Get With The Program: The Join The Band Workout
May 4th
Hi there! It’s Get With The Program time again. This workout was literally created in my driveway the other day when time ran short and I used my resistance bands and my bodyweight for an awesome workout. As I’ve mentioned before, I love the feel of using bands instead of traditional weights. Plus they’re portable, cheap, and super easy to use.
For this workout I had limited time, so for those of you on the go, or perhaps away on vacation or a business trip, it’s perfect. It should only take about 35 – 40 minutes and of course it’s a More >
Get With The Program: The Everything Butt… Workout
Apr 11th
It’s Get With The Program time again, where I give you a fantastic workout based on my twenty years in the fitness industry. Today’s workout is all about your rear end – also known as your cheeks, backside, or butt!
Don’t confuse size with functionality. J-Lo may have quite an asset, but that doesn’t mean it’s fit and in tip-top shape (figuratively speaking). Having great glute strength is crucial to your overall body strength. The glutes help stabilize your hips in most standing movements, can provide protection for the lower back, and assist in knee stabilizing- especially when your standing on one More >
Get With The Program: The Weight A Minute Workout
Apr 4th
Hi there – I hope you’re all doing terrific. It’s time for another Angry Trainer workout…
I really enjoy writing these programs for you and today is no exception.
Today’s full body workout is all about time – 1 minute to be exact. For each exercise you’ll perform a number of reps and keep moving for an entire minute. The idea is to not stop and continuously move from one exercise to the next, so choose your weights carefully. In addition, you’ll be alternating exercises from upper to lower body. This workout will show you that time has a way of sneaking More >
Get With The Program: The 50/50 Workout
Mar 21st
Hey everyone. How are you all doing? It’s Get With The Program time again…
Today I’m introducing 50/50, in which half of the workout is straight, full body weight training, and the other half consists of cardio and calisthenics.
The weight training features super-set style training, and you’ll be performing two exercises for the same muscle group back to back. In addition, the body is divided in half as well; upper and lower. The beauty of this workout is that YOU chose which half to do first – either weights or cardio. Try switching it each time for a new stimulus.

Get With The Program: Guns N’ Poses
Mar 15th
Hey there? How are your workouts going?
Today I’m giving you a workout right out of my bodybuilding playbook. I used to train my chest and biceps together at the start of each week. Yeah, it’s a bit slower paced than my famous circuits, but it does pack on the muscle! Give it a go for an added stimulus.
Why is it called the Guns N’ Poses workout? Well the fact is a lot of people only train the muscles they can see in the gym mirror, earning the nickname “mirror bodybuilders”. And few muscles get flexed and posed as much as the More >
Diet Diagnosis: The Bodybuilder Diet
Mar 9th
I’m sure that many of you know that iron runs through my blood and I competed in amateur bodybuilding for a number of years.
My roots were obviously in the physique competition arena and truly helped shape the person you see here before you. In case you’re not familiar with who I am, check out my fitness evolution here. Needless to say, I adopted a lot of the eating habits of bodybuilders and used them to manipulate my body mass to build myself up.
So for this week’s Diet Diagnosis I’m looking at some of the common practices that bodybuilders use in More >
ASK ALFONSO: WINTER WORKOUTS
Nov 26th
Hi there Alfonso,
My question concerns motivation and getting my butt to the gym.
I live in New York and I can already feel the winter months closing in and the temperature dropping. My concern – I really struggle to work out when it starts getting cold!
You see I work out in the mornings before I go to work and I find it REALLY hard to get out of bed on a cold, dark day and drag myself to the gym – especially for a full on workout. It’s just always so much easier to work out in the summer months.
So I More >
