Mount Washington Climb New Hampshire – November 21, 2009

So this past Sunday I was led by one of my brothers for life, Captain Michael Signori, up to the summit of Mount Washington in New Hampshire.

Mount Washington is the largest peak in the northeastern region of the United States.

The peak is 6,288 feet above sea level (1.19 miles).

The entire round trip is about 8.1 miles from the base we began at off rt. 302.

We made it up in 3 hours and 2 minutes. Came down in equal time. We couldve come down faster, but, unfortunately, I went up in really unsupportive boots, eventually injuring my MCL on my right leg, and later hurting my ligaments in my left leg.

Each step back down was excruciating. I swallowed 3500mg of ibuprofen at the summit hoping it would help… not sure it did in the immediate sense 🙂

Below is some fun footage of the climb during the last 30 minutes upward. This was probably some of the easiest parts of the climb, sorta. Although, the harder parts I couldn’t hold a camera and pull simultaneously so… those weren’t depicted.

I look forward to this climb again, or better yet, the more challenging routes, like the ravine.

Marshfield Year One Anniversary, Belley Fitness

Yesterday was a landmark day for Robert Belley Fitness studio in Marshfield:

It was our 1 Year Anniversary!!!

I’d like to take this moment to thank all of you for training at our private family studio. It’s been a fun and growth year for us, and most importantly, it’s been a year of bonding and continued support for everyone, from everyone.

What I think about the most, in my spare time, when reflecting on the Marshfield studio, is how people from different walks of life have come together, who may not have bonded elsewhere, have. It warms my heart to see women encouraging each other, advanced or beginner, to help each other out with recipes, workouts, fashion/shopping tips (LOL) and more.

When people bond, I feel the studio has made a greater impact. For me, it’s personally not about the numbers, or the trend, or even the financials… it’s about the experience.

The past couple of weeks I’ve had the opportunity to workout at a city gym, and it reminds each time, why I’m ECSTATIC TO NOT BE ONE OF THOSE ESTABLISHMENTS. It’s stale, non-inviting, outdated, and non-communal. Despite their best efforts, it’s not personable.

For me, personal training IS PERSONAL. Even in boot camps it’s still personal.

So, I just want to thank all of you who have come through our doors the first year of enlightenment, and had the opportunity to smile and laugh while achieving your goals.

You all make me a better person.

Without any of you, I wouldn’t have this opportunity. And some have given me this precise-opportunity those first few weeks who deserve complete recognition: Captain Michael Signori (with Tanya Gillick’s helping too), Mom, my brother Mike, Jim, Hai Ngyuen, Richard Vaughn, the ‘core’ first girls of Robert Belley Fitness studio in Marshfield (Patti N, Tara (K) B, Karen M, Melissa L, Joanne L, Tina M, Katie O and their children, husbands and fiancés), Dominic Riccarelli, Wayne ‘Buddy’ Richard and Bill Eckhardt. Of course, since the first couple weeks, many and many and many have been just as integral, although, the list would be forever long 

But please know, in my heart, some of you hold the deepest love, indebted admiration, and respect for your talents and beauty.

As I’ve said in many emails and correspondences of text and written notes/letters, Robert Belley Fitness is the sum of all our energy, beauty and cohesiveness. WE ALL BRING SOMETHING SPECIAL TO THE STUDIO. It’s a second home, a place to feel comfortable, a haven of remarkable efforts and an escape from the lesser moments of the day, to laugh and share stories.

We are very much a family.

I thank you all for that.

I hope you all have a great Sunday, and I’ll send a more familiar newsletter later this week, with updates to help you progress.

Live the dream (LTD), 😉

Rob

Workout: Sexy Back for Strapless Dress

I don’t know many things sexier on a woman than a strapless dress or a dress with an open back.
The upper back is beautiful and when tight displays a total edge of confidence and strength in a woman… well at least to me.

When the rhomboids nestled between the shoulder blades are flat and you can see the spine line down toward the lower back I find that to be a woman who eats clean, takes her fitness to another level and totally thrives off feeling beautiful. It’s one of the hardest areas to reduce body fat. There’s no faking it there. Either you’ve done your work or you have some left to go.

But it’s one of the “truth points” as I like to call them of the body.

Areas where there is no denying whether or not the plan has been followed.

So in my adoration for the female back, I’m putting a workout down below that is also part of my In and Out Workouts series.

Incorporate this workout into your routine once a week, and engaged with a Fat Loss meal plan you’re back will be sexier than ever within weeks.

FEMALE SEXYBACK WORKOUT
… after a thorough dynamic warm up

A1) Face Pulls ~ 15 reps
A2) Inverted/Bodyweight Row ~ 12 reps
A3) Single Leg Burpees ~ 20 seconds per leg
Repeat this circuit after 30 seconds of rest 3 times

B1) Single Arm, Single Leg Dumbbell Row ~ 8 reps per arm
B2) Flings ~ 40 seconds
(like jumping jacks but arms move horizontally/across body, and feet crisscross)
…use a light band if possible
B3) Kettlebell Swings ~ 12 reps
… or Dumbbell Swings if Kettlebells not near
… USE A HEAVIER WEIGHT
Repeat this grouping after 30 seconds of rest 3 times.

Implement this Female Sexy Back workout into your training schedule and you’ll begin shaping and firming a sexy and stunning upper back. Once you engage in ‘sexy upper back’ you’ll never wear another dress with a strap again. Entice eyes… you’ll find it motivating.

Two Hard Workouts

Yesterday I had two hard workouts!

Quick, but tough workouts.

They followed in the frame of my In and Out Workouts.

Each lasted just under 15 minutes.

The first, was the Challenge at the studio around 1pm… the first attempt at it.. took me 8:42. But it was 8:42 of hell! You can see a sneak peek of the challenge by clicking here.

Or viewing below:

The second, was my DelMonte inspired workout I’m following about 5pm.

Here’s what I did:

DB Incline Press x 4 reps
Single Leg Front Squat x 4 reps
One Arm DB Row x 4 reps

It was great.

I did 5 sets of the above exercises.

I really dig front squats and single leg squats over back squats with a traditional barbell… especially since I’ve suffered traumatic back injuries in my mid-teens and early twenties.

If I had a safety squat bar I’d probably do them more, but I do just fine with unilateral training. Besides, we walk and run on one leg at a time, why not train on one leg at a time?

Today’s workouts have been consisting of lots of foam rolling and dynamic stretching to loosen everything back up.

If you’re not paying attention to your soft tissue quality, I’d advise you do so soon. It’s highly important, especially if you want to recover faster from your training sessions.

Keep your head up, and don’t forget to nail it in your own sessions 😉

PS – I’m very proud of Gail at the studio! She had a great first month of losing a number of inches at the studio 🙂 Very proud of her!
