To call Muhammad Ali an athlete is the equivalent to calling Picasso an nice sketcher or a decent doodler. Ali was so much more than just an athlete. Even very evident in this video, the charm and the boisterous attitude was as much a part of his workout routine as cardio and hitting the punching bags. His vibrato sometimes outweighed his talent at times, but amazingly, he always seem to somehow silence his critics with an undeniable victory. These videos are like watching a piece of vintage history and should be inspiring to any person on a path seeking greatness.

Leaving here in Chicago has it’s advantages and it’s challenges. One of the major challenges is the weather. This winter has been one of the longest, most trying winters in a long time. I find myself actually daydreaming of the times in the summer when I was able to do my outdoor beach exercises. Getting a tan, seeing the beautiful water and beach goers, as well as the workout (almost forgot that), was really a treat. For those who don’t have a beach workout, this will gladly give you some ideas on how to enjoy the beach and get a good workout going. Use what you need and think of other exercises that could be done. Don’t forget to use the sand as part of a resistance workout as well.
At Street Workout, we focus on lots of different subcultures of working out. Of the many that we show, one of the most popular is the Martial Arts Fitness. It gets lots of feedback and captures the imagination of the viewer. I guess I wasn’t the only one that grew up watching Karate movies on Saturday mornings. This video however is not a Hollywood feature, but more like a fitness guide for martial art masters only. This video is very impressive. It features mostly bodyweight exercises but done with a martial arts flare. Who doesn’t want to see someone do push-ups on their thumbs? Well for those that do, enjoy this video, and tell us what you think.
