Focus, Focus, Focus Marshfield… For Fat Loss, Muscle…
Let me ask you a question,
If you decide to both burn lots of fat and build lots of muscle do you think it’s possible simultaneously?
Well sort of,
If you’re a beginner, your neurological and “new” stimulus will definitely elicit an amazing change in your body.
If you’re a genetic Adonis or Aphrodite yes your body will simply respond to both with very little dedication… from my experience about less than 1% of the population have this gift.
If you’re on anabolic-androgenic steroids then yes you will also have this chance, but you’ll also set yourself up for an emotional tornado of self-destructive self-esteem over time as well as be participating in something very illegal with the law.
So what do we need to do?
We need to focus.
Simply F O C U S.
If you’re involved in activity A, but also thinking about activity B, Activity C, D, E and so forth will “A” get your full attention and provide you the best result?
Of course not.
If you’re in a training session and thinking about the laundry, the kids, the ocean, your sister’s meatloaf recipe, the trash at home getting out then you are not getting the best result you need and desire from your workout. Your training sessions must be ONLY your training session. That’s the best result.
If you were working in a deli, using the slicer and while shaving down some cheese slices began to let your thoughts run towards others non-slicing related task in that moment what do you think may happen?
You’ll lose a finger or seriously hurt yourself.
It’s all about focus.
Staying in the moment.
Nothing else matters.
You need to only worry about the task that you CAN control.
You can’t control the trash during your workout.
You can’t control the laundry during your workout.
You can’t control the ocean during your workout.
You can’t control dinner during your workout.
You can’t control ANYTHING but your workout during your workout.
So STAY IN THE MOMENT.
Began adding this technique and I PROMISE you will find much better, and faster results within weeks if not days!
At my Marshfield fitness studio it’s all about staying in the movement.
Whether it’s our Marshfield boot camps, Marshfield yoga sessions, Marshfield personal training or Marshfield massage. It’s about staying in the moment and only focusing on what is at hand…
YOUR RESULTS.

Hydroxycut Kills
It should be a no-brainer.
It shouldn’t have to come to this.
But for some reason people still chase potions.
One of the all-time leading fat-loss burning pill scams, Hyrdoxycut, was recalled off the shelves today by the FDA.
Read the full Hydroxycut kills article here:
http://www.cnn.com/2009/HEALTH/05/01/hydroxycut.fda.recall/
I’ll say this now as I always have…
FAT LOSS PILLS DO NOT WORK
FAT LOSS PILLS DO NOT WORK
FAT LOSS PILLS DO NOT WORK
I won’t lie to you about it.
They are all a scam.
The only thing that will provide you with fat-loss is eating properly and exercising intelligently.
You don’t need a pill for that.
So seriously, stop wasting your money on FALSE-HOPES.
If you want your dream body, you’re gonna have to work for it.
It’s not easy.
It’s not a smooth road.
But you’ll get there.
So long as you stay consistent you will get there.
I promise.

Is Seltzer Water Appropriate for Marshfield Fitness Studio Fat Loss Client?
So one of my clients asked me last week,
“Can I drink seltzer water while eating for fat loss?”
Great question. It’s not like cola, with the high fructose corn syrup, caramel coloring and caffeine.
However, it still has carbon monoixde added to it to make it bubbly.
If I had to choose between water and seltzer (also known as soda water, sparkling water, carbonated water, fizzy water) I would have to say ix-nay on the carbonation.
Carbonation leads to bloat and gas anyway… two things that will lead you to believe that your tummy isn’t as flat as really is… plus it only reinforces the opportunity for a horrible fat loss beverage choice.
However, if my Marshfield fitness studio clients were trying to just have a drink during maintenance programs then yeah, I see no significant problem with it.
But if it’s fat loss Marshfield, Pembroke and Duxbury fitness residents are after, then totally 86 the carbonated anything for the brief duration ensuring fat loss success.

The Advanced Performance Presidential Champions Program
So last year I decided to sign up for the President’s Challenge at presidentschallenge.org.
Pretty stoked bout this.
I know why does a fitness professional get all excited about signing up for a challenge that should just be a part of their every day lifestyle? Well its fun to record and track your fitness. It’s really quite a motivating tool.
It holds me accountable to my own training, just as I do for my boot campers, private and online training clients. Much like you may be held accountable to a running partner or coach.
I was so amped when I started that I decided to up the ante and go for the Advanced Performance program. I love a challenge and love competing against myself. If I fall off the wagon for a couple of days I have this screen staring me in the face letting me know it!
Not too mention my gut. Haha
Basically it states that I have to do double to earn each reward period. So to get my bronze certificate I had to earn 40,000 points. Gold is 160,000!
As of late September I hit my goal of Gold within one year! I’m currently at 208,913 points!
To give you a frame of reference, if you run an 8 minute-mile-pace for 60 minutes its 754 points.
That’s a lot of effort to get to 160,000! Basically running 1,600 miles or 31 miles a week. I know there are millions of people who produce this amount of work in a week with their fitness but unfortunately there are hundred of millions who do not.
I try to lead by example. Besides, if I were fat and out-of-shape would you really believe any fitness or nutrition advice that came out of mouth? I wouldn’t.
The cool part is, once you get to 160,000 points in the Advanced Performace they encourage you to strive for Platinum! 1,000,000 points!!! Or with running alone 9,947 miles.LOL. Thank goodness I do a mix of activities but I’m guessing by the age of 35 or so I’ll hit that number. So far I’m nearly 21% there within a year.
So that’s my goal.
What kind of goal have you set for yourself?
Do you even have one right now?
Or do you JUST want to lose some weight???
The latter never works for long term success.
Trust me
Willing you the greatest success,

Can’t Go Wrong Foods!
This is going to be real simple. We all know there’s a ton of mis-information out there. It’s even more troubling wondering what you can-and-cannot eat to stay lean and sexy year round. Here’s a brief list of some of my personal favorites to stay in six-pack shape year long.
Blueberries (Fresh or Frozen – But Fresh Preferred)
Avocado (Near one a day)
Almonds (I even eat the vanilla coated ones with cane juice – either way it’s better than not having them and they are FANTASTIC for on the go in their easy pour out cannister)
Apples (Any kind as many as you want)
Cottage Cheese (I try to stick to 1%)
Pineapple
Bananna’s
These are just a few of my favorites….
And in the summer I eat them often.

Chicken Dog Food Soup for Hunchback Nation!
Kyphosis sucks through and through. Not only does the kyphotic curve (think Hunchback of Notre Dame) totally disrupt the kinetic chain but it’ll literally shave inches off your height over time. How you gonna reach that Tuesday night chicken soup and dog food dinner when you’re in your 60’s?
Neglected stretching and soft tissue work are the culprits here along with the wild array of ab gimmicks, crunches and sit-ups that plagued your teens, 20’s, 30’s and 40’s.
So here’s the deal kids, begin stretching the holy Moses out of your abs, chest, deep neck flexors, hip flexors, piriformis and quads.
Start strengthening your rhomboids, serratus, external obliques, glutes and hamstrings.
This is just a start.
Follow this daily and you’ll be putting me on your Christmas card list and inviting me to your rockband parties before you know it 😉

You Will Not Change without MOTIVATION
I’ve heard more times than you can imagine,
‘I want to lose weight’
‘I want to feel healthy’
‘I want to be happier’
That’s awesome. But why?
People who give me this answer very rarely discover their true potential or unlock their innerself.
It’s easy to want. It’s even eaiser to be vague. Who enjoys getting emotional anyway? When was the last time you cried? I know this sounds crazy but when was the last time you were so fed up with something so meanginful in your life that you literally broke down and cried?
I bet after you picked yourself back up you discovered something about yourself. Maybe you were stronger than you thought previously.
Maybe you became a better parent afterwards.
Maybe you began treating your lover better.
Maybe you started working a little harder and earned yourself a raise which resulted in the family or house you have today.
I’m not trying to be mean but you have to feel something inside of you to LITERALLY CHANGE.
I can’t do it for you. I can help you cry 😉 but I can’t stand over your shoulder checking out your move, every meal, every rep and make sure you’re adhering and living up to your responsibility with your fat loss program.
If I did I guarantee you’d find crazy success as they do in the Biggest Loser tv show. But that is not the real world. Not for 98% of us. Heck I have to watch over my own shoulder every second of the day.
You think just because I’m a fitness professional that I wouldn’t rather grab my inner circle of family and friends, a towel, some alcohol, steaks and firewood and head to the beach and hang out all day partying? I’m 29. I love the beach. I love the people in my life. I love the sun.
But that’s not the real world Peter Pan. I have to adhere just like each and every one of you. But with the added pressure that if I don’t have a six-pack, excellent strength, athletic ability and an open-mind that no matter what age I’ll just be seen as a guy who knows something about fitness. I have to be my best to stay at the level I’ve achieved and to continue accelerating in my industry and field. I’ll fight to the bone to hold onto my accomplishments. I achieved them.
Are you doing all you can to accomplish your goals?
What have you eaten today?
Was a muffin, donut, ice cream, sub, fast food salad or candy mixed in?
Be honest.
How often have you trained today?
Did you go for a walk and consider that your cardio? If you think walking fast/power walking/slow jogging is going to give you REAL fat loss I’ve got a storage bin full of Beta and VHS tapes I’d like to sell you!
And only the good stuff ‘Buns of Steel’ ‘Richard Simmons’ and every video that comes with a stupid-ass Ab product. PLEASE DO NOT BUY ANYTHING OFF THOSE INFOMERCIALS.
Save your money, do some jump squats, eat some broccoli and apples, sprint in your backyard. It may cost you your time and $1 a day but it’ll give you guaranteed results. Those people don’t lose weight doing crunches. Why is our nation so naive??
So what have you really done and where do you want to go?
You want to lose 10% bodyfat in the next 12 weeks.
That sounds precise to me. Much more attainbale than ‘I want to lose weight’.
You want to fit in a size 4 bikini by August for a wedding that you’re going away for or your vacation to Florida or Myrtle Beach?
You want to compete in a triathlon coming up in August and need to improve your swimming stamina through leg, core and external rotator strength the next 9 weeks. Sounds better than ‘I want to be healthier’.
See what I mean.
Find something that means something to you and turn that fire into YOUR MOTIVATION.
I promise, once you discover your INNER motivator/motivation, your success will skyrocket like a bazooka blasting out a missile of physical, spiritual, meditational and therapeutic wealth.
But you have to discover WHY first.
Then take action.
Simple formula.
But are you dedicated to your mission???
How bad do you truly want it?
