That time of year where you can't help but buy some crazy stuff for Xmas for your loved ones. Pushing everyone around the stores, cramming yourselves into tents waiting who know how long for a store to open at 4:30 am. It's not fair to you or your wallet. If you plan on black Friday being the day to find kick ass sales? Go where they matter. Some stores won't always have what you're looking for and it can be heartbreaking. Although it's easier to shop at a store because people are there to interact with but let's face it, you didn't go shopping on one of the roughest days of the year to socialize or to pop a new friend because they are getting the same things you are. Shopping Online isn't the greatest option but it's a better option than most. I want to share with you some really cool places where you can get bad ass deals that not only will you get a kick out of but your little ones too.
First will be at Amazon where you can find even the most rare things on sale and save a ton of money in the process, got prime, even better use it to your advantage this holiday season. I love Amazon where I can get my favorite superhero flicks, I've also been into Star Wars again because of the new movie coming that me and other people I know are dying to see. For her birthday I bought my girl some amazing Star Wars stuff she totally geeked over like a huge chest to put your things in, a poster book, a Yoda lightsaber flashlight, A character book chalk full of beautifully designed graphics. I get freaking jealous and I bought the damn things. I love using Amazon for Instant Movies on my PS3 and watch fun TV Shows and movies that appeal to me. Do your kids or anyone you know love Comic Books? I have a whole store just for people like them because I love the artwork, stories, little gags, the heartbreaks and the kick ass action of guys like Thor, Captain America, Moon Knight, Blade, Vampirella, Dr. Strange and a ton of others. There are limitless amounts of cool stuff you can get that might save your life from being crumbled in a store. I'm sorry but I believe a parent or relative should get murdered over a freaking doll or a t-shirt a child they love would like.
The next one I wanted to share with you is for my fitness nuts out there looking for good deals on fitness equipment that is ready, brand new and just waiting to be used to help you build muscle, lose weight, gain stamina and even chisel the hell out of your core. My friends over at Lifeline Fitness are having a staggering 40% OFF SALE on every product they have. I personally use this type of equipment myself for when I travel or want to grab out of my bag at home and have a gym that can be stuffed in a dufflebag. Using a the Coupon Code GIVEYOU40 at checkout you can get great stuff that can be used but practically anyone, can be used anywhere and gets you fit. For years I've used them to suit my needs that is affordable than weights, I like lifting but I do have to practical and there are advantages. Get the gift of health and make the effort to train like you would in a gym, listen to your own music, have fun and challenge yourself.
One more place I highly recommend is another fitness site for the serious mofos who want to use high quality equipment that can change the very foundation of not just yourself but for a gym as well. Really awesome package deals inspired by the Military, Fire Department & Overall Garage Warriors. These guys are top of the line and are far ahead of a very competitive pack. I'm talking about the Crossfit Site Rogue Fitness. What it would be like for you to afford your own equipment set up for your gym, home, garage or backyard. A rack to use for developing superhuman strength in powerlifting, set up gymnastics rings to get the most insane upper body workout of your life. Collars that clasp on like a damn vice for those PR attempting lifts. Top of the line equipment for the inspiring Strongman who wants to obliterate the competition with Yokes, Axels, Stones, Monster Bells fit for a beast, Harnesses to strap into for Truck Pulling; all your hearts desire for the ultimate athlete. You don't even need to be in crossfit in order to benefit from this bad ass place; maybe you're an MMA Fighter, Olympic Weightlifter, someone who loves Conditioning, Football Players, Pro Wrestlers, Baseball, Hockey hell even actors in the movies used this stuff to train for roles.
You do not have to wait in line to get what you want. Be safe, pick what you feel could benefit you or someone else. I cannot stress enough about helping you all have a safe and beautiful holidays that are less stressful and more of awesome love and happiness. Take a long hard look at what you think you might get a store near you where crowds would rather shiv you rather than help you find something that could bring cheer to another person. Most of the time it's every man for himself and I don't wish anyone to get hurt or feel because something wasn't there and it was all for nothing. Be safe and be awesome everyone. Make Black Friday a much lighter color because nothing brightens up like a great surprise in that stocking.

The Gorilla Is My Animality (And Being Thankful)
Thanksgiving is tomorrow so you maniacs better brush up on your training before having that huge feast. I know i'll be hungry as hell that day, hopefully the family i'm hanging with can make enough food for this beast. Other than that how the hell are you guys? Got a good mid-week going or do you have those mid-week blues? Sometimes it can be lonely for some of you and maybe you don't celebrate a holiday like this, i'm certainly not the biggest fan for a few reasons but I do my best to make it just another day but with insane amount of food.
The first thing I want to talk about is what are you thankful for? However the year has been for you what have been the positives? For me; i'm thankful for the people in my life especially my girl Holly. Only 7 months in and she has been a light that shines bright even in some dark moments plus has been the best thing to happen to me in a long time. There has never been a day where we don't laugh or are there for each other when we need it the most. I push her in training sometimes but she also pushes back even harder to have me step up my game and it has. I'm also thankful for my friends in the fitness world who encourage me and inspire me everyday to be creative and sharing their passion. These are the top 2 i'll mention but I've got more that I want to just hold onto myself.
The second thing I want to mention is; in the spirit of Animal Exercises I want ask all of you, what is your Animality? For those that don't understand it's a term that came from the Mortal Kombat video games I use to play as a kid and when you were the winner of a fight you could finish the helpless opponent by doing some really gruesome stuff but another option (if you knew the right codes and directions) was to tear the guy to pieces by turning into an animal that your character's spirit possessed like Liu Kang had the Dragon, Nightwolf was well a wolf or Sonya Blade being the Hawk. Every one of us has an animalistic spirit dwelling within. The easiest way to find that out (at least from my experience) to channel that is to do Animal exercises, practice as many as you can creating games, scenarios, competitions or learning the various moves and instinctively figure out which animals seems to be the most frequent and favorite that you do. The gorilla happens to be mine. I always train and seem to intuitively do this exercise more often than any other Animal. This isn't an invitation to figure out your animality and going out killing people or anything like that. It's unleashing that powerful spirit within you that helps shape your body, makes you stronger, powerful and full of insane conditioning.
It can be difficult finding out which animal suits you and the way you move but that's the beauty of Jungle Fitness is to find a new sense of yourself and unleashing that inner strength you may not realize is inside you. That internal force that brings out our instincts and gives us that glare most will never understand. The gorilla is mine because I love the strength it possesses, the sheer power of it's tendons, the musculature of it's chest, back, arms and neck. It is congruent with what I want to achieve and that's being as being big and athletic as possible. I'm the ground and pound kind of guy if I wrestled someone, I love to climb at times and walk as if I was King Kong. Your Animality might be different but you have to feel it and experience that passionate fire and how you move, the way your mind and awareness comes into play. We all have it yet only a small few have ever achieved it.
That's all for today you guys and I want to wish you and your family a very happy thanksgiving and for those that don't celebrate it, kick back and just be you. Before I go I have a surprise for you. One major company I represent will be having an insane Black Friday sale that will be 40% OFF and free shipping for orders over $100. Now that's awesome and I can't wait to share with you and it's one of the best fitness companies in the world today that has helped thousands of people all over the world and has been used by athletes in the NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, Soccer, Rugby and College Sports. You don't want to miss out.
Kick ass today and everyday,
Ben

An Animalistic Weekend
Hey there my Animal Comrads,
Did you guys have a kick ass weekend? I hope so. I stayed in most of the time since it's getting really damn cold outside. I'm a born and raised coastal Californian, the coldest I was ever use to until 4 years ago was no more than 38-45. It's getting as low as the 20's and i'm here most of the time in T-Shirts & Shorts (go ahead take your shots). It was more or less a quiet weekend in the house, played some PS3, promoted a little, got sent some bucks for selling a course or 2 a while back, watched the new series on Netflix Jessica Jones and finished up the first season of the Flash to catch up. All the while training like a wild animal and having a ton of laughs with my girl Holly whom you can read about here.
Over the weekend especially yesterday I was contemplating about what exact benefits you can get from actually doing Animal Exercise and consistently. On Twitter, I wrote 20 different and awesome benefits on what this method can do for adults and kids alike. I encourage you to click on the link and check them out. I have become more enthralled and excited than ever to do Animal movements. I do 15-30 min. a day everyday recently and it never gets me doing the same order twice. I average in those workouts (play time for me) around 25-60 rolls at a time. By rolls I mean doing the Dice Game where you roll once for an animal, a second time for numbered steps. Some animals are tougher than others but that's where you pace yourself, breathe after each set and check it off. I'm seeing incredible results right away; arms are getting more defined, my core is getting muscular, my chest is bigger, my legs are incredibly stronger and my explosiveness is powerful as well. Still got a ways to go to truly hit my animal peak but it's a hell of a ride.
What are you doing to get yourself in shape? What's preventing you from having fun while you exercise? Is it the weather, your job, family, the bills, stress? How do you expect to achieve your best self if you can't make the effort? Timing is a pain in the ass, it's understandable and it's about being realistic I sympathize with you. The thing is, you can get a great start if you're willing to put a little time even if 5 minutes is all you have for now. Did you know even 1 minute can make a huge difference in what you do. If you played the animal dice game like I talked about, do 5 rolls of animal movement just 5. Anyone can do 5 come on now that's nothing (but can be a lot) and it only takes a couple minutes. I know you may think that it's not enough to get results. In the beginning it does. I'm going to tell you something that most people are afraid to admit; when I first played this game I nearly passed out because I pushed myself too hard way too fast. I wanted to quit after that because it was too much and like most people I never thought i'd put myself in that position but I didn't quit. I screwed up and had nothing to do with the exercises or the game itself, it was my foolish pride and uncontrollable excitement to push the limits because that's what you're told right? I dusted myself off and went into thinking mode, creating a strategy to where I do only a small portion and build from there. I got better and it's become my favorite game to play.
Maybe the game is not meant for you and that's perfectly fine. If you're into animal movements maybe you want to only a few of them and do 1 minute each to start. Play around with them and come up with your own game. With the dice game it at times comes up with an animal I highly despise and gets me winded more than any other animal so unless it's low reps I don't do it. I choose a different animal for myself, something easier or one that I'm comfortable challenging myself on. I still get it done and keep going with the game that I want to play.
Over this weekend it made me think that when you do something consistently it becomes a habit; when you play with your exercise it becomes more than a habit; it becomes something fun and exciting to do. I never know what to expect everyday when I do animal movements. At times my muscles don't know what the hell is going on. After a while my muscles know what the exercise is after doing it so many times but things switch up in the blink of an eye where they still need to adapt. A lot can change with a single roll of the dice. What will you do when that movement comes up?
Hope you start the week with a bang and some movement of your favorite animals. Mark your territory by moving (not peeing) and have a blast with it. Get the kids involved, got some warm weather where you are, make a game outside. If it's too cold (like it is for me here) make enough room for you and/or your family and play a little game. There are ways to get in shape, you got the basics and now just a little imagination.
Welcome to a new week and tell me your stories of Thanksgiving and be sure to let me know what you're thankful for. Before I leave you I got some cool stuff to share with you. Having a big holiday dinner can knock you off your way of eating to stay in healthy shape. It's going to be tempting but I will give you a couple options. If you choose to eat, train first to really earn that meal so you can get the calories and sources of protein/carbs to fuel yourself and just eat. If you truly want to stick to your guns, I've got a few things I'd like to show you that can help suppress those big time cravings and make the best of eating well and enjoy your feast just as awesomely. Here are three things that will keep your hunger at bay:
Carb-Ease
Crave Check
& Meal Replacement Shake (White Chocolate Peppermint)
This stuff works like a charm and has helped literally thousands of people so they can still get great results while eating well.
