Bob Garon — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 02:45:09 +0000

We just wrapped up a really good month of our “No B & P” 30 Day Challenge. We had the very best commitment yet for the challenge and had more No B & Pers than ever. Let’s keep our momentum and results going cause next up is our brand new 30 Day Challenge appropriately titled: Sweet & Salty.

I decided our slogan should be something easy to remember so I came up with this: “Whatever Your Vice or Crutch, ...

So you’ve decided to eat healthy. Congratulations, that is a big first step to a healthier lifestyle. Now, it is important to take a look at what is in the foods that you eat. Not all foods are as healthy as they may appear on the surface.
We all have that favorite healthy go to meal. You know the meal. It’s the one that we can either get quickly, or just pop in the microwave. Do you really know ...

Breathing To Become A More Efficient Kettlebell Lifter

Bob Garon — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 20:37:01 +0000

This is Coach Sergey Rudnev, my own coach and Honored Master of Sport in Russia. It may take you 3 or 4 times watching this mini clip to really get it, but if you breath like this you will actually keep your heart rate lower so you can lift longer without the issue of a racing heart. The reason why this occurs is because you will be getting more oxygen into the blood and that alone will assist to ...

Grain Free Traditional Chocolate Chip Cookies

Bob Garon — Sat, 14 Jan 2012 14:58:44 +0000

I love cookies and refrain from eating them often because of the grains and sugars. Of course grain-free alternatives are a dime a dozen, BUT actually good tasting ones are very hard to come by. Until now…
I stumbled across a recipe from a member of Elana’s Pantry forum. Not all recipes on that site are good as many call for using agave syrup and other not so healthy ingredients, but this one is pretty good. I did make some ...

The Challenge of Challenge

Bob Garon — Fri, 06 Jan 2012 14:49:33 +0000

Challenges are hard. Yep… they are! They are meant to me. That’s the way it’s supposed to be. If they were easy then everyone would be doing it. We face many challenges over our entire lives, but if we allow ourselves to be overrun by excuses and mental limitations then we l never ever be successful at overcoming whatever is the challenge.
Remember no matter what your challenge we must face our fear of failure. It happens and it ...

LOTS of you will be starting fitness again really soon. Keep a couple things in mind when you do.

Kettlebell Training EQUALS Strength Endurance NOT Bulk

Bob Garon — Thu, 29 Dec 2011 18:13:44 +0000

Lately I have encountered a few people who have expressed to me that they purposely do not use heavier weights during their workouts because they believe they will bulk up if they do.
We, at Synergy, are not training for bulk. When I hear them say these things I then reciprocate with these questions:

Are you eating to bulk up? Nope probably not. If you are bulking because of your eating then you are not eating ...

The Simple Secret To Full-Body Health and Energy

Bob Garon — Thu, 22 Dec 2011 20:48:57 +0000

Probably not a news flash, or maybe it is, but tis 100% true! If you struggle with your body not losing fat and being low on energy I strongly recommend eliminating or restricting grain consumption (yes all types of grain “foods”), dairy, night shade family foods, and of course sugars.
What to eat? Good question! High fats (all kinds except trans-fat) such as raw nuts/seeds, 80% dark chocolate, avocado, coconut oil, pasture butter, etc. as well as ...

Voices In Your Head

Bob Garon — Wed, 14 Dec 2011 23:08:31 +0000

I often tell my Synergy Kettlebell Training clients that they should not be listening to the voices in their head. Okay before you think we’re a group of mentals out of “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest” consider those voices that chime in right when you approach your limits that interrupt you from achieving your goal and working hard to push beyond. Now those are the voices I’m talking about!
Shut out the negative and discern what you will allow ...
