A Lesson From Bill Gates

Posted by on June 15, 2011 at 4:07 am

This blog post originally had nothing to do with fitness and fat loss and everything to do with attitude. On occasion I share a bit of what’s going on in my life. I know that you may be experiencing something similar at your end of the world, or maybe I can enlighten you with my […]

Bum Tabatta

Posted by on June 9, 2011 at 4:19 am

Here’s a cool circuit that we did at boot camp. I really shouldn’t call this a ‘tabatta’ cuz a tabatta implies that you get a short rest. In this interval, we do the timing of a regular tabatta (20 sec of work, 10 sec of rest), but you don’t get any rest. This is a […]

Cardio for fat loss?

I don’t want to contribute to the mis-information out there…. In my last post I gave you some idea of what it takes in the gym to get ready for a body building contest. I described grueling weight training workouts and honestly, those resistance workouts are the key to fat loss. Muscle is metabolically active […]

Metabolic Resistance Training for Fat Loss

Posted by on May 24, 2011 at 4:11 am

My mentor and good friend Craig Ballantyne has a new program that I highly recommend. I know many of you have asked me why I’d want to promote someone who has a program that completes with my own. Truth is, I’m all about getting you results. There’s so much fluff out there, I want to […]

Pressed for time? Need a great workout that’s done in 20 minutes? Here’s an amazing workout for you to do using only a dumb bell, bench and mat. Do in ‘as many rounds as possible’ style. Try to do the four exercises as many times as you can in a 10-20 minute period with minimum […]

Menopause: The Battle is ON!

Posted by on May 5, 2011 at 4:03 am

Women approaching or in their 40’s have to work against nature to maintain their figure. Our current lifestyle and Mother Nature has stacked the odds against us sailing smoothly through the fourth decade of our life without some extra baggage, literally. I’m talking about gobs of fat hanging off our waists like a muffin top-not […]
