i dont get why ppl want an easier workout. i friggin love lifting weights now. i started on cabels due to intimidation, but am easing my way into dumbells and damn they feel good.
@EmzilyD Sorry to hear that. Theres also more great info on my BlogTalkRadio show. Go there search & Steve Turano. The show can also be downloaded from iTunes. The most recent shows can also be heard on my website home page (at the bottom) once they upload. Tell a friend! ~Steve
If it’s all I had available I would use them. But they are not nearly as effective as free weights (nothing is) and probably more difficult to use with certain movements.
Sorry if I missed any earlier explanation but I was wondering about your opinion on resistance bands. There’s one by Bodylastics promoted by Terrell Owens called “Super Strong Man” edition. Same basic concept but sturdier construction and it combines bands to increase tension. Just wondering whether you thought the muscle gains could be comparable to free weights. They definitely are a lot more portable for business travel
Insanity’s real tough, of course it works. its not for beginners, but people looking to lose BF would like it. Its just really intense cardio Dont use it for building muscle though…theres no weightlifting involved, its all bodyweight.
Your advice for dieting and excercise is the most unbiased and truthful i’ve seen in a while. Thanks for getting your opinion out there! (Oh, and what do you think about that new workout dvd infomercial called “Insanity”?)
I like what your saying, but these gimmicks help people who are not going to change anyway feel like they are going to make progress until they give up and try another. It’s kind of a good thing because people who fall for these things are obviously seeking an excuse. We should give it to them and make money. I know it sounds bad but to be frank it’s just a matter of the stronger taking advantage of the weak. Good stuff
Thank you! Check out the exercise pics on my site. Always do Bench Press and Incline Bench Press both using a bar. Then pick a dumbbell exercise. Flat or Incline DB Bench or Flies.
hey steve im edwin from philippines, im enjoying to watch your video i learned a lot from you and i thank you for that your such a nice person. god bless you. i have question steve can you give me a program for my chest im an advance trainee. thank you again steve.
WaitingOnSylvan, someone tried to convince me once of the early morning-empty stomach thing. It doesn’t burn more fat or calories. BUT, the workout you do will probably be one of your worst. You’ll miss reps and poundages that you probably otherwise would have gotten. And if it’s an aerobics day, you’ll tire much sooner and feel weak and kind sickly in the process. Give it a shot once so you know the feeling. Trust me,….you’ll hate it!!
Hi Steve, I had a quick question about exercise and when you did it. I read somewhere that it was much more efficient to work out in the morning, on an empty stomach. This is due to your low blood sugar level, and the fact that your body needs to burn the fat to do the exercise, rather than getting the energy from the days food.
You on the other hand talk of calorie deficits and surplus’.
Hey Steve!! I just started watching your videos here on youtube (and I love them!). I would like to hear your opinion on elliptical machines and how useful they are.
I used to play baseball in high school, and football, and BMX bike and skateboard. Dont kid yourself skateboarding is a very demanding sport on the body. I went to college gained 80 lbs, lost a girl friend and got on a stairmaster. Lost all the weight got another girl friend. Its that simple, sex is the motivator but now, many girl friends later, I wieghed in at 325, and Im on a mission to get back to 180-90lbs. Ill be watching your videos

Another machine that’s a total rip off is the abcircle pro. Bought it and I’m still not seeing results. Planning to sell it in the paper or on eBay

As far as jumping it’s good. lol The one way it would work is so people who don’t have coordination could still jump rope. lol

Thank you! Glad you’re enjoying. Please tell a friend. That infomercial is GARBAGE! ~Steve

Waste of time. Just do regular push ups or bench press.

Hey Steve
I think your videos are great and very informative and I seriously think you should get your own tv show!
Thank you for everything!

The facts are it doesn’t matter when you workout and an empty stomach doesn’t speed calorie utilization.
