How to transform your entire life though exercise

As I strolled down the foggy Tacoma waterfront with Jim, a long-time personal training client of mine, we began to chat about how important exercise has been to him and how much exercise has transformed his entire life - not just his body and his health, but also his career, relationships, self esteem, attitude and everything else. You see, before coming to me for help, Jim was 60 pounds over weight, he had dangerously high cholesterol and was having breathing problems that were seriously affecting his quality of life. Jim recalled to me how he used to sit at his desk at work all morning long, unfocused and unproductive, dreaming of nothing but lunch break, and then all afternoon, thinking of nothing but the 5:00 bell and then a big dinner! He did his job well, but not up to his own standards. He knew he could do better. He knew he could do better physically too. When we began slowly with a simple walking program, Jim blossomed quickly. His enthusiasm skyrocketed and he ...

It’s Possible!! Parents With Young Kids Actually Can Get SUPER Fit!

If you're a stay-at-home mom or dad (or even a working 'primary caregiver parent') with small children you might believe it's impossible to get really fit (and may I dare suggest 'ripped'?) with the daily challenges and time constraints that you face while caring for your youngsters. However, there are several ways to get a great workout in within the day if you know just how to 'play' it. Yes, New Parents! 'PLAY' is the operative word here. Kids love to play, right?

How To Make Money From Passions

To make money online many people jump right in before they are properly prepared. You know that to be a rocket scientist, a doctor, a brick layer, a construction worker, an office worker, a teacher there are prerequisites, things you must learn, before you can be successful, you don't just jump right in unprepared. The same applies to the Internet marketing industry even though there are unsavory people out there who'd have you believe it's a "Walk in the Park" and requires no more than the belief that you can just do it.

Never Get Bored With Interval Training

Interval training is a great way to up the ante on your cardio routines. But what happens when even your interval training is getting stale? Is that even possible? Intervals can be quite intense anyway, but sure, it's definitely possible to get bored even of very intense "HIIT" (which stands for "high intensity interval training"). So, how do you crank up your intervals? Or at least get some interval training in that doesn't feel like the 'same old, same old'? Intervals don't have to be limited to just running but if running is your sport of choice, you can incorporate different kinds of intervals into your training. Try finding a big hill and doing hillsprints, or finding a sandy beach and doing your sprint training in the unstable sand or better yet, hop into the ocean knee deep and add even more resistance by adding water and waves. Or you can find a big field and sprint to one end and do a slow jog back to the other side (and re...

How Often Should I Workout?

People often email me asking how many days per week should they workout. For the average person wanting to lose weight and focus on fat loss, the answer is simple. They will get fantastic results by training hard only three days per week. Now for the average person, that should be manageable. And yes, all three of those workouts should be done in less than an hour. Research shows that 20-30 minutes of interval training is more effective than 40 minutes of slow cardio for weight loss. Combine the intervals with 20-30 minutes of strength training. Do that 3 days per week, and pow, you'll lose fat fast. (With good nutrition too, of course!) On off days, I encourage people to be as active as possible, but without making extra effort to go to the gym. Walking to do your errands for an hour is great, if you have the time. Just do some form of health-promoting exercise (which can mean a half hour walk, yoga, or aerobic training if you desire). The duration and intensity of t...
