Today we’re going to cover a few bullet points of falling off the wagon. Chuck pony style; the kind that leaves you all warm and fuzzy inside, like a Meg Ryan movie (completely normal to cry to Joe And The Volcano).

So here’s the scenario:

You’ve decided to finally commit yourself to eating better and working out.

You’ve been hitting training sessions pretty good, well, as best you can while still leaving optional room for thirsty Thursdays, liquid lunch Fridays and sweetness sweet Saturdays. Not to forget, blow my f*#*ing brains out Monday

None the less, you’re Hero-ing 3 days a week! With all due respect I’d say you’re one Celine Dion hit away from complete self-annihilation, however, here are some tips to cool your passive aggressive anger and abandonment fantasies. Take it away Johnny!

1. When you want to eat something really-really-really bad, brush your teeth. If that doesn’t work, lift your shirt and gaze at your love lumps in the mirror. If that doesn’t do it, review your life insurance policy and see what it says about obesity and if there’s a Twix or Twinkie clause. Or in most cases, I’d suggest eating a clementine or orange first. Usually the sweetness of the citrus will curb some sugar cravings and lay those lovely lady lumps to rest.
 
 
2. When you’re having a tantrum on training, remember if you do, you’ll be better than your closest friends at every sport in about 5 years. If that doesn’t help, remember being the HOTT DAD at the playground, BBQ’s, reunions, High School athletic events and the infatuation of all the other moms and wives is ridiculously rewarding.
 
 
3. Put on a t-shirt from high school, or your favorite jeans or dress shirt that your girlfriend from three girlfriends past gifted you. Does it fit? If not, go on Facebook and find her latest profile pic. Does she look hot? Is her new boyfriend a good looking guy, maybe a little James Dean-esque-bad-boy? If so, I swear you’ll be at the gym and swallowing copious amounts of BCAA’s and protein powder in nanoseconds!
 
 
4. Call your most successful friend and ask him to meet you at the gym. Usually, seeing someone kick some ass, leads to you kicking more ass! Just don’t slap asses in the gym. Cue the 1980’s-training-room-montage-scene!
 
 
5. Call your ex-girlfriend, any should suffice, and ask her what went wrong. This list should provide ample weeks of hate and fantastic motivation.
 
 
6. Go back in your head to a time you got your grill knocked in by the schoolyard bully. Imagine how good it would feel to approach him as an adult after a few months of hitting it hard and knocking his ass out! If he just so happens to be a UFC fighter then maybe you can revert to a memory when the lunch-lady shafted you a full serving of garlic rice ball or shitty corner piece of pizza with two sides of crust…. some people are just evil.
 
 
7. Watch The Fighter or Rocky. Hell watch Designing Women if Anthony or Mary Jo inspire you. But watch something for fuel!
    
   

   ADRENALINE SURGE!

 
8. When all else fails pamper yourself bro. Cucumber eyes and facials. LIFE CHANGING!
 
 

LIVE THE DREAM! And adapted from the lyrics of John Lennon “peace and chicken grease”,

Granted, many limelight whores drench their systems with tangible excesses and illegal substances, however, not many people understand the escape a starlit world delivers. And very few people, unless closely associated with the camp, understand the work ethic, tenacity, drive, devotion and focus these individuals possess.

I am very lucky at Belley Fitness, in that I’ve had the opportunity to work with rock stars, albeit successful ones.

These are images of the past of workouts conquered and handled for 90 minutes or longer, nonstop.

Full scale assault on the body.

Many people would complain or even whence at the idea of this training.

Many people believe 30-45 minutes of activity 3-5 days per week is enough to look great and improve at a good pace.

Unfortunately, this is not the case.

Most of us in the know, train upwards of hours a day. I myself require roughly 9 hours a week to stay consistent or to maintain. Sucks but someone has to do it May as well be me.

These individuals also get it. They delve into workouts sometimes 2 hours in length. Not to mention yoga poses or light pre/rehab work first thing in the morning.

So the next time you see a Rockstar in amazing shape, remember, most often they’re not genetics, their body isn’t easy to attain because they’re celebrities and have access to trainers and personal chefs.

They have great bodies and are celebrity Rockstars because they simply try and little harder and have extreme focus.

Live the dream and create your own reality!

So you want strong forearms?

But you don’t want to look silly holding a shake weight.

Because quite frankly, it actually looks like you’re __________ something ___ while really _____ into it and honestly then the whole world knows how you look on ________ night while watching the latest coveted CINEMAX releases.

Plus, once everyone finds out, they all want you to ride middle on ski trips.

Not flattering.

So here’s your ANTI-SHAKE WEIGHT THURSDAY exercise!!!

Requirements:

A Horse
A pair of gloves
Just kidding

It’s called a Burpee with Push and Pull-Up or Up Downs or Body Counters or anything clever the yoga community hasn’t thought of yet containing an animal and one adverb in the title.

Real Requirements:

You
Stationary bar fixed/mounted overhead

SIMPLE AS IT GETS!

Simply drop to the floor, into push-up position. Perform one push-up. Jump back to standing position while simultaneously leaping upward, grabbing the bar overhead, and pulling-yourself up. Drop, rinse, repeat.

Too easy.

Here’s a video link demonstrating for you.

One of our stud athletes, Adam O’Reilly. He’s ballistic.

And if you want to get tricky, you can either add a weight vest for more resistance, OR, simply add in a muscle-up, as demonstrated by me here.

Stay real, and stay off the shake weight.

Because it makes you look _____ and didn’t your mother tell you never to represent yourself as such in public

Live the dream!

Having taught multiple cooking classes these past weeks, a few attendees have said there tired of the same old thing on the grill. Nonsense, I say! There are several ways to get flavor to your food and use what’s on hand.

1st: Look in your spice cabinet and identify those ingredients that you rarely use. Mix 3 or 4 of the dried spices that work together with a bit of oil to make a “wet rub”, an example:  1 T. curry powder, ½ t ginger, 1 t dried thyme or cilantro leaves and ½ t dried cumin mixed with ¼ cup of warmed olive oil makes a nice paste to spread over chicken, ribs or beef tips. Use a pastry brush to coat a fair amount over your food then grill on medium heat until desired temperature is reached.

2nd: More than likely the condiment or door section in your refrigerator holds a few of the same ingredients. Try small amounts at first and combine to taste, if you like the flavor profile mix a larger quantity and use to compliment your grilled fish, vegetables or chicken. You will need a bowl, whisk and possibly a food processor (for larger quantities). Than an investor, once you have discovered the best tasting sauce that money can buy!          

As we have said many a time, cooking doesn’t have to be all consuming. Yes, you may need a little time & patience, but that’s it! Were all creative in our own way, take what you like and build on that.

Here are 2 recipes concocted from being creative and utilizing ingredients on hand:

 ASIAN SLAW

INGREDIENTS:

2 Tbsp. sesame oil

2 Tbsp. rice vinegar

2 Tbsp. Dijon mustard

1 tsp. garlic, minced

1 tsp. oyster sauce

1 Tbsp. finely julienned ginger

1 bag Fresh Express Cole slaw mix

Salt and pepper to taste

 METHOD:

1. Mix the first 6 ingredients in a plastic container or bowl until blended.
2. Then toss with the fresh express Cole slaw mix and refrigerate.
3. Toss periodically every 15 minutes.

   Before serving, taste for seasoning, garnish with sesame seeds or some fresh garden chopped herbs.

Tamarind Glazed Chicken

1. Heat butter in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onions and garlic and cook until soft. Add remaining ingredients and cook for 15 minutes. Place mixture in a blender and blend until smooth. Return to the saucepan and cook an additional 15 to 20 minutes, or until thickened.
2. For the Grill, preheat grill: Brush chicken with vegetable oil and toss with garlic, thyme and salt / pepper to taste. Grill chicken for 8 to 9 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove chicken from the grill and brush with the sauce.
3. For Roasting, preheat the oven to 375^o: brush with the sauce on the chicken then toss with the thyme leaves, garlic and season lightly with salt and pepper. Coat a roasting dish with oil or vegetable spray. Place in chicken and roast for 23 to 25 minutes.
