When I was a child, I used to love to use the monkeybars. Unfortunately there are not too many sets of monkeybars around any more,(the joys of our society). If you think about what you can do on a set of monkeybars, you can see that they can give you a great upperbody workout and really work the flexibility and mobility of the shoulder girdle.
There has been a move over the last few years away from the standard weight training workout toward a more functional, fun approach based on similar movements to the “workouts” we had as children. One of the movers and shakers in this area is Jon Hinds and his Monkeybar Gym.
In this video, John demonstates some good training options while in a playground.
If you like what you see, the Monkeybar Gym has a set of DVD’s available on their training. I will review these shortly. To check them out click on the image below.

It is very easy to fall into patterns. In relation to training, one pattern people fall into is doing the same general workout whenever they train. An example of this might be a weights session followed by some time on the treadmill and then some stretching. As it stands this is a good training format but doing the “same” session time and time again can result in lack of progress, reduced enthusiasm and boredom. It is a great idea to at least occasionally do something different, instead of a weights session, get outside and “play” in a park, do some strongman training, do a short introduction to “pick your sport/activity” class and have some fun. You will probably find that your motivation and enthusiasm for training inceases and your training results improve.

In a recent blog post Mike Roussell, author of The Naked Nutriton Guide discussed the value of eating locally produced produce rather that eating certified organic food. I think there is a lot of benefit in eating truly fresh (just picked) produce compared to that which you get in your local supermarket. It’s an interesting read and definitely worth checking out.
