I’m reviewing some serious tools to help you lose fat and get sexy in 2009.  Here’s a great compliment to kettlebells and kettlebell training that you’ll quickly learn to love to hate:

Tool #2 Gym Boss Timer.

The Gym Boss Timer is the greatest invention in the workout world yet!  It is the most evil, sinister little piece of electronic equipment that I have found.  Perfect for delivering beatdowns!

The Gym Boss Timer is a digital countdown timer that you can set both WORK and REST intervals to the second.  It also counts rounds or intervals for you so you never lose track of where you are.  It was originally designed for Tabata intervals which are :20 work / :10 rest.  You can do so much more with it…the possibilities and timing options are endless.

The Gym Boss Timer destroys its competition like Everlast and Ringside.  It’s small, has a clip on it for attachment to gym shorts or a watch and is only $19.99 compared to most timers that start at $120.  The Gym Boss Timer also blows away a wrist watch or a stop watch which neither actually count the rounds and most do not have the dual timer.

One last thing…I contacted Gary at Gym Boss to offer a couple of suggestions and he let me in on a little secret:  they have improved the bell to be LOUDER and also are
working on a digital timer for boot camp instructors that is bigger and
louder but comes in at a lower price point than their competitors.  For my boot camp crew, they will get to experience this first hand.  For the kids at home, you’ll have to plan a trip to the great state of Minnesota to experience it for yourself.  I love my world!

All the way around, the Gym Boss Timer rules!  Click here to buy yours.

It’s that time of year again.  Everyone is thinking about how fat and lazy they were in 2008.  You’ll wake up January 1st 2009, shower, look in the mirror and decide that it’s time to get your sorry ass in shape.  I don’t understand why people have to wait until the beginning of a new year to lose weight, get sexy and get in the best shape of their life.  It’s really a phenomenon.

Everything I am about to mention will NOT replace these two items…
1) ACCOUNTABILITY
2) BEING PUSHED by a personal trainer or workout partner

…that you will receive when you attend my Woodbury/St. Paul kettlebell classes or my RAD Boot Camp.  However, I want to help the kids at home find something that works for them…until they decide it’s time to suck it up and join Kinetic Edge.

Let’s review some serious tools to help you lose fat and get sexy in 2009:

Tool #1 Kettlebells.

I discovered kettlebell training in September 2003.  My body and my life transformed.  Kettlebell training accelerates fat loss and builds killer conditioning.  By now you’ve seen kettlebells and kettlebell training popping up all over the place.  There are a lot of dumb asses out there claiming to be kettlebell trainers like this one right here…

Friends, this is NOT what you do with a kettlebell.  Real kettlebellers don’t wear skin tight Under Armour shirts and “curls for the girls” is so 80s.  I can’t believe they allow this crap in stores.  Actually I can, because the marketers are very good at selling you LIES.  That is an entirely different topic that I am working on…that you will be able to access in a Free Special Report (very controversial) from me very soon.

Back to kettlebell training.  When you want to know the truth about Russian Kettlebell Training, click here.  Dragon Door was the pioneer on getting the word out in the United States about kettlebells.  Their kettlebells are still the highest quality you can find and their instructor training program is the best.

If kettlebell training is something you’re going to explore, I recommend…no,  I highly recommend…no, I demand that you pay (yes, INVEST) in at least a 1-hour private session or a workshop with a Russian Kettlebell Challenge Instructor (click here to find one near you)… or if you are in the Midwest, look me up directly in Woodbury/St. Paul Minnesota (click here for my smiling face )

I am taking on 3 new phone/email coaching clients this first quarter.
When you’re serious about seeing your toes again or getting back in
your skinny jeans, then and ONLY then, contact me here and we’ll talk.

Kettlebell technique.

Kettlebell technique is more difficult than it looks on YouTube.  Trust me, I’ve worked 834+ hours this year alone with all types of people who think they’ll waltz in and pick it up.  Wrong.  Get with an instructor.

Guys you’ll want to start with either

16kg or 20kg max weight regardless of what your ego is telling you.

Ladies you’ll want to start with either

8kg or 12kg.  I promise you’ll be able to lift them properly with strength after 1 or 2 sessions with an instructor.

Kettlebell techique is VERY difficult to learn from any video no matter how good it is.  Working one on one with an instructor will cut your learning curve down drastically.  Let me say this again… GET with a Russian Kettlebell Instructor…capiche?

I’ve gotten some more tools for you to explore in blog posts to come.

Apparently I struck a common chord with some loyal “Beatdown” readers. Here’s some of the quotes/clips I received immediately after sending out that last email. Do yourself a favor getting in the Christmas spirit by watching ‘Christmas Vacation’… “It’s the gift that keeps on givin’ the whole year!”

“Metal plate”

“Just Browsing”

“…was full”

I am back at Kinetic Edge tomorrow afternoon after investing 48 hours in Toronto at a mastermind group called Entourage Marketing put on by Craig Ballantyne. I was blown away by the content that I will be able to implement immediately.

For now, Diesel (”the D-man” as we like to call him) is starting to develop his own entourage…

Here he is a week ago…

and today December 2nd at 7 months old and 105lbs…wondering why he’s so popular
