Warrior Fit Boot Camp Fitness Fun!

Haven’t heard of it yet?
Don’t worry, you will.
Invictus is a new movie that is coming out soon that stars Matt Damon and Morgan Freeman.
So why does it get it’s own workout? Well Matt Damon plays Francois Pienaar, the Captain of South Africa’s Rugby team in the early to mid 1990’s. And, at minute 0:57 of the trailer for Invictus, you see Matt with his shirt off for about 1.5 seconds.
Sounds silly but this is the equation:
Male Hollywood Celebrity Appears “Jacked” in a movie = On-line Hysteria over “How he did it”.
Think the Christian Bale Batman Workout, the Gerard Butler 300 Workout, or the Hugh Jackman Wolverine workout.
It works every time, without fail. Hollywood Celeb gets jacked, someone tries to cash in.
So I’m going to Preempt everyone with this one:
I know EXACTLY how Matt Damon got in shape for this movie…It’s the exact same way Hugh Jackman got in shape, which […]

Eric Wong's Ultimate MMA Strength Workout Introduces Creativity To MMA

Back in August we bought a copy of Eric Wong’s Ultimate MMA Strength & Conditioning program and gave two of our instructors a copy. (Yes, we did copy it, but just once)
It may seem weird that the top MMA gym in the outer banks would buy an online training manual, but the fact is that a lot of students work out on their own, either because of scheduling issues or because they work better following their own program.
For those students, KnuckleUp wanted to have a solid w0rkout plan that they could follow and get better results than trying to figure it all out on their own.
So, we asked some of our instructors to look over the course and try it out. The very first thing they pointed out was the importance given to mental training and psychological preparation. As noted on […]

No, we're not going to pull the Polar Bear on you.

DONT STOPPPPP!!!!!!!
Our students have done SO well this summer, we’ve had such great results with the beach bootcamp, Charles Craddock got 1st place in a VA beach jiu jitsu tournament, and we’ve seen people shredding weight in all of classes.
To keep the momentum going, we’ve boosted our Winter class schedule – click the link to check it out.
We’ve added more classes, and Sal is taking over the Friday classes.
But the biggest change is in the Martial Arts program is the new Jiu Jitsu program.
As we’ve mentioned on that post, the Jiu Jitsu curriculum now obeys the official USA Jiu Jitsu program. A couple of modifications are still in the works: we will expand the mat area to the upstairs weight room soon, and Jeremiah is going to teach only the Advanced class.
For now, Chris Stolzman is taking over the BJJ […]

There are menacing spirits about tonight. Truly horrifying, ghastly ghouls in shiny, enticing packages. Resting ominously in bowls, baskets and bags, they await their jolly little prey. With the power of the Pied Piper, they will lead all manner of small witches, scarecrows, Spidermen, vampires, princesses, cowboys and gypsies toward ebullient, screeching glee, then sugar shock and moody mayhem this evening. Dastardly little devils, aren’t they…?

Chocolates, lollipops, Tootsie Rolls, M&Ms,
Pixy Stix, Bubble Gum, candy corn and Pez!
Jaw breakers, Milk Duds, Jolly Ranchers, caramels,
Star Burst, licorice, Kit Kat, and gummi bears!
Mounds, Nut Rolls, Laffy Taffy, Life Savers,
Reese’s, Skittles, Milky Way and Now or Laters!

No posts for the next few days as I attempt to make the shift from healthhabits.wordpress.com to healthhabits.ca.
I transferred over the archives today (with some technical support from a friend) and there were a few errors and lost images/videos, etc…
Hopefully, I can choose a theme and load in new widgets by Monday
Wish me luck

(This is the fourth part of a four part series on fitness. Part 1: What Does it Mean to Be Fit?, Part 2: Could You Save Your Own Life?, Part 3: Modern Fitness Standards)
Yesterday, we explored the multitude of modern fitness standards spanning a variety of professions – soldier, cop, firefighter, Olympic athlete, pro athlete. We discussed the amorphous, free form standards held by pure fitness methodologies like CrossFit, as well as the simple but starkly delineated physical benchmarks a “real man” must satisfy as laid out by Earle Liederman. And though I didn’t even get into all the other fitness markers of the various athletic subcultures (ultrarunners, mountain bikers, soccer players, body builders, kayakers, backpackers, etc.), I’ve concluded that modern fitness is, by and large, incredibly splintered and heavily specialized. If you were to take a cross-section of examples of ideal athletes from every sport or activity imaginable, you’d […]

Your basal metabolic rate is the number of calories your body burns, not including calories burned from daily activity. I realize that calorie counting and knowing your BMR may seem like an "old school" approach to dropping body fat, but an understanding of these numbers will help if you are stuck. I want to discuss your BMR and why many people simply eat too many calories per day when trying to lose weight. We will also discuss the fact that people overestimate the effect that adding muscle has on increasing the BMR.

[I wasn't planning on throwing in another Halloween photo, but this picture was too good to pass up.]
