Transform from “Before” to “After”

Have you ever seen a really impressive “before” and “after” photo on a weight loss product?

Well, there’s something that the diet industry doesn’t want you to know. There is more involved than just the diet product, and it’s the same across the board.

Look into the eyes of any person in their “before” picture and you’ll see that they are deeply disturbed. The body they have is no longer in sync with the body they are able to accept.

They changed the body that they accept, and became disturbed.

Now look into their eyes in the “after” picture – see the sweet satisfaction? They now live in the body that they decided they could accept. What an amazing feeling that is.

Why are you still living life in your “before” body?

Sure, you have obstacles that get in your way – your schedule, your job, your kids, the weather, your knee injury from college…but ultimately you have the body that you accept.

I’m going to repeat that so it will really sink in.

You have the body that you accept.

Transform from “Before” to “After”

You may not realize it, but you already posses everything you need to transform your body, and it all starts with taking responsibility for the body that you have today.

You are in your current shape because, until this moment, you’ve been OK with it.

Oh I know you aren’t thrilled with it, and you even talk about losing weight and getting fit-but you haven’t changed what you’ll accept.

Here’s how to transform your body in 3 steps:

Step One: Feel Disturbed

It has been said that emotion creates motion. This is essential when it comes to personal transformation. Just like those folks in the “before” pictures, to transform your body you must first decide that you can’t live another day in the body you currently have.

Get your emotions stirred up. Make a list of all the reasons that you’re ready to lose weight and get fit. Get disturbed.

Step Two: Decide What You Want

Without clarity you’ll never get where you want to go. Now that you’re disturbed with the body you have, decide what the body you can accept looks like.

Think in concrete and specific terms. Just like the captions under ‘before” and “after” pictures-“Jake lost 55 lbs,”

Get a clear picture in your mind of what you’ll look like in your “after” picture and decide what the caption will read.

Step Three: Take Action

The time spent between your inspiration (now) and taking action determines whether you will succeed or fail. Don’t allow yourself to get stuck between inspiration and action-there is always something that you can do immediately.

Take action by emailing Rob@RobZFitness.com or calling me at (813) 571-3700 now to set up a FREE Fitness Consultation.

I am here to take you from your “before” picture to your “after” picture.

What will your “after” caption read?

Is Staying in Shape Important?

Flab Life vs Fit Life?

There’s a perfectly sane explanation as to why most people say they want to be fit, and yet only a very small percentage actually are fit. Most of us, instead, are firmly cemented in the Flab Life rather than the Fit Life.

Want to know just how hard it is to lose the flab due to full immersion into the Fit Life? Here’s a glimpse into the Habits of Being Fit:

Fit Habit #1: Exercise Daily
The truly fit among us choose to hit the gym instead of getting extra sleep, watching TV or doing whatever else it is that you’d rather be doing. Exercise is a daily habit that simply becomes a way of life, rather than a task that’s begrudgingly undertaken on occasion. Those who adhere to the Fit Life incorporate challenging exercise into their lives so often that – gasp – they begin to enjoy and look forward to it!

Best Chance at Getting Fit

Talk to 10 people and you’ll get 10 different opinions on the best way to get fit.

 One will tell you to attend an aerobics class. Another will swear by jogging. Yet another will tell you that dance and biking worked for them.

 The truth is that there’s really only one effective way to get fit. 

Before I get into the details, it’s important that we agree on the definition of ‘fit’. Too often thin is mistaken for fit, and that’s not what you should strive for.

When someone is thin, but has very little muscle tissue, they aren’t truly fit.

Here’s why thin doesn’t equal fit:

• Their body fat percentage will be higher than ideal—even though you won’t see a lot of fat on them, if their muscle percentage is low then fat percentage will be higher
• Their resting metabolism will be low, since little muscle is present to burn calories at rest.
• Their body won’t be functionally strong, which will lead to injuries and frustrations.

So how does one get truly fit? It’s this simple: Strength Training.

Strength training is when resistance is used to challenge your muscles in order to gain strength and endurance. You could do this with traditional weights, exercise bands, medicine balls, cable machines, sandbags, kettle bells or even just using your own body weight. Regular strength training has the following side effects…

• Strength and muscle tone
• Cardiovascular capacity
• Speed, Agility and Flexibility
• Resistance to injury and disease

If that’s not enough to convince you that strength training is the only way to truly become fit, then read on…

Top 9 Reasons To Strength Train

1. To Build Muscle and Gain Strength: Don’t worry, ladies. This does NOT mean that you’re going to ‘bulk up’ or look too masculine.
What will happen is that your arms, tummy and legs will become tighter, leaner and more defined.

2. To Lose Fat: When it comes to losing size, all that you want to see go is fat, not muscle. Strength training ensures that you maintain and grow those muscles and only lose fat.

3. To Build Strong Bones: The older we get, the more important our bone density is. A good strength training program is one of your best defenses when it comes to osteoporosis.

4. To Alleviate Anxiety, Stress and Depression: Sure there are plenty of pills out there that claim to give these benefits, but you and I both know that strength training is more wholesome and effective way. And besides, who really wants pharmaceutical side effects?

5. To Sleep Better: Here’s another pill you can stop taking once you start strength training. Study after study have proven that strength training improves sleep.

6. To Improve Chronic Back Pain: If you are one of the millions across the globe who suffer from back pain then you’ll love the benefit of lowered pain.

7. To Improve Insulin Sensitivity: Today diabetes is a huge threat. Minimize your risk by improving insulin sensitivity through regular, challenging strength training.

8. To Improve Good to Bad Cholesterol Ratio: Here is yet another pill that you could potentially stop taking while on a strength training routine. Blood pressure and heart health are of utmost concern, so why not give yourself the advantage of a strength training routine?

9. To Raise your Metabolism: This helps to reduce body fat and to keep that body fat off, even on the days that you aren’t able to exercise. Pretty awesome, right?

A solid strength training routine will tone your legs, lift your buns, strengthen your core, and will result in inches and pounds lost.

These Rumors Aren’t True

I’ve got to warn you. There are false rumors going around about strength training.

The truth is that strength training is one of the absolute best things you can do for your health and appearance.

If you’ve fallen for these 5 myths then you’re missing out on tremendous potential results.

Myth #1 Muscle Turns Into Fat

Why would anyone want to build muscle if it could morph into fat after a span of disuse? Rest assured that this is a myth of the highest order.

Muscle tissue is muscle tissue. Fat tissue is fat tissue. One will never become the other.

Myth #2 Strength Training Doesn’t Burn Fat

On the contrary, muscle mass is your number one ally against fat gains.

A pound of muscle burns 10-20 calories each day, while you’re just living and breathing. Regular strength training helps you increase your muscle mass as well as preserve existing muscle mass, turning you into a fat burning machine.

Myth #3 Lifting Weights Makes Women Bulk Up

Yes, strength training increases the amount of muscle on your body; so many women take this to mean that their body will become body-builder-esque, which is quite the look you’re going for.

The truth is that the female body simply doesn’t contain high enough levels of testosterone to produce that level of results without a very focused and dedicated effort.

The tighter, toned figure of a recreational female weight lifter is every bit feminine.

Myth #4 Strength Training Is For Young People Only

Ha, that’s a used-up excuse that senior citizens across the globe have shattered.

Assuming that your doctor has given you the OK, you have much to gain from a regular weight lifting routine.

Improved balance and coordination, better strength and flexibility, and a decreased risk of osteoporosis are just the beginning.

Myth #5 Use Light Weight and High Reps To Tone

This myth, popularized in the 90’s, that very high repetitions of very light weights would result in a toned physique, has become outdated. These high repetitions will increase your muscular endurance but will not add strength or tone.

We now know that in order to truly challenge your muscles, heavier weights with lower repetitions are a must. Start with an 8-10 repetition range and push your muscles with each set.

Including strength training as a part of your fitness routine is essential for achieving a fit and toned body.

My custom-made fitness programs remove all of the guesswork for you. I know what works, and I make it my mission to see you reach your goals.

Hey! Who’s the Trainer Here?

“Let’s be honest…All of us at one time or another have not been in the best of shape possible. We decide we are going to do something about it, thus the quest begins to find a personal trainer. We get up early one morning, go down to the local gym, fill out some paperwork, write a check and the only thing that is different is that your checkbook is a few bucks lighter.”

“You enter the weight room, look around and there are all shapes and sizes represented. You begin to feel more comfortable with the environment, but you don’t know where to start. You stop at the information desk and ask what you need to do to find a personal trainer. The person behind the desk points to the area over there that is the weight room, but you are still lost. You ask “which person is the trainer”? THAT IS THE PROBLEM! It takes a T-shirt to separate the trainers from their clients. THEY LOOK THE SAME.”

“Back in January, I decided to do something about it. Enter Rob Zulkoski with RobZFitness not only does he TALK the TALK, but WALKS the WALK! From day one with his comprehensive fitness evaluation he has driven me to be the best that I can be. He also encouraged me that I would achieve my goals with his programs. Many people think that you have to be in shape to have a trainer and that is simply not the case. Rob took my initial consultation and constructed a fitness program based on my goals and guaranteed me success that is allowing me to achieve my “Personal Best”. “After committing to the program for the past six months, I am happy to say that I have experienced gains beyond my wildest dreams. I have lost 70 lbs. the natural way (not by using fat-burning products) including reducing my body fat by 15% and I am the strongest I have ever been. If you are truly committed to your own personal well-being and fitness, call Rob Zulkoski today in order to achieve your “Personal Best”.”

Lost 18lbs of body fat, increase 6 lbs lean weight

Most people wouldn’t look at me and think I was out of shape, but I knew different. I knew my shorts were fitting tighter than they ever had. I knew that working out a couple times a week wasn’t enough to maintain the shape I wanted. I knew the choices I was making with regards to nutrition were a misguided attempt to eat well. I knew what I was doing on my own wasn’t working.

I have four children and have always strived to be an example of fitness for them but I felt I was quickly sliding into the ‘typical’ mom shape. I wanted to be the best ‘me’ I could be for them. I decided I wanted to reshape my body in a healthy way. After many attempts to take control of my eating and workouts on my own, I finally decided it was time to go see Rob.

Working with Rob was, hands down, the best decision I could have made. I went into it committed to the program and goals Rob laid out for me. He assessed where I was and where I wanted to be and had complete confidence he could get me there. I quickly began to see results.

The pairing of the fitness program and with me eating better was very effective. There were definite changes I had to make in my eating plan but I don’t look at it as a diet but as a lifestyle change. Now that I have implemented these changes for three months I don’t plan on ever going back to my old style of eating.

The fitness aspects of the program were fantastic. The workouts Rob designed and pushed me though were much more intense than I would be able to push myself through on my own. I loved getting to feel the tangible reward of becoming stronger.

After three months I was able to reach my goals. I dropped 11% of my body fat. I am down 18 lbs of body fat. Increase 6 lbs of lean weight and have lost inches all over my body. My clothes fit comfortably if not a little lose. But most important, I feel better. I am stronger. I am healthier. I am a better example for my children. I am the best ‘me’ that I can be.

“Lost 52 pounds, Pant Size 48” to 40”

.

So where do I begin? Well, it just doesn’t dawn on you one day that you’re not in shape anymore. Over the last few years and increasingly over the last half year, I found myself considerably out of shape and overweight. Wow, never thought I’d be there, but I was. My doctor was working on me trying to regulate my thyroid, talking high blood pressure, and telling me how close I was to being diabetic. Something had to change! My retirement was heading in the wrong direction.

There I was at 266 pounds, borderline high blood pressure with a poor metabolism. I had to do something. I tried doing it on my own, but found at every ache and pain I’d stop. I was going nowhere. I needed support and a higher commitment. I’d never worked with a trainer before but decided to check on it.

When I first met Rob at RobZFitness in September I discussed about getting into shape and losing weight. Rob asked me what my goal was. Well, I asked if I could lose 30 pounds by Christmas. He said it was “attainable but everybody was different.” Rob sounded believable and very supportive so I went for it.

After 3+ months I have lost 52 pounds, lowered my body fat percentage 12.1% from 29.5% to 21.5%, lost 8” around my chest and went from a pant size 48” to 40”. Clearly I’m moving in the right direction.

Following RobZ advice on both exercising and his supportive eating plan it has really worked for me. Sure, it takes commitment on our part, but his plan has flat out worked for me! But even more important, my blood pressure is way down (138/80 to 118/65), my thyroid meds are less than 1/2 of what they were and my doctor is no longer worried about a lot of my ailments! My energy level is high and I don’t tire out now.

Oh, my goals have changed too. I decided to stay with Rob and get really lean. Sure it’s a few more months of work, but I always wanted abs and at age 67 why not now!

Chicken Wrapped Asparagus w/Goat Cheese

This is a great meal for cutting calories and dropping weight. Watch your portion size in order to stay within your daily calorie goal. Chicken is packed with plenty of protein – just what you need for building your muscles.  Servings: 4-6

Here’s what you need:

• 3-4 chicken cutlets (or regular chicken breasts, sliced horizontally)
• goat cheese (about 2 ounces per wrap)
• 1/2 pound asparagus
• 1-2 eggs
• panko (mixed with your favorite seasonings) – for your friends 🙂
• toothpicks

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. The first thing we’re going to do is rinse the chicken and pat it dry. Place the chicken in a Ziploc bag, then pound it with the smooth side of a mallet. You will want to pound them to approximately 1/4-1/2″ thick.
2. Lay the chicken down on a cutting board, and place a 1-2″ piece of goat cheese and 4-5 pieces of asparagus on the center of each cutlet. I know that working with raw chicken is not very fun – but I promise, we are almost done. Wrap the chicken around the goat cheese and asparagus, and secure with 1-2 toothpicks.
3. For your friends 🙂 Prepare egg wash (1-2 eggs + a tablespoon or two of water) in one dish. In a separate dish, add the panko and your seasonings of choice.
4. Once the cutlet is seasoned and dredged in the panko mixture, place on a foiled lined baking sheeting while you repeat with the rest of the chicken cutlets. Dredge each cutlet in the egg wash followed by the panko mixture.
5. Now bake for about 30 minutes – just long enough for the cheese to melt and for the panko breading to turn a delicious golden brown.

Morning Workouts

Big Advantage To Waking Up Early And Working Out

When the sun begins peaking over the horizon, you shouldn’t be burying your head underneath a pillow, praying it will get dark and turn into night again. Instead, you should take advantage of the early hours to get in an hour of exercise. Why? Because the benefits far outweigh your desire to sleep in a bit.

Benefit #1: You’ll Lose Weight
Exercising during any time of the day is proven to help you obtain and maintain a healthy weight. However, recent research hints that exercising in the morning gives your weight-loss goal an extra push. How’s it do this? By improving your life a few ways all at once.

The first change is that working out during the first few hours of the day helps you sleep better, whereas working out in the evening can actually make it more difficult to sleep at night. Since healthy sleep habits assist your weight-loss goals, it only makes sense to want better sleep. Working out in the morning also helps your metabolism to get high early on in the day and stay there throughout your day. In addition, exercising early puts you in a healthy mindset from the moment you wake up, helping you make better decisions later in the day.

Benefit #2: You’ll Stick with It
Another reason morning workouts benefit you is the ease with which you can stick with them. Whereas it can be difficult to find time during your busy day to squeeze in exercise, making exercise the first thing you do during the day ensures you get in some calorie-burning time no matter what the rest of the day may bring.

Think you may not have the strength to stick with an early morning exercise regimen? Remember that in addition to sleeping better, early exercising gives you increased energy and gets the blood pumping throughout your body. This helps you fire on all cylinders, whether you have a big meeting coming up or have to pull a double shift at the warehouse.

Benefit #3: You’ll Get a Raise
As if an energy boost in the morning and increased metabolism weren’t reason enough for working out in the morning, this early-morning fix-all may be just what your career needs. If you’re skeptical, think about your attitude at work. Have you been down in the dumps? Too tired to go the extra mile?

Working out first thing in the morning may give you the boost you need to get past these issues. Once your boss recognizes your improved can-do attitude, your sudden willingness to go above and beyond the call of duty, and the infectious smile you carry everywhere you go, you may find yourself on the fast track to promotion. And to think-all of this just because you woke up a few minutes early for some running, weight lifting, bike riding, swimming, or calisthenics!

________________________________________________________________

Creative Morning Routines
Getting your exercise every day is no easy task. Getting it in before the rest of your family is awake can be even more difficult-especially if you’ve not a morning person.

To make sure you get your fill of morning exercises, keep these tips in mind.

• Leave the car at home. Once you’ve eaten a healthy breakfast, hop on your bicycle or grab your running shoes and get to work the old-fashioned way by your own power. Just be sure to keep an extra change of clothes on hand so you don’t have to wear your sweaty outfit all day.

• Do something fun. Everyone has different interests. To make sure you get up every morning and get in some exercise, make your routine fun. Whether you prefer kayaking, bike riding, or push-ups, implement this into your early morning routine and you’ll have fun as you improve your health.

• Become specialized and start teaching. Wish there was a spinning class at 6 a.m. at your gym? Find some likeminded folks and work to become a teacher of the class. As a teacher, missing class isn’t possible, so you’ll be sure to get your routine in first thing in the morning, even when you’d rather stay in bed.

Andrew Hooker

Lost 61 Pounds, 19.5% Body Fat

Things were getting way out of hand. While never being consistently athletic, I treated nearly every day like a Thanksgiving binge. I’d start my mornings either with nothing to eat or feasting on whatever pastry laden goody I could find or drive 10 miles out of my way to work to buy donuts, for the office, of course. Then I’d sloth my way to lunch at whichever fast food place I craved, never avoiding the large sizes and/or multiple entrees. By the mid afternoon crash it was time for coffee and more sweets for a pick me up. Dinner time was either more fast food or a hearty home made hefty portion of whatever calorie loaded feast I’d create. Being tired and having no energy, by late evening it was time for one more junk food emotional boost, usually ice cream or popcorn and soda.

Any wonder I weighed 267 lbs at 5’9″ in my 30s? Any wonder I hated to even look in the mirror? Any wonder I was shopping for clothes in “that section.” I also managed to develop obstructive sleep apnea and borderline to just over border line high blood pressure while having heart disease in my family history. I didn’t even care if I lived or died, as long as I could eat what I wanted and be as lethargic as I felt. Crazy thing is none of that slowed my bad lifestyle down much. Hope for a better life was gone.

I had heard about Rob from a good friend several years ago, but kept putting it off out of fear and shame that I needed help. The breaking point? Getting sick of watching my three sons playing with their grandparents outside without me and the day I absolutely couldn’t take my wedding ring off. I was looking over Rob’s website yet again, When my wife, Yana, saw me, we decided to take the plunge and see Rob. We both did fitness assessments and pretty much were as low as you could go and still have a pulse. We started training with Rob, Taylor, and Sam the next week and began eating better.

I don’t even remember how much we started loosing right away, but were excited by the change as hope began to displace despair. Within about two or three months, I permanently retired “those jeans” and was back to ones I could wear over a year ago, but not long after that, I had buy another size lower and just a few weeks ago I was back into the 30s! People at work were noticing, saying my clothes were too baggy, though griping about the absence of confections and that I was not as much fun to go to lunch with anymore. I also stopped having those afternoon crashes. Next month I see my sleep doctor and I hope to be able to pack up my CPAP for good, as my numbers 4 months ago were already improving. My blood pressure is down to perfectly normal. In July, I was using the stairs to race my kids using the elevator and winning! I’m developing a confidence I don’t think I’ve ever had. Today I just did a walk/run for six miles, without stopping. To date I have lost 61 pounds of body fat, 19.5% body fat change, increased 2 lbs of lean weight, and have improved my overall health rating for my age from 2% – 73%.

Was it easy? No, but it is doable with commitment to follow the plan and to be willing to give it all you have. The team wants to help you achieve if not exceed your fitness goals and will push you hard, but are supportive at the same time. I still want to loose more extra pounds and for the first time develop some muscle tone. I am grateful to God, Rob Z, his team, my wife, and my mother. I feel like I am well on my to getting back a life I never had and becoming the man I want to be.

Rene Trasorras

“Lost 22 lbs and 8.5% Body Fat”

My name is Dr. Rene J Trasorras, I am 54 years old. I have played organized sports since I was 6 years old. First baseball, then wrestling, power lifting, and for the past 25 years Judo. Up until I was 38 I was a gym rat. I decided to return to grad school and continued my studies until I had earned both a Masters and finally a Doctorate. During this time I was running my own business and raising two daughters. My conditioning began to take a back seat until I finally grew tired of the excess body fat I was carrying. My physique had stopped looking athletic long ago.

After seeing photos of myself over the past Christmas holidays I realized I had to do something. I reached out to Rob who I have known for 20 years and requested his help. On January 5th of this year I started working out at RobZFitness and followed RobZ supportive eating plan. I weighed 212 at 5’8” tall. I can tell you by following RobZ instruction and supportive eating plan I have shed 22lbs of body fat, increased 5 lbs of lean mass, dropped 8.5% body fat and bettered my overall health for my age from 9% to 55% as of March 26, 2015.

Rob taught me the secrets of proper nutrition and the power of training correctly and consistency to get back into shape. Thanks Rob, and if anyone wants a better life, call RobZFitness at 813-571-3700.

Turkey Meatballs

Olive-Stuffed Turkey Meatballs

Lean, ground turkey paired with Italian seasoning and tender olives, make these meatballs something special. The key to keeping this savory meal healthy is to pair it with a side of vegetables, rather than starchy pasta.

• 30 pitted olives
• 1 teaspoon olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic, finely minced

1. Take one tablespoon of ground turkey at a time; flatten it in your hand and form around an olive to create a ball. Repeat with all of the turkey and olives.
2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet. Add the garlic and spread around the pan. Add the meatballs.
3. Turn the meatballs every 3 minutes for 20 minutes of cooking. Remove once all sides are browned and the meatballs are cooked through.

“Lost 44 Pounds, 38 to 32 Pant Size”

My name is Paul Michael owner of Michael Real Estate, Inc., I found it difficult at times to deal with my weight gain and continuing with the level of energy I needed to complete my personal and business goals.

At 43 years of age, 5’9” and 209 lbs, I woke up.  I was tired of the chest and back pains, lack of energy, high cholesterol, high blood pressure and so on.  I decided I was going to change my life, and I did, with the help of Rob from RobZFitness.  It took one phone call and some straight talk from Rob to get me moving.

I found out my body fat was at 32.9% which is at 4% of men my age.  For a very driven individual, this was not only a wakeup call, it was unacceptable!

So then the work began… Rob educated me on nutrition and started training me on a rigorous training routine and homework to do for my days without him.  I couldn’t believe it!  It started to work and within my first 30 days I had lost right at 20 pounds.  Today, about 5 months later, I am 44 years old and in the best physical shape of my life!  I am very strong, energetic, no more back or chest pains and my blood pressure has dropped from about 150/90 to an average of 110/75, I can’t wait to check my cholesterol.  I went from a 36 pant size (and they were tight) down to a 32 pant size and I see a 30 around the corner.  My shirt size has gone from an extra large to a small/medium.  Best of all, I have lost 44 pounds, my weight is now at 165 lbs and my body fat is at 16.3% which now puts me in better shape than 90% of men my age.

If you really want to get your life back, get in shape and aren’t afraid to sweat – call Rob at RobZFitness!  Thanks to Rob and his superb staff of trainers, my life has come full circle.  I am eternally grateful for Rob’s friendship and expertise.
