Why Z-Health and Kettlebells?

Ok, so it is 9:05pm in Denver, CO on July 5, 2009 and I'm chilling in the airport waiting to go home. Five days ago, I made my way to this beautiful city to train with the one and only, JWood (a.k.a. Jason Wood from How do you move.com). What a learning experience!

Jason and I trained clients, discussed fitness with Josh Hillis, went sightseeing, hiked, worked out, watched fireworks, shot some video and made some incredible discoveries about the human body and mind. We started Thursday off with Jason's private clients at 5:45am and continued on until we finished around 9:00pm that night. What a day! And what a trainer! I watched as Jason interacted with his clients, teaching them Z-Health and Kettlebells. I was amazed at how well he was able to teach them movement drills and how important follow-up homework for the client really is.

And you know what the best part is? Not a single client of Jason's has any pain! He has been able to help an individual sleep through the night who hasn't had a full nights sleep in over a year. And he helped her to do this in only two weeks! Amazing right?!

Jason not only helped me clear up some of my own questions about Z-Health and the RKC, but gave me a better understanding on how these two systems work and just how amazing they really are! I have so many new ideas and ways to incorporate the program into my clients' routines that I can't wait to get started.

He was also able to teach me some key points to look for with my own clients, and how to be a better individual personally and professionally. I leave my experience with Jason to be uplifting and insightful, and I would highly recommend anyone take the time to work with him!

I had an amazing time in Denver, CO and I already can’t wait till my next trip! Jason, I can’t thank you enough for taking the time to show me around such a beautiful city, but most importantly for putting trust and time into my life and education. I have been blessed to meet you, Josh Hillis, and so many other amazing people!



Good Luck and Great Health!

Butt-Kickin Sandbag!

Check out this awesome sandbag routine! This is a great way to get some sandbag squats, upper body / abdominal strength, flexibility and cardiovascular gains in one simple combination. With my gymnastics background I'm always looking for unique ways of exercising, especially when squatting, so combining these exercises were a great way to fit my creative needs. To make this even more challenging try doing the candlestick (or deck squat) on a lower surface (or floor), or see how fast you can perform it correctly.

Let me know how it goes!

Get Fit Quick!

How quickly do you want results? Immediately! That is why I choose to perform full-body, interval training, workouts. The harder I push my body, the faster I get results. It's like getting more bang for your buck!

Training metabolic-conditioning workouts three times a week allows me to achieve maximum fat-burning results, while allowing other days of the week for more heavy strength training. This does not mean that you can't combine strength training with your interval workouts, it is simply another method to try.

Here I have composed a great conditioning workout that combines sandbags and the TRX suspension unit. Using these two implements allows for a great variety of exercises to be completed without spending a lot of money. Repeat this workout 3-5 times and I'm sure you'll be breathing hard and sweating pretty good!

Good Luck & Great Health!
