Bondi Beach Outdoor Training Workout
Below is a video of the outdoor training session my friend Richie and I had on Saturday at Sydney’s Bondi Beach. This workout was especially tough as it was 35 degrees with very high humidity, every set was a battle and by the end of the workout I felt like I’d gone 10 rounds with Lennox Lewis. Nevertheless it was a fun... »
Circuit Training for Quick Fat Loss
If your goal is to lose fat and build lean muscle alternating exercises between different body parts and keeping the rest periods short is the best way to go. Performing straight sets of a strength exercise one after another with long rest periods is a thing of the past (unless your body builder or power lifter). The problem with performing straight sets... »
Sandbag Strength Training
A few years ago back when I was working in the gym I’d never heard of sandbag strength training. It sounded something they’d do in strong man contest, I didn’t think I’d be able to use sandbags with my clients. However when I left there to start up my outdoor personal training company I was searching the internet for... »

Olympic Ring Bodyweight Workout
Well I'm now 5 days into my vacation in the tropics of Northern Queensland (Australia) and apart from throwing myself out of a perfectly good airplane at 14.000 feet, I've been getting plenty of rest and relaxation. Having gone 4 days without training I was getting restless and in desperate need of a workout, after asking a few locals it seems... »

Chest & Triceps or Back & Biceps?
Q.Hi Dan, Just wanna ask you a question... Usually from what I have read, when you do exercise you combine CHEST + TRICEP and BACK + BICEP in your workout routine. (since triceps are used as helpers on chest and it hits triceps secondarily)... But is it okay If I will do BICEP + CHEST and TRICEP + BACK instead? Because every time I... »
Is Swiss Ball Training a Waste of Time?
With the “functional training craze” still in full swing many people are getting too caught up in all the fancy stuff and forgetting what really works. In the gym last week I watched a guy lifting weights whilst standing on a swiss ball for his entire workout. Unless he was looking to improve his skateboarding skills (which I doubt) there really is... »
