But mainly try to focus on the TRUE meaning of CHRISTmas.

WINTER FITNESS

Last night and today in Wisconsin we got blasted with snow.  

I know of so many people that will hurt their backs shoveling or using a snowblower.

Can this be avoided or minimized?

The truth is you can minimize your risk of injury by getting as strong as possible.

As we age our muscle decreases unless we stick with a strength training lifestyle.

You can even get a great workout click the video below to see what I mean

How Business Success is Like Fitness Success

While starting Fitness4u LLC there are some amazing similarities between transforming a business and transforming your body.

1. Both take discipline
If you are changing your body and trying to get fit you will need discipline. Daily, weekly, monthly goals and doing the challenging things over and over again. The same is true of building a business.

2. Both take action
I know that learning is important but until you take MASSIVE ACTION on both your body transformation and your business success will elude you.

3. Both require help from others
You might like doing things on your own but we all need help sometimes. This is true in business and in fitness.

4. Both take perseverance
This one could be number one. You must refuse to fail at both. It takes a plan of hard and smart work to make both happen. I learned it in fitness and am realizing it in business. This is the number one reason for fitness and weight loss failure and in business as well.

5. You must change
For business to succeed you must change based on what works. The same is true with fitness and I see people making the same mistakes over and over again which will lead to failure.

Fitness and business success are highly correlated. You must make a decision to understand that for LONG TERM FITNESS SUCCESS you must be disciplined, take action, find help, persevere, and continually change.

REALITY TV REALITY FITNESS

What makes reality TV so good?

What makes it so popular?

Growing up as a child reality TV did not exist.  

Now it is on what seems to be almost every single night.

Here are some things that make reality television so great

1.  There is no acting and this makes it more true for most people.

2.  Most shows usually represent someone we know or even ourselves

3.  Lessons about life are learned most of the time

4.  Unlike the news (which is real) it is much more positive.  

5.  Most of us wonder what it would be like if we were in their shoes.  What would we do?  With regular TV this is much different because it is not as realistic.  

6.  The outcome is never clear.

Why does this matter?  

Because I want you to know that this blog is a reality blog.  

I am a normal person (just like you) working to do extraordinary things.  

I promise to tell you the truth, give you real facts, and focus on real people that are getting real results.

Watching the Secret Millionaire tonight made me realize that life is so important and helping people is what makes the world go round.  I hope that I get the honor of serving you through helping you reach all your fitness goals.

Jeremy

PS Please watch the Secret Millionaire and tell me how it made you feel.

Before and Afters

Here are some before and after photos using my program.  These are actual twelve week photos and I am doing this only to prove that you can have profound changes in a short time using my fitness system.  

About Me

Normally I do my best to write about you but today I am going to talk about myself.  I want you (the reader) to get to know me on a more personal level.  

Currently, I am a fitness professional and fitness expert in New Berlin, Wisconsin but more about that in a bit.

I grew up in rural Minnesota about 15 minutes outside of Winona, Minnesota in a township that does not exist on any maps.... at least that I know about.  If you really want to know it is called Wilson, Minnesota and I bet you will be unable to find a census on this tiny place that does not exist on most if not all maps.  

My parents were and still are blue collar workers.  Hard workers living the rural Minnesota life and both worked hard to raise me the best they knew how.  Throughout my childhood my focus was on SPORTS.  I played baseball first (my first love) and basketball which ended up consuming my life in a positve way I guess.  Literally, I would shoot baskets in -10 degree weather.  I never gave up and I maximized my potential.  A discipline I am doing my best at incorporating into my currentl fitness business.  I want to thank all of my school coaches for helping me learn what it takes to be successful with life.  Most importantly for the relationships we have built.  THANK YOU

My basketball skills brought me to Milwaukee, Wisconsin (Wisconsin Lutheran College) where I developed a love for this city, made new and lifelong friends, and just felt at home.  It took a year or so but that would have happened anywhere, I think.  By my Junior year I started playing baseball again.  I had pretty good success considering I had not played for a few years.  In fact, I almost broke an NCAA record.  

After college I had trouble finding my passion but once I got started with fitness I realized where I wanted to be.  Fitness is my calling and helping people learn the TRUTH.  There is so much fiction out there and I truly want you to know the truth.  I will never give up with my message that you can get fit in less time and for less money with the right help.  Fad dieting, quick solutions, magic solutions, super easy results, and tons of cardio are not the truth for long term weight loss.  

When I first started in fitness, I made well below the poverty level.  YES I made very little money through fitness.  But I knew I had a passion for it and I knew that I was very good at it.I worked for companies and at one point I was training about 50-80 sessions per week and was doing ok financially but not mentally.  I love what I do but 50-80 sessions per week is not a career.  Finally, I started my own company, my own vision, and truly wanted to help more people and this was the only way how.  

Here are some concepts important to me

God

Family

Friends

Clients

Health

Vitality

Passion

Truth

Teamwork

America

Philanthropy

Kindness 

I hope that this has helped you get to know me better.  

Thanks,

Can You Do To Much Cardio?

So I was in the club today and someone said "I lost 15lbs in 2 weeks" 

This seems awesome and trust me I want to be happy for him.

But I have seen this over and over again.

I am worried for him.

People lose weight to fast by doing something excessive and gain all the weight back and more.

Ask yourself these questions:

How much muscle did he lose?

Is his metabolism faster?

Can he maintain this forever?

What is the key to long term weight loss?

And after I said "you might be doing too much cardio"

He said "you can NEVER do to much cardio!"

I could not believe what I was hearing. 

I truly felt said and disappointed for this person.

Why?  Because we had discussed in detail the 

SOLUTION FOR LONG TERM WEIGHT LOSS!

WHAT IS THE TRUTH?

The truth is most people do way to much cardio and not enough strength training.

The truth is most people are in the gym way to long and never see results.

The truth is cardio is NOT the key to long term weight loss.

Trying to lose weight through cardio alone leads to failure.

I am not saying cardio is not important but I am saying that it is overused.

Will you get back up when you fail at fitness?

This weekend was an excellent learning experience for me.

My neice had a skating competition.

She is  very young at about 5 years old.

I do not know how many girls and boys, including Mariah, fell down but it was the majority.

So did these boys and girls get back up? Of course they did or they would never get any better.

The TRUTH is the children that never quit are the ones that end up being the best.  

The problem with those trying to get fit this new year is they will fall down.

They may not see results so then they give up.

They might get sick and not come back.

They might fall back  into an unhealthy habits.

They might not even have a good reason at all, just some lame excuse.

What if you kept going after" falling down"?  

What if failing was not a choice?

What if you never gave up?

What if you were like my neice Mariah in this video and you kept gettting back up?

The fall is at 50-60 seconds point!!

Never give up always give more,

Jeremy

7 Holiday Tips to Prevent Packing on the Pounds

Avoiding holiday weight gain is not impossible but it is challenging.  I want to make it as easy as possible for you to avoid gaining weight, going up in sizes, and giving up your routine this holiday season.  Here are your tips:

1.) Keep up with an exercise routine.  

Exercise becomes even more important if your eating habits get worse.  And lets all admit it 90% of us eat worse during the Holidays.  If you are currently not exercising you might want to start now.  Take it slow but add activity in to avoid the weight gain this year.

2.) Eat often and eat some good foods especially protein and fiber foods.

This one tip could save you this Holiday.  I am not against eating any "bad food" for most that would not be realistic.  In fact you should instead focus on getting in some healthy foods everyday during the holiday.  This will curb your appitite. Especially if you are eating protein and fiber foods.  Focus on getting fruits, veggies, lean meats, meal replacement bars and shakes.  

3.)  Drink water 

Water competes for space in your stomach and truly helps decrease appetite. For every plate you eat, try to drink at least 1-2 glasses of water. After that second plate, when you have 1 full liter of water in your stomach, I bet you might just throw in the towel!  If you need something to add to water try some tea or crystal light.  

4.) Eat slow especially during those big sit down meals

I fyou eat to fast you will eat more food.  By eating slower you help the brain realize when the stomach is full.  By doing this you might avoid some uneeded sugar and fat calories.   

5.)  Get rid of guilt

Nobody is perfect and we all slip up during the holidays.  If and when this happens start over and forget the past.  So many people will eat more out of this guild and it becomes a terrible cycle.  Please do not fall into this trap just start fresh and guilt free.

6.) Limit liquid calories including alcohol.

 Just by cutting juices, soday, and alcohol during the holida season you can save yourself a ton of calories.  For example lets say you are going to have 500 of liquid calories a day for one month.  This would add up to 15,000 calories by the end of the month.  If you cut that number down to 200 that would be 6000 calories for the month.  Whatever number it comes out to limit alcohol and fruit juices alone will help you keep the weight off!

7.) Try using sugar subsitutes and other healthy alternatives.  

There are so many ways to cut calories and change unhealthy food to good or even great foods.  For example when making pie use stevia or other low calorie alternatives.  Drink tea instead of soda.  Focus on using the best ingredients when baking and making foods.  Trust me it does not make foods taste that different.  Plus ask yourself "is it worth it to make these little changes?"

There you have 7 tips to help you this holiday season

Disturbing TRUTH You Might Not Like

Fitness pros get a bad rap at times. And hey, sometimes it's well deserved. It's unfortunate, but there are still way too many "meat head" trainers who are more interested in looking at themselves in a mirror than they are in their own clients. For those of you that know me personally, you will know it is my sincere desire that you become as healthy and fit as you possibly can!

But we also take heat at times for being too interested in looks and appearance than health and wellness.

Well, I'm going to fill you in on a little secret. We've tried to market our businesses by educating people about the health benefits of proper nutrition and exercise. We'd love for people to care more about their health than how they look.

Unfortunately, and this holds true for the vast majority of people, they only care about their health once they've lost it.

Think about that for a little bit.

I can tell you right now the unscrupulous marketers online are making a FORTUNE promoting these Acai Berry pills right now. And they are able to do that because they are promoting it as weight loss and not the real benefit of Acai Berry.

It is the "magic pill" of the day. If you've been paying attention to the weight loss market you'll know it used to be Hoodia.

Now, you might not like it, but I'm not going to be the one to lie to you. I'm not going to be the one to tell you take this little pill and watch the weight fall off. THERE IS NO EASY MAGICAL SOLUTION!

Acai Berry is a heck of an antioxidant that can help your body fight the aging process and help boost your immune system, but it's not going to flush the excess pounds off your belly, butt, hips and thighs. Sorry.

Now my friends at http://jeremy.getprograde.com have an amazing product that includes Acai Berry as one of its main ingredients. But unlike those that preach the "one pill wonder" miracle solution, they only promote their product for what it is; a very powerful Antioxidant formula to help boost your health.

So if your health is of interest to you then definitely check out http://jeremy.getprograde.com/longevity

Sorry if this is frustrating to you but I feel obligated to tell you the TRUTH. I'm here to shed the whole truth fo you. It's up to YOU to decide whether or not your health is more valuable to you than your appearance.

Yours in health,

Jeremy Belter

PS - Again, if you value your health and want help with the aging process I can't recommend http://jeremy.getprograde.com/longevity to you enough.

Are You a Fitness Expert?

It happens all the time.  Someone will ask me a fitness question and I will start to tell them what is the answer from a fitness professionals point of few.  At that point some people become Fitness Experts magically.  People are going to do what they want but if you want the truth ask a fitness professional that knows.  Listen Up here... Just because someone loses 50lbs on the green bean diet does not mean they are more fit or more healthy.  

Heck if you run for a day straight and do not eat anything you will lose weight (This is not my advice so DONT DO IT. This is just to make a point).  In any weight loss effort your goal is to lose fat not muscle and it is definitely not to starve yourself!!

People will talk in terms of what they have either done, or are going to do.  COME ON if you are not a fitness expert and if you want to learn the truth let the experts help.  Fitness people want to help they really do it is in their blood.  Take advice when the person is an expert.  It is amazing how people will take advice from Uncle Joe, Aunt May, Grandma Ethel, Grandpa Joe, or any other person on the street. Always question the source and ask "is what they are telling me fundamental for long term fitness and health or just a quick weight loss gimmick?"  

To your fitness success,

Jeremy

The 4 tips for a “fat free” Holiday Season!

It is that time of year again.  Were families get together and share the joy of Christmas.  On the same lines parties arise, eating increases, workouts fall by the wayside, and people gain weight.  Gaining weight for the holidays is like having a Christmas tree.  It is guaranteed to be there and to stay around for awhile after the holidays.  Is there hope?  This year let us avoid the holiday weight gain by following these 4 tips.

Stick with a workout routine even if that means exercising only one time a week!

Many people pack it in during the Holidays altogether.  This leads to frustration, disappointment, and in some cases not returning to exercise for months.  Although, one time a month is not optimal it is better than none.  Try to do an intense weight training session followed by some intervals.  This will maximize caloric burn and help avoid holiday weight gain.  So if you are unable to stick to your normal routine at least do one workout per week during this holiday season. 

Burn more calories every day!

You can burn calories during the holidays by not using escalators while shopping.  You can park further away when running errands.  Have fun with the kids.  For example you could go sledding and run up the hill.  Whatever the fun activity is try to maximize how much you mover throughout the day you can burn a significant amount of calories just by focusing on this one factor.

Make it a workout!

Make your daily activities into a workout.  If you have snow, shovel it at a rapid pace work up a sweat and give it your all.  If you are shopping lift those bags up and down while walking.  Try to move fast while cleaning the house for company.  These are just some of the ways to keep burning calories during the holidays. 

The 5 minute workout!

You might not be able to do any of the above so here is the quickest option to you.  Right after you wake up and right before bed do a quick workout.  Pick full body workouts such as squat presses, pushups, jumping jacks and so on. Do as many reps as you can of the exercises you chose in 5 minutes.  This will take very little time and can be done by most people.  No matter what you chose please stick with a routine and don’t throw in the towel over the holidays.  Start the new resolution today.  It will make easier for you when the New Year arrives.  

To a fat free holiday,

Jeremy

Happiness Through Fitness

While watching the movie "Pursuit of Happyness" for a second time something dawned on me. Those that overcome great odds to accomplish something really appreciate it when they reach that milestone. What were some of the characteristics that may have led to Chris Gardner's happiness?

Here they are:

1. Determination

2. Hope

3. Desire

4. Passion

5. Tenacity

6. LOVE

Throughout the movie he focused on his child. It was the LOVE for his child that made him never give up. Remember you are getting fit and healthy for your family. So you can be with them for a long time and teach them your positive principles. NEVER GIVE UP and know why you are doing this? The stronger your why reasons the better and more successful your accomplishments will be. Do you have a strong enough why?

To your happiness,

Jeremy

FAT LOSS ON BLACK FRIDAY

This may or may not apply to you in regards to Black Friday, but chances are it applies to your life one way or another.

You see, I predict that untold numbers of people got up super early today and went shopping on Black Friday. I also  predict these folks either skipped breakfast or grabbed something sugary on the way out the door.

Then at some point, when their shopping frenzy has begun to die down, they'll plop down at a food court and load up on greasy fast food or something very close.

Not good for fat loss. Not good at all.

If  you want to shed pounds and inches you just have to eat a solid breakfast. It sets the tone for your metabolism for the entire day. Taking the time to plan what you're going to eat for breakfast the night before is more than worth the time if you're serious about melting fat off your frame.

But look, sometimes you just don't have time for it. Sometimes it's the day after a holiday and you're not firing on all cylinders. No reason to fret. You can reach for a great tasting meal replacement shake that will stoke your metabolism  and help you burn fat all day long.

People ask me all the time what brand I recommend. Simple: Prograde Lean. Why? Because it tastes amazing and will keep you full for hours. It's just what the fitness pro ordered on a day like Black Friday.

If you'd like to try Prograde Lean for yourself, well, if you hurry you can get it on sale today. The Prograde Nutrition Thanksgiving Week Sale ends TODAY at 11:59pm EST. You can save 11% off all of their products. All you need to do is use their coupon code when you checkout.

For instance, if you want to order Prograde Lean  just go here: http://jeremy.getprograde/lean

Place your order. And when you get to the coupon code simply type in the word:

thanks

(Yes, that's the word 'thanks'  in all lower case letters)

If you're a busy person on the go, and you're serious about fat loss, then I highly recommend giving Prograde Lean a try. I know it took them nine months of taste-testing to get the chocolate flavor just perfect. It really is delicious!

Yours in health,

Jeremy

PS - Again, the sale ends TONIGHT, so if you're thinking some Prograde Lean would make your life easy then you need to order right away before you forget. http://jeremy.getprograde.com/lean

How much do we eat at thanksgiving?

Can you imagine eating 3000 calories?

Well it is estimated this is how many calories are consumed at an average Thanksgiving feast.

No wonder why we all gain weight over the holidays.

However, where some people may gain a pound of fat or more from this single meal, you could be one of the few smart ones who eats more turkey on Turkey Day and less of the other high-fat and/or high carb foods like stuffing, mashed potatoes and gravy, and all those tasty pies!

You can eat any treats but it must be in MODERATION. Focus on having your treats but make sure you eat plenty of the good foods along with water. After all turkey is loaded with lean protein that will help you build muscle, burn fat, and control your typically insatiable holiday appetite.

Try to maintain exercise during the Holidays and always focus on eating throughout the day. You know of uncle (lets call him BOB) who does not eat all day and gorges at the Thanksgiving meal. You will want to avoid being remotely close to uncle Bob!

To make this transition as seamless as possible for you, today I am going to show you how use your left over Thanksgiving turkey to build muscle and burn fat ;)

The Acai Berry Myth

You can't really miss it on the Internet these days. Seems like everywhere you look there's another company promoting the nutritious Acai Berry as a weight loss miracle.

And that's why I thought it was critical to write you today. I want to make sure you know my opinion on the subject.

First, you know better than to believe you're going to pop some pills - ANY pills - and have the pounds and inches melt off like magic. If you've been listening to me for any length of time you know true fat loss comes from a variety of factors, including exercise and proper nutrition. THERE IS NO MIRACLE QUICK FIX!  

Second, any fitness expert worth their fees will tell you that any diet that promotes you eat any one food all day long and then eat a sensible dinner, well, don't bother. Yes, you will lose some weight short-term, but as soon as you go back to your old eating habits - and you know you will - you know exactly what happens.

Third, the Acai Berry contains VERY powerful antioxidants and it is getting a lot of good press for that very reason. Yes, antioxidants as in the extraordinary nutrients that help fight the free radicals associated with aging, cancer risk and other degenerative diseases.

And while on the subject, I wanted to fill you in on something that has recently come to light. Did you know that coffee berries (the berry that covers the coffee bean) is one of the most powerful antioxidants on the planet? It's something researchers have discovered in recent years.

What's really cool is my friends at Prograde Nutrition have just created an amazing Whole Foods based Anti-Aging formula called Prograde Longevity that includes both Acai Berry and Coffee Berry. Oh, and it also utilizes Green Tea, Pomegranate, Wolf Berry and Biovin Grape (Red Wine extract.)

Just to give you an idea of how powerful this formula is, well, you'd have to eat an entire POUND of raspberries to get the same ORAC value. And in case you're not familiar with the term, ORAC stands for Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity.

The best part is their having a Thanksgiving Week sale to celebrate the launch of Prograde Longevity. From now until Friday you can get 11% off Longevity or any of their other exclusive products they offer.

You can check out Prograde Longevity for yourself by clicking here

Just be sure to enter this coupon code in when you checkout: (yes, it's all lower case)

thanks

Oh, and just so you know, you can't find Prograde products in stores anywhere. They're so exclusive they only let fitness experts work with their company to help them get the word out.

The 7 Stages of Fitness

As I see it people have stages they go through when it comes to becoming healthy and fit. Here are the top stages of fitness.

1. The decline phase

2. The quick fix phase

3. The sick and tired phase

4. The education phase

5. The decision phase

6. The action phase

7. The accomplishing phase

The first stage is a decline in fitness from your past peak fitness level. Most people have declined significantly but almost all have declined in their fitness level.

It would be nice if everyone would skip the Trying Phase. It is the magic pill phase. Some believe it will work, some know deep down inside it won't but want to give one more miracle solution a try. Others just do not want to pay the price for results, so they take the easy route filled with frustration and no long term results.

The next step invovles pain or getting great pleasure. The person realized that they need to change what they are doing. It is not working. Everything they tried was in vein. If someone is not to this phase it is challenging for them to see the light. They think they can do some crazy diet or just lift a couple of weights and bam they are in great shape! COME ON... IT DOES NOT WORK THIS WAY!!!

The education phase involves searching for the TRUTH. They find out what works and what has worked for others. They consider actually investing in themselves to become fit and healthy.

The decision phase is simple but crucial. They make a conscious decision to change not just a half hearted attempt. This is a crucial phase because if you are not truly ready, and do not have enough reasons why you will give up. Although anyone can do this not everyone is going to. There is work involved. This is a great phase because people are ready to start to take action.

The action phase is the stage where people pay the price. My clients are in this phase and invest to move through this phase quickly.

The last phase is crucial because people need to keep moving forward. They have to focus on setting challenging but attainable goals. This phase insures lifelone success and continual progression.

What phase are you in?
What can you do today to move to a better phase?
What would you need to succeed.

To a fit life,

Jeremy

The Secret

One of my star clients and I were talking about potential clients. Many times people come up to my clients and ask her what their secret to success is. They say if only I had a trainer, I would be fit. They think that they can do some light walking or magic diet. They believe they can do a couple exercises or walk on the treadmill. They believe they will be told from the source to eat only grapefruit and they will have the MAGIC ANSWER!

We discussed instead of coming to me they will come to clients. Why? Because they are looking for that MIRACLE SOLUTION. When people come to me and I say it is going to take effort+time+action+lifestyle change+nutritional changes=MIRACLES... they tune that out. Or they get mad at me for telling them the truth. I do not consider myself mean but I have gotten much more direct because people need to know that this can be done but not everyone is going to do it. If you want to try some diet or light easy exercise then this is not for you. If you want to truly work at getting fit for life or keeping weight off forever then you are at the right place.

My Message To You

A friend and I were eating lunch the other day. By the way this friend is a genius (yet humble) and has a knack for evaluating things differently from anyone I know. He told me that this blog has a definitive message. What is that message? There are 7 points to it

Anyone can get fit
You can do it through shorter workouts
Intensity is far more important then putting in more time
Emulate an athlete or fitness expert in actions and thought
Action is more important then knowledge
Focus on lifestyle changes and get appropriate help
NEVER GIVE UP

There you have it. If you do these things you will have great success. Remember that the best athletes have lots of help to get to where they are at. If that is true don't you think the average person could benefit from help as well.

Have a fit day,

Jeremy

CAN BOOT CAMPS BE DANGEROUS?

Fitness Boot Camps are growing at a rapid pace in the fitness industry. They have so many great attributes such as low investment and high return on results. They provide expert leadership with a social aspect but at the same time are great workouts.

On the other hand, boot camps can have a downside. Many fitness instructors want to start and run a boot camp without having the necessary skills to do so. Here are 10 tips to a safe and effective boot camp:

The Top 10 Boot Camp Safety Checklist

1.) The Instructor(s) Must Be Certified With Nationally Recognized Institution. If the person only has to pay for a certification you might want to stay clear. This can be an issue of safety.

2.) The Instructor must know what it takes to be in good shape and in some cases they might be out of shape. The best fitness professionals have the knowledge but also follow through with actions. Most people want to take advice from people who are in great shape.

3.) The instructor must make the exercises appropriate for all levels. The more fit you are the more advanced the exercises should be. The less fit you are the less advanced the exercises should be. There is always a modification and the instructor should know of plenty. If they cannot you should leave the class.

4.) The Instructor should be available for questions before and after class. This is important to determining the individuals’ needs and wants. Focus on a professional that cares about you and the group combined.

5.) The program should emphasize body weight exercise with a progression to weight training exercises. There should be a great focus on form first and foremost. Exercises need to be mastered before an instructor increases intensity levels. A red flag should be raised if you are being instructed to add weight to a movement that you have yet to master with your body weight alone. This will lead to injury!

6.) The training system must focus on interval training body weight exercise and cardiovascular intervals as well. High-Intensity Interval Training is scientifically proven to burn 9x more fat than the aerobic training alternative, so it is critical that both the resistance training AND cardio programs provided incorporate intervals since the goal for most people is fat loss. Most people want an athletic lean look and this is accomplished through circuit training of varying intensity levels. The best fitness professionals can create workouts with little to no resistance except the body.

7.) The program must have a sound nutritional plan. The instructor should be adamant about you following this nutritional plan but it should not be a fad diet. The plan should focus on healthy nutrition not some dieting tricks. It should provide both nutrition guides for Males and Females.

8.) The program should have a website along with an interactive community for everyone to be a part of. Bottom line, if the boot camp program in question does not have a website in this day in age it is not worth your time and money. There are fitness professionals that do not treat this as a business but it is. You want support from others what better way then having a community that is all in this together. There are so many free communities out there today so the instructor should have an online social community.

9.) The program should have testimonials of all sorts. Their previous clients should have results and be raving about all of the benefits that they have received from the program. Ask for before and after pictures and written or video testimonials of their services before signing up. And remember, it's NOT just about the weight loss. Benefits should include, but not be limited to, increased energy levels, dress/pant size reduction, improved health profiles, increased strength and flexibility, less joint pain, etc.

10.) There should be a free trial of some sort. Many of the most successful camps do this. Why? Because they are confident in what they offer and the benefits it will have for you!

The Best Exercises to “Blast Fat”

After college I lost sight of my hopes and dreams. I had gotten in the worst shape of my entire life. Well that all has changed and being a fitness expert, I have found some great exercises that work better for quick, effective workouts. People are always asking me how do I lose stomach fat and what exercises can help me lose fat.

The best exercises are full body exercises. The exercises that help lose fat are the best for helping someone gain muscle as well. These exercises all have one thing in common: They work many muscles of the body and they work the biggest muscles of the body.

Research and real world experience dictate that these exercises burn more fat and have the greatest impact on the body. Taking this a step further….

Let’s drastically increase results by selecting TOTAL BODY EXERCISES within each TOTAL BODY WORKOUT! For example the squat has been known as one of the best exercises. However, the squat becomes UNSTOPPABLE for transforming the body when you add in another movement such as a press or row. More movement means more calories burned in less time.

It’s as simple as the Dream Body Equation below:

Performing Total Body Exercises Within Each Total Body Workout

More Muscles Recruitment =

Greater Caloric Expenditure + More Muscle Work =

More Fat Loss + Greater Lean Muscle Tissue

These exercises create a love/hate relationship. Love because of the awesome fat burning/muscle building results they provide to create a lean healthy body. Hate because they are challenging creating a pool of sweat in a short amount of time. Trust me these workouts are not for the treadmill walkers.

Here is the top 10 list of “Fat Blasting” exercises:

Exercise#1- Step up curl or press

Exercise#2- Kettlebell swings, cleans, and Jumps

Exercise#3- Lunge variations with another movement. Examples would be reverse lunge with a curl, lunge with med ball press, and reverse lunge with a row.

Exercise#4- Plyometric push up, push up into a burbee and so on.

Exercise#5- The Chop- Dumbbells, Kettlebells, Med Balls, Bands, or Sandbags

Exercise#6- Olympic Lifting Variations: Dumbbell or Kettlebell Cleans, Snatches, High Pulls

Exercise#7- Jump variations with or without weight such as tuck jumps, squat jumps, and lunge jumps.

Exercise#8- Med ball shuffle slams, med ball jump slams, and med ball explosive drills of any kind

Exercise#9- Weighted punches with jumps or burbees.

Exercise#10- sprints with periods of push ups, squat jumps, or any other exercise above.

I hope you take my advice and focus on intensity over time. I hope you use these exercises to your advantage and focus on quick, effective workouts. Results in less time are what you want. You want to bust through your plateau and create a lean, fit body.

I’ll be sharing some more great exercises for those specific trouble spot areas (e.g. legs, butt, abs, chest, arms, etc.) that are holding you back from “blasting fat” in the days to come ;)

BLAST FAT,

The Blame Game

You know I get clients all the time that are not ready for the committment to train.  I tell people the truth and I do the best to let them know the truth without taking hope from them.  Truthly if me saying that something is going to be a challenge turns them off.... Well they are probably not ready for a change.  They might and have even blame me for not taking action.  Well show me you can do it.  Prove it to yourself and to the world.  But please if you are reading this take responsibility for where you are in life.    

The truth is anybody can get in better shape.  Anyone can lose weight and keep the weight off for life.  But not everyone will in fact many will not but for the ones that do it makes it all worthwhile.  I get so much satisfaction out of the ones that are ready.  The ones that have made a decision to change.  Do not let anyone stop you from your dreams this is your life.
