I’ve been really good, now it’s time to kill it and let loose!” At least that’s how it’s been for me for the longest time.

This program is specifically designed for the bride-to-be who’s looking to maximize her sexy for the day she says “I Do!” Not only will this program whittle your middle fast but it will also build a head-turning pair of toned arms and an awe-inspiring set of sculpted shoulders, the perfect physical accessories for your strapless or sleeveless dream wedding dress.

You will perform 3 total body workouts per week alternating between Workout A and Workout B and taking at least 1 day of rest between workouts (e.g. perform on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday). The beauty behind these whole body workouts is that they use total body exercises that work your arms, legs, and abs at the same time. The result? Maximum fat loss and lean muscle growth so that you both lose inches in AND add definition to all of the right places. Plus I even threw in a bonus cardio interval training workout using that body weight cardio exercises that you can perform at home that is scientifically proven to burn 9x more fat than long, slow, boring cardio. Time to crank it for the big day! Read the rest of this entry »

Two weekends ago, I had the distinct honor of attending the first annual International Youth Conditioning Association (IYCA) Summit in Louisville, Kentucky.

The best part… my buddy Dave “The Band Man” Schmitz and I held some early am workouts for those who had the guts to attend.

This whole week, I’ll be providing you with video installments featuring some highlights of these killer morning workouts.
