How To Workout at the playground to build muscle and lose weight

Floor Press, work up to a max single, then drop it down for a heavy tripleWeighted Dips paired with Weighted Pull-ups, total of 50 pull-upsKettlebell Swings x 200 (part of the November Challenge)Only do the kettlebell swings if you are doing the November Challenge, otherwise you can do a bit of rear delts or some bi's and tri's to finish off.

I am always looking for new and challenging exercises to do with a kettlebell. Surfing youtube I found a cool compound exercise of burpees and snatches. In this video they use a barbell, but you could just as easily use a kettlebell, or ever dumbbells. Or you could try a different variation with a kettlebell. Here is an older video of me doing kettlebell pukers (burpee into clean and press). Compound exercises will get your heart rate up and are great for improving your conditioning or burning fat. You will get tired really fast though so be sure to take care of anything else you need to do first, then use this as a finisher or as the only exercise in the workout.

Hey guys, Alwyn Cosgrove is one of my favourite fitness authors. I derive a lot of my training philosophy from his book, The New Rules of Lifting. Below is his latest newsletter. I posted it because it can help all of us achieve our fat loss goals. I once read that Albert Einstein started from a position of what he knew was impossible and worked backwards from there, with almost a child-like curiosity, before arriving at something that actually worked. It's actually a fantastic approach as it forces you to avoid any traditional thinking. You create new ways of doing everything. This is what Mike Roussell and I did when we decided to redesign Warp Speed Fat Loss. We started with what we knew would be impossible? Instead of thinking of a long, slow approach to fat loss (i.e months and months of dieting) we took the opposite approach: What if you could lose all the fat you wanted in one day? Impossible. One week? Nope. One month? ...... Check it out: Warp Speed Fat Loss 2.0 launches today. -- AC ================================== Here's an interview I just did with Mike Roussell: Mike: Thanks for taking the time to do this interview. First so we all have some perspective, how long have you been a trainer? Alwyn Cosgrove: I started training people in 1989. Actually 1987 if you count teaching martial arts classes. In 1995 (after college) I went full time. Since day one I've been very particular (i.e. ANAL ) about what I do. I track and tweak everything. When we opened Results Fitness in 2000, we really started to gather a lot of data. We currently have 250 members and we track all their workouts and body comp changes week in and week out. Mike: So it is like you run your own fat loss studies at your gym? Alwyn: Exactly. We had read all the studies showing interval training to be superior for fat loss than steady state training. This confirmed what we were seeing with our clients. But I am a big believer in that there is no physiological limit to the amount of weight a person can lose in a week, month, or year so I kept tweaking and tracking the results. Mike: What has been one of your biggest breakthroughs lately? Alwyn: One day it hit me -- cardiovascular programming is an ass-backwards concept. I don't know when I first thought this - but it was confirmed to me when viewing Lance Armstrong's performance in the New York Marathon. I'd been taught through my college education and countless training certifications and seminars that cardiovascular exercise was necessary to improve the cardiovascular system and subsequently aerobic performance. But there seemed an inherent flaw in that argument…. Why didn't Lance Armstrong - with perhaps one of the highest recorded VO2 max levels in history - win the New York Marathon? Or beat people with lesser aerobic levels than himself? The greatest endurance cyclist (and possibly endurance athlete) of all time - the seven time Tour De France winner - finished 868th and described the event as the “hardest physical thing” he had ever done. Runner's World Magazine actually examined Lance's physiology (and VO2 max which was tested at 83) and compared them to the numbers of Paul Tergat (the World Record holder and defending NYC Marathon Champion at the time). They concluded: "This figure wouldn't mean much if it weren't for the pioneering research of famed running coach Jack Daniels, Ph.D., who first published his Oxygen Power tables in 1979-- According to Daniels, who's rarely off by more than a smidgen or two, a max VO2 of 83 is roughly equivalent to a 2:06 marathon" Based on his other physical qualities the magazine suggested that Lance was capable of running 2:01:11. The world record at the time was 2:04:55 Lance ran 2:59:36 (and don't misinterpret me - that's still a great time). But it's clear that the physiology didn't transfer the way the running community expected. The flaw in this thinking was looking solely at aerobic capacity -- VO2 max - the "engine" as it were. And it's fair to say that Lance had a "Formula One" engine. But he didn't have the structural development for running. Lance was a cyclist - his body had adapted to the demands of cycling. But NOT to the specific demands of running (in fact Lance had only ran 16 miles at once EVER prior to running the marathon). Lance had developed strength, postural endurance and flexibility in the correct "cycling muscles” - but it didn't transfer to running the way his VO2 max did. From this example we know that cardio training doesn't transfer well from one activity to another - and it only 'kicks' in because of muscular demand - so why don't we program muscular activity first - in order to create a cardiovascular response. Makes total sense. So how does this relate to fat loss? We have found that our most successful fat loss programs center around stimulating the muscles to burn more calories - not ramping up and down the cardiovascular system. What matters is total caloric burn and how much you can increase the person's metabolism. It is a total shift in thinking. Mike: Wow. So it is this the death of intervals and cardio? How to you put this into action with clients? Alwyn: What we have found is so great about this approach is that you burn more calories, lose more weight, while putting a lot less stress on your joints. Here's how I like to think about it. Let's look at traditional interval training which uses running. Depending on stride length - walking a mile takes about 2000 repetitions and running takes 1000-1500 and will burn on average 100 calories or so. So if we use an interval training model of running and walking - we're looking at around 1500 reps to burn 100 calories. If we take traditional models of caloric burn - this means we'd need to do 35 miles to lose one pound of fat from our interval training efforts (discounting the metabolic afterburn for now). So we have a problem. It's a very poor "rate of return" on our "rep investment". Additionally - running applies a vertical force of 2x bodyweight on the joints of the lower body. So now we have a dilemma. Let's choose a 180lb deconditioned overweight client. 1500 reps x 360lbs = 540,000lbs of force to burn 100 calories. (The 360lbs is 2x 180lbs) That's a LOT of stress on the joints. Literally - TONS! Now no one was getting injured, but it seemed like there had to be a better way. A better "return"... So -- we started to think of how we could use different interval training methods other than running to get the same metabolic effect without stressing the joints so much. We used the airdyne bike, other bikes in order to create a training effect with less load. But whenever you take the bodyweight out of the equation in cardio - you have to work harder to burn the same calories. So this usually needs more reps. So that didn't seem like a much better idea. At this point we started using metabolic training with weight training implements/kettlebells and bodyweight exercises in the same interval format. So a circuit of five exercises, performed three times round (15 total sets) would actually burn more calories than the same time spent doing traditional cardio. That was a plus. But we could also do sets of just 10-15 reps. So we're looking at 225 total reps (with a force LESS than your bodyweight) as opposed to 1500+ reps at double bodyweight. We gave it a try. Clients loved it (which was a huge plus), and actually started to get better results than we were getting with intervals. So we get more fat loss, less stress on the body, and happier clients. It is a win-win-win. Currently we don't program traditional interval training our regular fat loss clients anymore. So, yeah...it is the death of traditional intervals.

I am in Bangalore, India on a work assignment. It is an amazing place I tell you, friend me, Nathan Donahue, on Facebook or flickr to see the pics. Be sure to mention the blog or I will think you are a creep and not friend you! Anyways, it is an amazing place but not the easiest city to find a proper gym. Especially one with barbells and dumbbells instead of just cardio machines and some mulit-gyms. Needless to say I let this challenge get in my way and failed to train my first few days here. In other words, I bitched out. Luckily I have friends with strong posterior chains who are always looking to motivate me! This video was sent to me by Paul Vaillancourt, professional strongman and owner of Ultimate Fitness. He is doing the massive trap bar deadlift at 20 seconds in. After watching this video I realized I was being a soft little girly man and letting this obstacle prevent me from reaching my goals. As the saying goes, "the weak see obstacles as an inconvenience, warriors see them as challenges!". So, since checking myself I have been hitting the "gym" in the hotel hard. My first workout was pretty simple and not overly challenging as the heat kicked my ass pretty quick. Here it is: mobility work, 30 mins in my hotel room10 pound dumbbell circuit in the "gym", these are the heaviest dumbbells there!Series of high pulls, clean and presses, presses, rows, lunges, squat thrusters, one leg deadlifts, jumping jacks, push-ups, and overhead twits to failure, 30 minutesJump rope to failurePretty basic and honestly not very well thought out. Oh well, the important thing here is I broke the cycle of missing workouts due to a lack of kettlebells or barbells and got back in the game. Tomorrow is another day and a chance for a better training session.India is famous for yoga, which doesn't really interest me, but it also has these traditional wrestling schools called Akara's where locals lift stones and wrestle in the sand. If I can find one of those places it would be awesome!

by: Jayson Hunter Registered Dietitian, CSCSWe are going to be talking a little bit about the confusion there was on the show The Biggest Loser, a lot of people watch that show. In the first week all these people, extremely heavy people lost a ton of weight and then the second week really nobody lost any weight. In fact, to my knowledge, one person gained one pound. So, I want to explain what the confusion is and what exactly happens when you have that rapid weight loss. So, why did people see such amazing results the first week and see none the second week?If we just use this show as an example. They saw so much weight loss in the first week because they obviously tell you that they are on a special type of diet, they don’t really go into the details of what it is, but I can assume that it’s a higher protein, low carb diet. These people are obviously 300/400 lbs because they were eating too much, they were over eating, ingesting thousands and thousands of calories. So, when they got to The Biggest Loser, of course they restricted those calories and put them on a special type of diet. Glycogen is created from the carbohydrates and starches that you eat. So, for every gram that you store in your body, you also store 3-4 grams of water. If you look at it from the stand point of maybe someone was eating 500 – 700 grams of carbs and they were storing all this glycogen and they cut it to 200 grams of carbs, well you can also cut out about 3-4 grams of water for every one of those carbs you just cut out. And obviously that’s weight on the scale. The metabolism kind of goes into shock when this happens so you lose all that glycogen and the extra grams of water which is weight in the end, and then not to mention they were exercising like crazy which none of them had really done before, so they’re going to lose water weight anyway from the amount of perspiration and body changes that are taking place and all the stuff that your body has to do to adapt to that exercise now. Your body generally fluctuates about 3-4% on a daily basis anyway. If you look at it from the stand point of some of those men are 300-400 pounds, a 3 %- 4 % change could be, 12 pounds in either direction. And obviously women that are 200 lbs or 250 lbs, you’re looking at maybe 10 lbs in either direction, 8 lbs in either direction, somewhere in there. Women tend to fluctuate even more then men in regards to water weight on a daily basis just because of the hormone levels. When you saw the weight loss they were getting, such as 15 lbs, 18lbs, I think someone lost 29lbs. Most of that is the initial shift because of eating less carbs, eating less calories as well as just general water weight loss because of the increased activity that they were now doing. It’s very important for people to understand that when you start, you can see these dramatic results but it’s permanent lifestyle changes that allow you to have fast, safe permanent weight loss but its permanent in the sense that you can start by taking off 15 – up to 15lbs in 30 days, but things are going to level off, and you have to make behavioral changes, you have to change your life. There are no quick fixes for anything.If you go to the extreme and say, and again we don’t know exactly what diet The Biggest Loser people are on, but a lot of people go on what they call, a true low carb diet, and a true low carb diet is, maybe 30 grams of carbs for the entire day. It’s low. It’s essentially nothing. When you go on that type of diet it really wreaks havoc on your metabolism, Your goal is to be cycling your carb intake which is going to get you that fast weight loss, but not sacrifice your metabolism because you want that metabolism to be fast all the time. That’s the number one goal.Your body works a certain way and that’s true for all of us, so you need to know the science behind it and while you can lose weight fast, safely and keep that metabolism up, you’re going to need to make those permanent lifestyle changes to keep it off. Don’t get caught up in these changes, these extreme changes of “Man how did they lose 30lbs and I can’t lose a pound.” You got to compare apples to apples here and see what positions their in and see what you’ve been in because as you noticed as you watched the second week of the biggest loser, those guys lost 2lbs, 3lbs, someone gained a pound and that’s their body going through that transition and almost going into a survival mode. I think you’ll find that as you keep watching the show; their weight will start to be more consistent where they’ll consistently lose 2lbs of fat a week or 3lbs of fat a week. You won’t see this wild swing of losing 30 lbs then losing 0 lbs even though they worked just as hard and ate just the same, because your body’s going to adjust, and your body – your metabolism will slowly speed back up and the goal is to try not to get that metabolism to slow down to begin with, try to keep it up at an elevated rate so that it is a consistent, permanent weight loss.Jayson Hunter RD, CSCS is the author of the Carb Rotation Diet.

The Key to Controlling Insulin Levels and Looking Great in Your Mini Skirt By Registered Dietitian Jayson Hunter Insulin level is controlled and manipulated by the glycemic load of foods. In your mini skirt diet plan you want to consume lower glycemic foods to produce a lower glycemic load which keeps your insulin levels lower. By doing this you allow your body to burn more calories rather than storing them as fat. First let discuss what low glycemic is before we decide if it will help you with your weight loss and mini skirt goals. Foods that are considered low glycemic when consumed are foods that do not dramatically elevate your blood sugar levels. Eating foods that are high glycemic will dramatically increase your blood sugar levels. Your body starts to promote the fat storage of these sugars when you eat high glycemic foods because your insulin level increases. When women want to know or ask what foods to eat so they can be skinny and look amazing in that mini skirt they are essentially looking for foods that aren't going to promote the storage of fat. To become low glycemic a food needs to have a mixture of nutrients, be lower in overall sugars and contain a fair amount of fiber with each serving. For example a piece of white bread is a high glycemic food because it consists of processed and refined flour. A piece of whole-grain bread would be a lower glycemic food because it contains a good amount of fiber and other nutrients that would slow down the absorption of your food. Your objective is to choose foods that contain some protein and fast or are a good source of fiber so that you consume a lower glycemic food. Though you also need to look at the big picture and look at what else you are eating for that meal since it is all digested at the same time. When deciding on a meal you want a balance of a lean protein source, 1-2 servings of vegetable and/or fruit and 1 serving of a higher fiber whole-grain carbohydrate food choice. Your total glycemic level is lower when eating balanced like this which means your blood sugar levels don't rise as high and your body promotes fat to be used for energy instead of being stored. When you eat a lean protein source at your feeding opportunities you are also releasing a hormone called glucagon that is the opposite of insulin and counteracts the effect of insulin by promoting the release of fat to be used as energy instead of storing it. So my answer to women who want to know what foods to eat so that they look amazing in their sexy, little mini skirt I would say plenty of foods can work as long as you eat them at the right time and in the correct portions. The best way to your mini skirt goals is to eat a lean protein source at every feeding opportunity and a vegetable that is a good source of fiber along with fiber rich whole grains. Your goals is to avoid high sugar soft drinks, fast food items that are high in fat and processed refined carbs and sugars. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4MKvk8Mo6MI
