1000 Rep Challenge and the Green Monster
Before last nights group class I sent out a teaser message, 'tonight's class is brought to you by the number 100."
Of course when I arrived everyone wanted to know what I meant, some were not excited...all were not excited. The concept was simple: perform 10 exercises for 10 reps. At the end of one round that would total 100 reps. Fair enough if that was the end of the workout, but it wasn't. The objective was to complete each of the 10 exercises 10 times totaling 100 reps per exercises in the circuit, thus completing 1000 repetitions. Oh yeah.
Push ups
Jumping Jacks
Lunges [10 on each leg]
Mountain climbers
Leg Raises
Hip raises
Side Lunges [5 on each side]
Burpees
I got a lot of slack for smiling during the session. I can't help that I love what I do! I can't help that I love watching people go from thinking they can't do something to not wanting to stop because they are so close to their goal.
The goal was 1000 reps and we came oh so close. Most got to 800, with a couple tapping out at 700. Grand total for the class was 4600 total reps. And mind you this was all after a 15min warm up that included burpees, bear crawls, crab walks, chasing a reaction ball and jogging.
I was beaming, very impressed with the effort and will of the ladies. That is why next week we're going on a field trip. We're going to the Green Monster. Not the world famous Green Monster located at Fenway Park home of the Boston Red Sox. No. My Green Monster home of hill sprints, walking lunges up hill and various other torturous exercises.

To B Or Not To B
I choose to B, x IV.
There are IV B's associated with the BRASH Fitness & Conditioning/ Brash Life philosophy, they are: Build, Burn, Believe and Brag.
BUILD
As far as BFC goes this is quite simple, build muscle. By now you've probably heard that the more muscle you have the more fat you'll burn. If you haven't, you have now. Muscle is active tissue, meaning it is constantly working and renewing itself therefore requiring energy (calories). The more muscle you carry the more efficient you become at burning fat. Even at rest you will melt fat away. Weight training is a vital component to building muscle, thus burning unwanted fat.
Build, in terms of the Brash Life is slightly different. We're talking building confidence. Many people start off an exercise program because of a low self image [that's why I did!]. Weightlifting not only helped change my body, but it changed my life. As you progress in your program and your goals change, as you watch your body adapt, get stronger, leaner, more badass, sexy, you cannot help but feel better and confident.

About BRASH
ARE YOU BRASH?
brash | braSH
I. One who lives according to their values and passions.
II. A person who exudes confidence; knows what’s important to them and tries like hell to live a fun, fulfilled, meaningful life.
III. Is engaged. Constantly learning, evolving and improving.
IV. A person actively seeking an athletic, well-conditioned body, and a more holistic lifestyle.
What Is Brash Fitness?
Brash Fitness is a dynamic strength and conditioning program. We have designed our program to be a diverse and inclusive system incorporating many different training methods and modalities including but not limited to; weightlifting, body weight exercises, kettle bell training, climbing, throwing, Olympic lifting, sprinting, plyometrics and agility drills. By using constantly varied, functional movements executed at high intensity, we can improve the physical fitness, in everyone from elite athletes to sedentary office workers. We focus on functional movements and specific sports conditioning in our programming because it challenges the body’s hard drive [muscles, heart, lungs] and software [brain and nervous system].
What makes Brash Fitness different from other exercise programs?
What makes Brash Fitness so different from any other exercise program is our programming. We combine functional strength training with kettle bell training, calisthenics, plyometric, agility drills and traditional form of cardio. By incorporating exercises and drills from all these different modalities we are able to create a dynamic fitness experience.
At Brash Fitness you are coached through your fitness journey. Proper instruction plus proper execution equals optimal results. We don’t fill classes up just to maximize the bottom dollar, resulting in a poor experience for our athletes. Smaller class sizes means quality instruction and a more personal touch to your training. There are no aimless wanderers or treadmill channel surfers at Brash Fitness, be prepared for an intense guided fitness approach.
Additionally, working in a group setting with like-minded individuals creates a symbiotic effect (people responding and feeding off of each other’s drive and pushing themselves further), and you are always under the supervision of certified trainers, making sure that your form is correct during these movements.
Can any join Brash Fitness or is it for experienced athletes only?
Absolutely anyone can join Brash Fitness because we can tailor our programming to individual skill levels. That is one of the best things about our program versus big group fitness training and bootcamps. There is no such thing as a one size fits all training approach. Everyone’s different, with different needs and skill sets, at Brash Fitness we can help you pin point what those are and adjust accordingly. Every move is scalable and therefore every client can complete every class within their skill level while still having an intense workout experience. This is great for not only meeting their individual skill level but also for aiding in building confidence and exercise adherence.
Many of our clients go from never having worked out to becoming avid runners and cyclists, adding additional disciplines to their training like yoga, boxing and martial arts and joining recreational sports teams.
What is the number 1 piece of advice you give to new and potential clients?
The number one piece of advice I give new and potential clients is the same advice I give all my athletes: Have a long term goal. This is how you need to think about your training. Of course, you need to have short-term goals along the way and be ready to adapt at any time. But if you train just for the sake of training you probably won’t be that much stronger or look significantly different a year or two from now. So pick a few goals, like eliminating sugar from your diet or doing 20 chin ups or losing 30 pounds or being able to hold a front plank for 3 minutes or whatever. The decision is yours but you should at least have something you are chasing to make your training more purposeful.
Goal setting is a priority at Brash Fitness. Many new and experience trainees miss this valuable tool. The Brash Fitness program put major weight on setting goals, reaching goals and making new goals.
