Eddie Albert, Fitness Expert and Personal Trainer

Renowned NJ personal trainer, Eddie Albert of Ultimate Fitness in Monmouth County, is now offering a

Kettlebell personal training boot camp.  The kettlebell boot camp classes are 30 minutes in length and are $40.00 per session.  Up to two people can sign up for the personal training boot camp and split the cost (in-home kettlebell training is available in Monmouth County at an additional cost).

Kettlebell training is one of the most effective ways to burn a massive amount of calories and sculpt lean, long muscles.  The American Council on Exercise estimates that kettlebell training can burn up to 1,200 calories per hour.

Eddie is a fan of kettlebell training for women especially.  “Because kettlebell movements are designed to work the body aerobically and an anaerobically, kettlebell exercisers have long, defined muscles.  Kettlebell training does NOT build bulky, thick muscles.”

Benefits of Kettlebell Training

Total body conditioning: Kettlebell exercises are meant to work your entire body.  While it may seem that you are really working your shoulders or legs, kettlebell exercises call on nearly every muscle in your body to perform a movement.  This is unprecedented fat burning and muscle sculpting at its finest.

More results, less time: Because each kettlebell exercise works multiple muscles, you don’t need to spend hours in the gym.  Even a 30 minute power workout will get you incredible results.

Lean muscle development: Because kettlebell exercises use light weight with repeated repetitions in a fast and concise movement, kettlebell exercises have lean, sculpted bodies.  Kettlebell exercises are NOT used to develop bulky or thick muscles.  This is particularly appealing to women.

Major calorie burning:  The American Council on Exercise estimates that Kettlebell workouts burn approximately 20 calories per minute, that’s 1,200 calories an hour!  To burn that many calories, you would need to run a 6 minute mile for about 20 minutes straight!

 The incline barbell chest press is the perfect exercise to make the top portion of your chest thick. When performing this exercise, you want to have the maximum stretch as you lower the bar, lowering the bar all the way to your chest.  Make sure to achieve maximum contraction by squeezing your pec muscles as you push the bar back up.  This will give you complete muscle fatigue which will provide maximum growth for your chest. 

When setting up to perform this exercise, start by lying flat on the bench then adjust yourself to the proper position. The only two parts of your back that should rest on the bench are the rear of your shoulders and your glutes.

Then, grip the bar.  Place your hands far enough apart so that when the bar touches your chest, your forearms will be perpendicular to the ground. The bar should touch about a 1/2 inch below your clavical. In this position, you are at maximum stretch.

When pressing the bar to the top, or the contraction portion of the exercise, always squeeze your elbows up and toward an intersection point approximately 8-10in above your chest.  Don’t push your arms straight up.  Focus on squeezing your arms above that intersection above your chest.

When you push your arms straight up without squeezing over that central point on your chest, you run the risk of inuring your elbows and placing undue stress on the tendons and ligaments of the shoulders and elbows. By focusing on a central point over your chest and squeezing, you will feel more chest involvement rather than shoulders and triceps.

Let’s start with the bench press exercise. To many times I seen men and women performing this exercise incorrectly.  The key is in the range of motion…and that is often the first thing I see people doing wrong.

When performing the bench press exercise with a straight bar, you should always complete a full range of motion, bringing the bar all the way back down to your chest. The reason for this is so you get maximum stretch and a full contraction, this encourages a complete breakdown of muscle fiber so you can stimulate growth.

In order to get maximum growth you need to rest the empty bar on your chest, while it’s resting there you forearm should be at a ninety degree angle or perpendicular to the floor. This will create maximum stretch in the pecs and place the least amount of stress on the elbows and the shoulders.  If your forearms are any further apart it will not encourage proper pec development, it will just add more stress on the wrist, elbow and shoulder joints. It may also cause rotator cuff problems.

Bench correctly and be injury free while achieving thick, full pec development.

The thought that lingers in the minds of the mindless is that exercise is for those who want to be built or buff. There are so many benefits to exercise that you have to be a little on the ignorant side not to want to make it a part of your life.

The power of exercise can not only slow the aging process, but it can reverse something so crippling like osteoporosis which can be a crippling disease. It’s also been a benefit for all types of arthritis, high blood pressure, diabetes, poor circulation and MORE. Not to mention that it’s great for your heart and connective tissue.

With the few things that I just mentioned, should there even be a second thought about making exercise a part of your life?

If you’re having trouble getting started or understanding which foods are healthier than others, drop me a line.  A customized weight loss diet starts as low as just $6.00 per week.
