Get Your Head As Invigorated As Your Body!

CM SEAL Team blogger: Mike Ryan

Charlie Mike Fans! By now you have probably been exposed to Marty Heilman and some of the incredible exercises he's developed for Perfect Products. But the images only scratch the surface of Marty's expertise. And I believe his dedication and commitment to pushing the boundaries of fitness merit a more formal introduction.

Marty is a rare breed. I can count on one hand the number of times I left a training session with my head as invigorated as my body. That's Marty's secret to success - and why his classes and seminars are standing room only. Marty's workouts are kind of like getting kicked in the nuts during a Tony Robbins seminar. Though pushed to the point of puking, you somehow feel the need to thank him. Marty keeps you motivated, and the workouts keep your body in a state of constant adaptation to new stressors - just like all workouts should. He's a functional fitness freak. And if you attend one of Marty's classes I guarantee you'll be sore in places you never knew existed.

Just try some of the exercises he'll be posting and you'll get the point.

My favorite part of Marty's workouts is at the end. He circles up the class and screams into his headset, "Turn around and take a look at everyone else in this gym! I guarantee nobody in here today worked harder than you just did! Nobody else just burned 1500 calories in their workout!" It really pisses off the 'big and round' crew. I can tell because they are wringing their soft, weight glove covered mitts.

So enjoy his posts and give the exercises a shot. You'll be better for it.
