After yesterdays yoga with instructor Kim Albano (who you can contact for private instruction at kalbano@nyc.rr.com) I was feeling refreshed and inspired. I’ve been training on the GTS, created by EFI sports medicine for the last 4 years, I use this machine exclusively at the NYPT studios in chelsea. Todays workout combined gravity jumps (throwing a medicine ball while doing jump squats)
Dead lifts while standing on the angled gravity platform
leg presses combined with crunches that really targets your core.
These are just a few of the movements I’ve created to burn calories and build lean muscle. Come on down to the NYC Strength Training studio and I’ll show you how.
Today I was fortunate enough to have an expert yoga instructor take me through about 25 minutes of yoga. I find that yoga is a great adjunct to strength training as it keeps those burgeoning muscles long and lean. There are many great instructors out there, there can teach you proper form and technique.
a more economical approach would be to select a few DVD’s to see what’s right for you.
When it gets hot, like it has been I feel naturally inclined to lift lighter, so i do. It’s hot today in NYC, about 95 and really sunny. It’s pretty hot in the gym too, so I’m gonna lift light weights and keep my reps high. Today I trained my legs and chest using bi - sets
1. leg press/push ups
2. leg curl/bench press
3. cable fly/seated calf
4. life fitness chest press/leg extension
5. 3 min. on the UBE (upper bdy ergometer)
6. life fitness preacher curls/ military style push ups
Every thing was about 15 - 20 reps, maybe 15 - 30 sec rest when needed.
