Everyone wants a flat and tight stomach.  Right?  But, it is one of the most difficult things to do, especially in this country with all the processed foods, fast-food joints, and convenient food items.  And let’s be honest, belly fat is not attractive in the least, unless you are a chubby chaser. 

Being an Orange County personal trainer, the most sought after goal, is a flat and tight stomach.  And for men, that is more difficult, since the stomach area is the first place fat comes on and the last place fat comes off.  Also, there are tons of foods that contribute to belly fat.

First, you just can’t spot reduce fat.  You have to reduce your overall body fat percentage.  If you keep getting leaner, eventually all the fat on your stomach will dissappear.   Unfortunately, most people do not stick on any type of fat-loss program long enough, or the right one to see any dramatric results. 

Personal Training in Orange County, my team and I have helped hundreds of people drop fat and get amazingly tight and lean bodies.  And it is pretty simpe.  The secret is consistency and having set goals.  We do that for our clients.  Just check out the before and after below.

If you just stick to a proven program consistently and have a method to measure your progress, you will get lean enough to get that flat and tone stomach.  You just can’t quit.

That’s right, I am not only an Orange County Personal Trainer, but I am also a marriage counselor.  I know, you are probably thinking, “what is this guy talking about?”  Well, couples that stay fit together have better marriages than those that don’t.

I have been personal training in Orange County for several years now, and from my experience, the couples that I have seen that work out and value their health, not only have much more in common, but also have much better marriages.  Besides, what a great way to bond with your mate.  Staying or getting in shape with your significant other will do so much for not only your marriage, but your body and health as well.

Train hard and eat even smarter.

Personal Trainers are a dime a dozen in Orange County.  Most of them are not even certified with any credible certifications.  Some of these personal trainers just look good and call themselves personal trainers.

But, I want you to make the right choice for you when selecting a personal trainer in Orange County.

Here are some guidelines for you to go by:

1.  Make sure they are certified with a credible association such as Nesta, ISSA, or Ace.

2.  Make sure they are in great shape themselves.

3.  Make sure they know nutrition very well.  It is better if they have certified nutritionist on staff.  This is very important as nutrition is 80% of it.  This is where most personal trainers fail.

4.  Make sure they understand your goals and are supportive of that.

5.  And make sure you like their personality.

Good luck and keep training hard.

Many of our clients in Orange County, especially women, complain about the cottage cheese on their ass.  If I had cottage cheese on my ass I would complain to.  But, not to worry.  You can get rid of the cottage cheese to a large extent. 

First, you have to get your overall body fat down, through effective training and nutrition.  Second, there are certain advanced training techniques you can use that attack the butt.

Here are some great butt exercises you should incorporate into your training:

-wide barbell squats

-walking lunges

-lying leg curls

-leg abductors

-leg kick backs

These exercises will help you with better glute development.

A great advance strategy to really firm up the butt are wind sprints, stadiums and running in the sand.  I suggest doing a mix of this 3 times per week for 30 minutes duration.  You will see a huge difference in your butt.

Here is to kicking some ass.

I get asked this question all the time, “How do I build big biceps?”  As a personal trainer in Orange County, most people are walking around in 70 degree weather, with most of their body exposed.  And of course, all of our clients want to look great.  And the men, all want nice, muscular arms.

First, there are three basic exercises every person must incorporate in their workout to build muscular arms.  There are the standing barbell curls, preacher barbell or dumbbell curls, and standing alternating dumbbell curls.  These three exercises should serve as a foundation of your biceps workout.

The standing barbell curl is a great size builder.  When you perform it, make sure you don’t use your shoulders at all.  Most people cheat by moving their shoulders so they can lift more weight.  The preacher curls which are performed on a preacher bench are great to fill in the lower biceps, to give you that complete full biceps.  You can perform this with either a barbell or dumbells.  I suggest you mix it up.  And lastly, the standing alternating curls are performed with dumbbells.  Make sure you supinate (rotate your palms outwards as you bring the weight up) each hand to maximize your bicep development.

Here’s to building some big biceps.

Every guy I know wants six pack abs.  And women, of course they want a flat and tone stomach.  But, most people are going about all wrong.  First, it does not matter how many crunches or leg raises you do.  You simply can’t spot reduce fat.  In order for you to get six pack abs and a flat stomach, you need to decrease your overall body fat levels low enough so you can see six pack abs.

The best method is combination of whole-body workouts with weights and intelligent nutrition.  The whole body workouts will do a couple of things for you.  One, they will help you build more muscle, which in turn will increase your metabolism.  Second, the whole-body workouts will burn many more calories and leave your metabolism jamming for 24 to 48 hours afterwards.  Imagine how much fat you will burn in that time.  And three, these whole-body workouts will stimulate your own growth hormone, which is your fat burning hormone.

Next is diet.  This is a place where most falter.  People have no clue how to effectively eat to lose body fat.  First, take all the processed foods at of your diet.  What are processed foods?  Anything that has been chemically altered.  Such as anything in a box.  Second, avoid sugar and flour.  These two products will stimulate your fat-storage hormone, insulin.  You don’t want that.  Third, make sure you are eating 5 to 6 small healthy meals per day in order to stimulate your metolism.

There you go.  Follow these guidelines and I will see some lean and ripped people walking around.  Until next time, take care and keep burning the fat.

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving.  Thanksgiving is day of family, friends, and great old fashioned cooking.  A time to come together and to remember how thankful we should be for the blessings we have as we unbutton our pants and dive into a world of delicious foods. 

Hey, I am not going to tell you that you should watch your diet on Thanksgiving.  No way.  I say have a great time and endulge yourself.  But, I am here to give you a great tip to burn off those excess calories the day after Thanksgiving.

First, take all your complex carbohyrdates out of your diet the day after, such as potatoes, bread, yams, rice, you know, the good stuff.  This will force your body to turn to its body fat as fuel, thus helping you become leaner.

Second, you should eat a combination of lean proteins (egg whites, chicken breasts, turkey, lean meat, fish) with fibrous carbohydrates (broccoli, aspargus, green beans, spinach, etc.).  The protein will stimulate your fat-burning hormone.

And third, yoiu need to do a whole body weight resistance workout with some interval training at the end.  This will boost your metabolism big time.

Well, there you go.  Have a great time and keep burning the fat.

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!

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.
