30-Minute LIIT Chest and Back Workout In the Sweet Home Gym

Joey Atlas / November 22, 2017

30-Minute LIIT Chest and Back Workout In Sweet Home Gym

This is last night’s 30-Minute LIIT Chest and Back Workout In the Sweet Home Gym

You’ll see a few key elements of my methods:

1 – Bodyweight exercises
2 – Band Exercises
3 – A Medicine Ball Exercise at the end
4 – No Dumbbells in this session


==>> Side Note: Watch me get the mosquito at the 20 second mark**

5 – Slow, Controlled movements
6 – Pausing for the isometric part of certain exercises
7 – Minimal rest between sets
8 – Nothing forced or with ill form
9 – No screaming, yelling or ‘tough-guy’ grunting

As you watch me go through the session you’ll notice my signature AV movements when and where I can implement them.

The variety in all the dips, pull-ups, chin-ups, push-ups, push-offs, band push-downs, band flies and pullovers make for a multi-dimensional, deep muscle-fiber stimulating workout.

Everything together makes for a
short but incredibly effective training session – all right at HOME.

Any questions, comments or thoughts? Just post below, and I’ll reply here asap!

And please do share this with ANYONE you know who needs a good example to follow. They’ll appreciate it and so will I 🙂

Home Gym Horror Show; Will I Have Enough Space for My Home Gym

Joey Atlas / October 18, 2017

Home Gym Horror Show; “Will I Have Enough Space?” Fitness Room Transplant PART 2

Why am I calling this the Home Gym Horror Show?

Because my beautiful blank canvas (the clean, empty garage) that you saw a few weeks ago is now looking more like a modern-day Sanford & Son…

UGHHhhh…! Over the last 3 days, I’ve come to face the hard reality that I have more “things” than just a handful… And for someone who does not like clutter and tends to lean toward minimalism – these last few days have been a little stressful.

And in these last 3 days, Darah and I were on a tear.. JoJo was as well, since he’ll be off to college in a few months…

We basically donated, gave-away, threw out or kept… Those were the 4 choices. And it helped us reduce the amount of “stuff” bigtime… HOWEVER, there is still more to go!!! And we will do it… I lay some of it out here in PART 2 of the Home Gym/Fitness Room Transplant:

Ok – that’s is for now… Stay tuned for PART 3 coming soon…

Any thoughts, comments, questions? Just post below, you know I love hearing from you… And please share this with anyone else you know who can benefit from it… Just use the ‘easy buttons’ below.

Home Gym Design Transplant Fitness Room Makeover Part 1

Joey Atlas / September 25, 2017

Home Gym Transplant Fitness Room Makeover: Part 1

The #1 Rule when designing a Home Gym Room for Fitness is to first CAREFULLY define your reasons “WHY” you’re creating it.

I’ve already done this of course – BUT, for beginners, or people seeking to get started on their health and fitness journey – this is the MOST IMPORTANT thing that must be answered first.

The cost of not having this answer first is that you spend way too much money on the wrong things. Which then means you have to either give-away, donate, return or sell the things you bought – and then YOU STILL HAVE TO buy the right things after that… **Costing you even more time and money**.

The critical key is to know what you need, based on “why”… Your goals… Your desired outcomes. And if you have a partner, or a full family then this also should be taken into consideration, so EVERYONE can benefit from a properly planned home-gym fitness room.

In other words; What are your GOALS, both short term and long term?

Once we determine the answers to those questions, THEN we can plan the Home Gym Layout and the Fitness Items that will become part of that space.

As I write this, it reminds me when I was invited to the Greenwich, CT “home” of Leona and Harry Helmsley in the mid-90’s… (photo below)

Pre-plan your home gym and fitness room
You Don’t Need Too Much Space for a Great Home Gym Room

Leona wanted me to train Harry after he was released from physical therapy, following his stroke.

During my initial visit, she walked me through part of the 17,000 square foot estate (officially named, Dunnellen Hall), and showed me a few rooms, before coming to the ‘exercise room’… a dark, small, office-type of room with one of those old-school, 90% chrome multi-station, home-gym units crammed into it, with the customary tan pads, gray weight stacks, and a bunch of cables and pulleys… Ugh…

In one of the biggest mansions in the world (home went back on the market for almost $50 million in 2016) – and the “home gym” was an afterthought. Strange, but I get it…

That’s a slightly bizarre story I’ll come back to another day… There’s some more drama involved that holds some valuable lessons.

For now – here are my main areas of focus as I transplant my Home Gym and Fitness Room

1 – Flooring (need to still be able to train barefoot, even though it’s ‘the garage’)
2 – Lighting
3 – Ventilation (fans?) (especially cooling for hot weather)
4 – Screen for bugs when large garage door is open (will this work?)
5 – Sound/Music

Space allocation will be a consideration, because I still have to fit a 10 foot Stand-up Paddleboard, 2 bikes, and some other things, into the garage…

Ok – that’s is for now… Stay tuned for PART 2 coming soon…
