Gilad's My Guy

Current Mood:
CC is listening to: The Red Pony: Suite For Orchestra: IV. Walk To The Bunkhouse--Philadelphia Orchestra (Copland: Orchestral Works: Fanfare For The Common Man/Rodeo: Three Dance Episodes/The Red Pony Suite/Lincoln Portrait)

Ever heard of Gilad? He's the guy whose show I exercise to about 4 times a week on the cable channel FitTV. Sometimes I work out to his older show called "Bodies in Motion," and sometimes it's his newer series called "Total Body Sculpt."

What I like about FitTV is that they've got a whole slew of trainers that you can choose from. Some people like the perky cheerleader types, other people like the hard-core no-mercy type instructors.

I like Gilad because he's more logical about it--he explains why we're doing that particular move, and how to do it so that you maximize the benefits.

Here's a 4-minute sample of what he does. The episodes are only 30 minutes long (10 minutes warmup, 10 minutes conditioning, 10 minutes abs & cooldown), but sometimes they're the longest 30 minutes of your life :-). Just when you think it's all over, he demands you do the move in *singles.* I remember when I did the workout in this video(this is from his Total Body Sculpt series). I had 5 pound dumbbells on each hand and towards the end I was sputtering at the TV, "Gilad, you #@;*$%..!"



But he's the only trainer I come back to every time :-).
