The Fitness Guru

We visited 5 year old Guiliano Stroe a few months ago. He is a Romanian Strong….ummmmm……Boy. Here he is on the Romnian Mike Douglas Show showing incredible feats of strength and breaking the record for push ups without the use of feet (incredible feet-less push ups!)

I’m not sure what the adults are saying but I think its along the lines of “oh my, you frighten me.”

Enjoy!

Ummmmm…….

I am all in favor of physical fitness for children today. Heck, I am running the marathon this Sunday for Team for Kids, a charity dedicated to bringing fitness into public schools.

But I’m not sure about this five year old.

Guiliano Stroe is now in the record books for the fastest 10 meter handstand walk with a weighted ball between his legs.

So is he the hero of pre-K fitness? The victim of his pumped up dad (no doubt the disembodied voice doing all the counting in the video)? A wonderful salute to Darwinism? You decide……

The Fitness Guru is going to be offering FREE Pilates Mat Classes in Brooklyn Bridge Park every Tuesday evening through the Summer, beginning July 7th!! Come and join us for a terrific workout at the base of the Beautiful Brooklyn Bridge. Sign up is at 6:30pm with the Class starting at 7pm on the dot!!

The Countdown To Class!!

We finally have the Cardio-Strength Circuit Podcasts available for download right HERE. For those of you who don’t know about the Circuit, it is a wonderful idea thought up a couple of decades ago by my good friend, Joel Kaye: spend just a few minutes on each piece of equipment and in a quick hour, you have worked your body in every possible direction. Of course, we have added our own spin to the Circuit idea, including the Podcasts.
Now you can download an hour long workout right onto your iPod. Bring your iPod to the Studio and you are ready to rock!! You get an hour of music and instruction on how to use the Circuit to your best advantage. It’s like having a persona ltrainer right there with you.

Give the Podcasts a try and then let us know what you think. LEt us know what other sorts of music you want to hear, and what other workouts would light up your fitness life. We will make it happen.

Enjoy and Rock On!!!
