Warrior Fit Boot Camp Fitness Fun!

A user asked me today about recommended warmup and cooldown. Here is the answer!
Warmup:
3 rounds of:
10 pullups
10 squats
10 pushups
10 back extensions
10 situps
I also usually add some leg raises and occasionally lunges to the
warmup. And, of course, if the warmup is too tiring, scale it down to
sets of 5 or 3 reps as necessary. The idea is to go through lots of
basic movements using just your body weight.
For cool down, I would recommend some dive bommber pushups,
stretching, and any sort of yoga type moves you may enjoy.

Ab Circle Pro sells for $199, Body by Jake Ab Scissor Ultra sells for $159, and the basic "old school" Ab Wheel sells for $10. The ironic thing is that cheap little ab wheels are more effective than either of these over priced, yet wildly popular, ab machines. The crazy thing is according to the merchant, over 700,000 Body By Jake Ab Scissors have been sold to date. Who knows how many Ab Circle Pro units have been sold, but it has to be a ton judging by all the recent infomercials on TV late at night or early in the morning.

[Getting flat abs or a a six pack is mainly about diet. The Ab Circle Pro advertises that you do "Cardio & Abs at the Same Time". Technically they aren't lying, except that the type of cardio performed will do very little if anything to make a difference.]

Most days, I love living in Toronto.
It’s a great city. All the culture you could want and you can still walk down the street at night.
But, yesterday, as I was reading my morning newspapers over a cup of coffee, I came upon this story….

…and it pissed me off.
Why in the world would a city bylaw officer harass senior citizens for exercising in a public park?
Why harass anyone for exercising in a public park?
As a nation, Canada is getting fatter year after year.
Our provincial health care systems are being bankrupted by chronic diseases brought on by the same lifestyle choices that cause obesity.
So, why would the city discourage physical activity by ticketing citizens to exercise in public parks that they already support with their tax dollars?
Especially when you consider that way back in 2005, Toronto city council created Get Your Move On…

The basis of Tabata Training is 4 minutes of intense interval training/circuit training. What you are doing is taking an exercise we’ll use sprints as an example here. Sprint as hard as you can for 20 seconds Walk for 10 seconds Repeat 7 more times for a total of 8 sets. So what you have is a total of 4 minutes workout time. Tabata Training can be done with a number of different exercises the idea is to use an exercise that gets the whole body involved or at least the major muscle groups.Tabata Training can be done with Barbells, Dumbells, Kettlebells or just Bodyweight exercises. I’ll give you some other exercises and routines to try in a minute but first let me give you some background and how Tabatas work. Tabata Training was developed by Izumi Tabata (imagine that) at the National Institute of Fitness and Sports in Tokyo, […]

The Relevance Of Forms In Kung Fu Training
For centuries and as far as we know forms have always been an integral part of Kung Fu training. They have been passed down through countless generations, and even though the original set of movements would inevitably have changed, much of which makes up the core of the system would still be there.
Some people have suggested that forms were designed originally for the purpose of passing down fighting techniques secretly, negating the need to document them and thus risk having them being exposed or stolen. While others suggest their designed and sole purpose was to provide a pre-determined set of training aids to improve such attributes as balance, coordination and timing, just as we might see a Western boxer using his shadow boxing.
There is probably some truth to both, and this would explain why some forms flow naturally into successive techniques whilst some […]

The big fad nowadays among the news organizations and “health gurus” of the world is to proclaim that while exercise might improve your quality of life, only nutrition improves the length. Even I was bombarded enough with this claim that I started to believe it…until I found this study done in my hometown of Jerusalem.
Here’s a quote from the study:
“The three-year survival rate was about three times higher for active 85-year-olds compared with those who were inactive. Getting less than four hours of exercise weekly was considered inactive; more than that was active.”
“The results “clearly support the continued encouragement of physical activity, even among the oldest old. Indeed, it seems that it is never too late to start,” the researchers wrote in Monday’s Archives of Internal Medicine, which published the study.”
My comments: All I want to say is…wow. The study means that they if 20 people died of those […]

Korean short ribs have an irresistible combination of sweet, salty and spicy flavors. Traditionally, the sweetness comes from sugar or corn syrup, usually half a cup or more. Thanks to Christian Chun, who submitted a fruit-based marinade for Korean-style short ribs to the Primal Blueprint Cookbook Contest, you can lose the processed sugar without losing a bit of flavor.
Fruit provides all the sweetness the ribs need. Christian’s recipe combines apple, Asian pear and kiwi. For a slightly different but equally delicious marinade, try using antioxidant-rich blackberries instead.

The sweetness of the fruit, contrasted with tamari, garlic and rice vinegar, hits all the right notes. The result is intensely flavored and truly addictive ribs. Wrapped in a cooling leaf of romaine lettuce and served with a feisty scallion salad, Primal Korean Short Ribs will add new dimensions of flavor to your table.
Ingredients:

2 pounds beef short ribs. For Korean short ribs, “flanken-style” is […]
