Hey! So I have an important announcement to make, and it involves the name of the biz, or bizzes, to be exact. Is “bizzes” a word? Oh well, it is now! Anywho, as many, many people know, the name of my training studio has always been “ELS Massage & Personal Training.” That’s what I named it 10 years ago, and that’s what I thought it would always be. Truth be told I always liked the name “The Body Shop,” ...

What’s up party people! We’re back again with another edition of Workout Wednesday and this week’s is going to be pretty sweet, but I’ll admit I am a bit biased. Have you been putting these workouts into practice or have you watched them while developing a cold sweat and said “Screw that!”? Give ‘em a try.  They’re simple to implement, don’t take much time and will deliver tremendous results. If you missed ...

Hey! Well, it’s Workout Wednesday and I have a couple more awesome ones for you. Last week was all about bodyweight workouts and 4-minute abs workouts, and this week is similar, but it’s not ALL bodyweight exercises. We’re going to go over a 10-minute workout along with another 4-minute abs workout. By the way, if you wanted to grab last week’s edition of Workout Wednesday, click here. This week’s workout, ...

Remember a couple days ago when I said I was going to share a new Challenge with you every Monday for the next 10-12 weeks? Well I’m also going to share a new workout, and video, with you every Wednesday. Today we have a couple doozies. The first is a 10-Minute Bodyweight Workout (or Fusion Cardio Workout). The second is a 4-Minute Abs Workout that you can add to the end of the workout, if you have time and ...

Do you like lunges? I have a love/hate relationship with the things, as do many of my clients, but I’m a mean and nasty trainer guy and make them do the nasty exercises anyway. They’re too dang good, but I agree that they do hurt.  They make your legs burn and shake, and if you do them enough, make it difficult to walk the next day and that’s a soreness that doesn’t really go away as your fitness increases. ...

It’s Boot Camp Workout Time!! Over the recent past I have been tinkering with my workout “flow” trying to make it the best and most effective use of your time and I think what I’ve been using lately is pretty sweet. I call it Fusion Conditioning and it’s a great way to burn a ton of calories in a little bit of time, while also working those trouble spots you love to hate, specifically the abs, arms and legs ...

Howdy! What's goin down in your world? I think it's time to discuss a little nutrition and, more specifically fruit. I’ve been noticing a scary trend over the past couple years, and it seems to have only gotten worse lately and that is scare tactics when it comes to diet. Scare tactics are nothing new. They’ve been around for quite some time. I don’t know if this is true or not, but I remember reading that ...

9 out of 10 new clients who come to boot camp exclaim to me “Ed!  I want to get rid of THIS!” while holding their arm up in the air swinging it back it back and forth as though they are going to turn it into a backyard swing for their little ones. I get it.  Wanting nicer arms is always in demand (even for us dudes). That’s why most of the boot camp workouts we do work your arms at least partially – while s ...

When I respond to emails, phone calls or do in-person consultations with ladies for boot camp, one of the most prevalent requests is to lose weight from the stomach. “Can you help me lose this flabby tummy?” they ask –and I love helping ladies get their goals met. I created this video to give you an example of a sweet little boot camp abs workout program.  It’s actually a sample from a larger program I crea ...

Hey! I don't know if you read "L Magzine," but this is an article that was in last month's issue...about me being in a different magazine. It's kinda weird - it's like Inception where there's the dream within a dream within a dream thing.  I'm posting an article on my blog that I wrote for a different publication, about me being in another publication.  Spooky stuff... Anyway, read on: Do you ever read “Wom ...
