Blog Cardio Series: Part IV - "Expensive Clothes Rack" |
| 12/16/2008 8:31:37 PM |
Do you have one? A clothes rack with a belt you can walk on...handles on the side...digital screen...plugs in to the wall - you know the one..."oh wait, that is my treadmill!" I am making light of a situation that is very common, so if you have one of these "clothes racks", don't feel like you are alone, you are not!
But the good news is - you can... Read More |

You Don't Walk Fat Off Your Body! |
| 12/2/2008 4:08:35 PM |
I was reading a forum post on a popular health and fitness site and how people were claiming to walk "x" times per week and melt fat off their body. It is one thing for the non-fitness professional to make these claims, but there were posts from people claiming to be in the industry - and saying walking will melt fat off your body...
Not much fat.
Staying away from... Read More |

The Truth About Abs, & How To Work Them |
| 7/11/2008 7:05:14 PM |
I always hear about upper abs and lower abs, and targeting "love handles"...etc, etc.
The truth is, nothing can really be "targeted". Abs are abs. There is no upper and there is no lower. The abdominal wall is one complete muscle that move is unison...uppper and lower. You have the obliques on the side, but essentially abs are abs.
Okay, so what is... Read More |

Exercise Plan For a Tough Economy |
| 7/9/2008 10:09:50 PM |
Gas prices are soaring. I heard yesterday that within 2 years gas prices will be up over $6.00 per gallon! If you thought gas prices affected your life...just wait. With gas prices being low, housing market down, and the checkbooks being tighter than they have in years - why waste time and gas trekking to a gym to get your workout?
Think about it - your gym membership is... Read More |

Lipo-Dissolve...An Economical Alternative To Liposuction. |
| 6/24/2008 5:52:20 PM |
| There is a new cream on the market, available through trainers, that actually dissolves fat! MesUnique (Lipo-Dissolve) is a revolutionary new cream, and I have seen its effects first-hand! It is not a miracle cream. It does not get rid of fat if you don't help it get rid of fat - you must follow a fitness training program and concentrate on your meal planning. May sound... Read More |

| 5/12/2008 8:07:26 PM |
| The new South Beach Diet book that is out is touting a cardio plan to follow that will burn more calories and more fat. Dr. Agatston (South Beach) advocates that his 19 minute, interval based program will not only burn more fat during exercise, but also provide an invaluable "afterburn" lasting for hours after exercise. Critics say that the interval based cardio... Read More |

Starbucks - Lighter on Calories, But Still Not The Pocketbook! |
| 4/14/2008 8:59:48 PM |
| So Starbucks is jumping on the Low-Cal bandwagon and will be rolling out "lighter" versions of their lattes and mochas over the course of this year. They now have Skinny lattes and mochas, 90 caloriesbecause they're made with non-fat milk, sugar-free syrup and no whip! That is wonderful, but those who are health conscious, those who have fitness training routines... Read More |

Buddy Up For Weight Loss! |
| 4/9/2008 9:55:52 PM |
| A recent study of 2000 women showed that people (women in this case) are more likely to succeed on a weight loss program if they are doing it with someone else. I don't think this is a big surprise, right? I have always said if you start a fitness training routine or a meal planning program you should tell 10 people about it...the more you tell, the more you are... Read More |

Kids and fitness training - almost as controversial a subject as steroids in baseball! When should they start? What should they do? Well, The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) has recently come out with some new guidelines that I think are pretty proactive and warrant an applause...not only that, they need to be broadcast to parents! If everyone thinks kids should not... Read More |

Blog Series: Fitness Training Essentials - "Don't Leave Any Parts Out!" |
| 3/26/2008 9:10:04 PM |
We all have areas of our body that we like to work more...or need to work more in our fitness training routines - BUT no body part should be left out! As a general rule, bigger muscles groups (legs, chest, back, shoulders) need more attention, and smaller groups (biceps, triceps, calves) need less repetitions.
Fitness training routines should consist of balanced amount of... Read More |

Blog Series: Fitness Training Essentials - "Weights First, Then Cardio" |
| 3/25/2008 8:53:52 PM |
Being in the personal training industry now for 25 years and counting, one of the most popular questions I get is "When should I do my cardio fitness training?" I always recommend doing your cardio fitness training on opposite days of your weight training...but it is not always that simple for people...
