I Love My Ass!
Okay, so maybe you’re not screaming from the rooftops that you love your ass.
And understandably so.
Not many things are worse than being approached by pimps, johns, construction workers, police and other people all interested in what you have to scream.
But keep it in mind, if you’re HOOKED on the 100 calorie or worse yet Glory-Of-The-80’s fat-snack-attacks, you most likely LOVE YOUR ASS.
Here’s a couple reasons why,
1) Did you know that rice cakes, pretzels, potato chips, corn chips and the like are all INFLAMMATORY foods?
Meaning, they actually promote irritation within the body thus yielding potential bloating, disruption to digestion, and promote weight gain.
How’s your peanut butter on rice cake now? Don’t forget to weigh in this week for $10 so we can tell you to buy more of our products 🙂
2) All processed flours, even enriched wheat flour (which is actually white flour in disguise), along with any fast food, cornstarch, sweeteners, margarine, shortening, corn syrups, high fructose corn syrup, hydrogenated oils, regular ground beef and more are all Inflammatory foods as well.
Basically, if you eat anything in the middle of the grocery store, you’re screwed and your ass will most likely swell.
However, there’s an alternative, ding, light bulb!
You can eat foods on the outside of the grocery store, or better known as the perimeter that are anti-inflammatory. Fresh fish, grass fed beef (you’ll need a speciality shop for this most likely – not even the whole foods in my area has grass fed beef), fresh fruits, fresh vegetables, cage free chicken, cage free eggs from those chickens and more all lead to smaller butt.
Throw in some exercise and my god!
You may have a tighter, smaller bum in no time.
This has been another Public Service Announcement from Robert Belley Fitness, Marshfield’s most trusted fat loss fitness expert.
Combination Lift – Dumbbell Squat to Romanian Deadlift
One of my Favorite Combination Lifts!
Combo’s are great for saving time in the gym or at the club, and definitely kick your butt!
You can use the dumbbell squat to dumbbell romanian deadlift for either a fat loss or muscle gain protocol. Your choice 😉
If I were looking for some intense new muscular recruitment, go heavy and leave nothing behind.
If you want some fat loss on nyour plate, try sticking with this exercise movement for greater than 45 seconds. You might be able to crank out 5-6 reps to the left and then 5-6 back to the right.
enjoy.
and sorry about the audio… the studio has TALL ceilings.LOL

My fantastic weekend in Stamford Connecticut with Elite Fitness Pros
I’m here at the Ryan Lee Boot Camp in Stamford Connecticut. It’s been great catching up with all of my colleagues who I rarely get to see as we are spread out across the country.
One of my favorites is Dax Moy. Man this guy has great energy and hilarious stories. Plus today is his 38th birthday. Brother rocks!
A couple other are Steven Cabral and Eric Cressey. Two other fantastic fitness professionals, who actually live in Massachusetts…although it’s still nice to hang and enjoy casual conversations 😉
Brian Grasso always rocks! I’m actually flying to Chicago in April to check him in out in some athletic action. Plus hang with some of my Chicago/Schaumburg friends.
Ryan Lee is always a tremendous host and outdoes himself each event. This guy totally outs his passion into this industry. He even cried on stage this year. Very emotional moment.
Been hanging with my good friend Victor Hurtuk the whole weekend too. He and his family are beautiful people. I usually stay with them the first night driving down through Connecticut. Always a blast with this guy!
Tomorrow I have some IYCA seminar to devour and revel within. Pumped!
Plus a dip in the pool in the AM.
Celebrity trainer to Jennifer Garner, Cindy Crawford and countless other celebs Valerie Waters is here too. She’s always beautiful.
Ran into a local Pembroke trainer too. Dave. Great guy. We may be coming up with some cool fitness plans for the town of Pembroke. Can’t wait to brainstorm with him.
Well I’m just in between sessions and the last of the day is about to start.
Take care, and me taking the time to stay advanced and elite in this field only helps the rest of us as a big training family 😉

Actual Client email…this truly moved me
Hey Rob – hope last night was a good work out, the rain held off just long enough for you!!! I have to share this story with you cause I know how much you love kids….
Kathryn said to me “mom, I know how much you like boot camp sorry you couldn’t go cause of me” she is so cute, I told her it was no big deal and that it was so much fun to watch her play softball… she sat there for a minute and said “don’t worry I am going to boot camp you when we get home” so I laughed and said thanks….
sure enough she went around and collected things and set them up…. we did planks, pushups, she put flip flops at either end of the hall way and had me run to pick them up/run to the other end put them down etc… (my best time was 11 seconds!)… “no cherry pickers tonight” she told me…. hahahaha
anyway… my cute kid story for the day…. you might have a future employee!!
Have a great long weekend, hope you have at least one of the days 100% off. We are running trucks Sat, Sun and Monday but I am closing the office all 3 days. nearly unheard of around here. yaay!
She also told me that she was going to “teach Rob how to do the run outs” which is what she called the thing where I had to run and get the flip flops.
-K.M.
The above email may not seem like much to you, I understand, but I’m not lying when I tell you I literally cried after I responded to this email. I’m a 29 year old man and I can admit that. This is EXACTLY why I know I am in the right passion of profession.
I’ve been in this industry for 15 years, more than half of my life. I’ve been published hundreds of times in the media. Been featured dozens of times in newspapers, radio interviews, local and national magazines. Named one of America’s Greatest Trainers. Won best weight loss/fitness service in the Reader Choice Awards. Was first World Certified by the International Youth Conditioning Association for improving the lives of millions of children. Helped hundreds of people in person and hundreds of thousands online and in print to get in great shape and literally help improve their lives. From children to men & women in their 80’s. From super athletes to cancer survivors/MS patients/diabetics getting off insulin and children with autism or severe low-self-esteem. I’ve been thankfully involved with fantastic charities and have the ability to donate near monthly to others and client events.
But no matter what I’ve accomplished, am accomplishing and will accomplish this is the GREATEST, UNDOUBTLY the MOST AMAZING experience of my passion for fitness, health and improvement.
This means a child “GOT IT”!
I would trade in every accomplishment and remain unrecognized if I knew this would grow as the anatomy of a tidal wave and carry the state of our youth to this behavior.
There is no greater reward in this life than impacting the world of a child. Knowing you’ve done something, albeit small, but important, to directly guide or steer a developing mind towards a proactive and healthy lifestyle choice.
I can not thank K.M. enough for sending me this email.
This totally made MY WORLD.
On a weekend I’m celebrating the 2nd year birthday of my gorgeous god daughter Nina, celebrating the 29th birthday of one of my best friends and the man who I was given the honor to wed he and his wife to one another – wrote the entire ceremony & performed it – plus co-founded our Non-Profit organization Foundation Forward THIS IS the highlight.
This is my one of my most cherished indirect compliments ever.
I’ve already printed it and placed it on my vision board. Few things make that list. Very – very – very few. It’s not a very big board 😉
But I wanted to share this with all of you who have helped me learn and hopefully I’ve helped teach a few things too as well.
Whether you’re a best friend receiving this letter, an amazing client/friend, a partner in business, a member of my family, the love of my life, or simply a person who has only once taken one of my Camps or I’ve met along the way…I forget no one.
Thank you for all adding a little piece of enjoyment, fulfillment, challenge, trust, passion, laughter and excitement to help me become the man I am today.
Thank you…and I can not thank you K.M. enough again.
Your friend,
Rob
An Inspiring Father and Son Relationship
I wish I could claim ownership for all motivational tips I present, but often times, I simply redirect or re-present quality information. But that is true of every industry and every profession.
With that said, I received this post in a newsletter I belong to from my fitness buddy Dax Moy.
He’s an amazing individual, not just a fitness professional. He too is excellent at distributing quality info to people who otherwise may have never seen, read or heard inspirational and motivational items and moments.
This particular email struck a chord with me as I’m sure it will do so with you.
It’s the inspiring recap of Dick Hoyt and his son Rick and their spectacular strive to overcome the greatest of illness and stand atop the pinnacle of human effort!
What they accomplish with their limitations should show you that YOU CAN ACHIEVE ANYTHING YOU SEE FIT or POSSIBLE.
Seriously.
Do yourself a favor and watch the clip below.
Till next time,

If you haven’t seen this yet it follows in the vein of ‘The Secret’ as an inspirational and motivational movie.
It truly is amazing how much more can be achieved with the slightest added effort.
Give it a watch.
Then hit the gym or break for the street to begin your daily fitness training.
Today, I have a date with training at the Pembroke facility.
I can’t wait!
