Awesome and Safe Shoulder Workout to Do at Home

Joey Atlas / May 22, 2017

Awesome and Safe Shoulder Workout to Do at Home

If you’re new here in “AtlasVille”, the camera may tend to make me look more like John Cena in terms of physical stature. While I love John, I don’t want that to scare you off, lol…

So, as you watch this session, be sure to keep in mind, I’m 5’2″, 132 LBS (give or take a little, depending on the day)… So, I’m actually more like Bruce Lee in terms of true physical stature. I think he actually had about 3 inches on me (5’5″ or 5’6″ ish…)

I’m posting this on a Monday – but I did this yesterday afternoon, hence…

In this Simple & Strong Sunday Shoulder Session (5 S’s there, 6 if you feel like throwing in Sexy) I Take You Through 4 Awesome Moves

1 – Freestyle Real Deltoid Abduction w/ Dumbbell (back part of the shoulder and upper back)
2 – Body-weight Shoulder Press Using Asymmetrical Variance Gripping on SCULPTABOD Home Gym Unit
3 – Unilateral (Single-Side) Total Shoulder Eccentric Circles
4 – Ninety-degree Unilateral Shoulder Raise

As always, in keeping with “The Atlas Way” philosophy and methods… You’ll notice the following:

A – Slow, controlled movements, with minimal momentum (none where possible)
B – Low-Intensity (LIIT), High-Focus
C – Low repetitions, high quality movement in each repetition
D – Including subtle pause-holds at certain end points of exercises

Each exercise is considered an ‘interval’ and all 4 of them performed one right after the other, comprises and larger/longer ‘interval’…

I point those out to give you more insight into the LIIT aspects of my methods and how, even though they are the opposite of HIIT, and contrarian to collective cultural “workout mindset” and habits of the masses… The benefits and results are undeniable, and they fly in the face of current traditional approaches to fitness.

Go figure 🙂

While this is a portion of the total training session, the entire session from start to finish took me about 25 minutes, THAT’S IT…

PROOF: You Don’t Need to Spend Hours In the Gym to Get Awesome Results…

Rather, you can spend less than half an hour a day, AT HOME, and get results that will turn heads everywhere and, MOST importantly, give you a health profile that will make your doctor want to know your secrets…

Any questions, comments or thoughts? Post below, I’d love to hear from you.

And please use the ‘easy’ buttons below to share today’s video lesson with ANYONE and everyone you know who can use some positive and kind-hearted help with their health, fitness and mindset.

Short Abs and Core Workout with Bands

Joey Atlas / May 16, 2017

6 Minute Abs and Core Workout: 3 Exercises for a Better Midsection

Today the “Atlas Candid Cam” brings you a…

6 Minute Abs and Core Workout: 3 Resistance Band Exercises for a Better Midsection

If you’ve been snooping around my world a bit, you know I do things a bit differently. This sliver of today’s abs/core workout in the home gym falls into the same ‘Joey Atlas Genre’…

UNIQUE by Mindful, Intentional Design…

When I say “unconventional, non-traditional, against the norm…” this is one example of what I mean… this is one of the elements that draws people to me, because they hear a different “message” coming through. A message that permeates my entire approach to triggering realistic habits of effective fitness in the busyness of modern life… More to come on that in the next few weeks.

Some important ab/core fitness training notes for you:

A – Again, notice how I train barefoot (LOTS of benefits). Yes the socks where on until they had me “slippin for grippin”, but as you’ll see in the video, even they had to come off so I could get some more traction.

B – My repetition ranges are low (Quality over Quantity)

C – I share 3 synergistic exercises in the video (# 3, 4, 5 below). All 8 moves combined took me about 18 minutes total. That’s it.

==> NOTE: you can anchor your bands at the top of a doorway – or anything strong enough to ‘handle’ the pull.

1 – Slow-Rep Planks
2 – Ab Wheel Roll Outs
3 – Hi-Lo Bands Turns with Focus on Abs/Core <==
4 – Stagger-Stance Hi-Lo Band to Back Foot with Focus on Abs/Core <==
5 – Wide-Stance Hi-Lo Side to Side with Focus on Abs/Core <==
6 – Cross-Leg Reverse Core-Curl
7 – Open Scissor-Ups
8 – Slow-Rep Side Planks

This Low-Intensity (LIIT) high-stimulation abs/core training session is a great representation of the new program I’m aiming to release toward the end of this Summer (2017)…

“FS-7” – Fitness Simplified, 7-Day Cycle Method

“FS-7” can be used by any fitness level, and can incorporate any of the videos from my video library as well. So you’ll be getting the new “FS-7” videos, PLUS the overall structure & strategy that allows you to ‘plug-in’ any of my other videos training segments from the Private “On-Demand” fitness training library…

The biggest benefit to you is Decreased Fitness Training Time with Increased, Better Results…

Founder Client spots for “Atlas Ultimate Access On-Demand – Private Online Health Club” Opening In a Few Days

Keep your eyes peeled for my next few emails, because Founder Client spots will be limited and will go on a “First Come, First Served” basis…

Anyone who signs up as a Founder Client in Atlas Ultimate Access “On-Demand” Private Online Health Club at the End of this week, will get “FS-7” at no charge when I release it… (plus a bunch of other “Founder Client” programs and bonuses, to be announced later this week).

Any questions, comments of thoughts at all – please post below, you know I love hearing from you.

Daddy Daughter Bodyweight Workout Chest and Back

Joey Atlas / May 13, 2017

Daddy Daughter Bodyweight Workout Chest and Back In Home Gym

Another Priceless “Atlas Candid Cam Session”: Some Friday Fitness Fun and Fire With My Older Daughter, Alexa

My father, Giuseppe (“Joe”), is one of the Biggest Influences in my life (more to come on this great story of a childhood that could have gone waaaaayyyyyy wrong).

…And I’ve always strived to be the same for my kids (and other kids), not by force – but “by example”…

In today’s Atlas Candid Cam session, we not only share how that influence has rubbed off – but we also share part of an amazing Bodyweight Chest and Back Training Session on the SCULPTABOD Fitness Unit, in the home gym room:

Alexa, my older daughter, is home for the Summer from Valdosta State in Georgia. While here, she is part of The Team in the SCULPTAFIT Studio helping to coach various classes each week.

She also check in with me almost daily to see “what time are we going for a bike ride” and which home fitness training session is on the schedule… She participates in the SCULPTAFIT Studio sessions 2-3 times per week, so depending on the day, and timing, she follows up with a daddy/daughter workout here at the house…

Here’s a Summary of what we did in this Bodyweight Chest and Back Training Session:

All of these incorporate; Slow-Tempo, LIIT, Asymmetrical Variance (most moves), Pause Holds, etc.. and you’ll see in the video, I spotted Lex when and where necessary if she was only able to do partial bodyweight.

1 – AV Push-ups on Floor Handles
2 – AV Pull-ups
3 – AV Inverted Rows
4 – AV Dips
5 – AV Push-ups on SCULPTABOD Indy Handles
6 – Variation Pull-ups

Sometimes I’ll add a few other exercises to extend the Chest and Back training session, depending on time and energy.

I’ll shoot a video in the next few weeks to show some of those additional movements that add deeper stimulation, and response, while still employing safe synergy as a priority.

Any questions, comments or thoughts? PLEASE post in the comment box below. I’d LOVE to hear from you.

Natural Cellulite Treatment Success Story Interview Preview Video

Natural Cellulite Treatment Success Story Interview Preview Video

On this page was “supposed to be” the video version of The Fitness Whisperer Podcast Episode #8, BUT, in my haste of amateur editing, I accidentally erased the entire video version.

UGH….

So I recorded this one, after my menial mishap, to take it’s place:

After the short video, you’ll want to soak up these fine pieces of material (if you haven’t already):

1 – TFW Episode #8: Natural Cellulite Treatment Success Story Karie Lynn, Fitness Simplified and a Mind-Shift Experience

2 – Cellulite Success Story Karie Lynn Visits Naked Beauty Author Joey Atlas

Karie Lynn Doing Assisted Pistol Squat on SCULPTABOD Unit

Cellulite Success Story Karie Lynn Visits Naked Beauty Author Joey Atlas

To put this post into stronger and more meaningful context, so you can get the most out of it, be sure to listen to The Fitness Whisperer Podcast Episode #8 here: Natural Cellulite Treatment Success, Fitness Simplified and a Mind-Shift Experience

Or you can listen to it right here by click play in this mini-player embed:

“I had an idea of Karie’s abilities, fitness level, and goals before she arrived so we were able to hit the ground running and actually did our first session in the late afternoon of the day she arrived…”

Here’s how our full training schedule panned out during the 5.5 day “Atlas 1-on-1 Personal Fitness Experience”:

1 – Karie Arrived Here in Jacksonville, FL from Minnesota Thursday Afternoon: We did a full Lower-Body Training Session; (see Assisted Pistol Squat Photo below) We also did a manual stretching/flexibility session.

2 – Friday: At 9:15am I dropped Karie off at the SCULPTAFIT Studio in Saint Johns, FL so she could try her first class and see what the “experience” is like as a participant. (She was quite surprised, as you may have heard in the TFW podcast Episode #8)

Later that same day (Friday Afternoon, before dinner, we did a Bodyweight Chest and Back Training Session on the SCULPTABOD Unit in the home gym room at the house.

3 – Saturday: Abs and Core on the SCULPTABOD Unit, 10 minute stretching/flexibility session; and a 15 Mile ‘Casual’ Bike Ride.

4 – Sunday: 20 mile Beach Bike Ride (Atlantic Beach & Neptune Beach, FL) (No resistance training this day).

5 – Monday: Another 9:15am SCULPTAFIT Studio Session for Karie. Later in the afternoon, we did a Shoulder Focused Workout at the house (see Rear Deltoid and Bodyweight Shoulder Press photos below)

6 – Tuesday: at 10 am we recorded The Fitness Whisperer Podcast Episode #8
..and then left for the airport around noon to get Karie there on time for her flight back to Minnesota.

Here are a few still shot from the Atlas Home Gym Studio Training Sessions we did at the house:

Karie Lynn Doing Freestyle Rear Deltoid Upper Back Dumbbell Raise
Karie Lynn Doing Freestyle Rear Deltoid Upper Back Dumbbell Raise
Karie Lynn Partial Bodyweight Shoulder Press on SCULPTABOD Unit
Karie Lynn Doing Partial Bodyweight Shoulder Press on SCULPTABOD Unit
Karie Lynn Doing Assisted Pistol Squat on SCULPTABOD Unit
Karie Lynn Doing Assisted Pistol Squat on SCULPTABOD Unit

A few other keys highlights and discoveries that were made and noted during Karie’s Fitness Visit

1 – She was extremely surprised at The Simple, but Super-Helpful, Healthy Cooking “lessons” that occurred in the kitchen. Karie was able to witness my some of my regular recipe combos, cooking shortcuts, and fitness food prep tactics that make living healthy so easy and enjoyable. (these kitchen/food lessons may become part of the “Atlas/SCULPTAFIT Optimum Wellness Retreat” later this year, or early in 2018)

2 – I rely VERY heavily on my Electric Tea Kettle (<= that is a very good one ) to boil water quickly and safely, several times a day for my teas, and some foods. Karie realized this one tactic alone will save her 20-30 minutes per day (maybe more), EVERY DAY. That adds up... to A LOT of time she gets back for herself. 3 – Mindset and how I “think about” how I go through my days. She made note of the proactive mental ‘filtering’ and planning that went into making my days smoother, more predictable, and more prepared for any challenges that may arise (which happens in life). The things we talked about on this topic may also become part of the “Atlas/SCULPTAFIT Optimum Wellness Retreat” later this year, or early in 2018)

4 – This is something that actually hit me “after the fact”. We did several “mini food shops” during Karie’s visit and I realized how much we took for granted, in that – so many people are overwhelmingly confused when they go into a supermarket, or any other place they go for food shopping.

We just breezed through the markets snatching up all the good things we needed for our health/fitness lifestyles and goals – while so many other people where filling their carts with life-killing, health-crippling “foods” and drinks…

It’s important to note: Some people are oblivious to understanding the difference between “good” foods and “bad” foods… While others “know” the difference, but choose to ignore what they know and still eat & drink themselves into poor health, illness and premature aging.

So the idea of making food-shopping and “Supermarket Savvy” and part of the “Atlas/SCULPTAFIT Optimum Wellness Retreat” later this year, or early in 2018 is one that I know will be a very important one.

Alrighty, that’s it for this one…
