Happy Thanksgiving!
Today is a great day to get together with family and eat, drink, and sleep and then eat, drink, and sleep some more. We’re up early this year to head back to Iowa for a couple days and trying to miss the traffic getting out of Chicago.
Just a few previews of upcoming posts. I’ve been slacking a bit on the info outside of my workouts so I’m going to make it up to you in the next few weeks.
Here’s a preview of what I’m going to be covering:
Tyler Bramlett’s CT-50 Workout
Tyler runs a site called GarageWarrior.com and was cool enough to get me a review copy of his CT-50 plan. If you’re looking to drop fat and want to stick with bodyweight workouts with minimal equipment, check this out. 50 workouts of increasing difficulty so you can spread them over 10 – 16 weeks and it includes some cool videos on how to do some of the moves. I’ve just started looking through it – tons of material – so I’ll have a full review coming soon.
Dan Long’s Suspension Revolution 2.0 Workout
For fans of TRX workouts, Dan Long has a great program I bought earlier this year. Again, like Tyler’s program it comes with a ton of info and some great videos so I’m still wading through it.
Lyle McDonald’s Rapid Fat Loss & A Guide to Flexible Dieting bundle
If you’re looking for uber-thorough fat loss plans for post-Thanksgiving/Christmas, Lyle McDonald is THE go-to source. I’ve used the Rapid Fat Loss plan the last few years to drop holiday weight and get ready for our spring Caribbean trip. It works – plain and simple. This time Lyle is bundling it with one of his other books, “A Guide to Flexible Dieting,” which is a less strict plan you can move to once you finish “Rapid Fat Loss.”
Josh Hillis and Dan John’s new book, “Fat Loss Happens on Monday”
This will be released tomorrow for Black Friday so I’m still waiting to get it but I’m really looking forward to checking it out.
Do You Need to Do Cardio? – Revisited
I’ve added some cardio back in lately so I’ll have more to say on why.
StrongFirst Kettlebell Class
Coming soon to Chicago on January 11. If you want to get into kettlebells, this one-day class is just the ticket for the perfect foundation on the movements. I took the class last January with Joe Sansalone and learned the basics of swings, presses, turkish getup. If you can’t make a StrongFirst class, check out the DVDs – Enter the Kettlebell and Mastering the Hardstyle Kettlebell Swing.
Well, something is happening in the kitchen so time to sign off and get down to the feasting.
