Yes, it’s true! I have entered a 100 Rep Push-up Challenge with a couple of fitness professionals across the nation.

This Sunday (Superbowl Sunday) I will attempt to do 100 push-ups in a row.
I will film it, post it on You Tube, and post it on my blog for all the world
to see… Whether I make it or not.

If I make it, I’ll be happy. If I don’t, I’ll keep training until I do.
In other words, I will own 100 push-ups or die trying.

Why Am I Doing This?
I think it’s important for us to set goals and achieve them.
Whether it’s weight loss or achieving a personal best in some area of your life,
having something to strive for is good for your mind, your body, and your soul.

Also, I think it’s important for a person in my position to strive for something
he’s never done.
My job is to help people achieve their goals. How can I expect people to follow my advice if I don’t practice what I preach?

So, there you have it.
5 weeks ago I was able to do just over 50 push-ups.
I’m looking forward to seeing what I can do on Superbowl Sunday.
Wish me luck!

You might not have noticed, but… it’s December and Christmas is almost here!

Which means that it’s time for my annual fitness year in review.

Sadly, as a nation, America keeps getting fatter. The epidemic of overweight and obesity is rising at an alarming rate. In fact, one of the fastest growing sectors of the obesity crisis is our youth.

Yes, our children are getting fatter and sicker each and every year. Adult diseases, such as Type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure, are now found in children in large numbers. In fact, half of all new cases of Type 2 Diabetes are children.

However, on a positive note, I feel that 2009 will be host to several growing fitness trends that will provide the long-term answers to solve this ever-growing problem:

Fitness Trend#1- Semi-Private Training &Fitness Boot Camps Will Rise, One-On-One Personal Training Will Fall

If you listen to the news, you’ll know that our economy is struggling right now. Because of this, the average American does not have the disposable income for typical personal training rates that run about $50-$100 per session.

However, with every problem emerges a solution; Group training is the answer. Semi-Private training, such as my Body Sculpt Rapid Fat Loss classes, are probably the hottest thing in fitness right now. The group training business model creates the ultimate win-win for trainers and clients making the one-on-one alternative obsolete. Fitness trainers get to better leverage their time and maximize profits by working with an unlimited number of clients per hour. Fitness clients are able to better access personal training services in a unique and dynamic team environment that provides better social support and accountability for only a third of the cost of typical one-on-one training rates.

If you are trying to lose weight & feel great in 2009, do yourself a favor by saving your hard-earned money and get better results by joining a local Semi-private training class.

Fitness Trend#2- Interval Training Trumps Aerobic Training For Improved Fat Loss And Fitness Success

High-Intensity Interval Training is rapidly gaining popularity as the best form of improving both fitness and fat loss. Thankfully, 2009 will see more people doing sprints and less people doing marathons to lose weight. However, make no mistake about it, lots of people are still going to do hours of snail-paced cardio to try and burn fat.

Aerobic or endurance training is essentially going at a slow, low intensity pace for a long period of time (typically at least 30-60 minutes). In other words, the focus of endurance training is on the total volume of exercise (not quality). Think about all those cardio bunnies you see every New Year running for hours pounding the pavement or treadmill to get rid of that winter blubber. Sadly, this results in minimal fat loss and lots of overtraining injuries.

With interval training, the focus is on the intensity of exercise (quality). Intervals consist of alternating between shorts bouts of all out high-intensity effort and active recovery periods for a much quicker and focused amount of time (typically 10-20 minutes of intervals works best). This approach is scientifically proven to burn nine times more fat AND leads to faster improvements in fitness than the aerobic alternative.

Two landmark scientific studies come to mind here:

The Tabata study compared the effects of four minutes of high-intensity interval training with 45-60 minutes of low to moderate intensity cardio. The interval training group burned just as much fat as the endurance group and also had greater improvement in both anaerobic (think sprinters) and aerobic (think distance runners) fitness… in only four minutes!

The Gibala study compared the effects of 20 minutes of interval training (30 second sprint followed by four minutes of rest) with 90-120 minutes of endurance training in the “heartrate zone.” The conclusions of the study were that both methods of training lead to the same improvements in oxygen utilization (or aerobic fitness). In other words, intervals accomplished what endurance training did from a fitness standpoint in only a sixth of the time!

The time is now to jump on the interval training bandwagon. Come 2009, do yourself and your body a favor and start sprinting to look better naked.

Fitness Trend#3- Fruits, Veggies, And Fiber Are The Carbohydrate Addict’s Answer For Improved Health, Performance, and Body Composition

Americans are carb addicts. We simply can’t get enough starches and sugars in our diet, and we have the bulging midsections to prove it. One of the biggest misconceptions about diet today is that eliminated starches and sugars from your diet automatically means low carb. Better said, eliminating grains (even whole grains) and refined sugars still allows for consumption of the other carbohydrates: fruits and veggies. These nutrient-dense carbs are loaded with vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and fiber and create more stable blood sugar levels to keep your body burning fat all day long. All of my clients who have lost the most fat have followed my guidelines of unlimited veggies all day long. In other words, eat lots of veggies and very little of the other stuff if you want to see your abs!

Fiber (ideally obtained from fruits and vegetables, specifically green vegetables) helps slow digestion for a more steady supply of nutrients and sustained energy, it prevents overeating at each meal, and it helps keep you full between meals.

Without a doubt, people will be consuming more fruits and veggies next year, and their bodies will reap the rewards of this.

Well, those are the top fitness trends for 2009 according to my crystal ball. I hope the information in this article gives you the push you need to be the trendsetter for your own body and the bodies of those whom you care most about in the New Year!

More Fitness Tips

If you enjoyed this post, make sure you subscribe to my RSS feed!

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.

Resistance training is simply training your muscles against a resistance of some kind. The resistance can come from…

• Your own body weight.
• Free weights.
• Exercise machines (Note: not suggested for women).
• Resistance tubing.
• Medicine balls.
• Etc.

The whole purpose of resistance training is to overload your muscles by forcing them to do more work than they are normally accustomed to doing. Your body will react to this through adaptations that cause your muscles to get stronger, sleeker and more firm.

These adaptations to resistance training are what ultimately lead to the changes you will see and experience in your body. In short, resistance training is the KEY to reshaping your body.

By forcing your body to overcome an increasingly greater and greater resistance, you’ll burn more calories (even while you sleep) and speed your metabolism, leading to less bodyfat and an overall improvement in your appearance.

If you do nothing else in the way of exercise, make it resistance training. Resistance training alone will do a lot to change the way your body looks, feels, and operates…

…much more so than aerobics classes, walking on a treadmill, using a stair machine, or any other types of exercise combined.

But just like anything else…

It’s Not Just What You Do…It’s How You Do It!

For resistance training to exert its powerful body-changing effects, you must do it correctly. Like anything else in life, if you don’t do it right, you won’t experience the exact results you’re after.

Below you’ll find some very important tips for getting the most out of resistance training. By following these simple tidbits of advice, you’ll be sure to achieve significant results without expending tons of sweat equity, or wasting hours (maybe even months) of your valuable time doing things the wrong way.

Proper Exercise Form: Producing Results, Not Injuries

Proper exercise form cannot be overstated. By performing your exercises the right way, you’ll ensure you get the results you’re after as fast as humanly possible.

Perform resistance exercises the wrong way and not only will you not achieve the desired results…

…you run a high risk of injuring yourself along the way!

If you’re ever in doubt about how to perform an exercise the right way, or how to use any piece of fitness equipment PLEASE seek out a qualified fitness professional. Don’t just try to perform a free weight exercise if you’re not sure exactly what you’re doing.

By doing so, you’re not only depriving yourself of an effective, result-producing workout…

…you’re flirting with disaster.

If you need any help at all, PLEASE ask a qualified trainer. We take exercise very seriously. We’re highly trained in proper exercise form and performance, and most importantly…

We’re always happy to help you!

Tempo: The Right Way To Workout

If you’ve spent any time in the health club, you’ve no doubt seen people lifting free weights (or even using machines) by flinging the weights up and down as fast as they possibly can.

For some reason, these people think that using momentum, “body English”, and a severe jerking motion will lead to greater and faster results. While it’s true that using momentum will allow you to use heavier weights, it will NOT lead to faster results or even an improved appearance.

As I mentioned earlier, it’s not so much what you do…it’s how you do it that really counts when it comes to faster and better results. And one of the most important “how to” tips I can give you is the concept of proper exercise tempo.

Tempo simply means how fast you perform an exercise or lift a weight.

As I’ve already alluded to, going as fast as you can and using momentum is NOT the most effective way to do things. Each repetition of every exercise should be performed in a slow and controlled manner. Anything else is not only ineffective, it can lead to pulled/strained muscles, back pain, or a host of many other serious injuries.

Here’s a general rule you should follow when performing most free weight exercises…

Take roughly 2 seconds to lift the weight and 3-4 seconds to lower the weight under strict control. This will not only ensure you get the most benefit from the exercise…

…it will go a long way toward preventing any injuries!

By lifting the weight to a count of 2 and lowering it to a count of 3-4, you virtually eliminate any momentum from the exercise. This also allows you to place a greater demand on the muscle group you’re training, thus producing a better adaptive response. And that’s just a fancy, technical way of saying you’ll get better results with less wasted effort, in a much shorter time frame.

And better results in less time is the name of the game.

How To Breathe During Exercise

For many people, breathing seems to be the hardest part of exercise to grasp. While proper breathing is very important, it doesn’t have to be complicated or confusing.

The most important thing to remember when it comes to breathing is DON’T hold your breath. Holding your breath can lead to elevated blood pressure during your workout routine, which can result in dizziness or even fainting.

Here’s an easy way to make sure you’re breathing correctly while you workout…

Exhale on exertion. That means breathe out while you’re lifting the weight and breathe in while you lower the weight under control. For example, if you’re performing the overhead dumbell press, you should exhale as you lift the weight upwards above you and inhale as you lower it back down.

By following this simple breathing technique, you’ll not only perform each exercise more effectively, you’ll also be more comfortable while you’re working out. And that makes for a more enjoyable fitness experience, which will ultimately lead to better, faster results.

Now, Go Lift Something!

You now have some very valuable tips that are guaranteed to get you phenomenal results in your training routine. Don’t let all of this valuable knowledge go to waste. Go lift something.

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

My Fit Life Orange County Fitness Testimonials

“After suffering from lower back pain for about 2 years because of a compressed disk and a pinched nerve, I had reached the point where I could barely walk anymore. I walked stooped over and I was taking a lot of pain-killers just to get through the day. My Orange County chiropractor referred me to Al Morentin and I started an exercise program with him, meeting 3 days a week. In about 2 months, I was able to stand straight and now, after 5 months, I am totally pain free. It is such a blessing to be able to work and travel and care for my husband and kitties once again — without pain. You have no idea.”
– Carol Geisbauer, Yorba Linda, CA.

“I’ve participated in many exercise and diet programs over the years, but none as completely effective as the Total Body Makeover. Having gained 10-15 pounds over the last couple of years I was determined to give it a good effort. The nutrition instruction was extremely helpful and the exercise routines were both effective and enjoyable. I lost 18 pounds of fat, 2 pant sizes, and firmed up in all areas. I highly recommend the 16 Week Total Body Makeover to anyone who is interested in improving their shape, weight, eating habits, and overall health!”
– Amy Prenovost, Brea, CA

“The Total Body Makeover changed my life. I went from a size 12 to a size 4 and lost 7 inches in my waist! I’m in better shape than I was in my early 20’s! I can work out at home very easily without a lot of unnecessary equipment. I can’t believe the results that I’ve achieved in a very short time! I’ve been able to maintain my results very easily; it’s been a year now since I started the program.”
– Pam Jacob, Fullerton, CA

“When I began the My Fit Life workout program, I had tendonitis in one knee, a pinched nerve in my neck, and pain from fibromyalgia and osteoarthritis. The only exercise I got was walking the dog in the morning and occasionally riding a stationary bike. I was afraid to work out with weights since I’d injured myself while working out at a circuit-type gym in Orange County.
Al assured me my problems were due to weakened muscles that were causing stress on my joints, and that I was eating foods that were contributing to the pain in my muscles. I’ve steadily gotten stronger, my pinched nerve is almost gone, and the tendonitis is totally gone. The pain from fibromyalgia and osteoarthritis has improved so much that I rarely take any anti-inflammatory medications any more. My muscle mass has increased, my balance and flexibility are improved, and the fat stores in my body have decreased. My energy level is up and I’m sleeping better at night.”
– Kathy Pratt RN, BSN, PHN, Fullerton, CA

“I’ve know Al Morentin close to twenty years. This is an individual that I trust with my health, my family’s health, and the health of my patients. Al is one of the most dedicated practitioners in helping people shape their lives in being healthier and happier. The man’s mission in life is about growth and improving himself and everybody that knows him, meets him, or is associated with him. This recommendation is my word that Mr. Morentin should be believed and followed.”
–Dr. Paul P. Alderete, D.C., QME, IME

Al’s Total Body Makeover has changed my life. I’m stronger, healthier and so much more positive about life, I feel the difference. Al’s program is truly one of the smartest approaches to every day living that you will ever invest in. This is not a typical diet plan; it is a “no nonsense”, practical and honest approach to every day nutrition and living. This is honestly a program that everyone can benefit from. I hope you enjoy it as much as I have!
– Mary Beth Hanifin, Fullerton, CA

Prior to meeting Al, I was already going to the gym 3-5 times a week. I was not seeing any results! After talking to Al at my initial consultation, I was motivated and enthusiastic about trying Al’s Total Body Makeover. Right away I started noticing that my clothes were getting loose and I was finally able to wear those ‘someday’ outfits I had saved in my closet. At the end of my 16 week program, I had lost 16 inches altogether and a total of 80 mm on the skinfold measurements. Being a teacher, I used to get sick just about every time the kids in the classroom got sick. During this school year, I only got sick one time. I truly believe this is directly related to the proper nutrition and exercise I learned from Al. My body’s immune system is healthier because I have taken the steps to live a healthier lifestyle.
– J.M., Placentia, CA

“What a tremendous difference the Total Body Makeover has made in my life! I love that it encompasses not only working out efficiently, but also eating in a way that will help me maintain a healthy lifestyle. I can’t believe how great I look and feel. I lost 4½ inches in my waist and 2¾ inches in each thigh.”
– Jessica Wendel, Fullerton, CA

“On April 24th of this year I begin a weight resistance program with Al Morentin. It had been many years since the last time I did any training of this sort so Al started me off nice and easy. I have gradually increased the size of the weights I use and people have started to notice a change in my body. To date, 11 weeks later, I have lost a total of 10 inches and 13 lbs.
What I especially liked about Al’s program was that everything he taught me could be done at home or at the gym. However, at home it was not necessary to have a full stock of gym equipment. On days when I didn’t see Al for training I was able to do my routine at home getting a great workout.
Al is a concerned and caring trainer. He is an expert in his field. His advice not only covers the physical aspect of getting into shape but also he can help his clients form improved eating habits to create a holistic program for getting into shape and becoming a healthier individual.
I would and have recommended Al to my friends without any hesitation. I believe Al is an individual with integrity who designs programs with the individual in mind, who gives his all to each client.”
– Gloria Ayala, Fullerton, CA

“Al Morentin’s approach to health & fitness is the best I’ve seen. He takes the time to educate you on every level so you understand what you are eating and how it affects your health. He helps you set realistic goals that are attainable through dedication to the program and he guarantees results to those who are committed. I feel very grateful to Al for everything he has taught me and I will continue to recommend him to anyone looking to start a new healthy lifestyle.”
– Tiffany Dozier-Houck, Yorba Linda, CA

“In all my years of running and managing gyms, I have never met a trainer who guarantees dramatic fat loss results. At least not a trainer who actually stands behind their guarantee the way that Al does. Al is not one of those trainers who are just passing the time with a training job while he goes to school or plays in a rock band (Oh No!). Al’s whole life is training. I have watched Al take his clients by the hand and walk them to the grocery store and spend up to 3 hours with them teaching them how to shop for the right foods and how to read labels. The effort that Al puts into his clients not only takes time, it takes a passion and a deep love of your craft, and it’s what many people would call a gift. I know that I truly believe that God has given Al this gift. Not only dose Al get his clients to lose hundreds of pounds, but Al him self lost 100lbs years ago and never looked back. Al’s knowledge of Nutrition, exercise and his experience of once being over weight himself gives Al an edge and a understanding for his clients that most trainer don’t possess. I do not make a habit out of recommending trainers, because to be quite honest with you it’s very hard to find a trainer who is truly good at what they do. It’s my pleasure to speak highly about someone who is good at what they do. I not only would train with Al myself, I would recommend my family to him, and I have.”
