CST Bodyweight Workout – How to beat fat “inch by inch”
By Adam Steer
of Bodyweight Blueprint
This time we’re featuring another full workout that you can do anytime and in any open space. If you are an experienced fitness enthusiast, this innovative arrangement of Circular Strength Training® bodyweight exercises is just what you need to break out of humdrum exercise routine and have some fun in the great outdoors.
The whole workout can be done in about 20 minutes, including warm-up and cool-down. And it is a great fat burner. It works your entire body in concerted effort and creates a “metabolic disturbance” that will keep you burning fat for hours, even after you stop exercising.
The components are the CST Inchworm (which you’ll discover in the video), the CST Quad Squat and the CST Trinity Jump Squat

Kick Workplaces into Shape and Strengthen Your Bottom Line
By: Trina Gray
Health care costs are soaring. Businesses are making cutbacks in our challenged economy. Certainly, this is not good news. Now’s our chance; fitness professionals can be a part of the solution. Our nation needs preventative medicine and inspiration for healthier living. We can deliver.
As fitness professionals, we can kick businesses into shape with simple, smart corporate fitness challenges. In doing so, we will strengthen their bottom line by helping reduce health care costs and employee absenteeism and improve workplace productivity and staff morale. We can strengthen our bottom line with new program revenue and long-term clients. It is a win-win situation. Read on for reasons to get into the corporate wellness game.
The Tangibles and Intangibles
Corporate fitness challenges impact the workplace, friends and family. We can support people in living healthy, eating healthy and talking healthy. As momentum builds, people become excited about making lifestyle changes.
Over the course of six weeks, we can help the average person lose10 to 12 pounds and 8 to 10 inches. Beyond the numbers, we can inspire people to adopt new habits of better eating and increased physical activity. As a result, employers reap the benefit of a happier team, improved collegiality, better energy and focus at work and reduced health risks. We can even help change the dialogue around the water cooler — from complaints to camaraderie.
An Ounce of Prevention
Recent research by the Wellness Councils of America (WELCOA) shows that 80 percent of health care dollars are spent on diseases that are almost entirely preventable by diet and exercise alone. In response, government and businesses alike are turning their focus to preventative measures.
Motivate the Masses
Only 15 percent of the nation’s workforce reports to being active on a regular basis. However, another 63 percent of our workforce desires to be active, but sites lack of time or resources as a reason not to be fit. We can affect this large majority. We can motivate sedentary people to be active if we make a personal connection and offer motivation.
Proof in the Numbers
A recent study of General Motors employees suggests a staggering reality. Motivating people who are currently inactive to exercise just 20 minutes two days per week was shown to reduce health care costs, including doctor’s visits and prescription costs by $250.00 per year. Most people think that a wellness program needs to be “all or nothing.” But studies continue to show that something is better than nothing! WELCOA research also supports that employers can expect a return on investment of $3.00 for every $1.00 spent.
Take Action
As fitness professionals, we can help improve the health of our communities by inspiring behavioral change. Yes, we help people lose weight and gain strength, but we make our greatest impact empowering them to make positive changes that fit their lives. We help them find activities and foods that fuel their bodies for success. We offer an opportunity for healthier living.
We must be willing to change our business models and sharpen our skills to thrive. The fitness programming that brought us here, is not what is going to take us into the future. Right now, businesses need help staying lean in our economy and getting fit. We can help. If done well, we can position ourselves as problem solvers and expert advisers.

Out Of The Gym And Into The Jungle
Adam Steer
Here in Quebec the Winters are long and cold. So when the air turns warm and the sunshine gains in strength, I’m loath to be indoors for my training. Right now my favorite place to train is in a park or any other outdoor space that happens to be available.
And whether I’m giving a bootcamp style class, or I’ve just stopped off at the park for my own training before heading to the gym for a day of clients, my weapon of choice is almost always bodyweight exercise. There’s this misconception that you have to lug a bunch of gear around if you want to train outside. But I’ve met very few people who have true mastery over their own body in space, so there’s tons to be done with bodyweight training only!
There’s also this notion that bodyweight exercise is somehow boring – that it lacks variation. I really can’t figure out how this one evolved. I can only think of so many ways to vary a bench press, but the variety you can tap into through moving your own body in space is almost limitless, especially using the principles of Circular Strength Training bodyweight exercise. One of our most powerful tools for exercise creation is a concept called the 6 Degrees of Freedom.It allows us to move beyond tri-planar movement in order to take the body through every conceivable combination of human movement potential.
And the last myth that must be busted is that you can’t get enough challenge from bodyweight exercise. When I show up for a bootcamp class without any equipment in tow, that’s when my clients feel the most apprehension. Why? They know it is going to be tough!
Here’s a little sample for you. Next time you drive by your favorite park, stop for a quick and efficient workout that takes your body through its paces and all it’s 6 Degrees of Freedom.
Jungle Love Workout http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GQiG5UPk5PU Theme music
