CLASSES OUTDOORS THIS SUMMER

Check out how the champions-of-champions spent their Memorial Day: MEMORIAL DAY MELTDOWN 2013 ON SANTA CRUZ BEACH

Once you watch that video and see your fellow fitness buffs in action, please SUBSCRIBE to my YouTube Channel! I post mostly fitness-related videos, but also other assorted shenanigans that I love to have SUBSCRIBERS seeing on a weekly/monthly basis! -------------------------------------

Workout outdoors as much as possible! Eight weeks ago, in the middle of our "spring showers" or "spring snowstorms" (depending on where you are) I cited a New York Times article championing the benefits of working out in a non-climate-controlled setting.

When you're in a gym or inside of any kind of room, the natural elements have no effect on you. Training to suck less at everyday life should involve dealing with things like heat, wind, precipitation, slippery surfaces, distractions, animals, noise, sh*t falling from the sky, etc.

VEGFIT WORKOUT TIP OF THE WEEK:

Get your ass out-of-doors and confront the wild, wild world this week. Whether it's an Ironman Triathalon or 10 jumping jacks in your backyard, breathe that fresh air and feel those uneven surfaces underneath your feet. It will strengthen your ankles and deepen your appreciation for the great outdoors!

OUR HISTORY IN PICTURES!

First class I co-taught with Denise at Gold's Gym Santa Cruz, Summer 2010.

All props to Denise Smith- she was a great instructor to have and train under. Inspired me to want to do this on my own one day! www.herbivoreathletics.com

First photo shoot, compliments of David Bednar, Spring 2012. Two of my fellow Santa Cruz Power Fitness trainers (and their muscular legs) up in this shot! Joe and Mia WOOT WOOT!

Had to grab the Black and White drama shot! I still love this one to this day. Representing my college alma mater, Syracuse and all! What an amazingly fit class too, right? Look at them! So proud of all of you. March 2012

As we outgrew Santa Cruz Power Fitness, The Tannery World Dance and Cultural Center became home to THE BADNESS. Thanks to Muscle Man Sal for taking all of the pictures on this day. June 2012

This was a group that gave me SO MUCH SUPPORT during my training for my first bodybuilding contest. If you're in this particular picture, know that I owe it all to you. This was right before my July show. July 2012.

Sometimes you just want to show off a little bit! Hard work pays off. See any love handles here? Sonia and Dana don't think so!

When TWO PRUSINOWSKIS are in one room, you know the cameras come out! A Pruz visited B Pruz this Monday in November 2012.

Post-Super Bowl "O-Faces" Seriously insane class (thanks Issac the Amazing 7 Year Old Perez for the picture with his iPad!) February 2013

Sometimes we can't help ourselves. Outta Control, Winter 2013. Love you guys/gals <3

Loved the rope climbs in last Wednesday's WOD. Great skill to have.

Climb and conquer! To the ceiling of the Jefferson State box!

He's wonderfully motivating, encouraging, and fun to work with. I love that he works the class with intervals - the most effective way to train - and a variety of moves from session to session.

"I've taken kickboxing classes with several instructors but Billy is the most challenging, motivational and energetic teacher I've had. His class is fast-paced, sweat inducing and fun. While there may be times during the class where you feel like you just have no energy left Billy helps you power though and you feel great afterwards..it's definitely a total body workout..."
