I like the show Burn Notice on USA. It features Jeffrey Donovan as a former spy who has been black listed and has some good spills and thrills. Jeffrey is noticeably in great shape and so when I saw the article in Men’s Fitness, he actually made the cover, so hey kudos to you Jeffrey, well I had to check it out. His trainer who I have never met, nor have I ever met Jeffrey are featured in the article and the title is Jeffrey Donovan’s “Burn” Body Workout.  This is a 30 minute workout and it was listed as these exercises.

The Exercises:     

• 20 Pushups
• 5 Inside grip pullups
• 20 Diamond pushups
• 20 Resistance-band curls
• 20 Reverse lunges
• 5 Inside grip pullups
• 3 Minutes of shadow-boxing
• 30 scissor kicks
• 30 Abdominal flutter kicks
• 15 Abdominal V-ups

This is a great workout and if you notice it is ten exercises. The idea as with Shape Shifter Fitness is to go from one exercise to the next as fast as possible to keep your heart rate up, and as the trainer states go as slow as possible for maximum muscle tension and resistance. Since there are 10 exercises I am envisioning Jeffrey taking about maybe three minutes per exercise. I have to admit though as a fellow personal trainer I would like to think Jeffrey could start off with a bigger bang for the 30 minute buck and get in more then 20 push ups. There are also a few other exercises I think are needed but overall great workout. I think it would need to be changed up frequently though for Jeffrey to keep him challenged.

Even if you don’t, don’t worry. In home fitness trainers are becoming more and more popular these days virtually everywhere. Remember the goal though of having a personal trainer is to develop an active fitness lifestyle. When your fitness professional helps you reach your fitness goals, that is really only just the beginning.  You know I tell my client’s all the time, it is much more important what they are able to do on their own then when they are with me.

Well you might say that puts me out of work, but I say it is just a win win situation and time for me to move on and help someone else achieve their fitness goals.

I would like to take a minute to talk about equipment, and to my right this has to be one of the most inexpensive but effective home gyms available. If you are limited on space or money, these simple pieces of fitness equipment can make the difference. I use these items often with my client’s, first up the very versatile, Swiss ball or resistance ball. A great piece of equipment, light weight and you can perform many different exercises with this ball. Many of the exercises are great for your core development and will help you keep a nice toned body.

Next up is the resistance band. This light weight and functional piece of fitness equipment is great to take with you when you travel. I often will do some resistance exercises with it on various muscle groups at home as I am watching TV. This along with some light dumbbells and the Swiss ball and you have a functional home gym for less then $100.00 with the Yoga mat.

So there you have it, use the tools obey the rules and drop that weight once and for all. If you want an exciting result’s driven in home fitness training program, maybe you should consider hiring a professional to help you successfully build your fitness foundation and create your fitness program for you, then over time as you develop your fitness you can maintain your fitness all on your own and become your own fitness trainer.  If you live in Maryland and need some assistance reaching a fitness goal and getting started please contact Shape Shifter Fitness today.
