Stay Fat Die Young…’nuff said!
Posted by: | CommentsTo tell you the truth I’m almost sick of saying this…almost!..if you are fat you will die before your time. You will not live to be 80 or 90 if you are more than 30 lbs over fat…a heart attack or Cancer is in your not so distant future.
If you think that I am trying to use scare tactics…you’re absolutely right. I do want to scare the shit out of you! If premature death doesn’t scare you into getting your fat ass out of the chair and working out, then make sure your insurance is paid up and your plot is picked out.
If you have young children make sure your spouse will be able to take care of them when your dead. If they can’t …start looking for a good orphanage or foster home…maybe a relative.
If you die prematurely you are robbing the world around you of your experience. An experience that holds value in people’s eyes and hearts that you may not even know about. People love you and want you to live a long life…unless you’re a child molester and then I want you to burn in a car fire…but that’s another rant.

Posted by: | CommentsSo you totally flaked out on your weight loss New Year’s resolution. So friggin’ what!
I’ve given you a do-over. That’s right…since you’re acting like an eight year and not sticking to your fitness and weight loss goals, I’ve given you a Rocco do-over. this St. Valentines day I want you to make a St. Valentine’s Day resolution…and this time keep it!
Here’ the deal. If you don’t do anything…you’ll still be fat in 3 months and you be saying the same old shit, “I’m so fat, and I can’t fit into any swimsuit…look at the fat popping out all over…boo hoo”. Or in 3 months…12 friggin’ weeks…you can be saying,”Holy Shit! am I f@#kin’ Hot or what?!. I personally would rather you be saying the latter then the former but really it’s up to you. I can’t drag you by the hair and make you workout I can only give you the great information I have been giving you.

Bootcamp Exercise is Hitting Prime Time with Desperate Housewives
Posted by: | CommentsIf you thought Fitness Boot Camps were a flash in the pan…think again. Trainers across the world are figuring out that it is more fun and a better workout atmosphere for people to participate in Boot Camps than joining a gym.
I am and always have been a huge advocate of training people in groups and the boot camp style fit my personality as well as my training style. The message is spending and even Hollywood is getting in on the Boot Camp action. Last night Desperate Housewives featured the “Housewives” participating in a boot camp…so get ready to see more a more people heading outside or inside to get their ass kicked…Boot Camp Style.
Watch my video as I discuss the benefits of Boot Camp.
Crisis Averted…and a lesson learned
Posted by: | Comments
There is nothing worse then working so hard on something and then in one fell swoop… it is all gone. That’s what happened last night. I was updating this very blog to Word Press 2.7 and once it was installed, a horror I have always feared happened…askROCCO Blog was no more. Gone. Finito.
I wanted to puke. So many thoughts went through my mind and none of them were positive. I was absolutely horrified at the thought of having to piece this blog back together and all the work that went into it. I sometimes don’t realize how much work goes into this because I love it so much that I take it for granted…then…like a 2 year old would say, “all gone.” So after staying up most of the night into what I think was 5am I crashed and resolved to start a new askROCCO Blog. I was hoping that my hosting company could restore it but I wasn’t holding my breath.
I learned a very valuable lesson from this little crisis…and it goes along with the same theme of some of the posts from this week…”Don’t worry about things you have no control over”. I stayed up all night to try and fix something that I couldn’t. It was beyond my scope reasoning and intellect at 3, 4 and 5 in the morning. No place for me to be.
When I woke up the first person I called was my hosting company and the second was someone I consider to be the Word Press “God”, Jameson Bennett. He works for a company called Willow in Cincinnati, OH and knows just about everything and anything that is Word Press related. Just being on the phone with him put me at ease and within 7 minutes he breathed life back into askROCCO Blog. I was as happy as a naked baby running through the house (I don’t know where that came from…but now it’s your issue).
All that worrying, all the grief and yes, grief…it was like a child of mine died, all that lost sleep did absolutely nothing for me except make me irritable, cranky and drained. Not a good stat to be in.
So I have decided that from now on I will not let that stuff get the best of me, get my rest and leave it up to the people that know better. If by chance they don’t know better, realize that it is just a new beginning and move forward.
It’s a funny thing…I didn’t die, actually no one died, no one was hurt, I didn’t lose my life savings and I learned a little about myself. All in all not a bad way to start the weekend.
I do want to thank everyone for appreciating what I do everyday because you allow me to do what I love to do…getting people to lose weight fast!
The Best Hip and Thigh Exercise I ever Invented….Hip Splits
Posted by: | CommentsThis is hilarious…maybe not to you but definitely to me. I put most of the exercises I use for my Lose Weight Fast exercise program Lose 30 in Thirty on either YouTube.com or Viddler but I like to give my blog readers first crack at them.
The best exercise I ever invented for my Boot Camps and my fitness program escaped the pages of my blog. I don’t know how it happened but it did. The exercise is called “Hip Splits” and kicks your ass…literally. When you do this exercise it really hits your “trouble” spots on your hips, thighs and butt. An added benefit is that it also helps to strengthen your lower back and when your sitting in a chair all day starring at a friggin’ computer it helps to have a strong back.
When doing Hip Splits make sure that your head is level, your butt is down and you spread your legs as far as you can. When you add these to your workout make sure you perform a continuous set for 60 seconds.
Now watch the video to get a better idea of what I’m talking about.
