wamin' up...

Hey y'all,

Wanted to tell you about something I've
been doing in my workouts for a while now,
and thought y'all could use, too.

At the beginning of each workout (it doesn't
matter what kind of workout - strength
training, conditioning, skills work, whatever),
do the following little GPP warm-up routine:

-Jumping Jacks x 30 secs
-Skiers x 30 secs
-Rest x 30 secs
*Repeat x 10

(FYI - 'Skiers' are an exercise almost identical
to Jumping Jacks, only instead of your arms
and legs moving side to side, the move front
to back...imagine the motions a cross-country
skier would go through...and do that in place.)

If it seems easy, that's because it is. It's not
designed to be a tough workout. Rather, it's
a great way to some extra work in, get your body
warmed up, and maybe even start breaking a
sweat.

By the time you're ready to jump into your
workout, you're good to go!

The great thing about this is it's simplicity - no
equipment needed, no large area needed. All
you need is a few feet of open space. Set your
workout timer, and go.

(By the way - if you don't have a good workout
timer, let me suggest the Gymboss. It's a kickass
little unit, it's easy to carry around, it's functional,
and best of all, it's cheap. See more here:

This little GPP warmup will probably be pretty easy
for you, but will get even easier after doing it for
a week or two.

When it does, up the ante some - do two rounds before
resting for 30 secs. Then do three. Then four. Then five.

By that point, drop back down to two rounds, but toss in
a couple harder exercises. An example might look this:

-Burpees x 30 secs
-Jumping Jacks x 30 secs
-Mountain Climbers x 30 secs
-Skiers x 30 secs
-Rest x 30 secs
*Repeat x 5

If you have a day where you're not scheduled to get a
workout in, go ahead and do this little routine, anyway. It
won't be hard, shouldn't drain your recovery, and will be a
good way to get a little extra work in. And you can even
go to bed that night knowing you got something accomplished
for the day! ;-)

Try out this little program for a couple-three weeks, and let
me know how it goes!

PS - As good as this little warmup is, it's not going to be enough
for a full workout. If this is all you'll be doing b/c you don't
have a workout program you're sticking to right now, then
do yourself a favor and run - don't walk - to

Are you a wannabe?

Hey y'all,

Got an email this weekend from another
satisfied customer - Jacob.

Jacob had a problem, though.

More or less, Jacob was...well....not quite
sure how to put this....

Jacob was a wannabe.

See, Jacob isn't actually a fighter. He's a
big fan of MMA, and has watched for
years.

Unlike some of the 'armchair quarterbacks'
that think they know MMA, Jacob has a
great understanding of the sport, and has
a real appreciation for what pro MMAists
do. Jacob has been an athlete most of his
life, he just isn't in a position to train right
now.

Since Jacob is pretty well-versed in the needs
of MMA, and has an athlete's background,
he naturally knew the awesome physical
needs of MMA. That's why he was so
pumped to find a specific workout that
covered the so many different physical
needs of MMA.

I loved getting Jacob's email.

Not everybody can be a fighter, or is in a
position to do a lot of MMA training. But
that should never stop ANYBODY from wanting
awesome strength, conditioning, endurance, cardio,
and work capacity.

Jacob did. And he knew that a great MMA Workout
Program was the way to get there.

And, well, I'm proud to say that Jacob - a regular
guy like me and you - is using the Working Class MMA
Workout Program - Championship Edition to do it.

Most of the time, it's an insult to be considered a
wannabe.

Picking this kind of training is not one of those times.

If you're a wannabe too, then head to http://www.workingclassfitness.com
and get in on the workout that's, for once, making the
'real thing' jealous of the wannabes...not the other way
around!

And it's freakin' CHEAP, man...http://www.workingclassfitness.com
