Fort Worth Personal Trainers: RAPID-FAT-LOSS Lactic Acid Bodyweight Circuit (Your Weekend VIDEO Workout)

Happy Friday!

I’ve got a pre-Halloween workout for you that will get you in shape so fast it’s Spooky.

What is Lactic Acid?

When you hear old-school instructors say “Feel the BURN!?!?”

Lactic acid is the “the burn” you feel.

The better you get at managing your pace and intensity the more in control you’ll feel when you’re training.

This workout is designed to put you in that “burn” state and keep you there.

It’s uncomfortable so expect that, but not so uncomfortable you need to stop.

You have to learn to manage the discomfort without panicking or stopping.

Expect to be at around a 6 to 8/9 on the Perceived Exertion Scale the entire workout.

You CAN do this.

ABC: Lactic Acid Bodyweight Circuit

• Do this bodyweight + sprints circuit 6 times with no rest between exercises.

1) Prisoner Squats – 25 reps

2) Walking Lunge – 20 reps per side

3) Close-grip Pushups – 60% of max reps

-i.e. if you can do 20, do only 12 4

4) Repeated Vertical Jumps – 8 reps

5) Mountain Climbers – 12 reps per side

6) Optional: Chinups – 50% of max reps

– i.e. if you can do 6, do only 3

5) Shuttle Sprints – 20 seconds

• Rest 1 minute at the end of the circuit before repeating 5 more times.

DONE!

Fort Worth Personal Trainers: One Simple Trick to Lose Weight and Keep it Off (Why What’s On Your Counter Matters A LOT!)

Hope you’re having a great day!

Imagine trying to workout on a busy highway. Your weights are on one side of the highway, and you have to cross the highway to do your exercises.

And you have to lay your mat on the ground right next to cars speeding by.

Sounds impossible, doesn’t it? Do you know why?

Exercising on a busy highway actually could be done, but here’s the deal….

It’s the wrong environment.

For you to effectively workout you can go to a gym, the weights are neat and orderly, there’s space for you to get on the floor, there’s even a water fountain in case you’re thirsty.

It’s a better environment.

And environment makes a HUGE difference in your results.

Two of the Biggest weight loss factors to emerge in 2017 was the power of your habits and environment on your weight loss and fitness results.

We’ve talked about the power of habits before. And how much better habits are than simple willpower when it comes to weight loss and sticking with a program long enough to get results and to make it into a lifestyle.

You’ve heard the phrase your environment matters.

And people are usually referring to the people they’re around and their influence either good or bad on your behaviors.

But it go’s deeper than that.

The kinds of food you have laying about, visible and readily available has an impact on your weight.

A study recently by food psychologist and behavioral economist Brian Wansink, Ph.D., director of the Food and Brand Lab at Cornell University, uncovered the connection between your choice of food left out and your weight.

Wansink conducted a study recently where he and his colleagues took photos of kitchens in 240 homes in Syracuse, New York.

They examined every detail of the kitchens, from the measurements to what kinds of foods were sitting out.

Their findings were startling….

Having potato chips visible anywhere in the kitchen was associated with weighing 9 pounds more than the neighbors.

And having breakfast cereal out was even worse: For women, it was associated with weighing 21 pounds more than the neighbors. “You think, ‘Cereal is healthy, here’s a box, let me grab a handful,'” Wansink reasons.

On the positive side, the study also showed that people who keep a fruit bowl outweigh 8 pounds less than their neighbors.

“You can debate the causality: Is it slim people who have fruit bowls, or do fruit bowls make you slim? I don’t know. But if you want to be slim, once you start at least doing what [slim people] are doing, you’re tilting the field in the right direction,” he says.”

The most powerful part of this is how easy it is to make this one minor change to your environment and it’s possible impact on your waistline.

Will sitting a bowl of apples out magically make you slimmer. No.

But theirs a very high chance that having that bowl of candy sitting on your desk isn’t helping you.

Just like the people you’re around matter to your weight loss and fitness results.

Your environment matters.

Probably far more than we’ve realized before.

Set your environment up to help your success.

It can be done and you can do it.

I believe in you and your ability to reach your goals.

Talk soon.

Fort Worth Personal Trainers:The Hinge Method of Weight Loss How One or Two Small Diet Changes Can Get Big Results (Video)

Hope you’re having a great day!

When I start new clients there’s always a little apprehension that I’m going to put a meal plan in front of them that they can’t do.

And the one thing I’ve discovered after doing 1000’s of nutrition consults is NO TWO PEOPLE eat the same.

That’s why meal plans must be individualized.

I’ve also learned super-involved complex diets have an extremely high failure rate.

So my meal plans must be 3 things to increase your chances of success.

It needs to be…

1) SIMPLE-your meal plan or the changes we make need to be simple, easy to implement, and realistic. Using food you know-like-and are willing to eat.

2) EFFECTIVE-the meal plan must actually GET YOU RESULTS especially in the beginning.

Because when you’re starting out, you’re going to need some “small wins” to give you that extra kick to stick with it.

3) SUSTAINABLE-Your eating plan must be something that you can actually maintain for the next 10, 20 even 30 years.

If you talk to 1000 people who have been “fit for life” you’ll tend to see that they all have the similar diet habits.

This sustainability also helps with consistency.

And consistency with your eating can overcome all kinds of other shortcomings in your plan.

Here I share how making one or two small changes to your eating can give have a dramatic positive effect on your results.

CONSISTENCY

Consistency and building the “Showing Up” habit.

Fort Worth Personal Trainers: Whats REALLY Holding You Back-How to Beat Your Internal Resistance and Finally Get Results (VIDEO)

“You could just as easily change your life today as any other day. You don’t need to wait for January first.” – Dan Kennedy

Today is the perfect time to take a few minutes and think about where you are with your health and fitness goals, where you want to go, and what you need to do to get there …then make an action plan to start this week off.

This, like most lessons I’ve learned the hard way because no other way would get my attention.

-If you keep doing what you’re doing, you’ll keep getting what you’re getting.

So you must do something different.

Take action this week on one big rock that is standing in your way of accomplishing your goals.

You can:

-Cut out Soft Drinks

-Swear off Fast Food (or at least the drive through)

-Clean out your refrigerator and cupboards of any food that doesn’t help you to your goals.

-Schedule your exercise like you brush your teeth.Everyday

-Change your exercise routine if you’re bored. There’s no reason to do boring exercise!

Take action on ONE thing and knock it out of the park.

At the end of the day there’s only one politically incorrect truth:

The ONLY thing holding you back is you. If you are procrastinating, now is the time to overcome the internal resistance.

As Dan Kennedy said in a seminar back in 2009.

“The failure to act is much more often the product of inner, emotional resistance than external resistance. To move forward you must give up your story, whether it is excuses about your childhood, lack of education, your “bad luck”, your unsupportive family, your low metabolism, etc”

Tough love. And challenging words.

But helpful words.

Especially to those of us that need to hear them.

We can all do better.

Myself, Kennedy, and you.

One big rock this week. One big obstacle that’s been in your way.

Over, around, or through it…you’ll find a way.

It’s time for you to step up and take charge. Just do it.

I’m waiting for your success story.

It CAN be done and YOU can do it!

Talk soon.

Dave

P.s. There’s a whole group of people that have taken charge of their own lives, and moved the big rocks. If you’d like to meet them.

Fort Worth Personal Trainer: How This 63yo Grandmother Dropped 8lb, 9in Overall, and Lost the Flab in 4 Weeks! (VIDEO)

Kathy Howard, 63, joined my program as she says to “Get rid of the flab”!

After dropping a significant amount of weight over the last year using a commercial meal plan.

She knew she needed an exercise program that would get her toned up, increase her energy, and help her keep the weight off.

She’s lost 8lb and 9in overall in just the first 4 weeks!

More importantly, she feels like her energy is up, she’s sleeping less, and as she says “feeling better than I have in years!”.

She shares the exact method she used to drop junk food and fast food to drop her first 50 pounds.

She also makes sure to get in 4 servings of fruit and 4 servings of vegetables a day. (There are NO secrets to eating healthy! The Basics are always the same)

She also shares how this program is different from just joining a gym and hoping for the best.

She (like all of us at one point) even joined a gym for a year and only went once.

And how this program the coaches and the variety keeps her engaged and coming back for more.
