There are all sorts of crummy supplements on the market you don’t need. Some of the stuff is flat out junk. Some of the stuff is good, but the actual product and brand is lousy.

And then, there are some products that are just flat out awesome for you.

Bottom line: The health benefits associated with a quality Krill Oil supplement are just too powerful to ignore. I don’t know if I can be any more blunt about it.

Besides the fact Krill Oil doesn’t cause “fish burps” like fish oil capsules do, its just one of the best sources of Essential Fatty Acids.

Krill Oil can also:

Help protect your heart

Improve your memory

Strengthen your immune system

Minimize the damage caused by free radicals

Reduce joint pain and PMS symptoms

Aid the fat loss process

I’m telling you, it really is one heck of a powerful supplement. And the only brand I recommend is the brand I trust completely – Prograde Nutrition.

Their EFA Icon http://victoriawellness.getprograde.com/icon is the best Krill Oil product on the market, as far as I’m concerned.

I spent over 15 years as a competitive bodybuilder. Within that sport, my training was very consistent in that there wasn’t a lot of variety. Yes, I was constantly tweaking my programs. Changing my rep scheme, my weights used and rotating exercises was all the norm. Nothing was static.

But, the one thing I have noticed since I no longer compete on the bodybuilding stage, is that I am using a lot more variety in my workout regime. I am sure a lot of it has come about since opening my private fitness studio.

One thing I have always preached about to clients is that bodybuilding is a “sport” not a form of training. It amazes me how often I still see programs being done that are typical of bodybuilding training – isolating muscle groups – chest day, leg day, back day etc. Also, are typical is the rep/set scheme. How common is it to see in any public gym the program set out as 3 sets of 10. Not very creative.

I very seldome train like a bodybuilder anymore. I don’t usually have isolated muscle group days any longer. I am usually incorporating a lot more total body movements into my programs now. Also, with owning a private gym I have access to much more variety. In our facility we have all the standard dumbbells and bars. But, we also have kettlebells, sleds, hanging ropes, trap bars.

So, now I have the opposite problem. So much variety and always a challenge as to what to train that day. Also, with owning and running the business, I don’t have the luxury of spending 90 minutes in the gym training. My workouts now need to be shorter, more intense and I need to stay one step ahead of our incredibly strong clients that train with us daily.

My workout today came about after reading the lastest Art of Strength newsletter. This is an great newsletter that is packed with videos of great exercise routines using kettlebells, bandit loops (ropes) and bars. Check out their newsletters at www.artofstrength.com

So, for todays workout I copied exactly what was in their newsletter last week. It consisted totally of a bandit loop (rope) workout. Each exercise was done for 30 seconds. Each circuit consisted of two exercises done without rest and for 3 times through.

Circuit #1 – Bandit Loop Mountain Climbers; Kettlebell Swings
Circuit #2 – Bandit Loop Extended Pushups; Kettlebell Presses
Circuit #3 – Bandit Loop Lunges with arms overhead; Turkish Get up with bar

This was a great little workout that took me 20 minutes to complete. If you looking to change up your routine a little, try this out. And, if are looking for more kettlebell exercises and workouts, check out Art of Strength.

I came in early to the gym as usual wanting to get some emails and computer work done before my morning workout. But, the computer gods were conspiring against me this morning. My wireless mouse has decided not to cooperate, so I am spending more time chasing it around the screen and attempting to get it to work. Batteries are the answser, but do I have any in my drawer? Of course not, so I will have to make do until later today. But at least it seems to be cooperating at the moment, which is good because I wanted to share my morning workout.

Today, I just wanted to mix it up a bit, so I made it up as I went. Well at least I made it up as I walked from my office to the gym floor. Here’s what I came up with. After a warm up I went through this little circuit 4 times (didn’t have a lot of time left after chasing computer mouse around). Here goes:

Walking Lunges down turf and back – 26 lunges in all
Flat DB Press – 45 lbs – 8 reps
Renegade Rows – 30 lbs – 6 reps
Single Leg Deadlift – 16K kettlebell – 8 reps

Got the job done and on with the day. What is your workout going to be today? Comment and let me know.

This Sunday is Mother’s Day, so I thought I’d share with you some really simple tips that do a great job of fighting fat. But before I even get to them I want to let you know that while moms have a real tough job, it’s not nearly as hard to burn off the belly fat.

In fact, just a few simple changes in lifestyle can make a dramatic difference in your belly, butt, hips and thighs. So be sure to put these tips to good use:

Mother’s Day Fat Fighting Tip #1 - Avoid soft drinks, juices and any other liquids loaded with sugar. All these drinks are very high in useless calories. A 12 oz. can of cola typically packs 150 calories worth of sugar! Drink a couple of those a day and you’re packing on the belly fat!

Mother’s Day Fat Figthing Tip #2 – Record what you eat and drink. Most moms – and people in general – are shocked at the amount of food and calories that they are REALLY consuming when they track it. And be honest, many times when people do this exercise they “forget” to write down the foods they nibble on here and there. It ALL adds up.

Mother’s Day Fat Fighting Tip #3 - Eat 5 to 10 servings of fruits and veggies each day. This will help you meet your micronutrient needs for the day. And that is critical to your body’s ability to burn fat off your belly, butt, hips and thighs.

Now, if you’re having trouble eating all your fruits and veggies I’ve got some good news for you. My good friends at Prograde Nutrition are having a Mother’s Day sale on their powerful Women’s VGF 25+. You can save 15% on this awesome product made from 25 veggies, greens and fruits.
