Mungo Jerry, Eggs, and Getting Toasted

Thank You Mungo Jerry

For your listening pleasure: 

Well, it is officially SUMMER! Just coming in from a workout with a couple of my favorite students, and it was a hot one! There is something about this time of year that brings us out of hiding and into the sunshine. Well, it only took a few minutes into the recent QUADZILLA workout for them to feel the true burn of summer :)

I'm Not Yolking Around

In other news, a common topic I feel I keep having to explain to people is the fact that the egg is useless without the yolk. This drives me absolutely insane, as the yolk is not only the best tasting part of the egg, but it is also the most nutritious part. 

So let's take a look at the gloriousness that is the egg:

• The yolk is mostly fat. Yes, fat. Fat that is great for your brain, nervous system, and metabolism. Remember, FAT DOES NOT MAKE YOU FAT. This is also why it is ok to eat bacon. But it needs to be quality bacon. Not the slimy thin nitrate pumped pieces of "bacon" you find in your local WalFart. 

• The yolk is packed full of nutrition, including vitamins B2, B12, D and iron!

• The yolk needs the white and the whites need the yolk! The yolks help to balance the amino acids of the whites, making the protein in the egg whites more easily absorbed by our bodies.

• A large egg yolk contains about 210 milligrams of cholesterol and 5 grams of fat. However, studies (found abundantly on any study search) shown that eating one egg everyday does not heighten your potential for high blood pressure and heart diseases.

Eating only the egg white is like doing half squats... they don't count.

All this talk about eggs has made me hungry. What better around breakfast time than a few slices of good ol French Toast. French toast is a classic. It is simple. It is hard to screw up. It hits the spot and leaves you very satisfied. So here is a little sweet, simple, hard to screw up yet effective workout: TOASTED

Welcome to TOASTED

Bell Size: Men will use a 24kg bell, and women a 16kg bell (or heavier if appropriate) 

This is a simple but effective Swing/Goblet Squat ladder to be done with minimal to no rest, but QUALITY REPS is a must. Be smart, be safe. 

10 Swings / 10 Goblet Squats

9 Swings / 9 Goblet Squats

8 Swings / 8 Goblet Squats

7 Swings / 7 Goblet Squats

6 Swings / 6 Goblet Squats

5 Swings / 5 Goblet Squats

4 Swings / 4 Goblet Squats

3 Swings / 3 Goblet Squats

2 Swings / 2 Goblet Squats

1 Swings / 1 Goblet Squats

Now... here is where you get TOASTED... Make your way back up to 10/10!

1 Swings / 1 Goblet Squats

2 Swings / 2 Goblet Squats

3 Swings / 3 Goblet Squats

4 Swings / 4 Goblet Squats

7 Swings / 7 Goblet Squats

8 Swings / 8 Goblet Squats

9 Swings / 9 Goblet Squats

Remember QUALITY is key. If you start to lose your form, set the bell down, take a couple of breaths, and then get right back into it. 

Enjoy :)

Stay Strong,
Kris
