Kettlebell Sport Mini-Marathon Demonstrations

mattbrennan1980 — Tue, 10 Apr 2012 13:45:56 +0000

I wanted to highlight a Synergy member who I really feel deserves some credit for all her hard work. Courtney Szorc finished her first kettlebell mini-marathon a couple weeks ago in March. She did the Kettlebell Jerk for 30 minutes straight. She did this all without setting the bell down on the floor.
Courtney has trained really hard with me in Kettlebell Sport over the last few years. When her brother completed a mini-Kettlebell marathon for a charity in Australia ...

Kettlebell & Nutrition Workshops at Synergy

Bob Garon — Mon, 09 Apr 2012 21:29:04 +0000

All too often people workout either not enough or just too much. I don’t really see folks capitalize on the simplicity of training and seem to try to go for what entertains them more than can clearly get them real results. Ultimately you can receive all the needed exercise to produce substantial results directly from a shorter, but more intense, workout than a longer one which certainly must have the intensity scaled back as well since the time is ...

What Should You Eat BEFORE or AFTER A Workout?

What Should You Eat Before Your Workout?

I had a Synergy member come to a workout one day and had to stop because she was going to puke. I asked her if she was going to be alright and if she knew what was causing her Mr. Pukey feeling. She said that before she came she was hungry so she ate a big ‘ol bowl of Lucky Charms cereal. WHOA THERE!!! Was she trying to find the ...

Big Tire Workout: Partner Tire Push at Synergy Kettlebell Training

Bob Garon — Fri, 23 Mar 2012 19:47:11 +0000

Using odd objects, such as big tractor tires, are a great way to get fit and strong while enjoying the workout because it’s not endless hours on the treadmill or elliptical machine. If you want to get fit and strong you’ve got to do things that are going to give you resistance without helping you stabilize like the machines in the big box gyms do. If you want to be your best you have got to train at your best ...

Do It Yourself Fitness Sled

Bob Garon — Thu, 08 Mar 2012 22:30:38 +0000

Sleds are really great fitness tool that deliver a challenging full-body workout, but the problem with most fitness sleds are that they are outrageously priced. I found an easy and low cost solution. The best part is that my home-made sled actually works very well and only costed me about $12 for all supplies.

How Minimalist Shoes Helped Me

mattbrennan1980 — Thu, 23 Feb 2012 02:58:59 +0000

I’ve been wearing barefoot shoes for about four years and absolutely love them. I used to wear orthotics in all of my shoes for years. The doctors told me I was flat footed without an arch, but they never seemed to help me in the way I needed, and even felt like my leg joints were getting continually beat up. I had herniated two discs in my lower back a few years ago and wanted to do everything I could ...

Fudge Bombs or Fudge Babies (RECIPE)

Bob Garon — Wed, 22 Feb 2012 17:37:03 +0000

These things are so awesome! We shared them at our Synergy Social member appreciation party this past Saturday. All the food was amazing, but I think these and Susan’s jicama salad stole the show! True Story!! These “Fudge Bombs” are essentially Paleo Brownie Bites or brownies done paleo style. Give them a go cause I know you will love them as much as we do.

Ingredients:
1 c raw whole pecans soaked
1 cup pitted dates
1 teaspoon vanilla ...

Healthy Breakfast: Starting Your Day Off Right

Bob Garon — Mon, 13 Feb 2012 21:12:09 +0000

Lots of people have been asking me recently what is the best thing to do for breakfast. There’s nothing wrong with eating the early meal, so long as you keep a few things in mind.

I recently asked the question on Facebook to get an idea of what people were doing for this meal. The post has more than 50 comments on it. The key is to try and avoid grains, and foods that are high in sugars, ...
