Putting The "Fun" In Functional Conditioning

Too many people these days don't have enough fun in their training.

"Man, I can't wait till this is over."

"Jesus Christ when does it end."

"I can't do this its too hard."

"Why in hell do I need to THIS!"

I bet you dollars to donuts you've heard some of these quotes more often then these.....

"Damn that was a great workout."

"I want to go again."

"That was it? Come on man, lets keep going."

"Dude, let me try that out."

Its all about attitude when you train. When you're down and don't feel like nothing is working, nothing will work. When you feel that its a great workout and need to back off a little thats a different story. That tells me you're enjoying yourself and you know your limits. Fun training is when you put fear and awkwardness aside and just go out there and be yourself. Its not easy but its simple enough to learn. Having fun is not goingf out there and making bad form or half-assing anything, its being proud of what your doing, you make an effort to work on your form and you smile while you doing it. Smiling goes a long way not just working out but morely outside of it as well. If you want a fun workout that not only gave you cardiovascular benefits but builds strength, speed and tougness Here is a brutal but great Tabata Workout....It involves Hindu Squats & Animal Exercise

Take Boring Out & Go Nuts

What can you do to make your lifting more fun? You can speed up a press, try to whistle while you squat, how about even doing frog jumps with a Kettlebell. If you want my opinion if you're a kettlebell fan then why try to Juggle a kettlebell. Seriously if you want to take your KB Conditioning to a whole new level then switch hands every second and try to even walk. Think of juggling a pair of balls but add in an extra 10, 20 or 30 pounds. I tried this a few times and I'll tell ya it is difficult but it is fun as hell. When you learn to literally throw weight around in all sorts of places you're producing more Human Growth Hormone, gaining more power and building unreal grip strength. What if I told you that one guy doesn't just Juggle Kettlebells but he actually shows you tricks and stunts to create one of the best workouts of your life and only need a few minutes a day.

Logan Christopher does just that and then more. Swing around the back, under the legs, flip up in the air and even maybe catch behind the back. For the most part he's got the goods. At first he may not look like much but he is one of the strongest men on the planet and plenty of people can vouch for that. His DVD Kettlebell Juggling has great stuff for beginners, intermediate and advanced athletes. For those that don't know if you order his DVD he would put his Balls on the line to guarantee you results or get the refund back. Nothing he can say can compare to his abilities on handling weight men bigger then him can't even pick up at first. Take a look on the right hand side of the blog and check out Kettlebell Juggling. Your life with a Kettlebell will never be the same again and thats a fact. This will not only make your training fun but after practicing it for a while you can even put on a show and do some tricks that will amaze your friends. KB Juggling is one of the coolest forms of training and its insane the way you'll be handle weight that makes lifting look pointless.

What Can A Former College Linebacker Teach You About Conditioning?

From High School to College to the European Football Circuit Vince Palko has been nothing but a great linebacker on the gridiron and is a hall of famer in his high school and at his alma marter at Bowling Green. He has not been on a losing team his entire career and has trained by some of the top coaches in the world and knows a thing or two about conditioning. Lets face it the most conditioned athletes on the football field are the linebackers. They are the meanest, toughest and most brutal animals on the field and for good reason. Take a look at guys like Lawrence Taylor, Dick Butkus, Ray Lewis and Jack Lambert. What do they all have in common? The Intensity that can make a Army Ranger blush (slight exaggeration). They have to be, they have to outrun the Running Back, tackle like a lineman and every now and then intercept like a cornerback. Add in the conditioning they need that would impress Olympic wrestlers and you got yourself a wildman of the gridiron.

After his football career was over he turned his sights on marketing and took a shot at fitness work and not the pink dumbbells and chrome and fern crap. No...He taught serious conditioning that took intensity and fat burning strength training. For all its worth he's got some of the best products on the planet that not only get you in shape for triathlons but also for football, wrestling and combat training. He gives you less time to train and thats the best type of training you can work with. Anerobic Conditioning is working with high intensity training and getting the heart rate up faster then rocket launch. Take into consideration that if you want to lose weight and burn fat the fastest way possible this is really one of the best guys to go to. Being trained by top coaches and researching on top methods that are less prone to injury and take your power to new heights in the best way possible. Doing some of this training a few min. a day can help you carry over to many other things in your life. This guy also doesn't just do Fitness but can help you take your website to the next level with Ad Toons and Animated Illustrations to draw your website to people that are in your interests.

Take a look at what he does, read his story and his will to make comebacks and the testamonials that prove his systems are not only works but its almost miracle work.
