Northshore Danvers Bootcamp Instructor Shows You how to Meal Plan

Okay so I talk about meal planning all the time. Do you really have time to prepare your meals every day?

It’s as simple as this:

I decided to share with you my meal plan for the day and what I eat.

First thing when I wake up: Prograde Protein Shake with a banana.

Depending on weather I am running a my Danvers bootcamp or not here is what is next and this is what I mean when I say adjust your calorie intake for what you are doing that day.

Northshore Danvers Bootcamp Day: Another Prograde Protein Shake about an hour and a half after the first shake. You have to understand that I am consuming about 300 grams of protein a day, so I get it in different forms.

Non-bootcamp day: After my morning Protein Shake I wait about an hour or so and then make breakfast:

Breakfast: 5 Eggs scrambled with low fat cheese, serving of oatmeal with a packet of equal, and 4 slices of Turkey Bacon. If you have never had turkey bacon it cooks really quickly so keep an eye on it.

Snack: either a quarter cup of trail mix or 2 rice cakes with 2 tablespoons of peanut butter.

Lunch: about 5-6oz of either Chicken or Lean Steak with brown rice. I usually use 2 tablespoons of salsa to spice up the rice.

Snack: Whatever I didn’t eat for my first snack I will eat for this snack.

Dinner: Here is where it can change again, if I am working out then I will have a Prograde protein shake and right after the workout, another Prograde protein shake.

Non-workout Day Dinner: Again 5-6oz of Chicken or Lean Steak with Brown Rice with the salsa.

My snack before night time is usually a half cup of cottage cheese with a quarter cup of cashews.

Now my snacks do change from time to time as I might have 3 sticks of low-fat string cheese, or a high protein yogurt with walnuts added.

So there you have it my meal plan for the day. Now how do I put all of this together? Simple, I take 20 minutes the night before and prepare all of these meals so that I can just stick my hands in the gym and take what I need right there and then making it super easy for me to stay on track. I am on the go most of the time so I don't complicate my life with not being prepared.

It’s easy when you plan.

Fail to plan, plan to lose.

See ya next time.

Northshore Fat Blast Boot Camp Offers Beach Ready Body In 4 Weeks

WHO ELSE DO YOU KNOW WHO WOULD LIKE TO HAVE A "BEACH READY BODY"?

Summer is right around the corner so it’s time make sure that you’re swimsuit ready. To help you get in ‘Beach shape’ I’ve come up with a special Beach Body Offer. What is the Beach Body Offer? Well simply it is the same program that the following people have had great success with and well I know you will too, the hardest part is saying yes after that it's all about the fat loss.

Check out the following testimonials to see how these people have done with this program. Awesome Stories

Would getting ‘beach ready’ increase your confidence when you’re by the pool, on vacation or shopping for the right outfit? Would it make you happier and enable you to enjoy this summer even more? Enhance your love life? It might very well do all of those things!

By the way, be wary of those gimmicks from late night TV. In virtually all cases they’ll leave you disappointed when it comes to Beach season. What's funny is that I have tried some of those things years ago and was left feeling disappointed with no results and what to do next.

The 2 free tryout weeks for my bootcamps are scheduled to start next week on the 16th thru the 25th but I have decided to offer a special. I am taking the first 2 people that email me first and have them start this week June 9th which gives you an extra free week of bootcamp class and a week closer to your beach body.

If you haven't already check out what my campers are doing already
http://www.youtube.com/user/fitnesscoachmichael

Remember if you want to get in now be the first 2 to email me back and you get in this week starting Tuesday which will add an extra week to your bootcamp tryouts for FREE. No obligation.

Why not come in yourself or send a family member or close friend and see just how easy and painless it can be to have a Beach Ready Body this summer?

Sincerely,
Mike

Danvers Ma Bootcamp Instructor Gives you an Easy Home Lower Body Workout

Danvers Ma Bootcamp Instructor Give you an Easy Home Lower Body Workout:

I was extremely exhausted last night since I was trying to make sure to pack everything for my road trip to NJ for Business. I knew I hadn’t worked out since Monday and I knew the chances were that I would not work out Thursday night after the drive down.

So I put together a quick 30 minute workout that was effective but not overwhelming on my body. Now this was an all lower body workout without any equipment meaning you can do this right from the comfort of your living room.

I use some of these very same exercises for my Fast Blast Bootcamp in Danvers.

Each Exercise can be done a couple of different ways and it’s all in your preference.

You can either use a method of timing the exercise for 30 seconds or using a repetition method and counting how many you are doing. Usually a good rep count would be between 10-20 reps.

I put it together as follows:

1. Start with Standard Squats and then a pause at the bottom position for 10 seconds or 5 if you are a first timer and then repeat one more time for another 10 and another pause for 10 seconds.

2. Move to in place lunges using either the Timed or Rep Method of counting your reps.

Repeat the above 1 more time before moving on to the next mini-circuit.

1. Jump squats are next for 10-15 reps

2. Followed by wide pray squats for 10-15 reps

Repeat the above 1 more time before moving on to the next mini-circuit.

For the Mini-Circuit below you will start at one wall in your house where you have enough room and doing the exercise to the other wall and then back.

1. Walking lunge up, down, up, down.

2. Jump Squats across the floor up, and then down.

3. Jumping jacks 20 reps

Repeat the above 1 more time before moving on to the next mini-circuit.

1. Jump Switch Squats

2. Repeat these 1 more time

Check it out live on video for a quick tutorial on how to do these exercises.

Lower Body Home Workout

There you have it doing these mini-circuits back to back with a 1-2 minute rest in between will have you sweating and have your legs feeling like they have never been worked before.

Until Next Time

Mike

Davners Ma Bootcamp Instructor Talks about Training For Intensity

Danvers Bootcamp Instructor Talks about Training for Intensity

I got to thinking about this over the last couple of weeks. You see I have been working out with a couple of good friends of mine who want to get back into shape and I basically invited them into my training sessions 3 times per week.

I will say that they are making incredible progress and I am pumped about that. During these sessions though I am all business.

My workouts are only about 45 -50 minutes long but they are extremely intense. My buddies have said to me several times during these sessions:

Your Crazy, wow man when you gonna stop, is it always 5 more. I tell them the only way I know how to train is with INTENSITY. I go all out and I don't stop for 45 minutes.

Why well that's what feels right for me and it is the time frame when 95% of us who train know that we are coming to the end of a workout that is if we are giving it our all.

You see most of us go to the gym in hopes of losing weight, building muscle, obtaining six pack abs, whatever the reason you go to the gym you know that the goals above are not easy to reach.

I use intensity in everyone one of my ML Athletics Bootcamps which are held in Danvers.

They are possible though and that is what I am here to tell you. You need to take a look at how you train, meaning how hard you train when you are at the gym. Take a look at the people on the biggest loser, now take a look at the trainers on that show and how hard they push those people.

Do you push yourself as hard as those trainers push the biggest loser trainees?

You need to train for maximum intensity when you're in the gym, think about it you're only there for what, say maybe an hour or so. What if I told you that you could take the hour and a half that you're normally working out and turn that into a 45 minute intense training session that would burn more calories than what you would in your hour and a half.

Maybe you're the type of person that likes spending that amount of time in the gym, talking it up, and not getting anything done. I bet you still look the same as when you purchased that gym membership.

Sorry for the blunt words but take a look at how you train and the next time you say to yourself, I'm not losing any weight and I can't figure out why well I think you'll know why.

I hope you take action because sitting around and lying to yourself about how hard you train just won't do.

Until Next Time

Mike

Danvers Bootcamp MLAthletics Mini-Ab Circuit Workout

Danvers Bootcamp ML Athletics Mini-Ab Circuit Workout

Here is a mini-ab circuit that you can do anywhere. No weights required. I incorporate these into my Danvers Bootcamp program.

As a personal trainer/ bootcamp instructor I am always designing quick and intense workouts that help my clients lose the most amount of fat in the shortest amount of time. Most people think that having a lean mid-section comes with just working them out and while this is half true the other half has to do with nutrition.

Don’t forget to eat right so that you get the most out of your ab workouts. That layer of fat above your abs is there and you won’t get rid of it just by working out.

For more on eating right check out Nutrition 101.

Here is your Danvers Bootcamp Ab Circuit workout for a chiseled mid-section.

Start with a low plank and hold here for 10-30 seconds then without bringing your knees to the floor move into a high plank for another 10-30 seconds.

Take a 30 second break if you need to but if you don’t then go into a Low Plank to High Plank for reps about 20 reps.

Take a 30 second break if you need to but if you don’t move into an in place mountain climber for 20 reps each leg and then move into a Cross Mountain Climber for another 20 reps each leg.

Repeat workout 2x’s for a total of 3 circuits. Click on this link to view the circuit done live by me at Ab Circuit Workout that way you can see the exercises done one by one.

That is the Danvers Bootcamp workout and should take you no more than 10-15 minutes to complete 3 circuits of it. You will need to rest of course during the middle of it at first but as you get stronger and have more stamina you won’t need any rest.

Remember nutrition is the key to reaching your fitness goals. Weight loss is how are bodies are defined in society.

Keep Burning Fat

Your Personal Trainer / Bootcamp Instructor
