It’s amazing how more focused and intense my workouts are when I have a plan. Too many people go to the gym and just bounce from one exercise to the other without any real strategy behind their actions.
Have you heard the saying, “Those that fail to plan, plan to fail.”? Well that applies to working out as well.
So now that I’ve convinced you to get workout…
Muscle is your friend. Regardless if you’re a male, female, young or old, you should love the muscle you currently have and fall in love with the new muscle you should be training to grow. Many older people lose their lean muscle mass as they age (it’s called sarcopenia). This loss in muscle can cause them to lose the ability to do many functional daily tasks. Therefore, staying young…
There is a lot of talk about overtraining in the fitness industry. Many people fear it, but do many people actually experience it?
Overtraining occurs when the intensity and volume of an individual’s exercise program exceeds their recovery time. Once in overtraining mode, the individual stops making progress and can even see a decrease in their strength and fitness levels.
If you’re training very hard every day in the…
Nobody likes a cheat. So my question to you is are you cheating on your current fitness program…with another fitness program?
One of the biggest mistakes people can make, which slows progress, is not sticking with a fitness program throughout it’s intended time frame. I call these people the “fitness program cheaters”. They’re usually the ones that start a program and then get bored or decide to switch to the…
As a certified personal trainer, one of the challenges faced in dealing with new female clients (and some guys) is getting them to overcome their fear of lifting weights. I always ask, what’s so scary about lifting weights?
I usually get two answers:
1. “I don’t know what I’m doing.”
2. “I just want to tone, lose fat, and not get to “muscle-y”. That’s why I always do cardio to burn fat.”
Once I…
As a certified personal trainer, I get asked and e-mailed the following questions all the time:
1. What form of cardio burns fat fastest?
2. What form of cardio is best for my body type?
3. Should I use the treadmill, elliptical, speed bike, or stair master?
4. For maximum fat loss, should cardio be done on a full or empty stomach?
It depends on you! I know, easy cop out Brad, but…
Have you ever heard or used the excuse that you’ve gained fat because you have a slow metabolism caused by a thyroid condition?
Since Oprah told the world that her weight issue was due to a thyroid condition, many people have been following in her foot steps. But do you really have hypothyroidism or are you just making the wrong health, fitness, and nutrition choices?
The thyroid is a gland located…
One little known benefit of taking omega 3′s is how it helps your lungs during intense exercise. During an intense cardio workout, sometimes it may seem hard to catch your breath. Your lungs are working overtime to try and deliver the oxygen you need to recover. Super intense workouts can sometimes cause what seems like an asthma attack but what’s really happening is called exercise induced bronchocontriction (EID) or fighting…
Are you an analytical person?
Well if you over analyze everything, I have an easy tip to help you keep your sanity during your journey to lose or gain weight.
STEP AWAY FROM THE WEIGHT SCALE!
I talk about this all the time. The weight scale causes more people unnecessary stress than you can imagine.
Think about it…you’re sweating bullets at the gym, you’re eating healthy food, and getting lots of rest….
I’m fascinated with the brain and how studies conclude that we’ve only touched on the surface of our brain’s true potential.
The brain controls many bodily functions and actions. But did you know it can also possibly mobilize and control fat loss? Just imagine the possibilities!
There are processes occurring in our body that we are not even aware of. Researchers are finding that the brain may be able to…
