We were not exactly “sculpted” a few years ago.

I know, probably a pretty long time…

I’ve been thinking a lot recently about a few things along these lines (fitness, true health, etc.) and I wanted to share some of them this week.

I feel like it’s my responsibility to share this information because, as you know, I do care about your wellbeing and I think that many experts out there are doing you a dis-service.

I’ve had quite a few interesting years dealing with my own health.

This year, since I have really begun to understand my own body (better than I have before) I have been experimenting again.

Don’t worry, there’s nothing to be concerned about this time. LOL!

Anyway, today, I want to share what I’ve experienced over the past 4-5 months because I think many of you may be selling yourself short when it comes to the whole health picture.

She demonstrated them one morning and since then we’ve been doing the 5 tibetan rites just about every morning.

These exercises are great for your flexibility, your lower back, digestion, and fitness.

Plus, they take – in total – about 5 minutes to do. (I know you have 5 minutes to do the five tibetan rites…)

Take a look…

Is cardio better than high intensity training or vice versa.

I have a different take on all of it. ;-)

And I also explain what’s going to happen to our cat Jonny 5 when we’re on the road.

Fitness for people who don’t like exercise?

I have to tell you, I wish I had a dollar for every person who told me they didn’t like to exercise. :-)

I’ll tell you what, we’re meant to move. It’s really our birthright.

We’re also meant to enjoy it…

See why…

Have you ever had a really good idea and it just didn’t work out the way you wanted it to?

How about taking 14 of my fitness colleagues (self proclaimed “meatheads”) to a vegetarian restuarant…

Sounds like it would make for some good TV… or at least until we hit some massive I-95 traffic and had to re-adjust our plans.

Go ahead and see what happens (it’s still good TV!)…

So this list was pretty easy to compile. I’ve been studying bodyweight exercises for years now and I always come back to these specific ones.

This list is actually a double top 10, since I do a beginner variation of each one for those of you who are working to build your strength. :-)

Take a look now…

If you do want an encyclopedia of dozens more, then check out Steve Cotter’s bodyweight exercise DVD set. It’s 3 DVD’s of bodyweight exercises from quite possibly the most amazing physical specimen on the planet. Steve is the real deal! (He’s worked with Mixed Martial artists to Pro Football players!)

There’s hardly a town or city in the world that doesn’t have at least some sort of swing or place for kids to play… so why can’t adults play there too? :-)

This show will give you 6 bodyweight exercises you can do with playground equipment as well as give you a great circuit suggestion that you can use this weekend to build strength and have some fun at the same time!

You won’t want to miss the last exercise at the end of the show… it might be the best kept fitness secret of all time… ;-)

And likely, if you’ve been watching the show the last 3 weeks, you’ve been putting together your nutrition and fitness toolboxes.

These are great when you’re in a bind for a quick workout or a raw food, vegan or whole food meal.

This toolbox is one that you’ll use everyday and get even better results as you use it more frequently.

(And guess what? It’s not hard to use at all… in fact it’s harder to NOT use it)

PS. A good number of renegade health fans have picked up the “Renegade Water Secrets” Program… Thanks if you have! This program is a collection of candid interviews with health and water experts to determine what types of systems and treatments are best for your own drinking water and beyond.

Well, you can do one of three things:

1. Not workout.

2. Workout and hate it.

3. Get started and see how far you go with it.

As you can imagine, I’m partial to one of these recommendations. Go ahead and find out what you can do on those days you just don’t want to get movin’…
