Started the day with a big dog walk, then biked to the gym. It was a Meathead Saturday, with DB press, pulldowns, bench, t-bar row. Followed that with a big bike ride down to Cherry beach and then home. Oh, and then another dog walk followed by steak and eggs. Not bad. We'll throw in a third walk later this afternoon. Three hours of walking the beaches. Good stuff.

When I was a full-time personal trainer back in 2004, the clients who always got the best results were those who went from 'low-intensity' training to Turbulence Training.   Basically, those who were doing slow cardio and then  switched to metabolic resistance training got FAST results.   Most of the time, these fast-results clients were women, and  so the #1

No workout for me today, just stretches, a long dog walk, and a visit to my chiropractor for Active Release Treatment. I don't have any major injuries, but benefit from regular treatment in response to the training I do. With just three weeks until the Tough Mudder run, I'm taking a conservative approach to training so that I'll be 100% on June 9th. I also watched

Challenging you to be as healthy as possible today. To avoid all man-made foods. To do a great workout or at least stay active for 30 minutes. And to avoid as much negativity while being as positive and optimistic as possible. How could that approach possibly hurt? My #meathead training today: Pullups, DB Press, T-bar row, Bench press, DB Tricep extensions, Rope

I have some good news, and some bad news today. We'll save the BAD news to the end, okay?   First, the good news about what happens when you eliminate gluten from your diet (using a TRUE gluten-free meal plan). As Dr. Peter Osborne told me in our interview, the benefits of going gluten free include: - Improvements in memory - Better regulation of bowel movements

One out of every three TT readers suffers from THIS specific diet problem that is keeping them fat, bloated, and sick.   And worse, recent research shows that over 90% of people on so-called 'special diets' do NOT get better because this ONE hidden ingredient - that is causing all the problems -  is found in so many foods that we eat today.   So if you have problems with

Staying in an average hotel with an average gym for a few days. I was still able to get in a half-decent upper body workout and then followed up with some bodyweight cardio in the hotel room. On Sunday morning there will be deadlifting. Looking forward to that back in Toronto. Quick video for you...Top Abs Exercises: - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=

My training today: Squat, box jumps, bulgarian split squats, glute ham raises. Later today I'm off to Cleveland for a Dan Kennedy seminar where I'll have little access the Internet to answer emails.

After a set of 6 hill runs in the forest by the farm, I sat back for a fitness and success QnA session. Q: Craig, are you taking in any supplements (protein shake, amino, creatine)? what's your take on 1gram of protein per 1lb of weight to gain muscle as being mentioned in a lot of fitness magazine? are you following the same? Answer: 1g per pound

We did a reverse QnA on my Facebook page today where I asked people who had done a Tough Mudder or Warrior Dash race to post about their experiences. Here were the replies. 1) I did the dash in Minnesota. I would say the heat, and hills were the worse. It was held at a ski resort, so lots of hills. I would have done more hill sprints in advance. - Adam

Friday was a late night in San Diego with Matt Smith, Bedros Keuilian, and 30 awesome personal trainer friends of mine. We had a great dinner at Donovan's Seafood restaurant. We ended up going to Donovan's for dinner five nights in a row. If you go there, get the sea bass...after you train at Fit Athletic, of course. This morning I did

Another great workout at Fit Athletic in San Diego. Watching the sun come up over Petco Park is a pretty good training view. Meathead Friday workout of DB Press, Pullups, Bench, Row, Triceps, and and Lateral Raises. Great start to the day.

The best way to get abs is to get lean, because the #truth is, we all have abs. But no amount of crunching is going to make them show through belly fat. The combination of metabolic resistance training and fat loss nutrition. Add my unique total-body ab exercises to the mix and you'll have a flat stomach and six-pack abs. Last day for this super $7 deal here

Abs. Everyone has them.    No matter what level of 'insulation' you have over your six-pack, I guarantee your abs are under there.   But no amount of crunching will bring them to the surface. For that matter, no amount of 'planking' or 'stability ball rolling out' will either.    No ab exercise is magic. Nor any infomercial ab gadget.   What works for getting

Workout at Fit Athletic in San Diego, done. Meathead upper body in a gym with filled with beautiful girls. Great place to train. Then had a great dinner at Donovan's Seafood with my best Armenian buddy, Bedros Keuilian. Fit Athletic is in my top 5 gyms in America. Right up there with Powerhouse Gym (in Tampa) and Renegade Gym in Jersey. Other great gyms

On Sunday morning at the gym, I watched a girl do two separate weighted side bend type exercises, as well as crunches and V-ups.   You probably couldn't pick four worse exercises for six-pack abs and a flat stomach. In contrast, my abs, seen all over the world (and even 'stolen' by magazines and equipment companies to promote their products) are chiseled with stability ball
