The Hardest New Orleans Boot Camp Exercise

It’s called the Burpee..Actually it’s a pretty simple yet advanced exercise that reeks fat loss
all over it!

It’s basically a Hybrid exercise containing a …
-Squat
-Push up
-Leap

1. Start off with your hands touching the ground in a squatted position.

2. Shoot your legs straight back and land on the balls of of your feet right into the top position of a push up.

3. Do a optional push up then shoot your legs back together towards your hands, landing back in the bottom Squat position.

4. From the bottom Squat position leap up and reach up for the sky then land back down into the starting position which is the
bottom position of the squat.

Reasons to do Burpees

Burpees can be considered the Holy grail of full body weight exercises. They are widely used in the Military, Football teams, and
popular exercise programs such as  exercise Boot Camps because of it’s high ability of challenging  your Cardio and Strength levels.

1. Fat Loss: Because Burpees require so much energy when doing them because you are required to use your whole body, they are fantastic at
increasing your metabolism which will increase the amount of calories your burn throughout the day. If you are pressed for time in the morning
and are looking to get rid of that muffin top or spare tire..doing a few sets of burpees could be what you need.

2. Strength: When Performing a Burpee correctly, you are using almost every muscle in your body. When done correctly
you will be combining some of the most challenging exercises that involve major muscle groups and area such as legs, abs, arms, chest and core.

3. Conditioning: Even though conditioning has no visual advantages to it. …having the ability to do a several sets of burpee’s
will definitely mean you will be able to run, jog, walk, ride a bike, play a sport or hobby better and longer.

4. Convenience: Burpees can be done anywhere. You don’t need any fancy equipment or expensive health club membership.
You can do them in your room, office or even your hotel room. The hardest part will be getting the motivation to actually get your butt
up and actually start doing them.

Check out this video of Mike Rowe doing a Burpee workout!

The Burpee workout Mike Rowe did is called the descending latter.

1.Start with a set of 10 burpees.
2.Rest one minute
3.Then do a set of 9
4. Rest one minute
5. Set of 8
6. Rest one minute

…… Continue lowering your reps by one on each set until you reach just one rep.

By the Time you get to 1 Burpee, you should be gasping for air and your legs should be feeling like Jello!

Things to note:
-Make sure you take your time with doing burpees, it’s important to get correct form..it’s easy to get real sloppy quick
-Don’t do Burpees on a full stomach unless you plan on not wanting to keep that food in you.
-Don’t worry if you can’t complete the whole workout, you can always stop and try again later.
-As always have fun…once you get this down, challenge your friends or husband to see who can finish the workout first.

Exercise at ANY age in New Orleans

So you’ve slacked off a bit and avoided exercise in New Orleans.

Maybe your job demands too much of your time or you simply fell out of the routine because of the Saints going to the Super Bowl and upcoming Mardi Grass events. I have news for you. Whether you’ve taken off one year, ten years or haven’t exercised a day in your life - it’s never too late to start.

You see there are problems with living a life devoid of exercise. Big problems.
Your weight rises along with your blood pressure and cholesterol. Your muscles and joints degenerate at an astounding rate leaving you with daily aches and pains. Your body becomes weak, making you susceptible to all kinds of medical issues.

Why Should I Start Now? You’ve heard about the benefits that consistent exercise bring, but what if you haven’t been consistent? Should you even start at all? This has been the subject of many medical studies and the results are unanimous:

Exercise in New Orleans helps improve your quality of life even if you start late.

Researchers are constantly finding new benefits to consistent exercise. It’s no wonder that Dr. Robert Butler, of the National Institute on Aging, once said “If exercise could be put into a pill, it would be the single most prescribed medicine in the world.”

Imagine if a pill could offer all of these benefits (without harmful side effects):

• Substantially reduces the risk of coronary heart disease and osteoporosis
• Decreases the risk for stroke, colon cancer, diabetes and high blood pressure
• Helps to achieve and maintain a healthy body weight
• Contributes to healthy bones, muscles and joints
• Helps relieve anxiety and depression
• Promotes well-being and reduces stress
• Is associated with fewer doctor visits, hospitalizations and medications
• Helps prevent and treat chronic medical conditions associated with old age
• Increases energy levels and promotes sound sleep
• Strengthens immune system

I know that I would take that pill - wouldn’t you? Exercise may not be something that you can gulp down with a glass of water, but it will offer you all of the above benefits that can greatly enhance your quality of life. Excuses, excuses, excuses… I know what you are thinking. Those benefits sound great, but I can’t exercise because:

• Exercise is painful. Not if you do the type most suitable for you.

• Exercise is boring. Most people who exercise find it to be quite enjoyable.

• Exercise takes too long. It only takes 30-60 minutes a day.

• Exercise is confusing. Not when you work with a trained professional (me).

• Exercise if for young people. Studies have shown that exercise if for all ages.

Get Started the Right Way. Many people have started an exercise program only to quit days later. Now that you have decided that exercise may be worth your time after all, ensure your success with the following tips:

• Make a Commitment

You know the meaning and value of a solid commitment. It’s in your blood. So don’t view exercise as something you will merely try. You will only reap the true benefits of exercise when you stick with it. A great way to reinforce your commitment is to solicit the support of your friends and family. Tell them how you plan to improve your health and quality of life through exercise - who knows, they may join you.

• Set Reachable Goals

This is an immensely important ingredient to your success. Don’t start your exercise program with unreasonable expectations. If you expect to lose all of your unwanted pounds, drop your blood pressure and cure your joint pain all in one week then you will be sorely disappointed. Remember that it took years for your body to fall out of shape so it makes sense that it will take some time to regain it. The key to unlocking all of the benefits of exercise lies in one word: consistency. Only then will your body be transformed.

• Rearrange Your Schedule

They say that you can’t teach an old dog new tricks. This may be because his schedule simply didn’t allow for it. The truth is that as we age there is a tendency to become ’stuck in our ways.’ The thought of rearranging your schedule may leave you a bit squeamish. Remind yourself that exercise is worth your time and then think long and hard about your daily schedule. The fact is that you do have time to lend toward exercise - you simply need to find it. Set aside 30-60 minutes for exercise and then stick with it.

• Increase the Challenge

You should start your New Orleans exercise program with the thought of easing into it.

Since you haven’t exercised in awhile your body will need to build up strength and endurance.

Consider a car that has been sitting in your garage for years. You wouldn’t turn it on and instantly slam down on the gas would you? You need to warm it up.
However, this warm up period should not last forever. Your body has an amazing ability to adapt to new challenges and will grow complacent when asked to do the same exercises over and over.

When your routine begins to feel easy take that as a hint to increase the challenge. I want to help you achieve all of the benefits that consistent exercise can bring you.
Don’t let another day pass you by. You deserve the good life.

Take action now.

In the video my daughter is re-creating a dance number in the movie that they sung to called “You got 16 Minutes”.

Really I have no idea what the songs name is all I know is that they repeated the words “16 minutes” about 30 times.

Anyway checkout the video and at the end you will see my daughter actually takes the camera from me and starts asking me questions!

How to Find The Right New Orleans Personal Trainer
This is a Fitness Guest Post by Christian Aguirre


Getting fit for the new year is in the conscious minds of most New Orleans residents.

Most of you will probably start a new fitness program at the beginning of the year.

Some of you may join a gym, begin a new nutrition plan, or maybe find your local personal trainer in New Orleans.

A personal trainer job is to get you back into shape, keeping you motivated, and customizing a workout program for your fitness goals.
But how do you pick personal trainer in New Orleans?

4 easy tips in finding a New Orleans personal trainer:

1. Make sure and interview several different personal trainers in New Orleans to make sure they are the right fit for you. This is very important that your personality meshes well with theirs . The reason being is because you are going to spend 2-3 days a week for at least 3-6 months with this person. You don’t want to be stuck for 3-6 months with someone you don’t like. So make sure your personality is compatible with theirs.

2. Find out what kind of national certifications or college degrees they hold. You want to make sure that you are working with an educated trainer and not someone who just read a couple of muscle magazines.

3 Interview their clients. Find out how long each client has been working with that trainer, what kind of results have they seen, and what their workouts are like. Chances are if they are good their clients would have been with them for a long period of time, have seen significant results, and love their workouts. Clients won’t lie to you if they thought their trainer wasn’t good.

4 Check for Tons of Testimonials and Success stories! Proof is in the pudding!  Make sure that the Personal Trainers website is loaded with videos, pics, and written testimonials from their clients..This is something that Jonas has really done to prove he has the Best Fitness Boot Camp Program in New Orleans for fast fat loss!

New Orleans City Park Boot Camp

Is it possible for an extremely low cost New Orleans City Park Boot Camp to blast away fat in all of your problem areas, leaving you more toned and firm than you even though possible, and making you feel more confident about your body than you ever have?

Absolutely!

Just Think of What it Would Mean to:

• Stop having to deal with boring workouts that not only demotivate you, but also leave gobs of fat exactly where you don’t want them.

• Never again have to wonder alone inside dirty gyms that you feel uncomfortable and self-conscious.

• Never again have to deal with personal trainers who charge stunningly high rates or  unorganized and Crappy boot camps , all the while doing nothing more than brag about the kind of people they have trained and count reps and focus on fund raising instead of YOU.

• Really get fired up about working out at an New Orleans  Boot Camp in City Park, to the point where you stop putting it aside to another day, and really start doing it right now.

• Never have to deal with feeling uncomfortable about your body.  To go the store and find that every single item you pick up off of the rack looks great on you, and having a much wider selection of clothes to choose from in the first place.

• Never again have to feel overwhelmed by the sheer amount of fitness information out there, and only understand and use the kind of valuable info and techniques that get results, and do it quickly in a one of a kind New Orleans City Park Boot Camp.

Dear Fitness Seeker,

I know where you are coming from, and I totally sympathize.

I know what it’s like to not be totally comfortable with what you see in the mirror. To really have that yearning for a firmer, leaner body, but never being quite sure how it can be achieved when there are only so many hours in a day.

I am also familiar with bouncing from one failed fitness program to another, working out for hours at a time without getting anything near the kind of results I thought I would get.  I even tried a few boot camps that I just wasn’t too happy with.

I suffered like this for a very long time, until one day I decided to learn everything I could about fitness.  I used that knowledge to finally find a set of explosive exercise techniques that helped me rip the fat off of my body much faster than I thought possible.

Today, I have distilled all of that knowledge to create on of the finest fitness boot camps in City Park in New Orleans.  You are lead through a series of high intensity workouts that are specifically designed to remove fat, even from real trouble areas.

You can get the body you want through this New Orleans Fitness Boot Camp, but you have to take the first step and call.

Once you start working out with this innovative program and start using these fantastic exercise techniques, you will discover for yourself just how effective they, and just how motivated you can be to exercise.

One of the biggest myths that you will encounter in the world of fitness is that you have to give a massive amount of time in order to get into shape. A lot of fitness instructors at fitness boot camps like to pad their wallets trying to convince you that the only possible way to get slim and lean is through essentially devoting your life to fitness.

Nothing could be further from the truth, and we prove it every day at our boot camps in City Park New Orleans.

You don’t have to be a total gym rat in order to really achieve a hot body.  All it takes is the right kind of high intensity exercises, like we can give you at our New Orleans Boot Camp.

Look, even if you think you don’t have the time, and even if you think that you have too much to lose, you can a great deal of success by experiencing the fat burning workouts at our New Orleans Boot Camp!

So if you are sick of all the Crappy New Orleans boot camps located in Mid city and City Park / Lake view area!
We will be more then Honored to have you in our program.
