TRON lives(geek alert..even for the AARP crowd!!

OK- so i just saw 23 mins. of Tron Legacy in Imax/3-D...
Walt's ghost made me take a blood oath of silence, so instead,enjoy this
French version,done with CARDBOARD !!!!!

(The presentation Rocked,btw..)

Paranormal Kettlebell Activity-in IMAX and 1-D

Go figure,that's yours true on the left,pumping through my Jerk set last night..
.....weird.

..and on a Sunnier note,John Wild actually pulling down a 'bell from Aasgard with sheer
will power..(look FAST!)

  Train hard,train safe!

The road to my first KB competition..

..began today..i figure i have 16 good weeks to train..
With the just created Facebook group page*,i hope to
have a base of support that only social networking can
provide..I will go on record and say that:
Whatever i'm lifting on Valentine's Day--THAT's the
KB weight ill compete with!!
(Guys:10 min. long cycle 2 kb's,20 min long cycle,1 kb )

There will also be women's events,and the new "strongsport" as well!
(*search:"road to Reebok" to check/join the FB group!!)

SB abs for flat tummy?-YOU GOT IT!!

A SB(Swiss Ball/gym ball)is a great tool for showing new clients how they NEED to be in touch with the
PELVIC TILT if they are going to get stronger in the 'core:
to wit:

The "groundwork" for
ALL Mountain Climbers,this isometric
is "simple-not-easy"
..Next time you hit the'gym,try it!!

"put that coffee DOWN."..and be a fitness pro!!(ADULT LANGUAGE)

Oh boy..
Time to rev up the single best biz-speech put to celluloid,
and Alec Baldwin's best 7 mins. ever..
I understand Mamet wrote this new scene just for the movie..

Scary,having to sell one's self,finding this week's quotient of
self-confidence,reminding ourselves exactly what we have to offer..
Interpersonal contact,asking  a new client to trust in you,as
the qualified fitness/wellness practitioner you claim to be..
Our"payoff" must always be how we impacted,in the best way possible,
the lives of those we serve,our clients.
Hey--make no mistake--I LOVE $$$$$$,i would LOVE to retire before
i DIE....but i watch this clip..
1.Because everyone ROCKS,and
2.It's a sobering reminder that I am NOT as bad off as these guys!!
3. I don't ever have to become someone i'm NOT,just for the Steak Knives..or the Caddy.
All the more reason that,at the end of the day...maybe i haven't
recouped my 401 K $ "hit" from 2009,BUT i'll still sleep OK,
knowing i helped:
My parkinson's client
My TKR client
My double hip replacement client all lead a MORE functional life.
..and showed 3 folks the value of Tabata training with ropes..
..and that's before lunch!!
Ah,Al with a jawline....Back to work!!
REMEMBER:
A.....B.....C.........

Kettlebell Barbie can kick Ken's A** !...

Very often my Kettlebell coach will talk about"skinny-strong":
That's how the Valery method makes fitness functional by teaching
the movements of the 3 classic KB lifts with (near)perfect technique.

At the recent AKC challenge event,we got a perfect example of
a woman who is a wife,a mom,and a professional.She knows how to run in,
workout hard/fast,shower,and run out in like..30 mins.

The event?
6min. sets,1 switch(3MPH):Jerk/snatch/Long cycle..
Oh,and only 2mins. rest between each lift !!

(ERIN jerked a 16kg.'bell
-that's 35 lbs.-and 9 lbs MORE
than yours truly..)
Way to go!!!
