Health & Fitness Is My Number 1 Priority!

Hey there,

IS IT YOURS??  I find the winter months to be a time that many people just don’t get into their fitness routine, for whatever reason.  Well, we’re now approaching the final days of February and I suggest exactly what I suggested last winter…………”Wanna Summer Body?  Start training NOW!”  If you set up a Blueprint that you can actually accomplish, your summer body awaits.

If you don’t set up a Blueprint………..you will have a tough time finding your summer body and then it’s WINTER AGAIN!!

Don’t let this happen to you, START NOW!

Week #2 for 2010~Done, Gone, ?? Are you on your fitness path yet??

Well, it is coming and going just like last year.  We are in week two for this new decade, new year, new whatever you want to label it.  Are you on your fitness path yet?  Have you started a blueprint plan to see exactly what you need to accomplish to hit your targets this year?

Come on in an enjoy some support.

Great Fitness Concerns and Questions Answered

The great questions just keep coming in:

Here is one from Anthony…..

“…was talking to boss about working out, his bench press routine right now consists of 2 or 3 sets of 25 reps of 225, plus 2 or 3 sets of dumbell press with 85’s or so. As I try to get back into lifting, I am thinking that I should lean towards slightly higher reps than I have in the past…since I have always tended to try to move up the weight fast, leading to the occasional long-lasting injury. However, I also recall that Manny (Osteopath), suggested that high reps may put excess stress on tendons. He was also very much against doing any behind the head exercises (pulldowns or military press) and any exercises while bent over, even with light weights, unless your body was completely supported. Do you have thoughts on limiting the # of reps per set? Any thoughts on completely avoiding behind the neck/bent over exercises?”
