Crossfit on TMZ



The Cult of Fitness has a arrived! CrossFit just hit the super mainstream....a feature on Hollywood gossip site and TV show TMZ. Will crossfit become the new Scientology among the Hollywood elite? Actors and entertainers have a tendency to latch onto whatever is trending at the moment so it wouldn't surprise me to hear about the cast of Big Bang training at crossfit silicone valley or Justin Bieber talking about his WOD

We all thought crossfit aligning themselves with Reebok was their ticket to the mainstream but if Hollywood sinks it's teeth into this it could actually......slow it down? 

Is Kim Kardashian doing crossfit?

Super Shoulders- Handstand PushUps



If you truly want to build big shoulders then you will have to add handstand push-ups to your arsenal. There is a reason why Olympic gymnasts have killer delts. 

Handstand push ups are an advanced level exercise but can be modified to accommodate novice or intermediate lifters. 

The easiest way to do handstand push ups is to prop yourself up against the wall [as a spot] eventually you'll want to increase your range of motion by placing your hands on boxes and lower your head between them. This is the ultimate pressing exercise and should be included for some massive shoulder development and full body strength and athleticism.

Patience is a must.

Walk That Walk: Get a Body Like Rihanna

Not a fan of the eliptical unless Rihanna's on it!

Want a body like RiRi? Her workout regime is actually quite simple. When's she's on the road she'll workout at least 3 times a week for 25 minutes. But when she's settled in one place she kicks it up to 5 workouts a week and 30 minutes of cardio which is up from the usual 10 minutes when she's on the road. 
Rihanna's cardio includes biking or cycling, jumping rope without a rope, stationary jogging and jumping jacks, exercises she can do in a hotel room or backstage before a show.

As for her most noticeable assets, her glutes try these 4 moves: Aim for 3 sets of 20-25

1. Curtsey Lunge (a.k.a. Skater Lunge): Stand with your feet together, then take a large lunge backward with your left leg, moving your leg diagonally behind you as you lunge. Repeat with your right leg, and continue to rapidly alternate between legs until you finish your set. If you'd like to modify this exercise, try a stationary reverse lunge, continuing to alternate your legs.
2. Step-Ups: Using a chair or a bench, step up with your left leg, simply bringing your right leg along with you, and then lead with your left leg on the way back down. Do all your reps on the left side, then switch to the right and start again.
3. Step-Across: Stand to the side of your bench or chair. Step on using your right foot from the right side. Bring your left leg up, and then step down with your right foot on the left side of the bench. Continue alternating sides for 20 to 25 repetitions.
4. Stiff Leg Deadlift: Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and a weight on the floor in front of you: either dumbbells, a barbell...Lean over, pick up the weight and slowly come up to standing, sliding your hips back and keeping your hamstrings tight. Return the weight to the ground slowly, then repeat.

Brash Fitness Takes the Gold!




On Saturday March 24th and Sunday March 25th Blast Athletic Toronto held their annual Combine, testing maximal strength and power, muscular endurance, speed, agility, quickness and cardiovascular endurance. 


Brash Fitness had two representatives in the event Ela [women's Elite division] and Josh [men's Elite division]. As a Hybrid Instructor for Blast Athletic [The Hybrid program is Blast's signature program. Visit the Blast Athletic facebook page for more details] I know how fit all the participants in this years Combine are. As determined and fierce Ela is during training going into the event she was feeling nervous, could be because she also knew how tough each and every women in the Blast Athletic program is. After only 5 months of training with Brash Fitness and setting and breaking almost every record possible it was time to see just how effective our training system  and methods were.


Knowing Ela was nervous I decided to put even more pressure on her by boldly predicting she would place in the top 5 -I wanted to say top 3 but I played it a little conservative!
