Please don't try this at home unless you are a Certified Personal Trainer Specialized in Burpee Flying

It’s Sunday, I was supposed to go to the gym.

For whatever reason I didn’t go. Have you ever done this before?

Another Parade in New Orleans, colder weather after a shorts and t-shirt week, too big of a breakfast…

A buddy of mine recently re-acquainted me with good old fashion burpees.

Remember those ones you did in grade school?

So… as lazy as I felt today I devised my Flying Burpee Routine.

Actually nothing at all to do flying, but this picture cracks me up, what do you think, ninja training?

Here Is The Workout

You are going start the time and do 10 burpies. Every minute on the minute you doing another round of bumpies, 1 less than last time, until you get to 1.

As soon as you do the last one, do 10 more for good luck. Stick to the “on the minute” as a guideline, but do it as fast as you can with perfect form.

This took me 6 minutes and 36 seconds and was a great quick pick me up.

You workout will look something like this.

• 10 Burpees (41 seconds, good form, not to fast, not to slow, jump as high as you can)
• 19 secs rest (Start on 1:00)
• 9 Burpees (39 seconds)
• 21 secs rest (Start on 2:00)
• 8 Burpess …
• (take shorter rests as needed, go for time)
• 2 Burpees
• 1 Burpee
• Rest
• 10 Burpees

And, if you can’t handle my flying burpee workouts, or it’s too easy, here is the Sexy Chick Workout which is way too hard for me.

Which workout did you like better?

Which one was harder?

Give it a 10 for 10 or thumbs up!

Mardi Gras, SuperBowl and now the Olympics!

New Orleans has been a constant party that never seems to stop.

After a spectacular game in Miami, the New Orleans Saints came home to record crowds at the Super Bowl Victory Parade.

I am fortunate enough to be in New Orleans during this time and had the opportunity to go down and watch the parade live. Despite the cold weather it was a blast.

The streets were packed, and after a long drive and a struggle to find a parking spot we manged to find a sweet spot to watch the parade in a tree!

I have been obsessed with being a Rock Star for quite a few years now. I am not musically inclined what so ever, but the sex, drugs, and rock and roll slogan gets me pumped up and ready to rock every time.

I am not nearly as reckless as I was in my early twenties and teenage years, but when the opportunity struck to get dressed up like a Rock Star last week for Halloween I jumped all over it.

Red Tights, Fur Jacket, Mardi Gras Beads, and a Guitar!

With boatloads of compliments to stoke my confidence I played the part extremely well. Its not hard for me to get riled up, and well, a little out of control.

I set pretty high standards for myself and so should you. So when I think about being a Rock Star, I think about all the things I could do and have with an excessive amount of cash in my hands. Cars, boats, houses, vacations, toys…

I'm not going lie to ya, my fire was nothing like this one.

My friggin house caught on fire. It was the most devastating and intense time of my life. This all happened just over a year ago.

The story goes like this. Two years ago I had a million dollar idea(I am still working on it).

I worked on it day and night and finally after a year, I started seeing some results. If you have recently been through my Personal Trainer Business Bootcamp you probably remember me talking about residual income and multiple streams of income.

If you don’t remember, I don’t blame you, some of you have not heard from me in a year. I apologize for that.

So anyways, a goal of mine was to retire at 30 for as long as I can remember. I tend to be an overachiever… I’m sure you are too.

Well last year, sometime in September, I was able to walk away from my job and live off of my passive income streams that I had created for myself.

I was 29, excited, and on top of the world. I had a vacation planned from Mexico to Peru with my girlfriend with no time frame to come home. We were all set to leave in October.

We were days away from our epic adventure, when it turned ugly…

We came home from a Thanksgiving dinner (Thanksgiving is in October up here in Canada) and when I opened the door to my house, black smoke hit me in the face.

It actually knocked me back a foot…

Within a split second I knew my house was on fire!

Summer is coming to an end up here in Canada. There are only so many hot, sunny days left as fall is quickly approaching.

I’m doing a home reno, I don’t now why I torture myself, but I always seem to start these projects when I have so much going on in my life. This time around I hired a friend to help me out, my experience is limited, but I feel the need to at least help. I figure home improvements are a good skill to acquire. After all, real estate is a key component in become wealthy.

So, its Tuesday and I have all these things going on, I’m developing a humor section on my blog which is catching on. Seriously, if you need a good ab workout or just want to laugh check out “bust a gut”.

I’m trying to figure out a simple solution for people to be able to submit articles for this blog. I also want a certain blurb at the bottom of only certain categories, but I have no idea how to accomplish this, yet. On top of that, I am planning some training videos for some of my student, and oh ya, I got this Home Renovation project.

So the phone rings…

Casey: Hello

Brian: (good buddy) : Casey, how it going? I just got in to town. What are you doing today?

Casey: Things are good Brian, I’m working on….. and… and… . and…

Brian: You wanna go Wakeboarding today?

Casey: Absolutely!

Brian: Awesome, I have been working straight for 6 weeks, its going be the last hot day of summer and everyone else has to work. Ill pick you up in 45 minutes.
