Orange County Personal Trainer Reveals The 5 Biggest Fat-Loss Mistakes

November 16th, 2008

Most people are trying to lose weight and get into great shape.  But, they are doing all the wrong things.  And I know, it’s so hard with all the conflicting misinformation out there.  Who do you trust?  Well, I am going to give you some clarity on the subject of fat-loss. 

Here are the 5 Biggest Mistakes That People Are Making:

1.  Using slow-paced cardio to lose fat.

     This is a huge misconception.  Slow-paced cardio only boosts your metabolism for a couple of hours    

     after your session.  A better alternative is weight resistance, where you metabolism will be boosted for

     48 hours.  Plus, lifting weights builds fat-burning muscle.  The more muscle, the more fat you will burn.

2.  Eating low-carb diets.

     Low-carb diets just break down your fat-burning muscle tissue and slow down your metabolic rate.  That

     is what you don’t want.  You want to follow a more balanced diet program that promotes fat loss and

     muscle tone.

3.  Low-fat diets.

     Your body needs good fats, such as nuts, avocados, olives, flaxseed, etc.  With low-fat diets, people start

     eating too many carbs, which jacks up your insulin levels, thus making you fatter and fatter.

4.  Relying on fat-loss pills.

     Most of these fat-loss pills are bogus and do not work.  You know there is no regulation of supplements

     to carry the ingredients they say they carry.  Save your money and invest in a good program and good

     foods.

5.  Skipping meals, such as breakfast.

     When you skip meals your metabolism just slows down.  Your body has a survival mechanism.  So, you

      want to eat at least 5 to 6 small, healthy meals per day, which will skyrocket your metabolism and have

      you burning tons of fat.

So, avoid these 5 traggic mistakes and start burning some fat and getting into great shape.  Good luck and be fit.

 

To your health,

The Truth To Losing Belly Fat.

October 24th, 2008

Everybody wants a beautiful set of abs. For men, it’s the rock hard six pack abs, and for women, it’s the flat and tone stomach. No matter what sex you are, there is no doubt that a nice, flat stomach is much more attractive than a bulging belly. But, how do you get that flat stomach?

There is so much hype out there, from all the over commercialized ab gadgets you see on tv the supposedly miracle fat-loss supplements. Trust me when I tell you this, you don’t need any of that crap.

I am going to shed some light on the truth to losing belly fat. There are a few things you need to know if you are ever going to have a tight and tone stomach:

1. Long, boring, and monotnous cardio is not the best way to burn body fat. In fact, with long cardio you actually can burn valuable muscle tissue, thus slowing down your metabolism and fat burning.

2. You can’t spot reduce belly fat loss. You will lose body fat all over your body uniformally. This is a big misconception. Most people think that if they do hundreds of situps and crunches they are going to get a hard, ripped stomach. NOT TRUE!

3. You need to perform whole body workouts that are going to promote muscle tone. By doing whole body workouts, you will increase your metabolic rate and help release your own body’s growth hormone, thus burning more fat. This is a must.

4. Most of those fat-loss supplements out there do not work. Stop wasting your hard earned money on those pills. What you need is just good old-fashioned nutrition.

As you can see there are a lot of myths out there concerning belly fat loss. To lose belly fat and get a six pack stomach you need to focus on lose body fat all over your body. Here is a simple plan to start losing belly fat and getting that sexy, flat stomach that everyone wants.

1. Perform whole-body workouts at least 3 times per week.

2. Use advanced anerobic cardio, such as interval training, to burn even more fat.

3. Eat a balanced diet of raw foods, approximately 30% protein, 50% carbohydrates, and 20% fat. You can make individual changes based on your activity level.

4. Avoid fast food restaurants and eating out, as there are many hidden calories in the foods you are eating. Simply put, try to avoid as much processed foods as possible. It is these processed foods that are making Americans fatter and fatter.

5. Drink plenty of water. Drinking more water will help you flush out fatty acids and toxins.

6. Avoid caloric beverages. Drinking caloric beverages is just a big wast of calories. They don’t fill you up and that is a surefire way to consume a lot of calories.

Follow these recommendations and you will start losing pounds of belly fat, on your way to a flat stomach before you know it. It does take some effort to get a tight and flat stomach. But, if you want results you have never gotten before, then you need to do things you have never done.

Why America Is FAT?

October 2nd, 2008

America is fat.  Fatter than ever.  And is only going to get worse.  American’s culture has changed, which is also affecting their waistline.  Today, both the husbands and wives are working, leaving little time for good old fashioned home cooking.  Every corner you see a fast food joint, promising healthy meals.  What a joke.

Also, there is so many drugs and perservatives in the foods.  And it is these drugs that are you making Americans fat.  It wasn’t always like this.  Twenty years ago, people were not fat like this.  But, due to the overabundance of fast food places, processed foods, and lack of time, people are just getting fatter and fatter.

And the FDA does not care about you or your health.  They have been bought off by all the big food manufacturers, whose bottom line is pure profits.  So, what can we do to improve our health and our waistlines?  Simple.  Start eating more raw foods cooked at home.  Start cutting all the fast food out.  Avoid all the sodas and caloric drinks out there.  Eat alot of fruits of vegetables.  Trust me, once you start doing these simple things, you not only be dropping unwanted pounds, but also feel much healthier.

Remember, you are what you eat.  EAT SMART!

Do Bootcamps Really Work?

September 18th, 2008

I am asked this question all the time.   There is a place for bootcamps.  But, bootcamps do not compare to 1 on 1 personal training, not even close.  Here is an analogy for you.  Lets say you need a math tutor.  How far do you think you will get if you have a tutor is tutoring you and 12 other people versus a tutor who is just working with you and your specific issues? 

Bootcamps are great to save a little money and get a cookie cutter workout.  But, most people who do bootcamps hit a point where they plateau and can’t lose any more weight.  Whereas with 1 on 1 personal training, everything is customize to you and your goals, making sure you get the body and fitness you want as fast as possible. 

Here, at Getting Fit Personal Training everything we do from personal training to nutrition is customize to our clients, thier body types and their goals, getting them the exact results they want.  And we do.

Best Cardio Exercise You Can Do Anywere

August 25th, 2008

As a personal trainer here in Orange County, I am always asked, “What is the best form of cardio?”  That is a great question.  There are so many things you can do for cardio, from the treadmill to elyptical trainers.  But, what truly matters is that you can burn a high amount of calories in a short time. 

Another great criteria is that this form of cardio be something that you can do anywhere.  So, the best cardio and that is simple to do is the jump rope.  You see boxers doing jump rope all the time.  There is nothing quit like it.  Try it, and you will see how fast you run out breath.  In fact, doing 5 minutes of jump is equivalent to doing 15 minutes of stationary bike.   Now, that is great time management.  So, if you want to burn alot of calories, grab that rope and start jumping.

Yours in good health,

Do You Really Need Fat-Loss Pills?

August 20th, 2008

I get this question all the time.  People are constantly buying fat-loss pills, hoping to drop serious amounts of fat in a short period of time.  The reality is many of them do not even work.  People just end up spending tons of wasted money on them. 

If you want to lose body fat you need to concentrate on 3 things and onlly 3 things.  Those 3 things are weight-resistance, cardio, and intelligent nutrition.  The combination of those 3 things will give you the correct approach to losing body fat and reshaping your body.  However, there are some supplements that can aid in the fat-loss process.  But, if you are not using those basic 3 elements in your weight-loss program, you will never get the results you are looking for.

Lifting weights helps you add calorie-burning muscle.  The cardio is a finishing touch to burn excess calories and body fat.  And probably the biggest factor is nutrition.  For most people, nutrition is about 80% of the battle.  So, if you can master your nutrition, you will see massive results. 

Yours in health,

How Do I Eat Enough Fruits And Vegetables?

August 15th, 2008

Everyone knows that eating a wide variety of fruits and vegetables will make you healthier and prevent many of the diseases.  Yet, we just do not do it.  The USDA recommends we consume 10 to 13 servings of fruits and vegetables per day.  If we all did that, we would rarely get sick and see a huge reductions in many diseases and cancers.  Here is a startling fact, 70% of all deaths are diet related.

I recently discovered a phenomenal product that will get you 17 fruits, vegetables and grains each and every day.  It is 100% organic and 100% bio-available.  There are no preservatives or any artificial substances.  It’s called Juice Plus.  It comes in capsule form and it is way better than any multi-vitamin you could ever take.  It is equivalent to eating actual fruits and vegetables.  If you would like to learn more about this amazing product or get some go to www.getfitwithjuiceplus.com.
