Danvers Ma Bootcamp Instructor Talks about Weird Reason Breakfast is Boring
This morning I was sitting in front of my computer struggling to come up with a catchy title for this. I was thinking - yet again - about stressing the importance of breakfast to you.
So as I sat there trying to be clever I mumbled out loud, "Breakfast is boring."
And there you have it. That's exactly how I came up with this title. But do NOT take this message lightly.
You see, I know you're heard it a million times before. "You have to eat breakfast." And I know it's not a super sexy message. But do you have any idea how many people I meet as a fitness professional in Danvers that, DO NOT eat breakfast?
A lot.
And do you have any idea how many of those people that don't eat breakfast are overweight?
Pretty much all of them.
Look, I'm not crazy. I know you don't have much time in the morning. And I know many of you just aren't all that hungry right after you wake up.
So let's look at this another way. You get up each morning and go to work every day because you want a roof over your head and food on the table, right? Day after day after day you go to work because you want the RESULT of that effort.
My Danvers Bootcamp clients are eating breakfast and they now have the energy they need to go through one of my Danvers Bootcamp Programs
Well, IF you want to burn fat, feel better and have more energy you WILL eat breakfast every morning. Period. End of discussion.
Some things are boring. Some things just have to be done to get the result you want. For those of you that want to burn fat all day long, breakfast is just one of those things.
Until Next Time

Michael Phelps, Bongs and 6 Pack Abs
Michael Phelps, Bongs and 6 Pack Abs
So by now you've probably heard that Olympic champion Michael Phelps has gotten himself into a little bit of hot (bong) water. I felt I couldn't let this opportunity slip by without sharing some lessons from his mishap.
First, we all have to remember that we're role models. Somebody somewhere is looking up to us for guidance. It's a shame Michael Phelps screwed up, but he did. What's done is done. I know it reminded me that as a, fitness pro, I MUST lead by example.
Second, again, he screwed up. And while I'm not one to give people a million chances, I do believe in second chances. Forgiveness, which, when it comes to melting fat, and getting fit, is VERY important.
I can tell you from experience working with hundreds of people with similar goals to yours, you WILL screw up somewhere along the way. The key to success is to forgive you’re self and move forward. The people who truly fail are the ones that just give up the first time they make a mistake.
Third, this has nothing to do with what Michael Phelps has recently done, but it's another great reminder. If you want a lean, hard body and 6 pack abs, you're going to need to WORK. Regardless of his recent actions Michael Phelps is an Olympic Champ because he worked his rear end off. Don't fool yourself into thinking achieving your fitness goals is going to be a piece of cake.
Fourth, much was made during the Olympics of Michael Phelps and the massive amounts of calories he was consuming. If YOU want to get into peak condition you need the proper nutrition. Period!
Look, if you're not eating enough fruits and vegetables you need a Whole Foods based multi like www.warriorstrengthcoach.getprograde.com/vgf like Prograde Nutrition's VGF 25+
If you aren't optimizing your workouts by refueling with the correct blend of carbs to protein (based on the research) then you need to start using Prograde Workout - http://www.warriorstrengthcoach.getprograde.com/workout like I do.
Anyway, when you see a news story like this one involving Michael Phelps, always remember, to look for the positive lessons you can learn.
Until Next Time

Northshore Bootcamp Instructor Talks to you about a Fast Fat Loss Plan
Northshore Bootcamp Instructor Talks to you about a Fast Fat Loss Plan
There is a reason few people reach their goals and make their dreams come true.
Do you know what that reason is?
It's because they actually HAVE goals written down. The vast majority of people on this planet do not.
And not only do people that achieve goals actually set goals, they also create a plan to make sure they make things happen.
So where does that leave you?
Do you keep telling yourself you are going to "lose some weight?" Or do you have specific goals and a plan to reach them? I talk to so many people from the northshore area that say they are ready to take the next step and lose weight but for some reason they don't.
Do you have a plan for what you're going to eat each day so you're not tempted to fill up on fast food? Do you have a deadline for when you're going to reach your goal?
Here's another one: you KNOW you need to be eating breakfast every day. Do you have nutritious food in the house you PLAN on eating each morning?
This is YOUR life. Whether you want your body to look better naked, you want to improve your health, you want to have more energy or whatever your goal is, you, MUST have written goals and a plan to achieve them.
Until Next Time

Change and Action
Change and Action
I am going to talk a bit about making a change and taking action in you’re life to better you’re health through fitness and proper nutrition.
Now this is not a political discussion so what ever you’re beliefs are this has nothing to do with them. It’s about Change and Taking Action.
Last week was a historic week with the inauguration of the first black president in history. We have come a long way in this country. We have changed our thought process. We made history.
President Obama clearly stated that this country needs a change and what did he do on the first day of his Presidency? He made change. Regardless if you agree or disagree with this man he made change by taking action.
So what’s this have to do with fitness and nutrition? Change and Action are required if you want to achieve you’re fitness goals.
In today’s society we have a real problem. America is over weight and I’m not sure that we really realize the true nature of the issue.
So what are we doing to cure obesity in America?
We are the number one country in the world with this problem.
Most people don’t realize that their over weight until it’s too late.
Now it’s at this point that they want to change and help themselves but it’s also at this point that they might feel that they are too far gone to help themselves.
Its effects every part of you’re life, Looks, health, Self Confidence.
So who is the one responsible for curing this epidemic?
The answer is easy. YOU
Yes you. You are the one that needs too take action.
Action is the cure for this issue in our country.
Without taking action you will still be sitting on that couch eating down to the bottom of that bag of chips.
Action only results from wanting to make a change.
The time is now and you can’t wait any longer or this countries issue only gets worse.
I know I might be being a bit hard right now but I feel that people are not taking the problem seriously until you watch the news and see this 800lb man that is stuck in their apartment for the last 5 years because they are not able to get up and fend for themselves.
You might be saying that well he has a thyroid problem or it’s something medical.
Listen that man got that way simply by eating more food than his body required simple.
The time is now and you have to take ACTION!
Until Next Time

Win the Battle against Fat Cells
Win the Battle Against Fat Cells
As a fitness expert, you know I'll never promise you a pill is going to be the answer to that "jiggle in your wiggle." If you want six pack abs you're going to have to work for them.
BUT...
There is some very promising research out there in regards to a dietary supplement you've probably been hearing a lot about.
Yes, I'm talking about Essential Fatty Acids. You probably have heard them called something like Fish Oil pills.
How's this for good news?!
*University of Georgia researchers have found something pretty amazing about Essential Fatty Acid supplements containing DHA. Get this: The actually helps STOP the conversion of pre-fat cells into fat cells by causing them to die out before they can mature.
Once a pre-fat cell becomes a fat cell, well, there's no turning back. You've got that fat cell for life. Imagine, actually decreasing the accumulation of fat by taking an Essential Fatty Acid supplement containing DHA!
Now let me do my best infomercial voice for you...
But wait, there's more!
Seriously, that's not the only benefit of Essential Fatty Acid supplements containing DHA.
According to studies** done at the University of South Australia people that combined exercise with Essential Fatty Acid supplements containing DHA saw greater fat loss than the test group that only exercised and did not take the supplement.
How can you not be excited by these research studies??
Now, personally, I don't like Fish Oil pills because they cause you to burp like crazy. If you've ever taken them you know exactly what I mean. And they aren't always the highest quality.
After all the other fish oil and gel caps I started using EFA Icon from Prograde Nutrition because they use Krill Oil. It's been found to be a superior source of Essential Fatty Acids containing DHA. Plus, with EFA Icon there are NO fish burps. And I haven't even mentioned all the amazing health benefits from this dietary supplement.
If you're looking to accelerate your fat loss results than I really recommend you go with Prograde Nutrition's EFA Icon.
You can get it here: http://warriorstrengthcoach.getprograde.com/icon
To rapid fat loss,
PS - Remember, EFA Icon is NOT a miracle solution. You will need sound nutrition and exercise. BUT the research is there. It's definitely a supplement with powerful fat loss properties. http://warriorstrengthcoach.getprograde.com/icon

The Effect of Alcohol on Exercise
Alcohol and Exercise
Alright I assume that everyone has seen the 64 calories beer commercial by now. You know the one with the man who looks at his watch then runs off to change into his gym gear and meet up with his wife and then they go for a run all the while both of them looking like they have been working out for years. He is muscular and she is fit. Then they have them in their regular out on the town clothes entering a bar and getting a beer that has 64 calories in it.
This commercial shows you what you want to see. They give it to you on a silver platter. Basically it states that you can have a great physique and still go boozing.
So here is the question that everyone is always asking me. How much can they drink and not have it affect their weight loss or muscle building goals?
I heard that the extra carbs in beer make me stronger. I have heard this one way too many time. But I stick with the light beers.
I love all of these I call blind excuses. You know what it takes for weight loss and muscle growth to occur but you choose to ignore it or turn a blind eye to it.
So let's get down to it. What does alcohol do to your muscle gains and fat loss goals? Basically there was one study that showed that alcohol actually increased endurance and strength output. It only worked for about 20 or so minutes and then everything came crashing down.
Simply alcohol is a poison and it will start to affect your endurance, muscular strength, recovery capabilities, aerobic capacity, ability to metabolize fat and muscle growth. Alcohol as you know can also affect your nervous system and brain. Yes people, that’s, the fuzzy feeling you get.
When alcohol gets into the muscle cells, it will cause damage. Inflammation of the muscle cells is common among alcohol users. Over the long term, some of these damaged cells can die resulting in less functional muscle contractions. Alcohol will also leave you with more muscle soreness after exercise making recuperation periods longer.
Alcohol has many affects on your heart and circulatory system. You might see a reduction in your endurance level when you drink. Your heat loss increases, and because alcohol stimulates your blood vessels to dilate. This heat loss can cause your muscles to get cold which will make you slower and you will become weaker during contractions.
Alcohol causes a release of insulin that will increase the metabolism of glycogen, thereby making fat loss even harder to achieve. Alcohol does not have any nutritional value, but it does have seven calories per gram so drinking too much can lead to weight gain which is a no brainer. Hence, the, beer gut on you’re man, ladies.
So if you go out with your buddies and drink then do so in moderation and never consume alcohol right before exercise as you will impair your balance, coordination and judgment. If you've taken the time to make the effort to improve your physical conditioning and your overall health, why would you take all those steps backwards and impede you improvements by drinking too much alcohol?
Take it easy next time and slow down. Not so many.
Until Next Time

5 Quick Tips on Eating Out So that You Still Loose Weight
Eating Out and Maintaining Weight Loss
Yes it’s true you can still eat out and still loose weight. Now there are guidelines you should follow and I spent some time listing out the ones that are quick and easy to implement right away when eating out.
Order a salad with chicken or meat. Yah I know it sounds boring but you and I both know that when ordering another entrée that you will get all the added extras that yes taste great but hinder your weight loss progress.
Ask for dressings and extras on the side so that you can add as little as you need and not have the restaurant decide how much of the bad stuff you get.
If you want an entrée that just seems too much for you see if you’re friend or significant other will split it with you that way you still get what you want but not more than that.
Remember to read the whole menu. We are only human and usually we will get the first good thing we see. Take the time to read the menu and find something with more veggies than potato’s.
Don’t be afraid to ask the waiter what the food is made with. Is that made with cream? Does that have butter? If you ask and find out that the case is yes it’s made with those extra’s see if the chef can skip it.
Remember this is you’re body and no one or place should decide what you fuel you’re body with so take the time to research the food you eat and you’ll find that you can still eat out and maintain the weight loss.
