Kettlebells for Abs Circuit – “Rippers”

The workout is from my new “Kettlebells for Abs” course…

We do 3 exercises, :30 each, :15 rest between moves, 3 rounds total:

  • Bear Plank KB Drag-Thru
  • KB Foot Taps
  • Side Plank w/ Hip Dip

Watch the video for a quick breakdown on how to do the moves.

Meet Ted :)

Meet Ted! 🙂

Like so many others, when the pandemic hit, Ted could not attend his usual gym, but still wanted to keep his fitness program going.

For him, our at-home workouts have been an excellent fit. In his words:

“I joined FVT as an online ZOOM client when the COVID-19 epidemic hit and I could not attend my usual gym. I have been immensely pleased with the workouts, nutrition advice, and I am reaching my goals. Basically, I get to workout in my guest room where I don’t have to worry about coming into contact with other gym members.

Forest and his team are super friendly, helpful, and for me, it’s been an excellent experience. I strongly recommend this gym.”

Ted, thanks for the kind words! We appreciate your hard work, consistency, and positive attitude!

Is there a possibility that you might be doing a little extra eating and drinking over the Hoidays?

If so, here is one strategy you can use: bonus “mini workouts” like the one I’m sharing with you today.

According to health.harvard.edu, workouts like the one in the video I’m sharing with you today could burn 100 extra calories, give or take (depends on your exact weight and body comp, but that’s a general estimate).

Plus, your metabolism will be elevated afterwards too, so you will continue to burn more calories all day long.

Pair daily “mini-workouts” like this with awareness and sensible choices over the Holidays, and you have a great fitness strategy in place.

5 Breads That Are Actually Good For You…

When people go on a diet, one of the first items to go is typically bread.

But carbs shouldn’t always be the first thing you cut.

Eliminating carbohydrates all together could actually keep you from achieving healthy, lasting weight loss.

Moderation is one key. A slice or two per day of the bread types listed below could fit into an overall healthy diet. Four or five or six or more slices per day, not so much.

Another is looking at the ingredients. If you are going to include breads in your diet, stay away from breads that are high in fillers, additives, and sugar.

Here are five breads I found that, in moderation, can actually be good for you, and that you can probably find at your local store:

1 – Eureka! Seeds The Day, Organic

2 – Ezekiel 4:9 Low Sodium Sprouted Whole Grain Bread

3 – Arnold Whole Grains 100% Whole Wheat Bread

4 – Ezekiel 4:9 Sesame Sprouted Whole Grain Bread

5 – Nature’s Harvest Stone Ground 100% Whole Wheat Bread

#

Is this nutrition advice contrary to what you’ve heard?

Did you think you would need to stop eating bread to reach your weight loss goals?

There is a LOT of conflicting nutrition advice out there, so it’s not your fault!

But we are here to help.

And our 14-day Holiday Shred Challenge is the perfect opportunity to focus on your nutrition, and get a running start on your fitness goals for the New Year.

And we look forward to hearing from you!
