Happy September. Day 1 Workout
Glorious September!
It’s the start of a new month.
A new hurricane swirling its way up the coast.
New episodes of your favorite network show.
A new series of training at the fitness studio.
Another opportunity to rid of the kids for a good 8 hours a day.
Glorious September 🙂
And to boot, it’s like 80-something degrees outside! Great beach weather. Especially here in Marshfield!
And while it’s still beach weather, you should still be leaning towards a beach body.
So, Just take those old records off the shelf, sit and listen to ’em by ya’self, and handle 20 up-downs, mix in 25 pike push-ups, toss in 15 jump squats and hold your abs in for another minute while you plank it out.
Rest 30 seconds, rinse, lather and repeat.
Here’s an up-down:

Anti-Lovely Lady Lump tips for the Fella’s
Today we’re going to cover a few bullet points of falling off the wagon. Chuck pony style; the kind that leaves you all warm and fuzzy inside, like a Meg Ryan movie (completely normal to cry to Joe And The Volcano).
Warm Thoughts Only
So here’s the scenario:
You’ve decided to finally commit yourself to eating better and working out.
You’ve been hitting training sessions pretty good, well, as best you can while still leaving optional room for thirsty Thursdays, liquid lunch Fridays and sweetness sweet Saturdays. Not to forget, blow my f*#*ing brains out Monday 🙂
None the less, you’re Hero-ing 3 days a week! With all due respect I’d say you’re one Celine Dion hit away from complete self-annihilation, however, here are some tips to cool your passive aggressive anger and abandonment fantasies. Take it away Johnny!
- When you want to eat something really-really-really bad, brush your teeth. If that doesn’t work, lift your shirt and gaze at your love lumps in the mirror. If that doesn’t do it, review your life insurance policy and see what it says about obesity and if there’s a Twix or Twinkie clause. Or in most cases, I’d suggest eating a clementine or orange first. Usually the sweetness of the citrus will curb some sugar cravings and lay those lovely lady lumps to rest.
- When you’re having a tantrum on training, remember if you do, you’ll be better than your closest friends at every sport in about 5 years. If that doesn’t help, remember being the HOTT DAD at the playground, BBQ’s, reunions, High School athletic events and the infatuation of all the other moms and wives is ridiculously rewarding.
- Put on a t-shirt from high school, or your favorite jeans or dress shirt that your girlfriend from three girlfriends past gifted you. Does it fit? If not, go on Facebook and find her latest profile pic. Does she look hot? Is her new boyfriend a good looking guy, maybe a little James Dean-esque-bad-boy? If so, I swear you’ll be at the gym and swallowing copious amounts of BCAA’s and protein powder in nanoseconds!
- Call your most successful friend and ask him to meet you at the gym. Usually, seeing someone kick some ass, leads to you kicking more ass! Just don’t slap asses in the gym. Cue the 1980’s-training-room-montage-scene!
- Call your ex-girlfriend, any should suffice, and ask her what went wrong. This list should provide ample weeks of hate and fantastic motivation.
- Go back in your head to a time you got your grill knocked in by the schoolyard bully. Imagine how good it would feel to approach him as an adult after a few months of hitting it hard and knocking his ass out! If he just so happens to be a UFC fighter then maybe you can revert to a memory when the lunch-lady shafted you a full serving of garlic rice ball or shitty corner piece of pizza with two sides of crust…. some people are just evil.
- Watch The Fighter or Rocky. Hell watch Designing Women if Anthony or Mary Jo inspire you. But watch something for fuel!
ADRENALINE SURGE!
- When all else fails pamper yourself bro. Cucumber eyes and facials. LIFE CHANGING!

Rock Star Workout
Granted, many limelight whores drench their systems with tangible excesses and illegal substances, however, not many people understand the escape a starlit world delivers. And very few people, unless closely associated with the camp, understand the work ethic, tenacity, drive, devotion and focus these individuals possess.
I am very lucky at Belley Fitness, in that I’ve had the opportunity to work with rock stars, albeit successful ones.
These are images of the past of workouts conquered and handled for 90 minutes or longer, nonstop.
Full scale assault on the body.
Many people would complain or even whence at the idea of this training.
Many people believe 30-45 minutes of activity 3-5 days per week is enough to look great and improve at a good pace.
Unfortunately, this is not the case.
Most of us in the know, train upwards of hours a day. I myself require roughly 9 hours a week to stay consistent or to maintain. Sucks but someone has to do it 😉 May as well be me.
These individuals also get it. They delve into workouts sometimes 2 hours in length. Not to mention yoga poses or light pre/rehab work first thing in the morning.
So the next time you see a Rockstar in amazing shape, remember, most often they’re not genetics, their body isn’t easy to attain because they’re celebrities and have access to trainers and personal chefs.
They have great bodies and are celebrity Rockstars because they simply try and little harder and have extreme focus.
Live the dream and create your own reality!

Must-Have! Shake Weight not required ;)
So you want strong forearms?
But you don’t want to look silly holding a shake weight.
Because quite frankly, it actually looks like you’re __________ something ___ while really _____ into it and honestly then the whole world knows how you look on ________ night while watching the latest coveted CINEMAX releases.
Plus, once everyone finds out, they all want you to ride middle on ski trips.
Not flattering.
So here’s your ANTI-SHAKE WEIGHT THURSDAY exercise!!!
Requirements:
A Horse
A pair of gloves
Just kidding 😉
It’s called a Burpee with Push and Pull-Up or Up Downs or Body Counters or anything clever the yoga community hasn’t thought of yet containing an animal and one adverb in the title.
Real Requirements:
You
Stationary bar fixed/mounted overhead
SIMPLE AS IT GETS!
Simply drop to the floor, into push-up position. Perform one push-up. Jump back to standing position while simultaneously leaping upward, grabbing the bar overhead, and pulling-yourself up. Drop, rinse, repeat.
Too easy.
Here’s a video link demonstrating for you.
[kml_flashembed movie="http://www.youtube.com/v/cdS1CPtI3N0" width="425" height="344" allowfullscreen="true" fvars="fs=1" /]
One of our stud athletes, Adam O’Reilly. He’s ballistic.
And if you want to get tricky, you can either add a weight vest for more resistance, OR, simply add in a muscle-up, as demonstrated by me here.
Stay real, and stay off the shake weight.
Because it makes you look _____ and didn’t your mother tell you never to represent yourself as such in public 😉
Live the dream!

New England Obstacle Mayhem! How Fit Are You?
This may come as a surprise, but you may not be as fit as you think you are.
Sure you can slug 12 ouncers, developing an aluminum 6-pack with the best of them, but them abs are worth no more than the 30 cents you’ll get for recycling.
Now, do you need a 6-pack?
Well it certainly helps put the groceries away. And you won’t look helpless exiting the grocer’s mart with paper bag tucked in arm. Spilling that celery and milk all over your new shell-tops!
But you and I both know you’re better than that!
And this is how, because you have self-respect 🙂
Maybe you’ve cursed a Yankee or two. But what southern gentleman hasn’t either?
Precisely! Just because you wear red sox doesn’t mean you’re awkward, it reveals class 😉
And here’s another way to enhance that character trait, with some smart obstacle options coming up I New England this summer!
Here’s your list of places to take your ocean of testosterone out on mother nature and some plastic, wire and wood! Here’s your official “I’m a Golden God” itinerary.
