"A seamless marriage of corrective and performance exercise, Dynami digs deep into the RKC kettlebell fundamentals with sophisticated FMS tools. A serious program for a serious practitioner."Pavel Tsatsouline, author of Enter the Kettlebell!
No one but a certified lunatic or a suicidal fool would punch up a Bugatti Veyron to its full 253 mph—while rigged with four different-sized wheels, paper-thin brakes—and a dodgy steering wheel…
Yet, athletes of every ilk take this risk with their own bodies on a serial basis. Every time he thinks he's up-grading himself, chances are the average athlete is simultaneouslyde-grading himself… And the more skilled the athlete, the more savage the likely damage.
Why?
Disregard for balance, folks…disregard for balance…
In our hunger to express ever-more power, most of us fail to create the foundational structure to safely express that power. It's Pavel's analogy of firing a cannon out of a row boat. Disaster waiting to happen.
And correct foundational structure implies perfect balance, perfect proportion… Anything less and you're on the slippery slide of dysfunctional, ugly movement—the inevitable precursor to activity-crippling injury.
No team has done more this century to offer a working solution to this athletic dilemma than Gray Cook and Brett Jones….
Beginning with his trailblazing Athletic Body and Balance, his creation of the FMS system, and now with his magisterial new Movement, Gray Cook has established himself as without peer in the realm of functional movement, screening, assessment and corrective strategies.
Then, thanks to the rock-star combo with Brett Jones, we saw the creation of the CK-FMS, the Secrets Of series,Kettlebells from the Ground Up and now the latest masterly program, Kettlebells from the Center—Dynami.
As any good martial artist or football player will tell you, issuing power without a solid structure is just begging for injury.
Dynami offers a blueprint to ensure not only you possess the power but you possess the structure and foundation to handle your power safely.
For what you'd pay for one average sports massage,Dynami gives you a lifetime of strategies to ensure you continue to deal out your punishment in the right direction: your opponent, not your own self.
To quote Brett and Gray:
"Do not build your house on a foundation of sand—this is time honored and excellent advice. A rock-solid foundation means a house that will last. Power training should follow the same mind set.
Kettlebells from the Center—Dynami lays out a systematic approach to develop the proper pattern or foundation for the two best power moves – the Kettlebell Swing and Kettlebell Push-Press. Once a pattern has been formed the program continues to cement the proper pattern with strength moves like the Kettlebell Squat and Kettlebell Tall Kneeling Press. Then the program takes a unique approach to symmetry. Symmetry of strength is checked using Single Leg and Bottom Up kettlebell drills.
Then everything comes together to form the Dynami or Power."

Burn the Fat Holiday Challenge is about to begin!

The 2nd annual Burn the Fat holiday Challenge 49-day body
transformation contest is about to begin:

BURN THE FAT HOLIDAY CHALLENGE

Tom Venuto is sending the overall winners on an all inclusive
6-night hawaiian dream vacation to Maui.

Best part: You could be in the best shape of your life
when you go, if you are chosen as the winner.

Thousands of men and women have entered the last two
Burn the Fat challenges, and this year may be the biggest
burn the fat contest ever.

Some folks might be thinking "that's too much competition." But
listen, This contest is unique. This is not like a bodybuilding or
figure competition where the best physique - in absolute terms -
on that stage wins.

In this contest its about SELF IMPROVEMENT. that means
relative improvement - how much YOU improve, not how
you compare to the next guy or gal...

ANYBODY who makes BIG improvements could win - regardless of
what you weigh or what your body fat is today.

And you will be SHOCKED when you see how much you can improve
in just 49 short days.

The person in this fitness challenge contest who shows the
most personal improvement from before to after both visually via
photos and based on the numbers, in 49 days, is the person who
will win. A fitness expert judging panel will vote.

What's more, we have sub categories with winners for:

* Most ripped
* Best body recomposition (fat to muscle)
* Most inspirational
* Most supportive
* Top Team

Tom is giving away a whole slew of IPODS, IPADS, kindles autographed
books and more for these winners. IN fact we are giving away more
free membership time than ever before.

The grand prize winners get to spend 7 days and 6 nights in pure
luxury at the 5-star Four Seasons resort on Wailea beach in Maui Hawaii!

But you see, everyone is truly a winner in this contest because if you
go through the holidays, ENJOYING THEM TO THE FULLEST, while
transforming your body at the same time, and if you are in better
shape on New Year's Eve than you are today, that makes you a winner
whether you get awarded a prize or not.

Tom doesn't believe there are any "losers" in this challenge.

The official contest page is now open and the challenge official starts
just hours from now at 12:01 am, Thursday, November 18th, 2010

WHY??????








Previously I spoke about your “WHY” so now I’ll explain what I mean about it.

"YOUR "WHY" THE STARTING POINT OF SUCCESS
The 1st thing that'll contribute to reaching your goal is that you want to reach it badly enough!"

Above is a quote from my previous post.

When you start out to do something, we will use strength training as an example, typically you attack it with a goal in mind, let’s say a 400lb bench press. Normally a person will go out get a program, like Critical Bench, start the program but what happens after a few weeks depends on “WHY” that person started on that path in the 1st place. If the reason, [WHY], for a 400 bench was not strong enough the person then gets distracted and stops their pursuit. Where as if say the “WHY” he felt it would make him a better lineman for his football team which will help get a scholarship, that person will have a much better chance of reaching their goal.

Another way of achieving your goal is to sort of twist it into something that happens as a result of achieving another goal. You still need a strong why. This time let’s say a person wants to loose weight, but just dieting hasn’t worked in the past, one way to attack this would be to set another goal that will bring upon the weight loss. An example would be if a person has a goal to swing a 24kg kettlebell for 10 minutes straight to improve their cardio a side effect will be weight and fat loss. I know there are more factors but I think the point is made.

Sometimes the journey is better then the destination.

It is easy to gain muscles, lose fat!?








This post is an answer to a comment I received on a previous post, "It is easy to gain muscles lose fat!?"

That actually is a good question is it easy?

I will say the simple yes/ no answer is no. Why "no", because most people are looking for an "easy program" -"5 minute abs", "30 days to a new you", "lose fat fast while you sleep"...etc. Truth is you did not lose your abs in 5 minutes, become the person in the mirror in 30 days, or get fat last night. So why would a person expect to make the changes in a easy fast manner? See my point? You can make changes in a short time, but normally if you have quick easy results most do fall right back into the habits that brought them into the condition that you wanted to change. Change takes time, it has been shown that it takes 21-30 days to change a habit, 1 day to revert back!

"YOUR "WHY" THE STARTING POINT OF SUCCESS
The 1st thing that'll contribute to reaching your goal is that you want to reach it badly enough!"



There are a lot of very good programs that will help a person achieve, "HOLY GRAIL", "BURN THE FAT FEED THE MUSCLE", "KETTLEBELL BURN", "TURBULENCE TRAINING"...to name a few, but if your "why" isn't strong enough you will just fall back into the habits, life style, that will cause you to seek answers AGAIN! So find your "why", work it, live it, and you will have success and it will be easy!

More on "WHY" next post...
