Of the thousands to possibly millions of Korean exports we get here in the U.S., I would have never guessed a muscle up video to be one of the most useful of these items to us here at Street Workout. The muscle up has been a long standing exercise that believe it or not, not many can do. How many times have you been to the gym and seen someone doing them? Not often if not ever. This is why I think this video completely warrants it’s posting today. Along with it coming from one of the most unexpected places, also makes this film post worthy. This gentleman documents his instructions from the practice phase all the way until the performance stage. He shows different angles, the motions and grips involved and even exercises to make you perform this feat better and more competent. Check out the video and go to your local park and practice. Once this is mastered, you will be the center of attention doing your local outdoor work routine.
To quickly (in 500 words or less) sum up Steve Turano’s contribution to the fitness world and all the people he has touched since starting his long time Youtube series, would be doing him a great disservice. He has quietly cornered the market on informative fitness, lifestyle, exercise and nutritional videos on the internet. Accomplishing this all without ever leaving the comfort of the pesky chair he sits in on every video. Imagine that. I trainer people and sweat until I’m wearing a virtual wet-suit, and still don’t get half the enlightenment across that he manages in a two minute video. This is the bestowal he selflessly gives to all his viewers. Cut and dry, raw honest truth, with a chaser of knowledge equaling that of an Ivy League Professor. If this isn’t enough, he dares to offer even more! Now he is giving a limited membership away to his BodyPerformanceTV website. He is giving this to all of his Youtube subscribers. Now that I’ve laid it on thick enough to triple wax coat a suburban, really, thanks for all of the info you’ve given to us all Steve. The video below will give more details , so check it out and enjoy more free things from one of the internet’s great trainers.
The internet is filled with videos of so called experts giving advise on how to be fit. The new fad seems to be bodyweight workouts, and although I have been a long time proponent of this philosophy, it has become a Youtube phenomenon. The key is to sift through the quantity for the quality. Rudy Reyes is one of those gentlemen offering definite quality. A career martial artist and long time athlete turned actor and fitness expert, Rudy displays his own passionate bodyweight fitness video. After about one minute of the video, you can just sense the level of professionalism and experience he displays in this 10 minute workout. From the warm up to the beginners and advance techniques shown, he covers all bases. I will post more of his videos in the future due to his great knowledge base, so look forward to that. The video below is a perfect example of a bodyweight workout that can be done anywhere at any time. Use it if you need it and learn something from one of the great.
Pushing the envelope is what street workouts are all about. Just doing pull-ups and push-ups are not notable task any more. We want to see more. People want more tricks and feats than simple cookie cutter workouts that once dominated a past era. With the rise of Youtube, this demand has easily been met and over-indulged to some extent. So, to see something new is, is really something new. The Bar-barians have done just that in this video. And different factors to usual workout is what they seem to do best at times. They are on the forefront for pushing innovation. This video is exactly an example of that. The amazing thing is this is not a performance video but rather a regular workout day that they just happened to videotape. Yet is still remains a wonder to see. Check out the film short and you will understand why these gentlemen are at the top of the game right now.
While suffering from an occasional bout of insomnia and letting the late night TV lull me into a mindless trance, I’m almost amazed at the gall of these infomercials shown at these ungodly hours. The nerve to actually still make the claims that they do in 2009 is just astonishing. Abs in 6 minutes, the ab roller, the ab swivel chair, and my personal favorite, electro-abs. The cajones it takes to out right lie to people and mislead individuals into sales that they can never actually gain from is just unbelievable. As many times as I have heard the truth told to people about how washboard abs work, is a fraction compared to the machines that are invented that claim to give perfect abs with only 10 minutes of use a day. This video below will hopefully put an end to the confusion, but then again, knowing that the ab machine market is a multimillion dollar industry, it won’t change anything. Enjoy the video anyway if anyone is listening…..
