They were designed to do traditional strength training exercises for group classes and they are portable enough for personal training sessions at the club or in-home.

The Equalizer targets muscles we love to hate. It works the triceps, lower abs and back muscles like no other. Participants use their own body weight as resistance and decide what level is right for them (resistance is variable as the legs can be used to assist the exercise).

The Equalizer is safe and most importantly will add an new exciting dimension to your workouts!

10 Mile Road Race - Narraganssett Blessing of the Fleet


Well, this years 10 mile race went well considering I never ran over 5 miles leading up to it. The weather was very accommodating this year as opposed to the blistering heat or extreme thunderstorms experienced over the last couple of years.

My time this year was 1:30:42 (I think). Very happy with that considering my running leading up to it.

We had a small running group this year showing off the Precision Fitness running tops.

That's me (left to right) pointing out Brent's "nipple pins", Jill, and Jay.

They all did beat me to the finish line where we hooked up with the Ultimate Sports Massage team for a free rub down!!

Great race and a great time!

Until next year...

Make Your Heart Strong & Healthy


This week's Weight Loss Challenge topic is heart health. There are 3 key components to making your heart healthy.


  1. EXERCISE - Find something you enjoy doing and do it. Try for 30 minutes per day. Definitely get a mix of cardio and strength training. For a combo of both in ONE Workout check out: http://www.youtube.com/user/tcambio17

  2. EAT Well - include lean protein, healthy fats water and lots of fruits & veggies! Get lots of colors in too! Schedule 4-5 regular meals.

  3. SLEEP - 8 hours a day is recommended :)

  4. Supplements - Since it is often difficult to get all the nutrients you need from food alone, I recommend supplements. For heart health, supplements can fill the gap in your diet. Call or email me for options.

We have over 100,000 miles of arteries, veins and capillaries in our bodies - blood needs to flow freely! If it doesn't it could lead to heart attacks or strokes.


17 million people die of heart disease each year. There are 1.2 million heart attacks in the U.S. each year, so take care of your heart!

Why a Proper Golf Fitness Training Program Will Improve Your Golf Game

Are you like many golfers who take lesson after lesson and don’t seem to improve? Well, it might be due to lack of proper conditioning.

A golf specific strength and conditioning training program may be the answer for you. Stronger muscles, bones, and connective tissue all contribute to a better golf game and a reduction in your chances of getting injured.

Regular exercise can also bring on improvements in balance, muscle control and range of motion that can help improve your swing. Whether you're a novice or tournament player, you certainly want to perform as well as you can.

Here are three important aspects of your swing that proper conditioning will significantly improve:

1. Swing range by improving your joint flexibility.
2. Swing speed by developing your muscle strength.
3. Swing power by training your postural balance and coordination.

Improving your golf game through better physical fitness is a must for getting better. Adam Schriber of Crystal Mountain Resort in Thompsonville, MI (Golf Magazine Top 100 Teachers in America) says most amateurs don’t improve because they are “under -trained and fail to retain their innate movement patterns.”

Adam also goes on to say that you must train to make change and incorporating a proper fitness program will “improve your technique and free your mind so that you can swing like an athlete.” (Golf Magazine, 2009)

Of course, this type of fitness program should include cardiovascular activity and appropriate nutrition. According to Todd M. Cambio, Strength and Conditioning Specialist and Owner of Precision Fitness, “the primary focus of any golf specific program should be on safe, sensible, effective and efficient exercises designed to make you feel better and play better.”

Kick Butt Kettlebell Classes!




Whether you’re trying to build or tone muscle, increase your metabolism, or burn fat, you should incorporate a cardio routine and some form of strength training.

Well, here is the perfect solution to combining both:

KETTLEBELLS!

Kettlebell workouts focus on full-body movements consisting of lifting, swinging, and balancing differently weighted kettlebells, which are basically cast iron cannonballs with handles.

You’ll feel it most in your hips, butt, thighs, and arms at first. In fact, you’ll feel it for days. But, the midsection and back do their share of the work too.

It’s the perfect workout for women looking sculpt their curves and tighten the backs of their arms. It’s great for men trying to turn that keg in their midsection into a 6-pack.

So if you are ready for something new, then contact Todd today at 401-489-0551.

Class Times:

9:30 am Tuesday & Thursday (until June 25th then new July Schedule)
6 pm Mondays & Wednesdays

Are Your Kids On A Sugar High?


Kids get WAY too much sugar. It is estimated that kids get a staggering 29 grams of unrefined sugar per day!

This is leading to a number of problems and health issues including: obesity, hyperactivity (ADHD & ADD), increased rate if injuries, early onset of diabetes and more...

So if you think giving your kids a pop tart and juice is healthy, think again! Their blood sugar levels are going on a roller coaster ride to Unhealthyville!

This information also applies to we adults too. We mainly buy the food that we both eat.

When purchasing foods, read the labels. Manufacturers will try and hide the amount of sugar in products by using several different sugars so they do not have to use "Sugar" as the first ingredient listed on the food label.

For weight loss, avoid all those extra carbs and look for protein sources first.

Obtain your sugar sources naturally through fresh fruits and veggies and whole grain choices.

Here are some more tips:


  • Limit fruit juices, even though they could be all natural, they are very high in calories. Eat the fresh fruit of the juice you want to drink instead.


  • Rather than adding syrup to pancakes and waffles, try adding sliced fresh fruit and/or some vanilla low fat yogurt.


  • Look to whole grain cereal without added sugars and top with sliced bananas, berries or other fruits that you like. This applies to hot cereals like oatmeal too.


  • Keep healthy snacks handy like whole fruits/veggies, cut veggies, low fat yogurt, Herbalife protein bars, almonds, etc. so you won’t be tempted to eat sweets.


  • Instead of baked goods for dessert, try frozen bananas. They taste like ice cream when frozen. Add a little chocolate syrup (not hot fudge) and enjoy! Sorbet is a good choice here as well.


  • For our kids, really pay attention to what you are feeding them. It is estimated by the Journal of the American Dietetic Association that kids are getting a staggering 29 grams of unrefined sugar per day which is leading to a number of problems and health issues.
Hope this helps. Please be aware of what you put in your body and your kids.

Be Fit,

Todd
