I have some big news to announce. I have been working hard on a revolutionary training idea that I believe will change the face of fitness. Literally. With the thousands of people I have trained in my career, I often hear the same excuses that rob people of being healthy, fit, and strong: “My workout […]
Push-ups are probably the most commonly used bodyweight strength callisthenic whether you are working with kids, adults, or pro athletes. They can be done anywhere and are highly effective for building upper body strength and endurance. However, in my work with kids, I am finding that fewer and fewer boys and girls are able to […]
I was about 15 years old the first time I felt overweight. It seemed to sort have snuck up on me, all of a sudden my body had changed and I was horrified. I remember trying on a pair of pants and feeling frantic because I was supposed to go to a church event and […]
As I write this, my 1RM on the deadlift is 385 lbs (stop snickering). My 3RM on weighted pull-ups is bodyweight plus 105 lbs. I would say my pull-up numbers are respectable, the deadlift numbers, not so much. I’m hoping a couple months of Jim Wendler’s “5/3/1 training program” will help. My goal? I would […]
Justin Russ, CPT I was having a conversation with one of the Fitness Quest 10 athletes the other day and one part in particular stood out to me. He looked me and my colleagues in the eyes and said, “This is why I train the way I do. This is why I become a demon […]
Just two weeks ago, someone asked me (for the umpteenth time) if I ever get mad. I responded to the question in my opening letter for our Fitness Quest 10 Insider telling about a particularly chaotic evening when our three young children clearly outnumbered me, and my wife, Melanie. I was totally frustrated that night. […]
“You can’t out-train a bad diet”. Without a doubt, it’s one of my all time favorite quotes. My clients hear it daily. I will not stop using it. It rings true and I need my clients to hear my voice in their head stating that phrase when they consider hitting up the fast food joint […]
Last month, I started a Get Serious Campaign when I realized that too many clients and friends talk about goals without taking action. I’m all about setting goals – even big, hairy, audacious goals – but a goal without action is like a boat without water. What’s the purpose? My friends, goals are meant to […]
By Jeff King, C.S.C.S., Fitness Quest 10 Being a member of training staff at Fitness Quest 10 I sit back and ponder what makes our athletic programs unique and stand out from others around the country? I began to think about my own training philosophy towards young kids and what I try to implement with […]
A navy battleship was in stormy waters when they spotted the light of what appeared to be another vessel in the distance. The ship’s captain made radio contact with orders for the other vessel to change their course. “Negative” was the reply. “We recommend you change your course 15 degrees south to avoid a collision.” […]
