New Years Fitness Quick Tip #3

People tend to complicate things.  They get confused by all of the different workout programs and conflicting advice.

All of January I want you to simplify your workouts.

The most important thing is to do four movments every workout:
1.) A pushing movement like standing dumbbell shoulder press or pushups.
2.) A pulling movement like pullups or inverted body rows.
3.) A squatting movement (any squat or lunge variation)
4.) A deadlift, kettlebell swing, or dumbbell swing.

Next thing is just to make sure you are stronger at the end of January than you are now.  Either more reps, more sets, or more weight on the bar.

Right now, don't make it any more complicated than that.

My Mentors

  • The Landmark Forum
    Remove all of the mental blocks in your fitness. Find out why "trying really hard" and "wanting it really bad" hasn't gotten you to the level of fitness you want. If you feel "stuck", this is how you get to the next level.
  • Z-Health Performance Solutions
    Transform the way your body moves. Tiger Woods and Michael Jordan move so powerfully and so gracefully because their mind has a better "map" of their body. Z Health clears up where your body's map has fuzzy spots, and in turn you are stronger, faster, more powerful, and more graceful.
  • Alwyn Cosgrove
    When trainers want to get better at training fat loss, they go to Alwyn Cosgrove. If you're a trainer you need to read everything Alwyn writes.
  • Pavel Tsatsouline
    Pavel is the Russian Kettlebell Head Instructor. This is the school for strength and fitness like no other.
  • Dan John
    Dan is a world class strength coach who simplifies strength and fitness in a powerful and unbelievable way. I had a breakthrough as a trainer when I heard him say "People think it takes hard work to produce high level athletes. It doesn't take hard work. Producing high level athletes takes play."
