Rev. Al Sharpton's Words of Wisdom

Hi All!

My client was reading the Wall Street Journal this morning, and showed me an article about Rev. Sharpton's workout routine. I thought I would share some of his words of wisdom with you from a 57 year old man who has weighed more than 300 lbs, and is now down to a healthy 176 lbs.

How committed is he?

"You live seven days a week, that means you should exercise seven days a week...My trainer got me on track, now I'm my own police."

Words of advice for goal setting?

"I tell people to practice visualization. See yourself as your best person physically and then chisel yourself into that person. You have to be your own sculptor."
Wall Street Journal. Health & Wellness, D3. 12/6/11

This is some great advice that everyone should keep in mind while working out. While you can read all the health magazines in the world, or stare at the workout your trainer gave you for your days off, it is ultimately up to you to take action and dedicate yourself to staying healthy and looking the way you want. You only have one body, and NOW is the time to do everything you can to stay healthy and happy!!!


Have a good day :)

NYC Marathon

Well we did it!!!!
Congrats to everyone that ran the 2011 NYC marathon!!!!

success

We need your help!!!

Hey,
I hope this finds you well.
I decided to sign up and run in the NYC marathon
for the Robin Hood Foundation (www.robinhood.org).
I cant believe it either.
This decision couldn't have come in a more meaningful time in my life. I am committed to diligently training and succeeding in this momentous event.
I chose the Robin Hood Foundation, rather the Robin Hood Foundation chose me a long time ago.
The foundation targets poverty for kids and families (http://www.robinhood.org/approach.aspx).
Growing up my mom and I never had any money, yet we always
got by on hard work and commitment. Those are true values that will take you far in life and that will get me to finish this marathon.. The Robin Hood Foundation helps children that don't have ANY hope. I am committed to running this race for them.
Please help me raise $5000 to make lives better.
Please donate by clicking on this link http://www.crowdrise.com/garyswarni

I greatly appreciate all your love any support. My goal is to run this thing in under 4 hours. WOW.
I am committed to this and will work my tail off to do it.

Thanks again for your donations http://www.crowdrise.com/garyswarni

Love,

Fat Burning!!!

Are you ready for some high intensity fat burning?! This workout follows a training method called Tabata Training Method. You will do each exercise as hard as you can for 20 sec, rest for 10, and repeat 8 times...it is approximately 4 minutes for each exercise. Once you have completed exercise #1, move on down the list.

You will need a Kettle Bell and Medicine Ball (or Dumbbell) for this workout.

If you push yourself as hard as you can, this should be one of the hardest workouts you have ever done. Good luck!

1.) KB Swing

2.) Plank Jax

3.) MB Russian Twist

4.) KB Plank Slides

5.) Roll Back Jumps

6.) Split Lunge DB Raise

Challenge yourself and stick to 20sec on/ 10 sec off. Even if you find yourself fading, slow down, but don't stop!

Good Luck :)

Crazy workout!!!!

For this workout, you will need a Kettle Bell and a Band. Once again there are 3 brackets of exercises, and you will do each individual exercise for 30 seconds, 2 sets each. Once you are done with the first bracket, move on to the next. Try to keep the rest time between each bracket under 1 minute, and be sure to drink lots of water.
