!
Excelsior!!

kirk-2-thor...quitting???

OK:SO today,i really feel like quitting,if only for a day or two..My arms still hurt,now my back is yelling at me for doing those extra "squeeze-sets" for lats 48hrs. ago.DAMN.BUT,the holiday weekend is almost here,which means my 4-week check-in is almost here too!Those who have been asking for the specifics of my training program,i'll just say that i follow the workouts of a guy i really trust...with some Kettlebell "tweaks",as well as adding my Russian KB workouts..MY biggest issue for the last 3.5 weeks?
SLEEP !!!Or rather,lack thereof...without the recovery,my results have stalled and died!! I could publish all the research on hormonal changes,etc. that occur when the body does not get enough sleep,but today,over my 1 cup of "Joe,i feel more like asking you'all..
How do YOU "reset your "body-clock" when it blows a gasket?..Kirk-2-Thor is meant to be another 8 weeks of my life..i am working it hard,and after only 4 weeks,i AM stronger,but this sleep thing is now starting to catch up with me,,
Check in Friday for more "food porn",and send me your sleep/recovery ideas?

"The opposite of winning isn't losing, its quitting." You can't quit. You just can't. Doesn't matter how hard of a day yesterday was, or how hard today will be. Quitting is not an option.--Scott Sonnen
