In my recent "Fitness Answer Man" article in the Herald Mail, I described my 5 favorite fitness tools.
Well as a special bonus, I made a video of a simple fat loss circuit using these tools:
1: Kettlebell
2: Weight Vest/Bodyweight
3: Medicine Ball
4: Resistance Tubing
5:Stability Ball
Spielberg I'm not, so don't judge me on the quality of the video ;P

Play Your Way Fit
Something I'm noticing that's really cool in my boot camp is people like to play.
We started doing more game based fitness drills, and my campers are getting into it.
We did a game at the end of camp the other day with a 2lbs handled medicine ball that we had fun with and really challenged their fitness and power endurance.
They all took turns throwing this ball in one of 4 ways that I showed them down a soccer field, then ran after it.
After the ball stopped moving, the next person would throw it. So on and so on for 10 minutes. They were surprised how tiring it was.
Sometimes you have to just play.
Don't get bogged down in exercise science, and just PLAY!
Talk to you tomorrow,

2 quick, calorie burning workouts...
I've put together 2 new workouts for ya to try.
These a timed set circuits, which are excellent for burning a rack of calories, and building endurance!
For these workouts, you'll only need a set of dumbells. Get a set heavy enough to make you work, but not so heavy that you can't keep the weight moving. 15 lbs should work for most females, 30-35lbs for most men.
Do the exercises for 45 seconds each with 15 seconds between exercises for 6 minutes of total work per set. Take up to 90 seconds rest between sets and complete each circuit 2 times each
Let's go!
Circuit#1
1. Single dumbell "goblet"squat
2.Bent Over Dumbell row (2 arm)
3.Hands on dumbell pushups
4. Kneeling dumbell lateral raise
5. Dumbell curl (alternating arms)
6. Single dumbell standing rotation
Circuit #2
1. Shouldered dumbell reverse lunge
2. Lying dual dumbell pullover
3. Overhead press
4. Staggered stance dumbell upright row
5. Close grip, knees down, hands on dumbell pushups
6. Basic crunch w/dumbell on chest
We're going to do workouts just like this at our upcoming "Fat Blaster" Boot Camps!
45 minutes, 3 days a week at beautiful Hagerstown Fairgrounds park we will run, lift, throw, push, and pull our way to a leaner, more fit Hagerstown!
Our first camp begins Monday, November 3, 2008. We have an indoor location in case of unsafe conditions.
