Hope you had a fantastic Thanksgiving yesterday!  Now it’s time to get after the Black Friday Shopping Craze.

Here are my Top 5 Black Friday Fitness Gift Ideas and Reviews for the workout fanatic in your life…

1 Kettlebells

What says “From Russia with Tough Love” better than this all-in-one fat loss secret weapon cannon ball with a handle?  That’s right. The Russian Kettlebell.

What to look for in a kettlebell…
-Proper balance point of weight to handle
-Thicker handles for added grip strength
-Handle and Body (Bell) cast as one unit (some companies weld their handles on…spells disaster)
-Avoid plate-loaded or selectorized kettlebells for overhead lifts…that is a safety miscue waiting to happen
-Paint job.  Paint should be a textured epoxy to avoid chipping and wear very nicely as you reach your 100,000 snatch rep
-Backed by a Satisfaction Guarantee

There is a HUGE discrepancy in the quality of kettlebells on the market so choose wisely.  By far, the highest quality kettlebell is made by Dragon Door.  I know…I own about 120 of them.

Here’s what Resistance Bands have to offer…

-Portability.  Take them ANYWHERE.

-Easily switch from one exercise to another.
-Easy to set up. Bands can be attached to a door or a banister or step on for INSTANT workout capabilities

-Bands constantly engage your CORE. Both Upper and Lower body exercises will require you to engage more of your core in order to stabilize against the resistance.
-Create resistance from ALL angles. Front, behind, side, low, high, overhead, below…every possible angle.
-Progressive Resistance. The more you expand the band the harder it gets.  Resistance Bands are the ONLY exercise tool that offer this.
-Increased coordination. Due to progressive resistance, stabilizers come into play much more.
-Great for all fitness levels.
-Inexpensive. Most bands are between $20-70 for a set
-Color-coding for the different tension levels (light, medium, heavy, very heavy)

Thursday Oct 14, 2010 10:00am.  Edina SWAT rolls into RAD Boot Camp / Kinetic Edge

Diva Class: “Are you and Kurt under investigation?”

Brad:  “No, they are here to challenge you ”

Diva Class:  “BRING IT ON!!”

Edina SWAT members experience the power of the kettlebell for the first time.  I met captain Kevin Rofidal at the SOTA (Special Operations Training Association) Conference this past spring.  I presented kettlebells in to a community of guys who need to be ready for anything at any time while making very quick decisions under stress.  Kevin was the first to approach me about working his team.

Kettlebells are absolutely incredible for law enforcement, military, paramedics…anyone who has the demands of a physical job.  Implementing strength, flexibility and burst training –kettlebells, in my opinion, are the ultimate all-in-one conditioning tool.  If you are looking for pure strength and mass ONLY, then barbell training (deadlift, squats) is in order.

Here’s Kurt and I with the crew…

Thanks to Kevin and the entire Edina SWAT Team for investing in learning something new!  Glad we could help out those who serve and protect on a daily basis.

Offspring Pays Tribute to His Legendary Father
U.S. Tour Kicks Off Rockin’ Minneapolis, MN

From nostalgic Led Heads to the legacy willed to aspiring drummers and musicians…many attended to pay tribute to “the man who changed drumming and music forever” voiced Jason Bonham last night.

The Legendary Bonham and super group Led Zeppelin have transcended time more than any band in history throughout the musical landscape.  Bonham enlisted archived photography and home video of his childhood sharing the story of growing up in a Legend’s household…in remembrance of his father’s passing 30 years ago.  Everyone could see how emotional this was for Jason and it was very touching to see how grateful he is about paying tribute to his father’s legacy.

*Bonham signing a drum head 10-19-2010*

You may or may not know that I am a gargantuan Zeppelin fan and you may or may not care.  Every kid who plays drums is captivated by John “Bonzo” Bonham.  And myself being tagged  “Little Drummer Boy” am no different.  I started logging hours upon hours behind a drum practice pad way back in 4th grade when I was first told there was no more room in the percussion section and would have to choose a different instrument.  Spite carved a different path and I proceeded to log hours that are required for mastery of any skill (See Gladwell’s Outliers). This past Tuesday night was a special night for me as I grew up in an era without “live” Zeppelin due to Bonham’s passing in 1980.  My only connection was listening to The #1 Hard Rock Band of ALL Time (according to VH1) on cassette and CD.  Jason and crew brought to life the Stairway to Heaven.

“We (the band) are Led Zeppelin fans first,” claimed Bonham as they went first-class.

The talent pool Bonham assembled to honor his father is outstanding!
James Dylan (vocals)
Tony Catania (lead guitar)
Michael Devin (bass)
Stephen LeBlanc (Keyboards, organ,lap steel guitar)
and of course Bonham (drums)

Here’s what you’re in for…

TV Trainer Should “Return Her Kettlebell“

“Quagmire” an awkward, complex, or embarrassing situation [as defined by dictionary.com]

Jillian’s back with her new Kettlebell DVD.  And she has successfully shown millions of Americans

how to hurt themselves.

This has zero to do with what kettlebell “camp” you are from…and everything to

do with an acceptable agreement of form.

Yours Truly was quoted regarding my fondness for Jillian in this Yahoo! article (Read everything here)

This ranks HIGH on the …

I am sure that Jillian is a great person.  In fact some day maybe we will meet and we can talk shop.

All I’m saying is as a “fitness professional” we have a DUTY to change this planet and do so in a way that

EMPOWERS people to take back control of their fitness, exercise and nutrition.

Oh yeah.  According to sources Jill only “plays” personal trainer on TV.

Welcome to Hollywood.

The Biggest Loser Is THE Biggest Loser:  Dirty Secrets Exposed

I have previously blogged about My Top 10 Secrets of the Biggest Loser.

And now former contestants like Kai Hibbard are stepping forward exposing what REALLY goes on behind the scenes in the making of a “reality” TV show surrounding weight loss contestants.  Hibbard lost 118lbs in 12 weeks on the show yet has regained 70 of the 118 lbs.  Props to her for coming clean on the TRUTH.

I hear comments from time to time…  “The Biggest Loser is soooo inspirational.”  or “The contestants on the Biggest Loser work so hard and look so great.”

I knew there were shenanigans behind the curtain of the TV Camera.  Here are some juicy details and my response to them.

BIggest Loser Shenanigan #1:  A Week Is Not a Week on TV

TV tells you that these people lost up to 12 pounds in 1 Week.  Hibbard says a week is not a week on TV.  Sometimes “a week” is 12 days for 15 days behind the scenes.  Remember they are slicing and dicing 7 days (or 12 or 15 days) of footage down into about 40 minutes of content.

BIggest Loser Shenanigan #2:  Weight Loss Techniques Shown can be Duplicated

Remember this is “Reality TV”.  Reality TV = The most drama possible to drive the highest ratings possible.  So reality is not really “reality”.  Biggest Loser Contestants are encouraged to use DEHYDRATION TECHNIQUES to max out their Weight Loss NUMBERS for that given time period.  But what I watch on TV and what is told to me on TV is REAL, correct?  aaaaaaahhhhhhh TV.  Ridiculously unhealthy and promoting unrealistic results.

BIggest Loser Shenanigan #3:  Encouraging 300lb+ Contestants to Run.

Running?  These people can’t even hardly WALK!  Here’s how much stress you put on your joints when you run

Bodyweight x 10-12.  Mine would be 205 x 10 = 2050 lbs PER STEP.  That’s fine if you’ve worked into adaptation.  Not so much if you have successfully planted your ass on the couch for 10 years and then say “I’m going to run a 5k in 3 weeks.”  Uh, no.

BIggest Loser Shenanigan #4:  Pressure of Losing Maximum Weight in 12 Weeks

I run 12 Week Body Transformation Contests at RAD Boot Camp.  I do promote maximum BODY TRANSFORMATION in 12 Weeks.  Our focus is Inches, Body Fat, and pounds.  The scale is not the “tell all”

It’s your journey.  You put on 22, 53, 87 or however many pounds over the course of years.  Unlikely you will strip all of it off in 12 weeks…the 22 is possible and has been done in my gym.

BIggest Loser Shenanigan #5:  Negative Body Image

Anyone who loses over 100lbs in 12 weeks is going to have some former habits take back over when they leave a super structured environment.  Personal chef.  Working out 4-6+ hours per day.  No job.  No spouse. No kids.  That’s as close to “reality” as I can think of.  When the TRUE reality of life sets in back home are the results going to stick?  And when they don’t, what are the thoughts running through the contestants’ heads?

It all comes down to Lifestyle Change.  To make permanent changes you must do things you have never done.

This one is mostly for the LADIES…yet guys pay attention because this is
THE BEST FEMALE SELF-DEFENSE COURSE to send your wife, daughter, mom, friend through along with yourself.

Today is guest interview with my wife Jordan.

I interviewed her on her attendance at Target Focus Training.

TFT is a system created by Tim Larkin designed to save your life or your loved one’s life when faced with a violent confrontation.

What would you do if you met this guy…

walking down the street in broad daylight?

Or this guy…

in the grocery store parking lot while buckling your kids into the car?

It can happen anywhere at anytime.  One more time:  It Can and DOES Happen ANYWHERE at ANYTIME.

ARE YOU PREPARED?

Best Women’s Self Defense Class

Here we go…

Brad: Have you ever taken any other women’s self defense courses or have any martial arts background?

Jordan: No. Nothing.

Brad: You recently attended Target Focus Training in San Diego.  As a female, describe your experience of the course?

Jordan: I was most surprised that I came into the course knowing NOTHING and left the course feeling confident
that I could handle myself in a bad situation.

Brad: Were you skeptical prior to the Target Focus Training Course?

Jordan: Anxious at first because I didn’t know what I was getting into.
Yet I always thought a self defense class would be great but wanted to be sure I invested my time and effort at the best class.

Brad: What did you learn about yourself and about self preservation?
Jordan: That my strength really didn’t matter if I didn’t know how to use it.

Brad: Are you more aware / confident that you would now be able to take care of yourself if a sketchy situation / attack came your way?
Jordan: Absolutely, don’t mess with me.

Brad: Who would you recommend this course to?  Why?

Jordan: I like to find a way to make my sister’s (AND their husbands) and girlfriends go, I wish I would have taken this class before leaving for college.
I don’t have any kids yet but when I do this will be mandatory as soon as they are old enough, just before they leave for college and another review following college.

Brad: Why is it important for women to understand and apply the Target Focus Training methods?

Jordan: Bad things can happen to good people and when you least expect it, I hope I never have to use the information that I’ve been taught
but if I do I am 110% confident I can defend myself in a bad situation regardless of what it is.  You know I lay awake sometimes worried and one of my sister’s is the same.
I suggested this class to her and she said “she’s not worried, she’s got her home protected like Fort Knox.”

Hmm… well I said “what do you do if someone confronts you in a parking lot.”

Sister:  Oh my gosh, I can’t believe I didn’t consider that.

Lesson learned if you are confronted you can’t control, when and or where.  You can only control your ability to protect yourself and Target Focus Training did that for me.  That being said I hope I never have to use what I’ve learned.

Brad: Thanks for investing in this interview!  You provided much needed insight into a subject that no one likes to think about, yet could happen anytime, anywhere.

I HIGHLY recommend Target Focus Training to anyone who wants to know exactly what to do if violence strikes.

Fat Loss Tip #11
Jelly or Jam?

Jam.  As in “jam” to music. The rock gods invented the iPod for you to collect the classics and rock out. Zeppelin, The Cult, GNR, Alice in Chains, Metallica, whatever gets you moving…even if it’s Kate Perry (not my style).

Led Zeppelin is still my favorite group of all-time. R.I.P John Bonham epic drummer.

Summer is here. Get outside, get some music Crankin’ and get a workout in.

Preferable to jam to upbeat and fast tunes…”allegre” for the band geeks.
