January 28, 2012 Train Like a Warrior, Train Like a Fighter You don't need to be a Marine, or a professional Mixed Martial Arts Fighter, in order to train like one. It's pretty much fact, that Marines and MMA fighters, are some of the most strong, conditioned, and disciplined, warriors/ athletes in the world. The Marine needs to be physically strong, mentally tough, conditioned for days, and as disciplined as humanly possible. The extreme conditions in which they train, are as demanding as possible, to prepare for whatever challenges the world throws at them. The MMA fighter, knows that a cage door will soon close behind him, and he will be alone in a cage, with an adversary whose only goal is to take him out. The amount of physical preparation (strength and conditioning, sparring, wrestling, boxing, BJJ, cardio training), is unmatched in the world of sports. Individuals from all walks of life, (Housewives, weekend warriors, high school athletes, college athletes, proffessional athletes, working moms, businessmen, older adults), can all benefit, and learn some take home points from these extreme training warriors. The level of physical fitness, the dedication to training, the discipline to tranform their body, the healthy diets, the mental focus, the bravery, the unbreakable human spirit, can be attributes that any human can possess. Now everyone doesn't need to be punched in the face, or dodge bullets, but they can lift heavy weights, increase strength endurance, run sprints, master bodyweight training, jump higher, run faster, improve balance, coordination, reflexes, and overall speed. With the speedbumps that life throws at us, each and every day, it is all about being mentally and physically prepared, for whatever the combat is, that makes up the existence of your daily regimen. And maybe you can learn some self defense, and ways to kick some ass, along the way. Here at Peak Physique Personal Training Center, in Rockland County, we train everyone who walks through the door, to be prepared for whatever obstacles life may throw at them. we all are on an intense training program, yet everyone is at their own pace, doing what works for them. Everyone is different, to the training approach may be different from person to person, but in the end, they are all training like Warriors. It is all about scientific exercise application, as intense as posssible, while keeping exercise safety and injury prevention as a top priority. Here are a few examples: The NYC metal worker- He was on a scaffold in New York City, working on a building, on the 19th floor, when some equipment malfunctioned, and he slid down the side. He was able to grab and hold on to the edge of the scaffold, with one hand, preventing him from plummeting to his death. He specifically said, if it weren't for the real world strength and conditioning training at Peak Physique, that he would have been a pancake on the pavement of NYC. The Stock Exchange Exec.- He came to us to exercise after a minor heart attack, upon orders from his doctor, to start a strict exercise training regimen. Within 4 months, after his follow up visit, the doctor told him he was heathier now at 55, than when he was 35. Lower Blood pressure through exercise and diet, lower cholesterol through exercise and diet, lower blood sugar through exercise and diet, lower body fat through exercise and diet, build more muscles through exercise and diet. You get the point. The working Mom- She is at the grocery store with her husband, loading the car. He is having trouble lifting some cases of drinks and bags, complaining of lower back pain, as she just walks by and swoops them up with almost superhuman strength and confidence. Simple story, intense training and exrcise, can translate into real world functional strength. In conclusion, we are all warriors, everyday life is a war, and the planet earth is our battlefield. Training like a Marine/ MMA fighter, can benefit everyone, in one way or another, and help leading towards a strong healthy life, destroying any enemy in your path. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- January 20, 2012 Free Boxing Classes / Boot Camp Class every week Last night we had another successful Free Boxing class, her at Peak Physique Personal Training Center.

It is really just based on numbers, calories in/ calories out, expending more than you ingest, counting calories, nutrient breakdown, etc.... So something so simple, can in reality, become extremely difficult. So if you follow the strict guidelines, it is very simple to lose (or gain), weight. It is obviously not so easy for some people to follow simple rules when it comes to dieting and nutrition. We know that proper diet/ nutrition, is more than half the battle, when it comes to our weight loss goals. You cant out train a bad diet. I will repeat it, You Cant Out Train a Bad Diet. This means no matter how hard you are running on the treadmill, no matter how long you stay on those cardio machines, no matter how much weight training you are doing, no matter how many group exercise classes you are taking, if you are not eating properly, you will not reach your weight loss goals. This holds true for weight gain, and building muscle as well. If you arent fueling the machine with the right fuel, you will not get the right results. Abs are built in the kitchen, not the gym. OK, I said this was supposed to simple, this is all getting very complicated, with so much to think about. One simple sentence can simplify it all, and make the battle so much easier. If you are trying to lose weight, you should never be full, and if you are trying to gain weight, you should never be hungry. With this SIMPLE statement, you are well on your way to your goals in the kitchen. Mix this with some DISCIPLINE, and some common sense, and weight loss really is simple. Common sense means, you actually know what you are eating is bad, but you eat it anyway. You know its bad, put it down, pick a better choice. Common Sense. Quick recap of how simple it can be to Lose weight (gain weight): -Abs are built in the kitchen, not the gym -You cant out train a bad diet -If you want to lose weight, you should never be full -If you want to gain weight, you should never be hungry -Common Sense -Discipline -NO EXCUSES = SIMPLE ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- January, 5 2012 Weight Loss Challenge 2012 We will be starting the next weight Loss Challenge within the next 2 weeks. There is no better time to lose weight, and transform your body and lifestyle. The Holidays are over, and its time to get back on track with your fitness based goals for the new year.

There also might be surprise weigh ins, at the personal trainer's discretion. It will only be $30 as an initial investment, with all the cash going directly to th winners.

Pre- registration is starting now, so get in and lose those few extra pounds for good, and have fun while doing it. (And Win some Cash) Previous winners have lost 30, 50, and even 80 pounds. Of course this require a combination of proper exercise, diet, and nutrition. Eating healthy, is more than half the battle. Our trainers can set you up with a free nutritional consultation, to ensure you are eating right, in order to reach your goals. We don’t really believe in actual diets, for the most part. It's all about making lifestyle changes that will last, and create a new and improved you. So when we say diet, it is referring to eating healthy, getting all the appropriate nutrient requirements, and not exceeding your daily calorie limit. It's not referring to some fast weight loss diet, that will probably be ineffective. We are all about taking the weight off the right way, and keeping it off forever. In addition to the diet and nutrition, physical training in just as important. All of our Biggest Loser, previous winners, have been enrolled in either our Personal Training program, Bootcamp classes, or Boxing/ Kickboxing classes.

No matter where you travel, there is no excuse for poor eating habits. There are always healthy food choices, no matter where you travel, i if there isnt, prepare ahead of time. Of course I ate in many restaurants, but there are always healthy options. I never missed a meal, was never hungry, and never dehydrated. I always ingested enough protein to maintain, and even build lean muscle. I was always well fuled for every grueling training session in the gym. Preparation is the key to success, no matter what the situation. Herbalife nutritional supplements, of course, was the secret to my success, and survival. I had my cookies and cream healthy meal, with personalized protein powder, as my small meal replacements. I was always fueled and hydrated with my Herbalife 24 Hydrate, and H30. My in between meal snacks were either the protein beverage mix, or the protein bars. My energy levels were always elevated, especially during my grueling workouts, with Liftoff. Less than 5 pounds added to my luggage, and I was ensured healthy, proper nutrition, while still improving towards my health and fitness training related goals. No matter what your goals, Lose weight, build muscle, training for a specific sport, general health and fitness, there are never any excuses for not executing a solid nutritional program. There are always healthy food options out there, and always convenient, natural supplements like Herbalife, that can assist you in your daily nutritional requirements. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Warrior Weekend with Smash Evans What an amazing weekend of fights, including MMA, Boxing, Jiu jitsu, Muay Thai Kickboxing, grappling, and submission fighting. There were tons of punches, crazy kicks, takedowns, submissions, knockouts, and Tapouts. When it comes to fighting, all disciplines and styles were on display throughout the weekend. Peak Physique/ AFS trained Fighter, Rashid Evans, Fought in a Boxing match on Sat night, then a pro rules MMA fight on Sunday, about 18 hours later. Friday night the Boxing contest was declared a draw, after 3 intense rounds of pugilistic combat. Both fighters were trading bombs at an exhausting pace, for the duration of the 3 round contest. Both fighters were exhausted, but neither would crumble under the pressure, after both warriors were giving just a many punches as they were taking. After the judges couldnt declare a clear winner after 3 rounds of Boxing, they offered each fighter the chance to fight one more minute to declare a clear cut winner. Rashid, exhausted at this point, put his boxing gloves back on, mouthpiece back in, and put his hands up. His opponent, declined the offer for 1 extra minute of Boxing with Smash, as he was content with the draw, and it was declared as such. Saturday afternoon was the professional rules MMA fight, where Rashid displayed his ever evolving ground game, en route to a TKO victory, via Tapout due to strikes. He actually made a slick submission attempt for a rear naked choke, and showed adversity from the bottom position, with an improving defensive guard. Once free, he was too much to handle, with ferocious ground and pound, until his tough and game opponent was forced to tap, to avoid any further punishment. Not too many fighters are willing to fight at all, let alone twice in 2 days, in two different states, in two different fighting disciplines. This was made possible from intense Strength and Conditioning training at Peak Physique training center, in Spring Valley, NY, as well as all the fight training with Head trainer Phil Dunlap, at Advanced Fighting Systems, in Mahwah, NJ. Rashid's was involved in a strict and intense, MMA and Boxing, strength and conditioning program, focusing on muscular endurance, cardio, explosiveness, speed and agility, as well as many other training techniques. Battling ropes, kettlebells, weightlifting circuit training, interval training, pushing sleds, bodyweight training, cardio circuits, speed, agility, balance, and flexibility, all pieces to the puzzle. Dedication, Discipline, Desire...the key attributes to become a more complete fighter, on his quest to improve and grow, on his quest for greatness in the fighting world. Congratulations to Rashid, on what can only be explained, as a Warriors Weekend. Steve Eckert Peak Physique Training Center 230 W. Rt 59, Spring Valley, NY www.PeakPhysiquePT1.com **as referenced in article above: Phil Dunlap Advanced Fighting Systems Mahwah, NJ www.Thaing.net ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dec 5, 2011 There are no excuses for not working out. We are overseas in Poland, and had no access to a gym today, so we worked out in the hallway of the apartment building we were staying in. We are staying on the ninth floor, so running hundreds of flights of stairs, thats a built in cardio machine, better than any treadmill or eliptical machine you might jump on and spin around in circles like a Hamster. My travel exercise equipment included a TRX (Bodyweight suspension training system), and a set of Heavy Duty resistance bands. Thats all we needed, along with bodyweight, 10 flights of stairs, a little motivation and imagination. Workout consisted of Pushups, pullups, TRX rows, trx single leg squats, TRX single leg reverse jumping Lunges, TRX knee tucks, pushups, pike ups, Band chest press, rows, pullovers, biceps, triceps, Staircase sprints, Circuit runs, and laps of carrying heavy objects. All together the training session took maybe 45 munutes, and used minimal equipment. I still stick to my old saying "You can get a complete total body workout in an empty elevator", and we pretty much proved that. We added some fitness training photos on the site and Facebook. NO EXCUSES !!!!!!!!!!!!! |
