Fitness Revolution – San Marcos owner, Heath Herrera, M.Ed., CSCS, is a firm believer in giving back to the San Marcos community. Herrera claims “It’s clear that we all really need to stick together and help each other out when we can. We have a really tight-knit group of campers and they always go above and beyond in helping others.”  We will be trading a free workout for every frozen turkey or $10 donation brought in. Herrera goes on further stating “The San Marcos community continues to be overwhelmingly receptive to our program, so it is an absolute honor to have the resources to be able to give to back to such a great cause.”

Fitness Revolution – San Marcos believes that no family should be left without a turkey for the Thanksgiving holiday. “A basic American right that no family should be denied,’” says Heath. “Humbly, we will do everything in our power to make sure as many needy local San Marcos families as possible have a hot meal for Thanksgiving.”

To make the turkey even tastier for needy families this Thanksgiving, HH Fitness will also be providing one coupon to each recipient family for a free month boot camp membership to jump start their fitness in 2011.

It is important to perform full body routines that incorporate pulling and stabilization movements for your back that will improve strength, endurance and range of motion (ROM) to minimize injury.  Once you minimize injury risk your body can work more efficiently towards that lean/toned look you may be looking for.

The following routine is a 30-30 strength circuit we performed recently during our boot camps powered by Workout Muse (Their is a FREE gift at the bottom of this post).  In order to adequately perform this routine you will need to have access to something to perform lying pulls (we used the Lebert Equilizer and TRX suspension trainer), dumbbells or kettlebells, and bands.

Here are the exercises we performed:

If you are new to exercise and/or have not exercised in the last 3-6 months start with level 1 of each of the following exercises.  You should consult with your physician prior to starting or changing your exercise habits.  You will want to perform up 4 rounds of each exercise at 30:30 work to rest ratio.  Watch the videos below to see how the HH Fitness Boot Campers did with this routine:

6:00 am session

8:10 am session

12:00 pm session

4:00 pm sesson

Yes, I even did this workout.  I even demonstrate some of the different levels during my routine

If you would like to get access to any of the equipment we used in this routine you can get them at the following links (Click on the Image):

I initially purchased the Lebert Equalizer for my boot camps to give my members the ability to work on pulling movements without the use of weights.  Once I received the Equalizers I realized they could be used for more than just pulling movements.

It’s one of those foods you look at and say, “I’m going to eat healthy, I think I’ll have the salmon.”

You’ve heard they’re a great source of protein and essential fatty acids.

That’s true.

But trust me, what you’re about to read is very disturbing.

Very.

Before you know it you might be eating a genetically modified fish that’s, well, kinda like salmon, I guess.

I know I won’t be eating it, that’s for sure!

Check out this article to discover the latest bad news about our food supply:

And by the way, if you want an ultra-potent and pure source of essential fatty acids, well, my partners over at Prograde have their awesome EFA Icon on sale this week. That and a couple other products, too. Check out the savings at: http://HHFitness.getprograde.com/specials.html

He gave me permission to share this content with you about the biggest sale he’s ever had at Workout Muse in an effort to raise money to put together the PRO version of their best selling iWorkout Muse app for the iPhone and iPod touch that allows you to build your own custom interval training workout mixed to your favorite music.

Be sure to give it a quick read below because this type of sale doesn’t come around a whole lot and there are ONLY 24 hours left

Get Fit – Get Healthy – Get Sexy

Heath Herrera, M.Ed., CSCS

FROM THE DESK OF BJ GADDOUR, WORKOUT MUSE CO-CREATOR AND FITNESS DIRECTOR

We are getting ready to make the PRO version of the groundbreaking iWorkoutMuse app for the iPhone and iPod Touch based on your feedback and requests!

But first, we really need your help, so please keep reading…

Smartphone applications are very expensive to develop and we need to raise some funds to get the ball rolling so all of our valued followers can realize the power of all of the following upgrades in iWorkout Muse PRO:

- Create custom warm-up and cool-down (pre-workout and post-workout) options to book end your main interval workout to best allow for a total fitness experience, PLUS the ability to create a transitional period that allows for any desired rest and transition between your warm-up, workout, and/or cool-down instead of having to constantly restart the app… this can get annoying!

- Create multiple interval protocols within the same workout instead of being confined to a single interval protocol (e.g. 30 seconds of work, 30 seconds of rest). This function will allow for really fun interval routines like ladders, complexes, pyramids, and the ability to do pretty much any interval workout you can think of! This is my personal favorite feature

- Choose from a variety of sound effects to mark the stop and go for each work period like a gunshot, gong, ringing bell, etc.

- Choose between a male and female voice for the audio instructions

- The ability to control the volume of the music and the audio instructions/sound effects SEPARATELY so that you never miss an audio update on really loud songs with lots of instrumentation for genres like rock and hip-hop

- A phone vibrate option that marks the stop and go

- Provide “__ Round(s) Down” announcements after each round until the end of the set workout duration to better allow people to pace themselves and track their workout

- To pick-up exactly where your music left off when restarting the app so that you don’t have to listen to the same song again and get more musical variety

- And more!!!

So that’s why we’ve put together the following unbelievable sale to help make this PRO app a reality ASAP:

24-HOUR LIMITED-TIME SPECIAL!!!

Help us raise money for the development of THE iWorkout Muse PRO app for the iPhone and iPod touch AND the WorkoutMuse app for the Blackberry and Droid platforms!!

This product includes well over $200 worth of interval tracks for ONLY $20 for a special limited-time ONLY! There are 10 total tracks featuring an eclectic mix of intervals and fitness applications including:

- TWO 50-10 Tracks from Bootcamp Dynamite: Reggaeton and Rock/Hip-Hop ($39.95 value)

- TWO 30-30 Tracks from 30-30 Mayhem: Rock and Orchestral ($39.95 value)

- TWO 20-10 Tracks from Ultimate Tabatas: Hip-Hop and Techno ($39.95 value)

- ONE Pyramid Interval Track from MMA Rockout ($29.95 value)

- ONE 45-15 Track from Resistance Band Training Soundtracks ($35.95 value)

- ONE 15-30 Power Training Track from Kettlebell Kaos ($29.95 value)

- ONE 60-120 Track from Warp Speed Fat Loss ($19.95 value)

The average WM track costs about 20 bucks and now you can get TEN tracks for the same price… this is by far the most insane sale we’ve ever offered so be sure to take advantage!

Thanks in advance for your support here and we know you’re going to absolutely LOVE iWorkout Muse PRO… let’s do it together

Crank it!

BJ

PPPS- If we raise enough money, we’re even going to roll out the Workout Muse application to the Blackberry and Droid platforms, so please forward this email to any fitness junkies or trainers and coaches you know how would love to build their own custom interval workouts mixed to their favorite music on these smartphone devices too:

This produces a killer boot camp-style workout that will supercharge your metabolism for up to 48 hours post-workout, build lean muscle, blast belly fat, and get you into the best shape of your life with our 45-minute express workouts.”

The decision he made was not easy, but important for him to reach his goal as an elite athlete.   Lebron’s main goal as an athlete is to win championships.  In order to do this, he made the hard decision to leave the team he had been with for 7 years to a team that is putting the tools in place to help him achieve championships.  The combination of Wade, James, and Bosh allow the Heat to build a powerhouse to compete for championships.  The three joining forces will not guarantee championships.  They must come together and implement a program, work together, and compete day after day against many obstacles.

Here are the 3 things you need to move forward to losing your fat and building a “championship” body: 

1. Implement a plan that works for you.

Lebron was on a great team, but certain components were missing to have a complete program to win championships.  The same goes for you when it comes to fitness and losing weight.  If you have been running day after day, not strength training, and eating the same things but not losing weight; you need to change your game plan.  You can continue to run, but you must change the way you eat and implement strength training to build the body you desire.

2. Work together with a great support system.

Lebron is joining a support system that will ultimately help him move closer to his goal of winning championships.  He has changed his support system, but they must work together.  The same thing goes for you when it comes to changing your body.  Find family, friends, and/or program that will support you day after day in your journey.  Constantly let your support system know what your goals are.  Ask your support system for assistance when you need help when you find it hard to move forward.

3. Avoid negative feedback for your choices to look better, feel better, and have more energy.

Lebron has gotten a lot of negative feedback for his decision.  Primarily from the former owner of the team he played on.   As you begin to change your body you will receive negative responses from individuals about your decision.  You must remember this decision is for yourself and not them.  If they choose to be negative, do not include them in your plans.  You must realize they are jealous of your decision to change your lifestyle.  If they can’t support you, then you must “cut the fat” and move on.

Now that you have three things to build a “championship” body, put them into action.   Make the right decision and implement a plan, find the right support system, and avoid negative feedback.  If you are not sure exactly where to start with these three tips, here is what one of our superstar clients, Sylvia Benitez, has to say about HH Fitness Boot Camps:

“No other weight loss program has EVER worked for me. The fact that Heath has been side by side with me during this journey is priceless. I have lost such a significant amount of weight that I don’t like to say how much because (now) I’m embarrassed at just how heavy I used to be! My fitness level is better than many half my age. I’m very proud of that.  What a treasure to have the ability to call, text, or email your trainer and get a response immediately. It’s not his staff, it’s not a recording it is Heath himself…I hope that never goes away.  I can never thank Heath/you enough for what he/you has/have done for me.  Never have I met a trainer so truly interested in getting folks healthy, fit and able to enjoy a better quality of life.”
