What’s more important to you than excuses?

Maybe…

  • Your relationship
  • Your health
  • The example that you’re setting for your kids
  • Your quality of life
  • How you look in photographs
  • How you feel about yourself

I can’t magically know what your personal incentive is. It’s up to you to find that, so do some digging.

What I can and will do is get you into the best shape of your life! All you need to do now is give me a call (813) 571-3700 or reply to this post to get started.

Let’s do this!

Power of a Goal

The Power of a Goal

 
Do you have a goal for each workout?
 
To get the most out of your exercise time, make each session goal-oriented.
 
Decide how many miles you’ll run, how many reps you’ll do or how much you’ll increase the intensity before your workout begins. Then achieve it.
 
Set clear goals, write them down, and keep a record of your workouts. There’s nothing quite like being able to read exactly where you want to be, where you currently are, and where you’ve come from.

Seasoned Ahi Steak

September 26, 2018 by  

Ahi tuna is high in protein and low in fat, the perfect combination for building a lean, toned body. Add a side of roasted asparagus for a delicious healthy meal.
Servings: 4

Here’s what you need:

  • 1 Tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon red chili flakes
  • 2 Tablespoons cilantro, minced
  • dash of salt and pepper
  • 4 (6oz) ahi tuna steaks
  1. In a large re-sealable plastic bag combine the first six ingredients; mix well.
  2. Add tuna to the marinade, cover and refrigerate for 1-1/2 hours, turning once. Drain and discard marinade. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
  3. Place the tuna in a glass pan. Bake for 10 minutes. Turn the steaks and bake for another 10 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork.

Nutritional Analysis: One serving equals: 247 calories, 5g fat, .6g carbohydrate, .2g fiber, and 50g protein.

Getting Back On Track

September 5, 2018 by  

So you took a break from your fitness routine this summer. You ate, you drank, you relaxed, and ate some more.

Well, now it’s time to face the music.

As you look in the mirror after a summer of less-than-healthy eating… Your body is puffy and bloated. Your joints are achy. Your clothes feel tight.

Maybe you are feeling that way right now.

Here’s how to get you back on the fitness fast track.

1) Find Your Focus

Summer happened. You ate things from the “never eat these” list, you drank more that you should have…but now it’s over.

Draw a line in the sand. You’re back now so the bad eating stops now.

If you’re serious about your fitness goals, then the past few weeks were the exception, and not the rule. Don’t beat yourself up for letting loose. Simply get back up, dust yourself off and get focused.

2) Get Hydrated

While summer days can take on many forms, the end result is most often dehydration and water retention. The only way to restore your balance is to get hydrated.

Your first priority in getting back on track is to drink plenty of water throughout the day. Start with a tall glass of water in the morning, and carry a water bottle with you to sip throughout the day.

Don’t add any artificial sweeteners or stimulants to your water – these will sabotage your hydration efforts. For flavor, add sliced fresh fruit, herbs or vegetables to your water, just like at the spa.

3) Cleanse Your System

For your first few days getting back on track I need you to be extra picky about what you eat. Stick with only whole, real foods like fruits, vegetables and lean meats. Whole, real foods will help to restore balance and block out cravings.

Don’t eat any packaged foods for the next few days. This means no snack foods, processed meat slices, dairy, baked goods or alcohol.

Try the recipe for Creole Chicken and Green Beans below – this is a wonderful, whole food dish.

4) Get Some Rest

As relaxing as summer days are, most end with the feeling of exhaustion. Make catching up on sleep a priority over the next few days.

When your body is low on sleep, it becomes easier to make poor eating choices. You’re also less likely to get back into your workouts if you don’t give your body a chance to rest.

Aim for getting a full 8 hours of sleep each night.

5) Jump Back Into Your Exercise Routine

It’s time to sweat out all those indulgences. So lace up your shoes and put on your favorite gym clothes. When you start your first workout, ease in slowly. Take the time to warm up and stretch your muscles before powering up to a solid 30-minute routine.

I have just the exercise plan for you – one that will not only help you recover from your summer but will help keep you motivated and going strong in the future.

If you haven’t joined yet, now is the perfect time for you to start. Together we will get you to your goals with my results-driven method.

Oh the dreaded plateau…

Oh the dreaded plateau…
 
You’ve been working hard on your fitness game and it paid off. The pounds started to drop! And then one day your results stopped. You keep putting in the same effort without any sign of improvement. 
 
You’ve hit a frustrating plateau. 
 
Or have you? Before you blame a fitness plateau for your lack of results let’s critically consider the following:
 
1. Your Diet: It’s human nature to begin to slip on your nutrition after a few weeks of stringent diligence. A small treat here, and a bite of something there, and before you know it you’ve fallen back into old eating habits.
 
If your results have stopped then take the next few weeks to track your nutrition and hold yourself accountable for every bite. 
 
2. Your Workouts: If your nutrition has truly stayed on point then your workouts could be the problem. Are you slacking on the final few reps? Have you reduced your overall intensity in the gym?
 
Did you skip a few sessions last week? Before you blame a plateau for your reduced results take a really hard look at your effort in the gym.
 
Rededicate yourself to pushing as hard as you can. 
 
3. Your Sleep: This is a tough one for so many people, but you simply must be getting adequate sleep in order to lose fat and develop muscle. Your body needs close to eight hours of sleep each night in order to recover from your workouts and to maintain balanced hormone levels.
 
Getting to bed on time is vitally important to your fitness results. 
 
If you have tackled the three steps above and still don’t see the number on your scale moving in the right direction, then move on to these next plateau-busting steps…
 
4. Track Your Efforts: It’s time to get meticulous with tracking your fitness efforts, from exactly what your workouts consist of, to exactly what and when you eat in order to constantly improve.
 
Make it your goal to outdo yourself every day.
 
If you’re constantly performing better today than you were yesterday, then your plateau will quickly become a distant memory. 
 
5. Track Your Results: Simply checking your weight on the scale is not a thorough enough measurement for your progress. Start tracking additional metrics for change. Take your measurements.
 
Have your bodyfat tested. You can always call us and we will take them for FREE.
 
Take pictures of yourself weekly. It’s important to be fully aware of how your body is changing as a whole unit, not just the number on the scale. You may be surprised to find that your body fat has been dropping while your weight has stayed the same. 
 
See me for additional strategies on breaking through your fitness plateau.
 
Together we will get you on a program that will melt fat and expose shape and definition.

Together we will get you into your best shape yet!
