When starting a workout program, we often tend to go for the all or nothing approach. We jump in head first with both guns blazing.

This approach often leads to burnout, frustration, and injury. However, when approached in a consistent fashion that is customized to your specific needs, you will see fantastic results. And, have loads of fun in the process.

The following are 5 tips to say focused, enthused, and on track with your workouts:

1. Build Your Foundation: This is the most important factor of them all. Your future successes or failures all stem from the amount of attention and time you dedicate towards building your foundation.
Muscle activation, core stabilization, breathing, tempo, form, selection, and execution of movements are all crucial factors to your weight loss and fitness success.

2. Be Yourself: Stop trying to keep up with the proverbial Fitness Jones’s. Whether you exercise in a commercial gym, with a partner, or in group setting, do not try to keep up with others that are more advanced than you.
Often times we see others lifting more weights than us or using more advanced moves than we are capable of.
In an attempt to keep up, we sacrifice form and risk injury in the process.
Don’t let your ego get in the way. Always use perfect form, even if it means using a lighter weight.

3. Know Your Limitations: This principle goes hand in hand with the Be Yourself principle, but it cannot be overstated enough.
We are not all physically the same. Some of us have physical limitations that prevent us fro safely doing particular movements.
Whether it’s age, previous injuries, or any number of situations, do not let your ego get in the way. There are progressions and regressions to every fitness movement. Be smart and maximize what you have, while working within your limitations.

4. Step Up The Pace: There will come a time when you become an efficient fat burning machine. Movements that you once dreaded will seem effortless.
You need to address this situation or you run the risk of boredom, burnout, and stagnation.
Increasing focus, increasing weights (resistance), and progressing to more complex movements will keep your progress ongoing and consistent.
Which leads us to…

5. Keep It Interesting: Make sure to mix up your workouts on a consistent basis. Doing so will keep your enthusiasm high and keep you coming back for more. Remember, you don’t have to be in love with every workout.
Rather, you should focus on results and be proud of yourself for making the conscious effort to improve.

Following these 5 simple steps will guarantee you achieve your weight loss and fitness goals.

Be sure to contact me if you have any questions or concerns regarding your health and fitness. I’d love to hear what you have to say!

There is a lot of confusion and misconception surrounding the fitness industry and personal training is no exception. When you decide to hire a personal trainer you are basically relying on luck to find someone who you can trust with your health and fitness needs.

Often times people make the mistake of lumping all personal trainers into one category… thinking that they are all the same. Nothing could be further from the truth. As in all professions there are good trainers, bad trainers and a select few that are exceptional at what they do.

Always Look For The Best

• When you look for an attorney to represent you, you look for the best.
• When you look for a doctor to treat you, you look for the best.
• When you look for a financial planner to take care of your assets, you look for the best.
• When you look for a personal trainer to take care of your health & fitness needs, you should also look for the best.

Looking for and hiring an exceptional fitness trainer is one of the smartest investments you can make.

To help you with your search I have compiled a list of 7 criteria that every qualified fitness professional should possess:

1. National Certifications- The American Council on Exercise, American College of Sports Medicine & National Strength & Conditioning Association are the Gold Standards of Certification. Every fitness trainer should have, at bare minimum, a certification with one of these agencies. A certification through one of these agencies means that the trainer has passed the bare minimum requirements to call himself a personal trainer; it does not guarantee trainer competence.

I currently have 3 national certifications through the American Council on Exercise (ACE):
o ACE Certified Clinical Exercise Specialist
o ACE Certified Lifestyle & Weight Management Consultant
o ACE Certified Personal Trainer

2. References &Testimonials- A true fitness professional should be able to do more than talk about how good he is… he should be able to show proof that he can deliver results in the form of client testimonials and verifiable references.
Log on to my website, http://OCFitnessChallenge.com, and click on Testimonials to view some recent Orange County success stories.

3. Programs- A quality fitness trainer should do more than take you through a workout and count your reps. He should have programs in place which will educate you about all of the aspects that will contribute to your achievement of total health and fitness. Your fitness trainer should help you set goals, develop a specific plan of action, and hold you accountable while supporting and motivating you through the entire process.
I have developed a series of customized programs, one of which I’m sure will fit your needs.

4. Assessments- Fitness assessments should be taken at the onset of your fitness program to give you a baseline from which to track your progress. These should include circumference measurements, skinfold measurements, cardiovascular, strength, and flexibility tests.

5. Guarantee- The weight loss and fitness industry is the only industry that I know of where a person will try a program or regimen and blame herself when she fails to get results. You should not waste your time or money on a fitness trainer who does not have the confidence to offer you a guarantee of your success.
I offer a 100% money back guarantee on all of my programs and services.

6. Professional Rates- If you want a quality fitness professional, you are going to pay professional rates. As with anything in life, you get what you pay for. Any personal trainer who charges bargain rates is going to be lacking in some way. You should definitely seek out and work with the best trainer in your area. It will mean the difference between getting lasting results and wasting your valuable time and money.
Note: If money is a limiting factor, ask the trainer if he will allow for less frequent meetings.

7. Empower Your Life- A true fitness professional will do more than just help you achieve your goals and send you on your way. A quality fitness trainer will empower you with the knowledge and education necessary to keep your results ongoing and lasting.

Utilizing these criteria will help you find a quality fitness trainer that will help you get the results you want in the shortest amount of time possible.

Traditional Exercise vs. Circuit Training
Most resistance training routines are developed using the “straight set” principle. Using the straight set principle, you perform one exercise at a time for a specific number of sets and reps before moving to the next exercise. You will usually rest for a predetermined amount of time between each set. Shorter rest periods are used to build lean muscle and burn fat. Longer rest periods are used to develop maximum strength and power.

Exercise routines using the straight set principle are beneficial if you are a beginner because they allow you to perform one exercise at a time in a repetitive fashion. This gives you a chance to completely concentrate on the form and technique of one exercise before moving on to the next.

For example, if your workout consists of 3 sets of 10 reps on the leg press, you would perform your first set of leg press for 10 reps and rest for 45 seconds; then you will perform your second set of leg press for 10 reps and rest for 45 seconds; then you will perform your last set of leg press and move to your next exercise. Each exercise would be performed in this fashion until your workout is complete.

This format is great for learning form and technique, but it is extremely inefficient for getting maximum fat loss results in the minimum amount of time possible.

If you’ve been to a traditional gym in the past, you’ve probably seen the following scenario:
Joe decides to perform 3 sets of 10 reps on the leg press. He completes his first set of 10 reps on the leg press talks with his buddies, gets a drink of water, and casually sits down to perform his second set of leg press. Joe will go through this same ritual before completing his third set.

Done in this fashion, most people wait about 3 – 5 minutes between each set. This means that 3 sets of 10 reps of an exercise can take as long as 15 minutes to complete. At this rate, it could take you 1 hour to complete four exercises! This is not very efficient use of your time.

Circuit Training For Rapid Fat Loss
The circuit training format is a much more effective and efficient format of resistance training.
Utilizing this format, you will perform one exercise, rest for a very short time, and then perform a different non-competing exercise. When you have completed that exercise, rest for a short period of time and perform the next non-competing exercise. You will continue in this fashion until all of the exercises are completed. This is considered a full circuit.

Alternating sets in a continuous “circuit” allows you to work different parts of your body when you would usually be resting using the straight set method. This method allows for maximum fat loss results with minimum use of your time.

Circuit Training in Action:
The following is an example of one of my favorite circuit routine formats:
The 50-10 Five Exercise Circuit: You will alternate between 50 seconds of work and 10 seconds of rest for all five exercises in the following 5-minute circuit:

Exercise#1- Squats

Exercise#2- Push-ups

Exercise#3- Single-Leg Hip Extensions

Exercise#4- Dumbbell Rows (Heavy Pants)

Exercise#5- Mountain climbers

Perform this circuit up to four times for a 20-minute total body fat burning workout.

In the same 15 minutes that it takes to perform 3 sets of bench press in the big box gyms you can perform 3 circuits of 5 different exercises for a whopping total of 15 work sets! And, the intensity of each exercise is just as high as in the straight set format because in this 5 phase circuit you will have a full four minutes of recovery before you return to any given exercise- just as you did with the straight set format that was previously described.

The key to creating the optimal environment for rapid fat loss is to perform each exercise with maximal intensity while separated by brief periods of rest in order to accumulate a high volume of total body work in the shortest amount of time possible. Circuit training provides for the best of both worlds and is thus unmatched for simultaneously maximizing fat loss and lean muscle gain. Use the following template I use with my many BodySculpting clients for some simple, yet highly effective rapid fat loss circuits:

Exercise#1- Double-Leg

Exercise#2- Push

Exercise#3- Single-Leg

Exercise#4- Pull

Exercise#5- Core

This ensures that you get maximum guidance from the instructor and the most effective fat blasting workout possible.
Your ultimate benefit is our #1 goal!!

Lose The “Gym” & Lose The Weight!

With the Body Sculpt Rapid Fat Loss Program you will banish stubborn belly fat and tighten your entire body, including your Hips, Butt, Tummy, and Thighs, with as little as 3 short workouts per week.
