Positive Momentum Fitness

The groups have been going on for 2 months. People ask me to post stuff but I’m too busy working 12 hours a day 6 days a week. Ty everybody. Also I love all the guys and gals who come to the groups.

The workout

Hills 15 mins with burpees
15 min core
30 mins of weights with running 40 yards down, doing push-ups, and coming back.
Boxing. Everybody gets one or two rounds of throwing punches! Jump roping, Dips on the dip bar, and lots more

This is my client and friend Kurt Tauber. We’ve been working together for about 10 years. He just turned 100 last Thursday. Amazing man. To give you some context he starts every session throwing 1500 punches. This is followed with dynamic stretching, sitting dumbell exercises with 5 pound weights, throwing a 10 pound medicine ball 5 feet back and forth (250 times), then more boxing punches (3000 total), then he lies on this table and does crunches, chest presses with 10 pound wts., and other exercises lying down supine.
Much more impressive is his life. He escaped N**i Germany in 1938 (age 16) from Vienna (where he was raised) right about the time the Wehrmacht was rolling in. His father sent him to his uncle who lived in Massachusetts. He then went on to Yale, time in the US Air Force, and eventually came to Williams in 1960 to teach political science until his retirement in 1993. Kurt is one of my all time favorite people. He is a gentleman to the highest degree and works his tail off in the gym. I love him.
I don’t post a lot on here but I felt this was a special occasion. Have a nice day.

Nice evening group headed towards the end of the outdoor season.

Evening workout tonight and Thursday is starting at 5:45 pm instead of 6 pm so we have more daylight.

Goin over old notes and if you do push-ups here’s how you can test yourself and see where you’re at.

Good basic information

Hills, burpees, boxing, push-ups, weights, and these damn burpees (2and a half minute planks too)!Left , right, and middle. Ouch! Great exercisers who show up and give it everything they have.

Good afternoon peeps. FYI the evening fitness groups are restarting at sweetwood outdoors at 6 pm Monday, May 17th. Every Monday and Thursday from 6-7 pm on the grass in front of Sweetwood. Hills, weights, boxing (mitt work), push-ups, sprints, running, skipping rope, and of course Burpees. It’s been over a year but we will get at it like we have in the past. Hope everybody is well. S

Many years ago a terrific client, Conlan Bradley, kept warning me about how I was gonna get hurt carrying equipment quickly and haphazardly in all weather conditions from my truck whenever we did an exercise session at his house. I didn’t want to take The long way (I was always hustling) so I wrote this unsolicited to pacify him and hence focus on the workout. More then 9 years later he showed me this letter having saved it and we had a laugh. He’s really not the litigious sort by the way. 9 years later and we are still getting after it. I got some great clients. Always have. Grateful. Also thanks to my stepbrother Michael Gallagher for teaching me many moons ago that “customer is king!”

Hi guys, I found out there’s a lot of price gouging goin on in trying to purchase weights. A 15 pound dumbbell that normally sells for 15 bucks is being offered around 80 dollars. Each. I have lots of weights and will loan people some of they wish. Send me a DM If interested.

One of the toughest and nicest people I know. ALWAYS doing things for others. And she has a nasty punch. Julie McAulay MacDonald!!

Good morning. Does anybody have any extra masks? In working a very limited schedule I need some to work with clients (I’m only doing one on one training now in peoples homes using their own equipment). As a rule I mask and glove for everybody and have run out. None to be had in stores. If anybody has any extra please let me know. I would be grateful. Thank you. S

I’ve been informed the Congo Church is closed at least through April 7 as per order of the governor. No fitness groups until then. Sorry. I’ll keep you posted.

Hello again, after group tonight (it was somewhat eerie) and getting feedback from most members, along with my brother in law Dr. Al Heilman (retired back surgeon and medical consigliere to all things in our family) all groups are suspended indefinitely. Thank you all for your feedback. Thank you Al. You are a great man and give so much more then you take. Contact me anybody If you wish to. Or call. S
