i'll eat you

Temptation.

“It’s so hard to…”

“Can I just have one…”

“I always start out good, but…”

NOPE.  Excuses.  You have to set yourself up for success, which means eliminating all those little tiny things that get in the way of your goals- most of which you are probably putting in your own path.  It’s time to get serious and fool proof your life.

  • No candy dish on your desk at work.
  • No soda, even in your cocktails.
  • Don’t bring change with you- you’ll hit the vending machine the second hungry or boredom hits.  Put it in a jar and save for smaller pants or a training session.
  • Throw out the crap- everything.  Clean it out of your cupboards, your drawers, your pantry and your fridge.  You can’t eat it if it’s not there.
  • Doggie bags never enter the house.  This doesn’t mean clean your plate- give them to a friend or ‘forget’ them at the restaurant.
  • Going out to eat is not a special occasion, so quit telling yourself it is.
  • Never go to a place with a drive-thru, ever.  Even if it’s to order something ‘healthy.’
  • Prepare all your meals at home so you know exactly what goes in them.
  • Only carry a basket when grocery shopping so you only grab the essentials- nothing extra.
  • Double wrap left overs and stack things on top of them in the fridge so they are harder to get to.
  • Put less than stellar foods up high and out of sight.
  • Make a grocery list and only bring enough cash for those items.
  • Buy individual servings of the snacks you serve your kids so you can’t use ‘just a bite’ as an excuse.
  • Plan your meals and stick to them.

If it’s not there, you can’t slip up.  It’s not magic that the food gets into your belly, so if you can’t handle it being around, don’t let it be around.

I wanted to get you guys an effective  program you could do at home or on the road, anytime,  with no equipment, using simple effective exercises.

Special thanks to my client Lori Roth for helping me shoot this on short notice!

I think the video does an O.K. job of explaining how to pull this off.

The idea is to use simple full body exercises in a circuit to get a maximum workout in minimum time.

Modify this to your needs. set a goal to go through at least twice your first workout. You can increase(45secs-1min) or decrease(20secs) the set times to your ability.

Bodyweight(BW) Cardio is the answer for many problems you’re  run into when going after results in your program.

Q. How do I get results without slow, boring, cardio. (The smelly guy at the gym always gets on the treadmill next to me)

A-BW cardio is fast and effective. It’s actually more effective for fat loss than steady state cardio. You can do it at home too.

Q. I don’t have 30 minutes to 2 hours a day for cardio what do I do?

A-You don’t need to invest that kind of time into cardio to get results. It’s not about time it’s about intensity. BW cardio training is higher in intensity so less time is needed to see the benefits.

Q. I travel a lot and want to stay in shape on the road and I don’t have much time either.

A. This is a hotel room friendly workout. Probably one of the best. You can be up at 6 training at 6:05 and in the shower by 6:30. Your metabolism will be up, you’ll feel better, and probably eat better throughout the day. Triple Win!(you get the same benefits if you’re at home)

Q. I want to accelerate my current program without a huge time or energy suck.

A. Done.(and BW cardio helps break training plateaus for those that are stuck)

There’s so may ways you can use this type of program to improve your current condition be imaginative.

You still need resistance training but this really accelerates results. So use it. 2-3X  a week and I guarantee you’ll see a difference in your body in as little as 2 weeks.

Don’t let the fact you’ve never done this type of workout before hold you back. Results stall with routine so mix it up.

And have a good time.

Dedicated to Your Success,

Dave

“The most important part is goal setting. You need to really want amazing results and be prepared to do whatever it takes. It’s not that hard to get the results — it’s building that overwhelming desire that counts. Most people think — “Well – this cake won’t hurt me will it?” I get my clients to think, “Will this hel p me or not? Is this a positive step or not?” Once you get that — you’re a hit.” – Alwyn Cosgrove

caffeine

We all know exercise is a great way to boost your metabolism, but here are 5 easy ways to get even more fat burn out of your engine:

Eat Breakfast.  With in an hour of waking up, get some healthy carbs and protein into your body.  This signals your metabolism to wake up, and stay up all day long.

Get in an Early Workout.  Hitting the gym early can help you burn fat all day long- where as evening workout session fat burning only lasts until you go to sleep.  Morning workouts also keep you energized all day long, and suppress your appetite so you don’t over eat throughout the day.

Caffeine is Your Friend.  Coffee and tea will give you a boost of energy, but it has also been proven to help you metabolize fat.  Just don’t load up on extras, like milk, cream and sugar which add tons of fat and calories.

Have a Snack.  Eating healthy meals and snacks every 2-3 hours keeps blood sugar even, which helps you burn fat instead of store it, even if you end up eating more calories total.  Snacks should be around 150 calories, like an apple and 12 almonds.

Stretch.  Strength training and cardio are important, but everyone seems to forget about flexibility.  Stretching increases the functionality of your muscles, so you’ll be able to push yourself harder at the gym.

Ever seen someone shrink right before your eyes?

That’s the only way I can describe the transformation Stephanie has gone through. 20 pounds and 21 inches doesn’t do her justice.  She doesn’t even look like the same person that walked into Fitness Camp.And now she’s making progress every week!

Her story isn’t just inspiring it’s revealing and informative.

I always tell clients that changing your shape is a process. It’s not like walking into a room and flipping a switch and all your habits change. You’re going to screw up! It’s part of the process!

And guess what? It doesn’t matter!

Fail Forward!

When Stephanie started the camp she made a mistake that’s often fatal to weight loss efforts. She talks about her misstep at 1:13 in the video. You don’t want to miss it. It might just save you from the same pain in the future.

The fact that she’s shrinking like a wool sweater in a hot dryer is a testament to her quick correction-not to mention her tenacity and sheer guts.

Now hit play and let her tell you all about it.

Great job Stephanie!

Dedicated to Your Success,
Dave

healthy-diet

Don’t just take that headline and run with it, read on:

I eat constantly.  It’s to the point where people comment on how much I eat, and that I am still in good shape.

Why do I eat so often?  To keep my body running efficiently.  Thus, I get to eat more food.

I eat every 3 hours, which means I eat about 6 times a day.  Each meal is around 150-450 calories.

Eating regularly not only keeps you from getting hungry (it’s easy for me to no over eat because I know I’m going to be able to eat again in a few hours) but it makes you burn more calories than you normally would, even if you ate the exact same foods spaced further apart.  This process is called thermogenesis, which is where your metabolism runs faster because you have a constant HEALTHY supply for just enough fuel.  You burn fat while eating more food.

These are tiny meals- so how do you know what to eat to fuel you right?

  • Each meal should have a source of lean protein, like fish, eggs, almonds, cottage cheese and tofu.
  • Get your carbs, but make sure they are low-glycemic, like berries, apples, sweet potatoes, beans and whole grains.
  • Choose foods closest to their source- unprocessed and single ingredient.  Instead of applesauce, eat an apple.  Instead of orange juice, eat an orange.

Try it.  Instead of starving and then stuffing yourself all day long, you won’t be hungry, you’ll be able to eat more and you’ll burn more fat.  It’s science.

In Good Health,

Kelly Turner

This is a mix of Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced Fat-Loss tips.

Choose 1 or 2 to put into play NOW! Not later. Now.

The tips that are best for you are the ones you implement. Believe me when I tell you they only work if you use them.

Forget about super-human willpower. Use STRATEGY!

Goal Setting/ Planning

1. Know your goal, Getting ready for a marathon and rapid fat-loss require different strategies

2.Look in the mirror write down 3 things you want to change most and fix those first

3.Write down a Big Hairy Audacious Goal. Run a marathon, surf in Hawaii, Triathlons, Mudd-Runs, whatever. Make it big and go.

4.Write down how would your life will be different when you reach your goals

5.Those thing that are measured tend to improve. Know your weight, bodyfat, and measurements

6. Take full length before pictures. This is no time for denial.

7.Set a deadline to remeasure. And stick to it. That’s why it’s a deadline.

4 weeks works best.

8.Tell everyone about your goal and plans. This works internally to keep you on track.

9. Enlist a friend to be your body-transformation buddy. The more support you get the higher your success rate.

10. Set up a calendar with your starting numbers, your daily plan to get you to your deadline, and the deadline itself.

Nutrition-

11. Journal your food for at least 3 days.

12.Commit to a no Fast-Food  for 4 weeks.(My goal is no-fast food for all of 2010. With 3 kids under 6years old. Wish me luck!)

13. Go simple. Nothing with more than 5 ingredients is edible.

14.Cut out all Soft-drinks including “diet”

15.Read the labels to check portion control. Are you really eating 1 serving?

16.Stash back up meal replacements, bars or fruit  for emergencies. Put it in your car, your desk and gym bag. Never get caught short.

17. Choose one day of the week to shop and cook all your meals for the week. This is your “workout” for the day.

18.Shop off of a list. Know before you go.

19.Make foods you have a weakness for-Hard to Get to. If it’s in the house you will eat it. Guaranteed.

20.Do a pantry clean out.

21.If the whole family eats bad. Everyone gets on board. Let the kids know the best way to not struggle with being overweight as an adult. Is never get overweight in the first place. And believe me they watch your habits.

Training

22.Superfast results can be had with 2x day workouts.

23. Train with a partner or a Coach/Trainer. You’ll get more out of your efforts everytime. “Try it on my own”  has a 99% Failure rate.

24.Stop doing long-slow-boring-ineffective-cardio for weight loss.-Use Interval Training for real visible results.

25.Lift weights a-lot. Get results real fast.

26.Ladies 1200 calories and long slow cardio is worst weight/ fat loss combination ever.( Long slow cardio is time consuming, boring and ineffective. then you don’t see results. then you quit. then you overeat from the guilt of quitting, that’s a nasty combination)

27.Ladies lift weights to get small. The stronger you get . The smaller you’ll be.

28.Body-Weight cardio routines fry bodyfat and jack you metabolism. Do it .

29.Adding sprints for 12 to 20 minutes 3 X a week will give you a body you don’t recognize as your own.

30.Do  Complexes to burn fat faster than cardio.(google:Fat-burning C

omplexes)

31.Full-body resistance training 2-3 X a week is the future of fitness. Because it works like gang-busters.

32.Avoid using resistance machines. It’s not how you were designed to move and you get less payback for your efforts.

That’s it. Use it or lose it.

apple

Simply cutting out fat isn’t going to melt away your body fat.

Cutting body fat has to do with all your food choices and cutting body fat has more to do with what you do eat, instead of what you don’t eat.

Thankfully, most of these foods are simple.  Walnuts are full of Omega-3s, which blast fat.  Spinach contains Magnesium and B vitamins which are important for metabolism function.  Edamame is full of isoflavones that have been shown to reduce belly fat.

The easiest (and cheapest) fat blasting food, however, is a simple, crispy, delicious apple.

For about 11 cents per apple, you get a heap of fat burning benefits:

  • Apples score a low 39 on the glycemic index, which means they provide steady energy which will keep your blood sugar and cravings in check.
  • Apples are full of Pectin, a type of fiber that delays gastric emptying to keep you full longer.
  • People currently enrolled in the Calorie study, a weight loss trial to see if calorie restriction can prolong life, have all been losing weight- and all eat an apple a day.
  • Apples only contain 80 calories, and are thought to be a negative calorie food (you burn more calories digesting them, than are actually in the apple.)
  • People who regularly eat apples are 21 percent less likely to have excess belly fat.
  • The soluble fiber in apples can help reduce your cholesterol.
