Your Fat Loss Year In Review

This time of year, you need to review your year of fat loss. How did you do?

Do you have less body fat and weigh less? Or, did you gain weight and your body fat increased? Are you eating healthier than you did last year? Is your health better (schedule that physical exam!)? Did you have a good meal plan to follow? Honestly answer these questions!

If you have not made progress with your fat loss and weight loss, you need to determine the reasons why.

Your clothes should be fitting looser, your body should be more toned, you should be able to do some type of interval cardio (instead of slow-paced cardio), you should be able to get through a 30 minute circuit weight training workout, etc.

Here are some observations that I see in some people:

1. Some of you are still doing the same poorly designed workouts and getting the same "little or no success results" from your workouts. You're still throwing your money away at these gyms.

2. Then, there are those who have decided to follow a workout program they found in a fitness magazine.....this is better than you trying to figure it all out on your own but a program found in a magazine is not individualized for your specific fat loss needs and goals.

3. There's a group of you who have already given up the fight to get fit because you are overwhelmed.....you don't believe you can really get a "leaned out" body.

4. Some still think they can eat like they always have and just workout longer and harder. The only problem with this tactic is that it does no good to burn 500 calories during a workout and later eat 900 calories of bad food.

5. Some are still wasting money on pills, patches, creams and fat-burner supplements......its the workouts and good nutrition that will get you fit!

6. There's still a group of you who haven't figured out that it takes hard, smart workouts to get fit......you need to learn how to workout hard.

7. And, some have gym memberships they still aren't using.

Whatever the case, it doesn't have to be that way......don't underestimate the value of well-designed fitness program put together by a certified personal trainer. It makes all the difference because you get direction, feedback and encouragement from a trainer who is fit and knows what it takes to get fit and stay fit.

Burn Fat And Lose Weight Before January

You have 2 weeks to burn fat and lose weight before January! Don't let these 2 weeks go to waste! You can make alot of progress with your fitness, fat loss and weight loss before January. In other words, don't make a New Year's resolution. Start today and make a lifetime commitment to health and fitness. You will like the long-term results much better.

There are some medical exceptions but the cause of weight gain for most of us is that we love food too much. Don't blame your weight gain on your "slow metabolism!".......A slow or sluggish metabolism is not the major cause of weight gain.

A caloric imbalance is the cause of weight gain (consuming more calories than you burn in a day). If you want to speed up your metabolism and burn more calories then exercise regularly (strength training and cardio exercise). Also, eat right and often. Eating small meals every 3-4 hours will keep your metabolism humming and will keep your body from shifting to "starvation mode" (storing fat).

Don't wait until January, start practicing these good eating and exercise habits today!

Do you need help with meal planning? Don't wait until January! Start taking steps now! The last time I checked, we all eat every day!

Stabilize Deep Core Muscles

Stabilize your deep core muscles with exercises like the stability ball plank, a great core exercise to advance you from the plank exercise on the floor.

The ball plank strengthens and stabilizes your deep, foundational core muscles even more than the regular plank. Balancing on the ball while holding the plank position is not easy! Your deep, foundational core muscles are more important than your "six pack abs!"



1. Place your elbows on the ball and balance on your toes while keeping your body in a straight line.

2. Hold the plank position for a count of 5-10 seconds without moving. The ball will move, so it is a challenge to hold the right alignment. This will obviously improve your balance. Your abs and shoulders will also work much harder.

Keep your head in line with your torso and brace your torso (as if taking a punch to the gut).
