Recently, I just created a new 20-page training guide, as a way to help people out in understanding the basics of overall training. It is sort of like a minimum-catch-all for most fitness & sports training questions I get. I call it "The Mini-Max Method", doing the minimum amount of work first, to help you gain maximum results. My feelings are if you focus on the bare minimum's first, that core focus on getting the minimum done will help you hone your focus, as you tackle on other things with your training later on (i.e. step things up a notch!).
Its a 4-week jumpstart type of program to use. I ain't promising anything great from it, other than a greater focus on what you need to do with your training. I want to help you get your training in-line with what it really needs to accomplish, by focusing on the minimum's first.
Frankly, after hundreds of questions being asked to me through AllExperts.com, I was getting frustrated with seeing the same old themes pop-up in question form. So, I felt I needed to get a 'bare-bone-basics' type of guide out there, without getting all-too-crazy about the things like 'A Set is a desired number of repetitions to complete, a Repetition is lifting & lowering the weight one time." Frankly, most people KNOW what stuff to do, they are just misconceiving a lot of things in the training world. Things like "I'm walking 3 miles a day, every day, for the past 3 months and I'm not getting anywhere", those questions just bug me, because people aren't getting their facts right when it comes to overall health. You need to do more than walk 3 miles a day if you expect to make any spectacular success in weight loss. The "Walk the Pounds Away!" mindset just doesn't cut it for today's culture. The "my buddy did this one program and got HUGE!' mindset doesn't work for everyone, either.
So, I give you the basics on what you need in this guide, by telling you what to obtain & use for your training.
I recommend 3 things:
1. A stopwatch with a countdown timer
2. A jump rope
3. A kettlebell (or 2, or more if desired)
In my years of training, these 3 tools are really bare-bone basics for all-around fitness & sports performance work. You'd be amazed at how some athletes can't even jump rope decently until they practice it. And frankly, the kettlebell is the best all-around tool out there to use for strength, power, and endurance training methods.
Note that there is no need suggested to join a gym. (Past experiences I have seen in gyms, are that gyms don't work as a solution anyway for over 75% of the members who stop coming after a month. Yet, they still waste money on the hopes that they will return months later, even though the strategy of joining a gym has been a hopeless and failed one.)
All you need to follow is 6, 10-15 minute workouts a day, inside your very own home or backyard. Yes, it is that easy to do, if you have the ability to use those 3 basic things I mention. I lay it all out for you, what to do each day, giving you freedom to do as you wish depending on your own abilities.
I believe if people just focused on the bare-minimum basics, they might be a lot better off than trying to do bench presses & curls as their only workout in the gym, and my favorite response, 'some ab work at the end', too. You must squat, lunge, push, pull, bend & twist your body, people. Move it around, don't depend on your 'favorites' to do only, and expect to gain anything from it. I'll show you the basics on what to do with this guide.
Plus, its totally free, no email sign-ups to double-opt-in, no email newsletters to get flooded with. Just check my blog frequently for any updates I have, such as my announcement right here for you to download the "Mini-Max Method."

Enjoy!
Don't forget, if you have any questions about the Mini-Max Method e-book, you simply need to send me an email with your question.
