Lose weight INSTANTLY!

How can you make fat disappear in mere days?

As fall is now upon us there is a lot of changes. Some of these changes are great and, others not so much, and some go undetected.

I ask you to consider this...

Drink more water during this time of change. It is easy to do during the warmer months because it cools us down and replenishes water lost from sweat. This season we tend to start wearing more clothes and slowly reduce activity. We will start to eat hotter meals, drink and consume more as well.

For October my challenge to you is drink a full glass of water every time you're hungry. I bet you close to 25% of the time you're just thirsty and will satisfy that craving. After drinking if you're still hungry than eat. You WILL eat less due to drinking water, it's proven!

Remember drinking water is good and often overlooked as part of your diet.

Lululemon Shoot Setp 2012

	September 23, 2012
Hello Brooklyn, you animal! Scott Katzenstein will ignite the animal deep inside of you! He utilizes this animal flow move to bridge the worlds of yoga and strength training. You can find this move and many other challenging maneuvers in his classes at Equinox. Whether you train with Scott privately or in a group, he will bring out that inner animal in us all! Scott is wearing Light As Air Short Sleeve shirt in Heathered Deep Shore and the 7" Surge Short with a built in brief liner, perfect for the gym, running and cross training. I just finished a shoot with Lululemon a few days ago at an old tobacco factory in DUMBO.  This was for a product notification which lets people know what new products are coming through their company and is also sent as an email to their subscribers.  We decided to take a pose from Animal Flow that is such an amazing way to work your body.  I use some moves throughout my core conditioning classes to get people to use and understand their bodies better.   After finishing this shoot I realized more than ever that if you want something you must go after it.  You may not get it the first, second or tenth time, but do not give up.  Failure is giving up before it's time to do so.  Use your references and resources and you will make it happen!

CMC

Q - What is the CMC?

A - Civilian Military Combine is an adventure race that takes components of Tough Mudder combined with CrossFit strength challenges.

The race starts off with the PIT instead of a traditional starting lining.

Pit - 4 exercises for reps accumulated within 90 of work and 30 seconds of rest. You move from one station to the next until all 4 components are finished.

•Burpees - Chest to Floor
•Kettlebell Swings - To lock out
Men 20 kg Women 12kg
•Thrusters - To lock out
Men 75lbs Women 45lbs
•Box Jumps - 24" Box

Most scores will range between 100-200.

After all this you have a quick 2 minutes to grab food and drink to recharge for the 5 mile obstacle run.

You get scored on a bell curve to tabulate your final score.

I got 151 reps in the PIT, (though I counted 168) and ran the course in 52:27. My time placed me 77th, but my PIT score wasn't as great so overall I placed 114/1500.

I'll take that for my first CMC and will definitely train harder for the next one!

Move Your Body (Weight)

There's no quite like moving your body around like a kid. I recently got back into climbing rope. After taking a crossfit class which we had to do rope climbs I was left craving more. Luckily for me the gym I train at has ropes and everything necessary to climb.

Nothing compares to doing something to failure and knowing if you fail that you better be ready to land.

Here's a simple workout I had my client do this morning.

1 Rope Climb to Touch
1 Burpee
1 KB Squat (60lbs)

We add one rep every round until we finished at 10/10/10 30mins later!

Bored with your workouts?

Switch it up!

Your body physically and mentally needs a change once in a while. Here's a few reasons why change is GOOD for you.

1. You'll stimulate your mind which increases association of movement AND will burn more calories (according to a Harvard study comparing mentally associated vs disassociated movement 2012).
2. Your bones, joints, and muscles could use a break from repetitive movement. Always performing the same specific movement patterns can lead to imbalance in the body.
3. You may find something that you really love and are passionate about that you never knew. Jumping rope and TRX are my new favorite workouts, but only picked them up a few years ago when I saw others playing with them.

Try something new the next time you decide to sweat. I guarentee you will not regret it!
