Fort Worth Personal Trainer: How this 55yo Working Mom and Grandmother Lost 25lbs and 11ins in 6 Months (VIDEO)

Debbie Petrie, 55, is a busy professional CPA, wife, mom, and grandmother to one with one more on the way.

Debbie first came to us after doing a DNA test and discovering she had the gene for alzheimer’s disease.

She has seen the effect alzheimer’s had on her father, so she began researching.

She found that “a healthy lifestyle, especially exercise and cardiovascular things would help prevent and off set the effects of alzheimer’s”

She adds “I was also overweight, but the final straw was the alzheimer’s”

With absolutely NO exercise background and a little fear and intimidation about the gym environment she started in our Fit over 50 Program.

Specifically in the past 6 months she’s lost 25lbs, 11ins overall,increased her stamina, and most importantly as she says “as I’ve seen others age and slow down,I realize I have choices”.

Debbie also shares the #1 Nutrition change she made that she feels has had the biggest impact on her results.

She talks about the “Small and easy”changes she made over time that eventually made a big impact on her weight and health.

Debbie also talks about the steps she took to minimize sugar in her diet, and what she goes for now when she craves something sweet.

For exercise Debbie came in determined to be “coachable”

“I realized I don’t know anything about exercise, but if I show up and follow exactly what my coach Bryson tells me to do I WILL get results”

Debbie closes by adding if you’re in a woman in your 40’s, 50’s, even 60’s “Don’t be intimidated, I was incredibly intimidated by gyms and people who went to gyms. And now I’m incredibly comfortable here. There’s no judgement….I had to make myself do this and I’m do glad I did.”

Fort Worth Personal Trainers: How Lifetime Exercise Slows the Aging Process (Video)

For most of us the typical idea of “aging” means weight gain, loss of strength, loss of balance, more illness, less independence and the list of negatives goes on and on.

BUT.

It doesn’t have to be that way.

And recent research out of the UK further provides proof that the #1 Anti-Aging drug you can take is a regular exercise program.

I share in the Video how a regular exercise program helped these people…

1) Retain their muscle mass and strength

2) Maintain a lower body fat level over a lifetime

3) Have the Immune system of a 20yr old even in their 70’s!

Fort Worth Personal Trainer: 5 Tips to Lose 5 Pounds Fast (VIDEO)

With summer and beach season upon us I thought I’d share five simple strategies with you for shedding five pounds of fat before the you hit the beach or pool.

But first let me clear something up: Weight loss can be put into two categories.

The first is a fully concentrated effort. This is where you dedicate yourself to counting every calorie and slaving away in the gym. The pounds come off, but once you relax the regimen your weight goes right back to where it was.
The second is a combination of simple lifestyle changes. This is where you change a few key factors about what you eat and how you exercise, without making it a full-time job. This type of weight loss tends to be permanent, since you are able to maintain it long term.
The five simple strategies below all fall into the lifestyle change category. These strategies may seem ridiculously simple, and deliver fast results but do them over an extended period of time and you will see amazing, permanent results.

Strategy #1: Ditch Your Diet Soda
Studies are coming out that link diet soda to weight gain.

Researchers from the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio concluded that those who drank two or more diet soft drinks a day had the largest waistline increases—about five times more than that of non-drinkers. They stated, “Data from this and other prospective studies suggest that the promotion of diet sodas as healthy alternatives may be ill-advised: they may be free of calories, but not of consequences.”

Bottom line: Artificial sweeteners are addictive, lead to waistline increases, and cause you to crave sugary foods. By cutting diet soda out of your daily routine, and replacing it with water, you will lose inches and pounds—effortlessly.

Strategy #2: If It’s White Don’t Bite
Move over bread, lettuce is better.

It’s time to re-define your sandwich. While bread has tradition on its side, lettuce wraps offer you weight loss and increased energy. Try my Tasty Tuna Lettuce Wraps recipe below.

Bottom line: Eating bread and other starchy foods always leads to extra pounds, so change your ways. Swap your sandwich bread for lettuce for 30 days and see how much you will effortlessly lose. I bet you’ll feel more energetic after lunch too.

Strategy #3: Trade Slow Cardio for Intense Intervals
Doing slow cardio will not give you results. Just look at any treadmill farm at 24 Hour Fitness.

In order to really make your workout effective, you need to turn up the intensity. Full body moves like burpees and squats done in an interval fashion accelerate metabolism, burn fat and create that ‘lean & tight” look.

Bottom line: Doing slow, easy cardio will not give you the streamline body you want. Only intense intervals will do that for you. Pepper your workout with bouts of intense cardio and watch as the fat starts to disappear.

Strategy #4: Avoid Sugar 99% Of The Time
Sugar will cause you to gain weight every single time.

There’s really no way around that simple truth. Sugar is standing between you and your perfect body. If you’re serious about looking and feeling great, then understand that sugar has no place in your diet.

Bottom line: If you avoid sugar 99% of the time, then you will be on your way to a lean and energetic body. If it’s your birthday or a special holiday, then partake in a small amount of sugar, but make that the exception and not the rule.

Strategy #5: Exercise With A Professional
When I design your workouts, you know it will be good. Not only good – but great.

People who work with me just get better results than those who attempt to do it on their own. Just look at my clients and their amazing transformations (scroll down and to the right) and you’ll see what I mean.
Each workout I create for you will push you to your limits, challenge your body and deliver the results you’re looking for.

Bottom line: All of my clients expect to get the best workout of their lives each and every time they train with me, and my job is to over-deliver.

Fort Worth Personal Trainers: Monday Quick Tip-If You Are Struggling (VIDEO)

“Everything you do is either moving you closer to or farther away from your goals.”

Picked this quote up from a super-trainer name Alwyn Cosgrove.

And this is a foundational way to approach things. Especially if you’re struggling.

Ask yourself-
Are your actions moving you toward your weight loss get in shape goals or moving you away?

It’s amazing the transformation you’ll see in a person that figures it out

“What I’m doing is not working”

Then changes the “what” they’re doing.

Then the results happen FAST…

The opposite of this is-
“I’d like to keep doing what I’m doing- but get different results”
– That doesn’t work at all. Ever.

The power of change isn’t really in the recognition part either. Lot’s of people recognize they need to make changes, but take NO action.

The power is in the doing/action part.

The positive reinforcement is in the doing of it. The new habit is put into play.

Not just having a good idea.

Action is taken.

And the action very clearly moves you to or away from your goal.

People that are fed up with their current condition take action.

Lots and lots of action.

Actions like-
-Putting your workout gear next to their bed to make getting to their AM workout easier. (or like one of my ladies who slept in her gym clothes-then just put her shoes on in the morning)

-Getting up 10minutes early so you can get some breakfast before going out the door.

-Planning-buying and prepping your food for the week.

-Trying supplements that have been proven to accelerate your fat loss results on the scale and in the mirror.

(Not just screwing up your face and saying “that doesn’t work for me”)

-Checking in with your support system (or opening your newsletter from me-that is it’s original design-for support) or even staying in touch through Facebook.

-Not allowing anything or anyone to get in the way of your workout. It’s scheduled, you walk out of the office and you’re there.

-Getting to bed at a decent hour every night this week so you can wake up refreshed and ready to go.

These are all visible actions that will move you in the direction of your goals.

There’s really no middle ground here.

You’re either moving toward or away from where you want to be.

I encourage you, especially if you’re not seeing the results you want to see.

Check your habits-check your actions.

Make sure they’re the right ones

Now get started.
