Age is just a number or is it when it comes to weight loss

As a personal trainer I have trained hundreds of people whether it’s one on one or leading an exercise class. What always amazes me is the lady who is usually 45 plus years old, highly motivated and in terrific shape who goes all out exercising. Yea, her hair is grey or it’s dyed black which makes her look younger. Her body doesn’t recuperate as quickly, she stays sore a little longer than she did ten years ago and its slightly obvious class is a little more of a struggle tha

Creating Your Own Fat Burning Exercise Program

If you are sick you go to a doctor. If you have a toothache you go to the dentist. When you want your hair cut or styled you go to a barber or beautician. However, when you want to improve your health and fitness or lose weight which will add years to your life you go to the gym and look at which machines you think may work for you or you take 5-10 minutes and jot down a quick workout.

How to Manifest Your Weight Lost?

If you have ever read the book or seen the movie “The Secret” or have come across other motivational materials usually the message is “the things you concentrate on the most you bring into your life”. Reality is you can wish, think and dream about weight loss 24/7 but until you get off your “butt” and exercise and change your eating habits you are not going to lose weight. You can pray and hope all day and night but until you put in some work you are not going to magically be

#1 Exercise Program For Baby Boomers

Seems like just yesterday you were doing high impact aerobic exercise classes, Billie Blanks Tae-bo Bootcamp or some other quick weight loss workout. But actually yesterday was about 10 or 15 years ago. You are not in your 20’s or 30’s anymore but 40’s, 50’s or even in the 60’s. The VHS tapes are gathering dust, the once body fitting spandex are with the dust cloths and the stepper is now something the kids or grandkids play with. You look at pictures of twenty years ago and

Drinking Alcohol and Weight Loss

As a personal trainer one of the questions I am most often asked is, “Can I still drink alcohol while I am on a weight loss program“? Usually they have already determined I am going to say “no”. However, when I say of course you can they are very surprised. There is a little caveat– you have to be willing to accept the consequences of your actions. Look, drinking beer or your favorite glass of wine doesn’t mean you should blame the weight gain on the alcohol. A shot of alcoho
