Hey Fans!

Hope you’re enjoying FTD so far! Our latest webisode – the “V Force” weight vest workout – was definitely one of my favorite shoots as well as one of my favorite pieces of equipment. As a fitness enthusiast, I’m always looking to add to or change up, my workout routine and the V Force weight vest accomplishes that goal.

What I like about this particular weight vest is the convenience it provides to the beginner as well as the expert gymrat. You can change up the amount of weight you want to carry with no hassle. There’s breathable fabric on the inside that pulls sweat away from your body and lastly, you can add the vest to almost any workout and take your resistance training to a whole new level!

During the shoot, David insisted he keep all the weight on his vest the entire time (he was wearing a 40 lb. vest). I don’t know how he made it through but he did. However, I do remember him walking around gingerly for the next couple of days. Even for the most fit, adding the weight vest to a workout can dramatically increase resistance and shock the muscles in a way that positively enhances muscle growth and endurance. Regardless if you’re running, doing pilates, boxing, doing yoga, or playing basketball, the V Force weight vest is guaranteed to kick your butt! For the beginner, it’ll strengthen your core and build muscles you didn’t even know you have. And for the expert, it’s just the change of pace your body was waiting for!

Big thanks to Jeff Egbert and the team over at Weightvest.com, Inc. who let us Fit Test Dummy their product and if YOU want the V Force vest, go to www.weightvest.com.

Until next time Dummies,

Hello Fit Test Dummies Fans!
Now that we have a few videos up, and all of you have given me your two cents about editing technique, I thought I would introduce myself:  I’m the editor.  🙂

I Edit So You Don’t Have To
Fitness miscreant and film school drop-out, I think I fit in perfectly here at Fit Test Dummy Headquarters.  It’s always a pleasure to be surrounded by those who are passionate about what they do as that sentiment is quite contagious.  Motivated by a fervor for health, self-care and the urge to help others, the Fit Test Dummies are constantly thinking of ways to get people up, moving and fit.  Watching them work hard makes me want to work hard too… although that just might be because I’m the lucky one that has to watch these vehement hard-bodies do the same exercises over and over and over and over again every day of my life until eventually, I can’t stop the urge to try the workout out myself.  And you guys wouldn’t believe what ends up on the cutting room floor…. or maybe you would…

To be honest there is so much more to Fit Test Dummies than what you see on the videos–excellent tips on diet and health, detailed instruction on exercise technique and form that doesn’t make the cut.

I wish there was time to include every piece of fitness advice, health facts, weight loss tips, personal narratives, jokes, and the like in our videos.  I try my best to include a little taste of what you’re missing at the end of each video: pure fan service.  Through our videos, I hope that you not only learn a great deal about health and wellness, but that you also get to know who our hosts really are.  Keep following them through their Fit Testing Adventures!

The Editor

PS: Let me know how I’m doing!  Criticisms, praise, what you like to see, what you don’t, what you’re wearing! Leave a comment, wall post, or email us at FitTestDummies@gmail.com

Real Fit

Want to be REAL fit?

Not FAKE fit – no ridiculous impossible expectations requiring hours in the gym and impossible to maintain meal plans. People ask me all the time what my routine is – they think I’m going to tell them I’m a professional trainer spending hours in the gym and eating very specialized food or eating like a bird.

The truth is, I haven’t been to the gym in two years, I never workout more than 90 minutes a day, and most of the time I’m eating fast food for lunch.

What’s the key then? I make myself a priority – my second appointment every day is a workout DVD in my home gym (the patio). I use supplements judiciously. I eat real food for dinner (I’m blessed to have an amazingly fit wife who has taught herself to cook gourmet healthy food).

And I run a company producing branded content for The Biggest Loser TV show, opening The Biggest Loser Resorts around the country, finding sponsors for The Miss Universe Organization, and now producing original content to help all of you reach your fitness goals. Yes I’m a fitness dork – and I’m proud of it.

More tomorrow on fast food secrets and my favorite protein supplement.

David and Madison test the Burn Machine.  Is it the real deal?  Find out on this episode of Fit Test Dummies.
