Brian Grasso… Stay off the Paved Road
Posted by: | CommentsThere are not many people that I can say impress me with their authenticity… I can count them on one hand. Brian Grasso, founder of the International Youth and Conditioning Association does with out a shadow of a doubt.
I had an opportunity to work with Brian for a little while when he was deciding to take his “brand” a little more personal. Although he was a client on the business side of askROCCO as we prepared him for a motivational performance he did in a suburb of Chicago, I was able to capture this unbelievable moment in time. I’m so glad I did… and I hope you do too.
What really impressed me was that he was able to let himself be who he really was… a real person who cares about people. He was able to take us on a tragic journey with heartfelt agony and bring us back on solid ground in a positive direction.
I implore you to listen to this awe inspiring story of one of the greats in our industry. Thanks Brian.

The AbRocket… Celebrities Abs and Kim Kardashian
Posted by: | CommentsI think this is definitely one of my favorites… not only because the announcer tells me what worthless celebrities are using it to get there amazing six packs but because it trains your abs because it helps you on the way up. Oh yea… and it gives you a great massage while doing your ab workout… holy shit! I’m in heaven!
It was also featured on The View.. and countless other shows that charge for promotion (anywhere from $10,000 – 30,000 dollars for Barbara Walters and her minions to try out your “Ab Catapult”… I mean Ab Rocket.
Now here is the clincher… you have to buy it now because Kim Kardashian and Kris Jenner tell you that’s how Kim got her curvy body into “Reality TV” shape. I am so friggin’ sold I want to buy at least 6 for me and all my fat friends… thank you Kim for giving me that peace of mind.
Why don’t you try the workout Kim Kardashian would never go near to Lose Weight Fast … http://lose30inthirty.com
Sugar: The Bitter Truth… NOT!
Posted by: | CommentsTwo huge points he made in the beginning need some clarification.
1) Genetics have “absolutely” changed in the last 30 years. The gene pool has become so mixed from different races as well as different cultures that the American skeleton and musculature is way different than it was 30 years ago.
2) Fructose is not the problem… “free floating” fructose is the problem, such as what is in High Fructose Corn Syrup. Fructose, the sugar from fruit does not act in the body the same way as it does when delivered through High Fructose Corn Syrup. Fructose when eaten in fruit is burned… and quite efficiently, I might add. Fructose delivered to the body as High Fructose Corn Syrup is stored directly as fat from the liver because your body burned the sucrose molecule and left the fructose floating around aimlessly. So the body in it’s own wisdom snatches it up and stores it so it can cause any potential damage.
I wish these doctors would get it right… now we will have millions of people thinking they shouldn’t be eating fruit… which by the way is better than vegetables for your digestive system but that’s for another post.
Here’s a little audio commentary from Rocco himself:

Kymaro Rhythm Rocker™ … let’s sit down and dance!
Posted by: | CommentsNever in my life did I ever think I would see people sitting down and trying to replicate dance moves. I just goes beyond the laws of physics… you are supposed to “Get up and Dance!”.
Please can someone please tell how this piece of shit gives you a “full body workout” as it says in big white letters about a minute or so into the video? … and while you are answering that question, help me figure out why all the people in the beginning of the commercial are standing and doing regular dance moves that look nothing like the “moves” they do on the “Rhythm Rocker”.
Don’t get me wrong I do see actual practical application for this “Rhythm Rocker”. I think for the severely obese it would be a wonderful tool to get them moving in some way… but the reality is that the thin metal frame would buckle under the weight. If you watch the video you will see that no one is really that overweight (which was the intention).
This product only costs $99.99 retail. So that means it cost less than $20.00 to make. I don’t know about you but I wouldn’t trust anything that cost that little to hold up anything but a stuffed animal in the corner.
Just a little FYI- The Rhythm Rocker is brought to you by the same company who sells “The Body Shaper” and “The Bra Bust Cups”. So when you think about it, The Rythm Rocker will just be another accessory in your bedroom or closet to do nothing for your “real” body.
Click the video below but don’t watch the whole 28 minutes… the fist 3 minutes will suffice.
BodyRockTV: Zuzanna teaches us to count
Posted by: | CommentsThis is absolutely classic fitness stupidity. BodyRockTV has over 6 million views on this video alone and I would have to believe that it isn’t because Zuzanna has a wealth of knowledge when it comes to training. She is abundant in something but I can’t really put my finger… um… hands… can’t take my eyes off of… well who needs to know how to count when you have assets like these.
By the way, did I tell you this is a really intense butt and leg workout!
I can hear the bbbboinggggg!!!!! of woody’s popping up in 13 year old… ok… 30 year old pants across America. It just goes to show you get a nice pair of breasts, keep them barely wrangled in and have a Russian/ Ukrainian accent and you can dispense fitness advice to over 6 million people.
Zuzanna… I hope you can get that balancing act thing down before your next video… I know how it can be when you trying to lean forward with all “that” going for you. Oh and your triceps happen to “not” be a pulling muscle… you may have meant… and this is a stretch here… biceps, but who am I.
When you stop laughing at this incredible lack of fitness knowledge please take a look at a real fitness program to lose weight fast.
