hi ,
i signed up for the visual impact course !
why isnt 'non competing supersets' used , especially in the 2&3 phases. i read the comment from Rusty that this is a good summer workout, saving time etc, but not recommended all year round. is this because the squeezing and irradiation qualities will suffer without rest ?

thanks Phil

Great article! My personal training clients love training outdoors, they say they feel better and look forward to training than training indoors.

I'm naturally a morning person so waking up all summer to run at 5 a.m. has been so easy for me. The mornings are quiet and cool too. I'm done with my workout by 6 a.m. I'm going to miss running when the snow comes in another couple of months. I used to roll my eyes at people who exercised outdoors because I didn't really think it was exercise unless you were inside at a gym on a machine but this summer I decided to "think outside the box". Note to self: move to a warmer climate.

Great post, Rusty.

I don't mind the gym in the summer, NYC is sweltering!

If you're doing a high intensity workout routine and it is scorching hot outside, staying indoors with the A/C on might be the best bet.

I'm loving these tips! The summer is the perfect time to take advantage of working out outdoors and not spending so much time at the gym. I'm a huge advocate of taking a run on the beach or going for a hike with friends. Why not switch up your routine?

Great article with intuitive ways to stay in shape. Engaging in outdoor activities not only allows for an excellent workout, but it is also entertaining to the mind! I've encountered numerous people, who burn more calories doing similar outdoors activities as opposed to the "normal" gym routine, without even noticing their intensity. At http://www.virtualworldfitness.net/blog we admire the commitment to fitness and health.

I totally agree! I googled this to see if I was the only one who slacked off during the summer months. Its not only that I want to enjoy the summer, I usually feel drained in the summer because of the heat, and to walk out of the gym sweaty in 100 degree weather is no fun…

Great article, Summer is a great time to get fit and do it in the great outdoors, but always good to get a jump start in the winter so by summer time you are even more fit to get a better beach body!
Cheers

Great and timely post Rusty. I'm in total agreement. Reduce time between sets + Increase intensity = Less Time Working Out

Summer workouts are meant to be fun. I would like to incorporate your philosophies into my training program. I would like to workout 6 days per week without overtraining. I am thinking along the line of upper body 3 days (body weight) and lower body 3 days HIIT sprints). My main goal is to lower my BF. I want to lose 15 pounds in 3 months is that realistic?

Great post Rusty. I had to chime cuz even here in Naples…it's still summer for us and the weather and balmy breezes are awesome!!

It must be natural for people here….cuz the gyms are empty after 10 am. Early workouts and then time for play and cold beers

I like to combine both in the summer…my new love; SUP (stand up paddle boarding) great full body workout, and you're out in the sun, dolphins swimming underneath you…it's incredible.

You did scare me with this post…only 25 summers left? I really don't like that thought. Leaving the office early on that note!

Cheers and hope all is well with you. Enjoy that summer vacation.
One tip, book yourself a nice bed and breakfast in Carmel. They are some of the best in the country, or yet even better, go ahead and splurge big and take the misses for one or two night stay in Big Sur's Post ranch. It's my favorite http://www.postranchinn.com It's a once in a life time….trust me (and I've traveled a good amount in my life)
