Pineapple is better than 'Cardio'


Here's the latest hard science fact giving background how we construct the Pineapple training system, and why it ensures you the most effective, efficient workout on the planet

1. A recent study at Truman University by Farrer et al
Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research:
April 2010 - Volume 24 - Issue 4 - pp 1034-1036


2. The study looks at the "cardio" effect of swinging Kettlebells in a 12min period
a.) they had free reign to stop when and as many times as possible
b.) ie. it was just intermittent functional exercise

3. Results showed a significant increase in VO2 max (the measurement of cardio performance)

4. The message here: "You don't need to do 'traditional' cardio exercises to increase your 'cardio' performance
a.) You can do any movement - as long as it broaches benefit intensity and threshold

So have fun with your workout

5. From a coaching perspective - the above study further highlight's how poor an option traditional cardio is - with its high-impact, constant repetitive stresses. Constantly hammering and damaging your joints.
Think about the variety of ways your body can move and benefit - that's how you should exercise (with adventure, play and freedom of fun into your body

More Cowbell!!!


Funniest SNL skit I've ever seen, is the legendary "I want MORE COWBELL" - from Christopher Walken
a.) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q4royOLtvmQ


Bottom-line is
a.) Either Do it or Don't bother
b.) Walken is extorting if there's going to be a 'cowbell' in the song!!! (yeah it's bizarre!)
c.) Then really give it some!
d.) Give it everything
e.) "GIVE ME MORE COWBELL'

1. Just like with your training
a.) If you're not going to go into 'Benefit threshold'
b.) don't bother
c.) it's not training, it's merely activity
d.) So just enjoy the activity, but don't pretend you're doing any training - because you're not.

Pineapple specializes in making your workout the most effective, efficient, everytime. The technology ensures you the opportunity to optimize every cell in your body.

It give you More Cowbell for your workout!

Time is too precious to waste #2


Some fresh science to further highlight the secret of Pineapple

Paoli et al.
Effects of three distinct protocols of fitness training on body composition, strength and blood lactate.
JSMPF. 2010 Mar;50(1):43-51


1. The study looked 3 groups
a.) low intensity circuit training group
b.) cardio-only
c.) high intensity circuit training group.

This study concluded that among the three groups, the high intensity circuit training showed the greatest reductions in
* Weight
* BodyFat
* Work capacity
* Strength


Like I keep saying - Time is 2 precious 2 waste

Cut the BS fitness
Get into the benefit threshold with results getting fitness.
and yes Pineapple is fun, funky and exciting!

Time is too precious to waste


Time is too precious to Waste

Yeah, you’re doing some ‘gym-work’ and some exercise. Now remember, or really I Know you don’t actually need reminding “time is too precious to waste”

Then cut the BS out with BS fitness

1. You have to get over a ‘threshold’ to achieve results.
2. Now, that’s not ‘no pain no gain’ – as pain is an important message mechanism from the body to highlight danger and damage
3. It does indicate ‘no discomfort, no excellence’ – ie. Challenging yourself to the next-level

This is highlighted by a recent study from Youngstown State University, and published in the Journal of Strength & Conditioning Research. In the study of 71 people there were 3 groups
a.) did nothing. The control group
b.) did 3 sets of 20reps of ab exercises three times a week
c.) did 3 sets of 20 reps, daily
None of the groups showed any significant in strength, reduction of their waist circumference or decreased bodyfat
Basically there wasn’t enough effect to force change. None of the groups had achieved the ‘benefit threshold’ to reap reward from their effort.

Imagine effort and no reward! Oh, a lot of you reading this are experiencing that. C’mon! time is too precious to waste. Up the intensity to get into the ‘benefit threshold’

The Pineapple secret… high-intensity, low-impact.
It’s a super-hard workout and a massage all combined
Juice your body up!
