In this video you will see David performing a great core building, upper body strength producing exercise….and he does a great job at the technique of keeping his hips straight & shoulders over his hands.

This is an advanced exercise for working your core (trunk muscles), and will also create a high heart rate response (when you incorporate many muscles used in an exercise, there is great demand for oxygenated blood to all muscles…therefore creating a more aerobic response & burning more calories). This also can be considered an upper body pushing exercise, because of the load placed on…

In this short clip you will see Peter performing a challenging mini circuit (3 cones that are about 5 feet apart).  Peter performs 10 pushups at each cone, then uses a mobility/ dynamic warm up exercise (world’s greatest stretch) to get from cone to cone.

With non stop functional movement this type of circuit is great for; strength, muscular endurance, activating the Central Nervous System, aerobic conditioning, joint mobility, & post exercise fat burning….Wow! that’s a lot of great stuff!

Check out the video, and if you’re up to it, give it a try…but modify it for you.  How?…

In this short video you will see Peter performing a challenging, functional circuit.  The three exercises are; bent kettlebell rows, resistance band squat jumps, & a :30 sprint on the Versa Climber.

Take a look at Peter’s technique on the bent row, it’s very good- flat back, head neutral, elbow high.  The resistance band squat jumps are great for activating Type IIB muscle fibers, which are the first to atrophy, or suffer from fibrosis (they become non contractile).  The Versa Climber is a great aerobic/ anaerobic interval tool.  It’s challenging because it’s vertical, it uses all four limbs, and…

In this short clip you will see Dr. Tom Bilella, of Nutrition Treatment Center (www.nutritiontreatmentcenter.com), performing TEST Sports Club’s (Tinton Falls, N.J.) 1 minute rower challenge.
The goal is to cover as much distance as possible in one minute.
So it’s an anaerobic power event.

Take a look a Tom’s technique. You want to think of this move as a powerful lower body push, where the abdominals brace & transfer force to the upper body. Then the upper body pulls to complete the stroke.
This may not seem bad, after all it’s only 1 minute.

The goals of this video are; show people that they do have time for exercise (the work in this clip is 8 1/2 minutes long), to let my clients see me work hard (suffer really), and to teach that strength circuits are very time efficient for fat loss/ strength building/ and aerobic-anaerobic conditioning.
People don’t have as much time for anything anymore.
But their health is regressing while they remain sedentary.

I also wanted people to know that they can work AROUND injury issues, not THROUGH them.
I have shoulder problems, and plantar fasciitis in both…

In this clip you will see Champion Powerlifter & TEST Sports Club (Tinton Falls) Sports Performance Director, Joe McAuliffe, take on the club record in our Indoor Prowler Bench Challenge (40 yards, 160 lbs.).

The Prowler Bench is a great training tool.
It will give you great results, in less time, with relatively safe bio mechanics.
Start with power walking, progress to jogging & then sprinting (over weeks of time).
Then you can add weight.

Watch Joe give his all to try to top the previous record of :11.8 seconds.

live right, Keith

In this short clip, you will see Peter performing a superset of a Get Up with a 35 lb. sand bag & a resistance band deadlift.
The Get up is a full body exercise, and the deadlift works a great deal of muscle as well (traps, forearms, core, glutes, quads, hamstrings).

The Get Up is usually performed with a dumbbell or kettlebell extended with one arm towards the ceiling.
But for people with shoulder issues, like me, this alternative style works.
The band deadlift is a form of accomodating resistance.
That means the band becomes…

In this short clip, Mike performed these 3 very challenging (the Indoor Prowler weighed over 200 lbs.) reps, per set, pulling & pushing the bench with a rope attached to it.
I didn’t shoot the cable chops, just the Prowler work.

The goal was to complete the 3 reps in less than :40.
Mike finished in :32!

I had Mike do three functional exercises.
What that means to me, is exercises that use a lot of muscle integrated together, to accomplish the goal, that also help prepare you for everyday life tasks.
The first part,…

@ TEST Sports Club in Tinton Falls, we put together some different & interesting fitness challenges.
In this clip you will see Chris perform a 5 minute challenge of; 10 pushups (modified), 10 step ups (modified height for Chris since he’s had knee replacement surgery a about 3 yrs ago), and 10 Smith machine Modified Pullups.

The goal is to finish as many rounds of the 3 exercises, as possible, in 5 minutes running time.
This uses just your body weight to engage all muscles functionally, and at the same time create quite a heart rate response.

In this short clip you will see Ray perform an effective, time efficient strength circuit with bodyweight & 1 barbell.
These circuits stimulate a lot of muscle to work, which induces greater heart rate response & central nervous system stimulation.
That leads to; greater strength/fat burning/muscle building & aerobic/anaerobic conditioning.

You will see- Pushups (upper body push w/great stability), RDL’s (hamstring work w/core stability), Bent Rows (upper body pull w/lower & core stability), Hang Cleans (a power move that keeps your Type II muscle fibers vital-important as we age), Push Presses (full body, from legs thru shoulders),…
