And the Best Resistance Bands are…
November 2, 2011 By Leave a Comment
I can’t unequivocally state that Bodylastics is the best resistance bands out there. That would be a ridiculous statement at best and disingenuous at worst (lying would the worst, actually - I suppose). That said, I think Bodylastics resistance bands are a great product. Still, I can’t say that Bodylastics is the best cuz I’ve [...]
The Truth About How Much Exercise You Really Need
November 20, 2010 By Leave a Comment
(This is really good stuff…Hyo) By Tom Venuto, What ever happened to, “Get some exercise every day because it’s good for you?” You hardly ever hear that anymore. Instead, we now hear about “Revolutionary, breakthroughs” that allow you to train once a week and presto! – overnight muscle and instant abs! We also hear advice [...]

September 9, 2010 By Leave a Comment
“Pumping Iron” came out mid-70 and burned the concept of bodybuilding into the minds of the general public like no other movie or event before it. Over 30 years have passed by, and yet the myths and misconceptions that still exist in the minds of the public are amazing. Back then it was, “don’t lift [...]

5 Worst Exercising Gimmicks on TV
August 27, 2010 By Leave a Comment
Fitness is straightforward. It’s even pretty simple. You take the 3 components of rest, nutrition, and exercise; mix it all up and you achieve your fitness goals. But one thing it is not- it is not easy. For most of us, there is no losing 50lbs in 3 months or gaining 40lbs of lean muscle [...]
Resistance Training – What I’ve Learned with Bodylastics
August 19, 2010 By Leave a Comment
Back when we first left Hawaii, I had been basically living at Gold’s. I was there at least 5 days a week, snacking on dumbbells and iron wheels. As we made plans to leave, I was not sure where we would end up. To make a long story short, I bought a couple of resistance [...]

July 12, 2010 By Leave a Comment
My hands are shaking, but I wanted to post a quick observation. I did my chest/back supersets, biceps/triceps superset workout. Threw in a couple of abs and obliques giant sets at the end. My arms, my back feel great. Anyways, I started my work out around 8pm and went for about an hour. I have [...]
Bodylastics After Two Months
June 24, 2010 By Leave a Comment
After a too long a break in blogging my experience with the Bodylastics Resistance Bands, I have returned with some new thoughts. I actually planned on writing this sooner but my computer went belly up and my laptop is at Super Geeks, with hopes of recovering all my files and data. Not good. But back [...]
Bodylastics Experiment Ends and the True Journey Begins
May 31, 2010 By Leave a Comment
Here is an earth shattering epiphany that came to me the other day; a month shy of 49, I “ain’t 20 no more.” Yes, I know; what else is new? Ah, how we delude ourselves? Wow, back when I was young, full of vim and vigor; getting back into shape was a breeze. After nearly [...]
Bodylastics Day 32 and Why I needed this.
May 20, 2010 By Leave a Comment
Today pretty much affirmed why you just can’t beat a decent home gym. Worked out Monday and rested yesterday with the intent to work out today. The challenge today, though, was time. I worked the late shift at my bill paying job and had to be in by 2pm. Because of some loose ends, I [...]
Serving up a pair of deep fried thighs or Bodylastics Day 28
May 14, 2010 By Leave a Comment
Wow, I don’t know how those guys do it. The ones that do 6 sets of squats, 5 sets of leg extensions, 4 sets of hacks, and maybe a few sets of lunges or leg press. I did 7 sets total of squats and lunges today and I nearly collapsed in agony. What sweet agony. [...]
Bodylastics Day 26 – Or how could I have missed a workout!
May 12, 2010 By Leave a Comment
Well, missed a day. Had to go from 9am to 11:30pm at my day job yesterday and couldn’t squeeze in a workout. But man, did I make up for it today. Must be because I work out in a small room with no ventilation. I was drenched in sweat. What a great feeling that is! [...]
Bodylastics Workout Day 23 and Feeling Great.
May 9, 2010 By Leave a Comment
Wow, been at this for nearly a month! Feeling great. Work out was a gut buster. As far as I am concern, lunges are the number one killer exercise, especially after squats. That was a gut check. I thought I’d post some pictures of me doing lat pulldowns and talk about how that when. I’m actually [...]

May 7, 2010 By Leave a Comment
No energy or desire to work out. Check that. Had I belonged to a gym, it would have been – no energy or desire to head to the gym. Had long night and not much sleep. This morning, it was my turn to watch the kids. In Hawaii, they have furlough Fridays as a means [...]
