Here's The Ladies Fat Loss Trouble Spot Workouts I Promised

Sorry guys, it's another one for the ladies only.

By the way guys, I hope you took my advice to heart and didn't forward yesterday's email on to your wife/girlfriend...and if you did, I hope you're OK.

Anyway...

Here's those videos I promised ladies.

Both of these mini-workouts are designed to be done after your regular workout and really hit those trouble spots hard.

They work the butt, legs, arms and abs and if you do one of them after your regular workout for a month or two, you'll definitely see a difference in your muscle tone and the way your body looks in, and out or your clothes.

So check the videos out below.









To all of my American friends, have a happy and safe 4th of July holiday and don't ruin everything you've worked so hard for by indulging in nothing but hot dogs, hamburgers and beer all weekend.

If you do, make sure you throw in some extra push-ups and lunges for me.

Have a good day!

P.S. - Don't forget ladies that if you liked these mini-circuit workouts, I've got a ton of them that come with my Fat Loss To Go program. One of the bonuses is devoted entirely to women's trouble spots. Check it out at www.fatlosstogo.com/ladies.html

Push-up variations

I love push-ups. I do them in every single workout and I try to include them in as many of my clients' workouts as possible.

Plus my boot camps do A LOT of push-ups on a weekly basis.

There really is no better upper body movement than the push-up. It works virtually every muscle in your upper body including your chest, shoulders, upper back, triceps (back of your arms) and last but not least your abs/core.

That's right! Push-ups are a core exercise. If your core wasn't working, your stomach would sag like an old horse...and if your stomach sags like an old horse while doing push-ups, keep your stomach and glutes tight. It'll make the exercise much more effective.

The problem with push-ups, though is that they can get a little easy after a while and you need to change it up a little bit.

So I made a video to show you a few "intermediate" push-up variations. I want you to give these a try the next time you do push-ups.

Check the video out below.





Have a good day!

10 Minute Fat Loss Workout

I love doing 10 minute workouts.

Some people don't seem to think that a workout that only lasts 10 minutes can be worthwhile, however when done correctly they are FANTASTIC.

They are great if you don't have the time to fit in a longer workout, or if you just want to do something different.

Below is another one of my 10 minute workout videos. Check it out and give this workout a try sometime. Just make sure you make it challenging.

No weenie weights!

10 Minute Bodyweight Workout

I get a lot of questions about what to do in a 10 minute workout.

Well, below you'll see a video of one of my favorite 10 minute workouts. It's called a "Push-up & Squat Ladder" and, if done right, is an awesome workout.

Make sure your push-ups and squats are done with good form...no half-squats or half-push-ups.

This is my first ever video, and there were a few cuss words said trying to get it done (and yes I know that when I said to do 3 push-ups I only did 2).

Plus I think I'm the only person who actually looks skinnier on camera than in person. Isn't the camera supposed to add 10 pounds?



Be sure to check back here regularly because I am going to try to add a new workout video every week.

Fast Fat Loss Workout

Today was a crazy day.

I had non-stop appointments for 8 hours straight, including a couple deep tissue massages.

Needless to say that when I finally sat down I was spent. That's OK, because I love what I do for a living.

I get to wear comfortable clothes, I own a private studio, which means nobody is around to bug me or my clients. No weirdos lurking around the gym, no inconsiderate people leaving sweat pools on benches and the music is good.

Anyway, after my day I didn't really want to workout. I could have believed the excuse I was giving myself "I worked hard all day training clients and giving a couple deep tissue massages, I don't need to workout".

It's true, I probably could've gotten by taking a day off. The only problem is that believing that excuse begins a cycle...and a bad cycle.

Where does it stop?

Pretty soon I'll be telling myself that I don't have time to workout.

That's not true. I've been telling you that for months, possibly years. That's not a viable excuse.

So I bucked up and did the following workout. You can do it too if you have the equipment in your home gym.

Warm-up 3 sets:
Hatchets - 15 reps
Push-ups - 15 reps

I had 8 minutes left in my 10 minute workout after the warm-up and did as many sets as possible of the following:

Chin-up - 10 reps
Dips - 10 reps

I only rested 15-20 seconds after the dips before returning to the chin-ups. I don't remember exactly how many sets I got in because I was breathing so hard and was in kind of a daze from all those chin-ups.

Needless to say, this fast 10 minute workout was a killer!

I've included tons of 10 minute workouts just like this one in my Fat Loss To Go program. Go to www.fatlosstogo.com to learn more!

Have a good day!

10 Minute Workouts for Fat Loss. Real or a Bunch of Hooey?

One of my preferred ways of working out is by doing 10 minute workuts.

They’re quick, intense and leave me huffing and puffing long after the 10 minutes is complete.

But I’m a personal trainer and already in good shape, so are they effective for the everyday person looking for fat loss? Can you really do a 10 minute workout and expect to lose fat?

My answer to that is a resounding YES!

If you are someone who says they really don’t have that much time to workout and that’s what’s keeping you from losing the weight you’ve put on, then 10 minute workouts are definitely for you.

Or, if you know you have a busy week coming up and are worried that your regular workouts are going to have to be put on hold, then 10 minute workouts are also for you.

The most important thing to remember when doing 10 minute workouts is that you need to throw out the time wasting exercises like bicep curls, triceps kickbacks and crunches and stick to exercises that work your entire body or at least a good portion of it.

I’ll give you an example of what I did earlier today. I had a very busy that was packed full of clients, however I had a 30 minute window where I needed to get a few things accomplished, one of them being my workout.

So here’s what I did after my quick warm-up:

1) 1-Arm Dumbbell Swing supersetted with 1-leg Decline Push-ups

2) Dumbbell Squat w/Shoulder Press supersetted with Dumbbell Bent-Over Rows

I did each of those supersets for 5 minutes completing as many sets of 10 as I could. After I was done with 1 set of the first superset, I would rest for 20 seconds and repeat.

Then, when 5 minutes was up, I went on to the second superset and did it in the same fashion.

By the time that 10 minutes was up I was huffing and puffing, and my heart rate stayed elevated for a while. I still felt pumped up for quite a while into my next training session.

So give that workout a try, or come up with your own. Just make sure that you pick exercises that use a lot of muscle groups like push-ups, squats, lunges, rows, etc. and stay away from crunches and isolation exercises.

Or, if you want a bunch of 10 minute workouts laid out for you, check out my Fat Loss To Go fat loss program by going to www.fatlosstogo.com In it you’ll find an entire eBook dedicated to nothing but 10 minute workouts!

Have a good day!
