Chicago native Brian Kirshenbaum is a professional comedy magician who in 2004, after 10+ years of performing turned his attention to his other passion, fitness. Now after over 3 decades performing and almost 20 years working as a personal trainer and strength coach, he's on a mission to help you have more fun through both laughter and exercise!
Laughing 9-5
Much like exercise, when you laugh:
- Your heart rate speeds up
- Your blood pressure elevates
- Your rate of breathing increases
- You experience muscular tension
- It feels good
- Boosts your immune system
- Brings people closer together
- Stimulates blood flow and oxygen to your brain for greater productivity
- And so much more!

After almost 20 years of personal training and strength coaching, I've come to believe we need three things: Commitment, consistency and patience. And of these three, consistency is the key. That's why my approach to workout program design is rooted in simplicity for consistency. But do not confuse simplicity with easy, you will be challenged based on your current level of fitness.
