BLUE SKY STRONGBOX Training Compilation

This is what training looks like at the Blue Sky Strongbox. This was pre-Coronavirus, 2019-2020. My private facility is officially back open. Health is never more important than during such a time as the current pandemic. Safety and health are at the top of my list of priorities. I wish everyone well. Let’s make everything count.

Home Quarantine Workout #3 ADVANCED-iSH

 

View this post on Instagram

Here is a simple yet very effective home workout for anyone that is a bit more experienced and has access to a Barbell, or 2 Dumbells, or 2 Kettlebells, or a 45lb weight plate. It’s a little flow they call a “Complex”. It’s basically a series of exercises done altogether for a greater training effect. I’d recommend 5-10 reps for each movement for 2-5 sets. The first set would be your warmup and should be lighter. #coronatraining #austinpersonaltrainer #austinpersonaltraining #austinpersonaltrainers #blueskystrongbox

New Home Quarantine Workout video (INTERMEDIATE) posted to my YouTube page (it’s under Carlton Cullins). For some reason I can’t post any long videos on Instagram over 1 minute in length at this time. The YouTube video is almost 20 minutes long. The link is in my Instagram profile. Move your ass. Be safe. More stuff on the way… #blueskystrongbox #coronatraining #austinpersonaltrainer #austinpersonaltraining #austinpersonaltrainers #blueskystrongbox

My #1 Home Equipment Recommendation

View this post on Instagram

My #1 choice for anyone interested in exercising at home, specifically Strength Training. These are the same bands I use. I don’t have any affiliation with the wonderful @perform_better company (yet) but I’ve met the owner and employees many times and can’t recommend them enough. You can order directly from their website or Amazon. You only need ONE for now, and a door that closes “all the way”. To use, use put the door hanger anchor (included) in the space between the door and it’s hinges and shut the door completely so that’s it secure. Then you’re ready to go. You could also wrap it around a pole or solidly stationary object but it is a little risky and you must be careful not to damage the rubber. (Ask me how I know).They have 3 thicknesses available on Amazon. Light, medium and heavy. Light is very light but a good fit for someone who is not very strong at all. Medium is good for the average person. I personally like heavy. Sometimes I even double up. Keep in mind, anything can work as long as it’s stimulative. I have tons of free videos on my YouTube page (Carlton Cullins) and here on my Instagram, my website. You have no excuse not to move. Stay tuned for more at-home exercise videos. Stay safe y’all! #bssbbooks #austinpersonaltrainer #austinpersonaltraining #austinpersonaltrainers #exercisingathome #exercisetubing #lifelinecables #blueskystrongbox

Carlton’s Home Quarantine Workout #1 BEGINNER

View this post on Instagram

Stuck at home and feeling the need to move? I can help. Follow me through this BEGINNER workout. There are 4 clusters of exercises. All you need is enough room on the cleanish ground to lie down. This entire workout takes about 10 minutes for one round. If one round is enough for you, stop there. You could repeat this up to 5 times if need be. I also did my best to demonstrate other ways to make things a bit more challenging if needed. Keep in mind “harder” is only better if your form looks good and doing less is just not challenging for you. I should also add that doing “more” is rarely beneficial for anyone. Do something that is repeatable! Consistency is key! Start slow. Build strong. Never do anything that hurts. Understand that there is a difference in something that hurts and something that is uncomfortable. Exercise by its very nature should be slightly uncomfortable and challenging but don’t get carried away. For anyone with special challenges, write me and I will do my best to help. Consult with a medical professional if you have any serious medical issues.

Covid-19 general info

 

View this post on Instagram

The CDC recommends checking your temperature twice daily. It should be below 100.4°. If it’s not, stay your ass home. If you don’t feel 100%, stay your ass home. And if you do go out, limit the number of people you have to be around. Keep some distance from their face, some recommend 6 feet. Clean your hands before you go touching your face or touching food or handling anything that someone with a compromised immune system may use, especially infants and the elderly. Use common sense even if it’s not that common anymore. Be kind to your neighbors. Help others if you can. Get plenty of rest. Go for a walk every day. Get in some exercise. There are tons of ways to exercise at home with little or no equipment. Get comfortable cooking. Learn to cook if not. Read a book. Call an old friend or family member. Don’t hoard toilet paper. Be safe out there… #bssbbooks #blueskystrongbox

Boost the Immune System with a Daily Walk!

View this post on Instagram

There is no vaccine or medicine to get rid of this virus and there won’t be anytime soon. I don’t say this to scare anybody but to emphasize the importance of taking good care of our health right now. Obviously, staying home is the best thing most of us can do. Besides that, get plenty of rest. Eat well. Stay positive. Don’t over-exercise. Don’t over-work. Just chill. In today’s video I recommend daily waking. Walking outdoors is obviously the best option. Nothing too intense. Aim for 30min each day. Why? It promotes a healthy immune system and reduces stress. Everyone should know that if or when we do get sick, the only thing we can really do is ride it out… unless an emergency situation arises. Riding it out means the only “driver” in the car is our immune system. Don’t delay. Start today. #healthyimmunesystem #walkingforhealth #fightcaronavirus #austinpersonaltrainer #austinpersonaltraining #austinpersonaltrainers #blueskystrongbox
