What would be the ultimate conditioning exercise that can be done anywhere, anytime? It be the Burpee. Its perfect for athletes, crossfitters, those who want to increase endurance, building a foundation for fat burning and metabolism building and so much more.
The Burpee originally came from a Physiologist in the 1930's when he discovered an exercise the military can master to build solid endurance and strength on the battlefield. Before you know it, it became a staple for athletic sports to help athletes get in insane shape for their sport. The exercise works so many muscles its uncanny. People have been either loving or hating burpees for decades but only in the last decade its widely known as the focal point of serious conditioning.
The regular Burpee originally was an exercise that only had you doing a squat thrust like movement where there was no push-up or squat jump added in. The Burpee as we know today includes a squat going into a plank, push-up, jump back into a squat and finish off with a squat jump. This one exercise alone can burn up to 50% more fat than leading high intensity exercises. The world record for most burpees completes is less than 2000 or 1800+ to be exact; that aught to tell you how how awesome this exercise is.
Can this exercise be done everyday? Yes it can however, it is important to mix in variations so you're not pushing the same muscles all the time and as exhausting as a regular burpee is, value its variety so you can get the most bang for your buck. I prefer Burpees as a protocol for HIIT where only 2-3 times a week go hard using intervals. I also prefer them as a Finisher more than anything because after your regular workout, you bust out a circuit of Burpees for a specific period of time. I mysel am learning and testing out the idea from Funk Roberts' 50 Shades Of Burpees Course where you use multiple variations of the burpee as a finisher for your workouts. These variations are insanely overwhelming at times and they are true ass kickers. This isn't for the weak at heart and you'd be a fool if you didn't get this course because very few legit courses will get you results fast and this is a top of the list caliber course or that very reason.
Turn your workouts into fat burning entities and muscle building at a high rate while getting strong and full of stamina at the same time. Get in on Burpees but be careful, learn the mechanics so you don't hurt yourself.

The Toughest Part Of Training Is Not What You Think It Is
When you're new to exercise, everything isn't in the right place yet; a program can be confusing and hard to do when it comes to exercise and following a specific protocol. The funny thing is, just starting out isn't the toughest part of training. It's not even the toughest part of ending a program in the last few days or weeks. The toughest part of training is not what starts or ends or what goes on in the middle.
When you have been on a specific program for a while or you're doing something new and interesting, its what continues on that is the hard part. The real tough area of training is the consistency. Now granted certain programs last only a few weeks, some last for months but its what you bring to the table long after your program has ended. Its the day to day trials of continuing training whether changing things up or modifying your own program that makes it the toughest. How many consecutive days can you exercise on? How many hours have you logged in? How intense is the training each day? These are the same questions I find asking myself from time to time and each day never gets easier. Just more interesting.
I have been consistent on exercising for a minimum of 1 minute a day for almost a dozen years. Think about that, having the will to go that many days for 1 minute or more. To accurately calculate it would be many, many hours of full on exercise I had to push myself through. I'm not saying this to brag or one-up anybody, I sometimes struggle to keep up with that every single day. When you develop something over a course of time, you begin to feel a sense of constant thinking and using every fiber of your being to do something on those days where you're not up to it. I have trained sick, injured, depressed, angry, emotionally drained and even exercised on the day of deaths in the family because its not about how I can keep up my days after, its because it is my second language. It literally comes natural to me and to this day it scares me that it does. Something that is second nature to you can be super frightening cause although its easy in one sense but in another you're constantly raising the bar and expecting much of yourself to push on no matter what.
The more days you exercise whether its a little or a lot, you learn as a person to understand how YOUR body works and what gives you challenges and what helps you on those days where High Intensity cannot happen. You build your personality, your way of thinking and learning exactly what drives. That's the toughest form of training of all-time; the ability to train regardless of a circumstance and developing a level of soul-searching on what gives you the greatest benefits no matter what day it is. You have a responsibility to find out how long you can go no matter what happens in your life and not just how long you can go but what happens in that time and how you feel each and every time. You don't need to be hardcore all the time to be CONSISTENT, do workouts on days where you feel a sense of challenging yourself and do workouts on days that aren't tough at all just so you did something and it made you happy. 12 years is nothing compared to what comes next in my line of training and neither should you ever compare what your training was the day before or the year before; every single workout has the opportunity to shine the brightest and each day brings a new wave of lighting up what gets you the most out of it.

HIIT: The Ultimate Training Regimen For Quick Workouts
People want results and they want them NOW!!! That's the main ideal mindset for a lot of people that believe that if they go all-out hardcore they'll immediately get results by the end of the workout or the next day and if they don't they'll call a program fake or say it doesn't work. Training for results takes time and strategy. They're lead to believe that hardcore, back breaking workouts will turn them into a god or goddess and have them drooling over the belief that if you do their "superior" system they'll be your friend but if you don't they treat you like garbage.
I get it, I don't like long workouts either, a lot of times their boring to me. That's why I personally feel that High Intensity Interval Training develops the best results in the shortest amount of time. The thing to realize is though in order to get the results, you need to put in the work; there's a reason the Intensity is in the title. You put in the highest level of effort in a short span of time that can range from 10-30 min. The other great thing is that for optimal results you only need to do them three times a week at maximum, 1-2 days minimum. This leaves you with more time to do other stuff that goes on in your life; kids, going to school, building a family, being around loved ones and so on.
Personally I believe themed workouts bring out the best in you because it creates imagination, develops creativity and YOU can make it fun. That's why I put in the Superhero Workouts. These workouts are extremely intense, no more than 25-30 min. and I get to challenge myself while having a good time. There are many ways to do HIIT; you can do them with or without equipment, they can be done as a finisher or they can be done with a single exercise such as The Burpee. One of the very best forms of this training is by doing Sprints; you run as hard as you can for 30 seconds or less either on a track, field or hill or no more than 60 seconds in place, don't need to do more than 6 to start with and do a maximum of ten. If you read the previous article on the Workout I had done which is very advanced that's another idea too. It is the system that creates the most fat burning, hits those Fast Twitch muscle fibers like nobody's business, develops insane loads of natural HGH so forget Steroid injections and you get to burn calories during and hours (sometimes days) after a workout.
I like bodyweight workouts the most when it comes to this kind of training because they can be done practically anywhere, anytime. It can be done with weights too but unless you travel or have a home gym or go to a gym it can get rather difficult. Some of my old sprint workouts lasted no more than 10 minutes since all I did was run up a hill really hard and walked back down and repeated 4-9 times. Want to see that fat melt like Margret Hamilton, have a body that looks like it was carved from granite, a metabolism that would scare the hell out of family at gatherings and what about the ability to generate levels of hormones that hit your sex drive harder than an 18 year old regardless of your age or sex? Hell of an idea huh? Do some research on it, test it out for yourself and as you get better, be able to eat the things you love and burn it off. The better you eat the higher the results but you can still build a decent level of natural muscle mass (no to be mistaken with heavy bloated bulky muscle) while on your current eating habits.

Big Time Superhero Workout That Will Test Your Limits
I love the ability to see how far I can push my body. Not to the brink of failure of course but enough to where it gives me an ideal of being able to endure crazy intensity while managing to recover as best as possible. Last night I did that very workout that targeted every muscle and had it at a level of intensity that was new to me and taking on a challenge that just sparked a massive fire within me. The Superhero Workouts have now reached a new level of intense training that targets fat burning, muscle building, a powerful metabolism and generates an insane load of HGH. This is a highly advanced workout that takes time to build up to and is extremely challenging but it's fun and it doesn't take long.
Along with this Superhero Workout I added in a finisher that really tested my strength & conditioning doing one exercise that is a combination of 3 exercises utilizing the basic components of Pulling, Squatting & Pressing.
If you're up for a challenge, be prepared to get your ass kicked....
5 60 Sec. Sprints (In Place)
4 Circuits Of the Following....
20 Mountain Climbers (10 Each Leg)
10 V-Ups
10 Hindu Squats
10 Jumping Jacks
This first part of the workout alone is grueling. Take as much time as needed to recover. The circuit may not be much but once you get into the later rounds it hits you like Zeus' Lightning Bolt.
The Finisher is a workout based on Lifeline Fitness' TNT Cable Workout.
15 Sec. On/15 Sec. Off of a Curl/Squat/Press Combo. I used 80 pounds of resistance so it was near advanced level of weight used. I did this protocol for a total of 6 min. averaging 2-3 Reps per round.
You can see the 10 min. Version Of the Finisher here>>>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rTjch566UTc
Have fun with this one and be on the look out. A big sale is coming at Lost Empire Herbs where you can save quite a bit on one of their most popular products. Details are soon to come in a couple days.

Better A Home Gym Than Going To One
Although mainly my style of training is Body-Weight, there comes a time to use Equipment every once in a while that is challenging, fun and full of possibilities. I have set up an area of equipment in our den where there's different types of Hammers, a Mace, Spikes to bend, Resistance Cables that can be used as any machine in the gym, a Sandbell and a (Sand) Kettlebell. You don't need a ton of equipment to get what you need out of it. They're merely options.
A home gym to me is a far better investment than going to a place down the road and have to follow certain rules in order to "enjoy" yourselves. The gym is great in some aspects; you get to meet people, listen to different types of music and have equipment at your disposal. However, many people aren't going to give you the space you need to train, you sometimes need to wait in order for someone to finish with a specific machine you want to work on, the music is presetted to specific music that the managers or owners wish to put on, a lot of the equipment is more machinery than old school barbells and dumbbells andfor the most part, you have to follow certain rules in order to keep everyone happy.
In a home gym, you set up where it's most appropriate for your place, pick your own music, the equipment is right there and you own it, make up your own rules and you get to do a workout within a few feet instead of having to burn gas and get stuck in traffic. I feel more at ease with my home gym because I get to tackle my own thoughts, my own motivation and I get inspired using my imagination. If there were any plans on going to a gym anywhere, I'd rather have it be old school where there's little to no machines, mainly free weights, kettlebells, pull-up bars, racks and mats to drop the weights on. Sure you only pay a certain amount a month at a gym but at the same time, you don't own anything there, you may get bickered at times for being at a station too long and you have to cater to other people's behaviors. A solid trainer doesn't spend much time talking to other people, is there because its important to him/her to work hard and make the very best out of what is useful for them.
I have no problem having a training partner from time to time but yet training alone and even better completely alone gives me an opportunity to be myself and train the way I want to, use the amount of time that is suited to me, use equipment that I love to use. If you're going to set up your own gym keep the equipment to a minimal such as....
Kettlebell (preferably a loadable)
Dumbbell (Preferably loadable)
Resistance Cables
Pull-Up Bar
Barbell
Olympic Style Barbell Plates
Sledgehammer
Mace
All these can be put into a small space of a corner. Sure the more equipment you get the more space you're going to need so it's important to choose wisely unless you have a good amount of space for a backyard than go for it. All my equipment is in a maybe 4x4 space so that's small yet some of these puppies are huge.
By the way; if you're looking for good solid Kettlebells, feast your eyes on Onnit's Iron Man 40 lb. Kettlebell. This bad boy was made to motivate training to a very high degree. It is craftily made to enhance your imagination and make your exercises look even more bad ass. Looking for better quality Olympic Barbell Plates than look no further than Captain America's Shield Barbell Plates. These will inspire you to train like the good ole Cap himself and lift weight like an Avenger. Superhero Training is my big thing and if it came to Equipment I would use the types that have a Theme such as DC or Marvel. I swear by the Universe if there was a way to have a Darth Vader Kettlebell or Beta Ray Bill's Stormbreaker Hammer I would want those in a heartbeat. I can be very nerdy but I like being strong at the same time so you can have the best of both worlds. Having a Thor Hammer and a bigger hammer closely resembling an inspiring John Henry Mystique to it is already a dream come true.
Having themed like equipment just brings out that extra fire to train intensely and with an insane purpose. Who needs steroids when you can have a kick ass looking Hammer or Kettlebell resembling your favorite Superheroes. What if it was possible to have a hammer for women crafted like Harley Quinn's? How about a Mace with the head shaped like the Hulk? There are so many cool things that can be found and the best place for custom free weights to me is at Strongergrip.com. You can't find many equipment of that caliber in a regular gym. Most people are afraid to touch a hammer or a heavy barbell. Having a Home Gym represents what you own and what makes you the happiest to train with and it belongs to you. Invest in a home gym, it works wonders.

Welcome To The New Year
It's 2017 and it's already off to a good start; no celebs are dead, Superhero Films are coming up and already have 3 weeks under my belt of Superhero Training. Mighty things are coming and hopefully this year will bring many new surprises, beautiful moments and kick ass stories that will live on for generations to come.
I already started my new year's resolution over 3 weeks ago getting back in my Superhero Training mode doing Sprints/Burpees, Circuits & Finishers marking a territory I haven't tackled in a long time. Deciding that during the winter, go into hibernation and build my Superhero Physique; in the spring start it off 2-3 times a week Hitting the tire with my trusted 30 lb. Thor Hammer then in the summer take on Big Bertha (60 lb. hammer) and do my damnedest to hit a goal of totaling 50 tons or more in a single workout (100,000 lbs.). Sounds impossible but you know, I believe I can do it.
Having a goal is always amazing and you do the best in your nature to reach that goal. If it comes up short, it'll suck for a moment but in the end, I'm taking on a task not many men will attempt and that alone gets me fired up. Imagine being able to lift and strike a hammer into the quadruple digits and totaling that weight at the end of a workout. Moving a hammer of this caliber takes strength and endurance that most would never believe can be done. I feel the need to do this not to boast or go on a rampage acting like a complete ass; it's to show that when you set your eyes on something and you keep moving forward with it, something is bound to happen.
People will get you down with the goals you set for yourself; many will criticize, call you nuts, tell you there's no way in hell you can do it. The only person stopping you from reaching your goals is the person you see in the mirror everyday. Words can be harmful from others but the real harm comes from not believing in yourself. Every new year someone sets a goal and bashes into everyone what they're going to do and set a huge expectation. Most people never exceed past a couple weeks with their goal because for one, they put too much pressure on themselves and two, they only saw a fraction of what they want to become and half-assed themselves into oblivion within a short period of time. This goal of mine is one of many this year, it is a feat I feel can be achieved, not just believe but actually feel. I've already got a total of over 70,000 pounds in a single workout done and I know that 100k is just within my grasp. Whatever goals you set, set them for yourself and don't let anyone get in the way of them because the more you go after your goals even in the face of negativity, the stronger you will become.

The only person stopping you from reaching your goals is the person you see in the mirror everyday. Words can be harmful from others but the real harm comes from not believing in yourself. Every new year someone sets a goal and bashes into everyone what they're going to do and set a huge expectation. Most people never exceed past a couple weeks with their goal because for one, they put too much pressure on themselves and two, they only saw a fraction of what they want to become and half-assed themselves into oblivion within a short period of time. This goal of mine is one of many this year, it is a feat I feel can be achieved, not just believe but actually feel. I've already got a total of over 70,000 pounds in a single workout done and I know that 100k is just within my grasp. Whatever goals you set, set them for yourself and don't let anyone get in the way of them because the more you go after your goals even in the face of negativity, the stronger you will become.
