You Can Find A Way To Win

Written by Wiggy on August 15, 2011 – 9:11 am -

Ok, so it’s been a little while since I’ve done a blog post…actually just came back from a kickass week-long family vacation to the beach at the Outer Banks.

We didn’t do much – just kinda hung around and unwound.  The kids were in the pool all the time.  My boy and I went cruising once.  Oh, and we did go rent Jet Skis.  Holy cow, that’s more fun any one person should be allowed to have.

But there was one thing that I *did* make a conscious effort to do while I was there:

Keep getting workouts in.

See, I knew we were gonna be there for a week, and I knew we were gonna be having some good, big family meals, going out to eat, and that kinda thing.  While I wanted to have fun, I also didn’t wanna totally drop out off the earth as far as workouts go, nor did I wanna spend a week going backwards.

The question was how was I going to get my workouts in, and what was I going to do?

I knew I could get some swimming in since I was gonna be in the pool so much with the kids.  But since I was gonna be in the pool so much with the kids, I knew I wasn’t gonna be doing a whole lot of actual swimming.  (However, ‘Extreme Marco Polo’ was a helluva workout.  It’s kinda like Marco Polo meets Dodge Ball.  BEST.  GAME.  EVER!)

I knew the area we were staying in had a little gym at the clubhouse (where all the tennis courts and such were), but many times those things aren’t that great, so I didn’t wanna rely on that.  (Good thing, the weight room kinda left something to be desired…it did have a C2 rower though.  Love those things.)

So, I just planned ahead and brought my kettlebells.  And since I wasn’t sure exactly how many workouts I was gonna do, I just decided to pick a program that if I only did a few workouts from it, it’d still work well.

The “4-Week Minimalistic Blast” was the perfect fit.

We stayed at a pretty big house – 3 stories.  In the very front, there was a sort of concrete-tiled slab under the porch that led up to the main entrance.

PERFECT for my workouts.

On Monday, I did Day 1 of the Minimalistic Blast.  I went and used the C2 rower on Tuesday, took Wednesday off, then hit Days 2 and 3 on Thursday and Friday.

The awesome thing about this workout was literally, all I needed was a couple kettlebells.  (For those of you that didn’t know, the “4-Week Minimalistic Blast” has 4 different templates – you can do workouts using:

  • Barbells
  • Dumbbells
  • Kettlebells
  • Sandbags

This was perfect for me.  I didn’t have to worry about not having a place to train.  I didn’t have skip my workouts.  And it was super-easy to just toss a couple KBs in the back of the vehicle and go on.

(Of course, some of the fam did think I was a little crazy – “Dude, you’re working out?  We’re on VACATION!”)

But that’s what’s so awesome about the “4-Week Minimalistic Blast”.  You can literally do it almost anywhere, using almost anything.  Each workout is only 3 exercises, and is a total, full-body workout.  You’re getting strength work *AND* intense conditioning, not to mention you’re rotating it all each workout (what you did for strength work before, you’re doing for conditioning now, and vice versa).

If you’re super-hardcore, you can add a simple – but not easy – fourth exercise to the mix as your ‘finisher’.  I did this…and it smoked me.

My workouts were short (none of them took total over 45 mins if I remember correctly), and I did them in the morning before it got too hot out.  That way, I had my work done for the day and I could concentrate the rest of the day on having fun.

But the important part was that I still found a way to get the workouts in and still keep getting better – even when I was focusing on having fun.

Listen – the “4-Week Minimalistic Blast” just let me get massively kick-ass workouts in while I was on VACATION at the beach.  And with the four different templates, you can do those workouts pretty much anywhere you want.  Each is only 3 exercises (4 if you do the ‘finisher’).  And unlike other programs that are just ‘thrown together’ to make them ‘really hard’, these workouts have a logical order and progression to them.  It’s not haphazard by any means.

So that’s why I chose to do them while out, and will finish out the 4-weeks on the program.

My buddy Matt Bonafede (I’ve talked about him and his brother Aaron before) sent me an email not long ago after he and his brother Aaron had finally dove into the “4-Week Minimalistic Blast”:

“So Aaron and I just finished the first week of the Minimalistic Blast, that is one hard workout. The conditioning section has to be one of the worst things we have done in a long while. We both used 115 and it is pretty much non stop for the whole 20 min. Gotta love testing yourself.”

Since I had such an awesome time with the workouts while on vacation, I have decided to put the “4-Week Minimalistic Blast” back on sale for this week, and this week only.  You can get it now, but only until Friday night at midnight.  After that…well…bye bye for a while.

Remember, you get the 4 different templates names above, printable workout logs, a video FAQ, and other cool stuff as well.  You can even mix and match the programs, there are additional extra days you can add in that I show you how to use…I mean, this is really one kickass set of workouts.

You really should go get yours while you can.
