Hey! How’s your week going? Mine’s been crazy busy (finishing up a couple of projects and starting a HUGE new one…), but I still wanted to send you a quick note and I thought I’d do something a bit different with this post.

There's no reason for posting this picture...but I still like it!

I thought I’d share a few links to some new and older articles, workouts and videos that you might have missed.

First up is a newbie. It’s another quick 4-Minute Workout video. The link takes you to my YouTube page and if you haven’t subscribed yet, you really should. Sometimes I don’t let everyone know when I add new workout videos and the only way to see them is to subscribe.

Next up is an article I sent out last week about how weight loss and financial planning are related. The spam filters HATED it, but it’s a nice little article.

Another recent article was about 3 very specific questions you need to ask yourself in order to kick-start your fat loss. Ask them and you’ll be on your way!

The last one I’ll share with you is a bunch of workouts I did in the month of May. I know it’s almost July, but the workouts still work and it’s still summer-time and you can still blast a bunch of fat before the end of swimsuit season with these puppies!

That’s all I have for today!

I hope you have an awesome week and if there’s ever anything you’d like me to cover in these articles or videos, shoot me an email to let me know.

Have an awesome day!

P.S. – I couldn’t help myself…here’s another link to an article showing you how to Bust out of your Weight Loss Plateaus. To check it out, click here => http://thefitdadsays.com/stuck-in-a-rut-need-to-bust-through-your-weight-loss-plateau/

Are You Busting Your Ass?

Posted by: Ed Scow, aka 'The Fit Dad' | Comments (0)

Wednesday, March 10th, 2010

Given that I actually train people on a daily basis, I can control (to a certain degree) how hard they work.

Granted there are situations when I don’t push someone very hard – goals, their mood, how they’re feeling, age, etc. are all factors in how hard I push someone.

But what’s for certain is how hard I push MYSELF in my own workouts – I always bust my butt and keep the intensity cranked up. If I’m feeling tired or run-down, I’ll still keep the intensity up but I’ll cut the time down. If I’m feeling good, I’ll crank the intensity up even more and lengthen the workout a bit (but never longer than 25 minutes).

Far too few people actually follow through with the “kick your butt” mentality when it comes to workouts and that’s a shame because it’s vital if you want to see results plus the higher the intensity the better you feel when you’re done. There’s just something magical about a killer workout that sends your endorphins through the roof.

I made a quick video about the importance of busting your own ass in your workouts.

Like to see it, here it go…

So what do you think? Am I off base or does what I’m saying make sense?

Have an awesome day!

Big Book Of Exercises by Men’s Health And Women’s Health

It’s rare that I pimp books – especially if I haven’t written them myself and don’t know the person who wrote it, but I’ve got to tell you about a couple books that hit the shelves a couple weeks ago.

Both are called “The Big Book Of Exercises” and are put out by Men’s Health Magazine and Women’s Health Magazine. They are 2 awesome books that cover 619 exercises – including pictures, detailed descrptions, etc. and the exercises are split up into what areas of the body they predominantly work, etc.

But if you want to know the COOLEST part…the MOST AWESOMEST (my word) part…the HOTTEST DAMN-DIGGITY part…the WICKED COOL part (with thick Boston accent)…the ASS-KICKINEST (my word) part – okay now I’ve run out of phrases for cool so I’ll just get to the point…

Watch the video to see why these books are so bloody awesome and why I wholeheartedly recommend them!

I think these books should be a part of everyone’s fitness library. To get your hands on them, click the images below and you’ll be taken to Amazon.com or you can head to your nearest bookseller or I imagine you could get them from the Men’s Health and Women’s Health websites.

P.S. – I get ZERO money by telling you to go buy those books…nada…zilch…not a damn thing so don’t think I’m pimping something just because I get paid.

Quick Diet And Exercise Tip

Posted by: Ed Scow, aka 'The Fit Dad' | Comments (4)

Wednesday, December 30th, 2009

I don’t like working out with other people. That’s not totally true because if I have a workout buddy, I generally work harder BUT I don’t like working out in gyms and I sure as hell don’t like it when people walk into my studio while I’m doing a workout.

Mostly because I don’t want to try and have a conversation with a potential client…or crappy salesperson, while I’m sweaty and panting.

It makes me grumpy.

However, today while I was working out my “water man” stopped by to drop off some water jugs and we struck up a little conversation because he looked like he had lost weight and given that this is the time of year most folks GAIN weight, I wanted to see what he’s been doing over the past couple months to get rid of that blubber.

Check the video out to see what he told me…you may be surprised at his answer.
